DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

None

 


The matters discussed in this report contain certain forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding future financial performance and the effect of government regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and will be affected by a variety of risks and factors including, without limitation: national and local economic conditions; the terms of governmental regulations that affect the Registrant and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which the Registrant operates; financing risks, including the risk that cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; real estate risks, including variations of real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for tenants in such markets; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting and defending claims and any adverse outcomes, and possible environmental liabilities. Readers should carefully review the Registrant’s financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in the documents the Registrant files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The reader is further cautioned that the current general partner of the Registrant did not assume control of the Partnership until March 2005. While the current general partner has attempted to verify records and data it obtained for periods prior to March 2005, and believes it has done so to the extent reasonably possible and that such records and data in its possession do accurately reflect the condition of the Registrant for those periods prior to March 2005, the current general partner cannot assure the reader that such records and data are entirely complete and accurate, because the current general partner was not a party to the compilation of such records and data. With the foregoing admonition, the current general partner does believe that it has controlled the Partnership long enough to reasonably state that the consolidated financial statements contained herein present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and results of operation of the Partnership for the periods presented.

 

PART I

 

Item 1.

Description of Business

 

Secured Investment Resources Fund, L.P. II (the “Partnership” or “Registrant”) was organized on July 1, 1986 as a limited partnership under the Delaware Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The Partnership is governed by an Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership dated September 25, 1986. Millenium Management, LLC (“Millenium”), a California limited liability company, is the sole general partner (the “General Partner”) of the Partnership, having taken over the management of the Partnership from a receiver in March 2005. Any information contained in the 10KSB for dates prior to March 2005 is based solely on records received from the prior general partners and the prior receiver and may not have been capable of independent verification by the General Partner, although the General Partner is not aware of any material inaccuracy in such information. . Millenium’s ownership consists of two California limited liability companies, Everest Properties II, LLC (“Everest II”) and Everest Properties, LLC (“Everest”). Everest II owns 99.0% of Millenium and Everest owns 1.0% of Millenium. Millenium, Everest II and Everest have the same executive officers. Millenium and Everest II are also limited partners of the Partnership. The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on September 25, 2046 unless terminated prior to such date.

 

On September 26, 1986, the Partnership commenced a public offering for the sale of units (the “Units”). The Units represent equity interests in the Partnership and entitle the holders thereof to participate in certain allocations and distributions of the Partnership. The sale of Units closed on September 24, 1988, with 53,661 Units sold at $500 each, or gross proceeds of $26,830,500 to the Partnership. Since its initial offering, the Partnership has not received, nor are limited partners required to make, additional capital contributions.

 

The Partnership’s primary business and only industry segment is real estate related operations. The Partnership is engaged in the business of operating and holding real estate properties for investment. As of the close of fiscal year 2006, the Partnership owned, directly or indirectly through other entities, one commercial shopping center in Kansas City, Missouri, and residential apartment complexes in Las Vegas, Nevada, Springfield, Illinois and Topeka, Kansas. The commercial property is approximately 20 years old and the residential apartment complexes range in age from 20 to 32 years. The apartment complex in Las Vegas is in bankruptcy proceedings. See “Item 2. Description of Properties” and Item 3. “Legal Proceedings”. The apartment complex in Topeka was acquired by the Partnership through non-judicial foreclosure. See “Item 2. Description of Properties”.

Risk Factors

 

The real estate business in which the Partnership is engaged is highly competitive. There are numerous other properties within the market area of the Partnership’s properties. The number and quality of competitive properties, including those which may be managed by an affiliate of the General Partner, in such market area could have a material effect on the rental market for commercial shopping centers (in the case of the Partnership’s commercial shopping center) and for apartments (in the case of the Partnership’s residential apartment complexes) and the rents that may be charged for such shopping centers or apartments, as the case may be. The Partnership’s properties represent an insignificant percentage of total commercial shopping centers and apartment units in the United States and competition for both shopping centers and apartments is local.

 

Laws benefiting disabled persons may result in the Partnership’s incurrence of unanticipated expenses. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA, all places intended to be used by the public are required to meet certain Federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Likewise, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, or FHAA, requires apartment properties first occupied after March 13, 1990 to be accessible to the handicapped. These and other Federal, state and local laws may require modifications to the Partnership’s properties, or restrict renovations of the properties. Noncompliance with these laws could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants and also could result in an order to correct any non-complying feature, which could result in substantial capital expenditures. Although the General partner is not aware of any violations or noncompliance with these laws and believes that the Partnership’s properties are substantially in compliance with the present requirements, the Partnership may nonetheless incur unanticipated expenses to comply with the ADA and/or the FHAA.

 

Both the income and expenses of operating the properties owned by the Partnership are subject to factors outside of the Partnership’s control, such as changes in the supply and demand for similar properties resulting from various market conditions, increases/decreases in unemployment or population shifts, changes in the availability of permanent mortgage financing, changes in zoning laws, or changes in patterns or needs of users. In addition, there are risks inherent in owning and operating both commercial shopping centers and residential properties because both such property types are susceptible to the impact of economic and other conditions outside of the control of the Partnership.

 

From time to time, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI, and the United States Department of Homeland Security issue alerts regarding potential terrorist threats involving both commercial buildings and residential apartment buildings. Threats of future terrorist attacks, such as those announced by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, could have a negative effect on rent and occupancy levels at the Partnership’s properties. The effect that future terrorist activities or threats of such activities could have on the Partnership’s operations is uncertain and unpredictable. If the Partnership were to incur a loss at a property as a result of an act of terrorism, the Partnership could lose all or a portion of the capital invested in the property, as well as the future revenue from the property.

 

There have been, and it is possible there may be other, Federal, state and local legislation and regulations enacted relating to the protection of the environment. The Partnership is unable to predict the extent, if any, to which such new legislation or regulations might occur and the degree to which such existing or new legislation or regulations might adversely affect the properties owned by the Partnership.

 

The Partnership monitors its properties for evidence of pollutants, toxins and other dangerous substances, including the presence of asbestos. In certain cases environmental testing has been performed which resulted in no material adverse conditions or liabilities. To the knowledge of the General Partner, the Partnership has not received any notices that the Partnership is a potentially responsible party with respect to an environmental clean up site.

 

The Partnership has no employees. Property management is provided by independent third parties and administrative services are provided by the General Partner and by agents of the General Partner.

On August 15, 2006, the Partnership refinanced the first mortgage encumbering one of its investment properties, Bayberry Crossing Shopping Center. The new mortgage loan, in the principal amount of $3,125,000 replaced the existing mortgage loan, which had an outstanding balance at the time of the refinancing of $2,371,506. Closing costs of approximately $73,000 were capitalized during 2006 and are included in other assets. The new mortgage requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $19,220 beginning on September 11, 2006 until the loan matures on September 11, 2016 with a fixed interest rate of 6.24% and a balloon payment of approximately $2,633,000 due at maturity.

 

On October 4, 2006, the Partnership refinanced the first mortgage encumbering one of its investment properties, Cascade Apartments.

Closing costs of approximately $81,307 were capitalized during 2006 and are included in other assets. The new mortgage requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $14,855, beginning on December 1, 2006 until the loan matures on October 1, 2016, with a fixed interest rate of 5.77% and a balloon payment of approximately $2,053,000 due at maturity.  

 

On December 29, 2006, the Partnership refinanced bonds encumbering one of its investment properties, Oak Terrace Apartments.

As noted under “Item 1. Description of Business”, the real estate industry is highly competitive. All of the properties are subject to competition from other residential apartment complexes in the area (or other commercial retail space in the case of the Partnership’s shopping center). The General Partner believes that all of the properties are adequately insured. Each residential property is an apartment complex or seniors community which leases units for lease terms of one year or less. No residential tenant leases 10% or more of the available rental space. The commercial property consists generally of small retail tenants with lease terms generally under between one and five years. Two tenants each rent 10% or more of the available commercial space. All of the properties are in good physical condition, subject to normal depreciation and deterioration as is typical for assets of this type and age.

Capital Improvements

 

Bayberry Crossing

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Partnership completed approximately $388,000 of capital improvements at the property, consisting primarily of new roofing, exterior painting, parking lot repairs, sign repairs, landscaping upgrades and concrete walk repairs. These improvements were funded from a replacement reserve set up upon refinancing of the property. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2007. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

 

Cascade Apartments

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Partnership completed approximately $113,000 of capital improvements at the property, consisting primarily of carpet and appliance upgrades, and parking lot, sidewalks and carport improvements. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2007. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

 

Oak Terrace Community

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Partnership completed approximately $125,000 of capital improvements at the property, consisting primarily of a new roof replacement.

While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2007. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

 

Sunwood Apartments

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Partnership completed approximately $198,000 of capital improvements at the property, consisting primarily of plumbing replacement, air conditioning upgrades, furniture, fixture, and floor covering replacements and landscaping. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and replacement reserves. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. However, given that the property is the subject of bankruptcy proceedings, all capital expenditures during the bankruptcy period must be approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. See “Item 3, Legal Proceedings”. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2007. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as replacement reserves and anticipated cash flow generated by the property and the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

Item 3.

Legal Proceedings

Sunwood Village Bankruptcy

On September 12, 2006, Sunwood Village Joint Venture, Limited Partnership (“Sunwood”), a Nevada limited partnership, filed a voluntary petition for relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada, Case No. BK-S-06-12463. The Partnership holds a limited partnership interest in Sunwood that represents a material portion, but not substantially all of, the assets of the registrant.

 

 

6

 


The bankruptcy is occasioned by the maturity of the mortgage loan on Sunwood’s property at the same time Sunwood is effectively prevented from selling or refinancing the property because of the lis pendens recorded by Mega Ventures against the property relating to the litigation over their attempt to purchase the property.

Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, Sunwood retains possession and control of its assets and is operating its business as a debtor in possession while being subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court.

Sunwood Village Litigation

On March 8, 2005, Mega Ventures, LLC filed Case No. A500656 in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada to enforce an alleged agreement to sell the Sunwood Village Apartments. The Partnership believes that the agreement was terminated or is otherwise not enforceable and that it is in the best interest of the Partnership not to allow a sale of Sunwood Village for the price in the disputed agreement. The outcome of this litigation cannot be predicted; however, if Mega prevails in enforcing the alleged agreement or receiving a substantial award of damages, then the Partnership may not be able to realize any significant net proceeds from a sale of the Sunwood Village Apartments after repayment of outstanding obligations. If Sunwood JV prevails, then the Partnership would expect to realize significant proceeds from a sale of Sunwood Village Apartments, if it were subsequently sold.

Litigation Against Former General Partner

On November 9, 2005, the Partnership filed Case No. 05CV08810 in the District Court of Johnson County, Kansas, alleging that the Partnership’s former general partner, James R. Hoyt, failed to make the first required payment on a promissory note Mr. Hoyt signed in order to repay $2,500,000 that he owes to the Partnership. This litigation was settled in January 2007. Pursuant to the settlement, Mr. Hoyt agreed to have judgment entered in the Partnership’s favor in the amount of $2,750,000, and to pay $100,000 to the Partnership in cash immediately. As part of the settlement, Mr. Hoyt has provided information regarding his assets and income that, if true, indicates that the Partnership is unlikely to be able to collect any significant portion of the balance of the judgment. The settlement requires Mr. Hoyt to provide documents and to testify under oath regarding his financial situation, and provides the Partnership with a year to investigate further in order to attempt to verify such information. If Mr. Hoyt misrepresented his financial condition, the Partnership will be entitled to attempt to collect the balance of the judgment. Otherwise, the judgment will be discharged at the end of such time. The general partner believes the settlement is more favorable to the Partnership than what the Partnership would likely have been able to achieve through contested litigation. The Partnership does not believe that the ultimate outcome of this litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

There are no other pending or outstanding litigation matters involving the Partnership or its properties, other than matters of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.

Item 4.

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No established trading market for the Units exists, nor is one expected to develop.

 

 

 

Title of Class

Number of Unitholders of Record

Limited Partnership Units

1,658 as of December 31, 2006

 

There were 53,661 Units outstanding at December 31, 2006, of which the General Partner and an affiliate owned 18,854 Units or approximately 35.14%.

The Partnership made no distributions to its limited partners during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

The Partnership made an odd lot offer of redemption during the first half of 2007 as a result of which approximately 6,000 Units were cancelled in the first half of 2007 and as a further result the General Partner and an affiliate currently own 39.87% of the Units outstanding.

Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from operations, and the timing of debt maturities, refinancings, and/or property sales. The Partnership’s cash available for distribution is reviewed on a periodic basis. There can be no assurance, however, that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations after required capital expenditures to permit additional distributions to its partners in the year 2007 or subsequent periods. See “Item 2. Capital Improvements” for information relating to anticipated capital expenditures at the properties.

A number of the Units owned by the General Partner and its affiliate were generally acquired pursuant to tender offers made by the General Partner or its affiliate. It is possible that General Partner or its affiliates will acquire additional Units, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner may have a conflict of interest because of its significant ownership interest in the Units.

This item should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other items contained elsewhere in this report.

The Partnership’s financial results depend upon a number of factors including the ability to attract and maintain tenants at the investment properties, interest rates on mortgage loans, costs incurred to operate the investment properties, general economic conditions and weather. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses. As part of this plan, the General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, the General Partner may use rental concessions and rental rate reductions to offset softening market conditions, accordingly, there is no guarantee that the General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. Further, a number of factors that are outside the control of the Partnership such as the local economic climate and weather can adversely or positively affect the Partnership’s financial results.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The Partnership’s net loss was approximately $1,378,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $3,685,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to the Partnership writing off a receivable due from the former general partner in 2005 in the amount of $2,842,922.

Total expenses, excluding the previously-described write-off of the receivable due from the former general partner, increased for the year ended December 31, 2006. Operating expenses increased due to increases in depreciation and amortization, employment costs, contract services, property management fees and insurance expenses. Amortization increased due to the write-off of deferred loan costs on the refinancing of debt in the Oak Terrace and Bayberry properties. Property management fees rose because of an increase in rental income. Other expense increases were caused by the acquisition of Cascade Apartments.

Total revenue increased due to rises in rental and other income, and the acquisition of Cascade Apartments. Rental income rose due to increases in average rental rates at all properties and an increase in occupancy in two of the four properties.

Included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are management reimbursements to the General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement. Also included in general and administrative expenses for both periods are costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with the investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the partnership agreement.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

At December 31, 2006, the Partnership and it subsidiaries had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,953,000 compared to approximately $423,000 at December 31, 2005. Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $1,530,000 since December 31, 2005 due to approximately $686,000 of cash provided by financing activities and cash provided by operating activities of approximately $837,000 The refinancing of the debt on Oak Terrace Community and the Bayberry Shopping Center generated approximately $1,120,000 in funds together with contributing to the reduction in restricted cash balances of approximately $827,000 and loan cost payments associated with the refinancings was approximately $264,000 and debt repayments were approximately $170,000. Cash used in investing activities consisted mainly of the purchase of property, plant and equipment.

The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital expenditures required at the various properties to adequately maintain the physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership and to comply with Federal, state, and local legal and regulatory requirements. The General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance. For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 mandates or suggests additional compliance measures with regard to governance, disclosure, audit and other areas. In light of these changes, the Partnership expects that it will incur higher expenses related to compliance. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the properties. The Partnership has no other material commitments for property improvements and replacements, however certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2007. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the properties as well as replacement reserves and cash flow generated by the properties. Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, Partnership reserves or refinancing proceeds. To the extent that capital improvements are completed, the Partnership’s distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.

The Partnership’s assets are thought to be generally sufficient for any near-term needs (exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering the Partnership’s investment properties is approximately $24,055,000. Of such amounts, $9,402,000 matured in 2006 and balloon payments of approximately $9,500,000 and $4,685,448 are due in 2012, and 2016, respectively. The General Partner will attempt to refinance such indebtedness and/or sell the properties prior to such maturity dates. If a property cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Partnership will risk losing such property through foreclosure. As has been previously described, Sunwood Village has filed for bankruptcy reorganization, occasioned by the maturity of

the mortgage loan on the Sunwood property at the same time Sunwood is effectively prevented from selling or refinancing the property because of the lis pendens recorded by Mega Ventures against the property relating to the litigation over their attempt to purchase the property. See Item 3 “Legal Proceedings”. The Partnership believes that when such litigation and the resultant bankruptcy are concluded, Sunwood will have sufficient assets to either refinance its mortgage encumbrances or to sell the property and pay off such mortgage encumbrances.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

A summary of the Partnership’s significant accounting policies is included in “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements included in “Item 7. Financial Statements”. The General Partner believes that the consistent application of these policies enables the Partnership to provide readers of the consolidated financial statements with useful and reliable information about the Partnership’s operating results and financial condition. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Judgments and assessments of uncertainties are required in applying the Partnership’s accounting policies in many areas. As previously described, the General Partner may not have been capable of independently verifying the accuracy of certain information it has for the Partnership prior to the current General Partner being installed in March 2005. Such inability to account for the accuracy of prior Partnership data which may also impact the General Partner’s ability to make certain judgments and assessments of uncertainties. The Partnership believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Investment properties are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property may not be recoverable, the Partnership will make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to the Partnership’s estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property.  If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, the Partnership would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property.

 

Real property investment is subject to varying degrees of risk. Several factors may adversely affect the economic performance and value of the Partnership’s investment properties. These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic climate; competition from other apartment communities and other housing options; competition from other commercial retail space providers; local conditions, such as loss of jobs or an increase in the supply of apartments that might adversely affect apartment occupancy or rental rates; changes in governmental regulations and the related cost of compliance; increases in operating costs (including real estate taxes) due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset by increased rents; and changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multi-family housing or commercial retail space. Any adverse changes in these factors could cause impairment of the Partnership’s assets.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less and commercial retail space for a term averaging sixty months. The Partnership may adjust rents during particularly slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area. Rental income attributable to leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Partnership considers all accounts receivable from residents as uncollectible and establishes an allowance in the full amount of the receivable.

Secured Investment Resources Fund, L.P. II

Pasadena, California

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Secured Investment Resources Fund, L.P. II as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners’ capital (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Secured Investment Resources Fund, L.P. II as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

 

a.

Organization – Secured Investment Resources Fund, L.P. II (the “Partnership) operates real estate investment partnerships that rent multi-family residential housing and commercial shopping center space. The Partnership consists of the following:

Secured Investment Resources Fund, L.P. II, (“SIR”) represents the headquarters for the Partnership and is located in Pasadena, California. Effective March 2005, the Partnership changed general partners to Millenium Management, LLC (“General Partner”) a California limited liability company.

 

b.

Reorganization Bayberry was formed March 21, 2006 for the purpose of spinning off the Bayberry real estate, and related assets and liabilities, which were previously held in the SIR limited partnership. The spin-off was made at net book value, and has no effect on the consolidated financial statements. After the spin-off, the Partnership’s relationship consisted of partnership management activities.

 

c.

Allocation of profits, gains and losses – Profits, gains and losses of the Partnership are allocated between general and limited partners in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement.

 

d.

Use of estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

e.

Cash and cash equivalents – For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Partnership considers all highly liquid cash investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

f.

Restricted cash – Restricted cash consists of escrow accounts for taxes, insurance and replacement costs. These costs are expected to be incurred and paid within 12 months.

 

g.

Accounts receivable – The Partnership reviews their tenant accounts on a periodic basis and records a reserve for specific amounts that management feels may not be collected. In addition, the Partnership has established a general reserve for potential uncollectible accounts based on historical bad debts. Past due status is determined based upon contractual terms. Amounts are written off at the point when collection attempts on the accounts have been exhausted. Management uses significant judgment in estimating uncollectible amounts. In estimating uncollectible amounts, management considers factors such as current overall economic conditions, industry-specific economic conditions, historical customer performance and anticipated customer performance. While management believes the Partnership’s processes effectively address its exposure to doubtful accounts, changes in economic, industry or specific customer conditions may require adjustment to the allowance recorded by the Partnership.

 

h.

Property – Property is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The costs of repairs and maintenance that do not improve or extend asset lives are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided primarily by the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which are as follows:

The Partnership recognized amortization expense of $599,537 for the year ended December 31, 2006 due to the write-off of loan costs on mortgages that were refinanced.

 

Prepaid commissions, included in other assets, are recorded at cost and amortized over the life of the lease and are stated at $73,187 and $88,323, net of accumulated amortization of $220,359 and $200,350, at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

j.

Long-lived assets – The Partnership reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment whenever triggering events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of any asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets.

 

During 2006, Sunwood filed for a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code as more fully described in Note 9. Management reviewed the assets held by Sunwood for impairment and determined that the fair value of the assets exceeded the claims filed with the court. Based on management’s estimates, these consolidated financial statements do not reflect an adjustment to the basis of the assets held by Sunwood at December 31, 2006. No triggering events or changes in circumstances were identified by management for the year ended December 31, 2005.

 

 

k.

Income taxes – The Partnership is taxed as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Therefore, the results of operations of the Partnership are included in the individual partners’ tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes related to operations has been made for the in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

 

20

 


 

l.

Revenue recognition – The Partnership recognizes revenue from real estate lease agreements as operating leases, and rentals from such leases are reported as revenue on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases.

Other property income includes concessions, application fees, damage charges and late fees.

 

m.

Deferred revenue – Rent received in advance is reported as a liability and recognized as income in the month the rent is due.

 

n.

Security deposits – The Partnership requires security deposits from lessees for the duration of the lease. Deposits are refunded when the tenant vacates, provided the tenant has not damaged the space and is current on rental payments.

 

o.

Fair value – The carrying amounts of long-term debt and other receivables approximate fair value as current interest rates approximates those currently available for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities from the Partnership’s creditors.

 

p.

Advertising – The Partnership expenses advertising as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $87,640 and $81,320, respectively.

 

q.

New accounting pronouncements – In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” This statement replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. The implementation of this pronouncement did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements in the current year.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Partnership’s management does not anticipate that this pronouncement will have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effect of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB No. 108 requires that registrants quantify errors using both a consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of income approach and evaluate whether either approach results in a misstated amount that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB No. 108 is effective for the Partnership in fiscal 2006 and did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Partnership has not yet determined whether it will elect the fair value option for any of its financial instruments.

2.

Notes Receivable

On March 3, 2005, the Partnership accepted a promissory note from the former general partner initially set at $2,500,000 payable over 10 years at prime plus 1%. The former general partner defaulted on the first payment and an

 

 

21

 


action was filed against the former general partner and related companies. During 2005 the Partnership deemed the note and all other receivables, including accrued interest, to be uncollectible and the outstanding balance due the Partnership of $2,842,922 was written off. At the date this determination was made the Partnership discontinued accruing interest.

3.

Foreclosure

 

On August 1, 2006, a Full Recourse Promissory Note (the “Note”) was entered into between Secured Investment Resources Fund, L.P. (“SIR I”) and the Partnership regarding the aggregate amount of $999,656 then owed to the Partnership by SIR I.

 

The Note provided SIR I with the time and opportunity to try to sell its property in order to repay the Note and was due and payable on September 30, 2006, unless SIR I entered into or was negotiating a contract to sell its property.

 

By October 1, 2006, SIR I had done neither and had not made the required payment of principal and interest called for by the Note and had thus defaulted on the payment of both the principal and interest due on the Note. The Partnership exercised its remedies in respect to the collateral of the Note, acquiring SIR I’s 100% interest in Cascade, the limited partnership that owns Cascade Apartments. SIR I consented to this action in full satisfaction of its obligations to the Partnership.

 

4.

Minority Interest – Class A Limited Partners (Sunwood)

 

A dispute arose between Sunwood and the lender regarding the amount owed on the mortgage. Sunwood and the lender entered into a settlement agreement dated June 6, 2005 whereby Sunwood agreed to pay the lender a settlement payment of $800,000. A new class of partners, “Class A Limited Partners,” was created and the Partnership received $801,000 in June 2005 of which $401,000 was received from related parties. These funds were used as the settlement payment to the lender. The Class A Limited Partners have no voting rights and are not allocated operating income and losses of the Partnership, except an allocation of income equal to any distributions received that are not a return of capital.

 

The Class A Limited Partners accrue a cumulative preferred return at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum compounded monthly on the outstanding balance. The cumulative preferred return payments are allowed if there is cash available for distributions from operations, on a quarterly basis, which is defined as net cash realized after all operating expenses, fees to General Partner, management fees, debt payments and reasonable cash reserves determined by the General Partner. The cumulative preferred return on those instruments will not be recorded until such time as it is evident Sunwood will disburse the funds.

 

Preferred return payments from cash available as a result of a sale or refinancing the mortgage debt are available for distributions in the following order:

 

1.

Accrued preferred return to Class A Limited Partners

2.

Repay the capital contributed by Class A Limited Partners.

3.

The greater of 50% of the capital contributed by Class A Limited
Partners or twenty-five percent (25%) of the remaining cash available
from the sale or refinancing.

The Partnership has no employees and depends on the General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for (i) certain payments to affiliates for services and (ii) reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.

 

No affiliate of the General Partner receives any compensation from the Partnership for providing management services.

 

The Partnership carries insurance (where applicable) for property/excess property risks, boiler and machinery risks, earthquake, and general/access liability through insurance policies obtained by Everest Properties II, LLC (“Everest”), an affiliate of the General Partner, from insurers unaffiliated with the General Partner. The Partnership paid directly to AON, an insurance broker engaged by Everest, $139,701 and $103,594 for its insurance coverage for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These payments reflect coverage for the Partnership for the periods from May 1, 2005 to April 30, 2007.

 

7.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

At December 31, 2006 and 2005 and at various times throughout these years, the Partnership maintained cash balances with certain financial institutions in excess of the federal deposit insurance limit. This risk is managed by maintaining all deposits in sound financial institutions.

 

8.

Cash Distributions

 

No cash distributions have been made since October 1998. Future distributions will only be made from excess cash flow exceeding working capital reserves.

 

9.

Bankruptcy Protection

 

On September 12, 2006, Sunwood filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The filing was made as Sunwood’s mortgage matured in August 2006 with a lis pendens filed upon the property to prevent a sale or refinancing. Under Chapter 11, Sunwood will act as debtor-in-possession under court protection from their creditors and claimants, while using the Chapter 11 process to allow Sunwood to sell or refinance the real estate. Claims filed with the court are as follows:

 

 

Schedule D secured claims

 

$

9,576,786

 

Schedule F unsecured claims

 

 

87,889

 

Total claims

Contingencies

 

Environmental

 

Various federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal and remediation, of certain hazardous substances present on a property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of the hazardous substances. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, hazardous substances may adversely affect occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies, and potential fines or penalties imposed by such agencies in connection therewith, the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in claims by private plaintiffs for personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities. Various laws also impose liability for the cost of removal, remediation or disposal of hazardous substances through a licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances is potentially liable under such laws. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of properties, the Partnership could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with their properties or properties the Partnership acquires or manages in the future.

 

Management is not aware of any environmental liabilities.

 

Mold

 

The Partnership has not been named as a defendant in any lawsuits that have alleged personal injury and property damage as a result of the presence of mold. However, we are aware of lawsuits against owners and managers of other multi-family properties asserting claims of personal injury and property damage caused by the presence of mold, some of which have resulted in substantial monetary judgments or settlements. We do not have insurance coverage for property damage loss claims specifically arising from the presence of mold and for personal injury claims related to mold exposure. We believe our current policies and procedures will prevent or eliminate mold exposure from our properties and will minimize the effects that mold may have on our residents. To date, we have not incurred any material costs or liabilities relating to claims of mold exposure or to abate mold conditions.

 

Litigation

 

Sunwood Village Litigation

 

On March 8, 2005, Mega Ventures, LLC filed Case No. A500656 in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada to enforce an alleged agreement to sell the Sunwood Village Apartments. The Partnership believes that the agreement was terminated or is otherwise not enforceable and that it is in the best interest of the Partnership not to allow a sale of Sunwood Village for the price in the disputed agreement. The outcome of this litigation cannot be predicted; however, if Mega prevails in enforcing the alleged agreement or receiving a substantial award of damages, then the Partnership may not be able to realize any significant net proceeds from a sale of the Sunwood Village Apartments after repayment of outstanding obligations. If Sunwood JV prevails, then the Partnership would expect to realize significant proceeds from a sale of Sunwood Village Apartments, if it were subsequently sold.

 

Litigation Against Former General Partner

 

On November 9, 2005, the Partnership filed Case No. 05CV08810 in the District Court of Johnson County, Kansas, alleging that the Partnership’s former general partner, James R. Hoyt, failed to make the first required payment on a promissory note Mr. Hoyt signed in order to repay $2,500,000 that he owes to the Partnership. This litigation was settled in January 2007. Pursuant to the settlement, Mr. Hoyt agreed to have judgment entered in the Partnership’s favor in the amount of $2,750,000, and to pay $100,000 to the Partnership in cash immediately. As part of the settlement, Mr. Hoyt has provided information regarding his assets and

 

 

25

 


income that, if true, indicates that the Partnership is unlikely to be able to collect any significant portion of the balance of the judgment. The settlement requires Mr. Hoyt to provide documents and to testify under oath regarding his financial situation, and provides the Partnership with a year to investigate further in order to attempt to verify such information. If Mr. Hoyt misrepresented his financial condition, the Partnership will be entitled to attempt to collect the balance of the judgment. Otherwise, the judgment will be discharged at the end of such time. The general partner believes the settlement is more favorable to the Partnership than what the Partnership would likely have been able to achieve through contested litigation. The Partnership does not believe that the ultimate outcome of this litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The entire receivable was reserved as of December 31, 2004 and written off against the reserve during 2005.

 

There are no other pending or outstanding litigation matters involving the Partnership or its properties, other than matters of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.

 

Sunwood Bankruptcy

 

On September 12, 2006, Sunwood filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as more fully described in Note 9. .

 

11.

Capital Resources

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Partnership as a going concern. However, the Partnership has incurred losses in recent years and has negative capital.

 

In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Partnership, which in turn is dependent upon the Partnership’s ability to meet its financing requirements, and the success of its future operations. Management anticipates that positive operating cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2007, along with cash balances of approximately $2 million at December 31, 2006, provide the Partnership with the ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Item 8.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

None.

 

 

(a)

Controls and Procedures

 

(a)        Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures had material weaknesses in that the Partnership did not have sufficient financial and human resources available and allocated to preparation of consolidated financial statements, required disclosures and reports, and independent audit requirements, resulting in an inability to make such financial statements, disclosures and reports available on a timely basis and meet public reporting deadlines. Management believes that it is remediating the foregoing weaknesses by obtaining and allocating the necessary financial and human resources, obtaining the independent audit required for this report on Form 10KSB, and engaging independent auditors on an ongoing basis.

 

 

26

 


(b)        Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

department. Mr. Davis holds a Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School and a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from the University of California, Berkeley.

 

Peter J. Wilkinson. Mr. Wilkinson is a Vice President and the Chief Financial Officer of Everest, which he joined in 1996 and of Millenium since its establishment in 1998. He is an accountant by profession. From 1981 through 1987, he worked for Deloitte Haskins and Sells and Coopers and Lybrand in London and Sydney in their audit divisions, gaining significant experience in a variety of industry segments.

Mr. Kohorst is also a director of a Maxus Realty Trust, Inc., a real estate investment trust which has a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13 or 15(d) of such Act.

 

The Partnership’s General Partner is managed by Everest II and as such does not have a board of directors nor a separate audit committee; nor does Everest II. However, the executive officers of the General Partner have determined that Peter Wilkinson meets the requirement of an “audit committee financial expert” but is not independent of management of the General Partner.

 

The officers of the General Partner with authority over the Partnership are officers of Everest II. Additionally, all are also the officers of Everest, of which Mr. Kohorst beneficially owns, through the Kohorst Family Trust, 83.48% and Mr. Lesser owns 13.56%. Everest in turn owns 85% of Everest II. Neither the Partnership, Everest nor Everest II has adopted a code of ethics that applies to such officers.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Messrs. Kohorst, Lesser, Davis and Wilkinson each failed to file a report on Form 3 on a timely basis when Millenium became the general partner of the partnership in March 2005.

 

Millenium failed to file a Form 3 on June 28, 2005, when, pursuant to a registered tender offer, Millenium had acquired more than 10% of the outstanding units of the Partnership. Since such date, Millenium has failed to file reports on Form 4 for forty-one purchase transactions for which reports were required.

 

Item 10.

Executive Compensation

 

None of the officers of the General Partner received any remuneration from the Partnership during the year ended December 31, 2006.

Item 12.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

 

The Partnership has no employees and depends on the General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for certain payments to affiliates for services and for reimbursements of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.

 

 

29

 


 

In accordance with the terms of the solicitation that was made to, and passed by a majority of, limited partners of the Partnership to remove the prior general partner, the Partnership reimbursed affiliates of the current general partner the costs of making that solicitation. The cost of such solicitation and the amount paid for such solicitation by the Partnership in calendar 2005 was approximately $145,000.

 

Affiliates of the General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of investor services expenses amounting to approximately $7,000 and $0 and management services amounting to approximately $37,000 and $24,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These reimbursements are included in general and administrative expenses.

 

Both the General Partner and its affiliate owned Units in the Partnership representing 35.14% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2006. A number of these Units were generally acquired pursuant to tender offers made by the General Partner or its affiliate. It is possible that the General Partner or its affiliates will acquire additional Units, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner may have a conflict of interest because of its significant ownership interest in the Units.

 

Neither the Registrant, the General Partner nor the General Partner’s managing company have directors. The executive officers of the General Partner and the General Partner’s managing company are the same and therefore they do not act in an independent capacity as would qualify them as independent under the independence standards established for New York Stock Exchange listed companies.

the Partnership, they may do so by filing for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association within thirty (30) days from the date the General Partner is removed.

The decision of two of the three arbitrators shall be binding on both parties. The cost of arbitration (not including the parties’ attorneys’ fees) shall be borne by the Partnership. In rendering their decision, the arbitrators shall determine whether the alleged facts justify removal of the General Partner for cause, and, if so, the extent, if any, to which the interest of the General Partner in the asset management fees or other fees shall be reduced. The arbitrator shall take into consideration, among other things, the length of time the General Partner has served the Partnership, the extent of any default in any obligation of performance, or representation, made or imposed upon the General Partner under this Agreement, the General Partner’s efforts and accomplishments on behalf of the Partnership, the nature, severity and extent of the default, dereliction or impairment by the General Partner, the amount of the resulting damages to the Partnership, any mitigating circumstances, and the amount of the interest of the General Partner which may be assigned to a successor General Partner if elected by the Limited Partners, as adequate compensation for such General Partner succeeding to the duties and obligations of the removed General Partner. The arbitration shall be limited to consideration of whether cause (as defined above) existed for removal of the General Partner and whether adjustments, if any, should be made to General Partner’s asset management fees or other fees. The arbitration shall be binding on all parties.

 

7.3       Replacement. Upon the resignation or removal of the General Partner, a new General Partner may be elected by approval of a Majority in Interest.

Each of the Partners and any of their partners, shareholders, members, Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and assigns, shall not be liable for, and shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless by the Partnership (to the extent of the Partnership’s assets) from, any loss or damage incurred by them, the Partnership or the Partners in connection with the business of the Partnership in their capacity as Partners other than any loss of their Capital Contributions, including costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and any amounts expended in the settlement of any claims of loss or damage resulting from any act or omission performed or omitted in good faith, which shall not include a Liability Event with respect to such Partner or its Affiliates.

9.2       Conversion to Economic Interest. Upon the occurrence of any event that would cause a person to cease to be a Partner under this Agreement or the Act, the withdrawing Partner’s Partnership Interest shall be converted into an Economic Interest which will entitle such Partner to its share of Net Income, Net Loss and Distributions in accordance with this Agreement, but no voting or other rights with respect to management or operation of the Partnership other than those granted to any Assignee.

3.3 Initial Financing. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 11 of this Partnership Agreement, during that portion of the term of the Partnership after the Close of the Offering Date, the Partnership may obtain initial financing on any Partnership Property purchased for all or substantially all cash (over 75% of the purchase price consists of cash), and all proceeds therefrom may be reinvested by the Partnership.

(a)       Cause for removal shall occur if at any time the General Partner has committed or suffered a Liability Event or an Event of Insolvency.

 

(b)       The electing Limited Partners shall give notice to the General Partner of their intention to remove the General Partner for any of the reasons stated in subparagraph (a), which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the grounds for the removal. Within ten (10) business days from the date the notice of intention to remove is

 


given, the General Partner shall cure or rectify the default, dereliction or impairment that was stated as the ground(s) for the intended removal and shall certify to the Limited Partners in writing that the default, dereliction or impairment has been cured or rectified. If the default, dereliction or impairment has not been cured or rectified and written certification of cure or rectification has not been given to the Limited Partners within ten (10) business days, then the Limited Partners may remove the General Partner immediately, effective automatically upon receipt by the General Partner of notice from such Limited Partners. If the Limited Partners seek to adjust the asset management fees or any other fees due to the General Partner, including fees relating to future activities of the Partnership, they may do so by filing for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association within thirty (30) days from the date the General Partner is removed.

The decision of two of the three arbitrators shall be binding on both parties. The cost of arbitration (not including the parties’ attorneys’ fees) shall be borne by the Partnership. In rendering their decision, the arbitrators shall determine whether the alleged facts justify removal of the General Partner for cause, and, if so, the extent, if any, to which the interest of the General Partner in the asset management fees or other fees shall be reduced. The arbitrator shall take into consideration, among other things, the length of time the General Partner has served the Partnership, the extent of any default in any obligation of performance, or representation, made or imposed upon the General Partner under this Agreement, the General Partner’s efforts and accomplishments on behalf of the Partnership, the nature, severity and extent of the default, dereliction or impairment by the General Partner, the amount of the resulting damages to the Partnership, any mitigating circumstances, and the amount of the interest of the General Partner which may be assigned to a successor General Partner if elected by the Limited Partners, as adequate compensation for such General Partner succeeding to the duties and obligations of the removed General Partner. The arbitration shall be limited to consideration of whether cause (as defined above) existed for removal of the General Partner and whether adjustments, if any, should be made to General Partner’s asset management fees or other fees. The arbitration shall be binding on all parties.

4.3      SIR-2 Limited Partner. “Limited Partner” or “Limited Partners” in the Sunwood LPA (including provisions incorporated by reference) refers to SIR-2 only.

 

 

5.

Allocation of Tax Items.

 

5.1      Income and Loss Allocations. Each Class A Limited Partner shall receive an allocation of income in each fiscal year equal to the amount of cash distributions received from the Partnership that are not a return of their Capital Contribution. All other allocations of income and loss, including any allocations necessary to offset the allocations made to the Class A Limited Partners, shall be made to the Limited Partner.

 

5.2      Allocation of Partnership Items. Whenever a proportionate part of income or loss is allocated to a Partner, every item of income, gain, loss or

5.3      Assignment. Except to the extent the Code requires otherwise, in the event of the assignment of an interest in the Partnership, the income and loss arising from other than a sale or refinancing of Property shall be apportioned as between the assigning Partner and his assignee based upon the number of months of their respective ownership during the year in which the assignment occurs, without regard to the results of the Partnership’s operations during the period before or after such assignment, and income, loss and distributions from a sale or refinancing of the Property will be allocated among the Partners as of the date of any such transaction.

 

5.4      Provisions of Regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, allocations required to be made under the regulations under Code Section 704 shall be made as required therein, including allocations constituting qualified income offsets and minimum gain chargebacks.

 

 

6.

Distributions/Expenses.

 

6.1      Cash Available For Distribution from Operations. Cash Available for Distribution from Operations shall be distributed in the following order of priority: (a) first, to pay a ten percent (10%) per annum, compounded monthly, cumulative, preferred return on the Settlement Capital Contribution to the Class A Limited Partners (the “Class A Preferred Return”), pro rata based on their respective Capital Contributions; and (b) second, to the Limited Partner, if the Class A Preferred Return is fully paid through the date of distribution.

 

6.2      Cash Available For Distribution from Sale or Refinancings. Cash Available for Distribution from Sale or Refinancings shall be distributed in the following order of priority: (a) first, to pay in full any amount due on the Class A Preferred Return through the date of the sale or refinancing event; (b) second, to repay to the Class A Limited Partners their respective portion of the Settlement Capital Contribution; (c) third, to pay the Class A Limited Partners, pro rata based on their respective Capital Contributions, an amount equal to the greater of (i) fifty percent (50%) of the Settlement Capital Contribution, and (ii) 25% of the remaining Cash Available for Distribution from Sale or Refinancings; and (d) fourth, to the Limited Partner.

 

6.3       Definitions. “Cash Available for Distribution from Operations” means the net cash realized by the Partnership from all sources other than capital contributions or sale or refinancing proceeds, calculated on a calendar-quarter basis, after payment of all cash expenditures of the Partnership, including but not limited to operating expenses, all fees and costs payable to the General Partner or affiliates, all

This PROPERTY/MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is dated as of March 15, 2005 between SECURED INVESTMENT RESOURCES FUND, L.P. II, a Delaware limited partnership (“Owner”), and WINBURY REALTY OF K.C., INC., a Missouri corporation (“Manager”).

 

Owner owns the retail shopping center commonly known as Bayberry Crossing, located at 523 SE Melody Lane, Lee’s Summit, MO 64063 (the “Property”). Owner desires to engage Manager, and Manager desires to accept such engagement, to manage, lease, operate, and maintain the Property on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

 

THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE 1. COMMENCEMENT AND TERM

 

1.1      Commencement and Term. Manager’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement shall begin on the date hereof (the “Start Date”) and shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the conveyance of the Property or any portion thereof, as to such conveyed portion thereof only, or (ii) termination as provided in Article 10.

 

ARTICLE 2. MANAGER’S RESPONSIBILITIES

 

2.1      Management. Manager shall manage, operate and maintain the Property in an efficient and economic manner and shall arrange the performance of everything reasonably necessary to accomplish the foregoing, subject to the budgets, policies and limitations provided to Manager in writing by Owner from time to time. Manager shall keep the Property clean and in good repair, shall promptly order and supervise the completion of such repairs as may be required and shall generally do and perform, or cause to be done or performed, all things necessary or desirable to ensure the proper and efficient management, operation, and maintenance of the Property. Manager shall perform all services in a diligent and professional manner. Additionally, Manager shall upon Owner’s request cooperate with any proposed purchaser of the Property, any proposed lender evaluating the Property as collateral or any broker named by Owner in connection with a sale or financing of the Property. Manager is hereby authorized to take any action with respect to the Property which Manager believes in good faith is necessary for Manager to comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to Manager, as a licensed real estate broker or otherwise, and, when possible, Manager agrees to provide advance notice to and consult with Owner about any such action that has not been previously authorized. Manager shall exercise reasonable efforts to comply with all directions or instructions from Owner pertaining to the Property.

 


2.2      Employees; Independent Contractor. All arrangements and agreements with employees or independent contractors working at the Property shall confirm that Owner has no obligation or relationship with respect to such employees or independent contractors. Manager shall comply with all applicable governmental requirements relating to worker’s compensation, liability insurance, Social Security, unemployment insurance, hours of labor, wages, working conditions, employment discrimination, and other employer-employee related matters and shall prepare and file all forms required in connection therewith. Manager shall obtain coverage of all employees who handle funds of Owner by fidelity bond or under a comprehensive crime insurance policy, each in amounts required by Owner and indemnifying Owner against loss, theft, embezzlement, or other fraudulent acts of Manager or its employees. Manager shall employ, directly or through third party contractors (e.g., an employee leasing company) all labor and employees required for the operation and maintenance of the property, it being agreed that all employees shall be deemed employees of Manager and not Owner. Owner’s insurance policies required hereunder shall not cover and the Owner shall not be liable for any wrong doing by Manager’s employees, any claims, costs, damages and liabilities, including but not limited to the defense of any claim or lawsuit arising out of the employment of any of the Manager’s employees. All approved costs and expenses associated with such employees (including, without limitation, wages and benefits) shall be costs of, billed to, and reimbursed by the Property.

 

2.3      Compliance with Laws. Manager shall comply with all governmental requirements relative to the performance of its duties hereunder and shall use diligent efforts to cause the Property to comply with all applicable governmental requirements.

 

(a)    Owner represents that it has no knowledge of any violations existing at or prior to the Start Date of any ordinances, laws, rules, regulations or orders (including, but not limited to, those relating to the disposal of solid, liquid and gaseous wastes or materials) of any city, county, state or federal government, or any public authority or official thereof, or of any court, having jurisdiction over it.

 

(b)    Except to the extent any existing violations resulted from the acts or omissions of Manager, Manager shall not have any responsibility or liability for violations existing at or prior to the Start Date of any ordinances, laws, rules, regulations or orders (including, but not limited to, those relating to the disposal of solid, liquid and gaseous wastes or materials) of any city, county, state or federal government, or any public authority or official thereof, or of any court, having jurisdiction over it, except to: (i) notify Owner promptly of any existing violations actually discovered by Manager: (ii) forward to Owner promptly any complaints, warning, notices or summonses received by it relating to such matters; and (iii) use diligent efforts to cure any such existing violations.

 


(c)    Manager shall have responsibility and, to the extent of its or its agents’ acts or omissions, liability for compliance of the Property and any of its equipment with the requirements of any and all ordinances, laws, rules, regulations or orders (including, but not limited to, those relating to the disposal of solid, liquid and gaseous wastes or materials) of any city, county, state or federal government, or any public authority or official thereof, or of any court, having jurisdiction over it on a going forward basis. Manager shall notify Owner promptly, and forward to Owner promptly, any complaints, warnings, notices or summonses received by it relating to such matters, and shall use diligent efforts to cure any violation relating to such complaints, warnings, notices or summonses.

 

(d)    Owner: (i) represents that the Property has not received any notice regarding non-compliance with all applicable legal requirements; (ii) authorizes Manager to disclose the ownership of the Property to any such officials; and (iii) agrees to indemnify, defend and save Manager, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, representatives and employees harmless from any and all losses, costs, damages, claims, fines, penalties, expenses and liabilities which may be imposed upon or threatened against any of them by reason of any current or future violation or alleged violation of such laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, or orders, or in connection with any bills or charges unpaid by Owner except for any violations resulting from the acts or omissions of any such indemnified party.

 

(e)    Manager shall furnish to Owner no later than the end of the third (31d) business day after receipt by Manager each notice or order affecting the Property, including, without limitation, any notice from any taxing or other governmental authority, any notice of violation of any governmental requirement by the Property or Owner, any notice of default or otherwise from the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust, or any notice of renewal, termination or cancellation of or default under any insurance policy. Manager shall not take any action regarding such notice, order or requirement, however, as long as Owner is contesting or has notified Manager of its intention to contest such notice, order or requirement.

 

2.4      Approved Budget. (a) An initial annual capital and operating budget on a monthly basis for the projected revenue and the promotion, operation, staffing, repair, maintenance and improvement of the Property is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Such budget as amended by Owner from time to time and each subsequent annual budget as approved and amended from time to time by Owner is referred to herein as the Approved Budget. Owner may amend prospectively such Approved Budget at any time in its good faith discretion upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Manager. Manager shall promptly provide Owner with such information and explanation as may be, from time to time, requested by Owner in order to monitor compliance with or evaluate changes to such Approved Budget. Any staff changes, including salary, hourly compensation levels, and bonus plans must be approved in writing by Owner.

 


(b)    Manager shall charge all expenses to the proper account as specified in a list of accounts theretofore approved by Owner. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.7, Manager shall obtain Owner’s prior approval for any expenditure that exceeds the applicable amount in the Approved Budget unless: (i) the amount over budget does not exceed: (A) Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250), and (B) Five percent (5%) of the annual applicable amount in the Approved Budget, and (ii) is, in the Manager’s reasonable judgment, required for the operation of the Property.

 

(c)    During each calendar year, Manager shall inform Owner of any increases or decreases in costs and expenses not included in the Approved Budget as soon as Manager becomes aware of such changes.

 

2.5      Leasing. (a) Manager shall have the exclusive authority to negotiate and execute all leases and lease renewals for the Property and to advertise the availability for rental of the Property or any part thereof, and to display signs thereon, using a standard lease form approved by Owner. All leases are subject to prior review and approval by Owner, in its sole discretion. Manager shall not give free rental or discounts or rent concessions except in accordance with specific discretion or promotions approved in writing by Owner or with the prior written approval of Owner.

 

(b)    Manager shall not, without the prior written approval of Owner, give or continue any free rent or discounts or rental concessions to any employees, representatives or affiliates of Manager or anyone related to such employees, representatives or affiliates. Manager shall not lease any space in the Property to itself or to any of its employees, representatives or affiliates, without the prior written consent of Owner.

 

(c)    Manager shall investigate all prospective tenants in accordance with credit standards approved by Owner, and shall not rent to persons not meeting such standards. If requested by Owner, Manager shall obtain a credit check for all prospective tenants from a credit investigation service approved by Owner, and shall reasonably investigate and document references with respect to income verification and prior rental history. Manager shall retain such information for the duration of the tenancy, and shall make it available to Owner upon reasonable notice. At the request of Owner, Manager shall obtain a personal or other guaranty regarding any prospective tenant. Manager does not guarantee the accuracy of any such information or the financial condition of any tenant.

 

(d)    Manager and Owner agree that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of persons on account of age, race, color, religion, creed, handicap, sex or national origin in the leasing or occupancy of the Property, nor shall Owner or Manager permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with respect to the selection, location, number or occupancy of tenants. In

 


addition, Manager shall comply with all applicable local, state, and Federal regulations regarding non-discrimination.

 

2.6      Collection of Rents and Other Income. Manager shall regularly bill all tenants and use its best efforts to collect all rent and other charges due and payable from all tenants or from others for services provided in connection with the Property.

Manager shall deposit promptly all monies so collected in the Operating Account.

 

2.7      Repairs and Maintenance. (a) Manager shall maintain the buildings, appurtenances and grounds of the Property, other than areas which are the responsibility of tenants, including, without limitation, all ordinary and extraordinary repairs, cleaning, painting, decorations and alterations including electrical, plumbing, carpentry, masonry, elevators and such other routine repairs as are necessary or reasonably appropriate in the course of maintenance of the Property (subject to the limitations of this Agreement). In cases of emergency, Manager may make expenditures for repairs in excess of Manager’s normal authority without prior approval of Owner, if Manager believes in good faith that such expenditures are immediately necessary to prevent damage or injury, to comply with a governmental requirement, or to avoid the suspension of any necessary service to the Property. Manager shall inform Owner of any such emergency as soon as reasonably practical, but no later than before the end of the next business day.

 

(b)    Manager shall take all reasonable precautions against fire, vandalism, burglary and trespass to the Property. Manager shall use reasonable diligence to require each tenant to comply with its obligations to maintain its respective leased premises pursuant to its lease.

 

2.8      Capital Expenditures. (a) The Approved Budget shall constitute authorization for Manager to make any budgeted capital expenditures; provided that the Manager follows the bid procedures prescribed below unless Owner specifically waives such bid procedures or approves a particular contract. All other capital expenditures shall be subject to written approval of Owner. Unless Owner specifically waives such requirements or approves a particular contract, Manager shall solicit competitive bids for capital expenditures or new or replacement equipment as follows: (a) Manager shall obtain a minimum of two (2) written bids for each purchase; (b) Manager shall solicit each bid according to a specification approved by Owner so that uniformity will exist in the bid quotes; (c) for capital expenditures where all bids exceed $5,000, Manager shall provide Owner with all bid responses accompanied by Manager’s recommendations as to the most acceptable bid (such recommendations shall be in writing if Manager advises acceptance of other than the lowest bidder); and (d) for capital expenditures where all bids exceed $5,000, Owner

 


may accept or reject any bid. Owner will promptly communicate to Manager its acceptance or rejection of bids.

(c)    Manager shall ensure and verify that, as required, each entity providing services to the Property holds a valid license in, and meets all the requirements of, the state, county, and/or municipality where the work is to be performed.

 

2.9      Service Contracts, Supplies and Equipment. In its capacity as agent for Owner, Manager is authorized to contract on behalf of Owner for electricity, gas, fuel, water, telephone, rubbish hauling and other services or such of them as Manager shall deem advisable. It is agreed that Manager shall execute such contracts expressly as agent for Owner, and Owner shall ratify and approve all such service contracts if requested by the Manager or service provider. Each such service contract shall (a) be in the name of Owner, (b) be assignable, at Owner’s option, to Owner’s designee, (c) be for a term not to exceed one (1) year, (d) be cancelable by Owner or Manager upon no more than 30 days’ written notice, for any reason or no reason at all, without fee or penalty, and (e) require that all contractors provide evidence of insurance as set forth in Section 3.3.

(b)    If this Agreement terminates for any reason, Manager, at Owner’s option, shall assign to Owner or its designee all of Manager’s interest in all service agreements pertaining to the Property.

 

(c)    Manager shall procure all janitorial and maintenance supplies, tools and equipment, restroom and toilet supplies, light bulbs, paints, and similar supplies necessary for the efficient and economical operation and maintenance of the Property. Such supplies and equipment shall be the property of Owner.

(d)    Manager shall use its best efforts to procure all goods, supplies or services at the lowest cost available from reputable sources in the metropolitan area where the Property is located. In making any contract or purchase hereunder, Manager shall use its best efforts to obtain favorable discounts for Owner and all discounts, rebates or commissions under any contract or purchase order made hereunder shall inure to the benefit of Owner. Manager shall make payments under any such contract or purchase order to enable Owner to take advantage of any such

 


discount. Manager shall not request or accept any compensation in any form for selecting or continuing to use a supplier of goods or services for the Property.

 

2.10    Taxes, Mortgages. Manager, unless otherwise requested, shall pay bills for real estate and personal property taxes, general and special real property assessments and other like charges which are or may become liens against the Property. Manager shall report such taxes or assessments to Owner in a timely fashion and obtain Owner’s approval prior to Manager’s payment thereof. Manager, if requested by Owner, will cooperate to prepare an application for correction of the assessed valuation (in cooperation with representatives of Owner) to be filed with the appropriate governmental agency. Manager shall pay, within the time required to obtain discounts, from funds provided by Owner or from the Operating Account, all utilities, real estate and personal property taxes, general and special real property assessments and other like charges and any lease, mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument, if any, affecting the Property.

ARTICLE 3. INSURANCE

 

3.1      Insurance. (a) Subject to Section 2.2, Owner, at its expense, will obtain and keep in force adequate insurance against physical damage (such as fire) and against liability for loss, damage or injury to property or persons which might arise out of the occupancy, management, operation or maintenance of the Property. The aggregate coverage for commercial general liability insurance maintained hereunder shall not be for less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). Owner shall include Manager as an additional insured in all liability insurance maintained with respect to the Property. Owner shall furnish to the Manager certificates evidencing the existence of such insurance.

 

(b)    In lieu of complying with Section 3.l(a) above, Owner may request that Manager maintain the insurance required under Section 3.l(a). If such a request is made by Owner, Manager shall use its best effort to comply with such request. If Manager obtains and maintains the requested insurance under Section 3.l(a), Owner shall reimburse Manager for actual cost of such insurance.

 

(c)    Manager shall advise Owner in writing and make recommendations with respect to the proper insurance coverage for the Property, taking into account the insurance requirements set forth in any mortgage on the Property, shall furnish such information as Owner may reasonably request to obtain insurance coverage and shall aid and cooperate in every reasonable way with respect to such insurance and any loss thereunder. Owner shall include in its hazard policy covering the Property all personal property, fixtures and equipment located thereon which are owned by Owner. Owner acknowledges that Manager is not a licensed insurance agent or insurance expert and will seek its own advice on the proper insurance for the Property. Owner shall not be required to cover Manager’s furniture, furnishings or fixtures situated at the Property, and each of Manager and Owner shall to the extent available, include in their respective policies appropriate clauses pursuant to which the respective insurance carriers shall waive all rights of subrogation with respect to losses payable under such policies.

 

(d)    Manager shall promptly investigate and promptly submit a written report to the insurance carrier and Owner as to all accidents and claims for damage relating

 


to the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Property, any damage to or destruction of the Property and the estimated costs of repair thereof, and at Owner’s request prepare and file with the insurance company in a timely manner and otherwise as the insurance company requires all reports in connection therewith. Manager shall take no action (such as admission of liability) which might preclude Owner from obtaining any protections provided by any policy held by Owner or which might prejudice Owner in its defense to a claim based on the applicable loss. Manager shall settle all claims against insurance companies arising out of any policies, including the execution of proofs of loss, the adjustment of losses, signing and collection of receipts and collection of money, except that Manager shall not settle claims in excess of $1,000 without the prior written approval of Owner.

 

3.2      Employees, Contractor’s, Subcontractor’s Insurance. For all of Manager’s employees and all contracts or work orders procured by Manager, Manager shall maintain and require all contractors and subcontractors entering upon the Property to perform services to maintain insurance coverage at the contractor’s or subcontractor’s expense, in the following minimum amounts: (a) Worker’s Compensation insurance for the statutory amount or Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), whichever is higher; (b) employer’s liability insurance for the statutory amount or Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), whichever is higher; (c) comprehensive auto liability insurance covering the use of all owned, non-owned and hired automobiles with bodily injury and property damage limits of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence; and (d) commercial general liability with a combined single limit of at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) as to Manager and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) as to contractors and subcontractors. Manager shall obtain Owner’s permission before altering or waiving any of the above requirements or limits. For any contract or series of related contracts with the same party which total in excess of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000), Manager shall obtain and keep on file a certificate of insurance which shows that each contractor and subcontractor is so insured and which names Owner, Property Manager and Property as additional insureds.

 

3.3      Waiver of Subrogation. To the extent available, all insurance policies obtained relating to the Property shall contain language whereby the insurance carrier thereunder waives all rights of subrogation with respect to losses payable under such policies.

 

ARTICLE 4. FINANCIAL REPORTING AND RECORDKEEPING

 

4.1      Books of Accounts. Manager shall maintain adequate and separate books and records for the Property with the entries supported by sufficient documentation to ascertain their accuracy with respect to the Property. Manager shall maintain such books and records at Manager’s office at Manager’s address as set forth in Section 13.1. Manager shall ensure such control over accounting and financial transactions as is reasonably necessary to protect Owner’s assets from theft, error or

 


fraudulent activity. To the extent not reimbursed by insurance proceeds, Manager shall bear losses arising from such instances, including, without limitation, the following: (a) theft of assets by Manager or its employees or affiliates; (b) overpayment or duplicate payment of invoices arising from either fraud or gross negligence, unless reimbursement or credit is subsequently received; (c) overpayment of labor costs arising from either fraud or gross negligence, unless reimbursement or credit is subsequently received; (d) overpayment resulting from kickbacks from suppliers to Manager or its employees or affiliates arising from the purchase of goods or services for the Property; and (e) unauthorized use of facilities by Manager or its employees or affiliates.

 

4.2      Financial Reports. No later than the fifteenth (15th) day of each month, Manager shall furnish to Owner an income statement, balance sheet and general ledger for the prior month. These reports shall show all collections, delinquencies, uncollectible items, expenses, vacancies and other matters requested by Owner pertaining to the management, operation, and maintenance of the Property during the month. Manager also shall deliver to Owner within 15 days after the termination of this Agreement, a balance sheet for the Property. The statement of income and expenses, the balance sheet, and all other financial statements and reports shall be prepared on an accrual basis as directed by Owner.

If Manager fails to cure such breach within the required period, this Agreement shall terminate at the end of such period.

In addition, Manager shall cooperate with Owner in

 


notifying all tenants of the Property of the expiration and termination of this Agreement, and shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Owner to accomplish an orderly transfer of the operation and management of the Property to a party designated by Owner. Manager shall, at its cost and expense, promptly remove all signs wherever located indicating that it is the manager and replace and repair any damage resulting therefrom. Termination of this Agreement shall not release either party from liability for failure to perform any of the duties or obligations as expressed herein and required to be performed by such party for the period prior to the termination.

 

Provisions of this Agreement that by their nature require a party to perform an obligation after termination in order to fulfil such obligation with respect to the period prior to termination shall survive the termination of this Agreement until fully performed.

AGENCY DISCLOSURE ADDENDUM (MISSOURI)

 

This Addendum is an integral part of the Agreement between OWENR/BUYER/TENANT and BROKER dated __________. By signing below, OWNER/BUYER/TENANT acknowledges receipt of this Addendum and acknowledges this Addendum is part of the attached Agreement. BROKER is duly licensed under the laws of the state of MISSOURI as a Real Estate Broker. OWNER/BUYER/TENANT acknowledges receiving the required Missouri Broker Disclosure Form regarding the disclosure of alternative agency relationships.

 

1.   A “dual agent” is a limited agent who, with the written consent of all parties, has entered into an agency brokerage relationship, and not a transaction brokerage relationship, with and therefore represents both the seller and buyer or both the landlord and tenant. A “dual agency” is a form of agency which results when an agent licensee or someone affiliated with the agent licensee represents another party to the same transaction. A licensee may act as a dual agent only with the written consent of all parties to the transaction. A dual agent shall be a limited agent for both seller and buyer or the landlord and tenant and shall have the duties and obligations required b y R.S.Mo §§ 339.730 and 339.740 unless otherwise provided for in § 339.750 R.S.Mo.

 

2.   Except as provided in this paragraph 2, a dual agent may disclose any information to one client that the licensee gains from the other client if the information is material to the transaction unless it is confidential information as defined in R.S.Mo. § 339.710. the following information shall not be disclosed by a dual agent without the consent of the client to whom the information pertains: (1) That a buyer or tenant is willing to pay more than the purchase price or lease rate offered for the property; (2) that a seller or landlord is willing to accept less than the asking price or lease rate for the property; (3) What the motivating factors are for any client buying, selling, or leasing the property; (4) That a client will agree to financing terms other than those offered, and (5) The terms of any prior offers or counter offers made by any party. A dual agent shall not disclose to one client any confidential information about the other client unless the disclosure is required by statute, rule, or regulation or failure to disclose the information would constitute a misrepresentation or unless disclosure is necessary to defend the affiliated licensee against an action of wrongful conduct in an administrative or judicial proceeding or before a professional committee. No cause of action for any person shall arise against a dual agent for making any required or permitted disclosure. A dual agent does not terminate the dual agency relationship by making any required or permitted disclosure.

 

3.   In a dual agency relationship there shall be no imputation of knowledge or information between the client and the dual agent or among persons within an entity engaged as dual agent.

 

TRANSACTION BROKER

 

A “Transaction Broker” is any licensee acting pursuant to R.S.Mo. §§ 339.710 to 339.860, who (a) Assists the parties to a transaction without an agency or fiduciary relationship to either party and is, therefore, neutral, serving neither as an advocate or advisor for either party to the transaction; (b) Assists one or more parties to a transaction and who has not entered into a specific written agency agreement to represent one or more of the parties; (c) Assists another party to the same transaction either solely or through licensee affiliates. Such license shall be deemed to be a transaction broker and not a dual agent, provided that, notice of assumption of transaction broker status is provided to the buyer and seller immediately upon such default to transaction broker status, to be confirmed in writing prior to execution of the contract. A transaction broker may cooperate with other brokers and such cooperation shall not establish an agency or subagency relationship.

 

1.   A transactional broker shall have the following duties and obligations: (a) to perform the terms of any written or oral agreement made with any party to the transaction; (b) To exercise reasonable skill, care and diligence as a transaction broker, including but limited to: (i) presenting all written offers and counteroffers in a timely manner regardless of whether the property subject to a contract for sale or lease or letter of intent unless otherwise provided in the agreement entered with the party; (ii) informing the parties regarding the transaction and suggesting that such parties obtain expert advice as to material matters about which the transaction broker knows but the specifics of which are beyond the expertise of such broker; (iii) accounting in a timely manner for all money and property received; (iv) disclosing to each party to the transaction any adverse material facts of which the licensee has actual notice or knowledge; (v) assisting the parties in complying with the terms and conditions of any contract; (c) To comply with all applicable requirements of R.S.Mo. §§ 339.710 and 339.860, subsection 2 of R.S.Mo. §§ 339.010 and all rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to such sections; and (d) To comply with any applicable federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, including fair housing and civil rights statutes and regulations. The parties to a transaction brokerage transaction shall not be liable for acts of the transaction broker.

 

2.   The following information shall not be disclosed by a transaction broker without the informed consent of the party or parties disclosing such information to the broker: (a) That a buyer or tenant is willing to pay more than the purchase price or lease rate offered for the property; (b) That a seller or landlord is willing to accept less than the asking price or lease rate for the property; (c) What the motivating factors are for any party buying, selling or leasing the property; (d) that a seller or buyer will agree to financing terms other than those offered; (c) any confidential information about the other party, unless disclosure of such information is required by law; statutes, rules or regulations or failure to disclose such information would constitute fraud or dishonest dealing.

3. A transaction broker has no duty to conduct an independent inspection of, or discover any defects in, the property. A transaction broker has no duty to conduct an independent investigation of the buyers’ financial condition.

 

4.    A transaction broker may do the following without breaching any obligation or responsibility: (a) show alternative properties not owned by the seller or landlord to a prospective buyer or tenant; (b) List competing properties for sale or lease; (c) show properties in which the buyer or tenant is interested to other prospective buyers or tenants; (d) serve a s a single agent,

 


subagent or designated agent or broker, limited agent, disclosed dual agent for the same or for different parties in other real estate transactions.

 

5.   A transaction broker may cooperate with other brokers and such cooperation does not establish an agency or subagency relationship.

 

6.   In a transaction broker relationship each party and the transaction broker, including all persons within an entity engaged as the transaction broker if the transaction broker is an entity, are considered to possess only actual knowledge and information. There is no imputation of knowledge or information by operation of law between any party and the transaction broker or between any party and any person within an entity engaged as the transaction broker if the transaction broker is an entity.

 

7.   Nothing in § 339.755 R.S.Mo, prohibits a transaction broker for acting as a single limited agent, dual agent, or subagent whether on behalf of a buyer or seller, as long as the requirements governing disclosure of such fact are met. Nothing in § 339.755 R.S.Mo. alters or eliminates the responsibility of a broker as set forth in such statues for the conduct and actions of a licensee operating under the broker’s license.

 

8.   If any licensee who represents another party to the same transaction either solely or through affiliate licenses refuses transaction broker statutes and wants to continue an agency relationship with both parties to the transaction, such licensee shall have the right to become a designated agent or a dual agent as provided for in §§ 339.730 to 339.860 R.S.Mo.

 

9.   In any transaction a licensee may without liability withdraw from representing a client who has not consented to a conversion to transaction brokerage. Such withdrawal shall not prejudice the ability of the licensee or affiliated licensee to continue to represent the other client in the transaction or limit the licensee form representing the client who refused the transaction brokerage representation in another transaction not involving transaction brokerage.

 

DESIGNATED AGENCY

 

A designated broker entering into a limited agency agreement or written transaction brokerage agreement with a client or party for the listing or property or for the purpose of representing or assisting that person in the buying, selling, exchanging, renting, or leasing or real estate may appoint n writing affiliated licensees as designated agents or designated transaction brokers to the exclusion of all other affiliated licensees. If a designated broker has made an appointment pursuant to this section, an affiliated licensee assisting a party without a written agreement shall be presumed to be a transaction broker to the exclusion of all other affiliated licensees, unless a different brokerage relationship status has been disclosed to or established with that party. A designated broker shall both be considered to be a dual agent or transaction broker solely because such broker makes an appointment of a designated agent, except that any licensee who is not a transaction broker and who personally represents both the seller and buyer or both the landlord and tenant in a particular transaction shall be a dual agent or transaction broker and shall be required to comply with the provisions governing dual agents or transaction brokers. All designated agents or transaction brokers to the extent allow allowed by their licenses shall have the same duties and responsibilities to the client and customer pursuant to in §§ 339.730 to 339.755 R.S.Mo. as the designated broker except as provided above.

by Lender.

 

2.3       INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE. All representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Security Instrument as same may be modified, renewed, substituted or extended are hereby made a part of this Assignment to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein.

 

3.

REMEDIES

 

3.1       REMEDIES OF LENDER. Upon or at any time after the occurrence of a default under this Assignment or an Event of Default (as defined in the Security Instrument) (a “Default”), the license granted to Borrower in Section 2.1 of this Assignment shall automatically be revoked, and Lender shall immediately be entitled to possession of all Rents and sums due under any Lease Guaranties, whether or not Lender enters upon or takes control of the Property. In addition, Lender may, at its option, without waiving such Default, without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Debt, either in person or by agent, nominee or attorney, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, dispossess Borrower and its agents and servants from the Property, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise and exclude Borrower and its agents or servants wholly therefrom, and take possession of the Property and all books, records and accounts relating thereto and have, hold, manage, lease and operate the Property on such terms and for such period of time as Lender may deem proper and either with or without taking possession of the Property in its own name, demand, sue for or otherwise collect and receive all Rents and sums due under all Lease Guaranties, including those past due and unpaid with full power to make from time to time all alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements thereto or thereof as may seem proper to

 


Lender and may apply the Rents and sums received pursuant to any Lease Guaranties to the payment of the following in such order and proportion as Lender in its sole discretion may determine, any law, custom or use to the contrary notwithstanding: (a) all expenses of managing and securing the Property, including, without being limited thereto, the salaries, fees and wages of a managing agent and such other employees or agents as Lender may deem necessary or desirable and all expenses of operating and maintaining the Property, including, without being limited thereto, all taxes, charges, claims, assessments, water charges, sewer rents and any other liens, and premiums for all insurance which Lender may deem necessary or desirable, and the cost of all alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements, and all expenses incident to taking and retaining possession of the Property; and (b) the Debt, together with all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Default, Lender, at its option, may (1) complete any construction on the Property in such manner and form as Lender deems advisable, (2) exercise all rights and powers of Borrower, including, without limitation, the right to negotiate, execute, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, sue for, collect and receive all Rents from the Property and all sums due under any Lease Guaranties, (3) either require Borrower to pay monthly in advance to Lender, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupancy of such part of the Property as may be in possession of Borrower or (4) require Borrower to vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Lender or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Borrower may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise.

 

3.2       OTHER REMEDIES. Lender shall have the right to have all Rents paid to a Lock-Box Account (as defined in the Security Instrument) pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 4.4 of the Security Instrument. Nothing contained in this Assignment and no act done or omitted by Lender pursuant to the power and rights granted to Lender hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver by Lender of its rights and remedies under the Note, the Security Instrument, or the other Loan Documents and this Assignment is made and accepted without prejudice to any of the rights and remedies possessed by Lender under the terms thereof. The right of Lender to collect the Debt and to enforce any other security therefor held by it may be exercised by Lender either prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to any action taken by it hereunder. Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all rights to assert any setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever with respect to the obligations of Borrower under this Assignment, the Note, the Security Instrument, the other Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to the Loan in any action or proceeding brought by Lender to collect same, or any portion thereof, or to enforce and realize upon the lien and security interest created by this Assignment, the Note, the Security Instrument, or any of the other Loan Documents (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver of Borrower’s right to assert any compulsory counterclaim if such counterclaim is compelled under local law or rule of procedure, nor shall the foregoing be deemed a waiver of Borrower’s right to assert any claim which would constitute a defense, setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever against Lender in any separate action or proceeding).

 

3.3       OTHER SECURITY. Lender may take or release other security for the payment of the Debt, may release any party primarily or secondarily liable therefor and may apply any other security held by it to the reduction or satisfaction of the Debt without prejudice to any of its rights under this Assignment.

 


 

3.4       NON-WAIVER. The exercise by Lender of the option granted it in Section 3.1 of this Assignment and the collection of the Rents and sums due under the Lease Guaranties and the application thereof as herein provided shall not be considered a waiver of any default by Borrower under the Note, the Security Instrument, the Leases, this Assignment or the other Loan Documents. The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Assignment. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower’s obligations hereunder by reason of (a) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower or any other party to take any action to enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, (b) the release regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or (c) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of this Assignment, the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Lender may take any action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to enforce its rights under this Assignment. The rights of Lender under this Assignment shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision.

 

 

3.5

BANKRUPTCY.

 

(a)       Upon or at any time after the occurrence of a Default, Lender shall have the right to proceed in its own name or in the name of Borrower in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Borrower, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the lessee under such Lease under the Bankruptcy Code.

 

(b)       If there shall be filed by or against Borrower a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, and Borrower, as lessor under any Lease, shall determine to reject such Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Borrower shall give Lender not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice of the date on which Borrower shall apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to reject the Lease. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Borrower within such ten-day period a notice stating that (i) Lender demands that Borrower assume and assign the Lease to Lender pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) Lender covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Lease. If Lender serves upon Borrower the notice described in the preceding sentence, Borrower shall not seek to reject the Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the notice shall have been given, subject to the performance by Lender of the covenant provided for in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

 

 


4.

NO LIABILITY, FURTHER ASSURANCES

 

4.1       NO LIABILITY OF LENDER. This Assignment shall not be construed to bind Lender to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any Lease or Lease Guaranty or otherwise impose any obligation upon Lender.

AGENCY DISCLOSURE ADDENDUM (MISSOURI)

 

This Addendum is an integral part of the Agreement between OWENR/BUYER/TENANT and BROKER dated __________. By signing below, OWNER/BUYER/TENANT acknowledges receipt of this Addendum and acknowledges this Addendum is part of the attached Agreement. BROKER is duly licensed under the laws of the state of MISSOURI as a Real Estate Broker. OWNER/BUYER/TENANT acknowledges receiving the required Missouri Broker Disclosure Form regarding the disclosure of alternative agency relationships.

 

1.   A “dual agent” is a limited agent who, with the written consent of all parties, has entered into an agency brokerage relationship, and not a transaction brokerage relationship, with and therefore represents both the seller and buyer or both the landlord and tenant. A “dual agency” is a form of agency which results when an agent licensee or someone affiliated with the agent licensee represents another party to the same transaction. A licensee may act as a dual agent only with the written consent of all parties to the transaction. A dual agent shall be a limited agent for both seller and buyer or the landlord and tenant and shall have the duties and obligations required b y R.S.Mo §§ 339.730 and 339.740 unless otherwise provided for in § 339.750 R.S.Mo.

 

2.   Except as provided in this paragraph 2, a dual agent may disclose any information to one client that the licensee gains from the other client if the information is material to the transaction unless it is confidential information as defined in R.S.Mo. § 339.710. the following information shall not be disclosed by a dual agent without the consent of the client to whom the information pertains: (1) That a buyer or tenant is willing to pay more than the purchase price or lease rate offered for the property; (2) that a seller or landlord is willing to accept less than the asking price or lease rate for the property; (3) What the motivating factors are for any client buying, selling, or leasing the property; (4) That a client will agree to financing terms other than those offered, and (5) The terms of any prior offers or counter offers made by any party. A dual agent shall not disclose to one client any confidential information about the other client unless the disclosure is required by statute, rule, or regulation or failure to disclose the information would constitute a misrepresentation or unless disclosure is necessary to defend the affiliated licensee against an action of wrongful conduct in an administrative or judicial proceeding or before a professional committee. No cause of action for any person shall arise against a dual agent for making any required or permitted disclosure. A dual agent does not terminate the dual agency relationship by making any required or permitted disclosure.

 

3.   In a dual agency relationship there shall be no imputation of knowledge or information between the client and the dual agent or among persons within an entity engaged as dual agent.

 

TRANSACTION BROKER

 

A “Transaction Broker” is any licensee acting pursuant to R.S.Mo. §§ 339.710 to 339.860, who (a) Assists the parties to a transaction without an agency or fiduciary relationship to either party and is, therefore, neutral, serving neither as an advocate or advisor for either party to the transaction; (b) Assists one or more parties to a transaction and who has not entered into a specific written agency agreement to represent one or more of the parties; (c) Assists another party to the same transaction either solely or through licensee affiliates. Such license shall be deemed to be a transaction broker and not a dual agent, provided that, notice of assumption of transaction broker status is provided to the buyer and seller immediately upon such default to transaction broker status, to be confirmed in writing prior to execution of the contract. A transaction broker may cooperate with other brokers and such cooperation shall not establish an agency or subagency relationship.

 

1.   A transactional broker shall have the following duties and obligations: (a) to perform the terms of any written or oral agreement made with any party to the transaction; (b) To exercise reasonable skill, care and diligence as a transaction broker, including but limited to: (i) presenting all written offers and counteroffers in a timely manner regardless of whether the property subject to a contract for sale or lease or letter of intent unless otherwise provided in the agreement entered with the party; (ii) informing the parties regarding the transaction and suggesting that such parties obtain expert advice as to material matters about which the transaction broker knows but the specifics of which are beyond the expertise of such broker; (iii) accounting in a timely manner for all money and property received; (iv) disclosing to each party to the transaction any adverse material facts of which the licensee has actual notice or knowledge; (v) assisting the parties in complying with the terms and conditions of any contract; (c) To comply with all applicable requirements of R.S.Mo. §§ 339.710 and 339.860, subsection 2 of R.S.Mo. §§ 339.010 and all rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to such sections; and (d) To comply with any applicable federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, including fair housing and civil rights statutes and regulations. The parties to a transaction brokerage transaction shall not be liable for acts of the transaction broker.

 

2.   The following information shall not be disclosed by a transaction broker without the informed consent of the party or parties disclosing such information to the broker: (a) That a buyer or tenant is willing to pay more than the purchase price or lease rate offered for the property; (b) That a seller or landlord is willing to accept less than the asking price or lease rate for the property; (c) What the motivating factors are for any party buying, selling or leasing the property; (d) that a seller or buyer will agree to financing terms other than those offered; (c) any confidential information about the other party, unless disclosure of such information is required by law; statutes, rules or regulations or failure to disclose such information would constitute fraud or dishonest dealing.

 


3. A transaction broker has no duty to conduct an independent inspection of, or discover any defects in, the property. A transaction broker has no duty to conduct an independent investigation of the buyers’ financial condition.

 

4.    A transaction broker may do the following without breaching any obligation or responsibility: (a) show alternative properties not owned by the seller or landlord to a prospective buyer or tenant; (b) List competing properties for sale or lease; (c) show properties in which the buyer or tenant is interested to other prospective buyers or tenants; (d) serve a s a single agent, subagent or designated agent or broker, limited agent, disclosed dual agent for the same or for different parties in other real estate transactions.

 

5.   A transaction broker may cooperate with other brokers and such cooperation does not establish an agency or subagency relationship.

 

6.   In a transaction broker relationship each party and the transaction broker, including all persons within an entity engaged as the transaction broker if the transaction broker is an entity, are considered to possess only actual knowledge and information. There is no imputation of knowledge or information by operation of law between any party and the transaction broker or between any party and any person within an entity engaged as the transaction broker if the transaction broker is an entity.

 

7.   Nothing in § 339.755 R.S.Mo, prohibits a transaction broker for acting as a single limited agent, dual agent, or subagent whether on behalf of a buyer or seller, as long as the requirements governing disclosure of such fact are met. Nothing in § 339.755 R.S.Mo. alters or eliminates the responsibility of a broker as set forth in such statues for the conduct and actions of a licensee operating under the broker’s license.

 

8.   If any licensee who represents another party to the same transaction either solely or through affiliate licenses refuses transaction broker statutes and wants to continue an agency relationship with both parties to the transaction, such licensee shall have the right to become a designated agent or a dual agent as provided for in §§ 339.730 to 339.860 R.S.Mo.

 

9.   In any transaction a licensee may without liability withdraw from representing a client who has not consented to a conversion to transaction brokerage. Such withdrawal shall not prejudice the ability of the licensee or affiliated licensee to continue to represent the other client in the transaction or limit the licensee form representing the client who refused the transaction brokerage representation in another transaction not involving transaction brokerage.

 

DESIGNATED AGENCY

 

A designated broker entering into a limited agency agreement or written transaction brokerage agreement with a client or party for the listing or property or for the purpose of representing or assisting that person in the buying, selling, exchanging, renting, or leasing or real estate may appoint n writing affiliated licensees as designated agents or designated transaction brokers to the exclusion of all other affiliated licensees. If a designated broker has made an appointment pursuant to this section, an affiliated licensee assisting a party without a written agreement shall be presumed to be a transaction broker to the exclusion of all other affiliated licensees, unless a different brokerage relationship status has been disclosed to or established with that party. A designated broker shall both be considered to be a dual agent or transaction broker solely because such broker makes an appointment of a designated agent, except that any licensee who is not a transaction broker and who personally represents both the seller and buyer or both the landlord and tenant in a particular transaction shall be a dual agent or transaction broker and shall be required to comply with the provisions governing dual agents or transaction brokers. All designated agents or transaction brokers to the extent allow allowed by their licenses shall have the same duties and responsibilities to the client and customer pursuant to in §§ 339.730 to 339.755 R.S.Mo. as the designated broker except as provided above.

AGENCY DISCLOSURE ADDENDUM (MISSOURI)

 

This Addendum is an integral part of the Agreement between OWENR/BUYER/TENANT and BROKER dated __________. By signing below, OWNER/BUYER/TENANT acknowledges receipt of this Addendum and acknowledges this Addendum is part of the attached Agreement. BROKER is duly licensed under the laws of the state of MISSOURI as a Real Estate Broker. OWNER/BUYER/TENANT acknowledges receiving the required Missouri Broker Disclosure Form regarding the disclosure of alternative agency relationships.

 

1.   A “dual agent” is a limited agent who, with the written consent of all parties, has entered into an agency brokerage relationship, and not a transaction brokerage relationship, with and therefore represents both the seller and buyer or both the landlord and tenant. A “dual agency” is a form of agency which results when an agent licensee or someone affiliated with the agent licensee represents another party to the same transaction. A licensee may act as a dual agent only with the written consent of all parties to the transaction. A dual agent shall be a limited agent for both seller and buyer or the landlord and tenant and shall have the duties and obligations required b y R.S.Mo §§ 339.730 and 339.740 unless otherwise provided for in § 339.750 R.S.Mo.

 

2.   Except as provided in this paragraph 2, a dual agent may disclose any information to one client that the licensee gains from the other client if the information is material to the transaction unless it is confidential information as defined in R.S.Mo. § 339.710. the following information shall not be disclosed by a dual agent without the consent of the client to whom the information pertains: (1) That a buyer or tenant is willing to pay more than the purchase price or lease rate offered for the property; (2) that a seller or landlord is willing to accept less than the asking price or lease rate for the property; (3) What the motivating factors are for any client buying, selling, or leasing the property; (4) That a client will agree to financing terms other than those offered, and (5) The terms of any prior offers or counter offers made by any party. A dual agent shall not disclose to one client any confidential information about the other client unless the disclosure is required by statute, rule, or regulation or failure to disclose the information would constitute a misrepresentation or unless disclosure is necessary to defend the affiliated licensee against an action of wrongful conduct in an administrative or judicial proceeding or before a professional committee. No cause of action for any person shall arise against a dual agent for making any required or permitted disclosure. A dual agent does not terminate the dual agency relationship by making any required or permitted disclosure.

 

3.   In a dual agency relationship there shall be no imputation of knowledge or information between the client and the dual agent or among persons within an entity engaged as dual agent.

 

TRANSACTION BROKER

 

A “Transaction Broker” is any licensee acting pursuant to R.S.Mo. §§ 339.710 to 339.860, who (a) Assists the parties to a transaction without an agency or fiduciary relationship to either party and is, therefore, neutral, serving neither as an advocate or advisor for either party to the transaction; (b) Assists one or more parties to a transaction and who has not entered into a specific written agency agreement to represent one or more of the parties; (c) Assists another party to the same transaction either solely or through licensee affiliates. Such license shall be deemed to be a transaction broker and not a dual agent, provided that, notice of assumption of transaction broker status is provided to the buyer and seller immediately upon such default to transaction broker status, to be confirmed in writing prior to execution of the contract. A transaction broker may cooperate with other brokers and such cooperation shall not establish an agency or subagency relationship.

 

1.   A transactional broker shall have the following duties and obligations: (a) to perform the terms of any written or oral agreement made with any party to the transaction; (b) To exercise reasonable skill, care and diligence as a transaction broker, including but limited to: (i) presenting all written offers and counteroffers in a timely manner regardless of whether the property subject to a contract for sale or lease or letter of intent unless otherwise provided in the agreement entered with the party; (ii) informing the parties regarding the transaction and suggesting that such parties obtain expert advice as to material matters about which the transaction broker knows but the specifics of which are beyond the expertise of such broker; (iii) accounting in a timely manner for all money and property received; (iv) disclosing to each party to the transaction any adverse material facts of which the licensee has actual notice or knowledge; (v) assisting the parties in complying with the terms and conditions of any contract; (c) To comply with all applicable requirements of R.S.Mo. §§ 339.710 and 339.860, subsection 2 of R.S.Mo. §§ 339.010 and all rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to such sections; and (d) To comply with any applicable federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, including fair housing and civil rights statutes and regulations. The parties to a transaction brokerage transaction shall not be liable for acts of the transaction broker.

 

2.   The following information shall not be disclosed by a transaction broker without the informed consent of the party or parties disclosing such information to the broker: (a) That a buyer or tenant is willing to pay more than the purchase price or lease rate offered for the property; (b) That a seller or landlord is willing to accept less than the asking price or lease rate for the property; (c) What the motivating factors are for any party buying, selling or leasing the property; (d) that a seller or buyer will agree to financing terms other than those offered; (c) any confidential information about the other party, unless disclosure of such information is required by law; statutes, rules or regulations or failure to disclose such information would constitute fraud or dishonest dealing.

 


3. A transaction broker has no duty to conduct an independent inspection of, or discover any defects in, the property. A transaction broker has no duty to conduct an independent investigation of the buyers’ financial condition.

 

4.    A transaction broker may do the following without breaching any obligation or responsibility: (a) show alternative properties not owned by the seller or landlord to a prospective buyer or tenant; (b) List competing properties for sale or lease; (c) show properties in which the buyer or tenant is interested to other prospective buyers or tenants; (d) serve a s a single agent, subagent or designated agent or broker, limited agent, disclosed dual agent for the same or for different parties in other real estate transactions.

 

5.   A transaction broker may cooperate with other brokers and such cooperation does not establish an agency or subagency relationship.

 

6.   In a transaction broker relationship each party and the transaction broker, including all persons within an entity engaged as the transaction broker if the transaction broker is an entity, are considered to possess only actual knowledge and information. There is no imputation of knowledge or information by operation of law between any party and the transaction broker or between any party and any person within an entity engaged as the transaction broker if the transaction broker is an entity.

 

7.   Nothing in § 339.755 R.S.Mo, prohibits a transaction broker for acting as a single limited agent, dual agent, or subagent whether on behalf of a buyer or seller, as long as the requirements governing disclosure of such fact are met. Nothing in § 339.755 R.S.Mo. alters or eliminates the responsibility of a broker as set forth in such statues for the conduct and actions of a licensee operating under the broker’s license.

 

8.   If any licensee who represents another party to the same transaction either solely or through affiliate licenses refuses transaction broker statutes and wants to continue an agency relationship with both parties to the transaction, such licensee shall have the right to become a designated agent or a dual agent as provided for in §§ 339.730 to 339.860 R.S.Mo.

 

9.   In any transaction a licensee may without liability withdraw from representing a client who has not consented to a conversion to transaction brokerage. Such withdrawal shall not prejudice the ability of the licensee or affiliated licensee to continue to represent the other client in the transaction or limit the licensee form representing the client who refused the transaction brokerage representation in another transaction not involving transaction brokerage.

 

DESIGNATED AGENCY

 

A designated broker entering into a limited agency agreement or written transaction brokerage agreement with a client or party for the listing or property or for the purpose of representing or assisting that person in the buying, selling, exchanging, renting, or leasing or real estate may appoint n writing affiliated licensees as designated agents or designated transaction brokers to the exclusion of all other affiliated licensees. If a designated broker has made an appointment pursuant to this section, an affiliated licensee assisting a party without a written agreement shall be presumed to be a transaction broker to the exclusion of all other affiliated licensees, unless a different brokerage relationship status has been disclosed to or established with that party. A designated broker shall both be considered to be a dual agent or transaction broker solely because such broker makes an appointment of a designated agent, except that any licensee who is not a transaction broker and who personally represents both the seller and buyer or both the landlord and tenant in a particular transaction shall be a dual agent or transaction broker and shall be required to comply with the provisions governing dual agents or transaction brokers. All designated agents or transaction brokers to the extent allow allowed by their licenses shall have the same duties and responsibilities to the client and customer pursuant to in §§ 339.730 to 339.755 R.S.Mo. as the designated broker except as provided above.

Owner desires to engage Manager, and Manager desires to accept such engagement, to manage, lease, operate, and maintain the Property on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

 

THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1.1       Commencement and Term. Manager’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement shall begin on the date hereof (the “Start Date”) and shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the conveyance of the Property or any portion thereof, as to such conveyed portion thereof only, or (ii) termination as provided in Article 10.

Manager shall keep the Property clean and in good repair, shall promptly order and supervise the completion of such repairs as may be required and shall generally do and perform, or cause to be done or performed, all things necessary or desirable to ensure the proper and efficient management, operation, and maintenance of the Property. Manager shall perform all services in a diligent and professional manner. Additionally, Manager shall upon Owner’s request cooperate with any proposed purchaser of the Property, any proposed lender evaluating the Property as collateral or any broker named by Owner in connection with a sale or financing of the Property. Manager is hereby authorized to take any action with respect to the Property which Manager believes in good faith is necessary for Manager to comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to Manager, as a licensed real estate broker or otherwise, and, when possible, Manager agrees to provide advance notice to and consult with Owner about any such action that has not been previously authorized. Manager shall exercise reasonable efforts to comply with all directions or instructions from Owner pertaining to the Property.

 


2.2       Employees; Independent Contractor. All arrangements and agreements with employees or independent contractors working at the Property shall confirm that Owner has no obligation or relationship with respect to such employees or independent contractors. Manager shall comply with all applicable governmental requirements relating to worker’s compensation, liability insurance, Social Security, unemployment insurance, hours of labor, wages, working conditions, employment discrimination, and other employer-employee related matters and shall prepare and file all forms required in connection therewith. Manager shall obtain coverage of all employees who handle funds of Owner by fidelity bond or under a comprehensive crime insurance policy, each in amounts required by Owner and indemnifying Owner against loss, theft, embezzlement, or other fraudulent acts of Manager or its employees. Manager shall employ, directly or through third party contractors (e.g., an employee leasing company) all labor and employees required for the operation and maintenance of the property, it being agreed that all employees shall be deemed employees of Manager and not Owner. Owner’s insurance policies required hereunder shall not cover and the Owner shall not be liable for any wrong doing by Manager’s employees, any claims, costs, damages and liabilities, including but not limited to the defense of any claim or lawsuit arising out of the employment of any of the Manager’s employees.

materials) of any city, county, state or federal government, or any public authority or official thereof, or of any court, having jurisdiction over it on a going forward basis. Manager shall notify Owner promptly, and forward to Owner promptly, any complaints, warnings, notices or summonses received by it relating to such matters, and shall use diligent efforts to cure any violation relating to such complaints, warnings, notices or summonses.

 

(d)       Owner: (i) represents that the Property has not received any notice regarding non-compliance with all applicable legal requirements; (ii) authorizes Manager to disclose the ownership of the Property to any such officials; and (iii) agrees to indemnify, defend and save Manager, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, representatives and employees harmless from any and all losses, costs, damages, claims, fines, penalties, expenses and liabilities which may be imposed upon or threatened against any of them by reason of any current or future violation or alleged violation of such laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, or orders, or in connection with any bills or charges unpaid by Owner except for any violations resulting from the acts or omissions of any such indemnified party.

Owner may amend prospectively such Approved Budget at any time in its good faith discretion upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Manager.

10.3     Termination by Manager. Manager shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days written notice to Owner.

operation and management of the Property to a party designated by Owner.

Termination of this Agreement shall not release either party from liability for failure to perform any of the duties or obligations as expressed herein and required to be performed by such party for the period prior to the termination.

THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1.1       Commencement and Term. Manager’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement shall begin on the date hereof (the “Start Date”) and shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the conveyance of the Property or any portion thereof, as to such conveyed portion thereof only, or (ii) termination as provided in Article 10.

 

ARTICLE 2. MANAGER’S RESPONSIBILITIES

Manager shall keep the Property clean and in good repair, shall promptly order and supervise the completion of such repairs as may be required and shall generally do and perform, or cause to be done or performed, all things necessary or desirable to ensure the proper and efficient management, operation, and maintenance of the Property. Manager shall perform all services in a diligent and professional manner. Additionally, Manager shall upon Owner’s request cooperate with any proposed purchaser of the Property, any proposed lender evaluating the Property as collateral or any broker named by Owner in connection with a sale or financing of the Property. Manager is hereby authorized to take any action with respect to the Property which Manager believes in good faith is necessary for Manager to comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to Manager, as a licensed real estate broker or otherwise, and, when possible, Manager agrees to provide advance notice to and consult with Owner about any such action that has not been previously authorized. Manager shall exercise reasonable efforts to comply with all directions or instructions from Owner pertaining to the Property.

 


2.2       Employees; Independent Contractor. All arrangements and agreements with employees or independent contractors working at the Property shall confirm that Owner has no obligation or relationship with respect to such employees or independent contractors. Manager shall comply with all applicable governmental requirements relating to worker’s compensation, liability insurance, Social Security, unemployment insurance, hours of labor, wages, working conditions, employment discrimination, and other employer-employee related matters and shall prepare and file all forms required in connection therewith. Manager shall obtain coverage of all employees who handle funds of Owner by fidelity bond or under a comprehensive crime insurance policy, each in amounts required by Owner and indemnifying Owner against loss, theft, embezzlement, or other fraudulent acts of Manager or its employees. Manager shall employ, directly or through third party contractors (e.g., an employee leasing company) all labor and employees required for the operation and maintenance of the property, it being agreed that all employees shall be deemed employees of Manager and not Owner. Owner’s insurance policies required hereunder shall not cover and the Owner shall not be liable for any wrong doing by Manager’s employees, any claims, costs, damages and liabilities, including but not limited to the defense of any claim or lawsuit arising out of the employment of any of the Manager’s employees.

2.3       Compliance with Laws. Manager shall comply with all governmental requirements relative to the performance of its duties hereunder and shall use diligent efforts to cause the Property to comply with all applicable governmental requirements.

 

(a)       Owner represents that it has no knowledge of any violations existing at or prior to the Start Date of any ordinances, laws, rules, regulations or orders (including, but not limited to, those relating to the disposal of solid, liquid and gaseous wastes or materials) of any city, county, state or federal government, or any public authority or official thereof, or of any court, having jurisdiction over it.

 

(b)       Except to the extent any existing violations resulted from the acts or omissions of Manager, Manager shall not have any responsibility or liability for violations existing at or prior to the Start Date of any ordinances, laws, rules, regulations or orders (including, but not limited to, those relating to the disposal of solid, liquid and gaseous wastes or materials) of any city, county, state or federal government, or any public authority or official thereof, or of any court, having jurisdiction over it, except to: (i) notify Owner promptly of any existing violations actually discovered by Manager: (ii) forward to Owner promptly any complaints, warning, notices or summonses received by it relating to such matters; and (iii) use diligent efforts to cure any such existing violations.

materials) of any city, county, state or federal government, or any public authority or official thereof, or of any court, having jurisdiction over it on a going forward basis. Manager shall notify Owner promptly, and forward to Owner promptly, any complaints, warnings, notices or summonses received by it relating to such matters, and shall use diligent efforts to cure any violation relating to such complaints, warnings, notices or summonses.

 

(d)       Owner: (i) represents that the Property has not received any notice regarding non-compliance with all applicable legal requirements; (ii) authorizes Manager to disclose the ownership of the Property to any such officials; and (iii) agrees to indemnify, defend and save Manager, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, representatives and employees harmless from any and all losses, costs, damages, claims, fines, penalties, expenses and liabilities which may be imposed upon or threatened against any of them by reason of any current or future violation or alleged violation of such laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, or orders, or in connection with any bills or charges unpaid by Owner except for any violations resulting from the acts or omissions of any such indemnified party.

 

(e)       Manager shall furnish to Owner no later than the end of the third (3rd) business day after receipt by Manager each notice or order affecting the Property, including, without limitation, any notice from any taxing or other governmental authority, any notice of violation of any governmental requirement by the Property or Owner, any notice of default or otherwise from the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust, or any notice of renewal, termination or cancellation of or default under any insurance policy.

(a) An initial annual capital and operating budget on a monthly basis for the projected revenue and the promotion, operation, staffing, repair, maintenance and improvement of the Property is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Such budget as amended by Owner from time to time and each subsequent annual budget as approved and amended from time to time by Owner is referred to herein as the Approved Budget. Owner may amend prospectively such Approved Budget at any time in its good faith discretion upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Manager.

In the event of a Default described in clause (e), Owner shall notify Manager that this Agreement shall terminate if such Default is not cured within fifteen (15) days of such notice and shall describe the Default in such notice sufficiently for Manager to identify and cure the Default. If cure of such Default requires more than fifteen (15) days and Manager has commenced and thereafter diligently continues its efforts to cure such breach, then such fifteen-day period shall be extended for the reasonable amount of time needed to complete such efforts. If Manager fails to cure such breach within the required period, this Agreement shall terminate at the end of such period. Failure of Owner to give notice to Manager for Manager’s Default hereunder shall not constitute a waiver by Owner of its rights and remedies against Manager.

10.3     Termination by Manager. Manager shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days written notice to Owner.

In addition, Manager shall cooperate with Owner in notifying all tenants of the Property of the expiration and termination of this Agreement, and shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Owner to accomplish an orderly transfer of the

 


operation and management of the Property to a party designated by Owner. Manager shall, at its cost and expense, promptly remove all signs wherever located indicating that it is the manager and replace and repair any damage resulting therefrom. Termination of this Agreement shall not release either party from liability for failure to perform any of the duties or obligations as expressed herein and required to be performed by such party for the period prior to the termination.

 

Provisions of this Agreement that by their nature require a party to perform an obligation after termination in order to such obligation with respect to the period prior to termination shall survive the termination of this Agreement until fully performed.

A “dual agency” is a form of agency which results when an agent licensee or someone affiliated with the agent licensee represents another party to the same transaction. A licensee may act as a dual agent only with the written consent of all parties to the transaction. A dual agent shall be a limited agent for both seller and buyer or the landlord and tenant and shall have the duties and obligations required b y R.S.Mo §§ 339.730 and 339.740 unless otherwise provided for in § 339.750 R.S.Mo.

 

2.   Except as provided in this paragraph 2, a dual agent may disclose any information to one client that the licensee gains from the other client if the information is material to the transaction unless it is confidential information as defined in R.S.Mo. § 339.710. the following information shall not be disclosed by a dual agent without the consent of the client to whom the information pertains: (1) That a buyer or tenant is willing to pay more than the purchase price or lease rate offered for the property; (2) that a seller or landlord is willing to accept less than the asking price or lease rate for the property; (3) What the motivating factors are for any client buying, selling, or leasing the property; (4) That a client will agree to financing terms other than those offered, and (5) The terms of any prior offers or counter offers made by any party. A dual agent shall not disclose to one client any confidential information about the other client unless the disclosure is required by statute, rule, or regulation or failure to disclose the information would constitute a misrepresentation or unless disclosure is necessary to defend the affiliated licensee against an action of wrongful conduct in an administrative or judicial proceeding or before a professional committee. No cause of action for any person shall arise against a dual agent for making any required or permitted disclosure. A dual agent does not terminate the dual agency relationship by making any required or permitted disclosure.

 

3.   In a dual agency relationship there shall be no imputation of knowledge or information between the client and the dual agent or among persons within an entity engaged as dual agent.

 

TRANSACTION BROKER

 

A “Transaction Broker” is any licensee acting pursuant to R.S.Mo. §§ 339.710 to 339.860, who (a) Assists the parties to a transaction without an agency or fiduciary relationship to either party and is, therefore, neutral, serving neither as an advocate or advisor for either party to the transaction; (b) Assists one or more parties to a transaction and who has not entered into a specific written agency agreement to represent one or more of the parties; (c) Assists another party to the same transaction either solely or through licensee affiliates. Such license shall be deemed to be a transaction broker and not a dual agent, provided that, notice of assumption of transaction broker status is provided to the buyer and seller immediately upon such default to transaction broker status, to be confirmed in writing prior to execution of the contract. A transaction broker may cooperate with other brokers and such cooperation shall not establish an agency or subagency relationship.

 

1.   A transactional broker shall have the following duties and obligations: (a) to perform the terms of any written or oral agreement made with any party to the transaction; (b) To exercise reasonable skill, care and diligence as a transaction broker, including but limited to: (i) presenting all written offers and counteroffers in a timely manner regardless of whether the property subject to a contract for sale or lease or letter of intent unless otherwise provided in the agreement entered with the party; (ii) informing the parties regarding the transaction and suggesting that such parties obtain expert advice as to material matters about which the transaction broker knows but the specifics of which are beyond the expertise of such broker; (iii) accounting in a timely manner for all money and property received; (iv) disclosing to each party to the transaction any adverse material facts of which the licensee has actual notice or knowledge; (v) assisting the parties in complying with the terms and conditions of any contract; (c) To comply with all applicable requirements of R.S.Mo. §§ 339.710 and 339.860, subsection 2 of R.S.Mo. §§ 339.010 and all rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to such sections; and (d) To comply with any applicable federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, including fair housing and civil rights statutes and regulations. The parties to a transaction brokerage transaction shall not be liable for acts of the transaction broker.

 

2.   The following information shall not be disclosed by a transaction broker without the informed consent of the party or parties disclosing such information to the broker: (a) That a buyer or tenant is willing to pay more than the purchase price or lease rate offered for the property; (b) That a seller or landlord is willing to accept less than the asking price or lease rate for the property; (c) What the motivating factors are for any party buying, selling or leasing the property; (d) that a seller or buyer will agree to financing terms other than those offered; (c) any confidential information about the other party, unless disclosure of such information is required by law; statutes, rules or regulations or failure to disclose such information would constitute fraud or dishonest dealing.

 


3. A transaction broker has no duty to conduct an independent inspection of, or discover any defects in, the property. A transaction broker has no duty to conduct an independent investigation of the buyers’ financial condition.

 

4.    A transaction broker may do the following without breaching any obligation or responsibility: (a) show alternative properties not owned by the seller or landlord to a prospective buyer or tenant; (b) List competing properties for sale or lease; (c) show properties in which the buyer or tenant is interested to other prospective buyers or tenants; (d) serve a s a single agent, subagent or designated agent or broker, limited agent, disclosed dual agent for the same or for different parties in other real estate transactions.

 

5.   A transaction broker may cooperate with other brokers and such cooperation does not establish an agency or subagency relationship.

 

6.   In a transaction broker relationship each party and the transaction broker, including all persons within an entity engaged as the transaction broker if the transaction broker is an entity, are considered to possess only actual knowledge and information. There is no imputation of knowledge or information by operation of law between any party and the transaction broker or between any party and any person within an entity engaged as the transaction broker if the transaction broker is an entity.

 

7.   Nothing in § 339.755 R.S.Mo, prohibits a transaction broker for acting as a single limited agent, dual agent, or subagent whether on behalf of a buyer or seller, as long as the requirements governing disclosure of such fact are met. Nothing in § 339.755 R.S.Mo. alters or eliminates the responsibility of a broker as set forth in such statues for the conduct and actions of a licensee operating under the broker’s license.

 

8.   If any licensee who represents another party to the same transaction either solely or through affiliate licenses refuses transaction broker statutes and wants to continue an agency relationship with both parties to the transaction, such licensee shall have the right to become a designated agent or a dual agent as provided for in §§ 339.730 to 339.860 R.S.Mo.

 

9.   In any transaction a licensee may without liability withdraw from representing a client who has not consented to a conversion to transaction brokerage. Such withdrawal shall not prejudice the ability of the licensee or affiliated licensee to continue to represent the other client in the transaction or limit the licensee form representing the client who refused the transaction brokerage representation in another transaction not involving transaction brokerage.

 

DESIGNATED AGENCY

 

A designated broker entering into a limited agency agreement or written transaction brokerage agreement with a client or party for the listing or property or for the purpose of representing or assisting that person in the buying, selling, exchanging, renting, or leasing or real estate may appoint n writing affiliated licensees as designated agents or designated transaction brokers to the exclusion of all other affiliated licensees. If a designated broker has made an appointment pursuant to this section, an affiliated licensee assisting a party without a written agreement shall be presumed to be a transaction broker to the exclusion of all other affiliated licensees, unless a different brokerage relationship status has been disclosed to or established with that party. A designated broker shall both be considered to be a dual agent or transaction broker solely because such broker makes an appointment of a designated agent, except that any licensee who is not a transaction broker and who personally represents both the seller and buyer or both the landlord and tenant in a particular transaction shall be a dual agent or transaction broker and shall be required to comply with the provisions governing dual agents or transaction brokers. All designated agents or transaction brokers to the extent allow allowed by their licenses shall have the same duties and responsibilities to the client and customer pursuant to in §§ 339.730 to 339.755 R.S.Mo. as the designated broker except as provided above.

(g)       If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, with such alterations as may be approved by Lender (the “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 4.3 of this Security Instrument, except in instances where Lender has failed or elected not to disburse Net Proceeds to Borrower under such Section 4.3 (provided that such exception shall not apply if the failure to disburse is attributable to Borrower’s failure to comply with the conditions set forth in Clauses (A), (D) or (I) of Subsection 4.3(b)(i) or in Subsection 4.3(b)(ii) or any other conditions set forth in Section 4.3 which Borrower has the practical ability to satisfy). Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.

 

(h)       In the event of foreclosure of this Security Instrument, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to such policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

 

3.3       PAYMENT OF TAXES. ETC. Borrower shall promptly pay all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, governmental impositions, and other charges including, without limitation, vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the Land, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the “Taxes”), all ground

 


rents, maintenance charges and similar charges, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the “Other Charges”), and all charges for utility services provided to the Property prior to the time same become delinquent. Borrower will deliver to Lender, promptly upon Lender’s request, evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes, Other Charges and utility service charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against the Property (“Liens”). Except to the extent sums sufficient to pay all Taxes and Other Charges have been deposited with Lender in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument, Borrower shall furnish to Lender paid receipts for the payment of the Taxes and Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent. Borrower shall not be required to pay any Taxes, Other Charges or Liens so long as Borrower shall in good faith contest the same or the validity thereof by appropriate legal proceedings which shall operate to prevent the collection of the Taxes, Other Charges or Liens so contested and the sale of the Property, or any part thereof to satisfy the same, provided that borrower shall, prior to any such contest, have given such security as may be reasonably required by Lender to ensure such payments and prevent any sale or forfeiture of the Property by reason of such nonpayment. Any such contest shall be prosecuted in accordance with the laws and rules pertaining to such contests and in all events with due diligence and Borrower shall promptly after final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Tax, Other Charge or Lien so determined, together with all interest and penalties, which may be payable in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, Borrower shall (and if Borrower shall fail so to do, Lender may but shall not be required to) pay any such Taxes, Other Charges or Liens notwithstanding such contest if in the reasonable opinion of Lender, the Property shall be in jeopardy or in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed.

 

 

3.4

RESERVES.

 

(a)        Borrower shall pay to Lender on each date that a regularly scheduled payment of principal or interest is due under the Note (a) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Taxes payable, or estimated by Lender to be payable, during the next ensuing twelve (12) months and (b) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums due for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof (the amounts in (a) and (b) above shall be called the “Escrow Fund”). Borrower agrees to notify Lender immediately of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of any Taxes and Insurance Premiums of which it has obtained knowledge and authorizes Lender or its agent to obtain the bills for Taxes and Other Charges directly from the appropriate taxing authority. Borrower may, on its own behalf, also engage a third party tax service provider, so long as Lender continues to receive such bills for Taxes and Other Charges uninterrupted. The Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 hereof. If the amount of the Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 hereof, Lender shall, in its discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Escrow Fund. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If the Escrow Fund is not sufficient to pay the items set forth in (a) and (b) above, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, an amount which Lender shall estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency. The Escrow Fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. No earnings or interest on the Escrow Fund shall be payable to Borrower.

 


(b) Borrower shall comply with the Replacement Reserve and Leasing Reserve Requirements set forth on Exhibit “B” attached hereto and made a part hereof.

Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Security Instrument and the Debt shall not be reduced until any award or payment therefor shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 4.3 of this Security Instrument, except in instances where Lender has failed or elected not to disburse Net Proceeds to Borrower under such Section 4.3 (provided that such exception shall not apply if the failure to disburse is attributable to Borrower’s failure to comply with the conditions set forth in Clauses (A), (D) or (I) of Subsection 4.3(b)(i) or in Subsection 4.3(b)(ii) or any other conditions set forth in Section 4.3 which Borrower has the practical ability to satisfy). If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the award or payment, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company insuring the lien of this Security Instrument.

 

(iii)      All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and approval in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and reasonable Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

 


(iv)      In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” as used in this Subsection 4.3(b) shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Subsection 4.3(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.3(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage, provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, and the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company insuring the lien of this Security Instrument. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

 

(v)       Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

 

(vi)      If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Subsection 4.3(b) shall constitute additional security for the Obligations. With respect to Restorations following a casualty in which the Improvements are restored to substantially the same condition as they existed prior to the casualty, the excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.3(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)        All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Subsection 4.3(b)(vi) may be retained and

 


applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate, in its discretion. Provided no Event of Default exists under the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any prepayment premium or other prepayment consideration in connection with a prepayment resulting from the application of Net Proceeds to the Debt pursuant to the preceding sentence. Any such prepayment shall be applied to the principal last due under the Note and shall not release Borrower from the obligation to pay the Constant Monthly Payments (as defined in the Note) next becoming due under the Note and the Constant Monthly Payment shall not be adjusted or recalculated as a result of such partial prepayment. If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the lien of this Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt.

 

 

4.4

LOCK BOX ACCOUNT.

 

(a)        Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, provided a lock box procedure has not otherwise been instituted under any other provision of the Loan Documents, Lender shall have the right, upon written notice to Borrower to require that, from and after the next succeeding date of payment of an installment of principal and interest under the Note, all Rents with respect to the Property, at Lender’s discretion, be paid directly to the property manager for the Property (the “Manager”) and deposited daily by the Manager in the name designated by Lender directly to a designated lock box account (the “Lock Box Account”), opened by Lender at a bank (the “Lock Box Bank”), which account shall be within the exclusive control of Lender.

If in Lender’s judgment, the Manager’s performance in collecting Rents shall decline, Borrower shall irrevocably instruct and otherwise cause each party paying such Rents (including each tenant under any Lease) to make all payments (A) if by wire transfer, to the Lock Box Account, and (B) if by check, money order or similar manner of payment, by mail to a designated lock box (the “Lock Box”) within the exclusive control of Lender. Amounts deposited into the Lock-Box shall be collected and deposited daily by the Lock-Box Bank into the Lock-Box Account. Borrower agrees that if any Rents required to be deposited in the Lock Box Account shall be received by it or any affiliate or any manager of all or any portion of the Property, Borrower shall deposit or cause such Rents to be deposited in the Lock Box Account within one (1) Business Day of the receipt of such Rents by Borrower, any affiliate or any manager.

 

(c)        Amounts on deposit in the Lock Box Account on any date of payment of an installment of principal and interest under the Note shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) to pay any Taxes, Other Charges or Insurance Premiums then due and payable; (ii) to pay the Lock Box Bank’s fees; (iii) to pay interest and principal due on such date with respect to the Note; (iv) to replenish all reserves and escrow funds required to be paid by Borrower to Lender under the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents; (v) to pay normal and customary operating expenses of the Property which have been approved by Lender (which approval, if no Event of Default shall exist at the time, shall not be unreasonably withheld); and (vi) unless the Property is a multi-family, hotel, self-storage facility or nursing home property, provided no Event of Default shall exist at the time, to the Leasing Account (as

 


defined in Exhibit “B”). None of the sums contributed to the Leasing Account in accordance with (vi) above shall be counted towards any balance in the Leasing Account which serves to limit future contributions to the Leasing Account from Monthly Deposits.

 

(d)       In the event that Lender shall have the right to institute lock box procedures pursuant to any other provision of the Loan Documents, the terms and provisions of such provision shall supersede the provisions of this Section 4.4.

Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security Instrument or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 10.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note), for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender.

10.7

OTHER RIGHTS, ETC.

 

(a)        The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower’s obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower, any Guarantor or any Indemnitor to take any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.

 

(b)       It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Borrower, and Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Property, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks insured. Possession by Lender shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any Property or collateral not in Lender’s possession.

 

(c)        Trustee or Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Trustee or Lender in such order and manner as Trustee or Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Trustee or Lender thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Lender and Trustee under this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Trustee or Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Lender and Trustee shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.

 

10.8     RIGHT TO RELEASE ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. Lender may release any portion of the Property for such consideration as Lender may require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property.

 

10.9     VIOLATION OF LAWS. If the Property is not in compliance with Applicable Laws, Lender may impose additional requirements upon Borrower in connection herewith including, without limitation, monetary reserves or financial equivalents.

15. APPLICABLE LAW

 

15.1     CHOICE OF LAW. This Security Instrument shall be governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Property is located and the applicable laws of the United States of America.

 

15.2     USURY LAWS. This Security Instrument and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the Debt at a rate which could subject the holder of the Note to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Security Instrument or the Note, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Debt at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under the Security Instrument and the Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be computed at such maximum rate and all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal balance of the Note. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Debt shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding.

 

15.3     PROVISIONS SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW. All rights, powers and remedies provided in this Security Instrument may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of law and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Security Instrument invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law. If any term of this Security Instrument or any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Security Instrument and any other application of the term shall not be affected thereby.

 


 

16. SECONDARY MARKET

 

16.1     TRANSFER OF LOAN. Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (the “Securities”). Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, investor in such Securities or any rating agency (a “Rating Agency”) rating such Securities (all of the foregoing entities collectively referred to as the “Investor”) and each prospective Investor, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Debt and to Borrower, any Guarantor, any Indemnitor and the Property, whether furnished by Borrower, any Guarantor, any Indemnitor or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable. Borrower, any Guarantor and any Indemnitor agree to cooperate with Lender in connection with any transfer made or any Securities created pursuant to this Section provided such cooperation does not require Borrower to incur any material cost or expense. Borrower shall also promptly furnish and Borrower, any Guarantor and any Indemnitor consent to Lender furnishing to such Investors or such prospective Investors or Rating Agency any and all available information concerning the Property, the Leases, the financial condition of Borrower, any Guarantor and any Indemnitor as may be requested by Lender, any Investor or any prospective Investor or Rating Agency (including, but not limited to, copies of information previously supplied to Lender) in connection with any sale, transfer or participation interest. In addition to any other obligations Borrower may have under this Section 16.1, Borrower shall execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower’s organizational documents as may be requested by the holder of the Note or any Investor to effect the assignment of the Note and the other Loan Documents and/or issuance of Securities including (i) bifurcating the Note into two or more notes, and/or splitting this Security Instrument into two or more mortgages, deeds of trust or deeds to secure debt (as the case may be) of the same or different priorities or otherwise as determined by and acceptable to Lender or (ii) dividing the Note into multiple components corresponding to tranches of certificates to be issued in a Securitization each having a notional balance and an interest rate determined by Lender; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if the overall effect of such modification or amendment would (y) change the initial weighted average interest rate, the maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, or (z) modify or amend any other material economic term of the Note or the other Loan Documents.

Borrower further acknowledges and confirms that it shall be responsible for the payment of all costs of reappraisal of the Property or any part thereof, which are required by law, regulation or any governmental or quasi-governmental authority.

19.5     DUPLICATE ORIGINALS; COUNTERPARTS. This Security Instrument may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an

 


original. This Security Instrument may be executed in several counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed an original instrument and all of which together shall constitute a single Security Instrument. The failure of any party hereto to execute this Security Instrument, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder.

 

19.6     NUMBER AND GENDER. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural and vice versa.

 

19.7     SUBROGATION.

19.8     ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding and agreement between Borrower and Lender with respect to the transactions arising in connection with the Debt and supersede all prior written or oral understandings and agreements between Borrower and Lender with respect thereto.

19.9     SUBSTITUTION OF TRUSTEE. Lender shall have, and is hereby granted by Borrower with warranty of further assurances, the irrevocable power to appoint one or more persons or entities as a substitute Trustee hereunder, to be exercised at any time hereafter without specifying any reason therefor, by filing for record in the office where this Security Instrument is recorded a deed of appointment. Said power of appointment of one or more successor Trustees may be exercised as often and whenever Lender deems it advisable. The exercise of said power of appointment, no matter how often, shall not be an exhaustion thereof. Upon the recordation of such deed of appointment, the Trustee so appointed shall thereupon, without any further act or deed of conveyance, become fully vested with identically the same title and estate in and to the Property and with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of their, his, hers or its predecessor in the trust hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee. Whenever in this Security Instrument reference is made to Trustee, it shall be construed to mean each person or entity appointed as Trustee for the time being, whether original or successors or successor in trust. All title, estate, rights, powers, trusts and duties hereunder given or appertaining to or devolving upon Trustee shall be in each of the persons or entities appointed as Trustee so that any action hereunder or purporting to be hereunder of any one of the persons or entities appointed as Trustee shall for all purposes be considered to be, and as effective as, the action of Trustee.

 

19.10   THE TRUSTEE’S FEES. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Trustee’s agents and counsel in connection with the performance by the Trustee of the Trustee’s duties hereunder and all costs, fees and expenses shall be secured by this Security Instrument.

With the approval of Lender, the Trustee shall have the right to take any and all of the following actions: (i) to select, employ, and advise with counsel (who may be, but need not be, counsel for Lender) upon any matters arising hereunder, including the interpretation of the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, and shall be fully protected in relying as to legal matters on the advice of counsel, (ii) to execute any of the trusts and powers hereof and to perform any duty hereunder either directly or through his agents or attorneys, (iii) to select and employ, in and about the execution of his duties hereunder, suitable accountants, engineers and other experts, agents and attorneys-in-fact, either corporate or individual, not regularly in the employ of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for any act, default, negligence, or misconduct of any such accountant, engineer or other expert, agent or attorney-in-fact, if selected with reasonable care, or for any error of judgment or act done by the Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for the Trustee’s gross negligence or bad faith, and (iv) any and all other lawful action as Lender may instruct the Trustee to take to protect or enforce Lender’s rights hereunder. The Trustee shall not be personally liable in case of entry by the Trustee, or anyone entering by virtue of the powers herein granted to the Trustee, upon the Property for debts contracted for or liability or damages incurred in the management or operation of the Property. The Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document, or signature authorizing or supporting an action taken or proposed to be taken by the Trustee hereunder, believed by the Trustee in good faith to be genuine. The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for actual expenses incurred by the Trustee in the performance of the Trustee’s duties hereunder and to reasonable compensation for such of the Trustee’s services hereunder as shall be rendered.

 

19.12   RETENTION OF MONEY. All moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by applicable law) and the Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by the Trustee hereunder.

 

19.13   PERFECTION OF APPOINTMENT. Should any deed, conveyance, or instrument of any nature be required from Borrower by any Trustee or substitute trustee to more fully and certainly vest in and confirm to the Trustee or substitute trustee such estates rights, powers, and duties, then, upon request by the Trustee or substitute trustee, any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments shall be made, executed, acknowledged, and delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Borrower.

 

19.14   SUCCESSION INSTRUMENTS. Any substitute trustee appointed pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of its or his predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if originally named as the Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request of Lender or of the substitute trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver any instrument transferring to such substitute trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the property and moneys held by such Trustee to the substitute trustee so appointed in the Trustee’s place.

 

19.15   RELIANCE OF TRUSTEE. As to all matters concerning the existence of defaults hereunder and the amount of indebtedness subject to the Note and secured hereby, as well as similar or related matters, the Trustee is hereby authorized by Borrower to rely conclusively upon, without further inquiry, the affidavit of any officer of Lender.

 

19.16   BROKERS. Borrower agrees to pay and to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from any and all loss, cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from the claims of any

 


brokers or anyone claiming a right to any fees in connection with the financing of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges that Lender or its affiliates may have a contractual relationship with the broker, if any, that arranged the Loan on Borrower’s behalf, and that such broker may be entitled to fees from Lender or its affiliates in connection with the origination, closing or servicing of the Loan, which fees shall be in addition to any brokerage fees owed by Borrower to such broker. Borrower shall not be responsible for any such additional fees. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has made and will make such inquiries of the broker, if any, that arranged the Loan with respect to the nature or existence of such arrangement. No agreement by Lender to pay any such fees or compensation to such broker (if any) shall be binding upon Lender unless it is set forth in separate written instrument that has been duly executed by Lender and such broker.

 

20. STATE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS

 

 

20.1

FURTHER REMEDIES OF LENDER.

 

(a)        At the option of Lender, all of the Debt then outstanding and unpaid and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall become and be due and payable immediately, anything in the Note or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

(b) Upon demand of Trustee or Lender, Borrower shall forthwith surrender to Lender the actual possession of all of the Property and it shall be lawful (whether or not Borrower has so surrendered possession) for Lender, either personally or by agents or attorneys, forthwith to enter into or upon the Property and to exclude Borrower, the agents and servants of Borrower, and all parties claiming by, through or under Borrower, wholly therefrom, and Lender shall thereupon be solely and exclusively entitled to possession of said Property and every part thereof, and to use, operate, manage and control the same, either personally or by managers, agents, servants or attorneys to the fullest extent authorized by law; and upon every such entry, Lender may, from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, make all necessary and proper repairs and replacements to the Property as Lender in its reasonable discretion sees fit, and any amounts so expended shall be due on demand, bear interest at the Default Rate and shall be secured hereby.

 

(c)        Lender may make demand for and collect and receive all rents and income from the Property, including rents and income accrued but unpaid prior to the date of such default, and the receipt of Lender therefore shall be binding on Borrower with respect to the amount so paid. All sums of money received by Lender from rents and income, after deducting therefrom the reasonable charges and expenses paid or incurred in connection with the collection and disbursement thereof, shall be applied to the payment of the Debt in such order and manner as Lender may elect, or applied to remedy any Default hereunder as Lender may direct. Any lessee of the Property, or any part thereof, shall be fully protected in relying and acting upon the written statement of Lender to the effect that this Security Instrument is in default and that Lender is entitled to receive the rents and income hereunder, notwithstanding any notice to or knowledge of said lessee to the contrary. Such lessee shall have no duty to determine that any sum paid to Lender hereunder is properly applied by Lender.

 

(d)       Trustee, at the request of Lender, shall proceed to sell, either by him or by agent or attorney, the Property or any part(s) thereof at public venue or outcry at the customary place to the highest bidder for cash after first giving notice as required by the statutes of the State of Missouri and upon such sale Trustee shall receive the proceeds of such sale and shall execute and deliver a deed or deeds or other instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer to the property sold, to the purchaser or purchasers thereof.

 


 

(e)        Trustee or Lender or both may proceed by suit or suits at law or in equity to enforce the Debt and to foreclose the lien created by this Security Instrument and in such event Trustee shall be entitled to a reasonable fee for his services, and Trustee and Lender shall be entitled to be reimbursed for their respective attorneys’ fees and for all other expenses, costs and outlays.

 

(f)        Lender shall be entitled as a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver of the Property, without notice and without regard to the solvency or insolvency of Borrower at the time of the application for such receiver, and without regard to the then value of the Property, and Trustee, or Lender, may be appointed as such receiver. Such receiver shall have full power to (i) collect the rents, issues and profits from the Property, (ii) construct or complete the construction of any improvements on the Property, (iii) exercise any right or remedy granted to Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to completion of any work to the Property, and (iv) all other powers necessary or incidental for the protection, possession, control, development, management, leasing and operation of the Property.

 

20.2     FURTHER WAIVER BY BORROWER. Borrower hereby expressly waives any right which Borrower may have to direct the order in which any of the Property shall be sold in the event of any sale or sales pursuant hereto.

 

20.3      DUTIES AND SUBSTITUTION OF TRUSTEE. Borrower agrees that: (a) the duties and obligations of Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Security Instrument and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth herein, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be imposed upon Trustee; (b) no provision of this Security Instrument shall require Trustee to expend or risk its own funds, or otherwise incur any financial obligation in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it; (c) Trustee may consult with counsel of its own choosing and the advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; and (d) Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Security Instrument. Trustee hereby agrees with Lender that Trustee will act for a nominal consideration in routine matters (e.g., execution of partial release of security, extension agreements, modification agreements or satisfactions) with respect to this Security Instrument. In the event of foreclosure, Trustee will serve for a Trustee’s commission in an amount to be agreed upon and mutually satisfactory to Trustee and to Lender. If Lender determines that there shall be a substitute Trustee for any reason, Trustee will supply a recordable resignation at the request of Lender. The Lender may remove the Trustee at any time or from time to time, with or without cause, and appoint a successor trustee, and upon such appointment, all powers, rights, duties and authority of the Trustee, as aforesaid, shall thereupon become vested in such successor. Such substitute trustee shall be appointed by written instrument duly recorded in the county or counties where the real property covered hereby is located, which appointment may be executed by any authorized agent of the Lender or in any other manner permitted by applicable law. It is agreed that Trustee shall not be disqualified from acting as trustee hereunder or from performing any of the duties of the trustee, or from exercising the rights, powers and remedies herein granted, by reason of the fact that Trustee is an attorney, agent, officer, employee or stockholder of Lender or is otherwise affiliated with Lender in any respect. Upon any trustee’s sale, Trustee shall execute and deliver a deed or deeds of conveyance of the Property sold to the purchasers thereof, and any statement or recital or fact in such deed shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of such statement or recital, and Trustee shall pay the proceeds thereof in accordance with the terms hereof. The Lender shall have the right and power

 


successively to remove the above named Trustee or any successor Trustee and to appoint by writing (acknowledged and recorded) a successor to such Trustee, which successor shall succeed to the title and to all of the rights and powers of the original Trustee.

 

 

20.4

RIGHTS PERTAMING TO SALES

 

(a)        In any sale or sales made by Trustee under the power herein granted, or upon any sale or sales under or by virtue of any judicial proceedings: (i) the whole of the Property, real, personal and mixed, may be sold in one parcel as an entirety, or the Property may be sold in separate parcels as may be determined by Trustee in his discretion; (ii) all recitals contained in any deed or other instrument of conveyance, assignment or transfer made and delivered by Trustee in pursuance of the powers granted and conferred herein, shall be prima facie evidence of the facts therein set forth; (iii) such sale or sales shall operate to divest Borrower of all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, under statute or otherwise, in and to the Property and every part thereof so sold and shall be a perpetual bar, both in law or equity, against Borrower and any and all persons claiming or to claim from, through or under Borrower; and (iv) Lender may bid for and purchase the Property or any part thereof and may make payment therefore by presenting to Trustee the Note secured hereby or the other evidences of the Debt so that there may be endorsed as paid thereon the amount of such bid which is to be applied to payment of the Debt as herein provided. Each time it shall become necessary to insert an advertisement of foreclosure, and sale is not had, Trustee shall be entitled to receive the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) for services and the amount of all advertising charges from Borrower, all of which shall be further secured hereby. Upon the foreclosure and sale of the Property, or any part thereof, the proceeds of such sale or sales shall be applied as follows: First, to the cost and expense of executing this trust, including without limitation, reasonable compensation of Trustee and Attorneys’ Fees and expenses, outlays for documentary stamps, cost of procuring title insurance commitments, continuing abstracts, title searches or examinations reasonably necessary or proper; and, next, to the payment of any and all advances made by Trustee or Lender, with interest thereon as hereinabove provided; next to the payment of the balance of the Debt, with interest thereon as provided in the Note; and any surplus thereafter shall be paid to Borrower or any other party legally entitled thereto; provided that in the event the net proceeds of such sale or sales shall not be sufficient to satisfy in full the Debt, Borrower hereby promises and agrees to pay any deficiency thereon on demand with interest at the Default Rate.

 

(b)       Borrower shall not apply for or avail itself of any appraisement, valuation, redemption, stay, extension or exemption Laws, or any so-called “moratorium laws”, now existing or hereafter enacted, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Security Instrument, and Borrower hereby waives the benefit of such Laws. Borrower, for itself, its successors and assigns, hereby wholly waives the period of redemption and any right of redemption provided under any existing or future Law in the event of a foreclosure of this Security Instrument. Borrower, for itself and all who may claim through or under it, hereby waives any and all right to have the property and estates comprising the Property marshaled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and hereby agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may order the Property sold as an entirety. Borrower hereby waives any order or decree of foreclosure, pursuant to the rights herein granted, on behalf of Borrower, and each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property, subsequent to the date of this Security Instrument, and on behalf of all other persons to the extent permitted by any Applicable Law.

 

20.5     TRUSTEE’S APPOINTMENT. The Trustee may resign at any time by written instrument to that effect delivered to Lender. Lender shall be entitled to remove, at any time and from time to time, the Trustee. In case of the death, removal, resignation, refusal to act or otherwise being unable to act of the Trustee, Lender shall be entitled to select and appoint a successor Trustee hereunder

 


by an instrument duly executed, acknowledged and recorded in the manner and form for conveyances of real estate in the State of Missouri, and any such successor Trustee shall thereupon succeed to Trustee as Trustee hereunder and to all of the rights, powers, duties, obligations and estate of said Trustee as if specifically named herein, provided no defect or irregularity in the resignation or removal of said Trustee or in the appointment of a successor Trustee or in the execution and recording of such instrument shall affect the validity of said resignation, removal or appointment or any act or thing done by such successor Trustee pursuant thereto. Trustee shall not be disqualified from acting as Trustee hereunder or from performing any of the duties of Trustee, or from exercising the rights, powers and remedies herein granted, by reason of the fact that Trustee is an officer, employee or stockholder of Lender, or is interested, directly or indirectly, as the holder of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby expressly consenting to Trustee acting as Trustee irrespective of the fact that Trustee might be otherwise disqualified for any of the foregoing reasons, and that any interest which Trustee or any successor shall have or may acquire in the Debt, or the Property, shall neither interfere with nor prevent his acting as Trustee or from purchasing said property at said sale or sales, and all parties waive any objection to Trustee having or acquiring any such interest in the Debt or Property and continuing to act as Trustee. Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee hereunder, believed by Trustee in good faith to be genuine. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by law), and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by Trustee hereunder. Borrower shall protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Trustee and his heirs, successors and assigns (the “indemnified parties”) from and against any and all demands, losses, obligations, damages, claims, liabilities, suits, causes of action, judgments, settlements, fines, charges, penalties, costs and expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and’ disbursements), of any type or nature whatsoever, which may be imposed on, or incurred by or asserted against any of the indemnified parties arising or resulting from or by reason of (whether directly or indirectly): (a) any misrepresentation or breach of covenant or warranty of Borrower herein or in the other Loan Instruments; (b) any Event of Default; (c) any personal injury, death or property damage arising out of the ownership, the use or occupation of the Property; (d) any condition of the Property, including without limitation, those conditions regulated by environmental, health, and/or safety saws, rules, regulations, ordinances or codes; (e) any damage or destruction of the Property or any portions thereof; (f) any condemnation or other taking of the Property or any portion thereof; (g) any Liens; or (h) any transaction in any way connected with the Property or the Loan Documents; provided, however, that Borrower shall not indemnify the Lender for any liability, loss or damage which the Lender may incur as a result of (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or its agents, employees, contractors or assigns, or (ii) matters first arising after Lender or its agents, employees, or assignees acquire title to the Property or after Lender or any such other parties acquire possession of the Property-as a mortgagee in possession or otherwise. The indemnities given herein and imposed hereby shall survive payment in full of the Debt, and the release, termination or foreclosure of this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents.

EXHIBIT “B”

 

REPLACEMENT RESERVE AND LEASING RESERVE REQUIREMENTS

 

 

1.

Defined Terms.

 

All capitalized terms used herein and not defined in the Security Instrument shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7 of this Exhibit “B.” To the extent any Reserve Deposit is assigned the meaning “none” in the Reserve Letter, the provisions set forth in this Exhibit “B” specifically relating to the making or application of such Reserve Deposits shall be disregarded.

 

 

2.

Reserve Deposits.

 

(a)        Concurrently with the execution of this Security Instrument, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the Deferred Maintenance Deposit. The Deferred Maintenance Deposit shall be applied as provided in Section 4.1 of this Exhibit “B.”

 

(b)       On the date hereof and on each date that a regularly scheduled payment of principal or interest is due under the Note, Borrower shall be required to make a Monthly Deposit.

 

(c)        Lender shall deposit each Monthly Deposit, as received, in an escrow account (the “Reserve”). Out of each Monthly Deposit, the Monthly Replacement Account Deposit shall be allocated to an account (the “Replacement Account”) for the payment of Replacements and the Monthly Leasing Account Deposit shall be allocated to an account (the “Leasing Account”) for the payment of Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions (as defined below) in conjunction with Leases (as hereinafter defined). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided in Section 6 of this Exhibit B, Borrower shall not be required to make (i) the portion of the Monthly Deposit to be allocated to the Leasing Account at any time where the balance in the Leasing Account is equal to or greater than $30,456.00, or (ii) the portion of the Monthly Deposit to be allocated to the Replacement Account at any time where the balance in the Replacement Account is equal to or greater than $8,715.96.

 

(d)       Lender shall maintain a record of all deposits into and withdrawals from the Reserve and their allocation to the Replacement Account and the Leasing Account. Lender or a designated representative of Lender shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from such account.

 

(e)        No interest shall be paid on the Deferred Maintenance Deposit. Provided Borrower pays the account fees set forth below, the Reserve shall be held in an interest bearing account. Lender shall have no responsibility or liability for the amount of interest earned on the Reserve. All interest earned on funds in the Reserve shall be added to and become part of the Reserve, shall be allocated pro rata to the Replacement Account and the Leasing Account, and shall be for the benefit of Borrower, subject to Lender’s rights pursuant to the terms of this Security Instrument. In order for the Reserve to bear interest, Borrower shall be required to pay a one-time set-up fee on the date hereof of Three Hundred Fifty and 00/100 Dollars ($350.00) and an additional fee of Six Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($600.00) on January 2 of each calendar year after the date hereof.

 

 

3.

Disbursements.

 

 


(a)        Provided no Event of Default exists, Lender shall make disbursements of funds available in the Replacement Account to reimburse Borrower for Replacements.

 

(b)       Provided no Event of Default exists, Lender shall make disbursements of funds in the Leasing Account to reimburse Borrower for the cost of (i) tenant improvements required under any Lease (collectively, the “Tenant Improvements”); and (ii) leasing commissions incurred by Borrower in connection with any Lease, provided that (x) such leasing commissions are reasonable and customary for properties similar to the Property and the portion of the Property for which such leasing commission is due, (y) the amount of such leasing commissions are determined pursuant to arms length transactions between Borrower and any leasing agent to which a leasing commission is due, and excluding any leasing commissions which shall be due any general partner, or shareholder of Borrower or any affiliate of Borrower, and (z) the Tenant under the related Lease shall have taken occupancy of its entire leased premises and commenced the payment of its entire base minimum rent (collectively, “Leasing Commissions”).

 

(c)        Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 3, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Reserve necessary to reimburse Borrower for the actual costs of (i) any Leasing Commissions and (ii) any work relating to Replacements or Tenant Improvements (collectively, “Work”).

 

(d)       Each request for disbursement from the Reserve shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender, and shall be accompanied by evidence of the full performance of the obligations of the leasing agent or satisfactory completion of the Work, as the case may be, and such bills, invoices and other evidence of the incurrence of the related costs and expenses as Lender may reasonably request.

 

(e)        Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Reserve more frequently than once in any calendar quarter.

 

(f)        Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Reserve in an amount less than the lesser of (i) Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000.00), and (ii) the total cost of the Replacement, Tenant Improvement or Leasing Commission for which the disbursement is requested.

 

 

4.

Performance of Replacements.

 

(a)        Deferred Maintenance. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower agrees to perform all of the Scheduled Repairs within the period of time, if any, set forth in the Escrow Agreement (Renovation Improvements) dated as of even date herewith between Lender and Borrower and as referenced in the Reserve Letter. In the event that the Borrower shall not complete the Scheduled Repairs within such period of time the Borrower shall pay to the servicer administering the Deferred Maintenance Deposit the sum of $150.00 per month until the Scheduled Repairs are completed and approved. The payment of such sums shall not be deemed to extend the period of time allowed herein for completion of the Scheduled Repairs. Such sum is intended to reimburse the servicer for the costs incurred in administering the deposit. The Deferred Maintenance Deposit shall be used solely for the payment of the actual costs of the Scheduled Repairs. Upon completion of the Scheduled Repairs in accordance with the Escrow Agreement (Renovation Improvements), the portion of the Deferred Maintenance Deposit remaining undisbursed, if any, shall be disbursed to Borrower. All other conditions, covenants and agreements set forth herein with respect to a disbursement from the Replacement Account shall apply to the disbursements from the Deferred Maintenance Deposit.

 


(b)       Entry, Onto Property: Inspections. Lender may inspect the Property in connection with any Work prior to disbursing funds from the Reserve with respect thereto. In connection with any Work that is (i) a structural repair or improvement, (ii) a replacement or repair of a major component or element of any part of the Property or (iii) Scheduled Repairs, Lender may require, at Borrower’s expense, one or more inspections and/or certificates of completion by an appropriate independent, qualified professional (e.g., architect, engineer, consultant) approved by Lender. In addition to Lender’s costs and expenses, Borrower shall pay Lender a reasonable inspection fee, provided, however, such fees shall not exceed Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($500.00), in the aggregate, in any calendar year.

 

 

5.

Borrower’s Records.

 

Borrower shall furnish such financial statements, invoices, records, papers and documents relating to the Property as Lender may reasonably require from time to time to make the determinations permitted or required to be made by Lender with respect to disbursements of the Deferred Maintenance Deposit and/or the Reserve.

 

6.         Insufficiency of Reserve Balances, Temporary Deferral of Monthly Deposits. The insufficiency of any balance in the Reserve or the Deferred Maintenance Deposit shall not abrogate Borrower’s agreement to fulfill its obligations contained in this Security Instrument. In the event Lender determines that (i) the balance in the Reserve is less than the current estimated cost to complete the Work and pay the Leasing Commissions which Borrower, in the prudent operation of the Property can reasonably be anticipated to incur during the succeeding twenty-four (24) months, or (ii) the balance of the Deferred Maintenance Deposit is less than the amount necessary to complete the Scheduled Repairs, Borrower shall deposit the shortage within ten (10) days of request by Lender. In the event Lender determines from time to time based on Lender’s inspections that the amount of the Monthly Deposit is insufficient to fund the cost of likely Work and Leasing Commissions and related contingencies that may arise during the remaining term of the Loan, Lender may require an increase in the amount of the Monthly Deposits upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Borrower. Lender may approve a temporary deferral or a reduction in the amount of the Monthly Deposit; provided, however, that if Lender approves either a temporary deferral or reduction in the amount of the Monthly Deposit, such action by Lender shall not prevent Lender from requiring Borrower to resume payment of the Monthly Deposits on any date that Lender may deem appropriate.

(a)       The whole of the principal sum of this Note, (b) interest, default interest, late charges and other sums, as provided in this Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, (c) all other monies agreed or provided to be paid by Borrower in this Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, (d) all sums advanced pursuant to the Security Instrument to protect and preserve the Property and the lien and the security interest created thereby, and (e) all sums advanced and costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Debt (defined below) or any part thereof, any renewal, extension, or change of or substitution for the Debt or any part thereof, or the acquisition or perfection of the security therefor, whether made or incurred at the request of Borrower or Lender (all the sums referred to in (a) through (e) above shall collectively be referred to as the “Debt”) shall without notice become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender if any payment required in this Note prior to the Maturity Date is not paid on the date when due or on the happening of any other default, after the expiration of any applicable notice and grace periods, herein or under the terms of the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents (collectively, an “Event of Default”).

 

4.

DEFAULT INTEREST

 

Borrower does hereby agree that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall be entitled to receive and Borrower shall pay interest on the entire unpaid principal sum at a rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to (i) the greater of (a) the Applicable Interest Rate plus three percent (3%) and (b) the Prime Rate (as hereinafter defined) plus four percent (4%) or (ii) the maximum interest rate that Borrower may by law pay, whichever is lower. The Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of the date upon which the Event of Default is cured or the date upon which the Debt is paid in full. Interest calculated at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, and shall be deemed secured by the Security Instrument. This provision, however, shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date

 


of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default.

 

The “Prime Rate” shall mean the annual rate of interest publicly announced by Citibank, N.A. in New York, New York, as its base rate, as such rate shall change from time to time. If Citibank, N.A. ceases to announce a base rate, Prime Rate shall mean the rate of interest published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time as the Prime Rate. If more than one Prime Rate is published in The Wall Street Journal for a day, the average of the Prime Rates shall be used, and such average shall be rounded up to the nearest one-quarter of one percent (.25%). If The Wall Street Journal ceases to publish the “Prime Rate”, the Lender shall select an equivalent publication that publishes such “Prime Rate”, and if such prime rates are no longer generally published or are limited, regulated or administered by a governmental or quasigovernmental body, then Lender shall select a comparable interest rate index.

 

5.

PREPAYMENT; DEFEASANCE

 

(a)       Borrower shall not have the right or privilege to prepay all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note until the Monthly Payment Date which is three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date. From and after such date, provided no Event of Default exists, the principal balance of this Note may be prepaid, in whole but not in part, upon: (i) not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice (the “Prepayment Notice”) to Lender specifying the scheduled payment date on which prepayment is to be made (the “Prepayment Date”); (ii) payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note to and including the Prepayment Date together with a payment of all interest which would have accrued on the principal balance of this Note to and including the last day of the Accrual Period in which the Prepayment Date occurs, if such prepayment occurs on a date which is not the eleventh (11th) day of a calendar month (the “Shortfall Interest Payment”); and (iii) payment of all other sums then due under this Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the principal balance of this Note unless it is accompanied by all sums due in connection therewith.

 

(b)

 

(i)        At any time from and after the Lockout Period Expiration Date and provided no Event of Default exists at the time, Borrower may obtain the release of the Property from the lien of the Security Instrument upon the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

 

 

(1)

Borrower shall have provided Lender with not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior written notice specifying the date (the “Release Date”) on which the Defeasance Deposit (hereinafter defined) is to be made;

 


 

(2)

Borrower shall have paid to Lender all interest accrued and unpaid on the principal balance of this Note to and including the Release Date;

 

 

(3)

Borrower shall have paid to Lender all other sums due and payable under this Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents through and including the Release Date (including, but not limited to, any Constant Monthly Payment which may he due and payable on the Release Date);

 

 

(4)

Borrower shall have paid to Lender the Defeasance Deposit (hereinafter defined);

 

 

(5)

The transactions contemplated by this Section 5(b) shall not cause the Loan to lose its status as a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Sections 860D and 860G(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor statute thereto; and

 

(6) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender the following:

a security agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, creating a first priority lien on the Defeasance Deposit and the Government Securities (hereinafter defined) purchased on behalf of Borrower with the Defeasance Deposit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(b) (the “Pledge Agreement”), which Pledge Agreement shall provide, among other things, that any excess payments of principal and interest received by Lender under the Government Securities over the amount needed to make payments of principal and interest and other sums due from Borrower hereunder shall be refunded to Borrower;

 

 

(B)

a release of the Property from the lien of the Security Instrument (for execution by Lender) in a form appropriate for the jurisdiction in which the Property is located;

 

 

(C)

an officer’s certificate of Borrower certifying that the requirements set forth in this Section 5(b) have been satisfied;

 

 

(D)

a certificate by Borrower’s independent public accountant certifying that the cash flow from the Government Securities will be sufficient to timely meet all Scheduled Defeasance Payments;

 


 

(E)

an opinion of counsel for Borrower in form satisfactory to Lender stating, among other things, that Lender will have a perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Deposit and the Government Securities to be purchased on behalf of Borrower;

 

 

(F)

evidence in writing from the applicable Rating Agencies (as defined in the Security Instrument) to the effect that such release will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating in effect immediately prior to such defeasance for any Securities (as defined in the Security Instrument) if the Defeasance Deposit is to be used to purchase Non-U.S. Treasury Obligations (as hereinafter defined); and

 

 

(G)

such other certificates, documents or instruments as Lender may reasonably request.

 

The Defeasance Deposit shall be used to purchase Government Securities which provide payments which are (A) payable on or prior to, but as close as possible to, all successive Monthly Payment Dates after the Release Date and the Maturity Date and (B) in amounts necessary to meet the scheduled payments of principal and interest due under this Note on such dates (the “Scheduled Defeasance Payments”). Borrower, pursuant to the Pledge Agreement or other appropriate documents, shall authorize and direct that the payments received from the Government Securities be made directly to Lender and applied to satisfy the obligations of the Borrower under this Note.

 

(ii)       Upon compliance with the requirements of this Section 5(b), the Property shall be released from the lien of the Security Instrument and the pledged Defeasance Deposit and the Government Securities purchased therewith shall be the sole source of collateral securing this Note. In connection with such release, Lender, or its designee, shall establish or designate a successor entity (the “Successor Borrower”) and Borrower shall transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and to this Note together with the Pledge Agreement and the pledged Defeasance Deposit and/or Government Securities to such Successor Borrower. At the time of such release, such Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations of Borrower under this Note and the Pledge Agreement, Borrower shall be relieved of its rights and obligations thereunder, and all references to Borrower herein or in the Pledge Agreement shall be deemed to refer to Successor Borrower.

(2)

The term “Government Securities” shall mean (A) U.S. Treasury Obligations and (B) Won-U.S. Treasury Obligations;

 

 

(3)

The term “U.S. Treasury Obligations” shall mean direct, non-callable, fixed rate obligations of the United States of America; and

 

 

(4)

The term “Non-U.S. Treasury Obligations” shall mean non-callable, fixed rate obligations, other than U.S. Treasury Obligations, that are “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

(iv)      Following the delivery of the Defeasance Deposit to Lender, Borrower shall not have any right to prepay this Note.

 

(c)       Simultaneously with each Default Repayment (defined herein) occurring prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the greater of: (A) three ‘(3%) percent of the principal amount of this Note being prepaid; and (B) the present value of a series of payments each equal to the Payment Differential (hereinafter defined) and payable on each Monthly Payment Date over the remaining original term of this Note and on the Maturity Date discounted at the Reinvestment Yield (hereinafter defined) for the number of months remaining from the date of the Default Repayment (the “Repayment Date”) to each such Monthly Payment Date and the Maturity Date. The term “Reinvestment Yield” as used herein shall be equal to the lesser of (a) the (i) yield on the U.S. Treasury issue (primary issue) with the same maturity date as the Maturity Date; or (ii) if no such U.S. Treasury issue is available, then the interpolated yield on the two U.S. Treasury issues (primary issues) with maturity dates (one prior to and one following) that are closest to the Maturity Date; or (b) the (i) yield on the U.S. Treasury issue (primary issue) with a term equal to the remaining average life of the Debt, or (ii) if no such U.S. Treasury issue is available, then the interpolated yield on the two U.S. Treasury issues (primary issues) with terms (one prior to and one following) that are closest to the remaining average life of the Debt, with each such yield being based on the bid price for such issue as published in The Wall Street Journal on the date that is 14 days prior to the Repayment Date (or, if such bid price is not published on

 


that date, the next preceding date on which such bid price is so published) and converted to a monthly compounded nominal yield. The term “Payment Differential” as used herein shall be equal to (x) the Applicable Interest Rate minus the Reinvestment Yield, divided by (y) 12 and multiplied by (z) the principal sum being repaid on such Repayment Date after application of the Constant Monthly Payment (if any) due on the date of the Default Repayment, provided that the Payment Differential shall in no event be less than zero. In no event, however, shall Lender be required to reinvest any repayment proceeds in U.S. Treasury obligations or otherwise.

 

For purposes of this Note, the term “Default Repayment” shall mean a repayment of all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note made during the continuance of any Event of Default or after an acceleration of the Maturity Date under any circumstances, including, without limitation, a repayment occurring in connection with reinstatement of the Security Instrument provided by statute under foreclosure proceedings or exercise of a power of sale, any statutory right of redemption exercised by Borrower or any other party having a statutory right to redeem or prevent foreclosure, any sale in foreclosure or under exercise of a power of sale or otherwise.

All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Debt, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding.

 

 


8.

LATE CHARGE

 

If any sum payable under this Note is not paid on the date on which it is due, regardless of whether such failure shall constitute an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of the unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to defray the expenses incurred by Lender in handling and processing the delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of the delinquent payment and the amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

 

9.

NO ORAL CHANGE

 

This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.

No notice to or demand on Borrower shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation of Borrower or of the right of Lender to take further action without further notice or demand as provided for in this Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. In addition, acceptance by Lender of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and the failure to pay the entire amount then due shall be and continue to be an Event of Default. If Borrower is a partnership, the agreements herein contained shall remain in force and applicable, notwithstanding any changes in the individuals comprising the partnership, and the term “Borrower,” as used herein, shall

 


include any alternate or successor partnership, but any predecessor partnership and their partners shall not thereby be released from any liability.

(c)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the agreement of Lender not to pursue recourse liability as set forth in Subsection (a) above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect (i) in the event of Borrower’s default under Sections 4.2 or 8.2 of the Security Instrument, or (ii) if the Property or any part thereof shall become an asset in (1) a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or (2) an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding (A) which is commenced by any party controlling, controlled by or under common control with Borrower (which shall include, but not be limited to, any creditor or claimant acting in concert with Borrower or any of the foregoing parties) (the “Borrowing Group”) or (B) in which any member of the Borrowing Group objects to a motion by Lender for relief from any stay or injunction from the foreclosure of the Security Instrument or any other remedial action permitted hereunder or under the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, or (iii) if a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the granting, execution or delivery of the Security Instrument or any other Loan Documents is or constitutes a fraudulent conveyance under any bankruptcy, insolvency or fraudulent conveyance law or is otherwise voidable under any such laws.

 

(d)       Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Lender may have under Sections 506(a), 506(b), 111l(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with this Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

In the event of a Default described in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d), Owner may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to Manager. In the event of a Default described in clause (d), this Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the first to occur of the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy, the date of insolvency of Manager or the date of any assignment for the benefit of creditors of Manager. In the event of a Default described in clause (e), Owner shall notify Manager that this Agreement shall terminate if such Default is not cured within fifteen (15) days of such notice and shall describe the Default in such notice sufficiently for Manager to identify and cure the Default. If cure of such Default requires more than fifteen (15) days and Manager has commenced and thereafter diligently continues its efforts to cure such breach, then such fifteen-day period shall be extended for the reasonable amount of time needed to complete such efforts. If Manager fails to cure such breach within the required period, this Agreement shall terminate at the end of such period. Failure of Owner to give notice to Manager for Manager’s Default hereunder shall not constitute a waiver by Owner of its rights and remedies against Manager.

 

10.2     Termination Without Default. Owner shall also have the right to terminate this Agreement in the absence of Default at any time upon not less than thirty (30) days written notice to Manager.

 

10.3     Termination by Manager. Manager shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days written notice to Owner. Manager shall also have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice to Owner for non-payment of fees and expenses due Manager under the terms of this Agreement

 

10.4     Final Accounting. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Owner shall pay Manager an amount equal to the Management Fee due Manager, prorated to the date of termination, less any amounts which may be due Owner from Manager; and Manager shall deliver to Owner the following: (a) a final accounting, setting forth the balance of income and expenses on the Property as of the date of

 


termination, delivered within thirty (30) days after termination; (b) any balance or monies of Owner or tenant security deposits held by Manager with respect to the Property, delivered immediately upon termination; and (c) all materials and supplies, keys, books and records, contracts, leases, receipts for deposits, unpaid bills and other papers or documents which pertain to the Property, delivered within fifteen (15) days after termination.

 

For a period of sixty (60) days after such expiration or cancellation, Manager shall be available, through its senior executives familiar with the Property, to consult with and advise Owner or any person or entity succeeding to Owner as owner of the Property or such other person or persons selected by Owner regarding the operation and maintenance of the Property. In addition, Manager shall cooperate with Owner in notifying all tenants of the Property of the expiration and termination of this Agreement, and shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Owner to accomplish an orderly transfer of the operation and management of the Property to a party designated by Owner. Manager shall, at its cost and expense, promptly remove all signs wherever located indicating that it is the manager and replace and repair any damage resulting therefrom. Termination of this Agreement shall not release either party from liability for failure to perform any of the duties or obligations as expressed herein and required to be performed by such party for the period prior to the termination.

 

Provisions of this Agreement that by their nature require a party to perform an obligation after termination in order to fulfil such obligation with respect to the period prior to termination shall survive the termination of this Agreement until fully performed.

 

ARTICLE 11. LENDER APPROVAL

 

11.1     Lender Approval. This Agreement may be subject to approval by lender(s) or lienholder(s) on the Property. If such an approval is required, this Agreement shall not go into effect until such approval is obtained. Manager agrees to use its best effects to assist and cooperate with the Owner in obtaining such approval.

 

ARTICLE 12. CONFLICTS

 

12.1     Conflicts. Manager shall not deal with or engage, or purchase goods or services from any affiliate or any company in which Manager or an affiliate has a financial interest, in connection with the management of the Property, without Owner’s prior written approval.

FHLMC Loan No. 940972379

GUARANTY

MULTISTATE

(for use in all jurisdictions except California)

REVISION DATE 05/06/05

 

This Guaranty ("Guaranty") is entered into to be effective as of October 4, 2006, by the undersigned person(s) (the "Guarantor" jointly and severally if more than one), for the benefit of NorthMarq Capital, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the "Lender").

 

RECITALS

 

A.        Cascade Joint Venture, L.P., a Kansas limited partnership (the “Borrower”) has requested that Lender make a loan to Borrower in the amount of $2,540,000.00 (the "Loan"). The Loan will be evidenced by a Multifamily Note from Borrower to Lender dated effective as of the effective date of this Guaranty (the "Note"). The Note will be secured by a Multifamily Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement dated effective as of the effective date of the Note (the "Security Instrument"), encumbering the Mortgaged Property described in

the Security Instrument.

 

B.        As a condition to making the Loan to Borrower, Lender requires that the Guarantor execute this Guaranty.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Lender to make the Loan to Borrower, and in consideration thereof, Guarantor agrees as follows:

 

1.

Defined Terms. "Indebtedness," "Loan Documents" and "Property Jurisdiction" and other capitalized terms used but not defined in this Guaranty shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Security Instrument.

 

2.

Scope of Guaranty.

 

 

(a)

Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender:

 

 

(i)

the full and prompt payment when due, whether at the Maturity Date or earlier, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of each of the following:

 

 

(A)

a portion of the Indebtedness equal to zero percent (0%) of the original principal balance of the Note (the "Base Guaranty"); and

 

 

(B)

in addition to the Base Guaranty, all other amounts for which Borrower is personally liable under Sections 9(c), 9(d) and 9(f) of the Note; and

 

 

 


 

(C)

all costs and expenses, including reasonable Attorneys' Fees and Costs incurred by Lender in enforcing its rights under this Guaranty; and

 

 

(ii)

the full and prompt payment and performance when due of all of Borrower's obligations under Section 18 of the Security Instrument.

 

 

(b)

If the Base Guaranty stated in Section 2(a)(i)(A) is 100 percent of the original principal balance of the Note, then (i) the Base Guaranty shall mean and include the full and complete guaranty of payment of the entire Indebtedness and the performance of all Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents: and (ii) for so long as the Base Guaranty remains in effect (there being no limit to the duration of the Base Guaranty unless otherwise expressly provided in this Guaranty), the obligations guaranteed pursuant to Sections 2(a)(i)(B), 2(a)(i)(C) and Section 3 shall be part of, and not in addition to or in limitation of, the Base Guaranty.

 

If the Base Guaranty stated in Section 2(a)(i)(A) is less than 100 percent of the original principal balance of the Note, then this Section 2(b) shall be completely inapplicable and shall be treated as if not a part of this Guaranty.

 

 

(c)

If Guarantor is not liable for the entire Indebtedness, then all payments made by Borrower with respect to the Indebtedness and all amounts received by Lender from the enforcement of its rights under the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents (except this Guaranty) shall be applied first to the portion of the Indebtedness for which neither Borrower nor Guarantor has personal liability.

 

3.

Additional Guaranty Relating to Bankruptcy.

 

 

(a)

Notwithstanding any limitation on liability provided for elsewhere in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender the full and prompt payment when due, whether at the Maturity Date or earlier, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, the entire Indebtedness, in the event that:

 

 

(i)

Borrower voluntarily files for bankruptcy protection under the United States Bankruptcy Code; or

 

 

(ii)

Borrower voluntarily becomes subject to any reorganization, receivership, insolvency proceeding, or other similar proceeding pursuant to any other federal or-state law affecting debtor and-creditor rights; or

 

 

(iii)

an order of relief is entered against Borrower pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code or other federal or state law affecting debtor and creditor rights in any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding initiated or joined in by a "Related Party."

 

 

PAGE 2

 


 

(b)

For purposes of this Section, the term "Related Party" means:

 

 

(i)

Borrower or Guarantor; and

 

 

(ii)

any person or entity that holds, directly or indirectly, any ownership interest in or right to manage Borrower or Guarantor, including without limitation, any shareholder, member or partner of Borrower or Guarantor; and

 

 

(iii)

any person or entity in which any ownership interest (direct or indirect) or right to manage is held by Borrower, Guarantor or any partner, shareholder or member of, or any other person or entity holding an interest in, Borrower or Guarantor; and

 

 

(iv)

any other creditor of Borrower that is related by blood, marriage or adoption to Borrower, Guarantor or any partner, shareholder or member of, or any other person or entity holding an interest in, Borrower or Guarantor.

 

 

(c)

If Borrower, Guarantor or any Related Party has solicited creditors to initiate or participate in any proceeding referred to in this Section, regardless of whether any of the creditors solicited actually initiates or participates in the proceeding, then such proceeding shall be considered as having been initiated by a Related Party.

 

4.

Guarantor's Obligations Survive Foreclosure. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall survive any foreclosure proceeding, any foreclosure sale, any delivery of any deed in lieu of foreclosure, and any release of record of the Security Instrument, and, in addition, the obligations of Guarantor relating to Borrower's obligations under Section 18 of the Security Instrument shall survive any repayment or discharge of the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lender has never been a mortgagee-in-possession of or held title to the Mortgaged Property, Guarantor shall have no obligation under this Guaranty relating to Borrower's obligations under Section 18 of the Security Instrument after the date of the release of record of the lien of the Security Instrument as a result of the payment in full of the Indebtedness on the Maturity Date or by voluntary prepayment in full.

 

5.

Guaranty of Payment and Performance. Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty constitute an unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not merely a guaranty of collection.

 

6.

No Demand by Lender Necessary; Waivers by Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be performed without demand by Lender and shall be unconditional regardless of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Note, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document, and without regard to any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety, a guarantor, a borrower or a mortgagor. Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

 

PAGE 3

 


 

(a)

the benefit of all principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Guaranty and agrees that Guarantor's obligations shall not be affected by any circumstances, whether or not referred to in this Guaranty, which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety, a guarantor, a borrower or a mortgagor;

 

 

(b)

the benefits of any right of discharge under any and all statutes or other laws relating to a guarantor, a surety, a borrower or a mortgagor, and any other rights of a surety, a guarantor, a borrower or a mortgagor under such statutes or laws;

 

 

(c)

diligence in collecting the Indebtedness, presentment, demand for payment, protest, all notices with respect to the Note and this Guaranty which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve Lender's rights against Guarantor under this Guaranty, including, but not limited to, notice of acceptance, notice of any amendment of the Loan Documents, notice of the occurrence of any default or Event of Default, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, notice of foreclosure, notice of protest, and notice of the incurring by Borrower of any obligation or indebtedness;

 

 

(d)

all rights to cause a marshalling of the Borrower's assets or to require Lender to:

 

 

(i)

proceed against Borrower or any other guarantor of Borrower's payment or performance under the Loan Documents (an "Other Guarantor");

 

 

(ii)

proceed against any general partner of Borrower or any Other Guarantor if Borrower or any Other Guarantor is a partnership;

 

 

(iii)

proceed against or exhaust any collateral held by Lender to secure the repayment of the Indebtedness; or

 

 

(iv)

pursue any other remedy it may now or hereafter have against Borrower, or, if Borrower is a partnership, any general partner of Borrower;

 

 

(e)

any right to object to the timing, manner or conduct of Lender's enforcement of its rights under any of the Loan Documents; and

 

 

(f)

any right to revoke this Guaranty as to any future advances by Lender under the

terms of the Security Instrument to protect Lender's interest in the Mortgaged Property.

 

7.

Modification of Loan Documents. At any time or from time to time and any number of times, without notice to Guarantor and without affecting the liability of Guarantor, Lender may:

 

 

(a)

extend the time for payment of the principal of or interest on the Indebtedness or renew the Indebtedness in whole or in part;

 

 

PAGE 4

 


 

(b)

extend the time for Borrower's performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement contained in the Note, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, whether presently existing or hereinafter entered into, or waive such performance or compliance;

 

 

(c)

accelerate the Maturity Date of the Indebtedness as provided in the Note, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document;

 

 

(d)

with Borrower, modify or amend the Note, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document in any respect, including, but not limited to, an increase in the principal amount; and/or

 

 

(e)

8.

Joint and Several Liability. The obligations of Guarantor (and each party named as a Guarantor in this Guaranty) and any Other Guarantor shall be joint and several. Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may:

 

 

(a)

bring suit against Guarantor, or any one or more of the parties named as a Guarantor in this Guaranty, and any Other Guarantor, jointly and severally, or against any one or more of them;

 

 

(b)

compromise or settle with Guarantor, any one or more of the parties named as a Guarantor in this Guaranty, or any Other Guarantor, for such consideration as Lender may deem proper;

 

 

(c)

release one or more of the parties named as a Guarantor in this Guaranty, or any Other Guarantor, from liability; and

 

 

(d)

otherwise deal with Guarantor and any Other Guarantor, or any one or more of them, in any manner, and no such action shall impair the rights of Lender to collect from Guarantor any amount guaranteed by Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

9.

Subordination of Borrower's Indebtedness to Guarantor. Any indebtedness of Borrower held by Guarantor now or in the future is and shall be subordinated to the Indebtedness and Guarantor shall collect, enforce and receive any such indebtedness of Borrower as trustee for Lender, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to prepare and file financing statements, continuation statements and financing statement amendments in such form as Lender may require to perfect or continue the perfection of this security interest and Borrower agrees, if Lender so requests, to execute and deliver to Lender such financing statements, continuation statements and amendments. Borrower shall pay all filing costs and all costs and expenses of any record searches for financing statements and/or amendments that Lender may require. Without the prior written

PAGE 7

 


(c)        If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, in addition to all remedies provided by this Instrument or existing under applicable law. In exercising any remedies, Lender may exercise its remedies against the UCC Collateral separately or together, and in any order, without in any way affecting the availability of Lender’s other remedies.

 

(d)       This Instrument constitutes a financing statement with respect to any part of the Mortgaged Property that is or may become a Fixture, if permitted by applicable law.

 

3.         ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS; APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER; LENDER IN POSSESSION.

 

(a)        As part of the consideration for the Indebtedness, Borrower absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all Rents. It is the intention of Borrower to establish a present, absolute and irrevocable transfer and assignment to Lender of all Rents and to authorize and empower Lender to collect and receive all Rents without the necessity of further action on the part of Borrower. Promptly upon request by Lender, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver such further assignments as Lender may from time to time require. Borrower and Lender intend this assignment of Rents to be immediately effective and to constitute an absolute present assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. For purposes of giving effect to this absolute assignment of Rents, and for no other purpose, Rents shall not be deemed to be a part of the Mortgaged Property. However, if this present, absolute and unconditional assignment of Rents is not enforceable by its terms under the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, then the Rents shall be included as a part of the Mortgaged Property and it is the intention of the Borrower that in this circumstance this Instrument create and perfect a lien on Rents in favor of Lender, which lien shall be effective as of the date of this Instrument.

 

(b)       After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower authorizes Lender to collect, sue for and compromise Rents and directs each tenant of the Mortgaged Property to pay all Rents to, or as directed by, Lender. However, until the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender hereby grants to Borrower a revocable license to collect and receive all Rents, to hold all Rents in trust for the benefit of Lender and to apply all Rents to pay the installments of interest and principal then due and payable under the Note and the other amounts then due and payable under the other Loan Documents, including Imposition Deposits, and to pay the current costs and expenses of managing, operating and maintaining the Mortgaged Property, including utilities, Taxes and insurance premiums (to the extent not included in Imposition Deposits), tenant improvements and other capital expenditures. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Rents remaining after application pursuant to the preceding sentence may be retained by Borrower free and clear of, and released from, Lender’s rights with respect to Rents under this Instrument. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and without the necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining control of the Mortgaged Property directly, or by a receiver, Borrower’s license to collect Rents shall automatically terminate and Lender shall without Notice be entitled to all Rents as they become due and payable, including Rents then due and unpaid. Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand all Rents to which Lender is entitled. At any time on or after the date of Lender’s demand for Rents, (i) Lender may give, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to give, notice to all tenants of the Mortgaged

 

PAGE 8

 


Property instructing them to pay all Rents to Lender, (ii) no tenant shall be obligated to inquire further as to the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, and (iii) no tenant shall be obligated to pay to Borrower any amounts which are actually paid to Lender in response to such a notice. Any such notice by Lender shall be delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or by delivering such demand to each rental unit. Borrower shall not interfere with and shall cooperate with Lender’s collection of such Rents.

 

(c)        Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that Borrower has not executed any prior assignment of Rents (other than an assignment of Rents securing any prior indebtedness that is being assigned to Lender, or paid off and discharged with the proceeds of the loan evidenced by the Note), that Borrower has not performed, and Borrower covenants and agrees that it will not perform, any acts and has not executed, and shall not execute, any instrument which would prevent Lender from exercising its rights under this Section 3, and that at the time of execution of this Instrument there has been no anticipation or prepayment of any Rents for more than two months prior to the due dates of such Rents. Borrower shall not collect or accept payment of any Rents more than two months prior to the due dates of such Rents.

 

(d)       If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may, regardless of the adequacy of Lender’s security or the solvency of Borrower and even in the absence of waste, enter upon and take and maintain full control of the Mortgaged Property in order to perform all acts that Lender in its discretion determines to be necessary or desirable for the operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property, including the execution, cancellation or modification of Leases, the collection of all Rents, the making of repairs to the Mortgaged Property and the execution or termination of contracts providing for the management, operation or maintenance of the Mortgaged Property, for the purposes of enforcing the assignment of Rents pursuant to Section 3(a), protecting the Mortgaged Property or the security of this instrument, or for such other purposes as Lender in its discretion may deem necessary or desirable. Alternatively, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, regardless of the adequacy of Lender’s security, without regard to Borrower’s solvency and without the necessity of giving prior notice (oral or written) to Borrower, Lender may apply to any court having jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property to take any or all of the actions set forth in the preceding sentence. If Lender elects to seek the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower, by its execution of this Instrument, expressly consents to the appointment of such receiver, including the appointment of a receiver exparte if permitted by applicable law. Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee for managing the Mortgaged Property. Immediately upon appointment of a receiver or immediately upon the Lender’s entering upon and taking possession and control of the Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, and shall deliver to Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, all documents, records (including records on electronic or magnetic media), accounts, surveys, plans, and specifications relating to the Mortgaged Property and all security deposits and prepaid Rents. In the event Lender takes possession and control of the Mortgaged Property, Lender may exclude Borrower and its representatives from the Mortgaged Property. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the exercise by Lender of any of the rights conferred under this Section 3 shall not be construed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession of the Mortgaged Property so long as Lender has not itself entered into actual possession of the Land and Improvements.

(e)        If Lender enters the Mortgaged Property, Lender shall be liable to account only to Borrower and only for those Rents actually received. Except to the extent of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lender shall not be liable to Borrower, anyone claiming under or through Borrower or anyone having an interest in the Mortgaged Property, by reason of any act or omission of Lender under Section 3(d), and Borrower hereby releases and discharges Lender from any such liability to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

(f)        If the Rents are not sufficient to meet the costs of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged Property and collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Lender for such purposes shall become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 12.

 

(g)       Any entering upon and taking of control of the Mortgaged Property by Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, and any application of Rents as provided in this Instrument shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or invalidate any other right or remedy of Lender under applicable law or provided for in this Instrument.

 

4.         ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES; LEASES AFFECTING THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY.

 

(a)        As part of the consideration for the Indebtedness, Borrower absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Leases, including Borrower’s right, power and authority to modify the terms of any such Lease, or extend or terminate any such Lease. It is the intention of Borrower to establish a present, absolute and irrevocable transfer and assignment to Lender of all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Leases. Borrower and Lender intend this assignment of the Leases to be immediately effective and to constitute an absolute present assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. For purposes of giving effect to this absolute assignment of the Leases, and for no other purpose, the Leases shall not be deemed to be a part of the Mortgaged Property. However, if this present, absolute and unconditional assignment of the Leases is not enforceable by its terms under the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, then the Leases shall be included as a part of the Mortgaged Property and it is the intention of the Borrower that in this circumstance this Instrument create and perfect a lien on the Leases in favor of Lender, which lien shall be effective as of the date of this Instrument.

 

(b)       Until Lender gives Notice to Borrower of Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section 4, Borrower shall have all rights, power and authority granted to Borrower under any Lease (except as otherwise limited by this Section or any other provision of this Instrument), including the right, power and authority to modify the terms of any Lease or extend or terminate any Lease. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the permission given to Borrower pursuant to the preceding sentence to exercise all rights, power and authority under Leases shall automatically terminate. Borrower shall comply with and observe Borrower’s obligations under all Leases, including Borrower’s obligations pertaining to the maintenance and disposition of tenant security deposits.

 

 

PAGE 10

 


(c)        Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the exercise by Lender, either directly or by a receiver, of any of the rights conferred under this Section 4 shall not be construed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession of the Mortgaged Property so long as Lender has not itself entered into actual possession of the Land and the Improvements. The acceptance by Lender of the assignment of the Leases pursuant to Section 4(a) shall not at any time or in any event obligate Lender to take any action under this Instrument or to expend any money or to incur any expenses. Except to the extent of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lender shall not be liable in any way for any injury or damage to person or property sustained by any person or persons, firm or corporation in or about the Mortgaged Property. Prior to Lender’s actual entry into and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property, Lender shall not (i) be obligated to perform any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in any Lease (or otherwise have any obligation with respect to any Lease); (ii) be obligated to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Lease or the Mortgaged Property; or (iii) be responsible for the operation, control, care, management or repair of the Mortgaged Property or any portion of the Mortgaged Property. The execution of this Instrument by Borrower shall constitute conclusive evidence that all responsibility for the operation, control, care, management and repair of the Mortgaged Property is and shall be that of Borrower, prior to such actual entry and taking of possession.

 

(d)       Upon delivery of Notice by Lender to Borrower of Lender’s exercise of Lender’s rights under this Section 4 at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and without the necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining control of the Mortgaged Property directly, by a receiver, or by any other manner or proceeding permitted by the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, Lender immediately shall have all rights, powers and authority granted to Borrower under any Lease, including the right, power and authority to modify the terms of any such Lease, or extend or terminate any such Lease.

 

(e)        Borrower shall, promptly upon Lender’s request, deliver to Lender an executed copy of each residential Lease then in effect. All Leases for residential dwelling units shall be on forms approved by Lender, shall be for initial terms of at least six months and not more than two years, and shall not include options to purchase. If Borrower is a cooperative housing corporation, association or other validly organized entity under municipal, county, state or federal law, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, so long as Borrower is not in breach of any covenant of this Instrument, Lender hereby consents to the execution of leases of apartments for a term in excess of two years from Borrower to a tenant shareholder of Borrower, to the surrender or termination of such leases of apartments where the surrendered or terminated lease is immediately replaced or where the Borrower makes its best efforts to secure such immediate replacement by a newly executed lease of the same apartment to a tenant shareholder of the Borrower. However, no consent is hereby given by Lender to any execution, surrender, termination or assignment of a lease under terns that would waive or reduce the obligation of the resulting tenant shareholder under such lease to pay cooperative assessments in full when due or the obligation of the former tenant shareholder to pay any unpaid portion of such assessments.

 

(f)        Borrower shall not lease any portion of the Mortgaged Property for non-residential use except with the prior written consent of Lender and Lender’s prior written approval of the Lease agreement. Borrower shall not modify the terms of, or extend or terminate, any Lease for non-residential use (including any Lease in existence on the date of this Instrument) without

 

PAGE 11

 


the prior written consent of Lender. However, Lender’s consent shall not be required for the modification or extension of a non-residential Lease if such modification or extension is on terms at least as favorable to Borrower as those customary at that time in the applicable market and the income from the extended or modified Lease will not be less than the income received from the Lease as of the date of this Instrument. Borrower shall, without request by Lender, deliver an executed copy of each non-residential Lease to Lender promptly after such Lease is signed. All non-residential Leases, including renewals or extensions of existing Leases, shall specifically provide that (i) such Leases are subordinate to the lien of this Instrument; (ii) the tenant shall attorn to Lender and any purchaser at a foreclosure sale, such attornment to be self-executing and effective upon acquisition of title to the Mortgaged Property by any purchaser at a foreclosure sale or by Lender in any manner; (iii) the tenant agrees to execute such further evidences of attornment as Lender or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale may from time to time request; (iv) the Lease shall not be terminated by foreclosure or any other transfer of the Mortgaged Property; (v) after a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property, Lender or any other purchaser at such foreclosure sale may, at Lender’s or such purchaser’s option, accept or terminate such Lease; and (vi) the tenant shall, upon receipt after the occurrence of an Event of Default of a written request from Lender, pay all Rents payable under the Lease to Lender.

 

(g)       Borrower shall not receive or accept Rent under any Lease (whether residential or non-residential) for more than two months in advance.

 

5.         PAYMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS; PERFORMANCE UNDER LOAN DOCUMENTS; PREPAYMENT PREMIUM. Borrower shall pay the Indebtedness when due in accordance with the terms of the Note and the other Loan Documents and shall perform, observe and comply with all other provisions of the Note and the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall pay a prepayment premium in connection with certain prepayments of the Indebtedness, including a payment made after Lender’s exercise of any right of acceleration of the Indebtedness, as provided in the Note.

 

6.         EXCULPATION. Borrower’s personal liability for payment of the Indebtedness and for performance of the other obligations to be performed by it under this Instrument is limited. in the manner, and to the extent, provided in the Note.

 

 

7.

DEPOSITS FOR TAXES, INSURANCE AND OTHER CHARGES.

 

(a)        Unless this requirement is waived in writing by Lender, which waiver may be contained in this Section 7(a), Borrower shall deposit with Lender on the day monthly installments of principal or interest, or both, are due under the Note (or on another day designated in writing by Lender), until the Indebtedness is paid in full, an additional amount sufficient to accumulate with Lender the entire sum required to pay, when due, the items marked “Collect” below. Lender will not require the Borrower to make Imposition Deposits with respect to the items marked “Deferred” below.

 

 

[Collect]

Hazard Insurance premiums or other insurance premiums required by Lender under Section 19,

 

 

PAGE 12

 


 

[Collect]

Taxes,

[Deferred]

water and sewer charges (that could become a lien on the Mortgaged Property),

[N/A]

ground rents,

[Deferred]

assessments or other charges (that could become a lien on the Mortgaged Property)

                

The amounts deposited under the preceding sentence are collectively referred to in this Instrument as the “Imposition Deposits.” The obligations of Borrower for which the Imposition Deposits are required are collectively referred to in this Instrument as “Impositions.” The amount of the Imposition Deposits shall be sufficient to enable Lender to pay each Imposition before the last date upon which such payment may be made without any penalty or interest charge being added. Lender shall maintain records indicating how much of the monthly Imposition Deposits and how much of the aggregate Imposition Deposits held by Lender are held for the purpose of paying Taxes, insurance premiums and each other Imposition.

 

(b)       Imposition Deposits shall be held in an institution (which may be Lender, if Lender is such an institution) whose deposits or accounts are insured or guaranteed by a federal agency. Lender shall not be obligated to open additional accounts or deposit Imposition Deposits in additional institutions when the amount of the Imposition Deposits exceeds the maximum amount of the federal deposit insurance or guaranty. Lender shall apply the Imposition Deposits to pay Impositions so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Unless applicable law requires, Lender shall not be required to pay Borrower any interest, earnings or profits on the Imposition Deposits. As additional security for all of Borrower’s obligations under this Instrument and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and grants to Lender a security interest in the Imposition Deposits and all proceeds of, and all interest and dividends on, the Imposition Deposits. Any amounts deposited with Lender under this Section 7 shall not be trust funds, nor shall they operate to reduce the Indebtedness, unless applied by Lender for that purpose under Section 7(e).

 

(c)        If Lender receives a bill or invoice for an Imposition, Lender shall pay the Imposition from the Imposition Deposits held by Lender. Lender shall have no obligation to pay any Imposition to the extent it exceeds Imposition Deposits then held by Lender. Lender may pay an Imposition according to any bill, statement or estimate from the appropriate public office or insurance company without inquiring into the accuracy of the bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of the Imposition.

 

(d)       If at any time the amount of the Imposition Deposits held by Lender for payment of a specific Imposition exceeds the amount reasonably deemed necessary by Lender, the excess shall be credited against future installments of Imposition Deposits. If at any time the amount of the Imposition Deposits held by Lender for payment of a specific Imposition is less than the amount reasonably estimated by Lender to be necessary, Borrower shall pay to Lender the amount of the deficiency within 15 days after Notice from Lender.

 

 

PAGE 13

 


(e)        If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply any Imposition Deposits, in any amounts and in any order as Lender determines, in Lender’s discretion, to pay any Impositions or as a credit against the Indebtedness. Upon payment in full of the Indebtedness, Lender shall refund to Borrower any Imposition Deposits held by Lender.

 

(f)        If Lender does not collect an Imposition Deposit with respect to an Imposition either marked “Deferred” in Section 7(a) or pursuant to a separate written waiver by Lender, then on or before the date each such Imposition is due, or on the date this Instrument requires each such Imposition to be paid, Borrower must provide Lender with proof of payment of each such Imposition for which Lender does not require collection of Imposition Deposits. Lender may revoke its deferral or waiver and require Borrower to deposit with Lender any or all of the Imposition Deposits listed in Section 7(a), regardless of whether any such item is marked “Deferred” in such section, upon Notice to Borrower, (i) if Borrower does not timely pay any of the Impositions, (ii) if Borrower fails to provide timely proof to Lender of such payment, or (iii) at any time during the existence of an Event of Default.

 

(g)       In the event of a Transfer prohibited by or requiring Lender’s approval under Section 21, Lender’s waiver of the collection of any Imposition Deposit in this Section 7 may be modified or rendered void by Lender at Lender’s option by Notice to Borrower and the transferee(s) as a condition of Lender’s approval of such Transfer.

 

8.         COLLATERAL AGREEMENTS. Borrower shall deposit with Lender such amounts as may be required by any Collateral Agreement and shall perform all other obligations of Borrower under each Collateral Agreement.

 

9.         APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. If at any time Lender receives, from Borrower or otherwise, any amount applicable to the Indebtedness which is less than all amounts due and payable at such time, then Lender may apply that payment to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender, in Lender’s discretion. Neither Lender’s acceptance of an amount that is less than all amounts then due and payable nor Lender’s application of such payment in the manner authorized shall constitute or be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction. Notwithstanding the application of any such amount to the Indebtedness, Borrower’s obligations under this Instrument and the Note shall remain unchanged.

 

10.       COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Borrower shall comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of any Governmental Authority and all recorded lawful covenants and agreements relating to or affecting the Mortgaged Property, including all laws, ordinances, regulations, requirements and covenants pertaining to health and safety, construction of improvements on the Mortgaged Property, fair housing, disability accommodation, zoning and land use, and Leases. Borrower also shall comply with all applicable laws that pertain to the maintenance and disposition of tenant security deposits. Borrower shall at all times maintain records sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the provisions of this Section 10. Borrower shall take appropriate measures to prevent, and shall not engage in or knowingly permit, any illegal activities at the Mortgaged Property that could endanger tenants or visitors, result in damage to the Mortgaged Property, result in forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property, or otherwise

 

PAGE 14

 


materially impair the lien created by this Instrument or Lender’s interest in the Mortgaged Property. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been or will be purchased with the proceeds of any illegal activity.

 

11.       USE OF PROPERTY. Unless required by applicable law, Borrower shall not (a) allow changes in the use for which all or any part of the Mortgaged Property is being used at the time this Instrument was executed, except for any change in use approved by Lender, (b) convert any individual dwelling units or common areas to commercial use, (c) initiate a change in the zoning classification of the Mortgaged Property or acquiesce without Notice to and consent of Lender in a change in the zoning classification of the Mortgaged Property, (d) establish any condominium or cooperative regime with respect to the Mortgaged Property, (e) combine all or any part of the Mortgaged Property with all or any part of a tax parcel which is not part of the Mortgaged Property, or (f) subdivide or otherwise split any tax parcel constituting all or any part of the Mortgaged Property without the prior consent of Lender.

 

12.       PROTECTION OF LENDER’S SECURITY; INSTRUMENT SECURES FUTURE ADVANCES.

 

(a)        If Borrower fails to perform any of its obligations under this Instrument or any other Loan Document, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which purports to affect the Mortgaged Property, Lender’s security or Lender’s rights under this Instrument, including eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, civil or criminal forfeiture, enforcement of Hazardous Materials Laws, fraudulent conveyance or reorganizations or proceedings involving a bankrupt or decedent, then Lender at Lender’s option may make such appearances, file such documents, disburse such sums and take such actions as Lender reasonably deems necessary to perform such obligations of Borrower and to protect Lender’s interest, including (i) payment of Attorneys’ Fees and Costs, (ii) payment of fees and out-of-pocket expenses of accountants, inspectors and consultants, (iii) entry upon the Mortgaged Property to make repairs or secure the Mortgaged Property, (iv) procurement of the insurance required by Section 19, and (v) payment of amounts which Borrower has failed to pay under Sections 15 and 17.

 

(b)       Any amounts disbursed by Lender under this Section 12, or under any other provision of this Instrument that treats such disbursement as being made under this Section 12, shall be secured by this Instrument, shall be added to, and become part of, the principal component of the Indebtedness, shall be immediately due and payable and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement until paid at the “Default Rate,” as defined in the Note.

 

(c)        Nothing in this Section 12 shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action.

 

 

13.

INSPECTION.

 

(a)        Lender, its agents, representatives, and designees may make or cause to be made entries upon and inspections of the Mortgaged Property (including environmental inspections and tests) during normal business hours, or at any other reasonable time, upon reasonable notice to Borrower if the inspection is to include occupied residential units (which notice need not be in

 

PAGE 15

 


writing). Notice to Borrower shall not be required in the case of an emergency, as determined in Lender’s discretion, or when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

(b)       If Lender determines that Mold has developed as a result of a water intrusion event or leak, Lender, at Lender’s discretion, may require that a professional inspector inspect the Mortgaged Property as frequently as Lender determines is necessary until any issue with Mold and its cause(s) are resolved to Lender’s satisfaction. Such inspection shall be limited to a visual and olfactory inspection of the area that has experienced the Mold, water intrusion event or leak. Borrower shall be responsible for the cost of such professional inspection and any remediation deemed to be necessary as a result of the professional inspection. After any issue with Mold, water intrusion or leaks is remedied to Lender’s satisfaction, Lender shall not require a professional inspection any more frequently than once every three years unless Lender is otherwise aware of Mold as a result of a subsequent water intrusion event or leak.

 

(c)        If Lender or Loan Servicer determines not to conduct an annual inspection of the Mortgaged Property, and in lieu thereof Lender requests a certification, Borrower shall be prepared to provide and must actually provide to Lender a factually correct certification each year that the annual inspection is waived to the following effect:

 

Borrower has not received any written complaint, notice, letter or other written communication from tenants, management agent or governmental authorities regarding odors, indoor air quality, mold, fungus, microbial contamination or pathogenic organisms (“Mold”) or any activity, condition, event or omission that causes or facilitates the growth of Mold on or in any part of the Mortgaged Property or if Borrower has received any such written complaint, notice, letter or other written communication that Borrower has investigated and determined that no Mold activity, condition or event exists or alternatively has fully and properly remediated such activity, condition, event or omission in compliance with the Moisture Management Plan for the Mortgaged Property. If Borrower is unwilling or unable to provide such certification, Lender may require a professional inspection of the Mortgaged Property at Borrower’s expense.

 

 

14.

BOOKS AND RECORDS; FINANCIAL REPORTING.

 

(a)        Borrower shall keep and maintain at all times at the Mortgaged Property or the management agent’s office, and upon Lender’s request shall make available at the Mortgaged Property (or, at Borrower’s option, at the management agent’s office), complete and accurate books of account and records (including copies of supporting bills and invoices) adequate to reflect correctly the operation of the Mortgaged Property, and copies of all written contracts, Leases, and other instruments which affect the Mortgaged Property. The books, records, contracts, Leases and other instruments shall be subject to examination and inspection by Lender at any reasonable time.

 

(b)       Within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower, Borrower shall furnish to Lender a statement of income and expenses for Borrower’s operation of the Mortgaged

 

PAGE 16

 


Property for that fiscal year, a statement of changes in financial position of Borrower relating to the Mortgaged Property for that fiscal year and, when requested by Lender, a balance sheet showing all assets and liabilities of Borrower relating to the Mortgaged Property as of the end of that fiscal year. If Borrower’s fiscal year is other than the calendar year, Borrower must also submit to Lender a year-end statement of income and expenses within 120 days after the end of the calendar year.

 

(c)        Within 120 days after the end of each calendar year, and at any other time, upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall furnish to Lender each of the following. However, Lender shall not require any of the following more frequently than quarterly except when there has been an Event of Default and such Event of Default is continuing, in which case Lender may, upon written request to Borrower, require Borrower to furnish any of the following more frequently:

 

 

(i)

a rent schedule for the Mortgaged Property showing the name of each tenant, and for each tenant, the space occupied, the lease expiration date, the rent payable for the current month, the date through which rent has been paid, and any related information requested by Lender;

 

 

(ii)

an accounting of all security deposits held pursuant to all Leases, including the name of the institution (if any) and the names and identification numbers of the accounts (if any) in which such security deposits are held and the name of the person to contact at such financial institution, along with any authority or release necessary for Lender to access information regarding such accounts; and

 

 

(iii)

a statement that identifies all owners of any interest in Borrower and any Controlling Entity and the interest held by each (unless Borrower or any Controlling Entity is a publicly-traded entity in which case such statement of ownership shall not be required), if Borrower or a Controlling Entity is a corporation, all officers and directors of Borrower and the Controlling Entity, and if Borrower or a Controlling Entity is a limited liability company, all managers who are not members.

 

(d)       At any time upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall furnish to Lender each of the following. However, Lender shall not require any of the following more frequently than quarterly except when there has been an Event of Default and such Event of Default is continuing, in which case Lender may require Borrower to furnish any of the following more frequently:

 

 

(i)

a balance sheet, a statement of income and expenses for Borrower and a statement of changes in financial position of Borrower for Borrower’s most recent fiscal year;

 

 

(ii)

a quarterly or year-to-date income and expense statement for the

Mortgaged Property; and

 

 

PAGE 17

 


 

(iii)

a monthly property management report for the Mortgaged Property, showing the number of inquiries made and rental applications received from tenants or prospective tenants and deposits received from tenants and any other information requested by Lender.

 

(e)        Upon Lender’s request at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall furnish to Lender monthly income and expense statements and rent schedules for the Mortgaged Property.

 

(f)        An individual having authority to bind Borrower shall certify each of the statements, schedules and reports required by Sections 14(b) through 14(e) to be complete and accurate. Each of the statements, schedules and reports required by Sections 14(b) through 14(e) shall be in such form and contain such detail as Lender may reasonably require. Lender also may require that any of the statements, schedules or reports listed in Section 14(b) and 14(c)(i) and (ii) be audited at Borrower’s expense by independent certified public accountants acceptable to Lender, at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or at any time that Lender, in its reasonable judgment, determines that audited financial statements are required for an accurate assessment of the financial condition of Borrower or of the Mortgaged Property.

 

(g)       f Borrower fails to provide in a timely manner the statements, schedules and reports required by Sections 14(b) through (e), Lender shall give Borrower Notice specifying the statements, schedules and reports required by Section 14(b) through (e) that Borrower has failed to provide. If Borrower has not provided the required statements, schedules and reports within 10 Business Days following such Notice, then Lender shall have the right to have Borrower’s books and records audited, at Borrower’s expense, by independent certified public accountants selected by Lender in order to obtain such statements, schedules and reports, and all related costs and expenses of Lender shall become immediately due and payable and shall become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 12. Notice to Borrower shall not be required in the case of an emergency, as determined in Lender’s discretion, or when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

(h)       If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall deliver to Lender upon written demand all books and records relating to the Mortgaged Property or its operation.

 

 

(i)

Borrower authorizes Lender to obtain a credit report on Borrower at any time.

 

 

15.

TAXES; OPERATING EXPENSES.

 

(a)        Subject to the provisions of Section 15(c) and Section 1 S(d), Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes when due and before the addition of any interest, fine, penalty or cost for nonpayment.

 

(b)       Subject to the provisions of Section 15(c), Borrower shall (i) pay the expenses of operating, managing, maintaining and repairing the Mortgaged Property (including utilities,

 

 

PAGE 18

 


 

repairs and replacements) before the last date upon which each such payment may be made without any penalty or interest charge being added, and (ii) pay insurance premiums at least 30 days prior to the expiration date of each policy of insurance, unless applicable law specifies some lesser period.

 

(c)        If Lender is collecting Imposition Deposits, to the extent that Lender holds sufficient Imposition Deposits for the purpose of paying a specific Imposition, then Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such Imposition, so long as no Event of Default exists and Borrower has timely delivered to Lender any bills or premium notices that it has received. If an Event of Default exists, Lender may exercise any rights Lender may have with respect to Imposition Deposits without regard to whether Impositions are then due and payable. Lender shall have no liability to Borrower for failing to pay any Impositions to the extent that (i) any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) insufficient Imposition Deposits are held by Lender at the time an Imposition becomes due and payable or (iii) Borrower has failed to provide Lender with bills and premium notices as provided above.

 

(d)       Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceedings, conducted diligently and in good faith, the amount or validity of any Imposition other than insurance premiums, if (i) Borrower notifies Lender of the commencement or expected commencement of such proceedings, (ii) the Mortgaged Property is not in danger of being sold or forfeited, (iii) if Borrower has not already paid the Imposition, Borrower deposits with Lender reserves sufficient to pay the contested Imposition, if requested by Lender, and (iv) Borrower furnishes whatever additional security is required in the proceedings or is reasonably requested by Lender.

 

(e)        Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a copy of all notices of, and invoices for, Impositions, and if Borrower pays any Imposition directly, Borrower shall furnish to Lender on or before the date this Instrument requires such Impositions to be paid, receipts evidencing that such payments were made.

 

16.       LIENS; ENCUMBRANCES. Borrower acknowledges that, to the extent provided in Section 21, the grant, creation or existence of any mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt, security interest or other lien or encumbrance (a “Lien”) on the Mortgaged Property (other than the lien of this Instrument) or on certain ownership interests in Borrower, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, and whether or not such Lien has priority over the lien of this Instrument, is a “Transfer’ which constitutes an Event of Default and subjects Borrower to personal liability under the Note.

 

 

17.

(b)

Borrower shall not abandon the Mortgaged Property.

 

(c)        Borrower shall restore or repair promptly, in a good and workmanlike manner, any damaged part of the Mortgaged Property to the equivalent of its original condition, or such other condition as Lender may approve in writing, whether or not insurance proceeds or condemnation awards are available to cover any costs of such restoration or repair; however, Borrower shall not be obligated to perform such restoration or repair if (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) Lender has elected to apply any available insurance proceeds and/or condemnation awards to the payment of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 19(h)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v), or pursuant to Section 20.

(f)        Borrower shall give Notice to Lender of and, unless otherwise directed in writing by Lender, shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Mortgaged Property, Lender’s security or Lender’s rights under this Instrument. Borrower shall not (and shall not permit any tenant or other person to) remove, demolish or alter the Mortgaged Property or any part of the Mortgaged Property, including any removal, demolition or alteration occurring in connection with a rehabilitation of all or part of the Mortgaged Property, except (i) in connection with the replacement of tangible Personalty, (ii) if Borrower is a cooperative housing corporation, to the extent permitted with respect to individual dwelling units under the form of proprietary lease or occupancy agreement and (iii) repairs and replacements in connection with making an individual unit ready for a new occupant.

 

(g)       Unless otherwise waived by Lender in writing, Borrower must have or must establish and must adhere to the MMP. If the Borrower is required to have an MMP, the Borrower must keep all MMP documentation at the Mortgaged Property or at the management agent’s office and available for the Lender or the Loan Servicer to review during any annual assessment or other inspection of the Mortgaged Property that is required by Lender.

Conditions.”

 

(b)       Prohibited Activities or Conditions shall not include lawful conditions permitted by an O&M Program or the safe and lawful use and storage of quantities of (i) pre-packaged supplies, cleaning materials and petroleum products customarily used in the operation and maintenance of comparable multifamily properties, (ii) cleaning materials, personal grooming items and other items sold in pre-packaged containers for consumer use and used by tenants and occupants of residential dwelling units in the Mortgaged Property; and (iii) petroleum products used in the operation and maintenance of motor vehicles from time to time located on the Mortgaged Property’s parking areas, so long as all of the foregoing are used, stored, handled, transported and disposed of in compliance with Hazardous Materials Laws.

 

(c)        Borrower shall take all commercially reasonable actions (including the inclusion of appropriate provisions in any Leases executed after the date of this Instrument) to prevent its employees, agents, and contractors, and all tenants and other occupants from causing or permitting any Prohibited Activities or Conditions. Borrower shall not lease or allow the sublease or use of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property to any tenant or subtenant for nonresidential use by any user that, in the ordinary course of its business, would cause or permit any Prohibited Activity or Condition.

 

(d)       As required by Lender, Borrower shall also have established a written operations and maintenance program with respect to certain Hazardous Materials. Each such operations and maintenance program and any additional or revised operations and maintenance programs

 

 

PAGE 21

 


established for the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Section 18 must be approved by Lender and shall be referred to herein as an “O&M Program.” Borrower shall comply in a timely manner with, and cause all employees, agents, and contractors of Borrower and any other persons present on the Mortgaged Property to comply with each O&M Program. Borrower shall pay all costs of performance of Borrower’s obligations under any O&M Program, and Lender’s out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the monitoring and review of each O&M Program and Borrower’s performance shall be paid by Borrower upon demand by Lender. Any such out-of-pocket costs of Lender that Borrower fails to pay promptly shall become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 12.

 

(e)        Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that, except as previously disclosed by Borrower to Lender in writing (which written disclosure may be in certain environmental assessments and other written reports accepted by Lender in connection with the funding of the Indebtedness and dated prior to the date of this Instrument):

 

 

(i)

Borrower has not at any time engaged in, caused or permitted any Prohibited Activities or Conditions on the Mortgaged Property;

 

 

(ii)

to the best of Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, no Prohibited Activities or Conditions exist or have existed on the Mortgaged Property;

 

 

(iii)

the Mortgaged Property does not now contain any underground storage tanks, and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, the Mortgaged Property has not contained any underground storage tanks in the past. If there is an underground storage tank located on the Mortgaged Property that has been previously disclosed by Borrower to Lender in writing, that tank complies with all requirements of Hazardous Materials Laws;

 

 

(iv)

to the best of Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, Borrower has complied with all Hazardous Materials Laws, including all requirements for notification regarding releases of Hazardous Materials. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower has obtained all Environmental Permits required for the operation of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Hazardous Materials Laws now in effect and all such Environmental Permits are in full force and effect;

 

 

(v)

to the best of Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, no event has occurred with respect to the Mortgaged Property that constitutes, or with the passing of time or the giving of notice would constitute, noncompliance with the terms of any Environmental Permit;

 

 

 

PAGE 22

 


 

(vi)

there are no actions, suits, claims or proceedings pending or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, threatened that involve the Mortgaged Property and allege, arise out of, or relate to any Prohibited Activity or Condition; and

 

 

(vii)

Borrower has not received any written complaint, order, notice of violation or other communication from any Governmental Authority with regard to air emissions, water discharges, noise emissions or Hazardous Materials, or any other environmental, health or safety matters affecting the Mortgaged Property or any other property of Borrower that is adjacent to the Mortgaged Property.

 

(f)        Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

 

(i)

Borrower’s discovery of any Prohibited Activity or Condition;

 

 

(ii)

Borrower’s receipt of or knowledge of any written complaint, order, notice of violation or other communication from any tenant, management agent, Governmental Authority or other person with regard to present or future alleged Prohibited Activities or Conditions, or any other environmental, health or safety matters affecting the Mortgaged Property or any other property of Borrower that is adjacent to the Mortgaged Property; or

 

 

(iii)

Borrower’s breach of any of its obligations under this Section 18 Any such notice given by Borrower shall not relieve Borrower of, or result in a waiver of, any obligation under this Instrument, the Note, or any other Loan Document.

 

(g)       Borrower shall pay promptly the costs of any environmental inspections, tests or audits, a purpose of which is to identify the extent or cause of or potential for a Prohibited Activity or Condition (“Environmental Inspections”), required by Lender in connection with any foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or as a condition of Lender’s consent to any Transfer under Section 2 1, or required by Lender following a reasonable determination by Lender that Prohibited Activities or Conditions may exist. Any such costs incurred by Lender (including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs and the costs of technical consultants whether incurred in connection with any judicial or administrative process or otherwise) that Borrower fails to pay promptly shall become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 12. As long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) Borrower has actually paid for or reimbursed Lender for all costs of any such Environmental Inspections performed or required by Lender, and (iii) Lender is not prohibited by law, contract or otherwise from doing so, Lender shall make available to Borrower, without representation of any kind, copies of Environmental Inspections prepared by third parties and delivered to Lender. Lender hereby reserves the right, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes Lender, to make available to any party, including any prospective bidder at a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property, the results of any Environmental

 

PAGE 23

 


Inspections made by or for Lender with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Borrower consents to Lender notifying any party (either as part of a notice of sale or otherwise) of the results of any Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender. Borrower acknowledges that Lender cannot control or otherwise assure the truthfulness or accuracy of the results of any Environmental Inspections and that the release of such results to prospective bidders at a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property may have a material and adverse effect upon the amount that a party may bid at such sale. Borrower agrees that Lender shall have no liability whatsoever as a result of delivering the results to any third party of any Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender, and Borrower hereby releases and forever discharges Lender from any and all claims, damages, or causes of action, arising out of, connected with or incidental to the results of, the delivery of any of Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender.

 

(h)       If any investigation, site monitoring, containment, clean-up, restoration or other remedial work (“Remedial Work”) is necessary to comply with any Hazardous Materials Law or order of any Governmental Authority that has or acquires jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property or the use, operation or improvement of the Mortgaged Property, or is otherwise required by Lender as a consequence of any Prohibited Activity or Condition or to prevent the occurrence of a Prohibited Activity or Condition, Borrower shall, by the earlier of (i) the applicable deadline required by Hazardous Materials Law or (ii) 30 days after Notice from Lender demanding such action, begin performing the Remedial Work, and thereafter diligently prosecute it to completion, and shall in any event complete the work by the time required by applicable Hazardous Materials Law. If Borrower fails to begin on a timely basis or diligently prosecute any required Remedial Work, Lender may, at its option, cause the Remedial Work to be completed, in which case Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for the cost of doing so. Any reimbursement due from Borrower to Lender shall become part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 12.

 

(i)        Borrower shall comply with all Hazardous Materials Laws applicable to the Mortgaged Property. Without limiting the generality of the previous sentence, Borrower shall (i) obtain and maintain all Environmental Permits required by Hazardous Materials Laws and comply with all conditions of such Environmental Permits; (ii) cooperate with any inquiry by any Governmental Authority; and (iii) comply with any governmental or judicial order that arises from any alleged Prohibited Activity or Condition.

 

(j)        Borrower shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) Lender, (ii) any prior owner or holder of the Note, (iii) the Loan Servicer, (iv) any prior Loan Servicer, (v) the officers, directors, shareholders, partners, employees and trustees of any of the foregoing, and (vi) the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against all proceedings, claims, damages, penalties and costs (whether initiated or sought by Governmental Authorities or private parties), including Attorneys’ Fees and

 

 

 

 

PAGE 24

 


Costs and remediation costs, whether incurred in connection with any judicial or administrative process or otherwise, arising directly or indirectly from any of the following:

 

 

(i)

any breach of any representation or warranty of Borrower in this Section 18;

 

 

(ii)

any failure by Borrower to perform any of its obligations under this Section 18;

 

 

(iii)

the existence or alleged existence of any Prohibited Activity or Condition;

 

 

(iv)

the presence or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on or under the Mortgaged Property or in any of the Improvements or on or under any property of Borrower that is adjacent to the Mortgaged Property; and

 

 

(v)

the actual or alleged violation of any Hazardous Materials Law.

 

(k)       Counsel selected by Borrower to defend lndemnitees shall be subject to the approval of those Indemnitees. In any circumstances in which the indemnity under this Section 18 applies, Lender may employ its own legal counsel and consultants to prosecute, defend or negotiate any claim or legal or administrative proceeding and Lender, with the prior written consent of Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) may settle or compromise any action or legal or administrative proceeding. However, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or the interests of Borrower and Lender are in conflict, as determined by Lender in its discretion, Lender shall permit Borrower to undertake the actions referenced in this Section 18 in accordance with this Section 18(k) and Section 18(1) so long as Lender approves such action, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Borrower shall reimburse Lender upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including all costs of settlements entered into in good faith, consultants’ fees and Attorneys’ Fees and Costs.

 

(l)        Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of those Indemnitees who are named as parties to a claim or legal or administrative proceeding (a “Claim”), settle or compromise the Claim if the settlement (i) results in the entry of any judgment that does not include as an unconditional term the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to Lender of a written release of those Indemnitees, satisfactory in form and substance to Lender; or (ii) may materially and adversely affect Lender, as determined by Lender in its discretion.

 

(m)      Borrower’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnitees shall not be limited or impaired by any of the following, or by any failure of Borrower or any guarantor to receive notice of or consideration for any of the following:

 

 

(i)

any amendment or modification of any Loan Document;

 

 

 

PAGE 25

 


 

(ii)

any extensions of time for performance required by any Loan Document;

 

 

(iii)

any provision in any of the Loan Documents limiting Lender’s recourse to property securing the Indebtedness, or limiting the personal liability of Borrower or any other party for payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness;

 

 

(iv)

the accuracy or inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by Borrower under this Instrument or any other Loan Document;

 

 

(v)

the release of Borrower or any other person, by Lender or by operation of law, from performance of any obligation under any Loan Document;

 

 

(vi)

the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the

Indebtedness; and

 

 

(vii)

Lender’s failure to properly perfect any lien or security interest given as security for the Indebtedness.

 

 

(n)

Borrower shall, at its own cost and expense, do all of the following:

 

 

(i)

pay or satisfy any judgment or decree that may be entered against any Indemnitee or Indemnitees in any legal or administrative proceeding incident to any matters against which Indemnitees are entitled to be indemnified under this Section 18;

 

 

(ii)

reimburse Indemnitees for any expenses paid or incurred in connection with any matters against which Indemnitees are entitled to be indemnified under this Section 18; and

 

 

(iii)

reimburse Indemnitees for any and all expenses, including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs, paid or incurred in connection with the enforcement by Indemnitees of their rights under this Section 18, or in monitoring and participating in any legal or administrative proceeding.

 

(o)       The provisions of this Section 18 shall be in addition to any and all other obligations and liabilities that Borrower may have under applicable law or under other Loan Documents, and each Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 18

without regard to whether Lender or that Indemnitee has exercised any rights against the Mortgaged Property or any other security, pursued any rights against any guarantor, or pursued any other rights available under the Loan Documents or applicable law. If Borrower consists of more than one person or entity, the obligation of those persons or entities to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Section 18 shall be joint and several. The obligation of Borrower to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Section 18 shall survive any repayment or discharge of the

 

 

PAGE 26

 


Indebtedness, any foreclosure proceeding, any foreclosure sale, any delivery of any deed in lieu of foreclosure, and any release of record of the lien of this Instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lender has never been a mortgagee-in-possession of, or held title to, the Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Section 18 after the date of the release of record of the lien of this Instrument by payment in full at the Maturity Date or by voluntary prepayment in full.

 

19. PROPERTY AND LIABILITY INSURANCE.

 

(a)        Borrower shall keep the Improvements insured at all times against such hazards as Lender may from time to time require, which insurance shall include but not be limited to coverage against loss by fire and allied perils, general boiler and machinery coverage, rent loss and extra expense insurance. If Lender so requires such insurance shall also include sinkhole insurance, mine subsidence insurance, earthquake insurance, and, if the Mortgaged Property does not conform to applicable zoning or land use laws, building ordinance or law coverage. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that lender’s insurance requirements may change from time to time throughout the term of the Indebtedness. If any of the Improvements is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor to that agency) as an area having special flood hazards, Borrower shall insure such Improvements against loss by flood.

All insurance required pursuant to this Section 19(a) shall be referred to as “Hazard Insurance.”

 

(b)       All premiums on Hazard Insurance policies required under Section 19(a) shall be paid in the manner provided in Section 7, unless Lender has designated in writing another method of payment. All such policies shall also be in a form approved by Lender. All policies of property damage insurance shall include a non-contributing, non-reporting mortgage clause in favor of, and in a form approved by, Lender. Lender shall have the right to hold the original policies or duplicate original policies of all Hazard Insurance required by Section 19(a). Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a copy of all renewal and other notices received by Borrower with respect to the policies and all receipts for paid premiums. At least 5 days prior to the expiration date of any Hazard Insurance policy, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence acceptable to Lender that the policy has been renewed. If Borrower has not delivered the original (or a duplicate original) of a renewal policy prior to the expiration date of any Hazard Insurance policy, Borrower shall deliver the original (or a duplicate original) of a renewal policy in a form satisfactory to Lender within 120 days after the expiration date of the original policy.

 

(c)        Borrower shall maintain at all times commercial general liability insurance, workers’ compensation insurance and such other liability, errors and omissions and fidelity insurance coverages as Lender may from time to time require.

 

(d)       All insurance policies and renewals of insurance policies required by this Section 19 shall be in such amounts and for such periods as Lender may from time to time require, and shall be issued by insurance companies satisfactory to Lender.

 

 

 

PAGE 27

 


(e)        Borrower shall comply with all insurance requirements and shall not permit any condition to exist on the Mortgaged Property that would invalidate any part of any insurance coverage that this Instrument requires Borrower to maintain.

 

(f)        In the event of loss, Borrower shall give immediate written notice to the insurance carrier and to Lender. Borrower hereby authorizes and appoints Lender as attorney-in-fact for Borrower to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claims under policies of Hazard Insurance, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such Hazard Insurance policies, to collect and receive the proceeds of Hazard Insurance, and to deduct from such proceeds Lender’s expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and therefore is irrevocable. However, nothing contained in this Section 19 shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action. Lender may, at Lender’s option, (i) require a “repair or replacement” settlement, in which case the proceeds will be used to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring and repairing the Mortgaged Property to the equivalent of its original condition or to a condition approved by Lender (the “Restoration”), or (ii) require an “actual cash value” settlement in which case the proceeds may be applied to the payment of the Indebtedness, whether or not then due. To the extent Lender determines to require a repair or replacement settlement and apply insurance proceeds to Restoration, Lender shall apply the proceeds in accordance with Lender’s then-current policies relating to the restoration of casualty damage on similar multifamily properties.

 

(g)       Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 19, as long as no Event of Default, or any event which, with the giving of Notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing,

 

 

(i)

in the event of a casualty resulting in damage to the Mortgaged Property which will cost $1 0,000 or less to repair, the Borrower shall have the sole right to make proof of loss, adjust and compromise the claim and collect and receive any proceeds directly without the approval or prior consent of the Lender so long as the insurance proceeds are used solely for the Restoration of the Mortgaged Property; and

 

 

(ii)

in the event of a casualty resulting in damage to the Mortgaged Property which will cost more than $10,000 but less than $50,000 to repair, the Borrower is authorized to make proof of loss and adjust and compromise the claim without the prior consent of Lender, and Lender shall hold the applicable insurance proceeds to be used to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration of the Mortgaged Property and shall not apply such proceeds to the payment of sums due under this Instrument.

 

(h)       Lender will have the right to exercise its option to apply insurance proceeds to the payment of the Indebtedness only if Lender determines that at least one of the following conditions is met:

 

 

PAGE 28

 


 

(i)

an Event of Default (or any event, which, with the giving of Notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default) has occurred and is continuing;

 

 

(ii)

Lender determines, in its discretion, that there will not be sufficient funds from insurance proceeds, anticipated contributions of Borrower of its own funds or other sources acceptable to Lender to complete the Restoration;

 

 

(iii)

Lender determines, in its discretion, that the rental income from the Mortgaged Property after completion of the Restoration will not be sufficient to meet all operating costs and other expenses, Imposition Deposits, deposits to reserves and loan repayment obligations relating to the Mortgaged Property;

 

 

(iv)

Lender determines, in its discretion, that the Restoration will not be completed at least one year before the Maturity Date (or six months before the Maturity Date if Lender determines in its discretion that re-leasing of the Mortgaged Property will be completed within such six-month period);or

 

 

(v)

Lender determines that the Restoration will not be completed within one year after the date of the loss or casualty.

 

(i)        If the Mortgaged Property is sold at a foreclosure sale or Lender acquires title to the Mortgaged Property, Lender shall automatically succeed to all rights of Borrower in and to any insurance policies and unearned insurance premiums and in and to the proceeds resulting from any damage to the Mortgaged Property prior to such sale or acquisition.

 

(i)        Unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, any application of any insurance proceeds to the Indebtedness shall not extend or postpone the due date of any monthly installments referred to in the Note, Section 7 of this Instrument or any Collateral Agreement, or change the amount of such installments.

 

(k)       Borrower agrees to execute such further evidence of assignment of any insurance proceeds as Lender may require.

 

 

20.

CONDEMNATION.

 

(a)        Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing of any action or proceeding or notice relating to any proposed or actual condemnation or other taking, or conveyance in lieu thereof, of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, whether direct or indirect (a “Condemnation”). Borrower shall appear in and prosecute or defend any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation unless otherwise directed by Lender in writing. Borrower

authorizes and appoints Lender as attorney-in-fact for Borrower to commence, appear in and

 

 

PAGE 29

 


prosecute, in Lender’s or Borrower’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation and to settle or compromise any claim in connection with any Condemnation, after consultation with Borrower and consistent with commercially reasonable standards of a prudent lender. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and therefore is irrevocable. However, nothing contained in this Section 20 shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action. Borrower hereby transfers and assigns to Lender all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to any award or payment with respect to (i) any Condemnation, or any conveyance in lieu of Condemnation, and (ii) any damage to the Mortgaged Property caused by governmental action that does not result in a Condemnation.

 

(b)       Lender may apply such awards or proceeds, after the deduction of Lender’s expenses incurred in the collection of such amounts (including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs) at Lender’s option, to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or to the payment of the Indebtedness, with the balance, if any, to Borrower. Unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, any application of any awards or proceeds to the Indebtedness shall not extend or postpone the due date of any monthly installments referred to in the Note, Section 7 of this Instrument or any Collateral Agreement, or change the amount of such installments. Borrower agrees to execute such further evidence of assignment of any awards or proceeds as Lender may require.

(f)        Lender shall consent, without any adjustment to the rate at which the Indebtedness secured by this Instrument bears interest or to any other economic terms of the Indebtedness set forth in the Note, to a Transfer that would otherwise violate this Section 21 if, prior to the Transfer, Borrower has satisfied each of the following requirements:

 

 

(i)

the submission to Lender of all information required by Lender to make the determination required by this Section 21(f);

 

 

(ii)

the absence of any Event of Default;

(iv)

the transferee’s organization, credit and experience in the management of similar properties are deemed by the Lender, in its discretion, to be appropriate to the overall structure and documentation of the existing financing;

 

 

(v)

the Mortgaged Property, at the time of the proposed Transfer, meets all standards as to its physical condition, occupancy, net operating income and the collection of reserves that are customarily applied by Lender at the time of the proposed Transfer to the approval of properties in connection with the origination or purchase of similar mortgages on multifamily properties;

 

 

(vi)

in the case of a Transfer of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, (A) the execution by the transferee of Lender’s then-standard assumption agreement that, among other things, requires the transferee to perform all obligations of Borrower set forth in the Note, this Instrument and any other Loan Documents, and may require that the transferee comply with any provisions of this Instrument or any other Loan Document which previously may have been waived or modified by Lender, (B) if Lender requires, the transferee causes one or more individuals or entities acceptable to Lender to execute and deliver to Lender a guaranty in a form acceptable to Lender, and (C) the transferee executes such additional Collateral Agreements as Lender may require;

 

 

(vii)

in the case of a Transfer of any interest in a Controlling Entity, if a guaranty has been executed and delivered in connection with the Note, this Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower causes one or more individuals or entities acceptable to Lender to execute and deliver to Lender a guaranty in a form acceptable to Lender; and

 

 

(viii)

PAGE 35

 


 

(C)

the amount of Lender’s out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable Attorneys’ Fees and Costs) incurred in reviewing the Transfer request.

 

22.       EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Instrument:

 

(a)        any failure by Borrower to pay or deposit when due any amount required by the Note, this Instrument or any other Loan Document;

 

 

(b)

any failure by Borrower to maintain the insurance coverage required by

Section 19;

 

 

(c)

any failure by Borrower to comply with the provisions of Section 33;

 

(d)       fraud or material misrepresentation or material omission by Borrower, any of its officers, directors, trustees, general partners or managers or any guarantor in connection with (i) the application for or creation of the Indebtedness, (ii) any financial statement, rent schedule, or other report or information provided to Lender during the term of the Indebtedness, or (iii) any request for Lender’s consent to any proposed action, including a request for disbursement of funds under any Collateral Agreement;

 

 

(e)

any failure to comply with the provisions of Section 20;

 

 

(f)

any Event of Default under Section 2 1 ;

 

(g)       the commencement of a forfeiture action or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, which, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, could result in a forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property or otherwise materially impair the lien created by this Instrument or Lender’s interest in the Mortgaged Property;

 

(h)       any failure by Borrower to perform any of its obligations under this Instrument (other than those specified in Sections 22(a) through (g)), as and when required, which continues for a period of 30 days after Notice of such failure by Lender to Borrower. However, if Borrower’s failure to perform its obligations as described in this Section 22(h) is of the nature that it cannot be cured within the 30 day grace period but reasonably could be cured within 90 days, then Borrower shall have additional time as determined by Lender in its discretion, not to exceed an additional 60 days, in which to cure such default, provided that Borrower has diligently commenced to cure such default during the 30-day grace period and diligently pursues the cure of such default. However, no such Notice or grace periods shall apply in the case of any such failure which could, in Lender’s judgment, absent immediate exercise by Lender of a right or remedy under this Instrument, result in harm to Lender, impairment of the Note or this Instrument or any other security given under any other Loan Document;

 

 

PAGE 36

 


(i)        any failure by Borrower to perform any of its obligations as and when required under any Loan Document other than this Instrument which continues beyond the applicable cure period, if any, specified in that Loan Document;

 

(j)        any exercise by the holder of any other debt instrument secured by a mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt on the Mortgaged Property of a right to declare all amounts due under that debt instrument immediately due and payable;

 

(k)       Borrower voluntarily files for bankruptcy protection under the United States Bankruptcy Code or voluntarily becomes subject to any reorganization, receivership, insolvency proceeding or other similar proceeding pursuant to any other federal or state law affecting debtor and creditor rights, or an involuntary case is commenced against Borrower by any creditor (other than Lender) of Borrower pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code or other federal or state law affecting debtor and creditor rights and is not dismissed or discharged within 90 days after filing; and

 

(l)        any of Borrower’s representations and warranties in this Instrument is false or misleading in any material respect.

 

23.       REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Each right and remedy provided in this Instrument is distinct from all other rights or remedies under this Instrument or any other Loan Document or afforded by applicable law, and each shall be cumulative and may be exercised concurrently, independently, or successively, in any order.

 

 

24.

FORBEARANCE.

 

(a)        Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) agree with Borrower, from time to time, and without giving notice to, or obtaining the consent of, or having any effect upon the obligations of, any guarantor or other third party obligor, to take any of the following actions: extend the time for payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness; reduce the payments due under this Instrument, the Note, or any other Loan Document; release anyone liable for the payment of any amounts under this Instrument, the Note, or any other Loan Document; accept a renewal of the Note; modify the terms and time of payment of the Indebtedness; join in any extension or subordination agreement; release any Mortgaged Property; take or release other or additional security; modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of the Note or change the amount of the monthly installments payable under the Note; and otherwise modify this Instrument, the Note,

or any other Loan Document.

 

(b)       Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under the Note, this Instrument, or any other Loan Document or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy, or the subsequent exercise of any right or remedy. The acceptance by Lender of payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness after the due date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required payment, shall not

 

 

PAGE 37

 


be a waiver of Lender’s right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments on account of the Indebtedness or to exercise any remedies for any failure to make prompt payment. Enforcement by Lender of any security for the Indebtedness shall not constitute an election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other right available to Lender. Lender’s receipt of any awards or proceeds under Sections 19 and 20 shall not operate to cure or waive any Event of Default.

 

25.       LOAN CHARGES. If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower is interpreted so that any charge provided for in any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges levied in connection with any other Loan Document, violates that law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law, that charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate that violation. The amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts shall be applied by Lender to reduce the principal of the Indebtedness. For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower has been violated, all Indebtedness which constitutes interest, as well as all other charges levied in connection with the Indebtedness which constitute interest, shall be deemed to be allocated and spread over the stated term of the Note. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading shall be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of the Note.

 

26.       WAIVER OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of the lien of this Instrument or to any action brought to enforce any Loan Document.

 

27.       WAIVER OF MARSHALLING. Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interests in the Mortgaged Property held by Lender or by any other party, Lender shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Mortgaged Property shall be subjected to the remedies provided in this Instrument, the Note, any other Loan Document or applicable law. Lender shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all portions of the Indebtedness are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of such remedies. Borrower and any party who now or in the future acquires a security interest in the Mortgaged Property and who has actual or constructive notice of this Instrument waives any and all right to require the marshalling of assets or to require that any of the Mortgaged Property be sold in the inverse order of alienation or that any of the Mortgaged Property be sold in parcels or as an entirety in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law or provided in this Instrument.

 

28.       FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver, at its sole cost and expense, all further acts, deeds, conveyances, assignments, estoppel certificates, financing statements or amendments, transfers and assurances as Lender may require from time to time in order to better assure, grant, and convey to Lender the rights intended to be granted, now or in the future, to Lender under this Instrument and the Loan Documents.

 

 

PAGE 38

 


29.       ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Within 10 days after a request from Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a written statement, signed and acknowledged by Borrower, certifying to Lender or any person designated by Lender, as of the date of such statement, (i) that the Loan Documents are unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that the Loan Documents are in full force and effect as modified and setting forth such modifications); (ii) the unpaid principal balance of the Note; (iii) the date to which interest under the Note has been paid; (iv) that Borrower is not in default in paying the Indebtedness or in performing or observing any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents (or, if the Borrower is in default, describing such default in reasonable detail); (v) whether or not there are then existing any setoffs or defenses known to Borrower against the enforcement of any right or remedy of Lender under the Loan Documents; and (vi) any additional facts requested by Lender.

 

 

30.

GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE.

 

(a)        This Instrument, and any Loan Document which does not itself expressly identify the law that is to apply to it, shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Land is located (the “Property Jurisdiction”).

 

(b)       Borrower agrees that any controversy arising under or in relation to the Note, this Instrument, or any other Loan Document may be litigated in the Property Jurisdiction. The state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Property Jurisdiction shall have jurisdiction over all controversies that shall arise under or in relation to the Note, any security for the Indebtedness, or any other Loan Document. Borrower irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction, and venue of such courts for any such litigation and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual residence or otherwise. However, nothing in this Section 30 is intended to limit Lender’s right to bring any suit, action or proceeding relating to matters under this Instrument in any court of any other jurisdiction.

 

 

31.

NOTICE.

 

(a)        All Notices, demands and other communications (“Notice”) under or concerning this Instrument shall be in writing. Each Notice shall be addressed to the intended recipient at its address set forth in this Instrument, and shall be deemed given on the earliest to occur of (i) the date when the Notice is received by the addressee; (ii) the first Business Day after the Notice is delivered to a recognized overnight courier service, with arrangements made for payment of charges for next Business Day delivery; or (iii) the third Business Day after the Notice is deposited in the United States mail with postage prepaid, certified mail, return receipt requested.

 

(b)       Any party to this Instrument may change the address to which Notices intended for it are to be directed by means of Notice given to the other party in accordance with this Section 3 1. Each party agrees that it will not refuse or reject delivery of any Notice given in accordance with this Section 3 1, that it will acknowledge, in writing, the receipt of any Notice upon request

 

 

 

PAGE 39

 


by the other party and that any Notice rejected or refused by it shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 3 1 to have been received by the rejecting party on the date so refused or rejected, as conclusively established by the records of the U.S. Postal Service or the courier service.

 

(c)        Any Notice under the Note and any other Loan Document that does not specify how Notices are to be given shall be given in accordance with this Section 31.

 

32.       SALE OF NOTE; CHANGE IN SERVICER; LOAN SERVICING. The Note or a partial interest in the Note (together with this Instrument and the other Loan Documents) may be sold one or more times without prior Notice to Borrower. A sale may result in a change of the Loan Servicer. There also may be one or more changes of the Loan Servicer unrelated to a sale of the Note. I f there is a change of the Loan Servicer, Borrower will be given Notice of the change. All actions regarding the servicing of the loan evidenced by the Note, including the collection of payments, the giving and receipt of Notice, inspections of the Mortgaged Property, inspections of books and records, and the granting of consents and approvals, may be taken by the Loan Servicer unless Borrower receives Notice to the contrary. If Borrower receives conflicting Notices regarding the identity of the Loan Servicer or any other subject, any such Notice from Lender shall govern.

 

33.       SINGLE ASSET BORROWER. Until the Indebtedness is paid in full, Borrower (a) shall not own any real or personal property other than the Mortgaged Property and personal property related to the operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property; (b) shall not operate any business other than the management and operation of the Mortgaged Property; and (c) shall not maintain its assets in a way difficult to segregate and identify.

 

34.       SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS BOUND. This Instrument shall bind, and the rights granted by this Instrument shall inure to, the respective successors and assigns of Lender and Borrower. However, a Transfer not permitted by Section 21 shall be an Event of Default.

 

35.       JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. I f more than one person or entity signs this Instrument as Borrower, the obligations of such persons and entities shall be joint and several.

 

 

36.

RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES; NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY.

 

(a)        The relationship between Lender and Borrower shall be solely that of creditor and debtor, respectively, and nothing contained in this Instrument shall create any other relationship between Lender and Borrower.

 

(b)       No creditor of any party to this Instrument and no other person shall be a third party beneficiary of this Instrument or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, (i) any arrangement (a “Servicing Arrangement”) between the Lender and any Loan Servicer for loss sharing or interim advancement of funds shall constitute a

 

 

 

PAGE 40

 


contractual obligation of such Loan Servicer that is independent of the obligation of Borrower for the payment of the Indebtedness, (ii) Borrower shall not be a third party beneficiary of any Servicing Arrangement, and (iii) no payment by the Loan Servicer under any Servicing Arrangement will reduce the amount of the Indebtedness.

 

37.       SEVERABILITY, AMENDMENTS. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Instrument shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. This Instrument contains the entire agreement among the parties as to the rights granted and the obligations assumed in this Instrument. This Instrument may not be amended or modified except by a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought; provided, however, that in the event of a Transfer prohibited by or requiring Lender’s approval under Section 21, any or some or all of the Modifications to Instrument set forth in Exhibit B (if any) may be modified or rendered void by Lender at Lender’s option by Notice to Borrower and the transferee(s).

 

38.       CONSTRUCTION. The captions and headings of the Sections of this Instrument are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in construing this Instrument. Any reference in this Instrument to an “Exhibit” or a “Section” shall, unless otherwise explicitly provided, be construed as referring, respectively, to an Exhibit attached to this Instrument or to a Section of this Instrument. All Exhibits attached to or referred to in this Instrument are incorporated by reference into this instrument. Any reference in this Instrument to a statute or regulation shall be construed as referring to that statute or regulation as amended from time to time. Use of the singular in this Agreement includes the plural and use of the plural includes the singular. As used in this Instrument, the term “including” means “including, but not limited to.

 

39.       DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. Lender may furnish information regarding Borrower or the Mortgaged Property to third parties with an existing or prospective interest in the servicing, enforcement, evaluation, performance, purchase or securitization of the Indebtedness, including but not limited to trustees, master servicers, special servicers, rating agencies, and organizations maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of multifamily mortgage loans. Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have under applicable law to prohibit such disclosure, including but not limited to any right of privacy.

 

40.       NO CHANGE IN FACTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES. Borrower warrants that (a) all information in the application for the loan submitted to Lender (the “Loan Application”) and in all financial statements, rent schedules, reports, certificates and other documents submitted in connection with the Loan Application are complete and accurate in all material respects; and (b) there has been no material adverse change in any fact or circumstance that would make any such information incomplete or inaccurate.

 

41.       SUBROGATION. If, and to the extent that, the proceeds of the loan evidenced by the Note are used to pay, satisfy or discharge any obligation of Borrower for the payment of money that is secured by a pre-existing mortgage, deed of trust or other lien encumbering the

 

 

PAGE 41

 


Mortgaged Property (a “Prior Lien”), such loan proceeds shall be deemed to have been advanced by Lender at Borrower’s request, and Lender shall automatically, and without further action on its part, be subrogated to the rights, including lien priority, of the owner or holder of the obligation secured by the Prior Lien, whether or not the Prior Lien is released.

 

42.       ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE - THIRD PARTY CAP AGREEMENT “CAP COLLATERAL.”

 

(a)        If the Note provides for interest to accrue at an adjustable or variable interest rate (other than during the “Extension Period,” as defined in the Note, if applicable), then the definition of “Mortgaged Property” shall include the “Cap Collateral.” The “Cap Collateral” shall mean

 

 

(i)

any interest rate cap agreement, interest rate swap agreement, or other interest rate-hedging contract or agreement obtained by Borrower as a requirement of any Loan Document or as a condition of Lender’s making the Loan (a “Cap Agreement”);

 

 

(ii)

any and all moneys (collectively, “Cap Payments”) payable pursuant to any Cap Agreement by the interest rate cap provider or other counterparty to a Cap Agreement or any guarantor of the obligations of any such cap provider or counterparty (a “Cap Provider”);

 

 

(iii)

all rights of Borrower under any Cap Agreement and all rights of Borrower to all Cap Payments, including contract rights and general intangibles, whether existing now or arising after the date of this Instrument;

 

 

(iv)

all rights, liens and security interests or guaranties granted by a Cap Provider or any other person to secure or guaranty payment of any Cap Payment whether existing now or granted after the date of this Instrument;

 

 

(v)

(vi)

(b)       As additional security for Borrower’s obligation under the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby assigns and pledges to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Cap Collateral. Borrower has instructed and will instruct each Cap Provider and any guarantor of a Cap Provider’s obligations to make Cap Payments directly to Lender or to Loan Servicer on behalf of Lender.

 

 

 

PAGE 42

 


(c)        So long as there is no Event of Default, Lender or Loan Servicer will remit to Borrower each Cap Payment received by Lender or Loan Servicer with respect to any month for which Borrower has paid in full the monthly installment of principal and interest or interest only, as applicable, due under the Note. Alternatively, at Lender’s option so long as there is no Event of Default, Lender may apply a Cap Payment received by Lender or Loan Servicer with respect to any month to the applicable monthly payment of accrued interest due under the Note if Borrower has paid in full the remaining portion of such monthly payment of principal and interest or interest only, as applicable.

 

(d)       Following an Event of Default, in addition to any other rights and remedies Lender may have, Lender may retain any Cap Payments and apply them to the Indebtedness in such order and amounts as Lender determines. Neither the existence of a Cap Agreement nor anything in this Instrument shall relieve Borrower of its primary obligation to timely pay in full all amounts due under the Note and otherwise due on account of the Indebtedness.

 

(e)        If the Note does not provide for interest to accrue at an adjustable or variable interest rate (other than during the Extension Period) then this Section 42 shall be of no force or effect.

 

43.       ACCELERATION; REMEDIES. At any time during the existence of an Event of Default, Lender, at Lender’s option, may declare the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable without further demand, and may foreclose this Instrument by judicial proceeding and may invoke any other remedies permitted by applicable law or provided in this Instrument or in any other Loan Document. Lender shall be entitled to collect all costs and expenses incurred in pursuing such remedies, including costs of documentary evidence, abstracts, title reports and attorneys’ fees and out of pocket expenses.

 

44. RELEASE. Upon payment of the Indebtedness, Lender shall, at its cost, release this Instrument.

 

45.       FINANCING STATEMENT. As provided in Section 2, this Instrument constitutes a financing statement with respect to any part of the Mortgaged Property which is or may become a Fixture and for the purposes of such financing statement: (a) the Debtor shall be Borrower and the Secured Party shall be Lender; (b) the addresses of Borrower as Debtor and of Lender as Secured Party are as specified above in the first paragraph of this Instrument; (c) the name of the record owner is Borrower; (d) the types or items of collateral consist of any part of the Mortgaged Property which is or may become a Fixture; and (e) the social security number or the federal employer identification number of Borrower as Debtor is 48-1148402.

 

46.       APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER. Section 3(b) and Section 4(d) are amended by (i) deleting the following phrase, each time it appears: “Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining control of the Mortgaged Property,” and (ii) inserting the following new phrase in its

 

 

 

PAGE 43

 


place: “Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining control or possession of the Mortgaged Property or any equivalent action.”

 

47.       WAIVER OF REDEMPTION. Borrower waives all right of redemption of the Mortgaged Property.

 

48.       WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH (A) COVENANTS AND AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS INSTRUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS BORROWER AND LENDER THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.

Payments.

 

(a)      During the Fixed Rate Period, interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at the Fixed Interest Rate, subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Note. During the Extension Period, interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at the Adjustable Interest Rate, subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Note.

 

 

PAGE 4

 


 

(b)       Interest under this Note shall be computed, payable and allocated on the basis of an actual/360 interest calculation schedule (interest is payable for the actual number of days in each month, and each month’s interest is calculated by multiplying the unpaid principal amount of this Note as of the first day of the month for which interest is being calculated by the Fixed Interest Rate (during the Fixed Rate Period) or the applicable Adjustable Interest Rate (during the Extension Period), dividing the product by 360, and multiplying the quotient by the number of days in the month for which interest is being calculated). For convenience in determining the amount of a monthly installment of principal and interest under this Note, Lender will use a 30/360 interest calculation payment schedule (each year is treated as consisting of twelve 30-day months). However, as provided above, the portion of the monthly installment actually payable as and allocated to interest will be based upon an actual/360 interest calculation schedule, and the amount of each installment attributable to principal and the amount attributable to interest will vary based upon the number of days in the month for which such installment is paid. Each monthly payment of principal and interest will first be applied to pay in full interest due, and the balance of the monthly payment paid by Borrower will be credited to principal.

 

(c)       Unless disbursement of principal is made by Lender to Borrower on the first day of a calendar month, interest for the period beginning on the date of disbursement and ending on and including the last day of such calendar month shall be payable by Borrower simultaneously with the execution of this Note. If disbursement of principal is made by Lender to Borrower on the first day of a calendar month, then no payment will be due from Borrower at the time of the execution of this Note. The Installment Due Date for the first monthly installment payment under Section 3(d) of interest only or principal and interest, as applicable, will be the First Installment Due Date set forth in Section l(a) of this Note. Except as provided in this Section 3(c) and in Section 10, accrued interest will be payable in arrears.

 

(d)       Beginning on the First Installment Due Date, and continuing until and including the monthly installment due on the Initial Maturity Date, principal and accrued interest shall be payable by Borrower in consecutive monthly installments due and payable on the first day of each calendar month. The amount of the monthly installment of principal and interest payable pursuant to this Section 3(d) on an Installment Due Date shall be Fourteen Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty Five and 041100 Dollars ($14,855.04).

 

(e)       Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3(e), all remaining Indebtedness, including all principal and interest, shall be due and payable by Borrower on the Initial Maturity Date. However, so long as (i) the Initial Maturity Date has not occurred prior to the Scheduled Initial Maturity Date, and (ii) no Event of Default or event or circumstance which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, could constitute an Event of Default exists on the Scheduled Initial Maturity Date, then the Extension Period automatically will become effective and the date for full payment of the Indebtedness automatically shall be extended until the Extended Maturity Date. If the Extension Period becomes effective, monthly installments of principal and interest or interest only will be payable during the Extension Period as provided in Section 3(f). Anything in Section 21 of the Security Instrument to the contrary notwithstanding, during the Extension Period, Borrower will not request that Lender consent to, and Lender will not consent to, a Transfer that, absent such consent, would constitute an Event of Default.

 

 

PAGE 5

 


 

(f)        If the Extension Period becomes effective, beginning on December 1, 2016, and continuing until and including the monthly installment due on the Extended Maturity Date, principal and accrued interest shall be payable by Borrower in consecutive monthly installments due and payable on the first day of each calendar month. The amount of the monthly installment of principal and interest payable pursuant to this Section 3(f) on an Installment Due Date shall be calculated so as to equal the monthly payment amount which would be payable on the Installment Due Date as if the unpaid principal balance of this Note as of the first day of the Interest Adjustment Period immediately preceding the Installment Due Date was to be fully amortized, together with interest thereon at the Adjustable Interest Rate in effect for such Interest Adjustment Period, in equal consecutive monthly payments paid on the first day of each calendar month over the Remaining Amortization Period.

 

(g)       During the Extension Period, Lender shall provide Borrower with Notice, given in the manner specified in the Security Instrument, of the amount of each monthly installment due under this Note. However, if Lender has not provided Borrower with prior notice of the monthly payment due on any Installment Due Date, then Borrower shall pay on that Installment Due Date an amount equal to the monthly installment payment for which Borrower last received notice. If Lender at any time determines that Borrower has paid one or more monthly installments in an incorrect amount because of the operation of the preceding sentence, or because Lender has miscalculated the Adjustable Interest Rate or has otherwise miscalculated the amount of any monthly installment, then Lender shall give notice to Borrower of such determination. If such determination discloses that Borrower has paid less than the full amount due for the period for which the determination was made, Borrower, within 30 calendar days after receipt of the notice from Lender, shall pay to Lender the full amount of the deficiency. If such determination discloses that Borrower has paid more than the full amount due for the period for which the determination was made, then the amount of the overpayment shall be credited to the next installment(s) of interest only or principal and interest, as applicable, due under this Note (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such overpayment shall be credited against any amount owing by Borrower to Lender).

 

 

(h)

All payments under this Note shall be made in immediately available U.S. funds.

 

(i)        Any regularly scheduled monthly installment of interest only or principal and interest payable pursuant to this Section 3 that is received by Lender before the date it is due shall be deemed to have been received on the due date for the purpose of calculating interest due.

 

(j)        Any accrued interest remaining past due for 30 days or more, at Lender’s discretion, may be added to and become part of the unpaid principal balance of this Note and any reference to “accrued interest” shall refer to accrued interest which has not become part of the unpaid principal balance. Any amount added to principal pursuant to the Loan Documents shall bear interest at the applicable rate or rates specified in this Note and shall be payable with such interest upon demand by Lender and absent such demand, as provided in this Note for the payment of principal and interest.

 

 

PAGE 6

 


(k)       In accordance with Section 14, interest charged under this Note cannot exceed the Maximum Interest Rate. If the Adjustable Interest Rate at any time exceeds the Maximum Interest Rate, resulting in the charging of interest hereunder to be limited to the Maximum Interest Rate, then any subsequent reduction in the Adjustable Interest Rate shall not reduce the rate at which interest under this Note accrues below the Maximum Interest Rate until the total amount of interest accrued hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have accrued had the Adjustable Interest Rate at all times been in effect.

 

4.         Application of Payments. If at any time Lender receives, from Borrower or otherwise, any amount applicable to the Indebtedness which is less than all amounts due and payable at such time, Lender may apply the amount received to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender, in Lender’s discretion. Borrower agrees that neither Lender’s acceptance of a payment from Borrower in an amount that is less than all amounts then due and payable nor Lender’s application of such payment shall constitute or be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction.

 

5.         Security. The Indebtedness is secured by, among other things, the Security Instrument, and reference is made to the Security Instrument for other rights of Lender as to collateral for the Indebtedness.

 

6.         Acceleration. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the entire unpaid principal balance, any accrued interest, any prepayment premium payable under Section 10, and all other amounts payable under this Note and any other Loan Document, shall at once become due and payable, at the option of Lender, without any prior notice to Borrower (except if notice is required by applicable law, then after such notice). Lender may exercise this option to accelerate regardless of any prior forbearance. For purposes of exercising such option, Lender shall calculate the prepayment premium as if prepayment occurred on the date of acceleration. If prepayment occurs thereafter, lender shall recalculate the prepayment premium as of the actual prepayment date.

 

 

7.

Late Charge.

 

(a)       If any monthly installment of interest or principal and interest or other amount payable under this Note or under the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document is not received in full by Lender (i) during the Fixed Rate Period, within ten (10) days after the installment or other amount is due, or (ii) during the Extension Period, within five (5) days after the installment or other amount is due, counting from and including the date such installment or other amount is due (unless applicable law requires a longer period of time before a late charge may be imposed, in which event such longer period shall be substituted), Borrower shall pay to Lender, immediately and without demand by Lender, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such installment or other amount due (unless applicable law requires a lesser amount be charged, in which event such lesser amount shall be substituted).

 

(b)       Borrower acknowledges that its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional expenses. Borrower agrees that the late charge payable pursuant to this Section represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into

 

 

PAGE 7

 


account all circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the additional expenses Lender will incur by reason of such late payment. The late charge is payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, any interest payable at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 8.

 

 

8.

Default Rate.

 

(a)       So long as (i) any monthly installment under this Note remains past due for thirty (30) days or more or (ii) any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then notwithstanding anything in Section 3 of this Note to the contrary, interest under this Note shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance from the Installment Due Date of the first such unpaid monthly installment or the occurrence of such other Event of Default, as applicable, at the Default Rate.

 

(b)       From and after the Maturity Date, the unpaid principal balance shall continue to bear interest at the Default Rate until and including the date on which the entire principal balance is paid in full.

 

(c)       Borrower acknowledges that (i) its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan, (ii) during the time that any monthly installment under this Note is delinquent for thirty (30) days or more, Lender will incur additional costs and expenses arising from its loss of the use of the money due and from the adverse impact on Lender’s ability to meet its other obligations and to take advantage of other investment opportunities; and (iii) it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional costs and expenses. Borrower also acknowledges that, during the time that any monthly installment under this Note is delinquent for thirty (30) days or more or any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender’s risk of nonpayment of this Note will be materially increased and Lender is entitled to be compensated for such increased risk. Borrower agrees that the increase in the rate of interest payable under this Note to the Default Rate represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the additional costs and expenses Lender will incur by reason of the Borrower’s delinquent payment and the additional compensation Lender is entitled to receive for the increased risks of nonpayment associated with a delinquent loan.

 

 

9.

Limits on Personal Liability.

 

(a)       Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9, Borrower shall have no personal liability under this Note, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document for the repayment of the Indebtedness or for the performance of any other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents and Lender’s only recourse for the satisfaction of the Indebtedness and the performance of such obligations shall be Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Mortgaged Property and to any other collateral held by Lender as security for the Indebtedness. This limitation on Borrower’s liability shall not limit or impair Lender’s enforcement of its rights against any guarantor of the Indebtedness or any guarantor of any other obligations of Borrower.

 

 

(b)

Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for the amount of the Base

Recourse, plus any other amounts for which Borrower has personal liability under this Section 9.

 

 

PAGE 8

 


 

(c)       In addition to the Base Recourse, Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for the repayment of a further portion of the Indebtedness equal to any loss or damage suffered by Lender as a result of the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

 

(i)

Borrower fails to pay to Lender upon demand after an Event of Default all Rents to which Lender is entitled under Section 3(a) of the Security Instrument and the amount of all security deposits collected by Borrower from tenants then in residence. However, Borrower will not be personally liable for any failure described in this subsection (i) if Borrower is unable to pay to Lender all Rents and security deposits as required by the Security Instrument because of a valid order issued in a bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial proceeding.

 

 

(ii)

Borrower fails to apply all insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds as required by the Security Instrument. However, Borrower will not be personally liable for any failure described in this subsection (ii) if Borrower is unable to apply insurance or condemnation proceeds as required by the Security Instrument because of a valid order issued in a bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial proceeding.

 

 

(iii)

Borrower fails to comply with Section 14(g) or (h) of the Security Instrument relating to the delivery of books and records, statements, schedules and reports.

 

 

(iv)

Borrower fails to pay when due in accordance with the terms of the

Security Instrument the amount of any item below marked “Deferred”; provided however, that if no item is marked “Deferred”, this Section 9(c)(iv) shall be of no force or effect.

 

[Collect]

Hazard Insurance premiums or other insurance premiums,

 

[Collect]

Taxes,

 

[Deferred]

water and sewer charges (that could become a lien on the Mortgaged Property),

 

[N/A]

ground rents,

 

[Deferred]

assessments or other charges (that could become a lien on the Mortgaged Property)

 

(d)       In addition to the Base Recourse, Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for:

 

 

(i)

the performance of all of Borrower’s obligations under Section 18 of the Security Instrument (relating to environmental matters);

 

 

(ii)

the costs of any audit under Section 14(g) of the Security Instrument; and

 

 

(iii)

any costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of any amount for which Borrower is personally liable under

 

 

PAGE 9

 


this Section 9, including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs and the costs of conducting any independent audit of Borrower’s books and records to determine the amount for which Borrower has personal liability.

 

(e)       All payments made by Borrower with respect to the Indebtedness and all amounts received by Lender from the enforcement of its rights under the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents shall be applied first to the portion of the Indebtedness for which Borrower has no personal liability.

 

(f)        Notwithstanding the Base Recourse, Borrower shall become personally liable to Lender for the repayment of all of the Indebtedness upon the occurrence of any of the following Events of Default:

 

 

(i)

Borrower’s ownership of any property or operation of any business not permitted by Section 33 of the Security Instrument;

 

 

(ii)

a Transfer (including, but not limited to, a lien or encumbrance) that is an Event of Default under Section 21 of the Security Instrument, other than a Transfer consisting solely of the involuntary removal or involuntary withdrawal of a general partner in a limited partnership or a manager in a limited liability company; or

 

 

(iii)

fraud or written material misrepresentation by Borrower or any officer, director, partner, member or employee of Borrower in connection with the application for or creation of the Indebtedness or any request for any action or consent by Lender.

 

(g)       To the extent that Borrower has personal liability under this Section 9, Lender may exercise its rights against Borrower personally without regard to whether Lender has exercised any rights against the Mortgaged Property or any other security, or pursued any rights against any guarantor, or pursued any other rights available to Lender under this Note, the Security Instrument, any other Loan Document or applicable law. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in any action to enforce Borrower’s personal liability under this Section 9, Borrower waives any right to set off the value of the Mortgaged Property against such personal liability.

 

 

10.

Voluntary and Involuntary Prepayments.

 

(a)       Any receipt by Lender of principal due under this Note prior to the Maturity Date, other than principal required to be paid in monthly installments pursuant to Section 3, constitutes a prepayment of principal under this Note. Without limiting the foregoing, any application by Lender, prior to the Maturity Date, of any proceeds of collateral or other security to the repayment of any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note constitutes a prepayment under this Note.

 

 

PAGE 10

 


(b)       Borrower may voluntarily prepay all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note on an Installment Due Date so long as Borrower designates the date for such prepayment in a Notice from Borrower to Lender given at least 30 days prior to the date of such prepayment. If an Installment Due Date (as defined in Section l(a)) falls on a day which is not a Business Day, then with respect to payments made under this Section 10 only, the term “Installment Due Date” shall mean the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Installment Due Date.

 

(c)       Notwithstanding subsection (b) above, Borrower may voluntarily prepay all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note on a Business Day other than an Installment Due Date if Borrower provides Lender with the Notice set forth in subsection (b) and meets the other requirements set forth in this subsection. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has agreed that Borrower may prepay principal on a Business Day other than an Installment Due Date only because Lender shall deem any prepayment received by Lender on any day other than an Installment Due Date to have been received on the Installment Due Date immediately following such prepayment and Borrower shall be responsible for all interest that would have been due if the prepayment had actually been made on the Installment Due Date immediately following such prepayment.

 

(d)       Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, Borrower may not voluntarily prepay less than all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note. In order to voluntarily prepay all or any part of the principal of this Note, Borrower must also pay to Lender, together with the amount of principal being prepaid, (i) all accrued and unpaid interest due under this Note, plus (ii) all other sums due to Lender at the time of such prepayment, plus (iii) any prepayment premium calculated pursuant to Section 10(e).

 

(e)       Except as provided in Section 10(f), a prepayment premium shall be due and payable by Borrower in connection with any prepayment of principal under this Note during the Prepayment Premium Period. The prepayment premium shall be whichever is the greater of subsections (A) and (B) below:

 

 

(A)

1.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid; or

 

 

(B)

the product obtained by multiplying:

 

 

(1)

the amount of principal being prepaid or accelerated, by

 

 

(2)

the excess (if any) of the Monthly Note Rate over the Assumed Reinvestment Rate, by

 

 

(3)

he Present Value Factor.

 

For purposes of subsection (B), the following definitions shall apply:

 

Monthly Note Rate: one-twelfth (1112) of the Fixed Interest Rate, expressed as a decimal calculated to five digits.

 

 

PAGE 11

 


Prepayment Date: in the case of a voluntary prepayment, the date on which the prepayment is made; in the case of the application by Lender of collateral or security to a portion of the principal balance, the date of such application.

 

Assumed Reinvestment Rate: one-twelfth (1112) of the yield rate, as of the date 5 Business Days before the Prepayment Date, on the Treasury Security, as reported in The Wall Sheet Journal, expressed as a decimal calculated to five digits. In the event that no yield is published on the applicable date for the Treasury Security, Lender, in its discretion, shall select the non-callable Treasury Security maturing in the same year as the Treasury Security with the lowest yield published in The Wall Street Journal as of the applicable date. If the publication of such yield rates in The Wall Sheet Journal is discontinued for any reason, Lender shall select a security with a comparable rate and term to the Treasury Security. The election of an alternate security pursuant to this Section shall be made in Lender’s discretion.

 

Present Value Factor: the factor that discounts to present value the costs resulting to Lender from the difference in interest rates during the months remaining in the Yield Maintenance Period, using the Assumed Reinvestment Rate as the discount rate, with monthly compounding, expressed numerically as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 -

(

1

)

1 + ARR

 

 

 

ARR

 

 

 

 

n = the number of months remaining in Yield Maintenance Period; provided, however, if a prepayment occurs on an Installment Due Date, then the number of months remaining in the Yield Maintenance Period shall be calculated beginning with the month in which such prepayment occurs and if such prepayment occurs on a Business Day other than an Installment Due Date, then the number of months remaining in the Yield Maintenance Period shall be calculated beginning with the month immediately following the date of such prepayment.

 

ARR =Assumed Reinvestment Rate

 

(f)        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10, no prepayment premium shall be payable with respect to (i) any prepayment made during the Window Period, or (ii) any prepayment occurring as a result of the application of any insurance proceeds or condemnation award under the Security Instrument.

 

 

PAGE 12

 


(g)       Unless Lender agrees otherwise in writing, a permitted or required prepayment of less than the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall not extend or postpone the due date of any subsequent monthly installments or change the amount of such installments.

 

(h)       Borrower recognizes that any prepayment of any of the unpaid principal balance of this Note, whether voluntary or involuntary or resulting from an Event of Default by Borrower, will result in Lender’s incurring loss, including reinvestment loss, additional expense and frustration or impairment of Lender’s ability to meet its commitments to third parties. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender upon demand damages for the detriment caused by any prepayment, and agrees that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such damages. Borrower therefore acknowledges and agrees that the formula for calculating prepayment premiums set forth in this Note represents a reasonable estimate of the damages Lender will incur because of a prepayment. Borrower further acknowledges that any lockout and the prepayment premium provisions of this Note are a material part of the consideration for the Loan, and that the terms of this Note are in other respects more favorable to Borrower as a result of the Borrower’s voluntary agreement to the lockout and prepayment premium provisions.

 

11.       Costs and Expenses. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, Borrower shall pay all expenses and costs, including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs incurred by Lender as a result of any default under this Note or in connection with efforts to collect any amount due under this Note, or to enforce the provisions of any of the other Loan Documents, including those incurred in post-judgment collection efforts and in any bankruptcy proceeding (including any action for relief from the automatic stay of any bankruptcy proceeding) or judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceeding.

 

12.       Forbearance. Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under this Note, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of that or any other right or remedy. The acceptance by Lender of any payment after the due date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required payment, shall not be a waiver of Lender’s right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments or to exercise any right or remedy with respect to any failure to make prompt payment. Enforcement by Lender of any security for Borrower’s obligations under this Note shall not constitute an election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available to Lender.

 

13.       Waivers. Borrower and all endorsers and guarantors of this Note and all other third party obligors waive presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to demand or accelerate payment or maturity, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, grace, and diligence in collecting the Indebtedness.

 

14.       Loan Charges. Neither this Note nor any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate greater than the Maximum Interest Rate. If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower in connection with the Loan is interpreted so that any interest or other charge provided for in any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges provided for in any other Loan Document, violates that law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law, that interest or

charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate that violation. The amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts shall be applied by Lender to reduce the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading shall be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of this Note.

 

15.       Commercial Purpose. Borrower represents that Borrower is incurring the Indebtedness solely for the purpose of carrying on a business or commercial enterprise, and not for personal, family, household, or agricultural purposes.

 

16.       Counting of Days. Except where otherwise specifically provided, any reference in this Note to a period of “days” means calendar days, not Business Days.

 

17.       Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by the law of the Property Jurisdiction.

 

18.       Captions. The captions of the Sections of this Note are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in construing this Note.

The state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Property Jurisdiction shall have jurisdiction over all controversies that shall arise under or in relation to this Note.

MANAGEMENT FEE SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT

 

This Management Fee Subordination Agreement (“Agreement”), made and entered into as of October 4, 2006, by and between NorthMarq Capital, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Lender”), Cascade Joint Venture, L.P., a Kansas limited partnership (“Borrower”), and Maxus Properties, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“Agent”).

 

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT OF FACTS

 

A.      Agent entered into a Management Agreement dated March 14, 2005 (“Management Agreement”) covering certain property in Topeka, Kansas, commonly known as Cascade Apartments, and which is legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (“Property”).

 

B.        Borrower owns or will own the Property and is the Owner under the Management Agreement, as defined therein.

 

C.        Borrower has secured a loan from Lender in the amount of Two Million Five Hundred Forty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($2,540,000.00) (“Loan”), which is or will be secured by a Multifamily Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement covering the Property (“Mortgage”).

 

D.        As a condition to making the Loan to Borrower, Lender requires that the management fee to Agent not exceed four percent (4.0%) of the monthly gross receipts from the operation of the Property (“Management Fee”).

 

E.        The Management Agreement provides for a management fee to Agent equal to five percent (5.0%) of the monthly gross receipts from the operation of the Property (the excess one percent (1.0%) is hereinafter referred to as the “Excess Management Fee”).

 


F.        Lender has agreed to allow the payment and collection of the Excess Management Fee, provided Borrower and Agent comply with the conditions of this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged by the parties, it is agreed as follows:

 

1.         Subordination of Excess Management Fee to Debt Service. Borrower shall not pay and Agent shall not collect the Excess Management Fee unless and until Borrower has paid all operating expenses, including the Management Fee, monthly principal, interest, escrows, insurance, reserves or other required items or charges due under the Mortgage or any other documents executed in connection with the Loan.

 

2.         Subordination of Excess Management Fee to Loan Default. Agent shall not be entitled to receive payment of the Excess Management Fee after Agent has notice of or acquires actual knowledge of an Event of Default under the Mortgage, as defined therein (a “Default Notice”). In the event that payment of the Excess Management Fee is included with payment of the Management Fee, Agent, after a Default Notice, will be entitled to retain only that part of the payment equal to the Management Fee. Furthermore, if Agent receives payment of the Excess Management Fee after the Default Notice, it shall receive and hold such payment in trust for Lender, to be applied to amounts due under the Mortgage. In the event Lender determines that the Event of Default has been cured to its satisfaction, Agent shall thereafter be entitled to receive from Borrower the Excess Management Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Management Agreement, and all fees due and paid in connection therewith, including but not limited to the Management Fee and the Excess Management Fee, are subordinate to the Loan, the lien of the Mortgage, and any and all other documents in connection with the Loan.

 

3.         Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, successors-in-title and assigns.

 

4.         Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which when taken together will constitute one and the same instrument.

 

5.         Conflict of Documents. In the event there is a conflict between the Management Agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control.

THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE 1. COMMENCEMENT AND TERM

 

1.1       Commencement and Term. Manager’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement shall begin on the date hereof (the “Start Date”) and shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the conveyance of the Property or any portion thereof, as to such conveyed portion thereof only, or (ii) termination as provided in Article 10.

 

ARTICLE 2. MANAGER’S RESPONSIBILITIES

 

2.1       Management. Manager shall manage, operate and maintain the Property in an efficient and economic manner and shall arrange the performance of everything reasonably necessary to accomplish the foregoing, subject to the budgets, policies and limitations provided to Manager in writing by Owner from time to time. Manager shall keep the Property clean and in good repair, shall promptly order and supervise the completion of such repairs as may be required and shall generally do and perform, or cause to be done or performed, all things necessary or desirable to ensure the proper and efficient management, operation, and maintenance of the Property. Manager shall perform all services in a diligent and professional manner. Additionally, Manager shall upon Owner’s request cooperate with any proposed purchaser of the Property, any proposed lender evaluating the Property as collateral or any broker named by Owner in connection with a sale or financing of the Property. Manager is hereby authorized to take any action with respect to the Property which Manager believes in good faith is necessary for Manager to comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to Manager, as a licensed real estate broker or otherwise, and, when possible, Manager agrees to provide advance notice to and consult with Owner about any such action that has not been previously authorized. Manager shall exercise reasonable efforts to comply with all directions or instructions from Owner pertaining to the Property.

Manager shall obtain coverage of all employees who handle funds of Owner by fidelity bond or under a comprehensive crime insurance policy, each in amounts required by Owner and indemnifying Owner against loss, theft, embezzlement, or other fraudulent acts of Manager or its employees. Manager shall employ, directly or through third party contractors (e.g., an employee leasing company) all labor and employees required for the operation and maintenance of the property, it being agreed that all employees shall be deemed employees of Manager and not Owner. Owner’s insurance policies required hereunder shall not cover and the Owner shall not be liable for any wrong doing by Manager’s employees, any claims, costs, damages and liabilities, including but not limited to the defense of any claim or lawsuit arising out of the employment of any of the Manager’s employees. All approved costs and expenses associated with such employees (including, without limitation, wages and benefits) shall be costs of, billed to, and reimbursed by the Property.

 

2.3       Compliance with Laws. Manager shall comply with all governmental requirements relative to the performance of its duties hereunder and shall use diligent efforts to cause the Property to comply with all applicable governmental requirements. Manager represents that it is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Texas, that it is authorized to do business and is in good standing in the State of Illinois, and that it has all licenses and permits required to perform its duties under this Agreement.

 

(a)        Owner represents that it has no knowledge of any violations existing at or prior to the Start Date of any ordinances, laws, rules, regulations or orders (including, but not limited to, those relating to the disposal of solid, liquid and gaseous wastes or materials) of any city, county, state or federal government, or any public authority or official thereof, or of any court, having jurisdiction over it.

 

(b)        Except to the extent any existing violations resulted from the acts or omissions of Manager, Manager shall not have any responsibility or liability for violations existing at or prior to the Start Date of any ordinances, laws, rules, regulations or orders (including, but not limited to, those relating to the disposal of solid, liquid and gaseous wastes or materials) of any city, county, state or federal government, or any public authority or official thereof, or of any court, having jurisdiction over it, except to: (i) notify Owner promptly of any existing violations actually discovered by Manager: (ii) forward to Owner promptly any complaints, warning, notices or summonses received by it relating to such matters; and (iii) use diligent efforts to cure any such existing violations.

 


(c)       Manager shall have responsibility and, to the extent of its or its agents’ acts or omissions, liability for compliance of the Property and any of its equipment with the requirements of any and all ordinances, laws, rules, regulations or orders (including, but not limited to, those relating to the disposal of solid, liquid and gaseous wastes or materials) of any city, county, state or federal government, or any public authority or official thereof, or of any court, having jurisdiction over it on a going forward basis. Manager shall notify Owner promptly, and forward to Owner promptly, any complaints, warnings, notices or summonses received by it relating to such matters, and shall use diligent efforts to cure any violation relating to such complaints, warnings, notices or summonses.

 

(d)       Owner: (i) represents that the Property has not received any notice regarding non-compliance with all applicable legal requirements; (ii) authorizes Manager to disclose the ownership of the Property to any such officials; and (iii) agrees to indemnify, defend and save Manager, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, representatives and employees harmless from any and all losses, costs, damages, claims, fines, penalties, expenses and liabilities which may be imposed upon or threatened against any of them by reason of any current or future violation or alleged violation of such laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, or orders, or in connection with any bills or charges unpaid by Owner except for any violations resulting from the acts or omissions of any such indemnified party.

 

(e)        Manager shall furnish to Owner no later than the end of the third (3rd) business day after receipt by Manager each notice or order affecting the Property, including, without limitation, any notice from any taxing or other governmental authority, any notice of violation of any governmental requirement by the Property or Owner, any notice of default or otherwise from the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust, or any notice of renewal, termination or cancellation of or default under any insurance policy. Manager shall not take any action regarding such notice, order or requirement, however, as long as Owner is contesting or has notified Manager of its intention to contest such notice, order or requirement.

 

2.4      Approved Budget, Business Plan, Five Year Capital Improvement Plan. (a) Manager shall, under Owner’s guidance, prepare an annual capital and operating budget, including Business Plan and Five Year Capital Improvement Plan (together, the “Plans”), on a monthly basis for the projected revenue and the promotion, operation, staffing, repair, maintenance and improvement of the Property. The Plans shall be prepared on the budget cycle required by the Owner. Forms of the Plans are attached hereto as Exhibit A (Approved Budget) and Exhibit B (Business Plan and Five Year Plan). Such budget as amended by Owner from time to time and each subsequent annual budget as approved and amended from time to time by Owner is referred to herein as the Approved Budget. Owner may amend prospectively such Approved Budget at any time in its good faith discretion upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Manager. Manager shall promptly provide Owner with such information and explanation as may be, from time to time, requested by Owner in order to monitor compliance with or evaluate changes to

 


such Approved Budget. Any staff changes, including salary, hourly compensation levels, and bonus plans must be approved in writing by Owner.

 

(b)       Manager shall charge all expenses to the proper account as specified in a list of accounts theretofore approved by Owner. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.7, Manager shall obtain Owner’s prior approval for any expenditure that exceeds the applicable amount in the Approved Budget unless: (i) the amount over budget does not exceed: (A) Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250), and (B) Five percent (5%) of the annual applicable amount in the Approved Budget, and (ii) is, in the Manager’s reasonable judgment, required for the operation of the Property.

 

(c)       During each calendar year, Manager shall inform Owner of any increases or decreases in costs and expenses not included in the Approved Budget as soon as Manager becomes aware of such changes.

 

2.5       Leasing. (a) Manager shall have the exclusive authority to negotiate and execute all leases and lease renewals for the Property and to advertise the availability for rental of the Property or any part thereof, and to display signs thereon, using a standard lease form approved by Owner. Manager shall not give free rental or discounts or rent concessions except in accordance with specific discretion or promotions approved in writing by Owner or with the prior written approval of Owner.

 

(b)        Manager shall not, without the prior written approval of Owner, give or continue any free rent or discounts or rental concessions to any employees, representatives or affiliates of Manager or anyone related to such employees, representatives or affiliates. Manager shall not lease any space in the Property to itself or to any of its employees, representatives or affiliates, without the prior written consent of Owner.

 

(c)        Manager shall investigate all prospective tenants in accordance with credit standards approved by Owner, and shall not rent to persons not meeting such standards. If requested by Owner, Manager shall obtain a credit check for all prospective tenants from a credit investigation service approved by Owner, and shall reasonably investigate and document references with respect to income verification and prior rental history. Manager shall retain such information for the duration of the tenancy, and shall make it available to Owner upon reasonable notice. Manager does not guarantee the accuracy of any such information or the financial condition of any tenant.

 

(d)       Manager and Owner agree that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of persons on account of age, race, color, religion, creed, handicap, sex or national origin in the leasing or occupancy of the Property, nor shall Owner or Manager permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with respect to the selection, location, number or occupancy of tenants. In addition, Manager shall comply with all applicable local, state, and Federal regulations regarding non-discrimination.

 


2.6       Collection of Rents and Other Income. Manager shall regularly bill all tenants and use its best efforts to collect all rent and other charges due and payable from all tenants or from others for services provided in connection with the Property.

Manager shall deposit promptly all monies so collected in the Operating Account.

 

2.7       Repairs and Maintenance. (a) Manager shall maintain the buildings, appurtenances and grounds of the Property, other than areas which are the responsibility of tenants, including, without limitation, all ordinary and extraordinary repairs, cleaning, painting, decorations and alterations including electrical, plumbing, carpentry, masonry, elevators and such other routine repairs as are necessary or reasonably appropriate in the course of maintenance of the Property (subject to the limitations of this Agreement).

If Manager fails to cure such breach within the required period, this Agreement shall terminate at the end of such period. Failure of Owner to give notice to Manager for Manager’s Default hereunder shall not constitute a waiver by Owner of its rights and remedies against Manager.

TERMS OF ASSIGNMENT

3.1       REMEDIES OF LENDER. Upon or at any time after the occurrence of a default under this Assignment or an Event of Default (as defined in the Security Instrument) (a “Default”), the license granted to Borrower in Section 2.1 of this Assignment shall automatically be revoked, and Lender shall immediately be entitled to possession of all Rents and sums due under any Lease Guaranties, whether or not Lender enters upon or takes control of the Property. In addition, Lender may, at its option, without waiving such Default, without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Debt, either in person or by agent, nominee or attorney, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, dispossess Borrower and its agents and servants from the Property, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise and exclude Borrower and its agents or servants wholly therefrom, and take possession of the Property and all books, records and accounts relating thereto and have, hold, manage, lease and operate the Property on such terms and for such period of time as Lender may deem proper and either with or without taking possession of the Property in its own name, demand, sue for or otherwise collect and receive all Rents and sums due under all Lease Guaranties, including those past due and unpaid with full power to make from time to time all alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements thereto or thereof as may seem proper to

 


Lender and may apply the Rents and sums received pursuant to any Lease Guaranties to the payment of the following in such order and proportion as Lender in its sole discretion may determine, any law, custom or use to the contrary notwithstanding: (a) all expenses of managing and securing the Property, including, without being limited thereto, the salaries, fees and wages of a managing agent and such other employees or agents as Lender may deem necessary or desirable and all expenses of operating and maintaining the Property, including, without being limited thereto, all taxes, charges, claims, assessments, water charges, sewer rents and any other liens, and premiums for all insurance which Lender may deem necessary or desirable, and the cost of all alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements, and all expenses incident to taking and retaining possession of the Property; and (b) the Debt, together with all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Default, Lender, at its option, may (1) complete any construction on the Property in such manner and form as Lender deems advisable, (2) exercise all rights and powers of Borrower, including, without limitation, the right to negotiate, execute, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, sue for, collect and receive all Rents from the Property and all sums due under any Lease Guaranties, (3) either require Borrower to pay monthly in advance to Lender, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupancy of such part of the Property as may be in possession of Borrower or (4) require Borrower to vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Lender or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Borrower may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise.

 

3.2       OTHER REMEDIES. Lender shall have the right to have all Rents paid to a Lock-Box Account (as defined in the Security Instrument) pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 4.4 of the Security Instrument. Nothing contained in this Assignment and no act done or omitted by Lender pursuant to the power and rights granted to Lender hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver by Lender of its rights and remedies under the Note, the Security Instrument, or the other Loan Documents and this Assignment is made and accepted without prejudice to any of the rights and remedies possessed by Lender under the terms thereof. The right of Lender to collect the Debt and to enforce any other security therefor held by it may be exercised by Lender either prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to any action taken by it hereunder. Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all rights to assert any setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever with respect to the obligations of Borrower under this Assignment, the Note, the Security Instrument, the other Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to the Loan in any action or proceeding brought by Lender to collect same, or any portion thereof, or to enforce and realize upon the lien and security interest created by this Assignment, the Note, the Security Instrument, or any of the other Loan Documents (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver of Borrower’s right to assert any compulsory counterclaim if such counterclaim is compelled under local law or rule of procedure, nor shall the foregoing be deemed a waiver of Borrower’s right to assert any claim which would constitute a defense, setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever against Lender in any separate action or proceeding).

 

3.3       OTHER SECURITY. Lender may take or release other security for the payment of the Debt, may release any party primarily or secondarily liable therefor and may apply any other security held by it to the reduction or satisfaction of the Debt without prejudice to any of its rights under this Assignment.

 


 

3.4       NON-WAIVER. The exercise by Lender of the option granted it in Section 3.1 of this Assignment and the collection of the Rents and sums due under the Lease Guaranties and the application thereof as herein provided shall not be considered a waiver of any default by Borrower under the Note, the Security Instrument, the Leases, this Assignment or the other Loan Documents. The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Assignment. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower’s obligations hereunder by reason of (a) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower or any other party to take any action to enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, (b) the release regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or (c) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of this Assignment, the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Lender may take any action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to enforce its rights under this Assignment. The rights of Lender under this Assignment shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision.

 

 

3.5

BANKRUPTCY.

 

(a)       Upon or at any time after the occurrence of a Default, Lender shall have the right to proceed in its own name or in the name of Borrower in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Borrower, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the lessee under such Lease under the Bankruptcy Code.

 

(b)       If there shall be filed by or against Borrower a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, and Borrower, as lessor under any Lease, shall determine to reject such Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Borrower shall give Lender not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice of the date on which Borrower shall apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to reject the Lease. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Borrower within such ten-day period a notice stating that (i) Lender demands that Borrower assume and assign the Lease to Lender pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) Lender covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Lease. If Lender serves upon Borrower the notice described in the preceding sentence, Borrower shall not seek to reject the Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the notice shall have been given, subject to the performance by Lender of the covenant provided for in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

 

4.

NO LIABILITY. FURTHER ASSURANCES

Lender shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Leases or any Lease Guaranties or under or by reason of this Assignment and Borrower shall, and hereby agrees, to indemnify Lender for, and to hold Lender harmless from, any and all liability, loss or damage which may or might be incurred under the Leases, any Lease Guaranties or under or by reason of this Assignment and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever, including the defense of any such claims or demands which may be asserted against Lender by reason of any alleged obligations and undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in the Leases or any Lease Guaranties. Should Lender incur any such liability, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be secured by this Assignment and by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and Borrower shall reimburse Lender therefore immediately upon demand and upon the failure of Borrower so to do Lender may, at its option, declare all sums secured by this Assignment and by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents immediately due and payable. This Assignment shall not operate to place any obligation or liability for the control, care, management or repair of the Property upon Lender, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of the Leases or any Lease Guaranties; nor shall it operate to make Lender responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by any lessee or any other parties, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, including without limitation the presence of any Hazardous Substances (as defined in that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement executed by Borrower in favor of Lender as of even date herewith), or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee or stranger.

 

4.2       NO MORTGAGEE IN POSSESSION. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as constituting Lender a “mortgagee in possession” in the absence of the taking of actual possession of the Property by Lender. In the exercise of the powers herein granted Lender, no liability shall be asserted or enforced against Lender, all such liability being expressly waived and released by Borrower.

 

4.3       FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower will, at the cost of Borrower, and without expense to Lender, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, conveyances, assignments, notices of assignments, transfers and assurances as Lender shall, from time to time, require for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring and confirming unto Lender the property and rights hereby assigned or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Lender, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Assignment or for filing, registering or recording this Assignment and, on demand, will execute and deliver and hereby authorizes Lender to execute in the name of Borrower to the extent Lender may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements, chattel mortgages or comparable security instruments, to evidence more effectively the lien and security interest hereof in and upon the Leases.

 


 

5.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

5.1       CONFLICT OF TERMS. In case of any conflict between the terms of this Assignment and the terms of the Security Instrument, the terms of the Security Instrument shall prevail.

 

5.2       NO ORAL CHANGE.

Borrower’s obligations for the payment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations shall be referred to collectively below as the “Obligations.” All the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Note and the other Loan Documents are hereby made a part of this Security Instrument to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein. Anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, the

 


obligations of any guarantor under the Guaranty of Recourse Obligations of Borrower or any Guarantor or Indemnitor under any other separate guaranty or indemnity accepted by Lender shall not be secured by this Security Instrument, any separate assignment of leases or assignment of rents, or any other lien encumbering the Property; provided however that the obligations of Borrower under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement and under any separate indemnity of Borrower shall be so secured, subject to the rights of Lender to proceed on an unsecured basis thereunder pursuant to applicable law.

3.2

INSURANCE.

 

(a)       Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the coverages set forth herein:

 

(i)        comprehensive all risk insurance on the Improvements and the Personal Property in each case (A) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Security Instrument shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation; (B) containing either an agreed amount endorsement or a waiver of all co-insurance provisions; (C) providing for a deductible of not greater than $10,000.00; and (D) if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute a legal non-conforming structure or use, Borrower shall obtain an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement, which shall include sufficient coverage for (1) costs to comply with building and zoning codes and ordinances, (2) demolition costs, and (3) increased costs of construction. If any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area”, Borrower shall obtain flood hazard insurance in such an amount as Lender shall require, but in no event less than the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended. In addition, in the event the Property is located in the State of California or in a “seismic zone” 3 or 4 as defined in the Uniform Building Code published by the International Conference of Building Officials, Borrower shall obtain earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender;

 

(ii)       commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the “occurrence” form with a combined single limit (including “umbrella” coverage in place) of not less than (1) $3,000,000 AND A GENERAL AGGREGATE LIMIT OF NOT LESS THAN $4,000,000; or (2) if any of the

 


Improvements contain elevators, a combined single limit of not less than $5,000,000 and a general aggregate limit of $6,000,000; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; and (4) blanket contractual liability for all written and oral contracts, to the extent the same is available;

 

(iii)      business income insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in Subsection 3.2(a)(i); (C) on an agreed value actual loss sustained basis in an amount equal to 100% of the projected gross income from the Property for a period of twelve (12) months; and (D) if the Borrower is required to obtain an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement pursuant to Subsection 3.2(a)(i)(D), coverage for the increased period of restoration. The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. All insurance proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this Subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured hereunder from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured hereunder on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

 

(iv)      (A) at all times during which structural construction, material repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) during new construction the insurance provided for in Subsection 3.2(a)(i) written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form on a non-reporting basis;

 

(v)       if Borrower has employees, workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the state in which the Property is located, and employer’s liability insurance with a limit of at least $1,000,000.00 per accident and per disease per employee, and 1,000,000.00 aggregate coverage for disease in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its operation;

 

(vi)      if the Property contains HVAC or other equipment not covered by the comprehensive all risk insurance, comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender;

 

(vii)     if Borrower owns or operates motor vehicles, motor vehicle liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits reasonably acceptable to Lender; and

 


(viii)    such other insurance and in such amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.

 

(b)       All insurance provided for in Subsection 3.2(a) hereof shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, policy limits and any sub-limits thereof, forms (including exclusions and exceptions), deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Whether or not covered by the express terms of any Policy, Borrower shall not decline, elect not to accept, allow to lapse or fail to pay the required premium for any insurance coverage required to be extended or offered by any insurer by applicable law, rule or regulation without Lender’s prior written consent. The insurance companies must be approved, authorized or licensed to provide insurance in the state in which the Property is located and have a rating of “A” or better for claims paying ability assigned by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Rating Group or a general policy rating of “A-” or better and a financial class of VIII or better assigned by A.M. Best Company, Inc. Each such insurer shall be referred to herein as a “Qualified Insurer.”

 

(c)       Borrower shall not obtain (i) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, Lender’s interest is included therein as provided in this Security Instrument and such Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer, or (ii) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Subsection 3.2(a) to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, Borrower. In the event Borrower obtains separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket Policy, Borrower shall notify Lender of the same and shall cause certified copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in Subsection 3.2(e). Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property 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 Property in compliance with the provisions of Subsection 3.2(a).

 

(d)        All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Subsection 3.2(a), except for the Policy referenced in Subsection 3.2(a)(v), shall name Lender and Borrower as the insured or additional insured, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a “mortgagee clause” in form acceptable to Lender providing, among other things, that Lender shall receive at least thirty (30) days prior written notification of any termination, cancellation or reduction of insurance and that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

 

(e)       If not previously delivered to Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender no later than thirty (30) days after the date hereof certified copies of the existing Policies providing the insurance coverage required under Section 3.2(a) marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”) annually in advance. In addition, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies which Borrower is now or hereafter required to maintain hereunder, Borrower shall deliver to Lender certified copies of new or renewal Policies (also marked

 


“premium paid” or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the Insurance Premiums due thereunder annually in advance), together with certificates of insurance therefor, setting forth, among other things, the amounts of insurance maintained, the risks covered by such insurance and the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall furnish verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Lender. Under no circumstances shall Borrower be permitted to finance the payment of any portion of the Insurance Premiums.

 

(f)        If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by this Security Instrument and shall bear interest in accordance with Section 10.3 hereof.

 

(g)       If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, with such alterations as may be approved by Lender (the “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 4.3 of this Security Instrument, except in instances where Lender has failed or elected not to disburse Net Proceeds to Borrower under such Section 4.3 (provided that such exception shall not apply if the failure to disburse is attributable to Borrower’s failure to comply with the conditions set forth in Clauses (A), (D) or (I) of Subsection 4.3(b)(i) or in Subsection 4.3(b)(ii) or any other conditions set forth in Section 4.3 which Borrower has the practical ability to satisfy). Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.

 

(h)       In the event of foreclosure of this Security Instrument, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to such policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

 

3.3       PAYMENT OF TAXES. ETC. Borrower shall promptly pay all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, governmental impositions, and other charges, including without limitation vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the Land, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the “Taxes”), all ground rents, maintenance charges and similar charges, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the “Other Charges”), and all charges for utility services provided to the Property prior to the time same become delinquent. Borrower will deliver to Lender, promptly upon Lender’s request, evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes, Other Charges and utility service charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and

 


discharged any lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against the Property (“Liens”). Except to the extent sums sufficient to pay all Taxes and Other Charges have been deposited with Lender in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument, Borrower shall furnish to Lender paid receipts for the payment of the Taxes and Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent. Borrower shall not be required to pay any Taxes, Other Charges or Liens so long as Borrower shall in good faith contest the same or the validity thereof by appropriate legal proceedings which shall operate to prevent the collection of the Taxes, Other Charges or Liens so contested and the sale of the Property, or any part thereof to satisfy the same, provided that borrower shall, prior to any such contest, have given such security as may be reasonably required by Lender to ensure such payments and prevent any sale or forfeiture of the Property by reason of such nonpayment. Any such contest shall be prosecuted in accordance with the laws and rules pertaining to such contests and in all events with due diligence and Borrower shall promptly after final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Tax, Other Charge or Lien so determined, together with all interest and penalties, which may be payable in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, Borrower shall (and if Borrower shall fail so to do, Lender may but shall not be required to) pay any such Taxes, Other Charges or Liens notwithstanding such contest if in the reasonable opinion of Lender, the Property shall be in jeopardy or in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed.

 

 

3.4

RESERVES.

 

(a)       Borrower shall pay to Lender on each date that a regularly scheduled payment of principal or interest is due under the Note (a) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Taxes payable, or estimated by Lender to be payable, during the next ensuing twelve (12) months and (b) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums due for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof (the amounts in (a) and (b) above shall be called the “Escrow Fund”). Borrower agrees to notify Lender immediately of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of any Taxes and Insurance Premiums of which it has obtained knowledge and authorizes Lender or its agent to obtain the bills for Taxes and Other Charges directly from the appropriate taxing authority. Borrower may, on its own behalf, also engage a third party tax service provider, so long as Lender continues to receive such bills for Taxes and Other Charges uninterrupted. The Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 hereof. If the amount of the Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 hereof, Lender shall, in its discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Escrow Fund. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If the Escrow Fund is not sufficient to pay the items set forth in (a) and (b) above, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, an amount which Lender shall estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency. The Escrow Fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. No earnings or interest on the Escrow Fund shall be payable to Borrower.

 


(b)       Borrower shall comply with the Replacement Reserve Requirements set forth on Exhibit “B” attached hereto and made a part hereof.

 

3.5        CONDEMNATION. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Security Instrument and the Debt shall not be reduced until any award or payment therefor shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 4.3 of this Security Instrument, except in instances where Lender has failed or elected not to disburse Net Proceeds to Borrower under such Section 4.3 (provided that such exception shall not apply if the failure to disburse is attributable to Borrower’s failure to comply with the conditions set forth in Clauses (A), (D) or (I) of Subsection 4.3(b)(i) or in Subsection 4.3(b)(ii) or any other conditions set forth in Section 4.3 which Borrower has the practical ability to satisfy). If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the award or payment, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

 

 

3.6

LEASES AND RENTS.

 

(a)       Except as otherwise consented to by Lender, all Leases shall be written on the standard form of lease which shall have been approved by Lender. Upon request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases. No material changes may be made to the Lender-approved standard lease without the prior written consent of Lender. In addition, all renewals of Leases and all proposed leases shall provide for rental rates and terms comparable to existing local market rates and terms and shall be arms-length transactions with bona fide, independent third party tenants. All proposed commercial Leases and renewals of existing Leases for commercial space shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and its counsel, at Borrower’s expense. All Leases shall provide that they are subordinate to this Security Instrument and that the lessee agrees to attorn to Lender.

 

(b)       Borrower (i) shall observe and perform all the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of the Leases as security for the Obligations; (ii) shall enforce all of the terms, covenants and

 


conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed, short of termination thereof; provided however, a residential Lease may be terminated in the event of a default by the tenant thereunder; (iii) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one ( I ) month in advance; (iv) shall not execute any other assignment of the lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents; and (v) shall not consent to any assignment of or subletting under the Leases not in accordance with their terms, without the prior written consent of Lender.

Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of all Leases which are entered into pursuant to the preceding sentence together with Borrower’s certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the execution of the Lease.

 

(d)       All security deposits of tenants, whether held in cash or any other form, shall not be commingled with any other funds of Borrower and, if cash, shall be deposited by Borrower at such commercial or savings bank or banks as may be reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall, upon request, provide Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of Borrower’s compliance with the foregoing. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon Lender’s request, if permitted by any applicable legal requirements, turn over to Lender the security deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon) with respect to all or any portion of the Property, to be held by Lender subject to the terms of the Leases.

 

3.7       MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. Borrower shall cause the Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair. The Improvements and the Personal Property shall not be removed, demolished or materially altered (except for normal replacement of the Personal Property and tenant improvements made in connection with a Lease which has been entered into by Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof) without the consent of Lender. Subject to the provisions of Subsection 3.2(g) and Section 3.5, Borrower shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Property which may be destroyed by any casualty, or become damaged, worn or dilapidated or which may be affected by any proceeding of the character referred to in Section 3.5 hereof and shall complete and pay for any structure at any time in the process of construction or repair on the Land. Borrower shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Property or any part thereof. If under applicable zoning provisions the use of all or any portion of the Property is or shall

 


become a nonconforming use, Borrower will not cause or permit the nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned without the express written consent of Lender.

 

3.8       WASTE. Borrower shall not commit or suffer any waste of the Property or make any change in the use of the Property which will in any way materially increase the risk of fire or other hazard arising out of the operation of the Property, or take any action that might invalidate or give cause for cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit to be done thereon anything that may in any way materially impair the value of the Property or the security of this Security Instrument.

 

3.9        COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Borrower shall (i) promptly comply with all existing and future federal, state and local laws, orders, ordinances, governmental rules and regulations or court orders affecting the Property, or the use thereof including, but not limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) (collectively, the “Applicable Laws”), (ii) from time to time, upon Lender’s request, provide Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Property complies with all Applicable Laws or is exempt from compliance with Applicable Laws, (iii) give prompt notice to Lender of the receipt by Borrower of any notice related to a violation of any Applicable Laws and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with Applicable Laws, and (iv) take appropriate measures to prevent and will not engage in or knowingly permit any illegal activities at the Property.

(ii)        The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.3(b), shall constitute additional security for the Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded to the

(iii)       All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and approval in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the reasonable Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

 

(iv)      In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” as used in this Subsection 4.3(b) shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Subsection 4.3(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.3(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage, provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, and the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company insuring the lien of this Security Instrument. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

 


(v)       Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

 

(vi)      If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Subsection 4.3(b) shall constitute additional security for the Obligations. With respect to Restorations following a casualty in which the Improvements are restored to substantially the same condition as they existed prior to the casualty, the excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.3(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)        All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Subsection 4.3(b)(vi) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate, in its discretion. Provided no Event of Default exists under the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any prepayment premium or other prepayment consideration in connection with a prepayment resulting from the application of Net Proceeds to the Debt pursuant to the preceding sentence. Any such prepayment shall be applied to the principal last due under the Note and shall not release Borrower from the obligation to pay the Constant Monthly Payments (as defined in the Note) next becoming due under the Note and the Constant Monthly Payment shall not be adjusted or recalculated as a result of such partial prepayment. If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the lien of this Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt.

If in Lender’s judgment, the Manager’s performance in collecting Rents shall decline, Borrower shall irrevocably instruct and otherwise cause each party paying such Rents (including each tenant under any Lease) to make all payments (A) if by wire transfer, to the Lock Box Account, and (B) if by check, money order or similar manner of payment, by mail to a designated lock box (the “Lock Box”) within the exclusive control of Lender. Amounts deposited into the Lock-Box shall be collected and deposited daily by the Lock-Box Bank into the Lock-Box Account. Borrower agrees that if any Rents required to be deposited in the Lock Box Account shall be received by it or any affiliate or any manager of all or any portion of the Property, Borrower shall deposit or cause such Rents to be deposited in the Lock Box Account within one (1) Business Day of the receipt of such Rents by Borrower, any affiliate or any manager.

 

(c)        Amounts on deposit in the Lock Box Account on any date of payment of an installment of principal and interest under the Note shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) to pay any Taxes, Other Charges or Insurance Premiums then due and payable; (ii) to pay the Lock Box Bank’s fees; (iii) to pay interest and principal due on such date with respect to the Note; (iv) to replenish all reserves and escrow funds required to be paid by Borrower to Lender under the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents; and (v) to pay normal and customary operating expenses of the Property which have been approved by Lender (which approval, if no Event of Default shall exist at the time, shall not be unreasonably withheld).

10.7

OTHER RIGHTS. ETC.

 

(a)       The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument.

REPLACEMENT RESERVE REQUIREMENTS

 

 

1.

Defined Terms.

 

All capitalized terms used herein and not defined in the Security Instrument shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7 of this Exhibit “B.” To the extent any Reserve Deposit is assigned the meaning “none” in the Reserve Letter, the provisions set forth in this Exhibit “B” specifically relating to the making or application of such Reserve Deposits shall be disregarded.

 

 

2.

Reserve Deposits.

 

(a)       Concurrently with the execution of this Security Instrument, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the Deferred Maintenance Deposit. The Deferred Maintenance Deposit shall be applied as provided in Section 4 of this Exhibit “B.”

 

(b)       On the date hereof and on each date that a regularly scheduled payment of principal or interest is due under the Note, Borrower shall be required to make a Monthly Replacement Account Deposit which shall be deposited into an account (the “Replacement Account”) for the payment of Replacements.

 

 

(c)

[Intentionally deleted.]

 

(d)       Lender shall maintain a record of all deposits into and withdrawals from the Replacement Account. Lender or a designated representative of Lender shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Replacement Account.

 

(e)       No interest shall be paid on the Deferred Maintenance Deposit. Provided Borrower pays the account fees set forth below, the Replacement Account shall be an interest bearing account. Lender shall have no responsibility or liability for the amount of interest earned on the Replacement Account. A11 interest earned on funds in the Replacement Account shall be added to and become part of the Replacement Account, and shall be for the benefit of Borrower, subject to Lender’s rights pursuant to the terms of this Security Instrument. In order for the Replacement Account to bear interest, Borrower shall be required to pay a one-time set-up fee on the date hereof of Three Hundred Fifty and 00/100 Dollars ($350.00) and an additional fee of Six Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($600.00) on January 2 of each calendar year after the date hereof.

 

 

3.

Disbursements.

 

(a)       Provided no Event of Default exists, Lender shall make disbursements of funds available in the Replacement Account to reimburse Borrower for Replacements.

 

 

(b)

[Intentionally deleted.]

 

 


(c)       Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 3, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Account necessary to reimburse Borrower for the actual costs of any work relating to Replacements (the “Work”).

 

(d)       Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender, and shall be accompanied by evidence of satisfactory completion of the Work and such bills, invoices and other evidence of the incurrence of the related costs and expenses as Lender may reasonably request.

 

(e)        Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Account more frequently than once in any calendar quarter.

 

(f)        Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Account in an amount less than the lesser of (i) Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000.00), and (ii) the total cost of the Replacement for which the disbursement is requested.

 

 

4.

Performance of Replacements.

 

(a)       Deferred Maintenance. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower agrees to perform all of the Scheduled Repairs within sixty (60) days after the date hereof or such other period of time, if any, set forth in the Reserve Letter. In the event that the Borrower shall not complete the Scheduled Repairs within such period of time the Borrower shall pay to the servicer      administering the Deferred Maintenance Deposit the sum of $150.00 per month until the Scheduled Repairs are completed and approved. The payment of such sums shall not be deemed to extend the period of time allowed herein for completion of the Scheduled Repairs. Such sum is intended to reimburse the servicer for the costs incurred in administering the deposit. The Deferred Maintenance Deposit shall be used solely for the payment of the actual costs of the Scheduled Repairs. Upon completion of the Scheduled Repairs in accordance with the requirements hereof, the portion of the Deferred Maintenance Deposit remaining undisbursed, if any, shall be disbursed to Borrower. All conditions, covenants and agreements set forth herein with respect to a disbursement from the Replacement Account shall apply to the disbursements from the Deferred Maintenance Deposit.

 

(b)       Entry Onto Property: Inspections. Lender may inspect the Property in connection with any Work prior to disbursing funds from the Replacement Account with respect thereto. In connection with any Work that is (i) a structural repair or improvement, (ii) a replacement or repair of a major component or element of any part of the Property or (iii) Scheduled Repairs, Lender may require, at Borrower’s expense, one or more inspections and/or certificates of completion by an appropriate independent, qualified professional (e.g., architect, engineer, consultant) approved by Lender. In addition to Lender’s costs and expenses, Borrower shall pay Lender a reasonable inspection fee, provided, however, such fees shall not exceed Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($500.00), in the aggregate, in any calendar year.

 

 


 

5.

Borrower’s Records.

 

Borrower shall furnish such financial statements, invoices, records, papers and documents relating to the Property as Lender may reasonably require from time to time to make the determinations permitted or required to be made by Lender with respect to disbursements of the Deferred Maintenance Deposit and/or the Replacement Account.

 

 

6.

Insufficiency of Reserve Balances, Temporary Deferral of Monthly Deposits.

 

The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Account or the Deferred Maintenance Deposit shall not abrogate Borrower’s agreement to fulfill its obligations contained in this Security Instrument. In the event Lender determines that (i) the balance in the Replacement Account is less than the current estimated cost to complete the Work which Borrower, in the prudent operation of the Property can reasonably be anticipated to incur during the succeeding twenty-four (24) months, or (ii) the balance of the Deferred Maintenance Deposit is less than the amount necessary to complete the Scheduled Repairs, Borrower shall deposit the shortage within ten (10) days of request by Lender. In the event Lender determines from time to time based on Lender’s inspections that the amount of the Monthly Replacement Account Deposit is insufficient to fund the cost of likely Work and related contingencies that may arise during the remaining term of the Loan, Lender may require an increase in the amount of the Monthly Replacement Account Deposit upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Borrower. Lender may approve a temporary deferral or a reduction in the amount of the Monthly Replacement Account Deposit; provided, however, that if Lender approves either a temporary deferral or reduction in the amount of the Monthly Replacement Account Deposit, such action by Lender shall not prevent Lender from requiring Borrower to resume payment of the Monthly Replacement Account Deposit on any date that Lender may deem appropriate.

Capitalized terms used herein and not specifically defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to those terms in the Security Instrument.

 

It is expressly understood and agreed that this is a continuing guaranty and that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder are and shall be absolute under any and all circumstances, without regard to the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Note, the Security Instrument, or the other Loan Documents, a true copy of each of said documents Guarantor hereby acknowledges having received and reviewed.

 

The term “Debt,” as used in this Guaranty, shall mean the principal sum evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Instrument, or so much thereof as may be outstanding from time to time, together with interest thereon at the rate of interest specified in the Note and all other sums other than principal or interest which may or shall become due and payable pursuant to the provisions of the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.

 

The term “Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower,” as used in this Guaranty, shall mean all obligations and liabilities of Borrower set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b) below for which Borrower shall be personally liable pursuant to the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents:

 

(a)    any and all Losses (as hereinafter defined) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Lender and directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with any of the following: (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower, its agents or principals, (ii) Borrower’s misapplication or misappropriation of (A) Rents received by Borrower after the occurrence of an Event of Default, (B) tenant security deposits or Rents collected in advance, or (C) insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, (iii) Borrower’s failure to pay Taxes, Insurance Premiums, Other Charges (except to the extent that sums sufficient to pay such amounts have been deposited in escrow with Lender pursuant to the terms of the

 


Security Instrument), charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create liens on the Property, provided that Guarantor’s liability under this clause (iii) shall not exceed an amount equal to the net operating income of the Property for the twelve (12) month period preceding the related failure to pay, less the amount of all Constant Monthly Payments (as defined in the Note) and required reserve payments made by Borrower in accordance with the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents during such twelve (12) month period, (iv) Borrower’s failure to comply with the provisions of Sections 3.10, 5.9 or 16.1 of the Security Instrument, or (v) Borrower’s or any other Indemnitor’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Environmental Indemnity.

 

(b)        the entire Debt outstanding (i) in the event of Borrower’s default under Sections 4.2 or 8.2 of the Security Instrument, (ii) if the Property or any part thereof shall become an asset in (I) a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or (2) an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding (A) which is commenced by any member of the Borrowing Group or (B) in which any member of the Borrowing Group objects to a motion by Lender for relief from any stay or injunction from the foreclosure of the Security Instrument or any other remedial action permitted under the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, or (iii) if a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the granting, execution or delivery of the Security Instrument or any other Loan Documents is or constitutes a fraudulent conveyance under any bankruptcy, insolvency or fraudulent conveyance law or is otherwise voidable under any such laws.

 

The term “Losses” includes any and all claims, suits, liabilities (including, without limitation, strict liabilities), actions, proceedings, obligations, debts, damages, losses, costs, expenses, diminutions in value, fines, penalties, charges, fees, expenses, judgments, awards, amounts paid in settlement, punitive damages, foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages, of whatever kind or nature (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and other costs of defense).

 

Any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor now or hereafter existing (including, but not limited to, any rights to subrogation Guarantor may have as a result of any payment by Guarantor under this Guaranty), together with any interest thereon, shall be, and such indebtedness is, hereby deferred, postponed and subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Debt. Until payment in full of the Debt (and including interest accruing on the Note after the commencement of a proceeding by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, 11 U.S.C. Sections 101 et seq., and the regulations adopted and promulgated pursuant thereto (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Code”) which interest the parties agree shall remain a claim that is prior and superior to any claim of Guarantor notwithstanding any contrary practice, custom or ruling in cases under the Bankruptcy Code generally), Guarantor agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor and hereby assigns such indebtedness to Lender, including the right to file proof of claim and to vote thereon in connection with any such proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, including the right to vote on any plan of reorganization. Further, if Guarantor shall comprise more than one person, firm or corporation, Guarantor agrees that until such payment in full of the Debt, (a) no one of them shall accept payment from the others by way of contribution on account of any payment made hereunder by such party to Lender, (b) no one of them will take any action to exercise or enforce any rights to such contribution, and (c) if any of Guarantor should receive any

 


payment, satisfaction or security for any indebtedness of Borrower to any of Guarantor or for any contribution by the others of Guarantor for payment made hereunder by the recipient to Lender, the same shall be delivered to Lender in the form received, endorsed or assigned as may be appropriate for application on account of, or as security for, the Debt and until so delivered, shall be held in trust for Lender as security for the Debt.

 

Guarantor agrees that, with or without notice or demand, Guarantor will reimburse Lender, to the extent that such reimbursement is not made by Borrower, for all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower or any portion thereof or with the enforcement of this Guaranty.

 

All moneys available to Lender for application in payment or reduction of the Debt may be applied by Lender in such manner and in such amounts and at such time or times and in such order and priority as Lender may see fit to the payment or reduction of such portion of the Debt as Lender may elect.

 

Guarantor hereby waives notice of the acceptance hereof, presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of protest, or any and all notice of non-payment, non-performance or non-observance, or other proof, or notice or demand, whereby to charge Guarantor therefor.

 

Guarantor further agrees that the validity of this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected or impaired (a) by reason of the assertion by Lender of any rights or remedies which it may have under or with respect to either the Note, the Security Instrument, or the other Loan Documents, against any person obligated thereunder or against the owner of the Property, or (b) by reason of any failure to file or record any of such instruments or to take or perfect any security intended to be provided thereby, or (c) by reason of the release or exchange of any property covered by the Security Instrument or other collateral for the Loan, or (d) by reason of Lender’s failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any such right or remedy or any right or remedy Lender may have hereunder or in respect to this Guaranty, or (e) by reason of the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code by or against any person obligated under the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, or the death of any Guarantor, or (f) by reason of any payment made on the Debt or any other indebtedness arising under the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, whether made by Borrower or Guarantor or any other person, which is required to be refunded pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law; it being understood that no payment so refunded shall be considered as a payment of any portion of the Debt, nor shall it have the effect of reducing the liability of Guarantor hereunder. It is further understood, that if Borrower shall have taken advantage of, or be subject to the protection of, any provision in the Bankruptcy Code, the effect of which is to prevent or delay Lender from taking any remedial action against Borrower, including the exercise of any option Lender has to declare the Debt due and payable on the happening of any default or event by which under the terms of the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, the Debt shall become due and payable, Lender may, as against Guarantor, nevertheless, declare the Debt due and payable and enforce any or all of its

 


rights and remedies against Guarantor provided for herein.

 

Guarantor further covenants that this Guaranty shall remain and continue in full force and effect as to any modification, extension or renewal of the Note, the Security Instrument, or any of the other Loan Documents, that Lender shall not be under a duty to protect, secure or insure any security or lien provided by the Security Instrument or other such collateral, and that other indulgences or forbearance may be granted under any or all of such documents, all of which may be made, done or suffered without notice to, or further consent of, Guarantor.

 

With respect to any claim or action arising hereunder, Guarantor (a) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State in which the Property is located and the United States District Court located in the county in which the Property is located, and appellate courts from any thereof, (b) irrevocably waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying on venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty brought in any such court, and (c) irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and upon any default of Borrower under the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, Lender may, at its option, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against Guarantor to collect and recover the full amount of the liability hereunder or any portion thereof, without proceeding against Borrower or any other person, or foreclosing upon, selling, or otherwise disposing of or collecting or applying against any of the mortgaged property or other collateral for the Loan. Guarantor hereby waives the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to the obligation hereunder.

 

All notices or other written communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been properly given (i) upon delivery, if delivered in person with receipt acknowledged by the recipient thereof, (ii) one (1) Business Day (defined below) after having been deposited for overnight delivery with any reputable overnight courier service, or (iii) three (3) Business Days after having been deposited in any post office or mail depository regularly maintained by the U.S. Postal Service and sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, EVEREST HICKORY GLEN, LP, a Kansas limited partnership, as maker, having its principal place of business at c/o Everest Properties, 199 South Los Robles Avenue, Suite 200, Pasadena, California 91101 (“Borrower”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of LEHMAN BROTHERS BANK, FSB, a federal stock savings bank, having its principal place of business at c/o Lehman Brothers, Inc., 1000 West Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801, Attention: John Herman (“Lender”), or at such other place as the holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of Nine Million and 00/100 Dollars ($9,000,000.00), in lawful money of the United States of America with interest thereon to be computed from the date of disbursement under this Note at the Applicable Interest Rate (defined below), and to be paid in installments as provided herein.

 

1 .

CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS

 

As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

 

(a)       “Accrual Period” shall mean the period commencing on the eleventh (11th) day of a calendar month and ending on the tenth (10th) day of the succeeding calendar month; provided that if this Note is dated as of any date other than the eleventh (11th) day of a month, the first Accrual Period shall (i) consist of only the date hereof, if the date hereof is the tenth (10th) day of a month, or (ii) commence on the date hereof and shall end on the next tenth (10th) day of a calendar month to occur after the date hereof.

2.

PAYMENT TERMS

 

(a)        If this Note is dated as of a date other than the eleventh (11th) day of a calendar month, a payment shall be due from Borrower to Lender on the date hereof on account of all interest scheduled to accrue on the principal sum from and after the date of disbursement hereunder through and including the last day of the current Accrual Period. The Monthly Payment shall be due from Borrower to Lender on each Monthly Payment Date, with each Monthly Payment to be applied to the payment of interest which has accrued during the preceding Accrual Period computed at the Applicable Interest Rate. The balance of the principal sum and all interest thereon shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. Interest on the principal sum of this Note shall be calculated by multiplying the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which interest is being calculated by a daily rate based on a 360-day year.

 

(b)        Unless otherwise directed by Lender in writing, at all times during which the Debt (defined below) shall remain outstanding, Borrower shall maintain (i) an account (“Borrower Account”) with a commercial bank that shall be a member of the automated clearing house system (the “ACH System”) and (ii) such authorizations as may be necessary to enable Lender or its designated collecting agent to obtain payments due under the Loan Documents from the Borrower Account through the ACH System. Borrower shall not terminate the Borrower Account or such authorizations at any time during the term of this Loan without having provided sixty (60) days’ prior written notice thereof to Lender, which notice shall specify the institution at which a substitute Borrower Account has been established and the account number of such substitute Borrower Account, and certifying that all authorizations necessary to enable Lender or its collecting agent to obtain payments due under the Loan Documents from such substitute Borrower Account through the ACH System have been given and are then in effect.

equal to such payment to be available for withdrawal from the Borrower Account by Lender or its collecting agent.

 

(c)       Unless payments are made in the required amount in immediately available funds at the place where this Note is payable, remittances in payment of all or any part of the Debt (defined below) shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefore, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by Lender in funds immediately available at the place where this Note is payable (or any other place as Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, may have established by delivery of written notice thereof to Borrower) and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practice of the collecting bank or banks.

(a)       The whole of the principal sum of this Note, (b) interest, default interest, late charges and other sums, as provided in this Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, (c) all other monies agreed or provided to be paid by Borrower in this Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, (d) all sums advanced pursuant to the Security Instrument to protect and preserve the Property and the lien and the security interest created thereby, and (e) all sums advanced and costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Debt (defined below) or any part thereof, any renewal, extension, or change of or substitution for the Debt or any part thereof, or the acquisition or perfection of the security therefor, whether made or incurred at the request of Borrower or Lender (all the sums referred to in (a) through (e) above shall collectively be referred to as the “Debt”) shall without notice become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender if any payment required in this Note prior to the Maturity Date is not paid on the date when due or on the happening of any other default, after the expiration of any applicable notice and grace periods, herein or under the terms of the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents (collectively, an “Event of Default”).

 

4.

DEFAULT INTEREST

 

Borrower does hereby agree that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall be entitled to receive and Borrower shall pay interest on the entire unpaid principal sum at a rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to (i) the greater of (a) the Applicable Interest Rate plus three percent (3%) and (b) the Prime Rate (as hereinafter defined) plus four percent (4%) or (ii) the maximum interest rate that Borrower may by law pay, whichever is lower. The Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of the date upon which the Event of Default is cured or the date upon which the Debt is paid in full. Interest calculated at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, and shall be deemed secured by the Security Instrument. This provision, however, shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default.

 


The “Prime Rate” shall mean the annual rate of interest publicly announced by Citibank, N.A. in New York, New York, as its base rate, as such rate shall change from time to time. If Citibank, N.A. ceases to announce a base rate, Prime Rate shall mean the rate of interest published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time as the Prime Rate. If more than one Prime Rate is published in The Wall Street Journal for a day, the average of the Prime Rates shall be used, and such average shall be rounded up to the nearest one quarter of one percent (25%). If The Wall Street Journal ceases to publish the “Prime Rate”, the Lender shall select an equivalent publication that publishes such “Prime Rate”, and if such prime rates are no longer generally published or are limited, regulated or administered by a governmental or quasigovernmental body, then Lender shall select a comparable interest rate index.

 

5.

PREPAYMENT; DEFEASANCE

 

(a)       Borrower shall not have the right or privilege to prepay all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note until the Monthly Payment Date which is one (1) month prior to the Maturity Date. From and after such date, provided no Event of Default exists, the principal balance of this Note may be prepaid, in whole but not in part, upon: (i) not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice (the “Prepayment Notice”) to Lender specifying the scheduled payment date on which prepayment is to be made (the “Prepayment Date”); (ii) payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note to and including the Prepayment Date together with a payment of all interest which would have accrued on the principal balance of this Note to and including the last day of the Accrual Period in which the Prepayment Date occurs, if such prepayment occurs on a date which is not the eleventh (11th) day of a calendar month (the “Shortfall Interest Payment”); and (iii) payment of all other sums then due under this Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the principal balance of this Note unless it is accompanied by all sums due in connection therewith.

(G)

such other certificates, documents or instruments as Lender may reasonably request.

 

The Defeasance Deposit shall be used to purchase Government Securities which provide payments which are (A) payable on or prior to, but as close as possible to, all successive Monthly Payment Dates after the Release Date and the Maturity Date and (B) in amounts necessary to meet the scheduled payments of principal and interest due under this Note on such dates (the “Scheduled Defeasance Payments”).

(2)

The term “Government Securities” shall mean (A) U.S. Treasury Obligations and (B) Non-U.S. Treasury Obligations;

 

 

(3)

The term “U.S. Treasury Obligations” shall mean direct, non-callable, fixed rate obligations of the United States of America; and

 

 

(4)

The term “Reinvestment Yield” as used herein shall be equal to the lesser of (a) the (i) yield on the U.S. Treasury issue (primary issue) with the same maturity date as the Maturity Date; or (ii) if no such U.S. Treasury issue is available, then the interpolated yield on the two U.S. Treasury issues (primary issues) with maturity dates (one prior to and one following) that are closest to the Maturity Date; or (b) the (i) yield on the U.S. Treasury issue (primary issue) with a term equal to the remaining average life of the Debt, or (ii) if no such U.S. Treasury issue is available, then the interpolated yield on the two U.S. Treasury issues (primary issues) with terms (one prior to and one following) that are closest to the remaining average life of the Debt, with each such yield being based on the bid price for such issue as published in The Wall Street Journal on the date that is 14 days prior to the Repayment Date (or, if such bid price is not published on that date, the

 


next preceding date on which such bid price is so published) and converted to a monthly compounded nominal yield. The term “Payment Differential” as used herein shall be equal to (x) the Applicable Interest Rate minus the Reinvestment Yield, divided by (y) 12 and multiplied by (z) the principal sum being repaid on such Repayment Date after application of the Monthly Payment (if any) due on the date of the Default Repayment, provided that the Payment Differential shall in no event be less than zero. In no event, however, shall Lender be required to reinvest any repayment proceeds in U.S. Treasury obligations or otherwise.

 

For purposes of this Note, the term “Default Repayment” shall mean a repayment of all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note made during the continuance of any Event of Default or after an acceleration of the Maturity Date under any circumstances, including, without limitation, a repayment occurring in connection with reinstatement of the Security Instrument provided by statute under foreclosure proceedings or exercise of a power of sale, any statutory right of redemption exercised by Borrower or any other party having a statutory right to redeem or prevent foreclosure, any sale in foreclosure or under exercise of a power of sale or otherwise.

This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Note, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and all previous payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Debt, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding.

 

 


8.

LATE CHARGE

 

If any sum payable under this Note is not paid on the date on which it is due, regardless of whether such failure shall constitute an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of the unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to defray the expenses incurred by Lender in handling and processing the delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of the delinquent payment and the amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

 

9.

NO ORAL CHANGE

 

This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.

 

10.

JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY

 

If Borrower consists of more than one person or party, the obligations and liabilities of each person or party shall be joint and several.

 

11.

WAIVERS, ETC.

 

All payments required hereunder shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoff, defense or counterclaim. Borrower and all others who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of the Debt do hereby severally waive presentment and demand for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest and non-payment and all other notices of any kind, other than notices specifically required by the terms of this Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(b) relating to the Defeasance Deposit, no release of any security for the Debt or extension of time for payment of this Note or any installment hereof, and no alteration, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents made by agreement between Lender or any other person or party shall release, modify, amend, waive, extend, change, discharge, terminate or affect the liability of Borrower, and any other person or entity who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of the Debt, under this Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. No notice to or demand on Borrower shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation of Borrower or of the right of Lender to take further action without further notice or demand as provided for in this Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. In addition, acceptance by Lender of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and the failure to pay the entire amount then due shall be and continue to be an Event of Default. I f Borrower is a partnership, the agreements herein contained shall remain in force and applicable, notwithstanding any changes in the individuals comprising the partnership, and the term “Borrower,” as used herein, shall

 


include any alternate or successor partnership, but any predecessor partnership and their partners shall not thereby be released from any liability. If Borrower is a corporation or limited liability company, the agreements contained herein shall remain in full force and applicable notwithstanding any changes in the shareholders or members comprising, or the officers and directors or managers relating to, the corporation or limited liability company, and the term “Borrower” as used herein, shall include any alternative or successor corporation or limited liability company, but any predecessor corporation or limited liability company shall not be relieved of liability hereunder. (Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall be construed as a consent to, or a waiver of, any prohibition or restriction on transfers of interests in a partnership, corporation or limited liability company which may be set forth in the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document.).

 

12.

TRANSFER

 

Upon the transfer of this Note, Borrower hereby waiving notice of any such transfer, Lender may deliver all the collateral mortgaged, granted, pledged or assigned pursuant to the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, or any part thereof, to the transferee who shall thereupon become vested with all the rights herein or under applicable law given to Lender with respect thereto, and Lender shall thereafter forever be relieved and fully discharged from any liability or responsibility in the matter; but Lender shall retain all rights hereby given to it with respect to any liabilities and the collateral not so transferred.

 

13.

WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY

 

BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE LOAN, THE APPLICATION FOR THE LOAN, THIS NOTE, THE SECURITY INSTRUMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF LENDER, ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS OR AGENTS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

 

14.

EXCULPATION

 

(a)       Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Security Instrument or in the other Loan Documents, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in this Note or the Security Instrument by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may sell the Property under any power of sale or right of non-judicial foreclosure or bring a foreclosure action, confirmation action, action for specific performance or other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon this Note, the Security Instrument, the other Loan Documents, and the interest in the Property, the Rents (as defined in the Security Instrument) and any other

 


collateral given to Lender created by this Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender. Lender, by accepting this Note and the Security instrument, agrees that it shall not, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.10 of the Security Instrument, sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding, under or by reason of or under or in connection with this Note, the other Loan Documents or the Security Instrument. The provisions of this Article shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by this Note, the other Loan Documents or the Security Instrument; (ii) [Intentionally Deleted]; (iii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for judicial foreclosure and sale under the Security Instrument; (iv) affect the validity or enforceability of any indemnity, guaranty, master lease or similar instrument made in connection with this Note, the Security Instrument, or the other Loan Documents; (v) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (vi) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases and Rents executed in connection herewith; (vii) impair the right of Lender to obtain a deficiency judgment or judgment on the Note against Borrower if necessary to obtain any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards to which Lender would otherwise be entitled under the Security Instrument; provided however, Lender shall only enforce such judgment against the insurance proceeds and/or condemnation awards; or (viii) impair the right of Lender to enforce the provisions of Sections 10.10, 11.2 and 11.3 of the Security Instrument.

 

(b)       Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 14 to the contrary, Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for the Losses (as defined in the Security Instrument) it incurs due to: (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower, its agents or principals, (ii) Borrower’s misapplication or misappropriation of (A) Rents received by Borrower after the occurrence of an Event of Default, (B) tenant security deposits or Rents collected in advance, or (C) insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, (iii) Borrower’s failure to pay Taxes (as defined in the Security Instrument), Insurance Premiums (as defined in the Security Instrument), Other Charges (as defined in the Security Instrument) (except to the extent that sums sufficient to pay such amounts have been deposited in escrow with Lender pursuant to the terms of the Security Instrument), charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create liens on the Property, provided that Borrower’s liability under this clause (iii) shall not exceed an amount equal to the net operating income of the Property for the twelve (12) month period preceding the related failure to pay, less the amount of all Monthly Payments and required reserve payments made by Borrower in accordance with this Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents during such twelve (12) month period, (iv) Borrower’s failure to comply with the provisions of Sections 3.10, 5.9 or 16.1 of the Security Instrument, or (v) Borrower’s or any other indemnitor’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Environmental Indemnity (as defined in the Security Instrument).

 

(c)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the agreement of Lender not to pursue recourse liability as set forth in Subsection (a) above SHALL BECOME NULL AND

 


VOID and shall be of no further force and effect (i) in the event of Borrower’s default under Sections 4.2 or 8.2 of the Security Instrument, or (ii) if the Property or any part thereof shall become an asset in (1) a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or (2) an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding (A) which is commenced by any party controlling, controlled by or under common control with Borrower (which shall include, but not be limited to, any creditor or claimant acting in concert with Borrower or any of the foregoing parties) (the “Borrowing Group”) or (B) in which any member of the Borrowing Group objects to a motion by Lender for relief from any stay or injunction from the foreclosure of the Security Instrument or any other remedial action permitted hereunder or under the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, or (iii) if a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the granting, execution or delivery of the Security Instrument or any other Loan Documents is or constitutes a fraudulent conveyance under any bankruptcy, insolvency or fraudulent conveyance law or is otherwise voidable under any such laws.

 

(d)       Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Lender may have under Sections 506(a), 506(b), 11 1 l(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with this Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the making of the loan evidenced by the Note by Assignee to Assignor and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Assignor does hereby irrevocable, absolutely and unconditionally transfer, sell, assign, pledge and convey to Assignee, its successors an designs, all of the right, title and interest of Assignor in and to:

 

(a)      Any and all leases, licenses, rental agreements and occupancy agreements of whatever form now or hereafter affecting all or any part of the Property and any and all guarantees, extensions, renewals, replacements and modifications thereof (collectively, the “Leases”); and

 


 

(b)      all deposits (whether for security or otherwise), rents, issues, profits, revenues, royalties, accounts, rights, benefits and income of every nature of and from the Property, including, without limitation, minimum rents, additional rents, termination payments, forfeited security deposits, liquidated damages following default and all proceeds payable under any policy of insurance covering loss of rents resulting from untenantability due to destruction or damage to the Property, together with the immediate and continuing right to collect and receive the same, whether now due or hereafter becoming due, and together with all rights and claims of any kind that Assignor may have against any tenant, lessee or licensee under the Leases or against any other occupant of the Property (collectively, the “Rents”).

 

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the same unto Assignee, its successors and assigns.

 

IT IS AGREED that, notwithstanding that this instrument is a present, absolute and executed assignment of the Rents and of the Leases and a present, absolute and executed grant of the powers herein granted to Assignee, Assignor is hereby permitted, at the sufferance of Assignee and at its discretion, and is hereby granted a license by Assignee, to retain possession of the Leases and to collect and retain the Rents unless and until there shall be an Event of Default under the terms of any of the Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence of such Event of Default the aforementioned license granted to Assignor shall automatically terminate without notice to Assignor, and Assignee may thereafter, without taking possession of the Property, take possession of the Leases and collect the Rents. Further, from and after such termination, Assignor shall be the agent of Assignee in collection of the Rents, and any Rents so collected by Assignor shall be held in trust by Assignor for the sole and exclusive benefit of Assignee and Assignor shall, within one (1) business day after receipt of any Rents, pay the same to Assignee to be applied by Assignee as hereinafter set forth. Furthermore, from and after such Event of Default and termination of the aforementioned license, Assignee shall have the right and authority, without any notice whatsoever to Assignor and without regard to the adequacy of the security therefor, to: (a) make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Property, as particularly set forth in the Deed of Trust, (b) manage and operate the Property, with full power to employ agents to manage the same; (c) demand, collect, receive and sue for the Rents, including those past due an unpaid; and (d) do all acts relating to such management of the Property, including, but not limited to, negotiation of new Leases, making adjustments of existing Leases, contracting and paying for repairs and replacements to the Improvements and to the fixtures, equipment and personal property located in the improvements or used in any way in the operation, use and occupancy of the Property as in the soles subjective judgment and discretion of Assignee may be necessary to maintain the same in a tenantable condition, purchasing and paying for such additional furniture and equipment as in the sole subjective

 


judgment of Assignee may be necessary to maintain a proper rental income from the Property, employing necessary managers and other employees, purchasing fuel, providing utilities and paying for all other expenses incurred in the operation of the Property, maintaining adequate insurance coverage over hazards customarily insured against and paying the premiums therefor. Assignee may apply the Rents received by Assignor from the Property, after deducting the costs of collection thereof, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and management fee for any management agent so employed, against amounts expended for repairs, upkeep, maintenance, service, fuel, utilities, taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and such other expenses as Assignee incurs in connection with the operation of the Property and against interest, principal, required escrow deposits and other sums which have or which may become due, from time to time, under the terms of the Loan Documents, in such order or priority as to any of the items so mentioned as Assignee, in its sole subjective discretion, may determine. The exercise by Assignee of the rights granted Assignee in this paragraph, and the collection of, the Rents and the application thereof as herein provided, shall not be considered a waiver by Assignee of any Event of Default under the Loan Documents or prevent foreclosure of any liens on the Property nor shall such exercise make Assignee liable under any of the Leases, Assignee hereby expressly reserving all of its rights and privileges under the Deed of Trust and other Loan Documents as fully as though this Assignment had not been entered into.

 

Without limiting the rights granted hereinabove, in the event Assignor shall fail to make any payment or to perform any act required under the terms hereof and such failure shall not be cured within any applicable grace or cure period, then Assignee may, but shall not be obligated to, without prior notice to or demand on Assignor, and without releasing Assignor from any obligation hereof, make or perform the same in such manner and to such extent as Assignee may deem necessary to protect the security hereof, including specifically, without limitation, appearing and defending any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Assignee, performing or discharging any obligation, covenant or agreement of Assignor under any of the Leases, and, in exercising any of such powers, paying all necessary costs and expenses, employing counsel and incurring and paying attorneys’ fees. Any sum advanced or paid by Assignee for any such purpose, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date paid or advanced by Assignee until repaid by Assignor, shall immediately be due and payable to Assignee by Assignor on demand and shall be secured by the Deed of Trust and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.

No collection by Assignee of any Rents pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute or result in a waiver of any default then existing hereunder or under any of the other loan Documents.

 

14.       If any provision under this Assignment or the application thereof to any entity, person or circumstance shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Assignment and the application of the provisions hereof to other entities, persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

19.      This Assignment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Property is located, except to the extent that any of such laws may now or hereafter be preempted by Federal law, in which case such Federal law shall so govern and be controlling; and provided further that the laws of the state in which the real property on Exhibit “A” attached hereto is located shall govern as to the creation, priority and enforcement of liens and security interests property located in such state.

- 9 -

 


document or instrument is superior or subordinate to this Deed of Trust.

 

1.4       Insurance. Grantor shall, at Grantor’s expense, maintain in force and effect on the Property at all times while this Deed of Trust continues in effect the following insurance:

 

(a)       Insurance against loss or damage to the Property by fire, windstorm, tornado and hail and against loss and damage by such other, further and additional risks as may be now or hereafter embraced by an “all-risk” or “special form” type of insurance policy. The amount of such insurance shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost (insurable value) of the Improvements (as established by an MAI appraisal), without reduction for depreciation. The determination of the replacement cost amount shall be adjusted annually to comply with the requirements of the insurer issuing such coverage or, at Beneficiary’s election, by reference to such indices, appraisals or information as Beneficiary determines in its reasonable discretion in order to reflect increased value due to inflation. Absent such annual adjustment, each policy shall contain inflation guard coverage insuring that the policy limit will be increased over time to reflect the effect of inflation. Full replacement cost, as used herein, means, with respect to the Improvements, the cost of replacing the Improvements without regard to deduction for depreciation, exclusive of the cost of excavations, foundations and footings below the lowest basement floor. Grantor shall also maintain insurance against loss or damage to furniture, furnishing, fixtures, equipment and other items (whether personalty or fixtures) included in the Property and owned by Grantor from time to time to the extent applicable. Each policy shall contain a replacement cost endorsement and either an agreed amount endorsement (to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions) or a waiver of any co-insurance provisions, all subject to Beneficiary’s approval. The maximum deductible shall be $10,000.00.

 

(b)       Commercial General Liability Insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death and property damage occurring on, in or about the Real Estate or the Improvements in amounts not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence and $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate plus umbrella coverage in an amount not less than $2,000,000. Beneficiary hereby retains the right to periodically review the amount of said liability insurance being maintained by Grantor and to require an increase in the amount of said liability insurance should Beneficiary deem an increase to be reasonably prudent under then existing circumstances.

 

(c)        Boiler and machinery insurance is required if steam boilers or other pressure-fired vessels are in operation at the Property. Minimum liability coverage per accident must equal the greater of the replacement cost (insurable value) of the Improvements housing such boiler or pressure-fired machinery or $2,000,000.00. If one or more large (i.e., greater than twenty (20) tons) HVAC units is in operation at the Property, “Systems Breakdowns” coverage shall be required, as

 

 

- 10 -

 


determined by Beneficiary. Minimum liability coverage per accident must equal the value of such unit(s).

 

(d)        If the Improvements or any part thereof is situated in an area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) as a special flood hazard area (Zone A or Zone V), flood insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of: (a) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement basis (or the unpaid balance of the indebtedness secured hereby if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured); or (b) the maximum insurance available under the appropriate National Flood Insurance Administration program. The maximum deductible shall be $3,000.00 per building or a higher minimum amount as required by FEMA or other applicable law.

 

(e)       During the period of any construction, renovation or alteration of the existing Improvements which exceeds the lesser of 10% of the principal amount of the Note or $500,000, at Beneficiary’s request, a completed value, “All Risk” Builder’s Risk form or “Course of Construction” insurance policy in nonreporting form, in an amount approved by Beneficiary, may be required. During the period of any construction of any addition to the existing Improvements, a completed value, “All Risk” Builder’s Risk form or “Course of Construction” insurance policy in non-reporting form, in an amount approved by Beneficiary, shall be required.

 

(f)        When required by applicable law, ordinance or other regulation, Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance covering all persons subject to the worker’s compensation laws of the state in which the Property is located.

 

(g)       Business income (loss of rents) insurance in amounts sufficient to compensate Grantor for all Rents and Profits or income during a period of not less than eighteen (18) months. The amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the Rents and Profits or income payable during the succeeding eighteen (18) month period.

 

(h)        Such other insurance on the Property or on any replacements or substitutions thereof or additions thereto as may from time to time be required by Beneficiary against other insurable hazards or casualties which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of property similarly situated including, without limitation, Sinkhole, Mine Subsidence, Earthquake and Environmental insurance, due regard being given to the height and type of buildings, their construction, location, use and occupancy.

 

All such insurance shall (i) be with insurers fully licensed and authorized to do business in the state within which the Premises is located and who

 

 

- 11 -

 


have and maintain a rating of at least from AA from Standard & Poor’s, (ii) contain the complete address of the Premises (or a complete legal description), (iii) be for terms of at least one year, with premium prepaid, and (vi) be subject to the approval of Beneficiary as to insurance companies, amounts, content, forms of policies, method by which premiums are paid and expiration dates, and (v) include a standard, non-contributory, mortgagee clause naming EXACTLY:

 

First Union National Bank,

its successors and assigns ATIMA

c/o First Union Mortgage Corporation

P.O. Box 20068

Charlotte, North Carolina 28202

 

(a)       as an additional insured under all liability insurance policies, (b) as the first mortgagee on all property insurance policies and (c) as the loss payee on all loss of rents or loss of business income insurance policies.

 

Grantor shall, as of the date hereof, deliver to Beneficiary evidence that said insurance policies have been prepaid as required above and certified copies of such insurance policies and original certificates of insurance signed by an authorized agent of the applicable insurance companies evidencing such insurance satisfactory to Beneficiary. Grantor shall renew all such insurance and deliver to Beneficiary certificates and policies evidencing such renewals at least thirty (30) days before any such insurance shall expire. Grantor further agrees that each such insurance policy: (i) shall provide for at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Beneficiary prior to any policy reduction or cancellation for any reason other than non-payment of premium and at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Beneficiary prior to any cancellation due to non-payment of premium; (ii) shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer that any loss shall be payable to Beneficiary in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Grantor which might otherwise result in forfeiture of such insurance; (iii) shall waive all rights of subrogation against Beneficiary; (iv) in the event that the Real Estate or the Improvements constitutes a legal non-conforming use under applicable building, zoning or land use laws or ordinances, shall include an ordinance or law coverage endorsement which will contain Coverage A: “Loss Due to Operation of Law” (with a minimum liability limit equal to Replacement Cost With Agreed Value Endorsement), Coverage B: “Demolition Cost” and Coverage C: “Increased Cost of Construction” coverages; and (v) may be in the form of a blanket policy provided that, in the event that any such coverage is provided in the form of a blanket policy, Grantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that failure to pay any portion of the premium therefor which is not allocable to the Property or by any other action not relating to the Property which would otherwise permit the issuer thereof to cancel the coverage thereof, would require the Property to be insured by a separate, single-property policy. The blanket policy must properly identify and fully protect the Property as if a separate policy were issued for 100% of Replacement Cost at the time

of loss and otherwise meet all of Beneficiary’s applicable insurance requirements set forth in this Section 1.4. The delivery to Beneficiary of the insurance policies or the certificates of insurance as provided above shall constitute an assignment of all proceeds payable under such insurance policies relating to the Property by Grantor to Beneficiary as further security for the indebtedness secured hereby. In the event of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the indebtedness secured hereby, all right, title and interest of Grantor in and to all proceeds payable under such policies then in force concerning the Property shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, or in Beneficiary or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title. Approval of any insurance by Beneficiary shall not be a representation of the solvency of any insurer or the sufficiency of any amount of insurance. In the event Grantor fails to provide, maintain, keep in force or deliver and furnish to Beneficiary the policies of insurance required by this Deed of Trust or evidence of their renewal as required herein, Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and Grantor shall pay all amounts advanced by Beneficiary therefor, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and after the date advanced by Beneficiary until actually repaid by Grantor, promptly upon demand by Beneficiary. Any amounts so advanced by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness secured hereby. Beneficiary shall not be responsible for nor incur any liability for the insolvency of the insurer or other failure of the insurer to perform, even though Beneficiary has caused the insurance to be placed with the insurer after failure of Grantor to furnish such insurance. Grantor shall not obtain insurance for the Property in addition to that required by Beneficiary without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld provided that (i) Beneficiary is a named insured on such insurance, (ii) Beneficiary receives complete copies of all policies evidencing such insurance, and (iii) such insurance complies with all of the applicable requirements set forth herein.

 

1.5      Payment of Taxes. Grantor shall pay or cause to be paid, except to the extent provision is actually made therefor pursuant to Section 1.6 of this Deed of Trust, all taxes and assessments which are or may become a lien on the Property or which are assessed against or imposed upon the Property. Grantor shall furnish Beneficiary with receipts (or if receipts are not immediately available, with copies of canceled checks evidencing payment with receipts to follow promptly after they become available) showing payment of such taxes and assessments at least fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable delinquency date therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor may in good faith, by appropriate proceedings and upon notice to Beneficiary, contest the validity, applicability or amount of any asserted tax or assessment so long as (a) such contest is diligently pursued, (b) Beneficiary determines, in its subjective opinion, that such contest suspends the obligation to pay the tax and that nonpayment of such tax or assessment will not result in the sale, loss, forfeiture or diminution of the Property or any part thereof or any interest of Beneficiary therein, and (c) prior to the earlier of the commencement of such contest

 

 

- 13 -

 


or the delinquency date of the asserted tax or assessment, Grantor deposits in the Impound Account (as hereinafter defined) an amount determined by Beneficiary to be adequate to cover the payment of such tax or assessment and a reasonable additional sum to cover possible interest, costs and penalties; provided, however, that Grantor shall promptly cause to be paid any amount adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due, with all interest, costs and penalties thereon, promptly after such judgment becomes final; and provided further that in any event each such contest shall be concluded and the taxes, assessments, interest, costs and penalties shall be paid prior to the date any writ or order is issued under which the Property may be sold, lost or forfeited.

 

1.6      Tax and Insurance Impound Account. Grantor shall establish and maintain at all times while this Deed of Trust continues in effect an impound account (the “Impound Account”) with Beneficiary for payment of real estate taxes and assessments and insurance on the Property and as additional security for the indebtedness secured hereby. Simultaneously with the execution hereof, Grantor shall deposit in the Impound Account an amount determined by Beneficiary to be necessary to ensure that there will be on deposit with Beneficiary an amount which, when added to the monthly payments subsequently required to be deposited with Beneficiary hereunder on account of real estate taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, will result in there being on deposit with Beneficiary in the Impound Account an amount sufficient to pay the next due installment of real estate taxes and assessment on the Property at least one (1) month prior to the due date thereof and the next due annual insurance premiums with respect to the Property at least one (1) month prior to the due date thereof (if paid in one installment). Commencing on the first monthly payment date under the Note and continuing thereafter on each monthly payment date under the Note, Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary, concurrently with and in addition to the monthly payment due under the Note and until the Note and all other indebtedness secured hereby is fully paid and performed, deposits in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual real estate taxes and assessments that will next become due and payable on the Property, plus one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual premiums that will next become due and payable on insurance policies which Grantor is required to maintain hereunder, each as estimated and determined by Beneficiary. So long as no Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), or event which with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default (a “Default”) hereunder or under the other Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing, all sums in the Impound Account shall be held by Beneficiary in the Impound Account to pay said taxes, assessments and insurance premiums before the same become delinquent. Grantor shall be responsible for ensuring the receipt by Beneficiary, at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due date for payment thereof, of all bills, invoices and statements for all taxes, assessments and insurance premiums to be paid from the Impound Account, and so long as no Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing, Beneficiary shall pay the governmental authority or other party entitled thereto directly to the extent funds are available for

 

 

- 14 -

 


such purpose in the Impound Account. In making any payment from the Impound Account, Beneficiary shall be entitled to rely on any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurance company or agent without any inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate and without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability of any tax, assessment, valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. The Impound Account shall not, unless otherwise explicitly required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds, but, at Beneficiary’s option and in Beneficiary’s discretion, may either be held in a separate account or be commingled by Beneficiary with the general funds of Beneficiary. No interest on the funds contained in the Impound Account shall be paid by Beneficiary to Grantor. The Impound Account is solely for the protection of Beneficiary and entails no responsibility on Beneficiary’s part beyond the payment of taxes, assessments and insurance premiums following receipt of bills, invoices or statements therefor in accordance with the terms hereof and beyond the allowing of due credit for the sums actually received. Upon assignment of this Deed of Trust by Beneficiary, any funds in the Impound Account shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Beneficiary, as assignor, with respect thereto shall terminate. If the total funds in the Impound Account shall exceed the amount of payments actually applied by Beneficiary for the purposes of the Impound Account, such excess may be credited by Beneficiary on subsequent payments to be made hereunder or, at the option of Beneficiary, refunded to Grantor. If, however, the Impound Account shall not contain sufficient funds to pay the sums required when the same shall become due and payable, Grantor shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice thereof, deposit with Beneficiary the full amount of any such deficiency. If Grantor shall fail to deposit with Beneficiary the full amount of such deficiency as provided above, Beneficiary shall have the option, but not the obligation, to make such deposit, and all amounts so deposited by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Beneficiary until actually paid by Grantor, shall be immediately paid by Grantor on demand and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note. If there is an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, apply at any time the balance then remaining in the Impound Account against the indebtedness secured hereby in whatever order Beneficiary shall subjectively determine. No such application of the Impound Account shall be deemed to cure any Default or Event of Default hereunder. Upon full payment of the indebtedness secured hereby in accordance with its terms or at such earlier time as Beneficiary may elect, the balance of the Impound Account then in Beneficiary’s possession shall be paid over to Grantor and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.

 

 

1.7

Payment Reserve.

 

(a)       Contemporaneously with the execution hereof, Grantor has established with Beneficiary a reserve in the amount equal to one (1) regular monthly

 

 

- 15 -

 


installments of principal, interest and all required deposits or impounds as calculated by Beneficiary (the “Payment Reserve”). Grantor understands and agrees that, notwithstanding the establishment of the Payment Reserve as herein required, all of the proceeds of the Note have been, and shall be considered, fully disbursed and shall bear interest and be payable on the terms provided therein. No interest on funds contained in the Payment Reserve shall be paid by Beneficiary to Grantor.

 

(b)        For so long as no Event of Default has occurred hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, Beneficiary shall on the first one (1) monthly Payment Dates (as defined in the Note) under the Note, advance from the Payment Reserve to itself the amount of the monthly installment due and payable by Grantor under the Note on such monthly Payment Date and shall also advance from the Payment Reserve into the Impound Account the amount of any deposit for taxes and insurance premiums and into the Replacement Reserve (as hereinafter defined) the amount of any deposit for Repairs (as hereinafter defined) and into any other reserve account the amount of any deposit in accordance with the terms of any other Loan Document required to be paid by Grantor concurrently with each such monthly installment pursuant to the terms hereof. Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred after the final disbursement from the Payment Reserve, any amounts then remaining in the Payment Reserve shall be paid to Grantor. Nothing contained herein, including, without limitation, the existence of the Payment Reserve, shall release Grantor of any obligation to make payments under the Note, this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents strictly in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof and, in this regard, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, should the amounts contained in the Payment Reserve not be sufficient to pay in full the monthly installments and the Impound Account, Replacement Reserve and any other applicable reserve account deposits referenced above in this subparagraph, Grantor shall be responsible for paying such deficiency on the Payment Date of any such monthly installment.

 

 

1.8

Replacement Reserve: Security Interest Reserves.

 

(a)       As additional security for the indebtedness secured hereby, Grantor shall establish and maintain at all times while this Deed of Trust continues in effect a repair reserve (the “Replacement Reserve”) with Beneficiary for payment of certain non-recurring types of costs and expenses incurred by Grantor for interior and exterior work to the Property, including without limitation, performance of work to the roofs, chimneys, gutters, downspouts, paving, curbs, ramps, driveways, balconies, porches, patios, exterior walls, exterior doors and doorways, windows, elevators and mechanical and HVAC equipment, (collectively, the “Repairs”) provided such costs and expenses are incurred for repairs (i) not incurred for ordinary wear and tear at the Property and (ii) categorized under generally accepted accounting principles as a capital expense and not as an operating expense. Commencing on the first monthly Payment Date under the Note and continuing thereafter on each monthly Payment Date under the Note, Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary, concurrently with and in

 

 

- 16 -

 


addition to the monthly payment due under the Note and until the Note and all other indebtedness secured hereby is fully paid and performed, a deposit to the Replacement Reserve in an amount equal to $5,250.00 per month. So long as no Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing, all sums in the Replacement Reserve shall be held by Beneficiary in the Replacement Reserve to pay the costs and expenses of Repairs. So long as no Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing, Beneficiary shall, to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Replacement Reserve, disburse to Grantor the amount incurred and paid by Grantor in performing such Repairs within ten (10) days following: (a) the receipt by Beneficiary of a written request from Grantor for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve and a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B that the applicable item of Repair has been completed; (b) the delivery to Beneficiary of paid invoices, receipts or other evidence satisfactory to Beneficiary, verifying the cost and payment of performing the Repairs; (c) for disbursement requests in excess of $10,000.00, the delivery to Beneficiary of affidavits, lien waivers or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary showing that all materialmen, laborers, subcontractors and any other parties who might or could claim statutory or common law liens and are furnishing or have furnished material or labor to the Property have been paid all amounts due for labor and materials furnished to the Property; (d) for disbursement requests in excess of $10,000.00, delivery to Beneficiary of a certification from an inspecting architect or other third party acceptable to Beneficiary describing the completed Repairs and verifying the completion of the Repairs; (e) for disbursement requests in excess of $10,000.00, delivery to Beneficiary of a new certificate of occupancy for the portion of the Improvements covered by such Repairs, if said new certificate of occupancy is required by law, or a certification by Grantor that no new certificate of occupancy is required; and (f) the receipt by Beneficiary of an administrative fee in the amount of $150.00. Beneficiary shall not be required to make advances from the Replacement Reserve more frequently than once in any ninety (90) day period. In making any payment from the Replacement Reserve, Beneficiary shall be entitled to rely on such request from Grantor without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity or contestability of any such amount. Beneficiary may, at Grantor’s expense, make or cause to be made during the term of this Deed of Trust an annual inspection of the Property to determine the need, as determined by Beneficiary in its reasonable judgment, for further Repairs of the Property. In the event that such inspection reveals that further Repairs of the Property are required, Beneficiary shall provide Grantor with a written description of the required Repairs and Grantor shall complete such Repairs to the reasonable satisfaction of Beneficiary within ninety (90) days after the receipt of such description from Beneficiary, or such later date as may be approved by Beneficiary in its sole discretion. The Replacement Reserve shall not, unless otherwise explicitly required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds, but, at Beneficiary’s option and in Beneficiary’s discretion, may either be held in a separate account or be commingled by Beneficiary with the general funds of Beneficiary. Interest on the funds contained in the Replacement Reserve shall be credited to Grantor as provided in Section 5.31 hereof. The Replacement Reserve is

 

 

- 17 -

 


solely for the protection of Beneficiary and entails no responsibility on Beneficiary’s part beyond the payment of the costs and expenses described in this Section in accordance with the terms hereof and beyond the allowing of due credit for the sums actually received. In the event that the amounts on deposit or available in the Replacement Reserve are inadequate to pay the cost of the Repairs, Grantor shall pay the amount of such deficiency. Upon assignment of this Deed of Trust by Beneficiary, any funds in the Replacement Reserve shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Beneficiary, as assignor, with respect thereto shall terminate. If there is an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, apply at any time the balance then remaining in the Replacement Reserve against the indebtedness secured hereby in whatever order Beneficiary shall subjectively determine. No such application of the Replacement Reserve shall be deemed to cure any Default or Event of Default hereunder. Upon full payment of the indebtedness secured hereby in accordance with its terms or at such earlier time as Beneficiary may elect, the balance of the Replacement Reserve then in Beneficiary’s possession shall be paid over to Grantor and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.

 

(b)       As additional security for the payment and performance by Grantor of all duties, responsibilities and obligations under the Note and the other Loan Documents, Grantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably assigns, conveys, pledges, mortgages, transfers, delivers, deposits, sets over and confirms unto Beneficiary, and hereby grants to Beneficiary a security interest in, (i) the Impound Account, the Payment Reserve, the Repair and Remediation Reserve, the Replacement Reserve and any other reserve or escrow account established pursuant to the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document (collectively, the “Reserves”), (ii) the accounts into which the Reserves have been deposited, (iii) all insurance on said accounts, (iv) all accounts, contract rights and general intangibles or other rights and interests pertaining thereto, (v) all sums now or hereafter therein or represented thereby, (vi) all replacements, substitutions or proceeds thereof, (vii) all instruments and documents now or hereafter evidencing the Reserves or such accounts, (viii) all powers, options, rights, privileges and immunities pertaining to the Reserves (including the right to make withdrawals therefrom), and (ix) all proceeds of the foregoing. Grantor hereby authorizes and consents to the account into which the Reserves have been deposited being held in Beneficiary’s name or the name of any entity servicing the Note for Beneficiary and hereby acknowledges and agrees that Beneficiary, or at Beneficiary’s election, such servicing agent, shall have exclusive control over said account. Notice of the assignment and security interest granted to Beneficiary herein may be delivered by Beneficiary at any time to the financial institution wherein the Reserves have been established, and Beneficiary, or such servicing entity, shall have possession of all passbooks or other evidences of such accounts. Grantor hereby assumes all risk of loss with respect to amounts on deposit in the Reserves. Grantor hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally stipulates, acknowledges and agrees that the advancement of the funds from the Reserves as set forth herein is at Grantor’s direction and is not the exercise by Beneficiary of any

 

 

- 18 -

 


right of set-off or other remedy upon a Default or an Event of Default. Grantor hereby waives all right to withdraw funds from the Reserves. If an Event of Default shall occur hereunder or under any other of the Loan Documents which is not cured within any applicable grace or cure period, then Beneficiary may, without notice or demand on Grantor, at its option: (A) withdraw any or all of the funds (including, without limitation, interest) then remaining in the Reserves and apply the same, after deducting all costs and expenses of safekeeping, collection and delivery (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any other obligations of Grantor under the other Loan Documents in such manner or as Beneficiary shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion, and the excess, if any, shall be paid to Grantor, (B) exercise any and all rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable Uniform Commercial Code, and/or (C) exercise any other remedies available at law or in equity. No such use or application of the funds contained in the Reserves shall be deemed to cure any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

 

1.9      Casualty and Condemnation. Grantor shall give Beneficiary prompt written notice of the occurrence of any casualty affecting, or the institution of any proceedings for eminent domain or for the condemnation of, the Property or any portion thereof. All insurance proceeds on the Property, and all causes of action, claims, compensation, awards and recoveries for any damage, condemnation or taking of all or any part of the Property or for any damage or injury to it for any loss or diminution in value of the Property, are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Beneficiary. Beneficiary may participate in any suits or proceedings relating to any such proceeds, causes of action, claims, compensation, awards or recoveries, and Beneficiary is hereby authorized, in its own name or in Grantor’s name, to adjust any loss covered by insurance or any condemnation claim or cause of action, and to settle or compromise any claim or cause of action in connection therewith, and Grantor shall from time to time deliver to Beneficiary any instruments required to permit such participation; provided, however, that so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing Beneficiary shall not have the right to participate in the adjustment of any loss which is not in excess of the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note, and (ii) $250,000.00. Beneficiary shall apply any sums received by it under this Section first to the payment of all of its costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, legal fees and disbursements) incurred in obtaining those sums, and then, as follows:

 

(a)       In the event that less than forty percent (40%) of the Improvements located on the Land have been taken or destroyed, then if:

 

(1)        no Default or Event of Default is then continuing hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, and

 

(2)        the Property can, in Beneficiary’s judgment, with diligent restoration or repair, be returned to a condition at least equal to the

 

 

- 19 -

 


condition thereof that existed prior to the casualty or partial taking causing the loss or damage within the earlier to occur of (i) six (6) months after the receipt of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards by either Grantor or Beneficiary, and (ii) six (6) months prior to the stated maturity date of the Note, and

 

(3)        all necessary governmental approvals can be obtained to allow the rebuilding and reoccupancy of the Property as described in Section 1.9(a)(2) above, and

 

(4) there are sufficient sums available (through insurance proceeds or condemnation awards and contributions by Grantor, the full amount of which shall at Beneficiary’s option have been deposited with Beneficiary) for such restoration or repair (including, without limitation, for any costs and expenses of Beneficiary to be incurred in administering said restoration or repair) and for payment of principal and interest to become due and payable under the Note during such restoration or repair, and

 

(5)        the economic feasibility of the Improvements after such restoration or repair will be such that income from their operation is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to pay operating expenses of the Property and debt service on the indebtedness secured hereby in full with the same coverage ratio considered by Beneficiary in its determination to make the loan secured hereby including an assessment of the impact of the termination of any Leases due to such casualty or condemnation, and

 

(6)       in the event that the insurance proceeds or condemnation awards received as a result of such casualty or partial taking exceed the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note and (ii) $150,000, Grantor shall have delivered to Beneficiary, at Grantor’s sole cost and expense, an appraisal reporting form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary appraising the value of the Property as proposed to be restored or repaired to be not less than the appraised value of the Property considered by Beneficiary in its determination to make the loan secured hereby, and

 

(7)       Grantor so elects by written notice delivered to Beneficiary within five (5) days after settlement of the aforesaid insurance or condemnation claim then, Beneficiary shall, solely for the purposes of such restoration or repair, advance so much of the remainder of such sums as may be required for such restoration or repair, and any funds deposited by Grantor therefor, to Grantor in the manner and upon such terms and conditions as would be required by a prudent interim construction lender, including, but not limited to, the prior approval by Beneficiary of plans and specifications, contractors and form of construction contracts and the furnishing to Beneficiary of permits, bonds, lien waivers, invoices, receipts and affidavits

 

 

- 20 -

 


from contractors and subcontractors, in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary in its discretion, with any remainder being applied by Beneficiary for payment of the indebtedness secured hereby in whatever order Beneficiary directs in its absolute discretion.

 

(b)        In all other cases, namely, in the event that forty percent (40%) or more of the Improvements located on the Land have been taken or destroyed or Grantor does not elect to restore or repair the Property pursuant to clause (a) above, or otherwise fails to meet the requirements of clause (a) above, then, in any of such events, Beneficiary shall elect, in Beneficiary’s absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of Beneficiary’s security, to do either of the following: (1) accelerate the maturity date of the Note and declare any and all indebtedness secured hereby to be immediately due and payable and apply the remainder of such sums received pursuant to this Section to the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby in whatever order Beneficiary directs in its absolute discretion, with any remainder being paid to Grantor, or (2) notwithstanding that Grantor may have elected not to restore or repair the Property pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.9(a)(7) above, require Grantor to restore or repair the Property in the manner and upon such terms and conditions as would be required by a prudent interim construction lender, including, but not limited to, the deposit by Grantor with Beneficiary, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, of any deficiency necessary in order to assure the availability of sufficient funds to pay for such restoration or repair, including Beneficiary’s costs and expenses to be incurred in connection therewith, the prior approval by Beneficiary of plans and specifications, contractors and form of construction contracts and the furnishing to Beneficiary of permits, bonds, lien waivers, invoices, receipts and affidavits from contractors and subcontractors, in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary in its discretion, and apply the remainder of such sums toward such restoration and repair, with any balance thereafter remaining being applied by Beneficiary for payment of the indebtedness secured hereby in whatever order Beneficiary directs in its absolute discretion.

 

Any reduction in the indebtedness secured hereby resulting from Beneficiary’s application of any sums received by it hereunder shall take effect only when Beneficiary actually receives such sums and elects to apply such sums to the indebtedness secured hereby and, in any event, yet unpaid portion of the indebtedness secured hereby shall remain in full force and effect and Grantor shall not be excused in the payment thereof. Partial payments received by Beneficiary, as described in the preceding sentence, shall be applied first to the final payment due under the Note and thereafter to installments due under the Note in the inverse order of their due date. If Grantor elects or Beneficiary directs Grantor to restore or repair the Property after the occurrence of a casualty or partial taking of the Property as provided above, Grantor shall promptly and diligently, at Grantor’s sole cost and expense and regardless of whether the insurance proceeds or condemnation award, as appropriate, shall be sufficient for the purpose, restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Property as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such casualty or

 

 

- 21 -

 


partial taking in accordance with the foregoing provisions and Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary all costs and expenses of Beneficiary incurred in administering said rebuilding, restoration or repair, provided that Beneficiary makes such proceeds or award available for such purpose. Grantor agrees to execute and deliver from time to time such further instruments as may be requested by Beneficiary to confirm the foregoing assignment to Beneficiary of any award, damage, insurance proceeds, payment or other compensation. Beneficiary is hereby irrevocably constituted and appointed the attorney-in-fact of Grantor (which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any indebtedness secured hereby is outstanding, shall be deemed coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Grantor and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Grantor subsequent to the date hereof), with full power of substitution, subject to the terms of this Section, to settle for, collect and receive any such awards, damages, insurance proceeds, payments or other compensation from the parties or authorities making the same, to appear in and prosecute any proceedings therefor and to give receipts and acquittances therefor.

 

1.10     Construction Liens. Grantor shall pay when due all claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others for any work performed or materials delivered for the Land or the Improvements; provided, however, that, Grantor shall have the right to contest in good faith any such claim or demand, so long as it does so diligently, by appropriate proceedings and without prejudice to Beneficiary and provided that neither the Property nor any interest therein would be in any danger of sale, loss or forfeiture as a result of such proceeding or contest. In the event Grantor shall contest any such claim or demand, Grantor shall promptly notify Beneficiary of such contest and thereafter shall, upon Beneficiary’s request, promptly provide a bond, cash deposit or other security satisfactory to Beneficiary to protect Beneficiary’s interest and security should the contest be unsuccessful. If Grantor shall fail to immediately discharge or provide security against any such claim or demand as aforesaid, Beneficiary may do so and any and all expenses incurred by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Beneficiary until actually paid by Grantor, shall be immediately paid by Grantor on demand and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.

 

1.11    Rents and Profits. As additional and collateral security for the payment of the Indebtedness secured hereby and cumulative of any and all rights and remedies herein provided for, Grantor hereby absolutely and presently assigns to Beneficiary all existing and future Rents and Profits. Grantor hereby grants to Beneficiary the sole, exclusive and immediate right, without taking possession of the Property, to demand, collect (by suit or otherwise), receive and give valid and sufficient receipts for any and all of said Rents and Profits, for which purpose Grantor does hereby irrevocably make, constitute and appoint Beneficiary its attorney-in-fact with full power to appoint substitutes or a trustee to accomplish such purpose (which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any indebtedness secured hereby is

 

 

- 22 -

 


outstanding, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Grantor and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Grantor subsequent to the date hereof). Beneficiary shall be without liability for any loss which may arise from a failure or inability to collect Rents and Profits, proceeds or other payments. However, until the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust, Grantor shall have a license to collect and receive the Rents and Profits when due and prepayments thereof for not more than one (1) month prior to due date thereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Grantor’s license shall automatically terminate without notice to Grantor and Beneficiary may thereafter, without taking possession of the Property, collect the Rents and Profits itself or by an agent or receiver. From and after the termination of such license, Grantor shall be the agent of Beneficiary in collection of the Rents and Profits, and all of the Rents and Profits so collected by Grantor shall be held in trust by Grantor for the sole and exclusive benefit of Beneficiary, and Grantor shall, within one (1) business day after receipt of any Rents and Profits, pay the same to Beneficiary to be applied by Beneficiary as hereinafter set forth. Neither the demand for or collection of Rents and Profits by Beneficiary shall constitute any assumption by Beneficiary of any obligations under any agreement relating thereto. Beneficiary is obligated to account only for such Rents and Profits as are actually collected or received by Beneficiary. Grantor irrevocably agrees and consents that the respective payors of the Rents and Profits shall, upon demand and notice from Beneficiary of an Event of Default hereunder, pay said Rents and Profits to Beneficiary without liability to determine the actual existence of any Event of Default claimed by Beneficiary. Grantor hereby waives any right, claim or demand which Grantor may now or hereafter have against any such payor by reason of such payment of Rents and Profits to Beneficiary, and any such payment shall discharge such payor’s obligation to make such payment to Grantor. All Rents and Profits collected or received by Beneficiary may be applied against all expenses of collection, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, against costs of operation and management of the Property and against the indebtedness secured hereby, in whatever order or priority as to any of the items so mentioned as Beneficiary directs in its sole subjective discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security. Neither the exercise by Beneficiary of any rights under this Section nor the application of any Rents and Profits to the secured indebtedness shall cure or be deemed a waiver of any Event of Default hereunder. The assignment of Rents and Profits hereinabove granted shall continue in full force and effect during any period of foreclosure or redemption with respect to the Property. Grantor has executed an Assignment of Leases and Rents dated of even date herewith (the Assignment”) in favor of Beneficiary covering all of the right, title and interest of Grantor, as landlord, lessor or licensor, in and to any Leases. All rights and remedies granted to Beneficiary under the Assignment shall be in addition to and cumulative of all rights and remedies granted to Beneficiary hereunder.

1.12

Leases and Licenses.

 

(a)       Prior to execution of any Leases of space in the Improvements after the date hereof, Grantor shall submit to Beneficiary, for Beneficiary’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, a copy of the form Lease Grantor plans to use in leasing space in the Improvements. All Leases of space in the Improvements shall be on terms consistent with the terms for similar leases in the market area of the Land, shall provide for free rent only if the same is consistent with prevailing market conditions and shall provide for market rents then prevailing in the market area of the Land. Such Leases shall also provide for security deposits in reasonable amounts. Grantor shall also submit to Beneficiary for Beneficiary’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, prior to the execution thereof, any proposed Lease of the Improvements or any portion thereof that differs materially and adversely from the aforementioned form Lease. Grantor shall not execute any Lease for all or a substantial portion of the Property, except for an actual occupancy by the Tenant thereunder, and shall at all times promptly and faithfully perform, or cause to be performed, all of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in all Leases with respect to the Property, now or hereafter existing, on the part of the landlord, lessor or licensor thereunder to be kept and performed. Grantor shall furnish to Beneficiary, within ten (10) days after a request by Beneficiary to do so, but in any event by January 1 of each year, a current Rent Roll certified by Grantor as being true and correct, containing the names of all Tenants with respect to the Property, the terms of their respective Leases, the spaces occupied and the rentals or fees payable thereunder and the amount of each tenant’s security deposit. Upon the request of Beneficiary, Grantor shall deliver to Beneficiary a copy of each such Lease. Grantor shall not do or suffer to be done any act that might result in a default by the landlord, lessor or licensor under any such Lease or allow the Tenant, lessee or licensee thereunder to withhold payment or rent and, except as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of Section 1.12 hereof, shall not further assign any such Lease or any such rents. Grantor, at no cost or expense to Beneficiary, shall enforce, short of termination, the performance and observance of each and every condition and covenant of each of the parties under such Leases. Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, modify any of the Leases, terminate or accept the surrender of any Leases, waive or release any other party from the performance or observance of any obligation or condition under such Leases except in the normal course of business in a manner which is consistent with sound and customary leasing and management practices for similar properties in the community in which the Property is located. Grantor shall not permit the prepayment of any rents under any of the Leases for more than one (1) month prior to the due date thereof (except with respect to newly executed Leases, Rents and Profits for the first and last months (i.e., two (2) months) may be collected in advance).

the Tenant will recognize as its landlord, lessor or licensor, as applicable, and attom to any person succeeding to the interest of Grantor upon any foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Each such Lease shall also provide that, upon request of said successor in interest, the Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming its attornment as provided for in this Section; provided. however, that neither Beneficiary nor any successor-in-interest shall be bound by any payment of rental for more than one (1) month in advance, or any amendment or modification of said Lease made without the express written consent of Beneficiary or said successor-in-interest.

 

(c)        Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust, whether before or after the whole principal sum secured hereby is declared to be immediately due or whether before or after the institution of legal proceedings to foreclose this Deed of Trust, forthwith, upon demand of Beneficiary, Grantor shall surrender to Beneficiary, and Beneficiary shall be entitled to take actual possession of, the Property or any part thereof personally, or by its agent or attorneys. In such event, Beneficiary shall have, and Grantor hereby gives and grants to Beneficiary, the right, power and authority to make and enter into Leases with respect to the Property or portions thereof for such rents and for such periods of occupancy and upon conditions and provisions as Beneficiary may deem desirable in its sole discretion, and Grantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that the term of any such Lease may extend beyond the date of any foreclosure sale of the Property; it being the intention of Grantor that in such event Beneficiary shall be deemed to be and shall be the attorney-in-fact of Grantor for the purpose of making and entering into Leases of parts or portions of the Property for the rents and upon the terms, conditions and provisions deemed desirable to Beneficiary in its sole discretion and with like effect as if such Leases had been made by Grantor as the owner in fee simple of the Property free and clear of any conditions or limitations established by this Deed of Trust. The power and authority hereby given and granted by Grantor to Beneficiary shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall not be revocable by Grantor so long as any indebtedness secured hereby is outstanding, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Grantor and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Grantor subsequent to the date hereof. In connection with any action taken by Beneficiary pursuant to this Section, Beneficiary shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Grantor resulting from any failure to let the Property, or any part thereof, or from any other act or omission of Beneficiary in managing the Property, nor shall Beneficiary be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under any Lease covering the Property or any part thereof or under or by reason of this instrument or the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder. Grantor shall, and does hereby, indemnify Beneficiary for, and hold Beneficiary harmless from, any and all claims, actions, demands, liabilities, loss or damage which may or might be incurred by Beneficiary under any such Lease or under this Deed of Trust or by the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Beneficiary by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the

 

 

- 25 -

 


terms, covenants or agreements contained in any such Lease other than those finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Beneficiary. Should Beneficiary incur any such liability, the amount thereof, including, without limitation, costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Beneficiary until actually paid by Grantor, shall be immediately due and payable to Beneficiary by Grantor on demand and shall be secured hereby and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note. Nothing in this Section shall impose on Beneficiary any duty, obligation or responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of the Property, or for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of any such Lease nor shall it operate to make Beneficiary responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the Tenants or by any other parties or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property. Grantor hereby assents to, ratifies and confirms any and all actions of Beneficiary with respect to the Property taken under this Section.

Alienation and Further Encumbrances.

 

(a)        Grantor acknowledges that Beneficiary has relied upon the principals of Grantor and their experience in owning and operating the Property and properties similar to the Property in connection with the closing of the loan evidenced by the Note. Accordingly, except as specifically allowed hereinbelow in this Section and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.6 hereof, in the event that the Property or any part thereof or interest therein shall be sold, conveyed, disposed of, alienated, hypothecated, leased (except to Tenants of space in the Improvements in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.12 hereof), assigned, pledged, mortgaged, further encumbered or otherwise transferred or Grantor shall be divested of its title to the Property or any interest therein, in any manner or way, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary being first obtained, which consent may be withheld in Beneficiary’s sole discretion, then the same shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder and Beneficiary shall have the right, at its option, to declare any or all of the indebtedness secured hereby, irrespective of the maturity date specified in the Note, immediately due and payable and to otherwise exercise any of its other rights and remedies contained in Article III hereof. If such acceleration is during any period when a prepayment fee is payable pursuant to the provisions set forth in the Note, then, in addition to all of the foregoing, such prepayment fee shall also then be immediately due and payable to the same end as though Grantor were prepaying the entire indebtedness secured hereby on the date of such acceleration. For the purposes of this Section: (i) in the event either Grantor or any of its general partners or managing members is a corporation or trust, the sale, conveyance, transfer or disposition of more than 10% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Grantor or any of its general partners or of the beneficial interest of such trust (or the issuance of new shares of capital stock in Grantor or any of its general partners or managing members so that immediately after such issuance

 


 

- 26 -

the total capital stock then issued and outstanding is more than 110% of the total immediately prior to such issuance) shall be deemed to be a transfer of an interest in the Property; and (ii) in the event Grantor or any general partner or managing member of Grantor is a limited or general partnership, a joint venture or a limited liability company, a change in the ownership interests in any general partner, any joint venturer or any managing member, either voluntarily, involuntarily or otherwise, or the sale, conveyance, transfer, disposition, alienation, hypothecation or encumbering of all or any portion of the interest of any such general partner, joint venturer or managing member in Grantor or such general partner (whether in the form of a beneficial or partnership interest or in the form of a power of direction, control or management, or otherwise), shall be deemed to be a transfer of an interest in the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, (i) limited partnership or non-managing member interests in Grantor or in any general partner or managing member of Grantor shall be freely transferable without the consent of Beneficiary, (ii) any involuntary transfer caused by the death of Grantor or any general partner, shareholder, joint venturer, or beneficial owner of a trust shall not be an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust so long as Grantor is reconstituted, if required, following such death and so long as those persons responsible for the management of the Property remain unchanged as a result of such death or any replacement management is approved by Beneficiary and (iii) gifts for estate planning purposes of any individual’s interests in Grantor or in any of Grantor’s general partners, managing members or joint venturers to the spouse or any lineal descendant of such individual, or to a trust for the benefit of any one or more of such individual, spouse or lineal descendant, shall not be an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust so long as Grantor is reconstituted, if required, following such gift and so long as those persons responsible for the management of the Property and Grantor remain unchanged following such gift or any replacement management is approved by Beneficiary. Notwithstanding any provision of this Deed of Trust to the contrary, no person or entity may, after the date hereof, become an owner of a direct or indirect interest in Grantor, which interest exceeds forty-nine percent (49%), without Beneficiary’s written consent in each instance and receipt by Beneficiary of confirmation that there will be no Adverse Rating Impact (as hereafter defined).

 

(b)       Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, Beneficiary shall consent to one or more sales, conveyances or transfers of the Property in its entirety (hereinafter, “Sale”) to any person or entity provided that each of the following terms and conditions are satisfied for each such Sale:

 

(1)        No Default or Event of Default is then continuing hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents;

1.35     Repair and Remediation Reserve. Prior to the execution of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary has caused the Property to be inspected and such inspection has revealed that the Property is in need of certain maintenance, repairs and/or remedial or corrective work. Contemporaneously with the execution hereof, Grantor has established with the Beneficiary a reserve in the amount of $2,187.50 (the “Repair and Remediation Reserve”) by depositing such amount with Beneficiary. Grantor shall cause each of the items described in Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof and as more particularly described in that certain Engineering Report entitled Property Condition Report, dated May 7, 2001 and prepared Dominian Environmental Group, Inc. (the “Deferred Maintenance”) to be completed, performed, remediated and corrected to the satisfaction of Beneficiary and as necessary to bring the Property into compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations on or before the expiration of 90 days after the effective date hereof, as such time period may be extended by Beneficiary in its sole discretion. So long as no Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing, all sums in the Repair and Remediation Reserve shall be held by Beneficiary in the Repair and Remediation Reserve to pay the costs and expenses of completing the Deferred Maintenance. So long as no Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing, Beneficiary shall, to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Repair and Remediation Reserve, disburse to Grantor the amount paid or incurred by Grantor in completing, performing, remediating or correcting the Deferred Maintenance upon (a) the receipt by Beneficiary of a written request from Grantor for disbursement from the Repair and Remediation Reserve and a certification by Grantor in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B that the applicable item of Deferred Maintenance has been paid for and completed in accordance with the terms of this Deed of Trust, (b) delivery to Beneficiary of paid invoices, receipts or other evidence satisfactory to Beneficiary verifying the costs of the Deferred Maintenance to be reimbursed, (c) delivery to Beneficiary of a certification from

an inspecting architect, engineer or other consultant reasonably acceptable to Beneficiary describing the completed work, verifying the completion of the work and the value of the completed work and, if applicable, certifying that the Property is, as a result of such work, in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances rules and regulations relating to the Deferred Maintenance so performed, (d) delivery to Beneficiary of affidavits, lien waivers or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary showing that all materialmen, laborers, subcontractors and any other parties who might or could claim statutory or common law liens and are furnishing or have furnished materials or labor to the Property have been paid all amounts due for such labor and materials furnished to the Property, and (e) the receipt by Beneficiary of an administrative fee in the amount of $150.00. Beneficiary shall not be required to make advances from the Repair and Remediation Reserve more frequently than once in any ninety (90) day period. In making any payment from the Repair and Remediation Reserve, Beneficiary shall be entitled to rely on such request from Grantor without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity or contestability of any such amount. Grantor hereby grants to Beneficiary, as additional security for payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, a security interest in the Repair and Remediation Reserve. In no event may Grantor be entitled to reimbursement of any costs with respect to each item of Deferred Maintenance in excess of the applicable amount set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto and made part hereof. The Repair and Remediation Reserve shall not, unless otherwise explicitly required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds, but at Beneficiary’s option and in Beneficiary’s discretion, may either be held in a separate account or be commingled by Beneficiary with the general funds of Beneficiary. No interest on the funds contained in the Repair and Remediation Reserve shall be paid by Beneficiary to Grantor. The Repair and Remediation Reserve is solely for the protection of Beneficiary and entails no responsibility on Beneficiary’s part beyond the payment of the costs and expenses described in this paragraph in accordance with the terms hereof and beyond the allowing of due credit for the sums actually received. In the event that the amounts on deposit or available in the Repair and Remediation Reserve are inadequate to pay the costs of the Deferred Maintenance, Grantor shall pay the amount of such deficiency. Upon assignment of this Deed of Trust by Beneficiary, any funds in the Repair and Remediation Reserve shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Beneficiary, as assignor, with respect thereto shall terminate. If there is a default under this Deed of Trust which is not cured within any applicable grace or cure period, Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, apply at any time the balance then remaining in the Repair-and Remediation Reserve against the indebtedness secured hereby in whatever order Beneficiary shall subjectively determine. No such application of the Repair and Remediation Reserve shall be deemed to cure any default hereunder. Grantor hereby grants to Beneficiary a power-of-attorney, coupled with an interest, to cause the Deferred Maintenance to be completed, performed, remediated and corrected to the satisfaction of Beneficiary upon Grantor’s failure to do so in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Deed of Trust, and to apply the amounts on deposit in the

 

 

- 53 -

 


Repair and Remediation Reserve to the costs associated therewith, all as Beneficiary may determine in its sole and absolute discretion but without obligation to do so. Upon the earlier to occur of full payment of the indebtedness secured hereby in accordance with its terms, the completion of the Deferred Maintenance to the satisfaction of the Beneficiary or at such earlier time as Beneficiary may elect, the balance of the Repair and Remediation Reserve then in Beneficiary’s possession shall be paid over to Grantor and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.

REMEDIES

 

3.1      Remedies Available. If there shall occur an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust, then this Deed of Trust is subject to foreclosure as provided by law and Beneficiary may, at its option and by or through a trustee, nominee, assignee or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise any or all of the following rights, remedies and recourses, either successively or concurrently:

 

(a)       Acceleration. Accelerate the maturity date of the Note and declare any or all of the indebtedness secured hereby to be immediately due and payable without any presentment, demand, protest, notice or action of any kind whatever (each of which is hereby expressly waived by Grantor), whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable. Upon any such acceleration,

 

 

- 56 -

 


payment of such accelerated amount shall constitute a prepayment of the principal balance of the Note and any applicable prepayment fee provided for in the Note shall then be immediately due and payable.

 

(b)        Entry on the Property. Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court and without regard to the adequacy of its security, enter upon and take possession of the Property, or any part thereof, without force or with such force as is permitted by law and without notice or process or with such notice or process as is required by law, unless such notice and process is waivable, in which case Grantor hereby waives such notice and process, and do any and all acts and perform any and all work which may be desirable or necessary in Beneficiary’s judgment to complete any unfinished construction on the Land, to preserve the value, marketability or rentability of the Property, to increase the income therefrom, to manage and operate the Property or to protect the security hereof, and all sums expended by Beneficiary therefor, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest-Rate, shall be immediately due and payable to Beneficiary by Grantor on demand and shall be secured hereby and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.

 

(c)        Collect Rents and Profits. With or without taking possession of the Property, sue or otherwise collect the Rents and Profits, including those past due and unpaid.

 

(d)       Appointment of Receiver. Upon, or at any time prior or after, initiating the exercise of any power of sale, instituting any judicial foreclosure or instituting any other foreclosure of the liens and security interests provided for herein or any other legal proceedings hereunder, make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Property, as a matter of strict right and without notice to Grantor and without regard to the adequacy of the Property for the repayment of the indebtedness secured hereby or the solvency of Grantor or any person or persons liable for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, and Grantor does hereby irrevocably consent to such appointment, waive any and all notices of and defenses to such appointment and agree not to oppose any application therefor by Beneficiary, but nothing herein is to be construed to deprive Beneficiary of any other right, remedy or privilege Beneficiary may now have under the law to have a receiver appointed, provided, however, that the appointment of such receiver, trustee or other appointee by virtue of any court order, statute or regulation shall not impair or in any manner prejudice the rights of Beneficiary to receive payment of the Rents and Profits pursuant to other terms and provisions hereof. Any such receiver shall have all of the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including, without limitation, the full power to hold, develop, rent, lease, manage, maintain, operate and otherwise use or permit the use of the Property upon such terms and conditions as said receiver may deem to be prudent and reasonable under the circumstances as more fully set forth in Section 3.3 below.

 

 

- 57 -

 


Such receivership shall, at the option of Beneficiary, continue until full payment of all of the indebtedness secured hereby or until title to the Property shall have passed by foreclosure sale under this Deed of Trust or deed in lieu of foreclosure.

 

(e)       Foreclosure. Immediately commence an action or proceeding to foreclose this Deed of Trust or to specifically enforce its provisions with respect to the indebtedness secured hereby, pursuant to the statutes in such case made and provided, and sell the Property or cause the Property to be sold in accordance with the requirements and procedures provided by said statutes in a single parcel or in several parcels at the option of Beneficiary.

 

(1)       Should Beneficiary have elected to accelerate the indebtedness secured hereby, Beneficiary may initiate foreclosure of the Property by requesting the Trustee to effectuate a non-judicial foreclosure sale. The Trustee of this Deed of Trust shall then sell, or offer for sale, the Property at public sale to the highest bidder for cash during a three hour period between the hours of ten o’clock a.m. and four o’clock p.m. whose earliest point in time is specified, on the first Tuesday of any month, at the area officially designated for holding such sales at the courthouse of any county in the State of Nevada in which any part of the Property is situated, after having given notice of the date, the time period, place and terms of said sale in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada then in force and governing said sales of real property and improvements under powers conferred by deeds of trust. The Property shall be sold by posting, or causing to be posted, at least twenty-one (21) consecutive days prior to the date of said sale, written or printed notice thereof at the courthouse door in each of the counties in which the Property is situated, designating the county where the Property will be sold and designating the date, the time period, the place and the terms of sale. A copy of such notice shall also be filed in the office of the County Clerk in each county of the State of Nevada in which any part of the Property is situated at least twenty-one (21) consecutive days before the date of said sale of the Property. Beneficiary shall have the right to become the purchaser at any sale held by any Trustee or substitute or successor Trustee, or by any receiver or public officer. Any Beneficiary purchasing at any such sale shall have the right to credit the secured indebtedness owing to such Beneficiary upon the amount of its bid entered at such sale to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid. Said Trustee may appoint an attorney-in-fact to act in its stead as Trustee to conduct sale as hereinbefore provided. Grantor authorizes and empowers the Trustee to sell the Property, in lots or parcels or as a whole, and to execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof good and sufficient deeds of conveyance thereto of the estate of title then existing on the Property and bills of sale with covenants of general warranty. Grantor binds himself to warrant and forever defend the title of such purchaser or purchasers when so made by the Trustee, and agrees to accept proceeds of said sale, if any, which are payable to Grantor as provided herein. In addition to the posting and filing of notices hereinabove

 


 

- 58 -

provided, and for so long as required by law, no foreclosure under the power of sale herein contained shall be held unless Beneficiary, at least twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of sale and in the manner prescribed by law, shall have served written notice of the proposed sale which designates the county where the Property will be sold and designates the date, time period, the place and the terms of sale by certified mail on Grantor. Service of such a notice by certified mail shall be completed upon deposit of such notice, postage prepaid and properly addressed to each such person or entity at the address for Grantor indicated on the first page of this Deed of Trust, in a Post Office of the United States Postal Service or in an official depository under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service. The affidavit of a person knowledgeable of the facts to the effect that such service was completed shall be prima facie evidence of the fact of service.

 

(2) Should Beneficiary have not elected to accelerate the indebtedness secured hereby, Beneficiary may nonetheless proceed with foreclosure in satisfaction of such default, either through the courts or by directing the Trustee to proceed as if under a full foreclosure, conducting sale as hereinbefore provided, but without declaring the entire indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust due, and provided that if said sale is made because of such default, such sale may be made subject to the unmatured part of the secured indebtedness. Such sale, if so made, shall not in any manner affect the unmatured part of the debt secured by this Deed of Trust, but as to such unmatured part, this Deed of Trust shall remain in full force as though no sale had been made. Several sales may be made without exhausting the right of sale with respect to any unmatured part of the secured indebtedness, it being the purpose and intent hereof to provide for a foreclosure and the sale of the Properly for any matured portion of said secured indebtedness without exhausting the power of foreclosure.

 

(3)        In the event foreclosure proceedings are instituted by Beneficiary, all expenses incident to such proceedings, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ and trustee’s fees and costs, shall be paid by Grantor and secured by this Deed of Trust and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note. The secured indebtedness and all other obligations secured by this Deed of Trust, including, without limitation, interest at the Default Interest Rate (as defined in the Note), any prepayment charge, fee or premium required to be paid under the Note in order to prepay principal (to the extent permitted by applicable law), attorneys’ and trustee’s fees and any other amounts due and unpaid to Beneficiary under the Loan Documents, may be bid by Beneficiary in the event of a foreclosure sale hereunder.

 

(f)       Judicial Remedies. Proceed by suit or suits, at law or in equity, instituted by Beneficiary, or Trustee, upon written request of Beneficiary, to enforce

 

 

- 59 -

 


the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby or the other obligations of Grantor hereunder or pursuant to the Loan Documents, to foreclose the liens and security interests of this Deed of Trust as against all or any part of the Property, and to have all or any part of the Property sold under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. This remedy shall be cumulative of any other nonjudicial remedies available to the Beneficiary with respect to the Loan Documents. Proceeding with the request or receiving a judgment for legal relief shall not be or be deemed to be an election of remedies or bar any available non-judicial remedy of the Beneficiary.

 

(g)        Other. Exercise any other right or remedy available hereunder, under any of the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity.

 

3.2       Application of Proceeds. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the proceeds of any sale under this Deed of Trust shall be applied, to the extent funds are so available, to the following items in such order as Beneficiary in its discretion may determine:

 

(a)        To payment of the costs, expenses and fees of taking possession of the Property, and of holding, operating, maintaining, using, leasing, repairing, improving, marketing and selling the same and of otherwise enforcing Beneficiary’s right and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, a reasonable fee to the Trustee, receivers’ fees, court costs, attorneys’, accountants’, appraisers’, managers’ and other professional fees, title charges and transfer taxes.

(d)       The remainder, if any, of such funds shall be disbursed to Grantor or to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.

 

3.3       Right and Authority of Receiver or Beneficiary in the Event of Default; Power of Attorney.

Any such lessee or third party is hereby irrevocably authorized to rely upon and comply with (and shall be fully protected by Grantor in so doing) any request, notice or demand by Beneficiary for the payment to Beneficiary of any Rents and Profits or other sums which may be or thereafter become due under its Lease, contract, concession, license or other agreement, or for the performance of any

 

 

- 61 -

 


undertakings under any such Lease, contract, concession, license or other agreement, and shall have no right or duty to inquire whether any Event of Default under this Deed of Trust or under any of the other Loan Documents has actually occurred or is then existing. Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints Beneficiary, its assignees, successors, transferees and nominees, as Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution in the Property, in Grantor’s name, place and stead, to do or permit any one or more of the foregoing described rights, remedies, powers and authorities, successively or concurrently, and said power of attorney shall be deemed a power coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as any indebtedness secured hereby is outstanding. Any money advanced by Beneficiary in connection with any action taken under this Section 3.3, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date of making such advancement by Beneficiary until actually paid by Grantor, shall be a demand obligation owing by Grantor to Beneficiary and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and by every other instrument securing the secured indebtedness.

 

3.4      Occupancy After Foreclosure. In the event there is a foreclosure sale hereunder and at the time of such sale, Grantor or Grantor’s representatives, successors or assigns, or any other persons claiming any interest in the Property by, through or under Grantor (except tenants of space in the Improvements subject to Leases entered into prior to the date hereof), are occupying or using the Property, or any part thereof, then, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each and all shall, at the option of Beneficiary or the purchaser at such sale, as the case may be, immediately become the tenant of the purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall be a tenancy from day-to-day, terminable at the will of either landlord or tenant, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the value of the Property occupied or used, such rental to be due daily to the purchaser. Further, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event the tenant fails to surrender possession of the Property upon the termination of such tenancy, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain an action for unlawful detainer of the Property in the appropriate court of the county in which the Land is located.

 

3.5      Notice to Account Debtors. Beneficiary may, at any time after an Event of Default notify the account debtors and obligors of any accounts, chattel paper, negotiable instruments or other evidences of indebtedness to Grantor included in the Property to pay Beneficiary directly. Grantor shall at any time or from time to time upon the request of Beneficiary provide to Beneficiary a current list of all such account debtors and obligors and their addresses.

 

3.6      Cumulative Remedies. All remedies contained in this Deed of Trust are cumulative and Beneficiary shall also have all other remedies provided at law and in equity or in any other Loan Documents. Such remedies may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently at the sole subjective direction of Beneficiary and may be exercised in any order and as often as occasion therefor shall arise. No act of Beneficiary shall be construed as an election to proceed under any particular

 

 

- 62 -

 


provisions of this Deed of Trust to the exclusion of any other provision of this Deed of Trust or as an election of remedies to the exclusion of any other remedy which may then or thereafter be available to Beneficiary. No delay or failure by Beneficiary to exercise any right or remedy under this Deed of Trust shall be construed to be a waiver of that right or remedy or of any Event of Default hereunder. Beneficiary may exercise any one or more of its rights and remedies at its option without regard to the adequacy of its security.

 

3.7      Payment of Expenses. Grantor shall pay on demand all of Beneficiary’s expenses incurred in any efforts to enforce any terms of this Deed of Trust, whether or not any lawsuit is filed and whether or not foreclosure is commenced but not completed, including, but not limited to, legal fees and disbursements, foreclosure costs and title charges, together with interest thereon from and after the date incurred by Beneficiary until actually paid by Grantor at the Default Interest Rate, and the same shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.

 

3.8      Fair Market Value. The “fair market value” of the Property shall be determined as of the foreclosure date in order to enforce a deficiency against Grantor or any other party liable for the repayment of the indebtedness secured hereby, the term “fair market value” shall include those matters required by law and shall also include the additional factors as follows:

 

(a)        The Property is to be valued “AS IS, WHERE IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS” and there shall be no assumption of restoration of or refurbishment of the Property after the date of foreclosure;

 

(b)        There shall be an assumption of a prompt resale of the Property for an all cash sales price by the purchaser at the foreclosure so that no extensive holding period should be factored into the determination of “fair market value” of the Property;

 

(c)       An offset to the fair market value of the Property, as determined hereunder, shall be made by deducting from such value the reasonable estimated closing costs relating to the sale of the Property, including, but not limited to, brokerage commissions, title policy expenses, tax prorations, escrow fees, and other common charges which are incurred by a seller of real property similar to the Property; and

 

(d)       After consideration of the factors required by law and those required above, an additional discount factor shall be calculated based upon the estimated time it will take to effectuate a sale of the Property so that the “fair market value” as so determined is discounted to be as of the date of the foreclosure of the Property.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

 

4.1      No Required Action. Trustee shall not be required to take any action toward the execution and enforcement of the trust hereby created or to institute, appear in, or defend any action, suit, or other proceeding in connection therewith where, in his opinion, such action would be likely to involve him in expense or liability, unless requested so to do by a written instrument signed by Beneficiary and, if Trustee so requests, unless Trustee is tendered security and indemnity satisfactory to Trustee against any and all cost, expense, and liability arising therefrom. Trustee shall not be responsible for the execution, acknowledgment, or validity of the Loan Documents, or for the proper authorization thereof, or for the sufficiency of the lien and security interest purported to be created hereby, and Trustee makes no representation in respect thereof or in respect of the rights, remedies, and recourse of Beneficiary.

 

4.2      Certain Rights. With the approval of Beneficiary, Trustee shall have the right to take any and all of the following actions: (i) to select, employ, and consult with counsel (who may be, but need not be, counsel for Beneficiary) upon any matters arising hereunder, including the preparation, execution, and interpretation of the Loan Documents, and shall be fully protected in relying as to legal matters on the advice of counsel, (ii) to execute any of the trusts and powers hereof and to perform any duty hereunder either directly or through his agents or attorneys, (iii) to select and employ, in and about the execution of his duties hereunder, suitable accountants, engineers and other experts, agents and attorneys-in-fact, either corporate or individual, not regularly in the employ of Trustee (and Trustee shall not be answerable for any act, default, negligence, or misconduct of any such accountant, engineer or other expert, agent or attorney-in-fact, if selected with reasonable care, or for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee’s gross negligence or bad faith), and (iv) any and all other lawful action that Beneficiary may instruct Trustee to take to protect or enforce Beneficiary’s rights hereunder. Trustee shall not be personally liable in case of entry by Trustee, or anyone entering by virtue of the powers herein granted to Trustee, upon the Property for debts contracted for or liability or damages incurred in the management or operation of the Property.

will, from time to time, pay the compensation due to Trustee hereunder and reimburse Trustee for, and save Trustee harmless against, any and all liability and expenses which may be incurred by Trustee in the performance of Trustee’s duties.

 

4.3     Retention of Money. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by applicable law), and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by Trustee hereunder.

 

4.4      Successor Trustees. Trustee may resign by the giving of notice of such resignation in writing or verbally to Beneficiary. If Trustee shall die, resign, or become disqualified from acting in the execution of this trust, or if, for any reason, Beneficiary shall prefer to appoint a substitute trustee or multiple substitute trustees, or successive substitute trustees or successive multiple substitute trustees, to act instead of the aforenamed Trustee, Beneficiary shall have full power to appoint a substitute trustee (or, if preferred, multiple substitute trustees) in succession who shall succeed (and if multiple substitute trustees are appointed, each of such multiple substitute trustees shall succeed) to all the estates, rights, powers, and duties of the aforenamed Trustee. Such appointment may be executed by any authorized agent of Beneficiary, and if such Beneficiary be a corporation and such appointment be executed in its behalf by any officer of such corporation, such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the board of directors or any superior officer of the corporation. Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the aforenamed Trustee, or his successor or successors in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof. If multiple substitute Trustees are appointed, each of such multiple substitute Trustees shall be empowered and authorized to act alone without the necessity of the joinder of the other multiple substitute trustees, whenever any

action or undertaking of such substitute trustees is requested or required under or pursuant to this Deed of Trust or applicable law.

 

4.5       Perfection of Appointment. Should any deed, conveyance, or instrument of any nature be required from Grantor by any Trustee or substitute Trustee to more fully and certainly vest in and confirm to the Trustee or substitute Trustee such estates, rights, powers, and duties, then, upon request by the Trustee or substitute Trustee, any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments shall be made, executed, acknowledged, and delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Grantor.

 

4.6      Succession Instruments. Any substitute Trustee appointed pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of its or his predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request of Beneficiary or of the substitute

 

 

- 65 -

 


Trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver any instrument transferring to such substitute Trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the property and moneys held by such Trustee to the substitute Trustee so appointed in the Trustee’s place.

 

4.7      No Representation by Trustee or Beneficiary. By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, or fulfilled or to be given to Trustee or Beneficiary pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any officer’s certificate, balance sheet, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, or insurance policy, neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness, or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision, or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty or affirmation with respect thereto by Trustee or Beneficiary.

5.26    Counterparts. This Deed of Trust may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be effective only upon delivery and thereafter shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall be taken to be one and the same instrument, for the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same signature page. Any signature page of this Deed of Trust may be detached from any counterpart of this Deed of Trust without impairing the legal effect of any signatures thereon and may be attached to another counterpart of this Deed of Trust identical in form hereto but having attached to it one or more additional signature pages.

- 71 -

 


subject matter hereof and thereof and dl prior agreements relative hereto and thereto which are not contained herein or therein are terminated. This Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents may not be amended, revised, waived, discharged, released or terminated orally but only by a written instrument or instruments executed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination is asserted. Any alleged amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination which is not so documented shall not be effective as to any Party.

 

5.30    Maximum Interest. The provisions of this Deed of Trust and of all agreements between Grantor and Beneficiary, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the maturity of the Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid (“Interest”), to Beneficiary for the use, forbearance or retention of the money loaned under the Note exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, performance or fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any agreement between Grantor and Beneficiary shall, at the time performance or fulfillment of such provision shall be due, exceed the limit for Interest prescribed by law or otherwise transcend the limit of validity prescribed by applicable law, then ips0 facto the obligation to be performed or fulfilled shall be reduced to such limit, and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, Beneficiary shall ever receive anything of value deemed Interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive Interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance owing under the Note in the inverse order of its maturity (whether or not then due) or at the option of Beneficiary be paid over to Grantor, and not to the payment of Interest. All Interest (including any amounts or payments deemed to be Interest) paid or agreed to be paid to Beneficiary shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal balance of the Note so that the Interest thereon for such full period will not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This paragraph will control all agreements between Grantor and Beneficiary.

 

5.31    Interest Payable by Beneficiary. Beneficiary shall cause funds in the Replacement Reserve to be deposited into an interest bearing account of the type customarily maintained by Beneficiary or its servicing agent for the investment of similar reserves, which account may not yield the highest interest rate then available. Interest payable on such amounts shall be computed based on the daily outstanding balance in the Replacement Reserve. Such interest shall be calculated on a simple, non-compounded interest basis based solely on contributions made to the Replacement Reserve by Grantor. All interest earned on amounts contributed to the Replacement Reserve shall be retained by Beneficiary and accumulated for the benefit of Grantor and added to the balance in the Replacement Reserve and shall be

 

 

- 72 -

 


disbursed for payment of the items for which other funds in the Replacement Reserve are to be disbursed.

 

5.32    Secondary Market. Beneficiary may sell, transfer and deliver the Loan Documents to one or more Investors in the secondary mortgage market. In connection with such sale, may retain or assign responsibility for servicing the loan or may delegate some or all of such responsibility and/or obligations to a servicer, including, but not limited to, any subservicer or master servicer, on behalf of the investors. All references to Beneficiary herein shall refer to and include, without limitation, any such servicer, to the extent applicable.

 

5.33    State Specific Provisions. The additional covenants, agreements and provisions set forth in Exhibit B and Exhibit C attached hereto, if any, shall be a part of this Deed of Trust and shall, in the event of any conflict between such further stipulations and any of the other provisions of this Deed of Trust, be deemed to control.

 

(a)       This Deed of Trust secures future advances, as defined in Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Section 106.320, and is to be governed by NRS 106.300 to 106.400, inclusive. The maximum principal amount to be secured hereby is $10,080,000.

 

(b)       The granting clause of this Deed of Trust shall be deemed amended to provide that the Property is conveyed unto Trustee, in trust for the benefit of Beneficiary, with power of sale and with right of entry and possession.

 

(c)       Without limiting the generality of Section 1.15 of this Deed of Trust, Grantor agrees that Beneficiary shall have the same right, power and authority to enter and inspect the Property as is granted to a secured lender under NRS Section 40.507, and that Beneficiary will have the right to appoint a receiver to enforce the right to enter and inspect the Property to the extent such authority is provided under Nevada law, including, without limitation, the authority granted to a secured lender under NRS Section 32.01 5.

 

(d)        As used in this Deed of Trust, “Environmental Laws” shall also include the applicable provisions of NRS Chapters 444,445A, 445B, 445C, 459 and 590, NRS Sections 618.750 through 618.850, inclusive, and NRS 477.045, and the present and future rules, regulations and guidance documents promulgated under any or all of the foregoing.

 

(e)       Beneficiary’s rights and remedies under this Deed of Trust shall be subject to NRS 107.080.

- 73 -

 


 

Should Beneficiary have elected to accelerate the indebtedness secured hereby, Beneficiary may initiate foreclosure of the Property by requesting the Trustee to effectuate a non-judicial foreclosure sale. Trustee shall give and record such notice as the law then requires as a condition precedent to a trustee’s sale. When the minimum period of time required by law after such notice has elapsed, Trustee, without notice to or demand upon Grantor except as required by law, shall sell the Property at the time and place of sale fixed by it in the notice of sale, at one or several sales, either as a whole or in separate parcels and in such manner and order, all as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash, in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale. Neither Grantor nor any other person or entity other than Beneficiary shall have the right to direct the order in which the Property is sold. Subject to requirements and limits imposed by law, Trustee may, from time to time, postpone the sale of all or any portion of the Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time may postpone the sale by public announcement at the time and place fixed by the preceding postponement. A sale of less than the whole of the Property on any defective or irregular sale made hereunder shall not exhaust the power of sale provided for herein. Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser at such sale a deed conveying the Property or portion thereof so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in the deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Beneficiary shall have the right to become the purchaser at any sale held by any Trustee or substitute or successor Trustee, or by any receiver of public officer. Any Beneficiary purchasing at any such sale shall have the right to credit the secured indebtedness owing to such Beneficiary upon the amount of its bid entered at such sale to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid. Said Trustee may appoint an attorney-in-fact to act in its stead as Trustee to conduct sale as hereinbefore provided. Grantor binds himself to warrant and forever defend the title of such purchaser or purchasers when so made by the Trustee, and agrees to accept proceeds of said sale, if any, which are payable to Trustee as provided herein.

 

(g)       Where not inconsistent with the provisions of Sections 3.1 through 3.7, inclusive, of this Deed of Trust, covenants 1, 2 (full replacement value), 3, 4 (Default Interest Rate), 5, 6,7 (a reasonable percentage), 8 and 9 of NRS 107.030 are hereby adopted and made a part of this Deed of Trust.

 

(h)       Supplementing Section 5.23 of this Deed of Trust, this Deed of Trust shall constitute a fixture filing pursuant to NRS 104.9402, as amended and recodified from time to time. Some or all of the Collateral may be or become a fixture in which Beneficiary has a security interest under the security agreement set forth in Section 1.22 above (the “Security Agreement”). However, nothing herein shall, or shall be deemed to, create any lien or interest in favor of the Trustee in any Collateral

 

 

- 74 -

 


which is not a fixture. The rights, remedies and interests of Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust and the Security Agreement are independent and cumulative, and there shall be no merger of any lien hereunder with any security interest created by the Security Agreement. Beneficiary may elect to exercise or enforce any of its rights, remedies or interests under either or both this Deed of Trust or the Security Agreement as Beneficiary may from time to time deem appropriate.

 

 

- 75 -

 


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Grantor has executed this Deed of Trust as of the date hereof.

GUARANTY

 

THIS GUARANTY is entered into as of April 23, 2007, by W. ROBERT KOHORST (“Guarantor”), in favor of EAST WEST BANK, a California banking corporation (“Lender”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.    Lender is the payee under the Promissory Note of this date in the principal amount of $9,000,000 (the “Note”) made by Everest Properties II, LLC (“Borrower”). The Note evidences a loan from Lender to Borrower in the maximum principal amount of the Note (the “Loan”). Borrower’s performance under the Note is secured by the Security Agreement of this date executed by Borrower for the benefit of Lender (the “Security Agreement”). The Note, Security Agreement and all other documents, agreements and instruments evidencing, securing or otherwise delivered in connection with the Loan are referred to as the “Loan Documents.”

 

B.        Guarantor’s execution and delivery of this Guaranty is a condition precedent to Lender’s making the Loan. Guarantor has in interest in Borrower and will directly benefit from Lender’s making the Loan to Borrower. Guarantor is therefore willing to enter into this Guaranty to induce Lender to make the Loan to Borrower.

 

AGREEMENT

 

 

1.

Guaranty.

 

(a)       Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full and prompt payment of all principal, interest, fees, costs and other sums owed under the Loan Documents at the times and according to the terms expressed in the Loan Documents, including any interest, late charges, default interest, fees and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that would have accrued under the Loan Documents but for the commencement of a case under Title 11 of the United States Code or any successor statute (the “Bankruptcy Code”).

 

(b)       Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance of the Note and not of collectibility only.

 

2.        Chances Do Not Affect Liability. Guarantor agrees that Lender may without notice to Guarantor and without limiting Guarantor’s liability under, or affecting the enforceability of, this Guaranty:

 

(a)       grant extensions of time, renewals or other indulgences and modifications to Borrower or any other party under the Loan Documents;

 

 

(b)

change the rate of interest under the Note;

 

 


 

(c)

change, amend or modify the Loan Documents;

 

(d)       authorize the sale, exchange, release or subordination of any security or collateral in which Lender has an interest or fail to create, perfect or maintain the priority of any security interest in any such collateral;

 

(e)       take additional security for any obligation in connection with the Loan;

 

(f)       discharge or release any party or parties liable under the Loan Documents;

 

(g)       waive rights of, make arrangements with respect to, or file or refrain from filing a claim in any bankruptcy proceeding of Borrower, any other guarantor of the Loan, any pledgor of collateral for any person’s obligations to Lender or any other person related to the Loan;

 

(h)       make other or additional loans to Borrower in such amounts and at such times as Lender may determine;

 

(i)        credit payments in such manner and order of priority to principal, interest or other obligations as Lender may determine; and

 

(j)        otherwise deal with Borrower, any other guarantor of the Loan, any pledgor of collateral for any person’s obligations to Lender or any other person related to the Loan as Lender may determine in its discretion.

 

 

3.

Additional Waivers.

 

(a)       Guarantor waives all benefits and defenses it may have under California Civil Code Section 2809 and agrees that Guarantor’s liability may he larger in amount and more burdensome than that of Borrower. Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall continue until all sums due under the Loan Documents have been paid in full and shall not be limited or affected in any way by any impairment or any diminution or loss of value of any security or collateral for the Loan, from whatever cause, including, without limitation, Lender’s failure to perfect a security interest in any such security or collateral or any disability or other defense of Borrower, any other guarantor of the Loan, any pledgor of collateral for any person’s obligations to Lender or any other person related to the Loan.

 

(b)       Guarantor agrees that its liability under, and the enforceability of, this Guaranty are absolute and are not contingent upon the genuineness, validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or the availability of any defense to Borrower, any other guarantor of the Loan, any pledgor of collateral for any person’s obligations to Lender or any other person related to the Loan. Guarantor waives all benefits and defenses it may have under California Civil Code Section 2810 and agrees that Guarantor shall be liable even if Borrower, any other guarantor of the Loan, any

 


pledgor of collateral for any person’s obligations to Lender or any other person related to the Loan had no liability at the time of execution of the Note or later ceases to be liable.

 

(c)        Guarantor waives its rights under California Civil Code Section 2815 and agrees that by doing so Guarantor has no right to revoke this Guaranty until all obligations under the Loan Documents have been fully satisfied.

 

(d)       Guarantor waives its rights under California Civil Code Section 2819 and agrees that by doing so Guarantor’s liability and the enforceability of this Guaranty shall continue even if Lender alters any obligations under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents in any respect.

 

(e)       Guarantor waives its rights under California Civil Code Section 2839 and agrees that by doing so (i) its obligations under this Guaranty shall not be deemed satisfied by a mere offer of payment by Borrower or any other person of the principal obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) Guarantor’s liability under and the enforceability of this Guaranty shall continue until all obligations under the Loan Documents have been fully satisfied.

 

(f)       Guarantor waives all benefits and defenses it may have under California Civil Code Sections 2845, 2849 and 2850, including, without limitation, the right to require Lender to (i) proceed against Borrower, any other guarantor of the Loan, any pledgor of collateral for any person’s obligations to Lender or any other person related to the Loan, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any other security or collateral Lender may hold, or (iii) pursue any other right or remedy for any Guarantor’s benefit, and agrees that Lender may foreclose against all or a part of the Property or any other security Lender may hold without taking any action against Borrower, any other guarantor of the Loan, any pledgor of collateral for any person’s obligations to Lender or any other person related to the Loan, and without proceeding against or exhausting any security or collateral Lender holds.

 

(g)       Guarantor waives its rights under California Civil Code Sections 2899 and 3433 and agrees that by doing so Lender has no obligation regarding the order in which it exercises its remedies against the Property or any other collateral security encumbered pursuant to any of the Loan Documents.

 

(h)       Guarantor waives diligence and all demands, protests, presentments and notices of every kind or nature, including notices of protest, dishonor, nonpayment, acceptance of this Guaranty and creation, renewal, extension, modification or accrual of any of the obligations under the Note or the other Loan Documents. Guarantor also waives the right to plead all statutes of limitation as a defense to Guarantor’s liability under, or the enforceability of, this Guaranty.

 

4.         Guarantor Informed of Borrower’s Condition. Guarantor acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to review the Loan Documents, the value of the security for the Loan and Borrower’s financial condition and ability to repay the

 


Loan. Guarantor agrees to keep itself fully informed of all aspects of Borrower’s financial condition and the performance of Borrower’s obligations to Lender and that Lender has no duty to disclose to Guarantor any information pertaining to Borrower or any security for the Loan.

 

5.         Subrogation. Reimbursement and Contribution Rights. Guarantor agrees that its rights of subrogation and reimbursement against Borrower, its right of subrogation against any other collateral or security for the Loan or the pledgor of such collateral or security and its right of contribution from any guarantor of the Loan shall be subordinate to Lender’s rights against Borrower, in such collateral or security, against any such pledgor and against any such guarantor. Guarantor shall have no such rights of subrogation, reimbursement or contribution until all amounts due under the Loan Documents have been paid in full and Lender has released, transferred or disposed of all of its rights in any collateral or security. Guarantor waives its rights under California Civil Code Sections 2847, 2848 and 2849 to the extent inconsistent with the foregoing.

 

6.        Guaranty Continues if Payments Are Avoided or Recovered from Lender. If all or any portion of the obligations guaranteed under this Guaranty are paid or performed, Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall continue and remain in full force and effect if all or any part of such payment or performance is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from Lender as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, irrespective of (a) any notice of revocation given by Guarantor prior to such avoidance or recovery, and (b) payment in full of the Loan.

 

7.        Subordination. Any rights of Guarantor, whether now existing or later arising, to receive payment on account of any indebtedness (including interest) owed to it by Borrower or any subsequent owner of the Property, or to withdraw capital invested by it in Borrower, or to receive distributions from Borrower, shall at all times be subordinate as to lien and time of payment and in all other respects to the full and prior repayment to Lender of the Loan. Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment of any sums hereby subordinated until the Loan has been paid and performed in full and any such sums received in violation of this Guaranty shall be received by Guarantor in trust for Lender.

 

8.         Representations and Warranties. Guarantor makes the following representations and warranties to Lender:

 

(a) This Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

 

(b)       Guarantor’s execution and delivery of, and its performance of its obligations under, this Guaranty do not and will not conflict with any (i) contractual or legal restriction or obligation, or (ii) court or regulatory order, binding on or affecting Guarantor.

 


(c)       There is no pending or, to the actual knowledge of Guarantor, threatened action, proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator against or affecting Guarantor or any of Guarantor’s assets which, if decided adversely to Guarantor, would materially and adversely affect the financial condition of Guarantor or of any of Guarantor’s assets or would materially and adversely affect the present or future ability of Guarantor to perform its obligations under the Guaranty.

 

(d)       Guarantor is not insolvent nor will Guarantor be rendered insolvent by the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, Guarantor will not be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in its business or undertakings, nor will Guarantor have intended to incur, or believe that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

 

(e)       Except as disclosed to Lender in writing, the financial statements and all financial data delivered to Lender relating to Guarantor are true, correct and complete in all material respects.

(f)       Guarantor has filed all required federal, state and local tax returns. Guarantor has paid all federal, state and local taxes prior to delinquency (including any interest and penalties) other than taxes being promptly and actively contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings.

 

(g)       Guarantor is in material compliance with all laws, regulations and court orders applicable to it and its business.

 

(h)       None of Guarantor’s representations or warranties contained in this Guaranty or any other document, certificate or written statement furnished to Lender on behalf of Guarantor contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained in this Agreement or in such other document, certificate or written statement (when taken in their entirety) not misleading. There is no fact known to Guarantor which materially or adversely affects the business, operations, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantor which has not been disclosed in this Agreement or in another written statement delivered to Lender by Borrower or Guarantor.

 

9.        Financial Reporting. Guarantor shall deliver the following information to Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender:

 

(a)       as soon as filed, but in no event later than October 3 1 of each year, copies of Guarantor’s federal income tax return, together with all schedules; and

 


(b)       not later than March 3 1 of each year, a balance sheet of Guarantor as of the end of the previous calendar year;

 

(c)       all other information, reports and notices relating to Guarantor that Lender shall reasonably request.

 

10.       Borrower. As used in this Guaranty, “Borrower” shall include any successor to Borrower with respect to the Loan and any estate created by the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code or any other insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or liquidation proceeding, or by any trustee under the Bankruptcy Code, liquidator, sequestrator or receiver of Borrower or Borrower’s property or similar person duly appointed pursuant to any law generally governing any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or like proceeding.

 

11.        Opportunity to Review. Guarantor acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the matters discussed and contemplated by the Loan Documents, including the remedies Lender may pursue against Borrower in the event of a default under the Loan Documents, the value of the security or collateral for the Loan and Borrower’s financial condition and ability to perform under the Loan. Guarantor further has had the opportunity to review this Guaranty with its counsel.

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

 

April 23, 2007

 

Pasadena, California

$9,000,000

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, EVEREST PROPERTIES II, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Maker”), having its principal place of business at 199 South Los Robles Avenue, Suite 200, Pasadena, California 91 101, promises to pay to the order of EAST WEST BANK, a California banking corporation (“Payee”), at 135 N. Los Robles, 2nd Floor, Pasadena, California 91 101, or at such other place as the holder of this Note from time to time may designate in writing, the principal sum of Nine Million Dollars ($9,000,000), or so much of such amount as may from time to time be disbursed and unpaid, together with interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note from time to time outstanding at the “Interest Rate” (as defined below) in lawful money of the United States of America.

 

 

1.

Payments of Principal and Interest.

 

(a)       Interest. On May 1, 2007 and on the first day of each month after such date (each a “Payment Date”), Maker shall pay to Payee the amount of interest which shall have accrued at the Interest Rate during the calendar month (or portion of such calendar month, as applicable) immediately preceding such Payment Date.

 

“Interest Rate” means the “Prime Rate” (as defined below) less .125% per annum. “Prime Rate” means the variable rate of interest published in the Money Rates Section of The Wall Street Journal under the caption “prime rate.” Each change in the Prime Rate shall be effective as of the opening of business on the date announced as the effective date on which the changed Prime Rate is published. If more than one “prime rate” is published, the highest rate published shall be the Prime Rate for purposes of this Note.

 

(b)      Payment on Maturity Date. The entire unpaid principal amount of this Note, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts then due under the “Loan Documents” (as defined below), shall be due and payable on April 30, 2009 (the “Maturity Date”), unless such amounts become due and payable sooner because of acceleration, in which case they shall be due and payable in full on the date of such acceleration.

 

2.        Payment Provisions. All payments received by Payee later than 1:00 p.m. (Los Angeles time) shall be considered received on the following business day. Interest payable under this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Payee may apply any payments made pursuant to the terms of this Note and the other Loan Documents in such order as it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

 


 

3.        Loan Documents. Repayment of this Note is secured by a Security Agreement of this date executed by Maker for the benefit of Payee (the “Security Agreement”) and by other security evidenced by agreements, financing statements, instruments and documents executed concurrently with this Note or from time to time after this date executed and delivered by or on behalf of Maker to Payee. This Note, the Security Agreement and all other documents, agreements and instruments evidencing, securing or delivered in connection with the loan made pursuant to this Note are collectively referred to in this Note as the “Loan Documents.”

 

4.        Prepayment. Upon not less than two business days’ notice to Payee, Maker shall have the right to prepay amounts owing under this Note in an amount in each case of not less than $25,000.

 

5.        Late Charges. If any installment of principal or interest due under this Note shall become overdue for a period longer than ten days, Maker shall pay to Payee a late charge of six cents for each dollar so overdue. Maker acknowledges that late payment to Payee will cause Payee to incur costs it would not have to incur had payment been timely made, the exact amount of such costs being difficult and impracticable to assess. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges and the potential costs to be incurred as a result of Payee’s frustration and inability to meet its other commitments. The parties agree that the late charges represent a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing as of the date of this Note and represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Payee will incur by reason of late payment. The parties further agree that proof of actual damages would be costly and inconvenient. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue amount to the extent that such overdue amount remains outstanding, and shall not prevent Payee from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Payee. The late charges shall be due and payable immediately without demand and shall be secured by any Loan Document which grants a security interest.

 

6. Events of Default and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default under any term of any Loan Document (an “Event of Default”), Payee, at its option, may:

 

(a)      collect interest on the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note from time to time outstanding at a rate of interest (the “Default Rate”) equal to the sum of the Interest Rate plus five percent per annum from the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default;

 

(b)      declare all of Maker’s obligations under this Note and any other Loan Documents to be immediately due and payable, without notice, notice being expressly waived; and

 

(c)      pursue each other right remedy and power available to it under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents or available to it at law or equity.

 


 

The rights, remedies and powers of Payee, as provided in this Note and the other Loan Documents, are cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singly, successively or together against Maker, the property described in any of the Loan Documents, any guarantor of Maker’s obligations and any other security given at any time to secure the payment of Maker’s obligations, all at the sole discretion of Payee. Payee may resort to every other right or remedy available at law or in equity without first exhausting all rights and remedies contained in this Note, the Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents, all in Payee’s sole discretion. Failure of Payee, for any period of time or on more than one occasion, to exercise its option to accelerate the Maturity Date shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise such right at any time during the continued existence of any Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents or in the event of any subsequent Event of Default under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents. Payee shall not by any other omission or act be deemed to waive any of its rights or remedies under this Note or the other Loan Documents unless such waiver is contained in a writing signed by Payee, and then only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. A waiver in connection with one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy in connection with a subsequent event.

 

7.        Waivers and Consents. Maker and each endorser, guarantor, surety or accommodation party of this Note and each other person liable or to become liable for any part of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, waives presentment for payment, demand, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor, protest of any dishonor, notice of protest and protest of this Note, and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of the payment of this Note, and agree that their liability shall be unconditional and without regard to the liability of any other party and shall not be in any manner affected by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or consented to by Payee. Maker and each such endorser, guarantor, surety, accommodation party and person liable or to become liable further consent to every extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification that may be granted by Payee with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and to the release of any collateral given to secure the payment of amounts owing under this Note, with or without substitution, and agree that additional makers or guarantors or endorsers may become parties to this Note without notice to Maker or any other parties and without affecting the liability of Maker or any other parties under this Note.

 

 

8.

Miscellaneous.

 

(a)      Governing Law. All questions with respect to the construction of this Note and the rights and liabilities of the parties to this Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.

 

(b)      Binding on Successors. This Note shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the successors and assigns of each of the parties to this Note.

(ii)       Payee shall also be entitled to its attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in any post-judgment proceedings to collect and enforce the judgment. This provision is separate and several and shall survive the merger of this Note into any judgment on this Note.

 

(iii)     The foregoing attorneys’ fees provisions are mutual as provided in Section 1717 of the California Civil Code.

 

(d)      Entire Agreement. This Note and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding between and among the parties in respect of the subject matter of such agreements and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect to such subject matter, whether oral or written.

 

(e)      Waivers. Waiver by Payee of any term, covenant or condition under this Note or the other Loan Documents, or of any default by Maker under this Note or the other Loan Documents, or any failure by Payee to insist upon strict performance by Maker of any term, covenant or condition contained in this Note or the other Loan Documents, shall be effective or binding on Payee only if made in writing by Payee; no such waiver shall be implied from any omission by Payee to take action with respect to any such term, covenant, condition or default.

(i)        Debtor shall not relocate its chief executive office or the place where Debtor maintains its records concerning the Collateral without first giving Secured Party written notice of the time and place of such relocation.

(ii)       as soon as filed, but in no event later than October 31 of each year, copies of Debtor’s state and federal income tax returns, together with all schedules; and

 

(iii)      all other information, reports and notices relating to the Property and Debtor that Secured Party shall reasonably request.

 

 

6.

Collection and Enforcement of Collateral.

 

(a)       Upon Secured Party’s request, irrespective of the occurrence or not of an “Event of Default” (as defined below) or a default under any part of the Collateral, Debtor shall notify the maker of the Assigned Note that all of such maker’s payments under the Assigned Note are to be made to Secured Party or such person as Secured Party shall designate.

 

(b)       Secured Party may require that all proceeds or property realized upon any enforcement or foreclosure under the Assigned Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any property acquired by Debtor for cash and/or credit bid at any foreclosure sale) be pledged to Secured Party as additional security for the Obligations (and this Agreement shall be deemed to be continue to cover and grant a security interest in all such proceeds and property), or, at Secured Party’s option, Secured Party may require that all such proceeds and property be applied to the Obligations in such order and manner as Secured Party may determine. In addition, if Secured Party determines that Debtor has failed to instigate or diligently pursue any foreclosure upon the occurrence of any default of any obligor on the Collateral and Secured Party determines that such failure may result in the material impairment of Secured Party’s Collateral, and if Secured Party does so in accordance with applicable law, then Secured Party may, at its option, enforce or conduct any foreclosure under the Collateral in its own name, and Debtor consents to any nonjudicial foreclosure under the Assigned Note and Assigned

 


Deed of Trust, or any other action taken by Secured Party which may release any person from personal liability under any of the Collateral; and in connection therewith, Secured Party is authorized to credit bid all or any part of the indebtedness owing to Debtor at any foreclosure sale. All proceeds or property realized by Secured Party upon any such enforcement or foreclosure shall be held by Secured Party as additional security for the Obligations or, at Secured Party’s option, shall be applied to Obligations in such order and manner as Secured Party may determine.

 

(c)       In the event that, prior to the complete satisfaction of the Obligations, Debtor or Secured Party becomes vested with fee or leasehold title to any of the real property encumbered by the Assigned Deed of Trust, concurrently with such vesting, Secured Party shall grant such real property to Debtor if necessary, and Debtor shall execute and deliver to Secured Party a deed of trust, assignment of rents, security agreement, UCC-I financing statement and such other documents and agreements as Secured Party shall require in connection with such real property, in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party. Debtor further agrees in such event to provide Secured Party, at Debtor’s sole cost and expense, with an ALTA loan policy of title insurance in an amount required by Secured Party in its sole discretion, issued by a title insurance company satisfactory to Secured Party, subject only to such exceptions as shall exist when Debtor acquires such title.

 

7. Further Assurances. Debtor shall, at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Debtor, execute and deliver promptly all.further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted by this Agreement or to enable Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies under this Agreement with respect to any Collateral.

 

 

8.

Attorney-in-Fact: Secured Party May Perform.

 

(a)       Debtor appoints Secured Party Debtor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in Debtor’s place and in the name of Debtor or otherwise, from time to time in Secured Party’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument which Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, to receive, indorse and collect all instruments made payable to Debtor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral and to give full discharge for the same. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

 

(b)       Secured Party, either in its own name or in the name of its nominee, may, but shall not be obligated to, (i) perform such acts as it may deem proper to preserve, protect and defend the Collateral and the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral and (ii) cause the performance of Debtor’s obligations under this Agreement in the absence of Debtor’s performance of such obligations. Debtor may exercise such rights, powers and remedies with respect to the Collateral as an owner would possess.

 


 

(c)       The expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection with Secured Party’s actions pursuant to this Section 8 shall be payable by Debtor under Section 13.

 

9.         Secured Party’s Obligation for Collateral. Secured Party shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to maturities, defaults, claims or other matters relative to the Collateral, whether or not Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve the rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral.

 

10.       Default. An “Event of Default” shall occur under this Agreement upon the occurrence of any of the following events and the lapse of any applicable period in which Debtor is permitted to cure such events under any Loan Document:

 

(a)       Debtor’s failure to pay when due any amount under the Note or any other sum required to be paid or deposit of funds required to be made by the terms of any Loan Document;

 

(b)       any default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

2.         Representations Regarding Hazardous Substances. Indemnitors hereby represent and warrant to and covenant and agree with Lender as follows:

 

(a)       To the best of Indemnitors’ knowledge, information and belief, the Property is not in direct or indirect violation of any Environmental Law;

 

(b)       No Hazardous Substances are located on or have been handled, generated, stored, processed or disposed of on or released or discharged from the Property (including underground contamination) except for those substances used by Borrower in the ordinary course of its business and in compliance with all Environmental Laws;

 

(c)       The Property is not subject to any private or governmental lien or judicial or administrative notice or action relating to Hazardous Substances;

 

(d)       There are no existing or closed underground storage tanks or other underground storage receptacles for Hazardous Substances on the Property;

(f) Indemnitors have received no notice that, and to the best of Indemnitors’ knowledge and belief, there has been no claim by any party that, any use, operation or condition of the Property has caused any nuisance or any other liability or adverse condition on any other property nor do Indemnitors know of any basis for such a claim.

 

 

3.

Covenants of Indemnitors.

 

(a)       Indemnitors shall keep or cause the Property to be kept free from Hazardous Substances (except those substances used by Borrower in the ordinary course of its business and in compliance with all Environmental Laws) and in compliance with all Environmental Laws, shall not install or use any underground storage tanks, shall expressly prohibit the use, generation, handling, storage, production, processing and disposal of Hazardous Substances by all tenants of space in the improvements, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the term of this Agreement, shall not install in the improvements or permit to be installed in the improvements asbestos or any substance containing asbestos. Indernnitors acknowledge their responsibility to be aware of, and fully versed in, all Environmental Laws in effect during the term of the Loan. Indemnitors further acknowledge and agree that Lender has no duty to provide Indemnitors with any information regarding the Environmental Laws or any interpretation thereof.

 


 

(b)        Indemnitors shall immediately notify Lender should Indemnitors, or either of them, become aware of (i) any Hazardous Substances, or other potential environmental problem or liability, with respect to the Property, (ii) any lien, action or notice affecting the Property or Borrower resulting from any violation or alleged violation of the Environmental Laws, (iii) the institution of any investigation, inquiry or proceeding concerning Borrower or the Property pursuant to any Environmental Law or otherwise relating to Hazardous Substances, or (iv) the discovery of any occurrence, condition or state of facts which would render any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement incorrect in any respect if made at the time of such discovery. Indemnitors shall, promptly and when and as required and regardless of the source of the contamination, at their own expense, take all actions as shall be necessary or advisable for the clean-up of any and all portions of the Property or other affected property, including, without limitation, all investigative, monitoring, removal, containment and remedial actions in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws (and in all events in a manner satisfactory to Lender), and shall further pay or cause to be paid, at no expense to Lender, all clean-up, administrative and enforcement costs of applicable governmental agencies which may be asserted against the Property. In the event Indemnitors fail to do so, Lender may cause the Property or other affected property to be freed from any Hazardous Substances or otherwise brought into conformance with Environmental Laws and any cost incurred in connection therewith shall be included in Costs and shall be paid by Indemnitors in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 4(c) hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, Indemnitors hereby grant to Lender access to the Property and an irrevocable license to remove any items deemed by Lender to be Hazardous Substances and to do all things Lender shall deem necessary to bring the Property into conformance with Environmental Laws.

 

(c)        Upon the request of Lender, at any time and from time to time after the occurrence of a default under this Agreement or the Loan Documents or at such other time as Lender has reasonable grounds to believe that Hazardous Substances are or have been released, stored or disposed of on or around the Property or that the Property may be in violation of the Environmental Laws, Indemnitors shall provide, at Indemnitors’ sole expense, an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by a hydrogeologist or environmental engineer or other appropriate consultant approved by Lender indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances on the Property or an inspection or audit of the improvements located on the Property prepared by an engineering or consulting firm approved by Lender indicating the presence or absence of friable asbestos or substances containing asbestos on the Property. If Indemnitors fail to provide such inspection or audit within thirty (30) days after such request, Lender may order the same, and Indemnitors hereby grant to Lender access to the Property and an irrevocable license to undertake such inspection or audit. The cost of such inspection or audit shall be included in Costs and shall be paid by Indemnitors in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 4(c) hereof.

 

(d)       If prior to the date hereof, it was determined that the Property contains Lead Based Paint, Borrower had prepared an assessment report describing the

 


location and condition of the Lead Based Paint (a “Lead Based Paint Report”). If at any time hereafter Lead Based Paint is suspected of being present on the Property, Indemnitors agree, at their sole cost and expense and within twenty (20) days thereafter, to cause to be prepared a Lead Based Paint Report prepared by an expert, and in form, scope and substance, acceptable to Lender.

 

(e)       Indemnitors agree that if it has been, or if at any time hereafter it is, determined that the Property contains Lead Based Paint, on or before thirty (30) days following (i) the date hereof, if such determination was made prior to the date hereof or (ii) such determination, if such determination is hereafter made, as applicable, Indemnitors shall, at their sole cost and expense, develop and implement, and thereafter diligently and continuously carry out (or cause to be developed and implemented and thereafter diligently and continually to be carried out), an operations, abatement and maintenance plan for the Lead Based Paint on the Property, which plan shall be prepared by an expert, and be in form, scope and substance, acceptable to Lender (together with any Lead Based Paint Report, the “O&M Plan”). (If an O&M Plan has been prepared prior to the date hereof, Indemnitors agree to diligently and continually carry out (or cause to be carried out) the provisions thereof.) Compliance with the O&M Plan shall require or be deemed to require, without limitation, the proper preparation and maintenance of all records, papers and forms required under the Environmental Laws.

 

 

4.

Indemnification Procedures.

 

(a)       If any action shall be brought against Lender based upon any of the matters for which Lender is indemnified hereunder, Lender shall notify Indemnitors in writing thereof and Indemnitors shall promptly assume the defense thereof, including, without limitation, the employment of counsel acceptable to Lender and the negotiation of any settlement; provided, however, that any failure of Lender to notify Indemnitors of such matter shall not impair or reduce the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder. Lender shall have the right, at the expense of Indemnitors (which expense shall be included in Costs), to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof. In the event Indemnitors shall fail to discharge or undertake to defend Lender against any claim, loss or liability for which Lender is indemnified hereunder, Lender may, at its sole option and election, defend or settle such claim, loss or liability. The liability of Indemnitors to Lender hereunder shall be conclusively established by such settlement, provided such settlement is made in good faith, the amount of such liability to include both the settlement consideration and the costs and expenses, including, without limitation attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by Lender in effecting such settlement. In such event, such settlement consideration, costs and expenses shall be included in Costs and Indemnitors shall pay the same as hereinafter provided. Lender’s good faith in any such settlement shall be conclusively established if the settlement is made on the advice of independent legal counsel for Lender.

 

(b)       Indemnitors shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender: (i) settle or compromise any action, suit, proceeding or claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the

 


claimant or plaintiff to Lender of a full and complete written release of Lender (in form, scope and substance satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion) from all liability in respect of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and a dismissal with prejudice of such action, suit, proceeding or claim; or (ii) settle or compromise any action, suit, proceeding or claim in any manner that may adversely affect Lender or obligate Lender to pay any sum or perform any obligation as determined by Lender in its sole discretion.

 

(c)       All Costs shall be immediately reimbursable to Lender when and as incurred and, in the event of any litigation, claim or other proceedings without any requirement of waiting for the ultimate outcome of such litigation, claim or other proceedings and Indemnitors shall pay to Lender any and all Costs within ten (10) days after written notice from Lender itemizing the amounts thereof incurred to the date of such notice. In addition to any other remedy available for the failure of Indemnitors to periodically pay such Costs, such Costs, if not paid within said ten-day period, shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate (as defined in the Note) and such costs and interest shall be additional indebtedness of Borrower secured by the Deed of Trust and by the other Loan Documents securing all or part of the Loan.

 

5.          Reinstatement of Obligations. If at any time all or any part of any payment made by Indemnitors or received by Lender from Indemnitors under or with respect to this Agreement is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including, but not limited to, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of either Indemnitor), then the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such previous payment made by Indemnitors, or receipt of payment by Lender, and the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment, all as though such previous payment by Indemnitors had never been made,

 

6.         Waivers by Indemnitors. To the extent permitted by law, Indemnitors hereby waive and agree not to assert or take advantage of:

 

(a)       Any right to require Lender to proceed against any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lender at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power or under any other agreement before proceeding against Indemnitors hereunder;

 

(b)       The defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder;

 

(c)       Any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other person or persons or the failure of Lender to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceedings) of any other person or persons;

 

(d)       Demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest and all other notices of any kind, or the lack of any thereof, including,

 


without limiting the generality of the foregoing, notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of Lender, any endorser or creditor of either Indemnitor or any other person whomsoever under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by Lender;

 

 

(e)

Any defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender;

 

(f)        Any right or claim of right to cause a marshalling of the assets of either Indemnitor.

 

(g)       Any principle or provision of law, statutory or otherwise, which is or might be in conflict with the terms and provisions of this Agreement;

 

(h)       Any duty on the part of Lender to disclose to Indemnitors any facts Lender may now or hereafter know about the Property, regardless of whether Lender has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Indemnitors intend to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Indemnitors or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Indemnitors, it being understood and agreed that Indemnitors are fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the condition of the Property and of any and all circumstances bearing on the risk that liability may be incurred by Indemnitors hereunder;

 

(i)         Any lack of notice of disposition or of manner of disposition of any collateral for the Loan;

(k)       Any lack of commercial reasonableness in dealing with the collateral for the Loan;

 

(l)         Any deficiencies in the collateral for the Loan or any deficiency in the ability of Lender to collect or to obtain performance from any persons or entities now or hereafter liable for the payment and performance of any obligation hereby guaranteed;

 

(m)      An assertion or claim that the automatic stay provided by 11 U.S.C. §362 (arising upon the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of Borrower) or any other stay provided under any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any of its rights, whether now or hereafter required, which Lender may have against Principal or the collateral for the Loan;

 


(n)        Any modifications of the Loan Documents or any obligation of Borrower relating to the Loan by operation of law or by action of any court, whether pursuant to the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise;

 

(o)        Any action, occurrence, event or matter consented to by Indemnitors under Paragraph 7(h) hereof, under any other provision hereof, or otherwise; and

 

(p)       Indemnitor hereby waives the benefits of the “one action rule” under NRS 40-430, to the extent permitted in NRS paragraph 40.495(4).

 

 

7.

General Provisions.

 

(a)       Fully Recourse. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement are recourse obligations of Indemnitors and not restricted by any limitation on personal liability.

 

(b)       Unsecured Obligations. Indemnitors hereby acknowledge that Lender’s appraisal of the Property is such that Lender is not willing to accept the consequences of the inclusion of Indemnitors’ indemnity set forth herein among the obligations secured by the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents and that Lender would not make the Loan but for the unsecured personal liability undertaken by Indemnitors herein. Indemnitors further hereby acknowledge that even though the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Indemnitors contained herein may be identical or substantially similar to representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Borrower set forth in the Deed of Trust and secured thereby, the obligations of Indemnitors under this Agreement are not secured by the lien of the Deed of Trust or the security interests or other collateral described in the Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents, it being the intent of Lender to create separate obligations of Indemnitors hereunder which can be enforced against Indemnitors without regard to the existence of the Deed of Trust or other Loan Documents or the liens or security interests created therein.

 

(c)       Survival. This Agreement shall be deemed to be continuing in nature and shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive the payment of the indebtedness evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents and the exercise of any remedy by Lender under the Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, even if, as a part of such remedy, the Loan is paid or satisfied in full.

 

 

(d)

No Subrogation; No Recourse Against Lender.

 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction by Principal of any liability hereunder, Principal shall not have any right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement or indemnity whatsoever

 


or any right of recourse to or with respect to the assets or property of Borrower or to any collateral for the Loan. In connection with the foregoing, Principal expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation to Lender against Borrower,-and Principal hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which Lender may have against Borrower and any right to participate in any collateral for the Loan. In addition to and without in any way limiting the foregoing, Principal hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to Principal to all indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, and agrees with Lender that Principal shall not demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from Borrower, shall not claim any offset or other reduction of Principal’s obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any of the collateral from the Loan. Further, neither Indemnitor shall have any right of recourse against Lender by reason of any action Lender may take or omit to take under the provisions of this Agreement or under the provisions of any of the Loan Documents.

 

(e)       Reservation of Rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent or in any way diminish or interfere with any rights or remedies, including, without limitation, the right to contribution, which Lender may have against either Indemnitor or any other party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (codified at Title 42 U.S.C. §9601 et seq.), as it may be amended from time to time, or any other applicable federal, state or local laws, all such rights being hereby expressly reserved.

 

(f)        Financial Statements. Each Indemnitor hereby agrees, as a material inducement to Lender to make the Loan to Borrower, to furnish to Lender promptly upon demand by Lender current and dated financial statements certified by or on behalf of each Indemnitor detailing the assets and liabilities of said Indemnitor, in form and substance acceptable to Lender. Each Indemnitor hereby warrants and represents unto Lender that any and all balance sheets, net worth statements and other financial data which have heretofore been given or may hereafter be given to Lender with respect to said Indemnitor did or will at the time of such delivery fairly and accurately present the financial condition of said Indemnitor.

 

(g)       Rights Cumulative; Payments. Lender’s rights under this Agreement shall be in addition to all rights of Lender under the Note, the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents. Further, payments made by Indemnitors under this Agreement shall not reduce in any respect Borrower’s obligations and liabilities under the Note, the Deed of Trust and the Other Loan Documents.

 

(h)       No Limitation on Liability. Indemnitors hereby consent and agree that Lender may at any time and from time to time without further consent from Indemnitors do any of the following events, and the liability of Indemnitors under this Agreement shall be unconditional and absolute and shall in no way be impaired or limited by any of the following events, whether occurring with or without notice to Indemnitors or with or without consideration: (i) any extensions of time for performance required by any of the Loan Documents or extension or renewal of the Note; (ii) any sale, assignment

 


or foreclosure of the Note, the Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents or any sale or transfer of the Property; (iii) any change in the composition of Borrower, including, without limitation, the withdrawal or removal of Indemnitors from any current or future position of ownership, management or control of Borrower; (iv) the accuracy or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by Indemnitors herein or by Borrower in any of the Loan Documents; (v) the release of Borrower or of any other person or entity from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or-conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, Lender’s voluntary act or otherwise; (vi) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Loan; (vii) Lender’s failure to record the Deed of Trust or to file any financing statement (or Lender’s improper recording or filing thereof) or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any lien or security interest given as security for the Loan; (viii) the modification of the terms of any one or more of the Loan Documents; or (ix) the taking or failure to take any action of any type whatsoever. No such action which Lender shall take or fail to take in connection with the Loan Documents or any collateral for the Loan, nor any course of dealing with Borrower or any other person, shall limit, impair or release Indemnitors’ obligations hereunder, affect this Agreement in any way or afford Indemnitors any recourse against Lender. Nothing contained in this Paragraph shall be construed to require Lender to take or refrain from taking any action referred to herein.

 

(i)        Entire Agreement: Amendment: Severability. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties respecting the matters herein set forth and supersedes (except as to the Deed of Trust) all prior agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties respecting such matters. Any amendments or modifications hereto, in order to be effective, shall be in writing and executed by the parties hereto. A determination that any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision, and any determination that the application of any provision of this Agreement to any person or circumstance is illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to any other persons or circumstances.

 

(j)        Governing Law; Binding Effect: Waiver of Acceptance. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Property is located, except to the extent that the applicability of any of such laws may now or hereafter be preempted by Federal law, in which case such Federal law shall so govern and be controlling. This Agreement shall bind each Indemnitor and the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of each Indemnitor and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and the officers, directors, shareholders, agents and employees of Lender and their respective heirs, successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnitors shall not assign any of their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld by Lender in its sole discretion. Each Indemnitor hereby waives any acceptance of this Agreement by Lender, and this Agreement shall immediately be binding upon Indemnitors.

 


(k)       Notice. All notices, demands, requests or other communications to be sent by one party to the other hereunder or required by law shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly given or served by delivery of the same in person to the intended addressee, or by depositing the same with Federal Express or another reputable private courier service for next business day delivery to the intended addressee at its address set forth on the first page of this Agreement or at such other address as may be designated by such party as herein provided, or by depositing the same in the United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the intended addressee at its address set forth on the first page of this Agreement or at such other address as may be designated by such party as herein provided.

All notices, demands and requests shall be effective upon such personal delivery, or one-(1) business day after being deposited with the private courier service, or two (2) business days after being deposited in the United States mail as required above. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given as herein required shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice, demand or request sent. By giving to the other party hereto at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof, the parties hereto shall have the right from time to time to change their respective addresses and each shall have the right to specify as its address any other address within the United States of America.

 

(l)        No Waiver: Time of Essence: Business Days. The failure of any party hereto to enforce any right or remedy hereunder, or to promptly enforce any such right or remedy, shall not constitute a waiver thereof nor give rise to any estoppel against such party nor excuse any of the parties hereto from their respective obligations hereunder. Any waiver of such right or remedy must be in writing and signed by the party to be bound. This Agreement is subject to enforcement at law or in equity, including actions for damages or specific performance. Time is of the essence hereof. The term “business day” as used herein shall mean a weekday, Monday through Friday, except a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in Nevada are authorized by law to be closed.

In the event it is necessary for Lender to retain the services of an attorney or any other consultants in order to enforce this Agreement, or any portion thereof, Indemnitors agree to pay to Lender any and all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender as a result thereof and such costs, fees and expenses shall be included in Costs.

 

(o)       Successive Actions. A separate right of action hereunder shall arise each time Lender acquires knowledge of any matter indemnified by Indemnitors under this Agreement. Separate and successive actions may be brought hereunder to enforce

 


any of the provisions hereof at any time and from time to time. No action hereunder shall preclude any subsequent action, and Indemnitors hereby waive and covenant not to assert any defense in the nature of splitting of causes of action or merger of judgments.

 

(p)       Joint and Several Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by Indemnitors herein, and the liability of Indemnitors hereunder, are joint and several.

 

(q)       Reliance. Lender would not make the Loan to Borrower without this Agreement. Accordingly, Indemnitors intentionally and unconditionally enter into the covenants and agreements as set forth above and understand that, in reliance upon and in consideration of such covenants and agreements, the Loan shall be made and, as part and parcel thereof, specific monetary and other obligations have been, are being and shall be entered into which would not be made or entered into but for such reliance.

 

(r)        Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be effective only upon delivery and thereafter shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall be taken to be one and the same instrument, for the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same signature page. Any signature page of this Agreement may be detached from any counterpart of this Agreement without impairing the legal effect of any signatures thereon and may be attached to another counterpart of this Agreement identical in form hereto but having attached to it one or more additional signature pages.

INDEMNITY AND GUARANTY AGREEMENT

 

THIS INDEMNITY AND GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), made as of the 1st day of August, 2001, by SUNWOOD VILLAGE, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Indemnitor”), whose address is c/o SPECS, Inc., Suite LH-06, 4200 Blue Ridge Boulevard, Kansas City, Missouri 64133, in favor of FIRST UNION NATIONAL BANK, a national banking association, whose address is 201 South Tryon Street, Suite 130, PMB Box #4, Charlotte, North Carolina 28202 (“Lender”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, SUNWOOD VILLAGE JOINT VENTURE, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Nevada limited partnership (“Borrower”), has obtained a loan in the principal amount of TEN MILLION EIGHTY THOUSAND AND 001100 DOLLARS ($10,080,000.00) (the “Loan”) from Lender; and

 

WHEREAS, the Loan is evidenced by a Promissory Note dated of even date herewith (the “Note”), executed by Borrower and payable to the order of Lender in the stated principal amount of TEN MILLION EIGHTY THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($10,080,000.00) and is secured by a Deed of Trust and Security Agreement dated of even date herewith (the “Deed of Trust”) from Borrower, as grantor, to Lender, as beneficiary, encumbering that certain real property situated in the City of Las Vegas, County of Clark, State of Nevada, as more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, together with the buildings, structures and other improvements now or hereafter located thereon (said real property, buildings, structures and other improvements being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Property”) and by other documents and instruments (the Note, the Deed of Trust and such other documents and instruments, as the same may from time to time be amended, consolidated, renewed or replaced, being collectively referred to herein as the “Loan Documents”) and

 

WHEREAS, as a condition to making the Loan to Borrower, Lender has required that Indemnitor indemnify Lender from and against and guarantee payment to Lender of those items for which Borrower is personally liable and for which Lender has recourse against Borrower under the terms of the Note and the Deed of Trust; and

 

WHEREAS, the extension of the Loan to Borrower is of substantial benefit to Indemnitor and, therefore, Indemnitor desires to indemnify Lender from and against and guarantee payment to Lender of those items for which Borrower is personally liable and for which Lender has recourse against Borrower under the terms of the Note and the Deed of Trust.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, to induce Lender to extend the Loan to Borrower and in consideration of the foregoing premises and for other good and valuable

 


consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Indemnitor hereby covenants and agrees for the benefit of Lender, as follows:

 

1.     Indemnity and Guaranty. Indemnitor hereby assumes liability for, hereby guarantees payment to Lender of, hereby agrees to pay, protect, defend and save Lender harmless from and against, and hereby indemnifies Lender from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees), causes of action, suits, claims, demands and judgments of any nature or description whatsoever (collectively, “Costs”) which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or awarded against Lender as a result of:

 

(a)        Proceeds paid under any insurance policies (or paid as a result of any other claim or cause of action against any person or entity) by reason of damage, loss or destruction to all or any portion of the Property, to the full extent of such proceeds not previously delivered to Lender, but which, under the terms of the Loan Documents, should have been delivered to Lender;

 

(b)       Proceeds or awards resulting from the condemnation or other taking in lieu of condemnation of all or any portion of the Property, to the full extent of such proceeds or awards not previously delivered to Lender, but which, under the terms of the Loan Documents, should have been delivered to Lender;

 

(c)       All tenant security deposits or other refundable deposits paid to or held by Borrower or any other person or entity in connection with leases of all or any portion of the Security Property which are not applied in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease or other agreement;

 

(d)       Rent and other payments received from tenants under leases of all or any portion of the Property paid more than one month in advance;

 

(e)       Rents, issues, profits and revenues of all or any portion of the Security Property received or applicable to a period after the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Deed of Trust) or any event which with notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, which are not either applied to the ordinary and necessary expenses of owning and operating the Property or paid to Lender;

 

(f)       Waste committed on the Property by, or damage to the Property as a result of the intentional misconduct or gross negligence of, Borrower or any of its principals, officers, general partners or members or any agent or employee of such persons, or any removal of the Property in violation of the terms of the Loan Documents, to the full extent of the losses or damages incurred by Lender on account of such occurrence;

 


(g)       Failure by Borrower to pay any valid taxes, assessments, mechanic’s liens, materialmen’s liens or other liens which could create liens on any portion of the Property which would be superior to the lien or security title of the Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents, except, with respect to any such taxes or assessments, to the extent that funds have been deposited with Lender pursuant to the terms of the Deed of Trust specifically for the applicable taxes or assessments and not applied by Lender to pay such taxes;

 

(h)       All obligations and indemnities of Borrower under the Loan Documents relating to hazardous or toxic substances or compliance with environmental laws and regulations to the full extent of any losses or damages (including those resulting from diminution in value of any Property) incurred by Lender as a result of the existence of such hazardous or toxic substances or failure to comply with environmental laws or regulations; and

 

(i)        Fraud or material misrepresentation or failure to disclose a material fact by Borrower or any of its principals, officers, general partners or members, any guarantor, any indemnitor or any agent, employee or other person authorized or apparently authorized to make statements, representations or disclosures on behalf of Borrower, any principal, officer, partner or members, of Borrower, or any guarantor or any indemnitor, to the full extent of any losses, damages and expenses of Lender on account thereof.

 

This is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. The liability of Indemnitor under this Agreement shall be direct and immediate and not conditional or contingent upon the pursuit of any remedies against Borrower or any other person (including, without limitation, other guarantors, if any), nor against the collateral for the Loan. Indemnitor waives any right to require that an action be brought against Borrower or any other person or to require that resort be had to any collateral for the Loan or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Lender in favor of Borrower or any other person. In the event, on account of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, Borrower shall be relieved of or fail to incur any debt, obligation or liability as provided in the Loan Documents, Indemnitor shall nevertheless be fully liable therefor. In the event of a default under the Loan Documents which is not cured within any applicable grace or cure period, Lender shall have the right to enforce its rights, powers and remedies (including, without limitation, foreclosure of all or any portion of the collateral for the Loan) thereunder or hereunder, in any order, and all rights, powers and remedies available to Lender in such event shall be non-exclusive and cumulative of all other rights, powers and remedies provided thereunder or hereunder or by law or in equity. If the indebtedness and obligations guaranteed hereby are partially paid or discharged by reason of the exercise of any of the remedies available to Lender, this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and Indemnitor shall remain liable

 


for all remaining indebtedness and obligations guaranteed hereby, even though any rights which Indemnitor may have against Borrower may be destroyed or diminished by the exercise of any such remedy.

 

 

2.

Indemnification Procedures.

 

(a)       If any action shall be brought against Lender based upon any of the matters for which Lender is indemnified hereunder, Lender shall notify Indemnitor in writing thereof and Indemnitor shall promptly assume the defense thereof, including, without limitation, the employment of counsel acceptable to Lender and the negotiation of any settlement; provided, however, that any failure of Lender to notify Indemnitor of such matter shall not impair or reduce the obligations of Indemnitor hereunder. Lender shall have the right, at the expense of Indemnitor (which expense shall be included in Costs), to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof. In the event Indemnitor shall fail to discharge or undertake to defend Lender against any claim, loss or liability for which Lender is indemnified hereunder, Lender may, at its sole option and election, defend or settle such claim, loss or liability. The liability of Indemnitor to Lender hereunder shall be conclusively established by such settlement, provided such settlement is made in good faith, the amount of such liability to include both the settlement consideration and the costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by Lender in effecting such settlement. In such event, such settlement consideration, costs and expenses shall be included in Costs and Indemnitor shall pay the same as hereinafter provided. Lender’s good faith in any such settlement shall be conclusively established if the settlement is made on the advice of independent legal counsel for Lender.

 

(b)       Indemnitor shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender: (i) settle or compromise any action, suit, proceeding or claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to Lender of a full and complete written release of Lender (in form, scope and substance satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion) from all liability in respect of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and a dismissal with prejudice of such action, suit, proceeding or claim; or (ii) settle or compromise any action, suit, proceeding or claim in any manner that may adversely affect Lender or obligate Lender to pay any sum or perform any obligation as determined by Lender in its sole discretion.

 

(c)       All Costs shall be immediately reimbursable to Lender when and as incurred and, in the event of any litigation, claim or other proceeding, without any requirement of waiting for the ultimate outcome of such litigation, claim or other proceeding, and Indemnitor shall pay to Lender any and all Costs within ten (10) days after written notice from Lender itemizing the amounts thereof incurred to the date of such notice. In addition to any other remedy available for the failure of Indemnitor to

 


periodically pay such Costs, such Costs, if not paid within said ten-day period, shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate (as defined in the Note).

 

3.        Reinstatement of Obligations. If at any time all or any part of any payment made by Indemnitor or received by Lender from Indemnitor under or with respect to this Agreement is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including, but not limited to, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Indemnitor or Borrower), then the obligations of Indemnitor hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such previous payment made by Indemnitor, or receipt of payment by Lender, and the obligations of Indemnitor hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment, all as though such previous payment by Indemnitor had never been made.

 

4.        Waivers by Indemnitor. To the extent permitted by law, Indemnitor hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of:

 

(a)       Any right to require Lender to proceed against Borrower or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lender at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power or under any other agreement before proceeding against Indemnitor hereunder;

 

(b)       The defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder;

 

(c)       Any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other person or persons or the failure of Lender to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other person or persons;

 

(d)       Demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, intent to accelerate, acceleration, protest, notice of protest and all other notices of any kind, or the lack of any thereof, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or nonaction on the part of Borrower, Lender, any endorser or creditor of Borrower or of Indemnitor or on the part of any other person whomsoever under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by Lender;

 

(e)       Any defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender;

 

(f)       Any right or claim or right to cause a marshalling of the assets of Indemnitor;

 

(g)       Any principle or provision of law, statutory or otherwise, which is or might be in conflict with the terms and provisions of this Agreement;

 


(h)       Any duty on the part of Lender to disclose to Indemnitor any facts Lender may now or hereafter know about Borrower or the Property, regardless of whether Lender has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Indemnitor intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Indemnitor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Indemnitor, it being understood and agreed that Indemnitor is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrower, of the condition of the Property and of any and all circumstances bearing on the risk that liability may be incurred by Indemnitor hereunder;

 

(i)         Any lack of notice of disposition or of manner of disposition of any collateral for the Loan;

 

(j)        Any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any one or more of the Loan Documents;

 

(k)      Any lack of commercial reasonableness in dealing with the collateral for the Loan;

 

(l)        Any deficiencies in the collateral for the Loan or any deficiency in the ability of Lender to collect or to obtain performance from any persons or entities now or hereafter liable for the payment and performance of any obligation hereby guaranteed;

 

(m)      Any assertion or claim that the automatic stay provided by 11 U.S.C. §362 (arising upon the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of Borrower) or any other stay provided under any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any of its rights, whether now or hereafter required, which Lender may have against Indemnitor or the collateral for the Loan;

 

(n)       Any modifications of the Loan Documents or any obligation of Borrower relating to the Loan by operation of law or by action of any court, whether pursuant to the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise;

 

(o)       Any action, occurrence, event or matter consented to by Indemnitor under Section 5(h) hereof, under any other provision hereof, or otherwise; and

 


(p)       Indemnitor hereby waives the benefits of the “one action rule” under NRS 40-430, to the extent permitted in NRS paragraph 40.495(4).

 

 

5.

General Provisions.

 

(a)       Fully Recourse. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement are recourse obligations of Indemnitor and not restricted by any limitation on personal liability.

 

(b)       Unsecured Obligations. Indemnitor hereby acknowledges that Lender’s appraisal of the Property is such that Lender is not willing to accept the consequences of the inclusion of Indemnitor’s indemnity set forth herein among the obligations secured by the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents and that Lender would not make the Loan but for the unsecured personal liability undertaken by Indemnitor herein.

 

(c)       Survival. This Agreement shall be deemed to be continuing in nature and shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive the exercise of any remedy by Lender under the Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, even if, as a part of such remedy, the Loan is paid or satisfied in full.

 

(d)       No Subrogation; No Recourse Against Lender. Notwithstanding the satisfaction by Indemnitor of any liability hereunder, Indemnitor shall not have any right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement or indemnity whatsoever or any right of recourse to or with respect to the assets or property of Borrower or to any collateral for the Loan. In connection with the foregoing, Indemnitor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation to Lender against Borrower, and Indemnitor hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which Lender may have against Borrower and any right to participate in any collateral for the Loan. In addition to and without in any way limiting the foregoing, Indemnitor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to Indemnitor to all indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, and agrees with Lender that Indemnitor shall not demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from Borrower, shall not claim any offset or other reduction of Indemnitor’s obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any of the collateral from the Loan. Further, Indemnitor shall not have any right of recourse against Lender by reason of any action Lender may take or omit to take under the provisions of this Agreement or under the provisions of any of the Loan Documents.

 

(e)       Reservation of Rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent or in any way diminish or interfere with any rights or remedies, including, without limitation, the right to contribution, which Lender may have against Borrower, Indemnitor or any other party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (codified at Title

 


42 U.S.C. §9601 et seq.), as it may be amended from time to time, or any other applicable federal, state or local laws, all such rights being hereby expressly reserved.

 

(f)        Financial Statements; Net Worth. Indemnitor hereby agrees, as a material inducement to Lender to make the Loan to Borrower, to furnish to Lender promptly upon demand by Lender current and dated financial statements detailing the assets and liabilities of Indemnitor certified by Indemnitor, in form and substance acceptable to Lender. Indemnitor hereby agrees that at all times during the term of the Loan it shall maintain a minimum net worth of no less than that which is set forth in the financials delivered to Lender prior to the date hereof. The failure by Indemnitor to maintain such net worth shall be deemed an “Event of Default” under the Loan Documents entitling Lender to exercise any and all of its remedies thereunder. Indemnitor hereby warrants and represents unto Lender that any and all balance sheets, net worth statements and other financial data which have heretofore been given or may hereafter be given to Lender with respect to Indemnitor did or will at the time of such delivery fairly and accurately present the financial condition of Indemnitor.

 

(g)       Rights Cumulative; Payments. Lender’s rights under this Agreement shall be in addition to all rights of Lender under the Note, the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents. Further, payments made by Indemnitor, under this Agreement shall not reduce in any respect Borrower’s obligations and liabilities under the Note, the Deed of Trust and the Other Loan Documents.

 

(h)       No Limitation on Liability. Indemnitor hereby consents and agrees that Lender may at any time and from time to time without further consent from Indemnitor do any of the following events, and the liability of Indemnitor under this Agreement shall be unconditional and absolute and shall in no way be impaired or limited by any of the following events, whether occurring with or without notice to Indemnitor or with or without consideration: (i) any extensions of time for performance required by any of the Loan Documents or extension or renewal of the Note; (ii) any sale, assignment or foreclosure of the Note, the Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents or any sale or transfer of the Property; (iii) any change in the composition of Borrower, including, without limitation, the withdrawal or removal of Indemnitor from any current or future position of ownership, management or control of Borrower; (iv) the accuracy or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by Indemnitor herein or by Borrower in any of the Loan Documents; (v) the release of Borrower or of any other person or entity from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, Lender’s voluntary act or otherwise; (vi) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Loan; (vii) Lender’s failure to record the Deed of Trust or to file any financing statement (or Lender’s improper recording or filing thereof) or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any lien or security interest given as security for the Loan; (viii) the modification of the terms of any one or more of the Loan Documents; or (ix) the

 


taking or failure to take any action of any type whatsoever. No such action which Lender shall take or fail to take in connection with the Loan Documents or any collateral for the Loan, nor any course of dealing with Borrower or any other person, shall limit, impair or release Indemnitor’s obligations hereunder, affect this Agreement in any way or afford Indemnitor any recourse against Lender. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to require Lender to take or refrain from taking any action referred to herein.

 

(i)        Entire Agreement; Amendment: Severability. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties respecting the matters herein set forth and supersedes all prior agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties respecting such matters. Any amendments or modifications hereto, in order to be effective, shall be in writing and executed by the parties hereto. A determination that any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision, and any determination that the application of any provision of this Agreement to any person or circumstance is illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to any other persons or circumstances.

 

(j)        Governing Law; Binding Effect: Waiver of Acceptance. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Property is located, except to the extent that the applicability of any of such laws may now or hereafter be preempted by Federal law, in which case such Federal law shall so govern and be controlling. This Agreement shall bind Indemnitor and the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of Indemnitor and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and the officers, directors, shareholders, agents and employees of Lender and their respective heirs, successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnitor shall not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld by Lender in its sole discretion. Indemnitor hereby waives any acceptance of this Agreement by Lender, and this Agreement shall immediately be binding upon Indemnitor.

 

(k)        Notices. All notices, demands, requests or other communications to be sent by one party to the other hereunder or required by law shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly given or served by delivery of the same in person to the intended addressee, or by depositing the same with Federal Express or another reputable private courier service for next business day delivery to the intended addressee at its address set forth on the first page of this Agreement or at such other address as may be designated by such party as herein provided, or by depositing the same in the United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the intended addressee at its address set forth on the first page of this Agreement or at such other address as may be designated by such party as herein provided. All notices, demands and requests to be sent to Lender shall be addressed to the attention of the Capital

 


Markets Group. All notices, demands and requests shall be effective upon such personal delivery, or one (1) business day after being deposited with the private courier service, or two (2) business days after being deposited in the United States mail as required above. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given as herein required shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice, demand or request sent. By giving to the other party hereto at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof, the parties hereto shall have the right from time to time to change their respective addresses and each shall have the right to specify as its address any other address within the United States of America.

 

(1)        No Waiver: Time of Essence: Business Day. The failure of any party hereto to enforce any right or remedy hereunder, or to promptly enforce any such right or remedy, shall not constitute a waiver thereof nor give rise to any estoppel against such party nor excuse any of the parties hereto from their respective obligations hereunder. Any waiver of such right or remedy must be in writing and signed by the party to be bound. This Agreement is subject to enforcement at law or in equity, including actions for damages or specific performance. Time is of the essence hereof. The term “business day” as used herein shall mean a weekday, Monday through Friday, except a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in Nevada are authorized by law to be closed.

 

(m)      Cautions for Convenience. The captions and headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be construed in interpreting the provisions hereof.

 

(n)       Attorneys’ Fees. In the event it is necessary for Lender to retain the services of an attorney or any other consultants in order to enforce this Agreement, or any portion thereof, Indemnitor agrees to pay to Lender any and all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender as a result thereof and such costs, fees and expenses shall be included in Costs.

 

(o)       Successive Actions. A separate right of action hereunder shall arise each time Lender acquires knowledge of any matter indemnified or guaranteed by Indemnitor under this Agreement. Separate and successive actions may be brought hereunder to enforce any of the provisions hereof at any time and from time to time. No action hereunder shall preclude any subsequent action, and Indemnitor hereby waives and covenants not to assert any defense in the nature of splitting of causes of action or merger of judgments.

 

(p)        Reliance. Lender would not make the Loan to Borrower without this Agreement. Accordingly, Indemnitor intentionally and unconditionally enters into the covenants and agreements as set forth above and understands that, in reliance upon and in consideration of such covenants and agreements, the Loan shall be made and, as part and parcel thereof, specific monetary and other obligations have

 


been, are being and shall be entered into which would not be made or entered into but for such reliance.

 

(q)      SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION: WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

 

(1)       INDEMNITOR, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL, (A) SUBMITS TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THE STATE IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED OVER ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY ANY PERSON ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, (B) AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION OVER THE COUNTY, IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED, (C) SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, AND, (D) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INDEMNITOR AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT BRING ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER FORUM (BUT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF LENDER TO BRING ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER FORUM).

ARTICLE 9.         COMPENSATION

 

9.1        Management Compensation. Manager shall receive, for its services in managing the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, a monthly management fee (the “Management Fee”) equal to three and one-half percent (3.5%) of Gross Revenues (defined below). “Gross Revenues” shall mean all gross rental receipts from the operations of the Property, including without limitation proceeds from rent insurance, security deposits when and to the extent credited to rent, vending machine revenue and any net proceeds from the sale of tenant property to the extent credited to rent, and excluding only (a) security deposits received from tenants and interest accrued thereon for the benefit of the tenant until such deposits or interest are applied to rent, (b) advance rents until the mouth in which payments are to apply as rental income, (c) reimbursements by tenants for work done for that particular tenant, (d) proceeds from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Property, (e) insurance proceeds received by the Owner as a result of any insured loss (except proceeds from rent insurance), (f) condemnation proceeds, (g) proceeds from capital and financing transactions, (h) income derived from interest on investments or otherwise, (i) tax refunds or abatement of taxes, (j) discounts and dividends on insurance policies, and (k) the value of rental or promotional concessions, even if revenue is recorded for the value thereof in the accounting records for the Property.

If a new source of revenue attributable to the Property arises after the date hereof, Manager and Owner will determine to what extent such revenue shall be included in Gross Revenues. The Management Fee shall be payable monthly following calculation thereof upon submission of a monthly statement from the Operating Account or from other funds timely provided by Owner. Upon termination of this Agreement, the parties will prorate the Management Fee on a daily basis to the effective date of such cancellation or termination.

 

ARTICLE 10. TERMINATION

 

10.1    Termination Upon Default. Each of the following occurrences shall constitute a “Default” by Manager: (a) Manager ceases to do business; (b) loss or forfeiture of Manager’s real estate brokerage license, if such license is legally required as a condition to manage or lease the Property, and Manager’s failure to recover said license (or to obtain temporary permission to manage the Property pending disposition of any reinstatement) within ten (10) business days after delivery of written notice to Manager of such loss or forfeiture; (c) any embezzlement or misappropriation of funds by or with the knowledge of any officer, director or member of Manager or any affiliate of Manager; (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency or assignment for the benefit of the creditors of Manager initiated (1) by Manager or (2) by creditors of Manager and not stayed or dismissed within thirty (30) days; and (e) any breach by Manager of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

 


In the event of a Default described in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d), Owner may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to Manager. In the event of a Default described in clause (d), this Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the first to occur of the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy, the date of insolvency of Manager or the date of any assignment for the benefit of creditors of Manager. In the event of a Default described in clause (e), Owner shall notify Manager that this Agreement shall terminate if such Default is not cured within fifteen (15) days of such notice and shall describe the Default in such notice sufficiently for Manager to identify and cure the Default. If cure of such Default requires more than fifteen (15) days and Manager has commenced and thereafter diligently continues its efforts to cure such breach, then such fifteen-day period shall be extended for the reasonable amount of time needed to complete such efforts. If Manager fails to cure such breach within the required period, this Agreement shall terminate at the end of such period. Failure of Owner to give notice to Manager for Manager’s Default hereunder shall not constitute a waiver by Owner of its rights and remedies against Manager.

 

10.2     Termination Without Default. Owner shall also have the right to terminate this Agreement in the absence of Default at any time upon not less than thirty (30) days written notice to Manager.

 

10.3     Termination by Manager. Manager shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days written notice to Owner. Manager shall also have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice to Owner for non-payment of fees and expenses due Manager under the terms of this Agreement

 

10.4     Final Accounting. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Owner shall pay Manager an amount equal to the Management Fee due Manager, prorated to the date of termination, less any amounts which may be due Owner from Manager; and Manager shall deliver to Owner the following: (a) a final accounting, setting forth the balance of income and expenses on the Property as of the date of termination, delivered within thirty (30) days after termination; (b) any balance or monies of Owner or tenant security deposits held by Manager with respect to the Property, delivered immediately upon termination; and (c) all materials and supplies, keys, books and records, contracts, leases, receipts for deposits, unpaid bills and other papers or documents which pertain to the Property, delivered within fifteen (15) days after termination.

 

For a period of sixty (60) days after such expiration or cancellation, Manager shall be available, through its senior executives familiar with the Property, to consult with and advise Owner or any person or entity succeeding to Owner as owner of the Property or such other person or persons selected by Owner regarding the operation and maintenance of the Property. In addition, Manager shall cooperate with Owner in notifying all tenants of the Property of the expiration and termination of this Agreement, and shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Owner to accomplish an orderly transfer of the operation and management of the Property to a party designated by Owner. Manager shall, at its cost and expense, promptly remove all signs wherever located indicating that

 


it is the manager and replace and repair any damage resulting therefrom. Termination of this Agreement shall not release either party from liability for failure to perform any of the duties or obligations as expressed herein and required to be performed by such party for the period prior to the termination.

 

Provisions of this Agreement that by their nature require a party to perform an obligation after termination in order to fulfill such obligation with respect to the period prior to termination shall survive the termination of this Agreement until fully performed.

Owner owns the apartment building commonly known as Sunwood Village, located at 4020 S. Arville, Las Vegas, Nevada (the "Property"). Owner desires to engage Manager, and Manager desires to accept such engagement, to manage, lease, operate, and maintain the Property on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

 

THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE 1. COMMENCEMENT AND TERM

 

1.1       Commencement and Term. Subject to Bankruptcy Court approval in Case No. BK-S-06-12643, Manager's duties and responsibilities under this Agreement shall begin on the date hereof (the "Start Date") and shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the conveyance of the Property or any portion thereof, as to such conveyed portion thereof only, or (ii) termination as provided in Article 10.

 

ARTICLE 2. MANAGER'S RESPONSIBILITIES

 

2.1       Management. Manager shall manage, operate and maintain the Property in an efficient and economic manner and shall arrange the performance of everything reasonably necessary to accomplish the foregoing, subject to the budgets, policies and limitations provided to Manager in writing by Owner from time to time. Manager shall keep the Property clean and in good repair, shall promptly order and supervise the completion of such repairs as may be required and shall generally do and perform, or cause to be done or performed, all things necessary or desirable to ensure the proper and efficient management, operation, and maintenance of the Property. Manager shall perform all services in a diligent and professional manner. Additionally, Manager shall upon Owner's request cooperate with any proposed purchaser of the Property, any proposed lender evaluating the Property as collateral or any broker named by Owner in connection with a sale or financing of the Property. Manager is hereby authorized to take any action with respect to the Property which Manager believes in good faith is necessary for Manager to comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to Manager, as a licensed real estate broker or otherwise, and, when possible, Manager agrees to provide advance notice to and consult with Owner about any such action that has not been previously authorized. Manager shall exercise reasonable efforts to comply with all directions or instructions from Owner pertaining to the Property.

 


2.2 Employees: Independent Contractor. All arrangements and agreements with employees or independent contractors working at the Property shall confirm that Owner has no obligation or relationship with respect to such employees or independent contractors.

Manager shall obtain coverage of all employees who handle funds of Owner by fidelity bond or under a comprehensive crime insurance policy, each in amounts required by Owner and indemnifying Owner against loss, theft, embezzlement, or other fraudulent acts of Manager or its employees. Manager shall employ, directly or through third party contractors (e.g., an employee leasing company) all labor and employees required for the operation and maintenance of the property, it being agreed that all employees shall be deemed employees of Manager and not Owner. Owner's insurance policies required hereunder shall not cover and the Owner shall not be liable for any wrong doing by Manager's employees, any claims, costs, damages and liabilities, including but not limited to the defense of any claim or lawsuit arising out of the employment of any of the Manager's employees. All approved costs and expenses associated with such employees (including, without limitation, wages and benefits) shall be costs of, billed to, and reimbursed by the Property.

 

2.3      Compliance with Laws. Manager shall comply with all governmental requirements relative to the performance of its duties hereunder and shall use diligent efforts to cause the Property to comply with all applicable governmental requirements.

 

(a)       Owner represents that it has no knowledge of any violations existing at or prior to the Start Date of any ordinances, laws, rules, regulations or orders (including, but not limited to, those relating to the disposal of solid, liquid and gaseous wastes or materials) of any city, county, state or federal government, or any public authority or official thereof, or of any court, having jurisdiction over it.

 

(b)       Manager shall not have any responsibility or liability for violations existing at or prior to the Start Date of any ordinances, laws, rules, regulations or orders (including, but not limited to, those relating to the disposal of solid, liquid and gaseous wastes or materials) of any city, county, state or federal government, or any public authority or official thereof, or of any court, having jurisdiction over it, except to: (i) notify Owner promptly of any existing violations actually discovered by Manager: (ii) forward to Owner promptly any complaints, warning, notices or summonses received by it relating to such matters; and (iii) use diligent efforts to cooperate with Owner, at Owner's expense, to cure any such existing violations.

public authority or official thereof, or of any court, having jurisdiction over it on a going forward basis.

2.4      Approved Budget. (a) An initial annual capital and operating budget on a monthly basis for the projected revenue and the promotion, operation, staffing, repair, maintenance and improvement of the Property is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

It is the intent of the parties that an indemnification obligation shall arise (if at all) only to the extent that insurance is unavailable or inadequate to satisfy a Claim. Manager shall have no obligation under this Section 14.9 to the extent a Claim: (a) is covered under Section 14.10 or other indemnification of Manager by Owner under this Agreement; or (b) arises on account of mold at the Property, unless such mold arises, or the condition of mold is exacerbated, as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Manager.

It is the intent of the parties that an indemnification obligation shall arise (if at all) only to the extent that insurance is unavailable or inadequate to satisfy a Claim. Owner shall have no obligation under this Section 14.10 to the extent: (a) a Claim is covered under Section 14.9 or other indemnification of Owner by Manager under this Agreement; and/or (b) a Claim arises on account of mold at the Property resulting from Manager's gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any person or entity makes a Claim or institutes a suit against Manager on a matter for which Manager claims the benefit of the foregoing indemnification, then (1) Manager shall give Owner notice thereof in writing promptly and if possible in sufficient time for Owner to meet any applicable deadlines for responding; (2) Owner may defend such Claim or action by counsel of its own choosing provided such counsel is reasonably satisfactory to Manager; and (3) neither Manager nor Owner shall settle any Claim without the other's written consent. This Section shall not be construed so as to release Manager from or indemnify Manager for any liability for a breach by Manager of any of the terms of this Agreement.

14.14   No Waiver. The failure by either party to insist upon the strict performance of or to seek remedy of any one of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any right, remedy, or election set forth herein or permitted by law shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of such term, condition, right, remedy or election, but such item shall continue and remain in full force and effect. All rights or remedies of either party specified in this Agreement and all other rights or remedies that either party may have at law, in equity or otherwise shall be distinct, separate and cumulative rights or remedies, and no one of them, whether exercised or not, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any other right or remedy.
