ARTICLE 5

INTEREST

 

  5.1 Interest Rate.

(a) The Loan will bear interest at the Applicable Rate, unless the Default Rate is applicable. The Adjusted Base Rate shall be the “Applicable Rate”, except that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be the “Applicable Rate” with respect to portions of the Loan as to which a LIBOR Rate Option is then in effect. For the initial disbursement of the Loan, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender irrevocable notice (which may be (i) verbal notice provided that Borrowers deliver to Lender facsimile confirmation within twenty four (24) hours of such verbal notice or (ii) electronic mail notice within twenty four (24) hours of such verbal notice) by (x) if such disbursement is to bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate, not later than 11:00 a.m. Cleveland, Ohio, time on the second Business Day prior to the desired date of disbursement and (y) if such disbursement is to bear interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, not later than 11:00 a.m. Cleveland, Ohio, time on the third LIBOR Business Day prior to the desired date of disbursement. Borrowers shall pay interest in arrears on the tenth (10th) day of every calendar month in the amount of all interest accrued and unpaid. All payments (whether of principal or of interest) shall be deemed credited to Borrowers’ account only if received by 12:00 noon Cleveland, Ohio, time on a Business Day; otherwise, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.

(b) Provided that no Event of Default exists, Borrowers shall have the option (the “LIBOR Rate Option”) to elect from time to time in the manner and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth an Adjusted LIBOR Rate as the Applicable Rate for all or any portion of the Loan which would otherwise bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate, pursuant to the LIBOR Election Notice attached hereto as Exhibit F.

(c) The only manner in which Borrowers may exercise the LIBOR Rate Option is by giving Lender irrevocable notice (which may be verbal notice provided that Borrowers deliver to Lender facsimile or electronic mail confirmation within twenty-four (24) hours) of such exercise not later than 11:00 a.m. Cleveland, Ohio, time on the second LIBOR Business Day prior to the proposed commencement of the relevant LIBOR Rate Interest Period, which written notice shall specify: (i) the portion of the Loan with respect to which Borrowers are electing the LIBOR Rate Option, (ii) the LIBOR Business Day upon which the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period is to commence and (iii) the duration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period. The Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan with respect to which Borrower has elected the LIBOR Rate Option shall revert to the Adjusted Base Rate as of the last day of the LIBOR Rate Interest Period applicable thereto (unless Borrowers again exercise the LIBOR Rate Option for such portion of the Loan). Lender shall be under no duty to notify Borrowers that the Applicable Rate on any portion of the Loan is about to revert from an Adjusted LIBOR Rate to the Adjusted

 

SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT    Page 15


Base Rate. The LIBOR Rate Option may be exercised by Borrowers only with respect to any portion of the Loan equal to or in excess of $1,000,000.00. At no time may there be more than one (1) LIBOR Rate Interest Period in effect with respect to the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower shall elect a LIBOR Rate Option, only so much of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan as would not become due and payable during the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period shall accrue interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate and the remaining principal balance shall accrue interest at the Adjusted Base Rate.

(d) If Lender reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers, provided that it is reasonably determined and absent manifest error) (i) that Dollar deposits in an amount approximately equal to the portion of the Loan for which Borrowers have exercised the LIBOR Rate Option for the designated LIBOR Rate Interest Period are not generally available at such time in the London interbank market for deposits in Dollars, (ii) that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining a LIBOR Rate on such portion of the Loan or of funding the same for such LIBOR Rate Interest Period due to circumstances affecting the London interbank market generally, (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining a LIBOR Rate, or (iv) that an Adjusted LIBOR Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrowers may by law pay, then, in any such event, Lender shall so notify Borrowers and all portions of the Loan bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate that are so affected shall, as of the date of such notification with respect to an event described in clause (ii) or (iv) above, or as of the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period with respect to an event described in clause (i) or (iii) above, bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate until such time as the situations described above are no longer in effect or can be avoided by Borrowers exercising a LIBOR Rate Option for a different LIBOR Rate Interest Period.

(e) Interest at the Applicable Rate (or Default Rate) shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, including the first date of the applicable period to, but not including, the date of repayment.

(f) Borrowers shall pay all Breakage Costs incurred from time to time by Lender upon demand.

(g) If the introduction of or any change in any Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof, shall make it unlawful for Lender to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate with respect to the Loan or any portion thereof, or to fund the Loan or any portion thereof in Dollars in the London interbank market, or to give effect to its obligations regarding the LIBOR Rate Option as contemplated by the Loan Documents, then (1) Lender shall notify Borrowers that Lender is no longer able to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, (2) the LIBOR Rate Option shall immediately terminate, (3) the Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan for which the Applicable Rate is then an Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall automatically be converted to the Adjusted Base Rate, and (4) Borrower shall pay to Lender the amount of Breakage Costs (if any) incurred in connection with such conversion. Thereafter, Borrowers shall not be entitled to exercise the LIBOR Rate Option until such time as the situation described herein is no longer in effect or can be avoided by Borrowers exercising a LIBOR Rate Option for a LIBOR Rate Interest Period.

(h) The Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate at any time at which an Event of Default shall exist.

 

  5.2 Interest Rate Agreement.

(a) Any indebtedness incurred pursuant to an Interest Rate Agreement entered into by Borrowers (or any one of them) and Lender shall constitute indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents to the same extent and effect as if the terms and provisions of such Interest Rate Agreement were set forth herein, whether or not the aggregate of such indebtedness, together with the disbursements made by Lender of the proceeds of the Loan, shall exceed the face amount of the Note.

(b) Borrowers hereby collaterally assigns to Lender for the benefit of Lender any and all Interest Rate Protection Products purchased or to be purchased by Borrowers (or any one of them) in connection with the Loan, as additional security for the Loan, and agrees to provide Lender with any additional documentation

 

SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT    Page 16


requested by Lender in order to confirm or perfect such security interest during the term of the Loan. If any Borrower obtains an Interest Rate Protection Product from a party other than Lender, such Borrower shall deliver to Lender such third party’s consent to such collateral assignment. No Interest Rate Protection Product purchased from a third party may be secured by an interest in any Borrower or any Project.

ARTICLE 6

COSTS OF MAINTAINING LOAN

 

  6.1 Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy.

(a) Borrowers recognize that the cost to Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof may fluctuate and, Borrowers agree to pay Lender additional amounts to compensate Lender for any increase in its actual costs incurred in maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof outstanding or for the reduction of any amounts received or receivable from Borrowers as a result of:

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

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

(b) If the application of any Law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted or arising out of the July, 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards”, or the adoption after the date hereof of any other Law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in any of the foregoing, or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any domestic or foreign Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital to a level below that which Lender would have achieved but for such application, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of Lender with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time Borrowers shall pay to Lender such additional amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction with respect to any portion of the Loan outstanding.

(c) Any amount payable by Borrowers under subsection (a) or subsection (b) of this Section 6.1 shall be paid within five (5) days of receipt by Borrowers of a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Lender setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers, absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Lender to demand payment from Borrowers for any such amount attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period. Lender shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrowers prompt notice of any event described in subsection (a) or (b) above, of the amount of the reserve and capital adequacy payments resulting therefrom and the reasons therefor and of the basis of calculation of such amount; provided, however, that any failure by Lender to so notify Borrowers shall not affect Borrowers’ obligation to pay the reserve and capital adequacy payment resulting therefrom.

(a) Opening of Loan on the Loan Opening Date. All conditions precedent to the Opening of the Loan shall be complied with on or prior to the Loan Opening Date. If such conditions are not complied with as of the Loan Opening Date, Lender may at its sole option terminate Lender’s obligation to fund the Loan by written notice to Borrowers.

(b) Inspection by Lender. Borrowers will cooperate with Lender in arranging for inspections by representatives of Lender from time to time provided, that unless an Event of Default exists, upon twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to Borrowers. Such inspection shall include an examination of (i) the Improvements, and (ii) all books, contracts and records with respect to the Improvements.

(c) Mechanics’ Liens and Contest Thereof. Borrowers will not suffer or permit any mechanics’ lien claims to be filed or otherwise asserted against any Project, and will promptly discharge the same in case of the filing of any claims for lien or proceedings for the enforcement thereof, provided, however, that Borrowers shall have the right to contest in good faith and with reasonable diligence the validity of any such lien or claim upon furnishing to the Title Insurer such security or indemnity as it may require to induce said Title Insurer to issue an endorsement to the Title Policy insuring against all such claims or liens; and provided further, that the aggregate amount of liens so insured against at any time shall not exceed $25,000.00 for any one Project or $125,000.00 in the aggregate without Lender’s prior written consent.

(d) Settlement of Mechanics’ Lien Claims. If Borrowers shall fail promptly either (i) to discharge any such lien, or (ii) to contest claims asserted and give security or indemnity in the manner provided in subsection (c) of this Section, or having commenced to contest the same, and having given such security or indemnity, shall fail to prosecute such contest with diligence, or to maintain such indemnity or security so required by the Title Insurer for its full amount, or upon adverse conclusion of any such contest, to cause any judgment or decree to be satisfied and lien to be released, then and in any such event Lender may, at its election (but shall not be required to), procure the release and discharge of any such claim and any judgment or decree thereon and, further, may in its sole discretion effect any settlement or compromise of the same, or may furnish such security or indemnity to the Title Insurer, and any amounts so expended by Lender, including premiums paid or security furnished in connection with the issuance of any surety company bonds, shall be deemed to constitute disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan hereunder. In settling, compromising or discharging any claims for lien, Lender shall not be required to inquire into the validity or amount of any such claim.

 

SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT    Page 21


(e) Renewal of Insurance. Borrowers shall cause insurance policies to be maintained in compliance with Exhibit E at all times. Borrowers shall timely pay all premiums on all insurance policies required hereunder, and as and when additional insurance is required by Lender, from time to time, and as and when any policies of insurance may expire, furnish to Lender, premiums prepaid, additional and renewal insurance policies with companies, coverage and in amounts satisfactory to Lender in accordance with Section 8.1(c).

(f) Payment of Taxes. Borrowers shall pay, or cause to be paid, all real estate taxes and assessments and charges of every kind upon the Projects before the same become delinquent, provided, however, that Borrowers shall have the right to pay such tax under protest or to otherwise contest any such tax or assessment, but only if (i) such contest has the effect of preventing the collection of such taxes so contested and also of preventing the sale or forfeiture of the Project or any part thereof or any interest therein, (ii) Borrowers have notified Lender of its intent to contest such taxes, and (iii) Borrowers have deposited security in form and amount satisfactory to Lender, in its sole discretion.

Borrowers shall furnish to Lender evidence that taxes are paid at least five (5) days prior to the last date for payment of such taxes and before imposition of any penalty or accrual of interest.

(g) Escrow Accounts.

All payments deposited in the escrow account, and all interest accruing thereon, are pledged as additional collateral for the Loan. Notwithstanding Lender’s holding of the escrow account, nothing herein shall obligate Lender to pay any insurance premiums or real property taxes with respect to any portion of the Projects, provided that, so long as no Event of Default exists, Lender shall make available to Borrowers such funds as may be deposited in the escrow account from time to time for Borrowers’ payment of insurance premiums or real property taxes due with respect to the Projects.

(h) Personal Property. All of Borrowers’ personal property, fixtures, attachments and equipment delivered upon, attached to or used in connection with the operation of the Projects shall always be located at the applicable Project and shall be kept free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and security interests.

(i) Leasing Restrictions. Without the prior written consent of Lender, no Borrower or its agents shall lease space in the Improvements except to Tenant or pursuant to and on the standard form of residency agreements previously approved by Lender, with no material deviations from the standard form except as approved by Lender. Borrowers shall submit to Lender for its review the standard form of residency agreement proposed for the Improvements and any revisions to the form from time to time, which form as so revised must have the prior written approval of Lender and must contain mortgagee protection provisions acceptable to Lender. Any change from the approved mortgagee protection provisions in the standard form residency agreement, or the inclusion of any provision permitting set-off by the tenant, shall be considered a material deviation requiring the approval of Lender. If any Lease fails to meet all of the foregoing requirements, then the Lease is subject to Lender’s approval, and Lender shall respond by approving or disapproving the Lease within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the copy from Borrowers. Lender’s failure to approve or disapprove the Lease within that period shall constitute approval of the Lease. Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs incurred by Lender in connection with Lender’s review and approval of tenant Leases, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Lender does hereby acknowledge and agree that the form of residency agreement provided by Borrowers to Lender in connection with the Loan has been approved.

(k) Lender’s Attorneys’ Fees for Enforcement of Agreement. In case of any default or Event of Default hereunder, Borrowers (in addition to Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, if any, to be paid pursuant to Section 7.3) will pay Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ and paralegal fees (including, without limitation, any attorney and paralegal fees and costs incurred in connection with any litigation or bankruptcy or administrative hearing and any appeals therefrom) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time or times hereafter Lender employs counsel (whether or not any suit has been or shall be filed and whether or not other legal proceedings have been or shall be instituted) for advice or other representation with respect to the Projects, this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, or to protect, collect, lease, sell, take possession of, or liquidate the Project, or to attempt to enforce any security interest or lien in any portion of the Project, or to enforce any rights of Lender or any of Borrowers’ obligations hereunder, then in any of such events all of the reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from such services, and any expenses, costs and charges relating thereto, shall constitute an additional liability owing by Borrowers to Lender, on a joint and several basis, payable on demand.

ARTICLE 12

ASSIGNMENTS BY LENDER AND BORROWERS

 

  12.1 Assignments and Participations.

Lender may from time to time sell the Loan and the Loan Documents (or any interest therein) and may grant participations in the Loan. Borrowers agree to cooperate with Lender’s efforts to do any of the foregoing and to execute all documents reasonably required by Lender in connection therewith which do not materially adversely affect Borrowers’ rights under the Loan Documents.

 

  12.2 Prohibition of Assignments and Transfers by Borrowers.

Borrowers shall not assign or attempt to assign its rights under this Agreement and any purported assignment shall be void. Without the prior written consent of Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, Borrowers shall not suffer or permit the sale, transfer, lease (other than the Leases and in the ordinary course of business pursuant to a Standard Residential Lease and without material deviation from the pro forma rents previously provided by Borrowers to Lender), conveyance, alienation, pledge, assignment, encumbrance, hypothecation or other disposition (a “Transfer”) of (i) all or any portion of any Project or any portion of any other security for the Loan, (ii) all or any portion of any Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any Project or any portion of any other security for the Loan, or (iii) any interest in Guarantor or any Borrower or any interest in any entity which holds an interest in, or directly or indirectly controls, any Borrower. Notwithstanding the provisions hereof to the contrary, Lender acknowledges that CHT Holding owns one hundred percent (100%) of the direct ownership interests in each Borrower. Further, any third party or combination of third parties which is not under common Control with, or an Affiliate of, CHT Holding shall be permitted to acquire direct or indirect ownership interests in Guarantor or any Borrower so long as no Change of Control occurs.

 

  12.3 Prohibition of Transfers in Violation of ERISA.

In addition to the prohibitions set forth in Section 12.2 above, Borrower shall not assign, sell, pledge, encumber, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of its interest or rights in this Agreement or in the Project, or attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing, nor shall any party owning a direct or indirect interest in Borrower assign, sell, pledge, encumber, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of its rights or interest (direct or indirect) in Borrower, attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing, if such action would cause the Loan, or the exercise of any of Lender’s rights in connection therewith, to constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code or otherwise result in Lender being deemed in violation of any applicable provision of ERISA. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender free and harmless from and against all losses, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), taxes, damages (including consequential damages) and expenses Lender may suffer by reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in obtaining any prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA necessary or desirable in Lender’s sole judgment or by reason of a breach of the foregoing prohibitions. The foregoing indemnification shall be a recourse obligation of Borrower and shall survive repayment of the Note, notwithstanding any limitations on recourse contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents.

(m) The occurrence of any other event or circumstance denominated as an Event of Default herein or under any of the other Loan Documents and the expiration of any applicable grace or cure periods, if any, specified for such Event of Default herein or therein, as the case may be.

SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT    Page 28


either the right to avail itself of and procure performance of existing contracts or let any contracts with the same contractors or others. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, each Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Lender its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution in the Projects to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims, which may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens against the Projects; to execute all applications and certificates in the name of each Borrower prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Improvements or the Projects; to take action and require such performance as it deems necessary under any of the bonds to be furnished hereunder and to make settlements and compromises with the surety or sureties thereunder, and in connection therewith, to execute instruments of release and satisfaction; and to do any and every act which any Borrower might do in its own behalf; it being understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 14(d), all amounts evidenced by the Note shall automatically become due and payable, without any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind to Borrowers.
