(b) Promptly following Lender’s receipt of a Release Request, Lender shall determine the release price (the “Release Price”) payable for the Subgroup described in the Release Request, which shall be an amount equal to one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the then remaining Principal Allocation for such Subgroup based upon the Allocation Percentage for such Subgroup multiplied by the then outstanding aggregate principal balance of the Pooled Loans (“Amortized Pooled Loans Principal Balance”). The amount obtained by multiplying the Amortized Pooled Loans Principal Balance by the Allocation Percentage shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Property Payoff Amount.” This would be a par payoff amount. The difference obtained by subtracting the Property Payoff Amount from the Release Price (i.e. the excess portion of the Release Price above par, attributable to the Release Factor exceeding 100%) shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Cross Paydown Amount.” For example, if Borrower submitted a request for a release of Subgroup 1 in accordance with the conditions herein set forth, the calculation would be as follows:

 

(i)   Release Price   =   115%   ×   Property Payoff Amount
    and      
(ii)   Property Payoff Amount   =   31 ###-###-####%   ×   Amortized Pooled Loans Principal Balance
(iii)   Assuming an aggregate principal balance of $26,600,000, the Property (1) release price would be calculated as:
  1.15   ×   0 ###-###-####   ×   $26,600,000 =  $9,716,437.40

(c) Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Note due as of the date of such release;

(d) In addition to the Release Price, Borrower also shall pay to Lender, simultaneously with the Release Price, the Prepayment Premium on such Release Price (but no Prepayment Premium will be applied to the Cross Paydown Amount portion of the Release Price);

(e) Lender shall apply the Release Price first to the payment of the Loan, and then Lender shall have the right to apply the Cross Paydown portion of the Release Price to the Loan or the Affiliate Loans in such manner as Lender may determine in its sole discretion;

(f) After Lender has applied the Release Price to the Loan, Lender shall redetermine and reallocate the Allocation Percentages and redetermine the Principal Allocations for the remaining Pooled Properties, in its sole discretion, and shall advise Borrower in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Release Request as to the amounts of the reallocated Allocation Percentages and Principal Allocations;

(g) After the Lender has applied the Release Price to the Loan and the Affiliate Loans, Borrower shall enter into a release and modification instrument prepared by Lender’s counsel in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (“Modification”) which releases the subject Subgroup from the Mortgage and Second Mortgage and modifies the Loan and/or Affiliate Loan(s) to which the Cross Paydown amount was applied to reflect the partial paydown on such loan and to re-amortize the Loan and/or Affiliate Loan(s) over the then remaining amortization period thereunder. If required by Lender, the Modification shall be recorded in the real estate records for the Property and Affiliate Property;

 

8


 

(h) Borrower shall pay all costs, fees and expenses associated with the Release Privilege, including without limitation, one hundred percent (100%) of all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Lender in connection therewith, title endorsements, recording charges and all such sums shall be due and payable on the date of closing and delivery of the release documentation by Lender;

(i) Lender shall receive, at Borrower’s expense, a title date down endorsement to the policy for the Loan and Affiliate Loans bringing forward the effective date through the date and time of recording of the Modification, continuing forward the coverage and endorsements from closing and containing no new exceptions since closing of the Loan and Affiliate Loans other than those expressly permitted in the Loan Documents. No Loan or Affiliate Loans to which the Cross Paydown is applied shall be re-amortized if no date down endorsement is available in the state in which that collateral property is located;

(j) To the extent not already existing, Borrower shall have created easements for utilities, signage, drainage, parking, ingress and egress and other appropriate purposes in, on and over any released parcel for the benefit of any adjoining remaining parcels to the extent deemed necessary by Lender for the Property released and remaining Property to effectively operate separately and such easements shall be insured as appurtenances in Lender’s loan policy via the endorsement required in Section 3.07(i). The required easements shall include, without limitation, parking sufficient to meet all tenant lease requirements for tenants of the remaining tract;

(k) The Aggregate Project Yield (as hereinafter defined) for the combined Pooled Loans after the release shall not fall below 14%, or one or more of the Pooled Loans shall be paid down concurrently with the release in an amount sufficient to cause such requirement to be met, together with payment of any then Applicable Prepayment Premium (as hereinafter defined) calculated as to the excess amount above the Release Price being prepaid only. As used herein, “Aggregate Project Yield” shall mean the aggregate Net Operating Income (as defined in the Mortgage) for all Affiliate Properties which secure the unpaid Affiliate Loans divided by the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Affiliate Notes. “Applicable Prepayment Premium” shall mean the prepayment premium calculated using the same methodology as the Prepayment Premium (as defined in the Note) except that the Applicable Prepayment Premium shall not be based on a full prepayment, as contemplated in the Note, but shall be calculated only on the amount of principal so prepaid (and no Prepayment Premium will be applied to the Cross Paydown Amount); and

(l) Borrower shall not request a release of Pooled Properties in total that reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Pooled Loans after the releases to less than $9,350,000 in the aggregate without paying the Pooled Loans in full subject to the terms and conditions in the Loan Documents.

Section 3.08 Substitution of Loan. Notwithstanding any prepayment provisions in the Loan Documents, the provisions of Section 3.07 of this Agreement and Paragraph 30 of the Mortgage to the contrary, Borrower may request that Lender permit Borrower to prepay the Loan in full or in part (subject to the terms of Section 3.07 herein) at par from the proceeds of a substitute first mortgage loan (“Substitute Loan”) to be funded by Lender to Borrower and secured by a substitute property owned in fee simple as provided below (which was not previously a property securing the Loan) (each a “Substitute Property”) and to obtain a release of the Property from the Security Documents upon and subject to the following terms and conditions (“Substitution”):

(a) Borrower must submit a written request (“Substitution Request”) to Lender for the proposed Substitute Loan identifying the proposed Substitute Property at least sixty (60) days prior to the proposed closing date for the Substitution. Lender shall evaluate the request for the proposed Substitute Loan and the proposed Substitute Property in its sole discretion pursuant to its then customary underwriting and pricing criteria. The amount of the Substitute Loan requested must be at least the amount of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan, or if the Substitute Loan is a lesser amount, the difference shall be subject to payment of any Prepayment Premium, then applicable, calculated as to the excess amount being prepaid only. Lender may review such items as it may require in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, location, occupancy, lease term, rollover, tenant exposure, and tenant’s credit.

(b) The owner of the Substitute Property (and borrower under the Substitute Loan) must be either (1) the Borrower (such that the Substitute Property is owned 100% by the same borrower entity as owned the Property at the time immediately prior to closing of the Substitution), or (2) a single asset affiliate of Borrower having the identical beneficial ownership structure and management control as the Borrower.

(c) The Substitute Property must be of the same nature and character as the Property, which must be an industrial building. Under no circumstances shall Lender permit any special purpose properties (for example, hotels, motels, mobile home parks, health or senior care facilities). The Substitute Property must be located in the continental United States.

(d) Lender in its sole discretion shall acknowledge within ten (10) business days of the Lender’s receipt of the Substitution Request whether the proposed Substitute Property appears to be acceptable to permit the Substitution based on the requirements herein. If in the Lender’s sole discretion it is determined that the proposed Substitute Property is equal to or greater in quality than the Property, then Lender, through its then loan correspondent/servicer, will process the Borrower’s formal request to make the Substitute Loan. The proposal will be reviewed by and presented to Lender’s and ING Investment Management LLC’s investment review committee pursuant to each of their then current commercial mortgage loan policies, practices, standards and procedures for approval in their sole and absolute discretion. If the investment review committee approves the formal request for Substitute Loan and Substitute Property, the Substitution will be subject to the other conditions outlined herein.

(e) No more than two (2) Substitution Requests shall be considered and closed during the entire term of the Loan or Substitute Loan and no more than one (1) Substitution Request shall be considered during any October 1 through September 30 period.

(f) Borrower shall pay a processing fee equal to $50,000 (“Processing Fee”) and be payable to Lender ($25,000) and to Lender’s loan correspondent/servicer ($25,000) at closing of each and every approved Substitution. A substitution deposit of $10,000 (“Substitution Deposit”) shall be required with submission of the Substitution Request, which deposit shall be applied to the Processing Fee at closing of the Substitution and to be returned if Lender does not approve the Substitute Property. The Substitution Deposit and Processing Fee contemplated by this subsection are in addition to outside counsel attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in the preparation, negotiation, documentation, due diligence review and closing of such Substitution.

(g) All improvements on the Substitute Property shall have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable governmental requirements prior to closing of the Substitution. The Substitute Property must be lien free and all land, improvements and personal property paid for in full.

(h) The appraised fair market “As Is” value of the Substitute Property shall be equal to or greater than the original appraised value of the Property as set forth in the appraisal delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan. The fair market “As Is” value of the Property and Substitute Property shall be determined by a firm of appraisers selected by Borrower and approved by the Lender, based on an MAI appraisal satisfactory to Lender, dated not more than ninety (90) days prior to the closing of the Substitution Loan. All costs of such appraisals shall be paid by the Borrower on or prior to the closing of the Substitution Loan.

(i) The Substitution Property Yield (as defined below) relating to the Substitute Property (based upon the trailing twelve (12) month financial results or such shorter period, as Lender deems appropriate, for a Substitute Property opened for less than one (1) year) shall equal or exceed the Project Yield relating (based upon the trailing twelve (12) month financial results or such shorter period, as Lender reasonably deems appropriate, for any Substitute Property opened for less than one (1) year) to the Property. As used herein “Substitution Property Yield” shall mean the actual Net Operating Income divided by the original principal balance of the Substitute Loan.

(j) Lender’s outside counsel shall prepare and Borrower (or the new borrower permitted in Section 3.08 (b) herein) shall execute a new note, deed of trust, mortgage, assignment of rents and leases, loan agreement, environmental indemnities, tax and insurance escrows, borrower’s certificate, and all other loan documents Lender shall deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, modification of the existing Loan Documents (all of which shall be substantially in the form of the applicable documents executed in connection with the Loan with such changes thereto as Lender reasonably deems appropriate to reflect the terms and circumstances of the Substitution Loan and Substitute Property) (collectively, the “Substitute Loan Documents”). The Substitute Loan Documents shall be cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with the existing Loan Documents for the Loan and with the Affiliate Loans on the same basis as the original Property on the date of this Agreement.

(k) Borrower shall be required to supply for Lender’s review and approval due diligence materials prior to closing of the Substitution Loan including those items required for closing of the Loan, and such other materials as may then be customarily required as part of its then current commercial loan closing policies, procedures, standards and practices for properties of similar type and in similar locations as the Substitute Property, including, without limitation, a current as-built ALTA survey, proof of adequate insurance, title insurance in conformance with the requirements of the Loan, proof of compliance with governmental regulations, tenant estoppel certificates, and subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements. At the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, Lender shall receive for review and approval all additional due diligence materials in any way relating to the Substitute Property, including but not limited to, an MAI appraisal, hazardous substance report, engineer report and seismic report as required by Lender in its sole discretion. The items listed in this section are not exhaustive.

(l) The Substitute Loan Documents, financing statements and other instruments required to perfect the liens in the Substitute Property and all collateral under such documents shall have been recorded, registered and filed (as applicable) in such manner as may be required by law to create a valid, perfected lien and security interest with respect to the Substitute Property and the personal property related thereto. The liens created by the Substitute Loan Documents shall be first liens and security interests on the Substitute Property and the personal property related thereto, subject only to such exceptions as Lender shall approve in its sole discretion. At closing of the Substitution Loan, the Borrower (or other new borrower permitted under Section 3.08(b) herein) shall have good and marketable title to the Substitute Property and good and valid title to any personal property located

 

11


thereon or used in connection therewith, in each case satisfactory to the Lender. The title policies to the Affiliate Loans must also be endorsed to bring forward the effective date thereof through the dates and times of recording of the modification instruments and showing no new exceptions since the original Loan and Affiliate Loan closings unless approved by Lender in writing and continuing all coverage provided in the original loan title policies.

(m) Lender shall receive (1) a confirmation and reaffirmation of all Loan Documents by the Borrower for the other properties in the Loan, (2) a consent to such Substitution by any “Carve-Out” or other guarantors or indemnitors, if any, and (3) such other instruments and agreements and such certificates and opinions of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender in connection with such Substitution as it may reasonably request.

(n) Borrower shall consider all implications for documentary stamp and intangible taxes on the Substitution and the Mortgage, the Second Security Instruments and the security instruments securing the Affiliate Loans that shall arise in connection with such Substitution. Lender shall require payment of all such documentary stamp and intangibles taxes required by law and authorities having jurisdiction as a condition of closing the Substitution and the corresponding loan modifications to the Loan and Affiliate Loans, regardless of whether the taxing authority imposes taxes duplicative of those incurred at the original closings.

(o) No default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder or under any other Loan Documents for the Loan or Affiliate Loans on the date of Substitution Request or at closing of the Substitution.

(p) Lender shall be satisfied that no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations or prospects of Borrower and any guarantors of the Loan is occurring as of proposed Substitution date. Lender shall be entitled to request copies of financial statements and such other financial information as it shall reasonably require in order to assess the financial status of the Borrower (or new borrower as permitted pursuant to Section 3.08(b) herein) and to determine and/or estimate the solvency of such entity prior to and following the closing of the Substitution. Lender shall not be required to close a proposed Substitution in the event it reasonably determines that the Borrower (or new borrower permitted under Section 3.08(b) herein) is or, upon completion of the Substitution, may become insolvent within the meaning of the term under the federal bankruptcy code.

(q) The Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such Substitution and the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Lender, its outside counsel and its loan correspondent and loan servicer in connection therewith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall, in connection with, and as a condition to, each Substitution, pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Lender’s counsel, the reasonable fees and expenses of Lender’s engineers, appraisers, construction consultants, insurance consultants and other due diligence consultants and contractors, recording charges, title insurance charges, and stamp and/or mortgage or similar taxes, transfer taxes.

(r) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may temporarily substitute an unconditional, irrevocable Letter of Credit (“LOC”) in the amount of the Release Price in lieu of providing Substitute Property in the event Borrower cannot find an acceptable Substitute Property. However, in no event can the loan to value (as reasonably determined by Lender) of the remaining collateral for Affiliate Loans, excluding the LOC exceed 75%. Borrower shall have 12 months from the date the Property is released as collateral for the Loan in which to find acceptable Substitute Property. If Borrower is unable to find acceptable Substitute Property within said 12 months, Lender shall have the

 

12


right to apply the proceeds of the LOC to the outstanding Loan balance consistent with the Property Release Privilege provisions in Section 3.07 above and is subject to the applicable Prepayment Premium. Lender shall have the right to approve the terms of the LOC and the issuer thereof.

(s) Any portion of the Property involved in a Substitution will be released per “Subgroup” (as delineated in Section 3.07(a) herein) only and not on an individual property basis, unless such Subgroup contains only one property.

Section 3.09 Letter of Credit. In the event Lender requires or agrees to accept a letter of credit in satisfaction of any requirement herein, said letter of credit and any extension, renewal, or replacement thereof shall be an unconditional, irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank approved by Lender and in substance and form acceptable to Lender. Said letter of credit shall not contain any conditions for its cashing beyond presentation by its authorized representative. Its term shall be for not less than three (3) months beyond the end of the time period, or any extension thereof, specified by Lender for satisfaction of such requirement.

Section 3.10 Prohibition on Dry Cleaners. Borrower shall not, during the term of the Pooled Loans, conduct or permit any tenant to conduct any dry cleaning operations on or at the Property other than pick-up and drop-off operations.

Borrower is a limited partnership duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the state of its incorporation or organization.

Borrower has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnification Agreement, to perform its obligations under such Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnification Agreement and to own its property and carry on its business.

Each of the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnification Agreement constitutes a valid obligation of Borrower, legally binding upon and enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity.

Borrower covenants and agrees that it will keep and maintain books and records of account as required in Paragraph 25 of the Mortgage.

If Borrower omits to deliver, or to cause to be delivered, as required any report or statement required by this Section 4.02, and said omission is not cured by Borrower within thirty (30) days after written notice of such omission has been given by Lender to Borrower, Lender may elect, in

 

13


addition to exercising any remedy for an Event of Default hereunder and as provided for in the Security Instruments, to make an audit of all books and records of Borrower including their respective bank accounts which in any way pertain to the Property, and, in such event, Borrower shall cause such books and records to be made available to Lender upon request, and to prepare the statement or statements which Borrower failed to procure and deliver. Such audit shall be made and such statement or statements shall be prepared by an independent certified public accountant to be selected by Lender.

Section 4.03 Actions Pending. There is no action, suit, investigation or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against Borrower, the Property or any other properties, assets or rights of Borrower, by or before any court, arbitrator or administrative or governmental body which, if adversely determined, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.06 Conflicting Agreements and Other Matters. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, nor fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, will conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in any violation of, or result in the creation of any Lien (other than any Lien arising under any Loan Document) upon the Property or any other properties or assets of Borrower, the charter or by-laws or other organizational documents of Borrower, any award of any arbitrator or any agreement, instrument, order, judgment, decree, statute, law, rule or regulation to which Borrower, the Property or any other properties or assets of Borrower is subject.

Except for any recording or filing which may be required by applicable law to perfect or maintain the perfection of Lender’s Liens in the Collateral, no consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration or filing with, any governmental authority is required for the valid execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

Section 4.08 Disclosure. Neither this Agreement nor any other document, certificate or statement prepared by Borrower and furnished to Lender in connection herewith contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein and therein not materially misleading.

The Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnification Agreement have been complied with and are in full force and effect and no defaults or events of default exist thereunder; Borrower has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances, which with the giving of notice or passage of time (or both) would constitute a default or event of default thereunder, and all obligations and agreements required to be performed by Borrower thereunder have been performed.

Section 4.12 Compliance with Requirements. Except as disclosed in engineering or other consultant reports delivered to Lender prior to the date of this Agreement, to Borrower’s knowledge, the Improvements have been constructed free from faults and defects, and in all respects conform to and comply with all valid and applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and rules of all governmental entities having jurisdiction over, and all covenants, conditions, restrictions and reservations affecting the Land and the Improvements (the “Requirements”).

Under the applicable zoning ordinance of each jurisdiction in which each parcel of Land is located, each parcel of Land is zoned in a zoning classification that permits the use of the Land and Improvements for all purposes as currently used, without any conditions other than with respect to which such conditions have been complied in full and without exception.

(a) The occurrence of an event of default (after expiration of applicable notice or cure periods) under the Security Instruments or any of the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement.

(b) Should any Default occur in the performance or observance of any term, condition or provision contained in this Agreement which does not relate to the nonpayment of any monetary sum, which Default shall continue for thirty (30) days after Lender gives Borrower written notice thereof, provided, however, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended as reasonably necessary (but in no event for a period in excess of sixty (60) additional days) until the completion of such cure, so long as Borrower is diligently and with continuity of effort pursuing such cure and the Default is susceptible of cure within said additional period of sixty (60) days.

(b) Take all, any or any combination of the actions Lender may take under any of the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement upon the occurrence of a default or an event of default thereunder, notwithstanding the fact that the event that is an Event of Default hereunder may not constitute a default or an event of default under any such other Loan Document or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement, including, without limitation acceleration of the Obligations evidenced by the Note and foreclosure and sale of the Land and the Improvements under the Security Instruments.

 

19


 

(c) Perform, or cause to be performed, any obligation, covenant or agreement that Borrower has failed to perform or comply with, and in such event all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in performing any such obligation, covenant or agreement shall be added to the Obligations and shall be secured by the Security Instruments, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date paid or incurred by Lender, and the interest thereon shall also be added to and become a part of the Obligations and shall be secured by the Security Instruments.

(d) Continue to act, with respect to Borrower and the Loan, as if no Event of Default had occurred, which continuance shall not be or be construed as a waiver of Lender’s rights; and assert the Event of Default and take any action provided for herein at any time after the occurrence and during the existence of the Event of Default.

(e) Proceed as authorized by law to obtain payment of the Loan.

(f) Take all, any, or any combination of the actions Lender may take under applicable law or equity subject to the limitations on liability of Borrower contained herein and in the Note and the Security Instruments.

All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any of the actions authorized in this Article, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, shall be and constitute a portion of the Loan, secured in the same manner and to the same extent as the Loan, even though such costs and expenses may cause the amount of the Loan to exceed the face amount of the Note. Whenever the terms of this Agreement require Borrower to pay attorneys’ fees of Lender, such obligation shall extend only to reasonable attorneys’ fees, without regard to statutory interpretations, actually incurred at normal hourly rates.

Section 7.04 Remedies Cumulative. The foregoing remedies are cumulative of, and in addition to, and not restrictive or in lieu of, the other remedies provided for herein and the remedies provided for or allowed by the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement, or provided for or allowed by law, or in equity.

(b) All representations and warranties made herein, in the certificates, reports, notices, and other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Environmental Indemnification Agreement, and such other agreements and documents, the making of the Loan hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Note, and shall terminate at such time as the Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full; provided, however, that the Environmental Indemnification Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof notwithstanding any payment and satisfaction of the Obligations.

Section 8.09 Severability. In case any provision in or Obligation under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 8.10 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitation of, another covenant, shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 8.11 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

At such time as all Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement shall terminate; provided however, that any and all indemnity obligations of Borrower to Lender arising hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, which are expressly stated to survive satisfaction of the Obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement or such other Loan Documents, and provided further that all indemnity obligations under the Environmental Indemnification Agreement shall survive such payment and satisfaction of the Obligations as set forth in the Environmental Indemnification Agreement.

Section 8.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnification Agreement constitute the entire agreement between Borrower and Lender with respect to the Loan, the other Obligations and the Collateral and supersede all prior agreements, representations and understandings related to such subject matters.

(b) BORROWER ALSO AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS OR TO ENFORCE ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED AGAINST BORROWER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, MAY BE BROUGHT BY LENDER IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE COUNTY OF THE STATE IN WHICH LENDER’S ADDRESS SHOWN ABOVE IS LOCATED, OR IN ANY ONE OR MORE OTHER STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN ANY COUNTY AND STATE IN WHICH ANY OF THE POOLED PROPERTIES IS LOCATED.

23


(including without limitation any guaranties or indemnification agreements), or the validity hereof or thereof, or the lien of the Mortgage, it is agreed that Lender’s source of satisfaction of the Indebtedness (as that term is defined in the Note) and Borrower’s other obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents is limited to (a) the Property and proceeds thereof, (b) rents, income, issues, proceeds and profits arising out of the Property, and (c) any separate guaranty or indemnification agreements guarantying or indemnifying Lender with respect to the payment of any amounts due hereunder and under the Loan Documents and/or Borrower’s performance hereunder and under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to be a release or impairment of said Indebtedness or the security therefor intended by the Mortgage, or be deemed to preclude Lender from foreclosing the Mortgage or from enforcing any of Lender’s rights or remedies in law or in equity thereunder, or in any way or manner affecting Lender’s rights and privileges under any of the Loan Documents or any separate guaranty or indemnification agreements guarantying Borrower’s payment and/or performance hereunder and/or under the Loan Documents.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVISION, OR ANYTHING IN THE NOTE TO THE CONTRARY, BORROWER SHALL PAY, AND THERE SHALL AT NO TIME BE ANY LIMITATION ON BORROWER’S PERSONAL LIABILITY FOR THE PAYMENT TO LENDER OF:

(a) the application of rents, security deposits, or other income, issues, profits, and revenues derived from the Property after the occurrence of an Event of Default to anything other than (a) normal and necessary operating expenses of the Property or (b) the Indebtedness evidenced by the Note. It is understood that any rents collected more than one month in advance as of the time of the Event of Default shall be considered to have been collected after the Event of Default;

(b) any loss, cost or damages actually incurred by Lender arising out of or in connection with fraud or material misrepresentations to Lender by Borrower (or by any of its general partners, officers, shareholders, members, or their employees, if applicable);

(c) any loss, cost or damages actually incurred by Lender arising out of or in connection with Borrower’s use or misapplication of (a) any proceeds paid under any insurance policies by reason of damage, loss or destruction to any portion of the Property, or (b) proceeds or awards resulting from the condemnation or other taking in lieu of condemnation of any portion of the Property, for purposes other than those set forth in the Mortgage;

(d) any loss, cost or damages actually incurred by Lender arising out of or in connection with any waste of the Property or any portion thereof and all reasonable costs incurred by Lender in order to protect the Property (for purposes of this subparagraph, the term “waste” means the commission of acts leading to permanent injury to the remainder or reversion or failure to exercise the ordinary care of a prudent person for the preservation of the Property);

(e) any taxes, assessments and insurance premiums for which Borrower is liable under the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents and which are paid by Lender (but not the proportionate amount of any such taxes, assessments and insurance premiums which accrue following the date of foreclosure (plus any applicable redemption period) or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure);

(f) any loss, costs or damages actually incurred by Lender arising out of or in connection with the breach of Borrower’s covenants, obligations and liabilities contained in Paragraph 31 of the Mortgage and under the Environmental Indemnification Agreement;

 

24


 

(g) any loss, cost or damages actually incurred by Lender to Lender arising out of or in connection with any construction lien, mechanic’s lien, materialman’s lien or similar lien against the Property arising out of acts or omissions of Borrower, subject to Borrower’s right to contest pursuant to the Loan Documents;

(h) the total Indebtedness (as that term is defined in the Note) in the event that Borrower or Industrial Income Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership, voluntarily files a petition in bankruptcy or commences a case or insolvency proceeding under any provision or chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code;

(i) any loss, costs or damage, resulting from any act of Borrower or its general partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, beneficiaries, and/or trustees to obstruct, delay or impede (a “Delay”) Lender from exercising any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents upon the occurrence of a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding or a monetary default provided Lender agrees that the interposition by Borrower of a valid and meritious defense to Lender’s monetary suit for a payment under the Loan Documents (other than principal and interest due under the Note) shall not constitute a Delay;

(j) the total Indebtedness (as that term is defined in the Note) and the Loan Documents in the event that (a) Borrower makes an unpermitted transfer of an interest in the Borrower or in the Property without the prior written approval of Lender, or (b) Borrower makes an unpermitted encumbrance on the Property or the holder of an ownership interest in Borrower encumbers such interest, without the prior written approval of Lender; and

(k) all costs and fees, including without limitation reasonable attorney fees and costs, incurred by Lender in the enforcement of subparagraphs (a) through (j) above.

With the exception of those items of liability specifically set forth in items (a) through (k) above, the lien of any judgment against Borrower in any proceeding instituted on, under or in connection with the Note shall not extend to any property now or hereafter owned by Borrower other than the interest of the Borrower in the Property and the other security for the payment of the Note.

UNDER OREGON LAW, MOST AGREEMENTS, PROMISES AND COMMITMENTS MADE BY US CONCERNING LOANS AND OTHER CREDIT EXTENSIONS WHICH ARE NOT FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES OR SECURED SOLELY BY THE BORROWER’S RESIDENCE MUST BE IN WRITING, EXPRESS CONSIDERATION AND BE SIGNED BY LENDER TO BE ENFORCEABLE.
