REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 4.1 Representations of Borrowers. Each Borrower represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:
4.1.1 Organization. Each Borrower has been duly formed and is validly existing and in good standing with requisite power and authority to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged. Each Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and operations. Each Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the sole business of each Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of the Property or Properties owned by such Borrower. The ownership interests of each Borrower are as set forth on the organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule IV. Each Borrower (a) has complied in all respects with its certificate of formation and limited liability company operating agreement or limited partnership agreement; (b) has maintained complete books and records and, except in connection with the Loan, bank accounts separate from those of its Affiliates; (c) has obeyed all limited liability company or limited partnership, as applicable, formalities required to maintain its status as, and at all times has held itself out to the public as, a legal entity separate and distinct from any other entity (including, but not limited to, any Affiliate thereof); and (d) has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business and to own its property, as now conducted or owned, and as contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power and authority to do business in the state in which the Property or Properties owned by such Borrower are located. The signatory hereto on behalf of each Borrower has all necessary power, authority and legal right to execute this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents on such Borrower’s behalf to which such Borrower is a party. The Guarantor has the necessary power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Guaranty.
4.1.2 Proceedings. Each Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This

 

46


 

Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of each such Borrower and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of each such Borrower, enforceable against each such Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by each Borrower and/or Guarantor, as applicable, will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of any Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, any mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which any Borrower is a party or by which any Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any Borrower or any Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower and/or Guarantor, as applicable, of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and are in full force and effect.
4.1.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or threatened against or affecting any Borrower, Guarantor or, to each Borrower’s actual knowledge, any Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against any Borrower, Guarantor or any Property, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of any Borrower, Guarantor or the condition or ownership of any Property.
4.1.5 Agreements. No Borrower is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect any Borrower or any Property, or any Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. No Borrower is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which any Borrower or any Property are bound. No Borrower has any material financial obligation under any indenture, any mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which such Borrower is a party or by which such Borrower or the Property or Properties owned by such Borrower is otherwise bound, other than (a) any obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property or Properties owned by such Borrower as permitted pursuant to clause (u) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, and (b) the obligations of such Borrower under the Loan Documents.
4.1.6 Title. Fee simple title to each Property is, or contemporaneously with the funding of the Loan will be, owned by a Borrower hereunder free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances. To Borrowers’ actual knowledge, the Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use

 

47


 

of any Property (as currently used) or any Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. Each of the Mortgages and the Assignments of Leases, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Property or Properties identified therein, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents, and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty and intangible assets owned by each of the Borrowers (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances and such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents. Except as set forth in the Title Insurance Policies, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting any Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
4.1.7 Solvency. No Borrower has (a) entered into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) failed to receive reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrowers’ assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrowers’ total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. After giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrowers’ assets are greater than Borrowers’ probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Each Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out each Borrower’s business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. No Borrower intends to, and no Borrower believes that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond such Borrower’s ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by such Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of such Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against any Borrower or any of such Borrower’s constituent Persons, and no Borrower nor any of such Borrower’s constituent Persons has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. No Borrower nor any of such Borrower’s constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of any Borrower’s assets or properties, and no Borrower has any knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any petition against such Borrower or any of such Borrower’s constituent Persons.
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by or on behalf of any Borrower (i) in connection with the Loan Application, (ii) in this Agreement, or (iii) in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to any Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as any Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, any Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower or Guarantor.

 

48


 

4.1.9 No Plan Assets. No Borrower is an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and none of the assets of any Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. Compliance by each Borrower and Guarantor with the provisions hereof will not involve any Prohibited Transaction. Neither Guarantor nor any Borrower has any pension, profit sharing, stock option, insurance or other arrangement or plan for employees covered by Title IV of ERISA, and no “Reportable Event” as defined in ERISA has occurred and is now continuing with respect to any such plan. The performance by each Borrower of such Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents and each Borrower’s conducting of its operations do not violate any provisions of ERISA. In addition, (a) no Borrower is a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, (b) transactions by or with any Borrower are not subject to any state statute regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 2(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (c) no Borrower, Guarantor or ERISA Affiliate is at the date hereof, or has been at any time within the two years preceding the date hereof, an employer required to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan, or a “contributing sponsor” (as such term is defined in section 4001 of ERISA) in any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan; and no Borrower, Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate has any contingent liability, other than COBRA continuation of coverage obligations imposed by state law, with respect to any post-retirement “welfare benefit plan” (as such term is defined in ERISA) except as disclosed to the Lender in writing.
4.1.10 Compliance. Each Borrower and the Property or Properties owned by such Borrower (including the use thereof) comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes. No Borrower is in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. To each Borrower’s actual knowledge, there has not been committed by any Borrower, or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of any Property, any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against one or more of the Properties or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of any Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Neither the Improvements as constructed at each Property, nor the use of any Property by tenants under the Leases and the contemplated accessory uses will violate (a) any Legal Requirements (including subdivision, zoning, building, environmental protection and wetland protection Legal Requirements), or (b) any building permits, restrictions or record, or agreements affecting any Property or any part thereof. Neither the zoning authorizations, approvals or variances nor any other right to construct or to use any Property is to any extent dependent upon or related to any real estate other than the applicable Property.
4.1.11 Financial Information. All financial data with respect to each Property and Guarantor, including, without limitation, the statements of Net Cash Flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of the Property identified therein and Guarantor as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared or audited by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in

 

49


 

accordance with GAAP (or another basis of accounting acceptable to Lender and consistently used) throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, no Borrower has any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to any Borrower and are reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on any Property or the operation thereof as a retail, office or a commercial property, as applicable, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no Material Adverse Change in the financial condition, operation or business of any Borrower or Guarantor from that set forth in said financial statements.
4.1.12 Condemnation. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to each Borrower’s best knowledge, is threatened or contemplated with respect to all or any portion of any Property or for the relocation of any roadway providing access to any Property.
4.1.13 Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any purposes prohibited by any Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
4.1.14 Utilities and Public Access. Each Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service such Property for its intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of each Property are located either in the public right-of-way abutting such Property (which are connected so as to serve such Property without passing over other property) or in recorded easements serving such Property. All roads necessary for the use of each Property for such Property’s current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities. There is no on site sewage disposal system and each Property is served by a sewer system maintained by a Governmental Authority or property owners association.
4.1.15 Not a Foreign Person. No Borrower is a “foreign person” within the meaning of §1445(f)(3) of the Code.
4.1.16 Separate Lots. Each Property is comprised of one (1) or more parcels which constitute a separate tax lot or lots and does not constitute a portion of any other tax lot not a part of such Property.
4.1.17 Assessments. Except as set forth in the Title Policy there are no pending or proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting any Property, nor are there any contemplated improvements to any Property that may result in such special or other assessments.

 

50


 

4.1.18 Enforceability. The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by any Borrower or Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and neither any Borrower nor Guarantor has asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.
4.1.19 No Prior Assignment. There are no prior assignments of any Borrower’s interest in the Leases or all or any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable which are presently outstanding.
4.1.20 Insurance. Each Borrower has obtained, or caused to be obtained, and has delivered, or caused to be delivered, to Lender insurance certificates in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, with all premiums paid thereunder, reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in this Agreement. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, no claims provided to Borrower relating to the Properties have been made or are currently pending, outstanding or otherwise remain unsatisfied under any such Policies, and no Person, including any Borrower, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of any such Policies.
4.1.21 Use of Property. Each of the Properties is used for a use permitted under the applicable Lease demising such Property and other appurtenant and related uses.
4.1.22 Certificate of Occupancy; Licenses. All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including without limitation, certificates of completion and occupancy permits (and any applicable liquor license) required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of each of the Properties by each applicable tenant under the applicable Lease for such Property (collectively, the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and effect. Each Borrower shall keep and maintain or cause to be kept and maintained all Licenses necessary for the operation of the Property or Properties owned by such Borrower as a retail, office or commercial property, as applicable. The use being made of each Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for such Property.
4.1.23 Flood Zone. Except as may be set forth in Schedule IX attached hereto, none of the Improvements on any of the Properties are located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area having special flood hazards categorized as Zone “A” or Zone “V” or, if so located, the flood insurance required pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) hereof is in full force and effect with respect to such Property.
4.1.24 Physical Condition. Except as set forth in the Physical Conditions Reports, each Property, including, without limitation, all buildings, improvements, parking facilities, sidewalks, storm drainage systems, roofs, plumbing systems, HVAC systems, fire protection systems, electrical systems, equipment, elevators, exterior sidings and doors, landscaping, irrigation systems and all structural components are in good condition, order and repair in all material respects. To each Borrower’s actual knowledge, there exists no structural

 

51


 

or other material defects or damages in any Property, whether latent or otherwise, and no Borrower has received any notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in any of the Properties, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond.
4.1.25 Boundaries. To each Borrower’s actual knowledge, except as set forth on the Surveys, all of the Improvements which were included in determining the appraised value of each of the Properties lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon any of the Properties, and no easements or other encumbrances upon any Property encroach upon any of the Improvements, so as to affect the value or marketability of such Property except those which are insured against by the applicable Title Insurance Policy, provided that to the extent any of such matters are shown on any survey, no such matter materially affects (i) the value of the applicable Property, (ii) access to such Property, or (iii) the use of such Property.
4.1.26 Leases. The Properties are not subject to any Leases other than the Leases described in Schedule II attached hereto and made a part hereof. No Property has more than one Lease, as of the date hereof (other than one or more subleases in effect at the Property, to the extent Borrowers have notified Lender of the existence of any such sublease as listed on Schedule II attached hereto or to the extent that any such sublease is set forth on Schedule B of the applicable Title Insurance Policy). The tenant under each Lease is currently operating its business within the Improvements demised thereby. Each Borrower is the owner and lessor of landlord’s interest in the Leases appurtenant to the Property or Properties owned by such Borrower. No Person has any possessory interest in any Property or right to occupy the same except under and pursuant to the provisions of the Leases. The current Leases are in full force and effect and, except as may be disclosed in any tenant estoppel certificates delivered to Lender there are no material defaults thereunder by either party and there are no conditions that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute material defaults thereunder (except for defaults which have been summarized on Schedule II attached hereto).

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1.2, to the extent the Lease with a tenant remains in effect and such tenant remains liable for the obligations under this Lease, such tenant shall have the right to exercise any contest rights set forth in such Lease in accordance with the terms thereof and, to the extent such rights conflict or are inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 5.1.2, the provisions set forth in such Lease shall govern and control, so long as no Governmental Authority commences any enforcement action in connection with the non-payment of any Taxes or Other Charges which could result in a transfer of title to the applicable Property, and in addition Borrower shall be responsible for any sums ultimately owed to any Governmental Authority in connection with any applicable Taxes or Other Charges (including any penalty payments, interest charges or similar monetary sums owed to such Governmental Authority).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Borrower shall enter into a Lease after the date hereof of all or substantially all of the Property or Properties owned by such Borrower without Lender’s prior written consent. Lender shall have the right to require each new tenant to execute and deliver to Lender a subordination, non disturbance of possession and attornment agreement in form, content and manner of execution reasonably acceptable to Lender.

5.1.21 Alterations. Each Borrower shall obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any alterations to any Improvements affecting the Property or Properties owned by such Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld except with respect to any alterations to any Improvements which may have a material adverse effect on any Borrower’s financial condition, the value of the Property intended to be subjected to such alterations or the Net Operating Income. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any (a) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease executed on or before the date hereof, (b) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease executed after the date hereof, provided that such Lease shall satisfy the requirements of Section 5.1.20, (c) alterations performed in connection with the Restoration of any Property after the occurrence of a Casualty or Condemnation in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or (d) alterations at any Property that will not have a material

 

66


 

adverse effect on any Borrower’s financial condition, the value of such Property or the Net Operating Income, provided that, in the case of clause (d), such alterations (i) are either work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease approved or deemed approved in accordance with the terms hereof, or the costs for such alterations are adequately covered in the current Approved Annual Budget applicable to such Property, (ii) do not adversely affect any structural component of any Improvements, any utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any building constituting a part of any Improvements, and (iii) the aggregate cost thereof does not exceed, for any Property in any annual period, the greater of: (A) ten percent (10%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for such Property or (B) Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to any Improvements at any one Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) shall at any time exceed twenty percent (20%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for such Property (the “Threshold Amount”), Borrowers shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for the Obligations any of the following: (i) cash, (ii) U.S. Obligations, (iii) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned to any Securities or any class thereof in connection with any Securitization, or (iv) either (x) a completion and performance bond and a guaranteed maximum priced contract (in form and substance satisfactory to Lender) for a general contractor (satisfactory to lender) or (y) an irrevocable letter of credit (payable on sight draft only) issued by a financial institution (A) having a rating by S&P of not less than “A-1+” if the term of such bond or letter of credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such term is in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial institution having a rating that is acceptable to Lender, and (B) that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned to any Securities or any class thereof in connection with any Securitization. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the applicable Improvements on the applicable Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and Lender may apply such security from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such alterations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1.21 to the contrary, it is acknowledged that the tenant at the Apria Health Care store in Indianapolis which is subject to a Lease with a Borrower, desires to make certain alterations and install certain tenant improvements more particularly described in Schedule XI attached hereto at tenant’s own expense, and it is acknowledged that such Borrower and such tenant shall not require any consent from Lender to install such alterations and tenant improvements, so long as such work is in accordance with such Schedule XI, provided Manager and/or the Borrower that owns such Property shall be responsible for taking commercially reasonable steps in causing such tenant to take appropriate corrective action if such alterations and tenant improvements fail to comply with applicable Legal Requirements and shall pursue appropriate remedies if such tenant permits any mechanic’s liens in respect of such work to be filed of record.
5.1.22 Operation of Properties. (a) Each Borrower shall cause the Property or Properties owned by such Borrower to be operated, in all material respects, in accordance with the applicable Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, as applicable. In the event that any Management Agreement expires or any Property is removed from the

 

67


 

application of the Management Agreement (without limiting any obligation of Borrowers to obtain Lender’s consent to any removal of any Property from the application of the Management Agreement or modification of any Management Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement), the Borrowers that own the affected Properties shall promptly enter into a Replacement Management Agreement with Manager or another Qualified Manager, as applicable. Each Borrower will promptly notify Lender if the tenant under any Major Lease ceases to operate its business within the Improvements demised by such Major Lease.
(b) Each Borrower shall: (i) promptly perform and/or observe in all material respects all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by it under any Management Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly notify Lender of any material default under any Management Agreement of which it is aware; (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, notice, report and estimate received by it under any Management Agreement; and (iv) enforce the performance and observance of all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed by Manager under any such Management Agreement, in a commercially reasonable manner.
5.1.23 Changes in the Legal Requirements Regarding Taxation. If any Legal Requirement or other law, order, requirement or regulation of any Governmental Authority is enacted or adopted or amended after the date the Loan is funded which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Obligations or Lender’s interest in any Property (other than an income tax), Borrowers must pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by any Borrower would be unlawful or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then in any such event, Lender may, by written notice to Borrowers of not less than ninety (90) days, declare the Obligations immediately due and payable.
5.1.24 No Credits on Account of the Obligations. No Borrower shall claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Obligations for any payment of Taxes assessed against any Property and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of any Property for real estate tax purposes because of the Loan Documents or the Obligations. If Legal Requirements or other laws, orders, requirements or regulations require such claim, credit or deduction, Lender may, by written notice to Borrowers of not less than ninety (90) days, declare the Obligations immediately due and payable.
5.1.25 Personal Property. Each Borrower shall cause all of its personal property, fixtures, attachments and equipment delivered upon, attached to or used in connection with the operation of the Property or Properties owned by such Borrower to always be located at the applicable Property or Properties owned by such Borrower and shall be kept free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances and security interests, except Permitted Encumbrances.
5.1.26 Appraisals. Lender shall have the right to obtain a new or updated appraisal of one or more of the Properties from time to time; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred Lender shall do so not more often than once in every twelve (12) month period. Borrowers shall cooperate with Lender in this regard. If the appraisal is required to be delivered by Borrowers under this Agreement or any applicable law or regulatory

 

68


 

requirement, or bank policy promulgated to comply therewith, or if an Event of Default exists, or if the Loan has been transferred to special servicing, Borrowers shall pay for any such appraisal upon Lender’s request; otherwise, any other appraisal obtained by Lender (except as otherwise specifically set forth in Sections 5.1.8, 5.1.9 and 9.6 hereof) shall be at Lender’s sole cost and expense.
Section 5.2 Negative Covenants. From the date hereof until payment and performance in full of the Obligations or, solely with respect to any particular Borrower that obtains the earlier release of the Lien of the Mortgage affecting all of such particular Borrower’s Property or Properties (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then exclusive of any such Borrower and such applicable Property so released, each Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that it will not do, directly or indirectly, any of the following:

(b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Borrower shall exercise any rights, make any decisions, grant any approvals or otherwise take any action under any Management Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion, provided that the forgoing restrictions shall not extend to the terms of the Management Agreement with regard to properties having owners separate from any Borrower.

No Borrower shall initiate or consent to any zoning reclassification of any portion of the Property or Properties owned by such Borrower or seek any variance under any existing zoning ordinance, or use or permit the use of any portion of the Property or Properties owned by such Borrower in any manner that could result in such use becoming a non-conforming use under any zoning ordinance or any other applicable land use law, rule or regulation, in each case, without the prior written consent of Lender.

interest in the Property or Properties owned by such Borrower as a result of such change of principal place of business or place of organization.
5.2.9 ERISA.

In the event an inadvertent Prohibited Transaction occurs, Borrowers will take all steps necessary to correct the Prohibited Transaction as soon as possible after having actual knowledge of the Prohibited Transaction.
(b) Each Borrower further covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested by Lender in its sole discretion, that (i) such Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA; (ii) such Borrower is not subject to any state statute regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans; and (iii) one or more of the following circumstances is true:

Each Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Properties so as to ensure that, should Borrowers default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Other Obligations contained in the Loan Documents, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of one or more of the Properties.

Cole, Cole Holdings Corporation, Cole Credit Property Trust I, Inc. or Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc. continues to Control the Restricted Party provided after giving effect to such transfer, the Person receiving such interest and each Restricted Party who shall exist following such transfer, shall be able to satisfy the requirements and representations set forth in Section 4.1.35, and Section 5.2.10(f), (v), (vii) and (viii), mutatis, mutandis and if the individual or individuals who have direct or indirect Control over the Person to whom such interests are to be transferred is someone other than Christopher H.

foreclosure), as applicable, in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. It shall be a condition of any such transfer specified in the foregoing clause (ii) that Lender shall have received a written confirmation from the parties to the Management Agreement that provides that all Properties, which are the subject of any such transfer or which are directly or indirectly owned by the Restricted Party and/or any member, partner or shareholder of any Restricted Party whose interest were the subject of any such transfer, shall have been removed from the application of such Management Agreement.

Upon the execution and delivery of any documents necessary to consummate such substitution, the original Guarantor shall be released from all liability and obligations under the Guaranty, the Environmental Indemnity and the other Loan Documents with respect to any acts or omissions after any such replacement guarantor shall have executed and delivered a replacement Guaranty and fulfilled all of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.
(e) Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon a Transfer without Lender’s consent.

In addition Borrower shall not obtain separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Section 6.1(a) to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, Borrower.
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name Borrowers as the insured under any Borrower Policy or as additional insureds under any Tenant Policy and Lender (and its affiliates), in either case, as the mortgagee and an additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall name Borrowers as the insured and Lender (and its affiliates) as mortgagee and loss payee under any Borrower Policy or Borrowers as certificate holders and Lender (and its affiliates) as mortgagee under any Tenant Policy.
(e) All Policies provided for in Section 6.1 shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, upon written notice to any Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties, as applicable, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrowers to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgages and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(g) To the extent that any portion of the Improvements consisting of an entire building separate in all respects from any other building comprising part of the Improvements is occupied by a single tenant, and such tenant provides insurance satisfying the requirements hereof with respect to such Improvements (including, without limitation, naming Lender as mortgagee on all property Policies, and as an additional insured or loss payee on all liability Policies, as applicable), such insurance shall satisfy, with respect to the corresponding Property, the obligations hereunder of the Borrower that owns such Property with the exception of loss of

 

80


 

rents (if the lease allows for rent abatement following damage to the Property) and liability coverage as a named insured, to be provided by Borrowers. In addition, provided no default shall exist under such tenant’s Lease, and further provided that such tenant (or the corporate guarantor of such tenant’s Lease) shall maintain a credit rating issued by S&P of BBB- or better (or an equivalent rating issued by another nationally recognized Rating Agency reasonably acceptable to Lender), such tenant shall be permitted to self-insure in accordance with its Lease with respect to the coverage required hereunder, and such self-insurance shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements hereof.
(h) Lender acknowledges that the insurance in place as of the date hereof, as evidenced by certificates of insurance provided by Borrowers and each tenant in connection with the closing of the Loan, shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing requirements of this Section 6.1 as in effect on the date hereof.

Borrowers shall pay (or cause to be paid) all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrowers. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing Restoration are equal to or greater than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) and Borrowers shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.

(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, 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 Restoration, Borrowers 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 Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations.
(vii) 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 Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrowers within two (2) Business Days thereafter, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required to be made available for Restoration (due to any Borrower’s inability to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) or otherwise), or to be returned to Borrowers as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii), may be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof toward reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, in the sole discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrowers for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its sole discretion. No prepayment charge or Yield Maintenance Premium shall be payable by Borrowers by reason of a Casualty or Condemnation.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of one or more of the Mortgages, or other transfer of title to one or more of the Properties in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of any Borrower in and to any Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning any such Property (other than to the extent those Policies provide liability coverages to such Borrower) and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or ambiguity between the provisions of Section 6.4 of this Agreement and the provisions of subsection 4 of Section 254 of the New York Real Property Law covering the insurance of buildings against loss by fire, the provisions of Section 6.4 of this Agreement shall control.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4, to the extent any Lease remains in effect and the tenant thereunder remains liable for the obligations under such Lease, the disposition of any Casualty insurance proceeds and any Award relating to the corresponding Property shall be governed by such Lease.

RESERVE FUNDS
Section 7.1 Required Repair Funds.
7.1.1 Deposits. Borrowers shall perform or cause to be performed the repairs at each Property as more particularly set forth on Schedule III hereto (such repairs hereinafter collectively referred to as “Required Repairs”). Borrowers shall complete the Required Repairs on or before the date that is 120 days from the date of this Agreement. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrowers do not complete the Required Repairs within said 120 day period. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs or toward reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. On the Closing Date, Borrowers shall deposit with Lender the amount of $199,036 for payment of the cost of the Required Repairs. Amounts so deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in accordance with Section 7.8 hereof. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrowers’ “Required Repair Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrowers’ “Required Repair Account”.
7.1.2 Release of Required Repair Funds. (a) Lender shall disburse to Borrowers the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time, but not more frequently than twice in any thirty (30) day period, upon satisfaction by Borrowers of each of the following conditions with respect to each disbursement: (A) Borrowers shall submit a written request for payment to Lender (with a copy to the Title Company) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which Borrowers request such payment be made, which request specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (B) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (C) Lender and the Title Company shall have received an Officer’s Certificate (i) stating that all Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied

by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the Required Repairs, (ii) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement, and (iii) stating that each such Person referred to in the preceding clause (ii) has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, for work completed and/or materials furnished to date, such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender and the Title Company, (D) at Lender’s option, Lender shall have received a title search indicating that the Property at which such Required Repair shall have been completed is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances, (E) at Lender’s option Lender shall have received an endorsement to the applicable Title Insurance Policy in the amount of the Required Repair Funds requested from the Required Repair Account in respect of such Property, which endorsement shall be acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion and (F) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrowers. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than $5,000 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account is less than $5,000, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made) and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2.
(b) Nothing in this Section 7.1.2 shall (i) make Lender responsible for performing or completing any Required Repairs; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Required Repairs Funds to complete any Required Repairs; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Required Repairs; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrowers additional sums to complete any Required Repairs.
(c) Each Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including Lender’s engineer, architect or inspector) or third parties to enter onto the Property or Properties owned by such Borrower during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Required Repairs and all materials being used in connection therewith and to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Required Repairs. Borrowers shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other Persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.1.2(c).
(d) If the aggregate cost of the work (to which any disbursement relates) will exceed $25,000.00 with respect to any Property, Lender may require an inspection of such Property at Borrowers’ expense prior to making a disbursement of Required Repairs Funds in order to verify completion of the Required Repairs for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and may require a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional architect reasonably acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of Required Repairs Funds. Borrowers shall pay the reasonable expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional architect.

 

87


 

(e) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrowers shall provide or cause to be provided worker’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with the Required Repairs. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
7.1.3 Balance in Required Repair Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Required Repair Account shall not relieve any Borrower from its obligation to perform (or cause to be performed) the Required Repairs in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all Legal Requirements.
Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow.
7.2.1 Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds.
(a) With respect to Policies which any Borrower is obligated to maintain hereunder (“Borrower Policies”), as long as blanket Borrower Policies (specifically permitted by this Agreement) are in effect, Borrowers shall not be required to make any payments under this Section 7.2 with respect to any Borrower Policies of amounts that would otherwise have been used to pay Insurance Premiums, subject to the following sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at such time, and from time to time, that any such blanket Borrower Policy (specifically permitted by this Agreement) is not in effect, in addition to any other rights and remedies which Lender may have hereunder, under the other Loan Documents, at law or in equity, Borrowers shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender shall then reasonably estimate will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by non-blanket Borrower Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such non-blanket Borrower Policies (each a “Monthly Borrower Insurance Payment”). In the event that Borrowers shall make Monthly Borrower Insurance Payments for at least one (1) year and Borrowers are then current in their Insurance Premiums and have coverage paid for at least the following six (6) months, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall return to Borrowers all of the Monthly Borrower Insurance Payments which have been paid to Lender and not otherwise previously applied during the continuance of any Event of Default, and Borrowers shall have no obligation to make any further Monthly Borrower Insurance Payments unless and until they fail to pay any Insurance Premium when due or are otherwise in default of their obligations to maintain any of the required Borrower Policies hereunder, in which event Monthly Borrower Insurance Payments shall again be payable hereunder.
(b) With respect to Policies which any non-Investment Grade Tenant is obligated to pay for under the terms of its Lease (as opposed to reimbursing the landlord under its Lease for such landlord’s payment of such item) (“Tenant Policies”), on the date hereof, Borrowers shall deposit with Lender, as additional collateral for the Obligations, $10,347, representing one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates would be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by all of such Tenant Policies at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration thereof (the “Original Tenant Insurance Deposit”). Other than the Original Tenant Insurance Deposit, Borrowers shall not be required to make any payments under this

 

88


 

Section 7.2 with respect to any Tenant Policies of amounts that would otherwise have been used to pay Insurance Premiums, subject to the following sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at such time, and from time to time, that any such Tenant Policy (specifically permitted by this Agreement) is not in effect, in addition to any other rights and remedies which Lender may have hereunder, under the other Loan Documents, at law or in equity, Borrowers shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender shall then reasonably estimate will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the applicable Tenant Policy(ies) upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the applicable Tenant Policy(ies) (each a “Monthly Tenant Insurance Payment”). In the event that Borrowers shall make Monthly Tenant Insurance Payments for at least one (1) year and the Insurance Premiums with respect to the applicable Tenant Policy(ies) are then current and such Tenant Policy(ies) has/have coverage paid for at least the following six (6) months, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall return to Borrowers all of the Monthly Tenant Insurance Payments which have been paid to Lender and not otherwise previously applied during the continuance of any Event of Default, but shall continue to retain the Original Tenant Insurance Deposit as additional collateral for the Obligations, and Borrowers shall have no obligation to make any further Monthly Tenant Insurance Payments unless and until the same or any other non-Investment Grade Tenant shall fail to pay any Insurance Premium for any Tenant Policy when due or shall otherwise default in its obligations to maintain any Tenant Policy, in which event Monthly Tenant Insurance Payments shall again be payable hereunder.
(c) With respect to Taxes which any non-Investment Grade Tenant is obligated to pay under the terms of its Lease (as opposed to reimbursing the landlord under its Lease for such landlord’s payment of such item) (“Tenant Taxes”), on the date hereof, Borrowers shall deposit with Lender, as additional collateral for the Obligations, $47,439, representing one-twelfth of all of such Tenant Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months if the same were to be paid at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates (the “Original Tenant Tax Deposit”). Other than the Original Tenant Tax Deposit, Borrowers shall not be required to make any payments under this Section 7.2 with respect to any Tenant Taxes, subject to the following sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at such time, and from time to time, that any Tenant Taxes are not paid when due, in addition to any other rights and remedies which Lender may have hereunder, under the other Loan Documents, at law or in equity, Borrowers shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date one-twelfth of the Tenant Taxes that Lender shall then reasonably estimate will be payable with respect to the applicable Property(ies) during the next ensuing twelve (12) months if the same were to be paid at least thirty (30) days prior to its/their due date(s) (each a “Monthly Tenant Tax Payment”). In the event that Borrowers shall make Monthly Tenant Tax Payments for at least one (1) year and all Tenant Taxes with respect to the applicable Property(ies) are then current, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall return to Borrowers all of the Monthly Tenant Tax Payments which have been paid to Lender and not otherwise previously applied during the continuance of any Event of Default, but shall continue to retain the Original Tenant Tax Deposit as additional collateral for the Obligations, and Borrowers shall have no obligation to make any further Monthly Tenant Tax Payments unless and until the same or any other non-Investment Grade Tenant shall fail to pay any Tenant Taxes when due, in which event Monthly Tenant Tax Payments shall again be payable hereunder.

 

89


 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.2, Borrowers shall not be required to make any payments under this Section 7.2 of amounts that would otherwise have been used to pay Taxes and/or Insurance Premiums with respect to Tenant Policies, in each of the foregoing instances relating to any Property if such Property is leased to an Investment Grade tenant and such tenant is required to pay such expenses directly pursuant to the terms of its Lease (as opposed to reimbursing the landlord under its Lease for such landlord’s payment of such items).
(e) The Original Tenant Insurance Deposit, the Original Tenant Tax Deposit, all Monthly Borrower Insurance Payments, if any, all Monthly Tenant Insurance Payments, if any, and all Monthly Tenant Tax Payments, if any, shall, for long as they are on deposit with Lender from time to time, be collectively hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds” for all purposes under this Agreement, and for any month during which any Monthly Borrower Insurance Payment, Monthly Tenant Insurance Payment and/or Monthly Tenant Tax Payment is payable, the aggregate sum of such Monthly Borrower Insurance Payment, Monthly Tenant Insurance Payment and/or Monthly Tenant Tax Payment that is payable for such month shall be collectively hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Monthly Deposit”.
7.2.2 Disbursements from Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds. The Tax and Insurance Escrow Monthly Deposit, if any, and the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrowers to Lender. In the event that Lender shall elect, in its sole discretion, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to apply any portion of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds to the payment of any Insurance Premiums or Taxes, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrowers. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of such Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that twelve (12) payments of its estimate of any Monthly Borrower Insurance Payment, Monthly Tenant Insurance Payment, and/or Monthly Tenant Tax Payment, would not be sufficient to pay the Taxes and/or Insurance Premiums relating to such Monthly Borrower Insurance Payment, Monthly Tenant Insurance Payment, and/or Monthly Tenant Tax Payment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date(s) thereof, Lender shall notify Borrowers of such determination and Borrowers shall increase Borrowers’ monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date(s) of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the applicable Policies, as the case may be.
Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Funds. Borrowers shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date $12,475.98 (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”), which amount shall be deposited with and held by Lender for replacements and repairs that Lender has reasonably estimated, in its sole discretion, will be required to be made to the Properties during the calendar year (collectively, the “Replacements”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to

 

90


 

as Borrowers’ “Replacement Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrowers’ “Replacement Reserve Account”. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Funds from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Account upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrowers if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Properties.
7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Funds for the cost of Replacements incurred by Borrowers upon satisfaction by Borrowers of each of the following conditions with respect to each such disbursement: (i) Borrowers shall submit Lender’s standard form of draw request for payment to Lender at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which Borrowers request such payment be made, which request shall specify the Replacements to be paid and shall be accompanied by copies of paid invoices for the amounts requested; (ii) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured; and (iii) Lender shall have received (1) an Officer’s Certificate from Borrowers (A) stating that the items to be funded by the requested disbursement are Replacements, and a description thereof, (B) stating that all Replacements to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, (C) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Replacements to be funded by the requested disbursement, (D) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, for work completed and/or materials furnished to date, (E) stating that the portion of the Replacements to be funded under such disbursement has not been funded under a prior disbursement, (F) stating that all previous disbursements of Replacement Reserve Funds have been used to pay the previously identified Replacements, and (G) stating that all outstanding trade payables relating to the Replacements (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement) have been paid in full, (2) a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required in connection with the Replacements and not previously delivered to Lender, (3) if required by Lender for requests in excess of $10,000 for a single item, lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment, (4) at Lender’s option, a title search for any Property at which Replacements were made indicating that such Property is free from all Liens, claims and other encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances and those previously approved by Lender, and (5) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request to demonstrate that the Replacements to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrowers. Lender shall make disbursements as requested by Borrowers twice per month in respect of all applicable Properties in increments of no less than $5,000 per disbursement. Lender may require an inspection of any Property at which Replacements were made at Borrowers’ expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of improvements in excess of $25,000 for which reimbursement is sought relating to such Properties.

 

91


 

7.3.3 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrowers from Borrowers’ obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
Section 7.4 Rollover Reserve.
7.4.1 Deposits to Rollover Reserve Funds. (a) Borrowers shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date $37,427.94 (the “Basic Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit”), which amounts shall be deposited with and held by Lender for Approved Leasing Expenses incurred following the date hereof. In addition, Borrowers shall pay to Lender for deposit with Lender those additional funds described in Section 7.4.1(b) hereof. All such amounts so deposited, together with all Conn’s Special Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposits, shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Rollover Reserve Funds” and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Rollover Reserve Account”.

Borrowers shall advise Lender at the time of receipt thereof of the nature of such receipt so that Lender shall have sufficient time to instruct the Cash Management Bank to deposit and hold such amounts in the Rollover Reserve Account pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement:
(i) All sums paid to any Borrower (other than sums paid to reimburse such Borrower for an out-of-pocket cost or expense incurred by Borrower with respect to the applicable item), with respect to (A) a modification of any Lease or otherwise paid in connection with any Borrower taking any action under any Lease (e.g., granting a consent) or waiving any provision thereof, (B) any settlement of claims of any Borrower against third parties in connection with any Lease; (C) any rejection, termination, surrender or cancellation of any Lease (including in any bankruptcy case) or any lease buy-out or surrender payment from any tenant (including any payment relating to unamortized tenant improvements and/or leasing commissions) (collectively “Lease Termination Payments”), and (D) any sum received from any tenant to obtain a consent to an assignment or sublet or otherwise, or any holdover rents or use and occupancy fees from any tenant or former tenant (to the extent not being paid for use and occupancy or holdover rent); and

Section 7.8 Reserve Funds, Generally.
(a) Each Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in all of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each account in which Reserve Funds are held as additional security for payment and performance of the Obligations. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance in any order in its sole discretion. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.
(b) No Borrower shall, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or

 

94


 

any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(c) The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account and shall bear interest at a money market rate selected by Lender. All interest or other earnings on any of the Reserve Funds (other than the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds) shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Funds and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other amounts comprising such Reserve Funds. Borrowers shall, collectively, have the right to direct Lender to invest sums on deposit in the Eligible Account in Permitted Investments provided (i) such investments are then regularly offered by Lender for accounts of this size, category and type, (ii) such investments are permitted by applicable federal, state and local rules, regulations and laws, (iii) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which the applicable Reserve Funds are required for payment of an obligation for which such Reserve Funds were created, and (iv) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Borrowers shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest or income earned on the Reserve Funds that is credited or paid to Borrowers. No other investments of the Reserve Funds shall be permitted except as set forth in this Section 7.8. Borrowers shall bear all reasonable costs associated with the investment of the sums in the account in Permitted Investments. Such costs shall be deducted from the income or earnings on such investment, if any, and to the extent such income or earnings shall not be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by Borrowers promptly on demand by Lender.

Each Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims any such Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
(e) Any Reserve Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall be paid, (i) if the Mezzanine Loan is still outstanding, as a distribution permitted under applicable law, to Mezzanine Lender to be held by Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the Mezzanine Loan Agreement for purposes similar to those for which such Reserve Funds were originally held hereunder, or (ii) if the Mezzanine Loan is no longer outstanding, then to Borrowers.
(f) Upon the completion of any Property Sale and Borrowers’ satisfaction of the terms and provisions of Section 2.6.1 hereof, there shall be an adjustment to the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Monthly Deposit, the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit (which will be recalculated based on the following formula: (a) $0.25 multiplied by (b) the aggregate square footage in the Improvements on the remaining Properties, as shown on Schedule III) and the Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit (which will be recalculated based on (a)

$0.75 multiplied by (b) the aggregate square footage of the remaining Properties as such square footage is shown on Schedule III)so that the area of the applicable Property or Properties released in accordance with Section 2.6.1 hereof shall not be used in calculating the amount of such deposits.

98


 

Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against any Borrower and in and to any Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against any Borrower and any Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all Other Obligations of Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and each Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.2 Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to Section 9.4, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against any Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, such Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Properties. Subject to Section 9.4, any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing and to the fullest extent permitted by law (i) Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against all of the Properties and all of the Mortgages have been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Obligations have been paid in full.
(b) With respect to each Borrower and each Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Properties for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of one or more of the Properties, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose one or all of the Mortgages in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgages then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event any Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgages as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, each of the Properties shall remain subject to the applicable Mortgages to secure payment of sums secured by such Mortgages and not previously recovered.

 

99


 

(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, Mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Each Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and provided that such severance agreement and other documents incorporate the provisions of Section 9.4. Each Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, each Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until ten (10) days after notice has been given to such Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) no Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and (ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by each Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(d) Intentionally omitted.
(e) Any amounts recovered from one or more of the Properties or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal amount of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
(f) If an Event of Default exists, Lender may (directly or by its agents, employees, contractors, engineers, architects, nominees, attorneys or other representatives), but without any obligation to do so and without notice to any Borrower and without releasing any Borrower from any obligation hereunder, cure the Event of Default in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Subject to tenants rights under the Leases, Lender (and its agents, employees, contractors, engineers, architects, nominees, attorneys or other representatives) are authorized to enter upon each of the Properties to cure such Event of Default, and Lender is authorized to appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding reasonably necessary to maintain, secure or otherwise protect one or more of the Properties or the priority of the Liens granted by the Mortgages.
(g) Lender may appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to any Property and may bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of any Borrower, which Lender, in its reasonable discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in one or more of the Properties.
(h) The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and, subject to Section 9.4, not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which

 

100


 

Lender may have against any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to any Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by any Borrower (including such Borrower that received such initial waiver) or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
ARTICLE 9
SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 Sale of Notes and Securitization. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”). At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by any Borrower under this Agreement, each Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by Lender or take other actions reasonably required by Lender, in each case in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization including, without limitation, to use reasonable efforts to:
(a) provide additional and/or updated Provided Information, together with appropriate verification and/or consents related to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys reasonably acceptable to Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies;
(b) assist in preparing descriptive materials for presentations to any or all of the Rating Agencies, and work with, and if requested, supervise, third-party service providers engaged by Borrowers and approved by Lender, any Principal and their respective Affiliates to obtain, collect, and deliver information requested or required by Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies;
(c) deliver (i) updated opinions of counsel as to non-consolidation, due execution and enforceability with respect to the Properties, Borrowers, Principals, Mezzanine Borrower, Guarantor and their respective Affiliates and the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, a so-called “10b-5” opinion and (ii) revised organizational documents for each Borrower, which counsel opinions and organizational documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies;

 

101


 

(d) if required by any prospective investor and/or any Rating Agency, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Properties, which estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies;
(e) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the Properties, Borrowers, Mezzanine Borrower Principal, Guarantor and the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents;
(f) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be requested by Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization and/or deliver one or more new component notes to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan (and such new notes or modified note shall have the same initial weighted average coupon of the original note, but such new notes or modified note may change the interest rate and amortization of the Loan), and modify the Cash Management Agreement with respect to the newly created components such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan; provided that, no such amendment shall (i) modify or amend any material economic term of the Loan (except as permitted under Section 9.8 below), or (ii) materially increase the obligations, or decrease the rights, of any Borrower under the Loan Documents;
(g) if requested by Lender, review any information regarding the Properties, Borrowers, Guarantor, the Manager and the Loan which is contained in a preliminary or final private placement memorandum, prospectus, prospectus supplement (including any amendment or supplement to either thereof), or other disclosure document to be used by Lender or any Affiliate thereof; and
(h) supply to Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports in form and substance required in order to comply with any applicable securities laws.
All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by any Borrower or Lender in connection with any Borrower’s complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by Borrowers.
Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification. (a) Each Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to

 

102


 

be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, each Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.
(b) The Indemnifying Persons agree to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an indemnification agreement (i) certifying that (A) the Indemnifying Persons have carefully examined the Disclosure Documents, including, without limitation, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgages,” “Description of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Properties,” “The Manager,” “Borrowers” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan,” (to the extent such information relates to or includes any Provided Information or any information regarding the Properties, Borrowers, Guarantor, Manager, and/or other information in the possession of or obtainable by Manager, Borrowers or Guarantor from their counsel, any agent or any other vendor which have such information in their possession) and (B) such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to or includes any Provided Information or any information regarding the Properties, Borrowers, Guarantor, Manager and/or the Loan) (collectively with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) subject to Section 9.4 hereof, jointly and severally indemnifying The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (whether or not it is Lender), any Affiliate of The Royal Bank of Scotland plc that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of The Royal Bank of Scotland plc that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including without limitation reasonable legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations) (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities (C) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any of the Disclosure Documents, but only to the extent based upon Provided Information or (D) arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (iii) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrowers may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall be effective whether or not a separate indemnification agreement described in clause (i) above is provided.
(c) Intentionally Omitted.

 

103


 

(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying Person in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person other than under the provisions of this Section 9.2. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify any Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from any Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to any Indemnifying Person.
(e) Without the prior written consent of Lender and, to the extent applicable, The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought or may be reasonably expected to be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the Indemnifying Person shall have given Lender and The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, as applicable, reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. As long as an Indemnifying Person has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(f) The Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be

 

104


 

unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph (f) exceed the amount of the fees (by underwriting discount or otherwise) actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan or the Securitization.
(g) The Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.
(h) The rights, liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Borrower shall have any obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.
Section 9.3 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 9.4 Exculpation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents but subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrowers to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against any Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, or in the Properties, the Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrowers only to the extent of each such Borrower’s interest in the Properties, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages and the other

 

105


 

Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against any Borrower in any such action or proceeding under, or by reason of, or in connection with, the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name any Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgages; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any Guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignments of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender seeking a deficiency judgment against any Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgages or commencing any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against one or more of the Properties; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrowers, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:
(i) fraud or willful misrepresentation by or on behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor or any Affiliate of any of them in connection with the Loan or any of the Properties;

Section 10.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 10.10 Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments made by any Borrower to any portion of the Debt provided such reapplication is consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives, and shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to such Borrower and except with respect to matters for which any Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.
Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrowers. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as

 

114


 

the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, each Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and each Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Further it is agreed Lender shall not be in default under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Document, unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of any Borrower shall have been given to Lender within sixty (60) days after such Borrower first had knowledge of the occurrence of the event which such Borrower alleges gave rise to such claim and Lender does not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, promptly thereafter.
Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Each Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if any Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrowers (including, without limitation, any opinions reasonably requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Properties); (ii) any Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with each Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents requested by any Borrower or otherwise required hereunder and any other documents or matters requested by any Borrower or otherwise required hereunder; (iv) securing any Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (v) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all reasonably required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vi) subject to Section 9.4 hereof, enforcing or preserving any rights, either in response to third party claims or in prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting any Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any of the Properties, or any other security given for the Loan; and (vii) subject to Section 9.4 hereof, enforcing any Obligations of or collecting any payments due from any Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to any Property or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Lockbox Account. It is further acknowledged that to the extent any of the foregoing costs and expenses are incurred by Lender in connection with a restructuring of the Loan pursuant to Sections 9.8(a) and (b) above, then the payment by Borrowers of such costs and expenses under this Section 10.13 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.8(c).

 

115


 

(b) Subject to Section 9.4 hereof, each Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any material breach by any Borrower of its Obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by any Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan, or (iii) the indemnity granted by Lender under Paragraph 6 of the Lockbox Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that no Borrower shall have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, each Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that such Borrower is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
(c) Each Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if any Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.

Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which any Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by any Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by each Borrower.
Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries. (a) Each Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender.

116


 

(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrowers and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and each Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by any Borrower or any Borrower’s Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender.
Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.

Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. Each Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same.

In the event or to the extent that Mezzanine Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is

 

119


 

legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates but breaches such obligation, then such Borrower shall not be in breach of this provision so long as such Borrower furnishes to Lender estoppels executed by Mezzanine Borrower, each expressly representing to Lender the information requested by Lender regarding the status of the Mezzanine Loan and the compliance by Mezzanine Borrower with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents. Subject to Section 9.4 hereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought and settlement costs) and reasonable disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, actually incurred by, or asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or circumstances relating to the Mezzanine Loan which was misrepresented in any material respect by any Borrower in, or which warrants disclosure and was omitted from such estoppel executed by Mezzanine Borrower.
Section 11.3 Intercreditor Agreement.

(Release Price Calculation Example)
Assume:
1. The total prior Released Allocated Loan Amounts as of the anticipated date of the Property Sale proposed in a Sale Request is $10,000,000;
2. The Allocated Loan Amount for the Property that is the subject of the proposed Property Sale is $1,000,000; and
3. The Release Price Threshold Amount is $10,325,000.
Calculation:
The $1,000,000 Allocated Loan Amount for the Property that is the subject of the proposed Property Sale would be split so that:
(a) $325,000 would be multiplied by 115% (which equals $373,750); and
(b) The remaining balance of $675,000 would be multiplied by 120% (which equals $810,000)
Therefore, the Release Price would equal $1,183,750.
