New York time at least four (4) LIBOR Business Days prior to the date on which the applicable Interest Period will commence.  If a LIBOR Rate Election is then in effect with respect to any portion of the Loans, then the Adjusted LIBOR Rate with respect to any additional Facility A Loan made during the applicable Interest Period then in effect shall be the Adjusted LIBOR Rate then in effect with respect to such Interest Period.  In no event may Borrower elect an Interest Period with respect to the Facility A Loans which extends beyond the Facility A Maturity Date or an Interest Period with respect to Facility B Loans or Facility C Loans which extends beyond the Facility B/C Maturity Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) except with respect to Facility A Loans funded solely to fund a Requisition or to pay interest on the Loans, the LIBOR Rate Election may be exercised from time to time only as to a minimum aggregate amount of $53,000,000, and (ii) in no event shall more than seven (7) Interest Periods be in effect at any time for the Loans.  If Borrower does not select an Interest Period at least four (4) LIBOR Business Days prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, then the Applicable Rate for such amount following the end of such Interest Period shall be based on a thirty (30) day Interest Period.

 

(d)               If the Agent determines (in the case of clauses (i), (iii) and (iv) below) or receives notice from any Lender (in the case of clause (ii) below) (which determination by the Agent or such Lender shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error) (i) that dollar deposits in respect of any portion of the Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate are not generally available at such time in the London Interbank market, (ii) that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of maintaining a LIBOR Rate on such portion of the Loans or of funding the same due to circumstances

 

45



 

affecting the London interbank market generally, (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining a LIBOR Rate or (iv) that an Adjusted LIBOR Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law pay, then, in any such event, the Agent shall so notify Borrower and the Lenders and all portions of the Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate that are so affected shall, as of the date of such notification with respect to an event described in clauses (ii) or (iv) above, or as of the expiration of the Applicable Rate Interest Period with respect to an event described in clauses (i) or (iii) above, bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate until such time as the situations described above are no longer in effect.

 

(e)               If the introduction of (or any change in) any Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate with respect to its Loans or any portion thereof, or to fund its Loans or any portion thereof in dollars in the London interbank market, then (i) such Lender shall notify Borrower and the Agent that such Lender is no longer able to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, (ii) the Applicable Rate shall automatically be converted to the Adjusted Prime Rate and (iii) Borrower shall pay to such Lender the amount of Breakage Costs (if any) incurred by such Lender in connection with such conversion.  Such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to avoid incurring any Breakage Costs but shall have no liability if any Breakage Costs are incurred. Thereafter, interest shall accrue on such Loans or the applicable portion thereof at the Adjusted Prime Rate until such time as the situation described herein is no longer in effect.

 

(f)                Interest on the outstanding principal balance of Loans made under a Loan Facility shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (ii) a daily rate applicable to such Loans based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (iii) the outstanding principal balance of such Loans.

 

(g)               Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on any portion of its Loans bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain such portion of its Loans at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of any portion of the Loans bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate on a day that (A) is not the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (B) is the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained

 

46



 

by it in order to maintain such portion of its Loans at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate and (iii) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Applicable Rate from an Adjusted LIBOR Rate to the Adjusted Prime Rate with respect to any portion of the Loans on a date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain such portion of its Loans at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”). This provision shall survive payment of the Notes in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender shall make reasonable efforts to avoid incurring any Breakage Costs in connection with the application of the Release Prices in reduction of the Debt.

 

(h)               The outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall bear interest at the Default Rate at any time during which an Event of Default exists.

 

ARTICLE VI
COSTS OF MAINTAINING LOAN

 

Section 6.1             Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy.

 

(a)               Borrower recognizes that the cost to the Lenders of maintaining the Loans or any portion thereof may fluctuate and Borrower agrees to pay each Lender additional amounts to compensate such Lender for any increase in costs incurred in maintaining its Loans or any portion thereof or for the reduction of any amounts received or receivable from Borrower as a result of:

 

(i)         any change after the date hereof in any Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation or administration thereof, or by any domestic or foreign court, (x) changing the basis of taxation of payments under this Agreement to such Lender (other than taxes imposed on all or any portion of the overall net income or receipts of such Lender), (y) imposing, modifying or applying any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds for loans by such Lender or (z) imposing on such Lender, or the London interbank market generally, any other condition affecting its Loans, provided that the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of maintaining its Loans or any portion thereof or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable from Borrower by such Lender under the Loan Documents; or

 

(ii)        the maintenance by such Lender of reserves in accordance with reserve requirements promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States with respect to “Eurocurrency Liabilities” of a similar term to that of its Loans (without duplication for reserves already accounted for in the calculation of a LIBOR Rate pursuant to the terms hereof).

 

47



 

(b)               If the application of any Law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted or arising out of the report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards”, or the adoption after the date hereof of any other Law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in any of the foregoing, or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any domestic or foreign Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital to a level below that which such Lender would have achieved but for such application, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction with respect to any portion of such Lender’s Loans outstanding.

 

(c)               Any amount payable by Borrower under subsection (a) or subsection (b) of this Section 6.1 shall be paid within five (5) days of receipt by Borrower of a certificate signed by an authorized officer of a Lender setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error.

ARTICLE X
CONSTRUCTION BUDGET; RESERVES; OPERATING BUDGET

 

Section 10.1                                Construction Budget.

 

Disbursements of the Facility A Loans shall be governed by the Construction Budget. The Construction Budget shall include, in addition to the Budget Line Items described in Section 10.2 below, the Contingency Reserve and the Interest Reserve.  Subject to the proviso to the penultimate sentence of this Section 10.1, Borrower shall not modify the Construction Budget without first obtaining the Required Lenders’ prior written consent thereto. Borrower may reallocate funds among Budget Line Items in the

 

55



 

Construction Budget as are reasonably necessary for the Construction of the Improvements in Borrower’s judgment, provided that without the Lenders’ prior consent (a) funds may only be moved to or from any particular Budget Line Item once per Budget Line Item and (b) any individual Budget Line Item shall not be reduced by more than five percent (5%); provided, however, that no such reallocation or modification to the Construction Budget shall be made which reduces the Budget Line Item for interest payable on the Notes without the prior consent of all Lenders. Borrower shall not otherwise modify the Construction Budget.

 

Section 10.2                                Budget Line Items.

 

(a)               The Construction Budget shall include as line items (“Budget Line Items”) all Hard Costs and Soft Costs. All Facility A Loan proceeds disbursed by Facility A Lenders shall be used only for the Budget Line Items for which such proceeds were disbursed.

 

(b)               The Facility A Lenders shall not be obligated to disburse any amount for any category of costs set forth as a Budget Line Item which is greater than the amount set forth for such category in the applicable Budget Line Item. Borrower shall pay as they become due all amounts set forth in the Construction Budget with respect to costs to be paid for by Borrower. If any Budget Line Item shall be (i) completed without the expenditure of all amounts in the Construction Budget allocated to such Budget Line Item or (ii) with regard to unfinished Budget Line Items, to the extent Borrower can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Agent that savings in the particular Budget Line Item exist that do not result from either the Interest Reserve or the Contingency Reserve and such potential savings do not result in an increase to the Construction Budget, then Borrower may reallocate savings, provided that: (x) Borrower shall have submitted to the Lenders a revised Construction Budget reflecting the reallocation of Budget Line Items; and (y) no Budget Line Item for Hard Costs shall be reallocated to pay any Budget Line Item for Soft Costs until Borrower has paid all Hard Costs and completed the Improvements.

 

Section 10.3                                Contingency Reserve.

 

The Construction Budget shall contain a Budget Line Item for additional, unforeseen costs and expenses (the “Contingency Reserve”). Borrower may from time to time request that the Required Lenders permit the reallocation of portions of the Contingency Reserve to pay costs of the Project for which amounts remaining in any Budget Line Item are insufficient. Borrower agrees that the decision with respect to utilizing portions of the Contingency Reserve in order to keep the Loans “In Balance” shall be made by the Required Lenders in their reasonable discretion, and that the Required Lenders may require Borrower to make a Deficiency Deposit even if funds remain in the Contingency Reserve.

 

56



 

Section 10.4                                Interest Reserve and Facility A Loans to Pay Interest.

 

The Construction Budget shall contain a Budget Line Item for payment of interest due in respect of the Loans (the “Interest Reserve”). Pursuant to Section 4.2(e), the Facility A Lenders shall make Facility A Loans to pay accrued interest on the Notes, and Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent from time to time to disburse such Facility A Loan proceeds to pay all such accrued interest regardless of whether Borrower shall have specifically requested disbursement of such amount. Any such disbursement, if made, shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Facility A Notes and shall, when disbursed, bear interest at the Applicable Rate.

 

Section 10.5                                Tax and Insurance Reserve.

 

The Construction Budget shall contain Budget Line Items for payment of real estate taxes and Insurance Premiums (the “Tax and Insurance Reserve”). Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent from time to time, for the mutual convenience of the Lenders and Borrower, to disburse Facility A Loan proceeds to pay real estate taxes and Insurance Premiums, to the extent then due and payable, regardless of whether Borrower shall have specifically requested disbursement of such amount. Any such disbursement, if made, shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Facility A Notes and shall, when disbursed, bear interest at the Applicable Rate. The authorization hereby granted, however, shall not obligate Facility A Lenders to make disbursements of the Facility A Loans for real estate taxes and Insurance Premiums, unless Borrower requests, and qualifies for, disbursement of the portion of the Construction Budget allocated therefor.

 

ARTICLE XI
SUFFICIENCY OF LOANS

 

Section 11.1                                Loans In Balance.

 

Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, until substantial completion of the Improvements in accordance with the Plans and Specifications (except for the completion of punch-list items) the Loans shall at all times be “In Balance”, on a Budget Line Item basis and in the aggregate. A Budget Line Item shall be deemed to be “In Balance” only if the Required Lenders, in their reasonable discretion, determine that the amount of such Budget Line Item is sufficient for its intended purpose. The Loans shall be deemed to be “In Balance” in the aggregate only when the total of the undisbursed portion of the Facility A Commitment, plus the portion of the Additional Equity Requirement remaining to be invested, plus the undisbursed balance of Available Contract Deposits, plus Deficiency Deposits previously made by Borrower, plus the amount on deposit in the Facility A Excess Proceeds Account, less the Contingency Reserve (such total being the “Available Funds”), equals or exceeds the aggregate of: (i) the costs required to complete the Construction in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and the Construction Budget through substantial completion; (ii) the amounts to be paid as retainages to persons who have supplied labor or materials to the Project; (iii) amounts required to be refunded or otherwise paid to any contract vendee under a Contract of Sale; and (iv) all other Hard Costs and Soft Costs not yet paid

 

57



 

for in connection with the Project, as such costs and amounts described in clauses (i) through (iv) above may be estimated and/or approved in writing by the Agent from time to time (such costs and amounts in (i) through (iv) being the “Outstanding Loan Costs”). If, in the Agent’s reasonable determination, either any Budget Line Item is insufficient for such purpose or the aggregate amount of the Available Funds is less than Outstanding Loan Costs, then Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days after written request by the Agent (with simultaneous copies of such written request sent to Guarantors and the Lenders), deposit the deficiency with the Agent (a “Deficiency Deposit”). The Deficiency Deposit shall first be exhausted before any further disbursement of Facility A Loan proceeds shall be made. Any Deficiency Deposit remaining after a particular Budget Line Item or the Loans, as the case may be, are back “In Balance” shall be returned to Borrower. Facility A Lenders shall not be obligated to make any Facility A Loan disbursements if and for as long as the Loans are not “In Balance”.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be obligated to make a Deficiency Deposit if at any time the Loan is not “In Balance” as a result of a failure of a Facility A Lender to fund its Facility A Pro Rata Share of a Facility A Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and so long as Borrower has funded such Defaulting Lender’s Facility A Pro Rata Share of such Facility A Loan.

61



 

Section 13.3                                Expense Reserve.

 

(a)               Prior to the making of the final Facility A Loan to Borrower, Borrower shall cause the Expense Reserve Account to have been established and an amount equal to the Expense Reserve shall have been deposited into the Expense Reserve Account from (i) proceeds from Facility A Loans and an equity contribution by Borrower made in accordance with Section 12.1(l), or (ii) funds from Borrower (or a combination of (i) and (ii)).

 

(b)               Once established and funded pursuant to Section 13.3(a), the Expense Reserve shall be maintained until the Debt has been paid in full; provided, however, that upon closing of the sale of Units to Exclusive Resorts under the terms of the ER Purchase Agreement Borrower may deliver to the Agent projections with respect to the Expense Reserve Items for the three-month period immediately following such sale.  If such projections, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders, show that the aggregate amount of Expense Reserve Items for such three-month period is less than the amount on deposit in the Expense Reserve Account, then the Agent shall withdraw the difference from the Expense Reserve Account and remit such funds to Borrower.  From and after such date, the Expense Reserve required to be maintained hereunder shall equal such reduced amount.

 

(c)               If Borrower fails to pay when due any of the Expense Reserve Items, the Agent may (and shall at the direction of the Required Lenders) upon not less than two (2) Business Days’ notice to Borrower from the Agent or any Lender withdraw funds in the Expense Reserve Account up to an amount equal to the Expense Reserve to make such payment; provided that so long as the Notes have not been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 20.1, the Required Lenders shall not direct the Agent to withdraw funds from the Expense Reserve Account to pay interest on the Notes unless the amount to be withdrawn is  at least equal to the lesser of (i) an amount sufficient to pay accrued and unpaid interest then due on all Notes or (ii) the remaining amount of the Expense Reserve then available in the Expense Reserve Account; provided further that any such withdrawal to pay interest on the Notes shall be applied pursuant to Section 21.2.  If any withdrawal is made, the Agent shall notify Borrower of such withdrawal, and within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of such notice Borrower shall deposit into the Expense Reserve Account the amount of such withdrawal.

 

(d)               The Agent is hereby authorized and directed with respect to all sums of money and other property and all proceeds thereof held in the Expense Reserve Account to invest in, reinvest or otherwise liquidate Permitted Investments in accordance with instructions of Borrower; provided that no more than fifty percent (50%) of the amount of funds held in the Expense Reserve Account may be invested in Permitted Investments with maturities greater than thirty (30) days from the date of investment and no funds in the Expense Reserve Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments with a maturity greater than one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of investment; provided, further, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or after Borrower’s failure to pay when due any Expense Reserve Item Borrower

 

62



 

shall not have the right to provide the Agent any such investment instructions.  If on the last Business Day of each calendar month the aggregate amount of cash plus the fair market value of Permitted Investments in the Expense Reserve Account exceeds the amount of the Expense Reserve then the Agent shall cause an amount of cash (including cash proceeds from the sale, liquidation or redemption of any Permitted Investments in the Expense Reserve Account) equal to such excess amount (calculated as of the date of withdrawal), less any penalty or charge applicable to the sale, liquidation or redemption of the Permitted Investment in connection therewith, to be withdrawn from the Expense Reserve Account and paid to Borrower.  In addition if on the last Business Day of each calendar month the aggregate amount of cash plus the fair market value of Permitted Investments in the Expense Reserve Account is less than the amount of the Expense Reserve then the Agent shall notify the Borrower of such deficiency and within fifteen (15) Business Days of such notice Borrower shall deposit funds into the Expense Reserve Account equal to such deficiency.  The Agent shall not be liable for any loss resulting from any investment in any Permitted Investments or the sale, liquidation or redemption thereof as contemplated by this Section 13.3(c).

 

(e)               If thirty (30) or more days have elapsed since the date on which the principal amount of the Notes has been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 20.1, the Agent may (and shall at the direction of the Required Lenders) apply amounts in the Expense Reserve Account up to an amount equal to the Expense Reserve to the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 21.1.  Upon payment in full of the Debt, all amounts in the Expense Reserve Account shall be immediately transferred by the Agent to Borrower.

Upon notice to Borrower, the Agent, Agent’s Consultant and their respective agents and employees, shall have the right of entry and access to the entire Project in connection with their review of the Plans and Specifications or any other aspect of the Project.

 

(d)               Construction of the Improvements.  Borrower commenced Construction on or before the Construction Commencement Date.  Borrower shall continue to perform the Construction in a good and workmanlike manner with materials of high quality and in substantial accordance with the Plans and Specifications. Borrower shall prosecute the Construction with due diligence and continuity in accordance with the Construction Schedule and shall substantially complete the Construction before the Completion Date.  All work performed in connection with the Property shall comply with all Laws and all Governmental Approvals.

 

(e)               Change Orders.  No changes will be made in the Plans and Specifications without the prior written approval of the Lenders, which shall not be unreasonably withheld after the Lenders’ initial approval of the final Plans and Specifications; provided, however, that Borrower may make changes to the Plans and Specifications without the Lenders’ consent if (i) Borrower notifies the Agent in writing of such change within five (5) Business Days thereafter; (ii) Borrower obtains the approval of all parties whose approval is required, including sureties and Governmental Authorities; (iii) the structural integrity of the Improvements is not impaired; (iv) no material change in architectural appearance is effected; (v) the performance of the

(g)               Liens.  Borrower will not suffer or permit any construction lien claims to be filed or otherwise asserted against the Project or any funds due to the General Contractor, and will promptly discharge the same in case of the filing of any claims for lien or proceedings for the enforcement thereof, provided, however, that Borrower may contest in good faith and with reasonable diligence the validity of any such lien or claim, provided that Borrower posts a statutory lien bond which removes such lien from title to the Project within thirty (30) days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof. The Facility A Lenders will not be required to make any further disbursements of the proceeds of the Facility A Loans until any construction lien claims have been removed (by payment or by posting a bond) and the Agent may, at its option, restrict disbursements to reserve sufficient sums to pay 150% of the lien. If Borrower shall fail timely to (i) discharge any such lien or (ii) post a statutory lien bond, any Lender may, at its election (but shall not be required to), procure the release and discharge of such lien and any judgment or decree thereon and, further, may in its sole discretion, settle or compromise the same, or may furnish such security or indemnity as Title Insurer shall require to insure such Lender against the enforcement thereof, and any amounts so expended by such Lender shall be added to the Debt.

Promptly following its receipt thereof, Borrower shall furnish the Agent with a copy of any material notice received or delivered by Borrower in respect of the Construction Contracts, including, without limitation, any notice of default.

 

(i)                Subsequent Development Matters.  Borrower shall not, subsequent to the Effective Date, enter into easements, covenants or agreements regarding or affecting title to the Land or the Project or the zoning, subdivision or land use classification of the Land without the prior written consent of the Lenders, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld with respect to easements, covenants and agreements reasonably required to effect the development of the Project for the uses intended by this Agreement.

 

(j)                Certificate of Occupancy.  Borrower shall obtain a Certificate of Occupancy for all of the Units by no later than December 31, 2009.

 

(k)               Payment of Taxes.  Borrower shall pay all real estate taxes and assessments and charges of every kind upon the Project before the same become delinquent, provided, however, that Borrower may pay such tax under protest or to otherwise contest any such tax or assessment, but only if (i) such contest has the effect of preventing the collection of such taxes so contested and also of preventing the sale or forfeiture of the Project or any part thereof or any interest therein, (ii) Borrower has notified the Agent of Borrower’s intent to contest such taxes, and (iii) Borrower has deposited security for the payment of contested taxes in form and amount satisfactory to the Required Lenders.

Borrower shall furnish the Agent with evidence that taxes are paid at least ten (10) days prior to the last date for payment of such taxes and before imposition of any penalty or accrual of interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent shall not assert a default for failure to pay real estate taxes, provided that (x) there exists no Event of Default and (y) adequate funds for the payment of real estate taxes exist in the Tax Escrow Fund.

 

(l)                Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.  From and after substantial completion of the Improvements, in the event the unadvanced portion of the Facility A Commitment is insufficient for payment of real estate taxes and Insurance Premiums, then upon request by the Agent Borrower shall pay to the Agent on each Payment Date

 

76



 

(i) one-twelfth (1/12) of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the real estate taxes payable, or estimated by the Agent to be payable, during the ensuing twelve (12) months (the “Tax Escrow Fund”) and (ii) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums payable, or estimated by Lender to be payable, during the ensuring twelve months (the “Insurance Escrow Fund”, and, together with the Tax Escrow Fund, the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent shall advance such amounts from the undisbursed balance of the Tax and Insurance Reserve in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.5 hereof, provided that (i) no Event of Default exists, (ii) no dispute exists in respect of amounts to be disbursed for the payment of real estate taxes or Insurance Premiums and (iii) the line items in respect of real estate taxes and Insurance Premiums set forth in the Construction Budget are in balance. The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, the Servicing Fees and the monthly installments of interest payable under the Notes shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to the Agent. Borrower hereby pledges to the Agent any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund as additional security for the payment of the Debt. The Agent will apply (i) the Insurance Escrow Fund to insurance premiums required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 15.2 hereof and (ii) the Tax Escrow Fund to real estate taxes required to be paid by Borrower under Section 15.1(k) hereof. If at any time the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not sufficient to pay real estate taxes or insurance premiums, Borrower shall pay to the Agent, within ten (10) days after written demand, the Agent’s estimate of the amount required to remedy the deficiency. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent may (and shall at the direction of the Required Lenders) apply any sums then comprising the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 21.1.  Until expended or applied as above provided, any amounts in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall constitute additional security for the Debt. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by the Agent. No earnings or interest on the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be payable to Borrower.

 

(m)              Management Agreements.  Borrower shall not retain any property manager or enter into any management agreement with respect to the management or operation on any portion of the Project without the Lenders’ prior written consent.

 

(n)               Personal Property.  Except as hereinafter provided, Borrower shall keep all Personal Property incorporated in the Project free of all liens, encumbrances and security interests, other than the liens, encumbrances and security interests in favor of the Agent created by the Loan Documents. Prior to completion of the Improvements, Borrower shall provide to the Agent, when requested but no more frequently than quarterly, an inventory of the Personal Property and shall execute such financing statements as may be reasonably required by the Agent to perfect the Agent’s security interest on the same. No Personal Property shall be purchased or installed in the Improvements by Borrower under any security agreement, conditional sales contract or other agreement wherein the seller reserves a security interest in, or the right to remove or to repossess, such items or to consider them personal property after their incorporation into the Improvements, except for capital leases approved by the Required Lenders.

Borrower shall provide the Agent with a copy of the fully executed original of all leases promptly following their execution. Borrower shall deposit all security deposits under leases in a segregated account with a financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Agent. At the Agent’s request, Borrower shall cause tenants to execute subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. The Agent reserves the right (exercisable only at the direction of the Lenders) to subordinate the lien of the Mortgage to any lease.

 

(p)               Certain Agreements.  Without the prior written consent of the Lenders, Borrower shall not modify or terminate (i) any of the ML&P Agreements, (ii) any of the Marketing Agreements, (iii) the Ground Lease, (iv) the ER Purchase Agreement, (v) the Ritz-Carlton Consent Agreement, (vi) the ML&P Consent Agreement, (vii) any of the Development Documents, or (viii) the Condominium Documents. Borrower shall timely observe and perform all of its obligations under the foregoing agreements. Promptly after receipt thereof, Borrower shall furnish the Agent with a copy of any material notice received or delivered by Borrower under any of the foregoing agreements, including, without limitation, any notice of default. The execution of a Contract of Sale for an individual Unit to be purchased by Exclusive Resorts under the ER Purchase Agreement shall not be deemed such a modification or termination as contemplated under this Section 15.1(p); provided that the purchase price for such Unit is the same as set forth in the ER Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that (x) the Borrower and Exclusive Resorts have the right to modify the ER Purchase Agreement and individual purchase agreements entered into pursuant thereto prior to the initial execution of the individual purchase agreements without the Lenders’ consent provided that such changes are not inconsistent with the First Amendment to the ER Purchase Agreement between the parties dated June 28, 2006, that the purchase prices identified therein are not modified and further provided that this Section shall not be deemed to waive the Lenders’ consent rights to any amendment negotiated after the individual agreements are signed, and (y) Borrower may make modifications or amendments to the aforementioned agreements without the Lenders’ consent provided that such amendments or modifications will solely affect portions of the Property that are to be released by the Agent pursuant to this Agreement from and after the effective date of such release.

Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to the Agent, certificates of insurance evidencing the renewal of the Policies, accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the Agent of payment of the premiums thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to the Agent.

 

(c)               Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Project the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Project in compliance with the provisions of Section 15.2(a) hereof.

 

(d)               All Policies of insurance provided for by Section 15.2(a) hereof, except for the Policy referred to in Section 15.2(a)(iv) hereof, shall name Borrower as the insured and the Agent as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause (or its equivalent) in favor of the Agent providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to the Agent.

 

(e)               All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 15.2(a) hereof shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that;

 

(i)         no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any tenant or other occupant of the Project, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as the Agent is concerned;

 

(ii)        the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Agent and any other party named therein as an additional insured;

 

(iii)       the issuers thereof shall give written notice to the Agent if the Policy has not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and

 

(iv)      the Agent shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

 

83



 

(f)                If at any time the Agent is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, the Agent or any Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as the Agent or such Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Project, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as the Agent or any Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All Insurance Premiums incurred by the Agent and any Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to the Agent or the applicable Lenders upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

(g)               The Borrower may obtain the insurance required hereunder from any insurance company of the Borrower’s choice that is acceptable to the Required Lenders, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Required Lenders’ nonacceptance of an insurer shall not be deemed unreasonable if it is based upon reasonable standards, uniformly applied, relating to the extent of coverage required and the financial soundness and services of the insurer. Such standards shall not discriminate against any particular insurer nor shall such standards call for rejection of an insurance contract because the contract contains coverage in addition to that required under this Agreement.

Subject to Section 21.10:

 

(a)               Each Subordinate Lender agrees that it shall not contest, protest or object to (i) any foreclosure proceeding commenced by, or any other exercise of remedies relating to the Collateral by the Agent in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (ii) any forbearance by the Senior Lenders in causing the Agent to commence any such proceeding or exercise any such remedy.  The Senior Lenders shall have the exclusive right to direct and instruct the Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement with respect to exercise and enforcement of rights, remedies and powers with respect to the Loan Documents and the Collateral and with respect to determinations regarding release, disposition or restrictions with respect to the Collateral, in each case without consent of any Subordinate Lender.

 

(b)               The Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no covenant, agreement or other provision of any of the Loan Documents shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights of the Senior Lenders or the Subordinate Lenders with respect to the Collateral and the Loan Documents.

 

(c)               The Subordinate Lenders agree that they shall take such actions as the Agent, at the direction of Senior Lenders constituting Required Lenders, may reasonably request in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any right, remedy or power under or with respect to the Loan Documents.

including with respect to the determination of any Liens or claims held by the Agent or any Senior Lender (including the validity and enforceability thereof) or the value of any claims of such parties under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; provided that the Subordinate Lenders may file a proof of claim in a Bankruptcy Proceeding subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement and only if consistent with the terms and the limitations on the Subordinate Lenders imposed hereby.

 

(b)               Financing MattersIf Borrower or any Guarantor becomes subject to any Bankruptcy Proceeding, and if the Senior Lenders constituting Required Lenders, directly or through the Agent, desire to consent (or not object) to the sale, use or lease of cash or other collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or to provide financing to Borrower or such Guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code or to consent (or not object) to the provision of such financing by any third party (a “DIP Financing”), then the Subordinate Lenders agree that each Subordinate Lender (i) will be deemed to have consented to, will raise no objection to, nor support any other Person objecting to, the sale, use or lease of such cash or other collateral or to such DIP Financing, (ii) other than in accordance with Section 21.5(d), will not request or accept any form of adequate protection or any other relief in connection with the sale, use or lease of such cash or other collateral or such DIP Financing, (iii) will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) the Debt of such Subordinate Lenders and their respective interests in the Loan Documents (A) to such DIP Financing with the same terms and conditions as the Senior Lenders and their respective interests in the Loan Documents are subordinated thereto (and such subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement), (B) to any adequate protection provided to the Senior Lenders and (C) to any “carve-out” for professional and United States Trustee fees agreed to by the Senior Lenders constituting Required Lenders, and (D) agrees that notice received five (5) calendar days prior to any hearing seeking entry of an order approving such usage of cash collateral or approving such financing shall be adequate notice.

102



 

(e)               Asset Dispositions in a Bankruptcy Proceeding.  No Subordinate Lender shall, in any Bankruptcy Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any assets of Borrower or any Guarantor or any Collateral that is supported by the Senior Lenders constituting Required Lenders or by the Agent at the direction of the Senior Lenders constituting Required Lenders, and the Subordinate Lenders will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale supported by the Agent or the Senior Lenders constituting Required Lenders and to have released the interest of the Subordinate Lenders in such assets.

 

(f)                No Waivers.  Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the Agent or the Senior Lenders from objecting in any Bankruptcy Proceeding with respect to Borrower or any Guarantor or otherwise to any action taken by any Subordinate Lender, including the seeking by any Subordinate Lender of adequate protection or the assertion by any Subordinate Lender of any of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to Borrower or any Guarantor or the Collateral.

 

(g)               Plans of Reorganization.  No Subordinate Lender shall support or vote in favor of any plan of reorganization (and each shall vote and shall be deemed to have voted to reject any plan of reorganization) of Borrower or any Guarantor unless such plan (i) pays off, in cash in full, all obligations owing to the Senior Lenders under the Loan Documents or (ii) is accepted by the Senior Lenders.  To the extent that any Subordinate Lender attempts to vote or votes in favor of any such plan or reorganization in a manner inconsistent with this Section 21.5(g), such Subordinate Lender irrevocably agrees that the Agent or any Senior Lender may be, and may be deemed, an “authorized agent” of such party under Bankruptcy Rules 3018(c) and 9010, authorized and entitled to submit a superseding ballot on behalf of such Subordinate Lender that is consistent with this Agreement.

 

(h)               Other Matters.  To the extent that any Subordinate Lender has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any of the Collateral, such Subordinate Lender agrees not to assert any of such rights without the prior written consent of the Senior Lenders constituting Required Lenders; provided that if requested by the Agent or the Senior Lenders constituting Required Lenders, the Subordinate Lenders shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the Agent or such Senior Lenders, including any rights to payments in respect of such rights.

Section 21.6                                Other Rights as Creditors

 

(a)               Nothing in this Article XXI shall prohibit receipt by any Subordinate Lender of the required payments to be made with respect to the portion of the Debt owed to such Subordinate Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including Section 21.1).  Without the prior consent of the Senior Lenders constituting Required Lenders, no Lender shall seek to obtain a judgment claim in respect of any of the Debt or any of the Collateral.  If, however, in violation of the immediately preceding sentence any Subordinate Lender becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of any of the Debt or any of the Collateral, such Subordinate Lender shall forthwith assign such judgment lien to the Agent to be held, enforced, collected and applied by the Agent in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

 

(b)               The Lenders shall not acquire or hold any Lien on any of the assets of Borrower or any Guarantor except under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  If any Lender shall nonetheless, and in breach of this Agreement, acquire or hold any Lien on any of such assets of Borrower or any Guarantor, then such Lender shall (i) be deemed to hold such Lien for the benefit of the Agent as security for the Debt and shall assign such Lien to the Agent to be held, enforced, collected and applied by the Agent in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement or (ii) release such Lien if so requested by the Senior Lenders constituting Required Lenders.

Section 21.8                                No Duty to Subordinate Lenders.

 

Subject to Section 21.10:

 

(a)               None of the Senior Lenders shall have any duty or responsibility to any Subordinate Lender in respect of any exercising or failing to exercise any right under this Agreement, and shall not be required to take into account the interests of any Subordinate Lender or the effect on such interests or the portion of the Debt owed to the

 

104



 

Subordinate Lenders in exercising or failing to exercise any right under this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Subordinate Lender hereby (i) waives all rights to any fiduciary duty, duty of care owing to it by the Senior Lenders or other standard of conduct applicable to the Senior Lenders, and all rights to claim a violation of such duties or standards, (ii) acknowledges and agrees that in connection with any disposition of the Collateral the Senior Lenders constituting Required Lenders may accept a purchase price for the Collateral or any portion thereof in their sole discretion, including, without limitation, a purchase price for less than the aggregate amount of the Debt and that such purchase price may result in the Subordinate Lenders receiving no proceeds of such disposition and (iii) waives all rights to claim a violation of any law in connection with the disposition of the Collateral.

 

(b)               Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, each Subordinate Lender (i) acknowledges that it has independently and without reliance on any Senior Lender, and based on documents and information deemed by it to be appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into and be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) agrees that it will continue to make its own credit decisions without reliance on any Senior Lender.

(b)               The Subordinate Lenders also agree that the Senior Lenders shall have no liability to any Subordinate Lender, and the Subordinate Lenders hereby waive any claim against any Senior Lender, arising out of any and all actions which the Senior Lenders may take or permit or omit to take with respect to (i) the Loan Documents or (ii) the collection of the Debt, in accordance with this Agreement.

 

(c)               Until the portion of the Debt owing to the Senior Lenders has been paid in full, the Subordinate Lenders agree not to assert and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law with respect to the Collateral.

 

105



 

(d)               The Subordinate Lenders agree not to make any judicial or non-judicial claim or demand or commence any judicial or non-judicial proceeding against Borrower, any Guarantor or any of the Collateral seeking payment or damages or other relief by way or specific performance, injunction or otherwise, other than filing a proof of claim or the equivalent against Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to Section 21.5(a).

Wherever pursuant to this Agreement (a) the Lenders, the Required Lenders or the Agent exercise any right given to it to approve, disapprove or consent, (b) any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Agent, the Required Lenders or the Lenders, or (c) any other decision or determination is to be made by the Agent, the Required Lenders or the Lenders, the decision of the Agent, the Required Lenders or the Lenders to approve, disapprove or consent, all decisions that arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory and all other decisions and determinations made by the Agent, the Required Lenders or the Lenders, shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Agent, the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable, and shall be final and conclusive, except as may be otherwise expressly and specifically provided herein, and any such decision or determination to be made in “the sole discretion of the Agent”, “the sole discretion of the Required Lenders” or “the sole discretion of the Lenders” or in or at “Lender’s sole discretion”, “the Agent’s sole discretion” or “the Required Lender’s sole discretion” under this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Agent, the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable, and shall be final and conclusive.

119



 

request by Borrower for such consent (such twenty-one (21)  day period, the “21-Day Period”) or fails to notify Borrower and the Agent within such 21-Day Period that it requires additional information reasonably necessary for such Lender to make an informed decision; provided, that if within such 21-Day Period a Lender has notified the Agent and Borrower that the approval, consent or action is required by a court, Governmental Authority, creditor’s committee or other entity or body having jurisdiction over such Lender (collective, a “Third-Party Approval”) and that such 21-Day Period is not sufficient time for such Lender to obtain such Third-Party Approval, then the failure of such Lender to object to such matter within such 21-Day Period shall not be deemed to constitute such Lender’s consent thereto.

 

Section 23.16                          Conflict; Construction of Documents: Reliance.

 

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loans, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loans without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of the Lenders or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of any Lender. No Lender shall be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loans by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of any Lenders of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to any Lender’s or the Agent’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that the Lenders engage in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

 

Section 23.17                          Defaulting Lender.

 

(a)               If for any reason, any Lender fails or refuses to abide by its obligations under the Loan Agreement the other Loan Documents and such failure continues five (5) days after written notice from the Agent (or if the Agent, as a Lender, is the one refusing or failing to abide by its obligations, from any other Lender) of such failure (provided that no such written notice and opportunity to cure shall be applicable to the extent that it may, in any way, prejudice or adversely affect the rights or remedies of Agent under the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents) (each a “Defaulting Lender”), then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders at law and in equity, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loans and the Loan Documents, including without limitation, any rights to consent to or direct any action or inaction of the Agent shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal.

 

120



 

(b)               If for any reason any Defaulting Lender fails to make timely payment of any amount required to be paid by it hereunder or under the Loan Documents, in addition to other rights and remedies which the Agent or Borrower may have under Section 23.17(a) hereof or otherwise, the Agent, on behalf of all Lenders, shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from the Defaulting Lender for the period from (and including) the date on which the payment was due until (but excluding) the date on which the payment is made at the Prime Rate, (ii) pursuant to Section 23.17(d) hereof, to withhold or set off, and to apply to the payment of the defaulted amount and any related interest, any amounts to be paid to the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, and (iii) to bring an action or suit against the Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest.

 

(c)               If the Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Lenders (other than the Agent as a Lender hereunder) holding one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes shall have the immediate right to terminate the Agent as Agent hereunder and appoint a successor Agent.  Until such time as such successor Agent has accepted such appointment, the Agent shall take no action other than upon the consent or direction of the Required Lenders or, if such action requires the consent or direction of all of the Lenders, upon the consent or direction of all of the Lenders, subject to the terms hereof, including Section 23.2.

 

(d)               If any Defaulting Lender is a Facility A Lender and shall fail to make any Facility A Loan required under the Loan Agreement, the other Facility A Lenders shall have the right to fund such Facility A Loan on behalf of the Defaulting Lender (and if more than one Facility A Lender desires to fund such Facility A Loan, then the funding shall be made in accordance with their respective Facility A Pro Rata Share recalculated for the purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting Lender).  All Facility A Obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender hereunder shall he subordinated in right of payment, as provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all principal of, interest on and fees relating to the Facility A Loan funded by the Facility A Lenders in connection with any such Facility A Loan in which the Defaulting Lender has not funded its Facility A Pro Rata Share (or has otherwise failed or refused to abide by its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and such failure or refusal has a material adverse affect on the Lenders, the Tranche A Loans or Borrower) (such principal, interest and fees being referred to as “Default Loans for the purposes of this Section 23.17(d)).  Each Default Loan shall accrue interest at the Prime Rate. All amounts paid by Borrower and otherwise due to be applied to the Facility A Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by the Agent to the Facility A Lenders holding Default Loans in accordance with the respective balances of the outstanding

 

121



 

Default Loans until all Default Loans have been paid in full.  At that point, the “Defaulting Lender” shall no longer be deemed a Defaulting Lender . This provision governs only the relationship among the Agent, each Defaulting Lender and the other Facility A Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit the obligation of Borrower to repay all Facility A Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 23.17(d) apply and be effective regardless of whether an Event of Default occurs, and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (ii) any instruction of Borrower as to its desired application of payments or (iii) the suspension of such Defaulting Lender’s rights to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the Facility A Lenders or all Lenders.

 

Section 23.18                          Waiver of Lender Defaults.

 

Borrower, for itself, its Affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby expressly waive and release any defenses, rights of set-off, claims or counterclaims of whatever nature it may have against the Lenders, or any of them, arising from or relating to the failure of any Lender to fund an advance under the Original Construction Loan Agreement, the Split Notes or the Co-Lending Agreement prior to the Effective Date.

 

Section 23.19                          USA PATRIOT Act Notice.

 

Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

Borrower and MH Kapalua acknowledge and agree that it has requested the other parties hereto to enter into this Agreement and that it is Borrower’s and MH Kapalua’s intention that there shall be no merger of interests in the Mortgaged Property by reason of the fact that MH Kapalua may at any time acquire, own or hold, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part (a) more than one interest in the Mortgaged Property and (b) one or more Notes and a Lien or an interest in the Mortgage or any other Loan Document constitute a Lien, on the Mortgaged Property.
