Borrower hereby pledges to Lender any and all monies now or hereafter held by Lender, including, without limitation, any sums deposited in the Escrow Fund (as defined in Section 3.4), the Deferred Maintenance Deposit (as defined on Exhibit “B”) attached hereto and made a part hereof), the Reserve (as defined on Exhibit “B”), Net Proceeds (as defined in Section 4.3), the Lock-Box Account (as defined in Section 4.4) and condemnation awards or payments described in Section 3.5 (collectively, “Deposits”), as additional security for the Obligations until expended or applied as provided in this Security Instrument.

(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 $25,000.00; 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) $3,000,000.00 and a general aggregate limit of not less than $4,000,000.00; or (2) if any of the Improvements contain elevators, a combined single limit of not less than $5,000,000.00 and a general aggregate limit of $6,000,000.00; (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

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.

RESERVES.

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.

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.

Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note at the Applicable Interest Rate (as defined in the Note), which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Subsection 3.2(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower; (F) Lender shall be satisfied that following the completion of the Restoration, the ratio of sustainable net cash flow for the Property (after deduction for underwritten reserves) to debt service payable under the Note shall be at least 1.25 to 1.0 (G) Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) twelve (12) months prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note), (2) twelve (12) months after the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, (3) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases which are required in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.3(b) to remain in effect subsequent to the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, and the completion of the Restoration or (4) such time as may be required under any applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules or regulations in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such taking, as applicable; (H) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations; (I) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations; and (J) such fire or other casualty or taking, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements.

 

(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 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.

 

(b)       Upon receipt of notice from Lender as set forth in Subsection (a) above, Borrower shall enter into and shall cause Manager to enter into a lock-box agreement with Lender in a form reasonably satisfactory to Lender, which form shall substantially reflect the provisions of this Section (provided, however, that Borrower’s obligations under this Section 4.4 (including Borrower’s obligation to cause Manager to deposit Rents in the Lock-Box Account in accordance with Section 4.4(a) above) shall not be dependent upon the execution of any such lock box agreement. 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.

attorneys shall have the right to examine and audit the books and records of Borrower and its affiliates or of any Guarantor or Indemnitor pertaining to the income, expenses and operation of the Property during reasonable business hours at any office of Borrower, its affiliates or any Guarantor or Indemnitor where the books and records are located. This Section 10.6 shall apply throughout the term of the Note and without regard to whether an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.

 

 

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.

(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.

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.

This Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property.

The provisions of Sections 11.2 and 11.3 are exceptions to any non-recourse or exculpation provisions in the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, and Borrower, Guarantor and Indemnitor are fully and personally liable for the obligations pursuant to Sections 11.2 and 11.3. The liability of Borrower, Guarantor and Indemnitor are not limited to the original principal amount of the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall inhibit or prevent Lender from foreclosing pursuant to this Security Instrument or exercising any other rights and remedies pursuant to the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, whether simultaneously with foreclosure proceedings or in any other sequence. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Borrower, whether or not action is brought against any other person or entity or whether or not any other person or entity is joined in the action or actions.

(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.

 

20.6     FURTHER NOTICE REGARDING INSURANCE. The following notice is provided pursuant to Section 427.120, R.S.Mo. As used in this Section 20.6, the terms “you” and “your” shall refer to Borrower, and the terms “we” and “us” shall refer to Lender: UNLESS YOU PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIRED BY YOUR AGREEMENT WITH US, WE MAY PURCHASE INSURANCE AT YOUR EXPENSE TO PROTECT OUR INTERESTS IN YOUR COLLATERAL.

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) “Deferred Maintenance Deposit” means the Deferred Maintenance Deposit set forth in the Reserve Letter, if any.
