If, under or from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any of the Loan Documents or the security documents at the time of performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of such validity prescribed by applicable law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limits of such validity, and if under or from circumstances whatsoever Mortgagee should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance evidenced hereby and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision of all agreements between Mortgagor and Mortgagee.

BACKGROUND

A.           The Borrower and the Guarantor have executed and delivered to the Bank (or a predecessor which is now known by the Bank’s name as set forth above), one or more promissory notes, letter agreements, loan agreements, security agreements, mortgages, pledge agreements, collateral assignments, and other agreements, instruments, certificates and documents, some or all of which are more fully described on attached Exhibit A, which is made a part of this Amendment (collectively as amended from time to time, the “Loan Documents”) which evidence or secure some or all of the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank for one or more loans or other extensions of credit (the “Obligations”).

B.           The Borrower, the Guarantor and the Bank desire to amend the Loan Documents as provided for in this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.           Certain of the Loan Documents are amended as set forth in Exhibit A.  Any and all references to any Loan Document in any other Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such Loan Document as amended by this Amendment.  This Amendment is deemed incorporated into each of the Loan Documents. Any initially capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition shall have the meanings assigned to those terms in the Loan Documents.  To the extent that any term or provision of this Amendment is or may be inconsistent with any term or provision in any Loan Document, the terms and provisions of this Amendment shall control.

2.           The Borrower and the Guarantor hereby certify that: (a) all of their representations and warranties in the Loan Documents, as amended by this Amendment, are, except as may otherwise be stated in this Amendment: (i) true and correct as of the date of this Amendment, (ii) ratified and confirmed without condition as if made anew, and (iii) incorporated into this Amendment by reference, (b) no Event of Default or event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, exists under any Loan Document which will not be cured by the execution and effectiveness of this Amendment, (c) no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration or filing with, any third party is required in connection with the execution, delivery and carrying out of this Amendment or, if required, has been obtained, and (d) this Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered so that it constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms.  The Borrower confirms that the Obligations remain outstanding without defense, set off, counterclaim, discount or charge of any kind as of the date of this Amendment.

3.           The Borrower and the Guarantor hereby confirm that any collateral for the Obligations, including liens, security interests, mortgages, and pledges granted by the Borrower or third parties (if applicable), shall continue unimpaired and in full force and effect, and shall cover and secure all of the Borrower’s existing and future Obligations to the Bank, as modified by this Amendment.
 
 
 

 
 
4.           As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the Borrower and the Guarantor shall comply with the terms and conditions (if any) specified in Exhibit A.

5.           To induce the Bank to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower and the Guarantor waive and release and forever discharge the Bank and its officers, directors, attorneys, agents, and employees from any liability, damage, claim, loss or expense of any kind that it may have against the Bank or any of them arising out of or relating to the Obligations.  The Borrower and the Guarantor further agree to indemnify and hold the Bank and its officers, directors, attorneys, agents and employees harmless from any loss, damage, judgment, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) suffered by or rendered against the Bank or any of them on account of any claims arising out of or relating to the Obligations.  The Borrower and the Guarantor further state that he or it has carefully read the foregoing release and indemnity, knows the contents thereof and grants the same as its own free act and deed.

6.           This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterpart copies and by the parties to this Amendment on separate counterparts, but all such copies shall constitute one and the same instrument.   Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.  Any party so executing this Amendment by facsimile transmission shall promptly deliver a manually executed counterpart, provided that any failure to do so shall not affect the validity of the counterpart executed by facsimile transmission.

7.           This Amendment will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Bank and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

Amended and Restated Mortgage Note

$10,000,000.00  
 
September 17, 2010 (effective as of
September 17, 2010)

 
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ACADIA – P/A LIBERTY LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), with an address at c/o Acadia Realty Trust, 1311 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 260, White Plains, New York 10605, promises to pay to the order of PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the “Bank”), in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at its offices located at Two Tower Center Boulevard, 18th Floor, East Brunswick, New Jersey 08816, or at such other location as the Bank may designate from time to time, the principal sum of TEN MILLION AND 00/100 ($10,000,000.00) DOLLARS (the “Loan” or the “Facility”), together with interest accruing from the date of initial advance on the outstanding principal balance hereof, as provided below:

1.           Maturity Date and Extension Option.  

(a)           The “Maturity Date” shall mean September 1, 2011; provided, however, in the event that the Borrower exercises the Extension Option (as such term is defined in Paragraph 1(b) below), the “Maturity Date” shall mean September 1, 2012.  The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in no event will the Bank be under any obligation to extend or renew the Facility or this Note beyond the Maturity Date, except as expressly set forth herein.  No further advances shall be made hereunder.

(b)           Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall have the option (the “Extension Option”) to extend the Maturity Date from September 1, 2011 for a period of one (1) year (the “Extension Period”) ending on September 1, 2012, provided that the following conditions shall have been met:

(i)           No Event of Default (as such term is defined in Paragraph 9 below or in the Mortgage, as hereinafter defined), shall have occurred and be continuing;

(ii)           Prior to the commencement of the Extension Period, the Borrower shall have provided the Bank with at least sixty (60) days prior written notice (the “Extension Period Notice”) of the Borrower’s intention to extend the Maturity Date;
 
 
(iii) CVS O.P., LLC is in occupancy and 85% of the in-line retail space of the Improvements is leased and occupied;

(iv) Guarantor financial covenant compliance is evidenced;

(v) The Facility does not exceed 65% of the “as-stabilized” value of the Property (as defined in the Mortgage);

(vi) DSCR (as hereinafter defined) is not less than 1.20 to 1.00; and

(vii) With the Extension Period Notice, the Borrower shall have paid to the Bank a non-refundable fee of three tenths of one percent (0.30%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan on the first day of the Extension Period. In connection with the Borrower’s request for the Extension Option, the Bank, at its option, may order a new appraisal of the Property, at the cost of the Borrower.
 
 
 

 
 
“DSCR” will be defined as NOI divided by Debt Service. “NOI” will be calculated on an annualized pro forma basis based on the prior three months of operating history, including rents from self storage tenants not more than 45 days in arrears and expected effective minimum rent from certain executed leases with tenants in occupancy or who are not yet in occupancy but are scheduled to take occupancy within ninety (90) days of the test date, but excluding to-be-determined reasonable, customary tenant improvements/capital expenditure reserves and income from tenants in default, bankruptcy and more than sixty days in arrears in the payment of base rent. “Debt Service” will be calculated on an annualized basis assuming the higher of (i) actual interest expense and scheduled principal amortization of the commitment under the Facility, (ii) mortgage-style amortization of the commitment under the Facility over 25 years at a rate of 1.50% over the yield to maturity of the 10-year Treasury Note, or (iii) a 8.29% mortgage constant, each calculated immediately prior to each extension.

If a reduction in the Facility is necessary to meet the loan-to-value requirement or the DSCR requirements set forth above, the Borrower may elect to (A) make a permanent principal reduction payment, or (B) deliver a letter of credit in form and issued by an issuer acceptable to the Bank, in either case in an amount which will satisfy the loan to value or DSCR requirement and thereby obtain the applicable extension, so long as the other conditions for extension are met. In the event Borrower elects to post a letter of credit in order to satisfy the above DSCR requirement, the letter of credit shall be released when the DSCR requirement is met and maintained for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days, provided no default or Event of Default exists.

2.           Rate of Interest.   Amounts outstanding under this Note will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) LIBOR in effect on each Reset Date plus (B) three hundred twenty five (325) basis points (3.25%).  Interest hereunder will be calculated based on the actual number of days that principal is outstanding over a year of 360 days.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Master Agreement (as defined in Paragraph 13 herein), amendment or successor thereto or other interest or currency swap, future, option or other interest rate protection or similar agreement is not in effect, amounts outstanding under this Note will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, as determined at the option of the Borrower (each, an “Option”), at (1) the sum of (a) LIBOR in effect on each Reset Date plus (b) three hundred twenty five (325) basis points (3.25%) or (2) the sum of (a) the Base Rate plus (b) two hundred twenty five (225) basis points (2.25%). In no event will the rate of interest hereunder exceed the maximum rate allowed by law.

For purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Base Rate” shall mean, for any day, a fluctuating per annum rate of interest equal to the highest of (i) the Prime Rate, which rate may not be the lowest rate then being charged commercial borrowers by the Bank, (ii) the Federal Funds Open Rate plus 50 basis points (0.5%), and (iii) the Daily LIBOR Rate plus 100 basis points (1.0%), so long as a Daily LIBOR Rate is offered, ascertainable and not unlawful. If and when the Base Rate (or any component thereof) changes, the rate of interest with respect to any advance bearing interest at the floating rate will change automatically without notice to the Borrower, effective on the date of any such change.  Interest on borrowings at the Base Rate is calculated on an actual/actual day basis and is payable monthly.

“Federal Funds Open Rate" for any day shall mean the rate per annum (based on a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) determined by the Bank in accordance with its usual  procedures (which determination  shall be conclusive absent  manifest error) to be the Open Rate for federal funds transactions as of the opening of business for federal funds transactions among  members of  the Federal  Reserve  System arranged by federal funds brokers on such day, as quoted by Garvin Guybutler (or any successor) or any  other  broker  selected by the Bank, as set forth on the applicable Telerate display page; provided however, that if such day is not a Business Day,  the  Federal  Funds  Open Rate  for such day shall be the Open Rate on the immediately  preceding Business Day or if no such rate shall be quoted by a federal  funds  broker  at  such time, such other rate as determined by the Bank  in accordance with its usual procedures (which determination shall be conclusive  absent  manifest  error). If and when the Federal Funds Open Rate changes, the rate of interest hereunder will change automatically without notice to the Borrower, effective on the date of any such change.

 
2

 
 
Daily LIBOR Rate” shall mean, for any day, the rate per annum determined by the Bank by dividing (x) the Published Rate by (y) a number equal to 1.00 minus the percentage prescribed by the Federal Reserve for determining the maximum reserve requirements with respect to any Eurocurrency funding by banks on such day.

Published Rate” shall mean the rate of interest published each Business Day in The Wall Street Journal “Money Rate” listing under the caption “London Interbank Offered Rate” for a one month period (or, if no such rate is published therein for any reason, then the Published Rate shall be the eurodollar rate for a one month period as published in another publication determined by the Bank).

Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a legal holiday on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law to be closed for business in New York, New York.

 “LIBOR” shall mean, for each Reset Date, the interest rate per annum determined by the Bank by dividing (i) the rate which appears on the Bloomberg Page BBAM1 (or on such other substitute Bloomberg page that displays rates at which US dollar deposits are offered by leading banks in the London interbank deposit market), or the rate which is quoted by another source selected by the Bank which has been approved by the British Bankers’ Association as an authorized information vendor for the purpose of displaying rates at which US dollar deposits are offered by leading banks in the London interbank deposit market (an “Alternate Source”), at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two (2) Business Days prior to such Reset Date, as the one (1) month London interbank offered rate for U.S. Dollars commencing on such Reset Date (or if there shall at any time, for any reason, no longer exist a Bloomberg Page BBAM1 (or any substitute page) or any Alternate Source, a comparable replacement rate determined by the Bank at such time (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error)), by (ii) a number equal to 1.00 minus the LIBOR Reserve Percentage.

LIBOR Reserve Percentage” shall mean the maximum effective per­centage in effect on such day as prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for determining the reserve requirements (including, without limitation, supplemental, marginal and emergen­cy reserve requirements) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities”).

“Prime Rate” shall mean the rate publicly announced by the Bank from time to time as its prime rate.  The Prime Rate is determined from time to time by the Bank as a means of pricing some loans to its borrowers.  The Prime Rate is not tied to any external rate of interest or index, and does not necessarily reflect the lowest rate of interest actually charged by the Bank to any particular class or category of customers.  If and when the Prime Rate changes, the rate of interest with respect to any amounts hereunder to which the Base Rate applies will change automatically without notice to the Borrower, effective on the date of any such change.

“Reset Date” shall mean, subject to the proviso below, the first (1st) day of every month hereafter, provided that: (a) if any such day is not a Business Day, then the first succeeding day that is a Business Day shall instead apply, unless that day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case the next preceding day that is a Business Day shall instead apply, and (b) if any such day is a day of a calendar month for which there is no numerically corresponding day in certain other months (each, a “Non-Conforming Month”), then any Reset Date that falls within a Non-Conforming Month shall be the last day of such Non-Conforming Month.

LIBOR shall be adjusted on and as of (a) each Reset Date, and (b) the effective date of any change in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage.  The Bank shall give prompt notice to the Borrower of LIBOR as determined or adjusted in accordance herewith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

If the Bank determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the eurodollar market generally, deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to banks in the eurodollar market for the selected term, or adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then the Bank shall give notice thereof to the Borrower.  Thereafter, until the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (a) the availability of LIBOR shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate for all amounts outstanding under this Note shall be converted on the next succeeding Reset Date to a rate of interest per annum equal to (A) the Base Rate plus two hundred twenty five (225) basis points (2.25%).

 
3

 
 
In the event that the Master Agreement, amendment or successor thereto or other interest or currency swap, future, option or other interest rate protection or similar agreement is not in effect, the Borrower may select different Options to apply simultaneously to different portions of the advances and may select up to five (5) different interest periods (or four (4) different interest periods if the Base Rate Option is also in use) to apply simultaneously to different portions of the advances bearing interest under the LIBOR Option.  Interest hereunder will be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.  In no event will the rate of interest hereunder exceed the maximum rate allowed by law.

In addition, if, after the date of this Note, the Bank shall determine (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that any enactment, promulgation or adoption of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Bank with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Bank to make or maintain or fund loans based on LIBOR, the Bank shall notify the Borrower.  Upon receipt of such notice, until the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, (a) the availability of LIBOR shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on all amounts outstanding under this Note shall be converted to the Base Rate either (i) on the next succeeding Reset Date if the Bank may lawfully continue to maintain or fund loans based on LIBOR to such day, or (ii) immediately if the Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain or fund loans based on LIBOR.

3.  Interest Rate Election.  In the event that the Master Agreement, amendment or successor thereto or other interest or currency swap, future, option or other interest rate protection or similar agreement is not in effect, subject to the terms and conditions of this Note, at the end of each interest period applicable to any advance, the Borrower may renew the Option applicable to such advance or convert such advance to a different Option; provided that, during any period in which any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any advances bearing interest under the LIBOR Option shall, at the Bank’s sole discretion, be converted at the end of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period to the Base Rate Option and the LIBOR Option will not be available to Borrower with respect to any new advances until such Event of Default has been cured by the Borrower or waived by the Bank.  The Borrower shall notify the Bank in writing of each election of an Option, each conversion from one Option to another, the amount of the advances then outstanding to be allocated to each Option and where relevant the interest periods therefore.  In the case of electing or converting to the LIBOR Option, such notice shall be given at least three (3) Business Days prior to the commencement of any LIBOR Interest Period. In the case of electing or converting to the Base Rate Option, such notice shall be given at least two (2) Business Days prior to the commencement of any Base Rate Period. If no notice of conversion or renewal is timely received by the Bank, the Borrower shall be deemed to have converted such advance to the Base Rate Option.  Any such election shall be provided in writing by such method as the Bank may require.

4.           Payment Terms. Interest only shall be due and payable commencing on the first day of the first month after the date hereof, and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter until the Maturity Date, on which date all outstanding principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable in full. In addition to the foregoing, commencing on March 1, 2011 (the “Principal Commencement Date”), and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter, in addition to the interest payment the Borrower shall make monthly principal payments computed as follows: a fixed principal sum based on the Facility amortizing on a 25 year mortgage-style basis at an assumed interest rate of seven (7%) percent per annum.

 
4

 
 
If any payment under this Note shall become due on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday under the laws of the State where the Bank’s office indicated above is located, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.    Payments received will be applied to charges, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), accrued interest and principal in any order the Bank may choose, in its sole discretion.

5.           Late Payments; Default Rate.  If the Borrower fails to make any payment of principal, interest or other amount coming due pursuant to the provisions of this Note within ten (10) calendar days of the date due and payable, the Borrower also shall pay to the Bank a late charge equal to the greater of five percent (5%) of the amount of such payment or $100.00 (the “Late Charge”).  Such ten (10) day period shall not be construed in any way to extend the due date of any such payment.  Upon maturity, whether by acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at the Bank’s option upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) and during the continuance thereof, amounts outstanding under this Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum (based on the actual number of days that principal is outstanding over a year of 360 days) which shall be four percentage points (4%) in excess of the interest rate then in effect until the next succeeding Reset Date, and four percentage points (4%) in excess of the Base Rate at all times thereafter (or in the case of an Event of Default, until such time that such Event of Default has been cured by the Borrower or waived by the Bank), but in any such event not more than the maximum rate allowed by law (the “Default Rate”).  The Default Rate shall continue to apply whether or not judgment shall be entered on this Note.  Both the Late Charge and the Default Rate are imposed as liquidated damages for the purpose of defraying the Bank’s expenses incident to the handling of delinquent payments, but are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Bank’s exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or under applicable law, and any fees and expenses of any agents or attorneys which the Bank may employ.  In addition, the Default Rate reflects the increased credit risk to the Bank of carrying a loan that is in default.  The Borrower agrees that the Late Charge and Default Rate are reasonable forecasts of just compensation for anticipated and actual harm incurred by the Bank, and that the actual harm incurred by the Bank cannot be estimated with certainty and without difficulty.

6.  Prepayment.   The Borrower shall have the right to prepay at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, without penalty, any advance hereunder which is accruing interest under the Base Rate Option.  If the Borrower prepays (whether voluntary, on default or otherwise) all or any part of any advance which is accruing interest under the LIBOR Option on a day other than the last day of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, all amounts due pursuant to paragraph 7 below, including the Cost of Prepayment, if any.

7.  Yield Protection.  The Borrower shall pay to the Bank, on written demand therefor, together with the written evidence of the justification therefor, all direct costs incurred, losses suffered or payments made by Bank by reason of any change in law or regulation or its interpretation imposing any reserve, deposit, allocation of capital, or similar requirement (including without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) on the Bank, its holding company or any of their respective assets.  In addition, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Bank against any liabilities, losses or expenses (including loss of margin, any loss or expense sustained or incurred  in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, and any loss or expense incurred in connection with funds  acquired to effect, fund or maintain any advance (or any part thereof) bearing interest under the LIBOR Option) which the Bank sustains or incurs as a consequence of either (i) the Borrower’s failure to make a payment on the due date thereof, (ii) the Borrower’s revocation (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or in part of any notice given to Bank to request, convert, renew or prepay any advance, or (iii) the Borrower’s payment, prepayment or conversion of any advance bearing interest under the  LIBOR Option on a day other than the last day of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period, including but not limited to the Cost of Prepayment.  “Cost of Prepayment” means an amount equal to the present value, if positive, of the product of (a) the difference between (i) the yield, on the beginning date of the applicable interest period, of a U.S. Treasury obligation with a maturity similar to the applicable interest period minus (ii) the yield, on the prepayment date, of a U.S. Treasury obligation with a maturity similar to the remaining maturity of the applicable interest period, and (b) the principal amount to be prepaid, and (c) the number of years, including fractional years from the prepayment date to the end of the applicable interest period.  The yield on any U.S. Treasury obligation shall be determined by reference to Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) “Selected Interest Rates”.  For purposes of making present value calculations, the yield to maturity of a similar maturity U.S. Treasury obligation on the prepayment date shall be deemed the discount rate.  The Cost of Prepayment shall also apply to any payments made after acceleration of the maturity of this Note.  The Bank’s determination of an amount payable under this paragraph shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and shall be payable within 10 days after written demand.

Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement
 
 
 
THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP AGREEMENT (this “Guaranty”) is made and entered into as of this 17 day of September, 2010 (effective as of September 17, 2010) , by ACADIA STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITY FUND II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with an address at 1311 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 260, White Plains, New York 10605 (hereinafter referred to as the “Guarantor”, in consideration of the extension of credit by PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the “Bank”), with an address at Two Tower Center Boulevard, 18th Floor, East Brunswick, New Jersey  08816, to ACADIA – P/A LIBERTY LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

1.  Guaranty of Obligations.  The Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor, and become surety for, the prompt payment and performance of all loans, advances, debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Borrower to the Bank or to any other direct or indirect subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. in connection with a certain second amended and restated mortgage loan made by the Bank to the Borrower in the principal amount of $10,000,000.00 (the “Loan”), which Loan is described in or evidenced by loan documents (the “Loan Documents”) including, without limitation, the amended and restated mortgage loan note of the Borrower of even date herewith which evidences the Loan made pursuant to the Loan Agreement (as same may be amended, renewed or replaced from time to time, the “Note”), the building loan leasehold mortgage and security agreement dated May 18, 2006 securing the Note (as same may be amended, renewed and replaced from time to time, the “Mortgage”) and all costs and expenses associated with the completion of the Improvements (as defined in the Loan Agreement), as more fully set forth herein, the obligations and liabilities arising under or by reason of the Master Agreement (as defined in the Note”) and the payment of Additional Interest (as defined in the Note), or under any other interest or currency swap, future, option or other interest rate protection or similar agreement, foreign currency transaction, forward, option or other similar transaction providing for the purchase of one currency in exchange for the sale of another currency, or in any other manner, whether now existing or hereinafter entered into (including any interest accruing thereon after maturity, or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), or arising out of overdrafts on deposit or other accounts or out of electronic funds transfers by the Borrower (whether by wire transfer or through automated clearing houses or otherwise) or out of the return unpaid of, or other failure of the Bank to receive final payment for, any check, item, instrument, payment order or other deposit or credit to a deposit or other account of the Borrower, or out of the Bank’s non-receipt of or inability to collect funds or otherwise not being made whole in connection with depository or other similar arrangements of the Borrower; and any amendments, extensions, renewals or increases and all costs and expenses of the Bank (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in the documentation, negotiation, modification, enforcement, collection or otherwise in connection with any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Obligations”). If the Borrower defaults under any such Obligations and such default continues beyond applicable grace, notice and cure periods, the Guarantor will pay the amount due to the Bank.

2.  Intentionally Omitted.

3.  Nature of Guaranty; Waivers.   This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and the Bank shall not be required, as a condition of the Guarantor’s liability, to make any demand upon or to pursue any of its rights against the Borrower, or to pursue any rights which may be available to it with respect to any other person who may be liable for the payment of the Obligations.

This is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guaranty and will remain in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.  This Guaranty will remain in full force and effect even if there is no principal balance outstanding under the Obligations at a particular time or from time to time.  This Guaranty will not be affected by any surrender, exchange, acceptance, compromise or release by the Bank of any other party, or any other guaranty or any security held by it for any of the Obligations, by any failure of the Bank to take any steps to perfect or maintain its lien or security interest in or to preserve its rights to any security or other collateral for any of the Obligations or any guaranty, or by any irregularity, unenforceability or invalidity of any of the Obligations or any part thereof or any security or other guaranty thereof.  The Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be affected, modified or impaired by any counterclaim, set-off, deduction or defense based upon any claim the Guarantor may have against the Borrower or the Bank, except payment or performance of the Obligations.
 
 
 

 
 
Notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, notice of extensions of credit to the Borrower from time to time, notice of default, diligence, presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand for payment, and any defense based upon the Bank’s failure to comply with the notice requirements under Parts 5 and 6 of the applicable version of the Uniform Commercial Code are hereby waived.  The Guarantor waives all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral.

The Bank at any time and from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Guarantor, and without impairing or releasing, discharging or modifying the Guarantor’s liabilities hereunder, may (a) change the manner, place, time or terms of payment or performance of or interest rates on, or other terms relating to, any of the Obligations; (b) renew, substitute, modify, amend or alter, or grant consents or waivers relating to any of the Obligations, any other guaranties, or any security for any Obligations or guaranties; (c) apply any and all payments by whomever paid or however realized including any proceeds of any collateral, to any Obligations of the Borrower in such order, manner and amount as the Bank may determine in its sole discretion; (d) settle, compromise or deal with any other person, including the Borrower or the Guarantor, with respect to any Obligations in such manner as the Bank deems appropriate in its sole discretion; (e) substitute, exchange or release any security or guaranty; or (f) take such actions and exercise such remedies hereunder as provided herein.

4.  Repayments or Recovery from the Bank.  If any demand is made at any time upon the Bank for the repayment or recovery of any amount received by it in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and if the Bank repays all or any part of such amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body or by reason of any settlement or compromise of any such demand, the Guarantor will be and remain liable hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never been received originally by the Bank.  The provisions of this section will be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Guarantor in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so taken will be without prejudice to the Bank’s rights hereunder and will be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having become final and irrevocable.

5.  Financial Statements.  The Guarantor covenants and agrees to provide the Bank with financial statements and information relating to the Guarantor in accordance with the requirements set forth in the second mortgage modification agreement between the Bank and the Borrower dated the date hereof.  Such financial statements and information (and all requirements relating thereto) are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth at length herein.

In the event that any such information submitted to the Bank has been prepared by an outside accountant, the same shall be accompanied by a statement in writing signed by the accountant disclosing that the accountant is aware that the information prepared by the accountant would be submitted to and relied upon by the Bank in connection with the Bank’s determination to grant or continue credit.

6.  Enforceability of Obligations.  No modification, limitation or discharge of the Obligations arising out of or by virtue of any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding for relief of debtors under federal or state law will affect, modify, limit or discharge the Guarantor’s liability in any manner whatsoever and this Guaranty will remain and continue in full force and effect and will be enforceable against the Guarantor to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if any such proceeding had not been instituted.  The Guarantor waives all rights and benefits which might accrue to it by reason of any such proceeding and will be liable to the full extent hereunder, irrespective of any modification, limitation or discharge of the liability of the Borrower that may result from any such proceeding.

The Guarantor expressly waives the effect of any statute of limitations or other limitations on any actions under this Guaranty.

7.  Events of Default.   The occurrence of any of the following shall be an “Event of Default”:  (i) any Event of Default (as defined in any of the Obligations); (ii) any default under any of the Obligations that does not have a defined set of “Events of Default” and the lapse of any notice or cure period provided in such Obligations with respect to such default; (iii) demand by the Bank under any of the Obligations that have a demand feature; (iv) the Guarantor’s failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder after notice and the passage of any applicable cure period; (v) the falsity, inaccuracy or material breach by the Guarantor of any written warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to the Bank by or on behalf of the Guarantor; or (vi) the termination or attempted termination of this Guaranty.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, (a) the Guarantor shall pay to the Bank the amount of the Obligations; or (b) on demand of the Bank, the Guarantor shall immediately deposit with the Bank, in U.S. dollars, all amounts due or to become due under the Obligations, and the Bank may at any time use such funds to repay the Obligations; or (c) the Bank in its discretion may exercise with respect to any collateral any one or more of the rights and remedies provided a secured party under the applicable version of the Uniform Commercial Code; or (d) the Bank in its discretion may exercise from time to time any other rights and remedies available to it at law, in equity or otherwise.

8.  Right of Setoff.   In addition to all liens upon and rights of setoff against the Guarantor’s money, securities or other property given to the Bank by law, the Bank shall have, with respect to the Guarantor’s obligations to the Bank under this Guaranty and to the extent permitted by law, a contractual possessory security interest in and a contractual right of setoff against, and the Guarantor hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges and transfers to the Bank all of the Guarantor’s right, title and interest in and to, all of the Guarantor’s deposits, moneys, securities and other property now or hereafter in the possession of or on deposit with, or in transit to, the Bank or any other direct or indirect subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., whether held in a general or special account or deposit, whether held jointly with someone else, or whether held for safekeeping or otherwise, excluding, however, all IRA, Keogh, and trust accounts.  Every such security interest and right of setoff may be exercised without demand upon or notice to the Guarantor.  Every such right of setoff shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder without any action of the Bank, although the Bank may enter such setoff on its books and records at a later time.

9.  Collateral.  This Guaranty is secured by the property described in any collateral security documents, if any, which the Guarantor executes and delivers to the Bank in connection with the Loan and by such other collateral, if any, as previously may have been or may in the future be granted to the Bank to secure any obligations of the Guarantor to the Bank in connection with the Loan.

10.  Costs.  To the extent that the Bank incurs any costs or expenses in protecting or enforcing its rights under the Obligations or this Guaranty, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the costs and expenses of litigation, such costs and expenses will be due on demand, will be included in the Obligations and will bear interest from the incurring or payment thereof at the Default Rate (as defined in any of the Obligations).

11.  Postponement of Subrogation.  Until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full, expire, are terminated and are not subject to any right of revocation or rescission, the Guarantor postpones and subordinates in favor of the Bank or its designee (and any assignee or potential assignee of the foregoing), any and all rights which the Guarantor may have to (a) assert any claim against the Borrower based on subrogation, exoneration, reimbursement, or indemnity whatsoever nor any right of recourse to security for the Obligations with respect to payments made hereunder, and (b) any realization on any property of the Borrower, including participation in any marshalling of the Borrower’s assets; provided, however, the Guarantor shall be entitled to distributions from the sale of Units so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

12.  Notices.  All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other communications required or permitted hereunder (“Notices”) must be in writing and will be effective upon receipt.  Notices may be given in any manner to which the parties may separately agree, including electronic mail.  Without limiting the foregoing, first-class mail, facsimile transmission and commercial courier service are hereby agreed to as acceptable methods for giving Notices.  Regardless of the manner in which provided, Notices may be sent to a party's address as set forth above or to such other address as any party may give to the other for such purpose in accordance with this section.
