REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT
This Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (this “CREDIT AGREEMENT”) is made and entered into as of the 15th day of May, 2013, by and between AR CAPITAL, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“LENDER”), and ARC REALTY FINANCE TRUST, INC., a Maryland corporation (“BORROWER”).
In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. LINE OF CREDIT. Lender hereby establishes for a period extending to May 15, 2014 (provided, however, Borrower shall have the right, upon advance notice to Lender, to two extensions of the period of this Credit Agreement for up to one year each) (such date, as may be extended, the “MATURITY DATE”) a revolving line of credit (the “CREDIT LINE”) for Borrower in the principal amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (the “CREDIT LIMIT”). In connection herewith, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a Promissory Note in the amount of the Credit Limit and in form and content satisfactory to Lender. All sums advanced on the Credit Line or pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement (each an “ADVANCE”) shall become part of the principal of said Promissory Note.
2. ADVANCES. Any request for an Advance may be made from time to time and in such amounts as Borrower may choose; provided, however, any requested Advance will not, when added to the outstanding principal balance of all previous Advances, exceed the Credit Limit. Requests for Advances may be made orally or in writing by such officer of Borrower authorized by it to request such Advances. Lender may refuse to make any requested Advance if an event of default has occurred and is continuing hereunder either at the time the request is given or the date the Advance is to be made, or if an event has occurred or condition exists which, with the giving of notice or passing of time or both, would constitute an event of default hereunder as of such dates. The funds from the Advances shall be used by Borrower to fund the short-term borrowing needs of Borrower in connection with the acquisition by Borrower of certain commercial real estate debt investments.
3. INTEREST. All sums advanced pursuant to this Credit Agreement shall bear interest from the date each Advance is made until paid in full at the rate of three and one-quarter percent (3.25%) per annum (the “EFFECTIVE RATE”).
4. REPAYMENT. Unless sooner accelerated as provided in this Credit Agreement upon the occurrence of an event of default, Borrower shall pay accrued interest on the outstanding principal balance on a quarterly basis commencing on July 1, 2013, and continuing on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter. The entire unpaid principal balance, together with any accrued interest and other unpaid charges or fees hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. All payments shall be made to Lender at such place as Lender may, from time to time, designate. All payments received hereunder shall be applied, first, to any costs or expenses incurred by Lender in collecting such payment or to any other unpaid charges or expenses due hereunder; second, to accrued interest; and third, to principal. Borrower may prepay principal at any time without penalty.
5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. In order to induce Lender to enter into this Credit Agreement and to make the advances provided for herein, Borrower represents and warrants to Lender as follows:
a. Borrower (i) is duly organized and subsisting under the laws of the State of Maryland, (ii) has the power and authority and the legal right to own and operate its property, and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, and (iii) except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect, is duly qualified as a foreign entity and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership or operation of property or the conduct of its business require such qualification.
b. Borrower has the authority and power to execute and deliver any document required hereunder and to perform any condition or obligation imposed under the terms of such documents.
c. The execution, delivery and performance of this Credit Agreement and each document incident hereto will not violate any provision of any applicable law, regulation, order, judgment, decree, article of incorporation, by-law, indenture, contract, agreement, or other undertaking to which Borrower is a party, or which purports to be binding on Borrower or its assets and will not result in the creation or imposition of a lien on any of its assets.
d. There is no action, suit, investigation, or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened, against or affecting Borrower or any of its assets which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of Borrower or the operation of its business.
6. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. An event of default will occur if any of the following events occurs:
a. Failure to pay any principal or interest hereunder within ten (10) days after the same becomes due.
b. Any representation or warranty made by Borrower in this Credit Agreement or in connection with any borrowing or request for an Advance hereunder, or in any certificate, financial statement, or other statement furnished by Borrower to Lender is untrue in any material respect at the time when made.
c. Default by Borrower in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in this Credit Agreement, other than a default constituting a separate and distinct event of default under this Paragraph 6.
d. Filing by Borrower of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy seeking reorganization, arrangement or readjustment of debts, or any other relief under the Bankruptcy Code as amended or under any other insolvency act or law, state or federal, now or hereafter existing.
e. Filing of an involuntary petition against Borrower in bankruptcy seeking reorganization, arrangement or readjustment of debts, or any other relief under the Bankruptcy Code as amended, or under any other insolvency act or law, state or federal, now or hereafter existing, and the continuance thereof for sixty (60) days undismissed, unbonded, or undischarged.
7. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an event of default as defined above, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance, together with accrued interest thereon, to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, or other notice of any kind. Lender may suspend or terminate any obligation it may have hereunder to make additional Advances. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower waives any rights to presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind in connection with this Credit Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided at law or in equity. Borrower agrees to pay all costs of collection incurred by reason of the default, including court costs and reasonable attorney's fees.
8. NOTICE. Any written notice will be deemed effective on the date such notice is placed, first class, postage prepaid, in the United States mail, addressed to the party to which notice is being given as follows:
