2.       AGREEMENT TO BORROW AND LEND

 

2.1       Agreement to Borrow and Lend. Subject to the terms, provisions and conditions hereof and in reliance on the representations and warranties set forth herein, Lender agrees to lend to Borrower the Commitment.

 

2.2       The Note. The Loan is evidenced by the Note and bears interest calculated and payable as provided in Article 3. The unpaid amounts of the Loan, as set forth on the books and records of Lender maintained in the ordinary course of business, will be presumptive evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid, absent manifest error, but the failure to record any such amount on the books and records will not limit or affect the obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the Note to make payments of principal and interest on the Loan when due.

 

2.3       Term. The term of the Loan commences on the Closing Date and terminates on the Expiration Date.

 

2.4        Mini Perm Loan and Mini Perm Loan Extension.

D.       the final Disbursement of the Loan has been made.

 

3.       LOAN INTEREST RATES, PAYMENTS AND FEES

 

3.1       Interest Rate Options. Borrower will pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loan at the Daily LIBOR Rate plus (a) until such time as the Mini Perm Loan Conditions are satisfied as such satisfaction is determined by Lender, two hundred and five (205) basis points (2.05%) per annum and (b) from and after the date that the Mini Perm Loan Conditions have been satisfied as such satisfaction is determined by Lender, one hundred eight-five (185) basis points (1.85%) per annum unless, in either such case, the Alternate Rate or the Default Rate otherwise applies pursuant to this Agreement in which case Borrower will pay interest at the Alternate Rate or Default Rate, as applicable, as required by this Agreement. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and actual days elapsed. Lender's determination of interest rates and any change therein will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any portion of the Loan made by Lender exceeds the Maximum Legal Rate, the rate of interest on the Loan is limited to the Maximum Legal Rate.

 

3.2       Loan Requests. Borrower may request Lender to make Disbursements of the Loan by the delivery to Lender of a duly completed Disbursement Request in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.1 of this Agreement below.

 

3.3       Default Interest and Late Payment Charge. To the extent permitted by Law, during the existence of any Event of Default, Borrower will pay interest on the entire principal amount then outstanding and all other sums due under the Loan at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. The Default Rate accrues before and after any judgment has been entered. In addition, Borrower will pay upon demand by Lender a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of any payment due under the Loan, prior to maturity or acceleration, which is not received by Lender within ten (10) days after the date such payment is due. Borrower acknowledges that the increased interest rate and the late payment charge provided for herein reflect, among other things, the fact that the Loan has become a substantially greater credit risk given its default status and that Lender is entitled to additional compensation for such risk and all such interest is payable by Borrower upon demand by Lender. Borrower also agrees and acknowledges that the Default Rate is a reasonable forecast of such additional compensation for anticipated and actual harm incurred by Lender, and that such harm cannot be estimated with certainty or without difficulty. The Default Rate is imposed as liquidated damages for the purpose of defraying Lender's expenses incident to the handling of delinquent payments, but is in addition to, and not in lieu of, the exercise by Lender, of any rights and remedies hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or under applicable Law, and any fees and expenses of any attorneys or other professionals Lender may employ.

 

 24 

 

  

3.4       Daily LIBOR Rate Unascertainable. If, on any date on which the Daily LIBOR Rate would otherwise be determined, Lender determines that:

 

(a)       adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Daily LIBOR Rate, or

 

(b)       a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London interbank eurodollar market relating to the Daily LIBOR Rate,

 

then Lender will promptly notify Borrower thereof and the outstanding principal and future advances will bear interest at the Base Rate plus one hundred and fifteen (115) basis points (1.15%) per annum (the “Alternate Rate”).

 

If, on any date on which the Daily LIBOR Rate would otherwise be determined, Lender determines (which determination will be conclusive absent manifest error) that:

 

(c)       the making, maintenance or funding of any portion of the Loan at the Daily LIBOR Rate has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by Lender in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or

 

(d)       the Daily LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of the establishment or maintenance of such portion of the Loan, or

 

(e)       after making reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars are not available to Lender with respect to such portion of the Loan, or to lenders generally, in the London interbank Eurodollar market,

 

then the Lender must promptly notify Borrower and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice. As of the date specified in any such notice, the applicable portion of the Loan shall automatically bear interest at the Alternate Rate.

 

Notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 3.4 above, prior to the Alternate Rate becoming effective based on any of the foregoing circumstances, Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to find an alternate index similar to the Daily LIBOR Rate to replace the Daily LIBOR Rate, in which case, the Alternate Rate shall then mean such replacement index plus or minus a margin reasonably determined by Lender to establish a rate consistent to the interest rate in effect immediately prior to the contingency, due consideration being given to the then-prevailing market practice for determining a rate of interest for newly originated commercial loans in the United States.

 

 25 

 

  

3.5       Successor Daily LIBOR Rate.

 

(a)       If Lender determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that either (a) (i) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.4 have arisen and are unlikely to be temporary, or (ii) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.4 have not arisen but the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of the Daily LIBOR Rate-based interest rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Lender has made a public statement identifying the specific date after which the Daily LIBOR Rate-based interest rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans (either such date, a "LIBOR Termination Date"), or (b) a rate other than the Daily LIBOR Rate-based interest rate has become a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in Dollars in the U.S. market, then Lender may (in consultation with the Borrower) choose a replacement index for the Daily LIBOR Rate-based interest rate and make adjustments to applicable margins and related amendments to this Agreement as referred to below such that, to the extent practicable, the all-in interest rate (including any applicable margin) based on the replacement index will be substantially equivalent to the all-in Daily LIBOR Rate-based interest rate (including any applicable margin) in effect prior to its replacement. 

 

(b)       Lender and Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect the replacement index, the adjusted margins and such other related amendments as may be appropriate, in the discretion of Lender, for the implementation and administration of the replacement index-based rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement at 5:00 p.m. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time  on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date a draft of  the amendment is provided to the Borrower. 

 

(c)       Selection of the replacement index, adjustments to the applicable margins, and amendments to this Agreement (i) will be determined with due consideration to the then-current market practices for determining and implementing a rate of interest for newly originated loans in the United States and loans converted from a Daily LIBOR Rate-based interest rate to a replacement index-based rate, and (ii) may also reflect adjustments to account for (x) the effects of the transition from the Daily LIBOR Rate-based interest rate to the replacement index and (y) yield- or risk-based differences between the Daily LIBOR Rate-based interest rate and the replacement index.

 

(d)       Until an amendment reflecting a new replacement index in accordance with this Section is effective, each advance, conversion and renewal of a Loan under the Daily LIBOR Rate-based  rate will continue to bear interest with reference to the Daily LIBOR Rate; provided however, that if Lender determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that a LIBOR Termination Date has occurred, then following the LIBOR Termination Date, all Loan advances as to which the Daily LIBOR Rate-based  interest rate would otherwise apply shall automatically be converted to the Alternate Rate until such time as an amendment reflecting a replacement index and related matters as described above is implemented. 

 

(e)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the replacement index is less than zero, at such times, such index shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.

 

3.6       Payments. All payments and prepayments of principal, interest, any Mini Perm Loan Fee, Mini Perm Loan Extension Fee, or other fees or amounts due from Borrower are payable prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, and without setoff, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor will immediately accrue. Such payments will be made at the Principal Office to Lender in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds. Lender's statement of account, ledger or other relevant record will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loan and other amounts owing under this Agreement and will be deemed an "account stated".

 

 26 

 

  

3.7       [Reserved].

 

3.8       Interest Payment Dates. Interest on the Loan is due and payable in arrears on the first day of each month after the date hereof and on the Expiration Date.

 

3.9       Voluntary Prepayments.

 

(a)       Borrower has the right at its option from time to time to prepay the Loan in whole or part on any Business Day without cost, premium or penalty, except as provided below or in Sections 3.12(a) or 3.12(b).

 

(b)       Whenever Borrower desires to prepay the Loan, it must provide a prepayment notice to Lender by 1:00 p.m. setting forth (i) the Business Day on which the proposed prepayment is to be made, which must be no less than three (3) Business Days after the date of such prepayment notice; and (ii) the total principal amount of such prepayment, which may not be less than $100,000. All prepayment notices are irrevocable. The principal amount of the portion of the Loan for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount, is due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. Any prepayment hereunder is not subject to reborrowing.

 

(c)       Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to increased costs under Section 3.12(a) or the suspension of the Daily LIBOR Rate pursuant to Sections 3.4(c), 3.4(d) or 3.4(e), or if Lender requires Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to Lender or any Official Body for the account of Lender pursuant to Section 3.14, it will, if requested by Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of Lender) to designate another lending office for any portion of the Loan affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such section. Nothing in this Section 3.9(b) will affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Loan Party or the rights of Lender provided in this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

3.10       Mandatory Prepayments.

 

(a)       In the event the Mini Perm Loan Option is exercised, commencing on July 19, 2023 (for reference purposes the initial Expiration Date) and continuing on the first (1st) day of each calendar month thereafter through the term of the Loan (including through the Mini Perm Loan Extension Period, if applicable), together with its interest payment on the Loan, Borrower shall make monthly payments of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in an amount equal to the principal portion of a level payment assuming a mortgage style amortization of the Commitment amount of the Loan over thirty (30) years at a hypothetical rate of interest of six percent (6.00%) per annum (such required monthly principal payment referred to herein as the "Mandatory Principal Payments").

 

 27 

 

  

(b)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of the Mandatory Principal Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall not be subject to reborrowing.

 

(c)       If not sooner paid, all amounts due and owing under any Loan Document are due and payable in full on the Expiration Date.

 

3.11      [Reserved].

 

3.12      Increased Costs.

 

(a)          Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law:

 

(i)       imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Daily LIBOR Rate);

 

(ii)     subjects Lender to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto except (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes; or

 

(iii)    imposes on Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any portion of the Loan made by Lender or any participation therein;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, continuing or maintaining any portion of the Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any portion of the Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of Lender, Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

(b)         Capital Requirements. If Lender determines that a Change in Law affecting Lender, any lending office of Lender or Lender's holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or could have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender's capital or on the capital of Lender's holding company as a consequence of this Agreement to a level below that which Lender or Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Lender's policies and the policies of Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 

(c)         Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of Lender delivered to Borrower and setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate Lender or its holding company pursuant to this Section 3.12 is conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower will pay Lender the amount shown as due within ten (10) days after receipt of such certificate.

 

 28 

 

  

(d)       Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.12 does not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to demand such compensation.

 

3.13      [Reserved].

 

3.14      Taxes.

 

(a)       Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document must be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined by a withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by such withholding agent, then the withholding agent is entitled to make such deduction or withholding and will timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party is increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.14) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it could have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

(b)       Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. The Loan Parties jointly and severally agree to timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law, or at Lender's option, timely reimburse Lender for the payment of any such Other Taxes.

 

(c)       Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties jointly and severally indemnify Lender and agree to pay Lender within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes, including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.14, payable or paid by Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender and any reasonable related expenses, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender is conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)       [Intentionally Omitted].

 

(e)       Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to an Official Body pursuant to this Section 3.14, such Loan Party must deliver to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

 

(f)       [Intentionally Omitted]

 

 29 

 

  

(g)       Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.14 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.14), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.14 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official Body with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party incurred in connection with obtaining such refund, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3.14(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Official Body. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.14(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.14(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

 

(h)       Survival. Each party's obligations under this Section 3.14 survive any assignment of rights by Lender, the termination of the Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations.

 

4.       AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

 

Loan Parties hereby covenant and agree that until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and all other obligations hereunder have been performed and discharged and the Commitment has terminated or expired, they will comply at all times with the following affirmative covenants:

 

4.1          Preservation of Existence, Etc. Each Loan Party will maintain its legal existence (and no change is permitted thereto) as a corporation, limited liability company or trust, as applicable, and its licenses or qualifications and good standings in the jurisdictions of its formation and, with respect to the Borrower, where the Project is located.

 

4.2          Performance of Obligations; Payment of Liabilities. Borrower will duly pay, perform and discharge each of its liabilities and obligations (including the Obligations and all Impositions), promptly as and when the same become due and payable, and in any event prior to the date when any fine, late charge or other penalty for late payment may be imposed, except to the extent (a) such liabilities are being contested in good faith and by appropriate and lawful proceedings diligently conducted; (b) such failure to pay and discharge any such liabilities (i) could not reasonably be expected to result in fines, penalties, other similar liabilities or injunctive relief, (ii) could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) could not reasonably be expected to result in a Lien or otherwise materially and adversely affect the Collateral or the validity of the Loan; and (c) Borrower has set aside reserves or made other appropriate provisions as may be required for tax purposes with respect to such contested matters; and provided that Borrower will pay all such liabilities immediately upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any Lien which has attached as security for such liabilities.

 

 30 

 

  

4.3          Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party will comply with applicable Laws, provided that failure to comply with a Law is not a violation of this Section 4.3 so long as such failure could not result in fines, penalties, costs or other similar liabilities or injunctive relief, or a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.4          Keeping of Records and Books of Account. Each Loan Party will maintain and keep proper records and books of account which enable such Loan Party to issue financial statements and reports in accordance with consistently applied accounting principles, Section 7.2 and as otherwise required by applicable Law, and in which full, true and correct entries will be made in all material respects of all its dealings and business and financial affairs.

 

4.5        Maintenance of Insurance.

 

(a)       Borrower will insure its properties and assets, including without limitation the Collateral, against loss or damage by insurable hazards with reputable and financially sound insurers, all as reasonably determined necessary or acceptable by Lender (each such insurance policy is an "Insurance Policy"). Borrower will ensure that each Insurance Policy complies with the requirements set forth on Exhibit 4.5. Borrower will take all actions required under the Flood Laws and/or requested by Lender to assist in ensuring that Lender is in compliance with the Flood Laws applicable to the Collateral, including providing Lender with the address and/or GPS coordinates of the Improvements and each other structure on the Land, and, to the extent required, obtaining flood insurance for such Improvements, property, structures and contents prior to assets becoming Collateral, and thereafter maintaining such flood Insurance Policy in full force and effect for so long as required by the Flood Laws.

 

(b)       Borrower will pay, within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, the cost and expense of any third party insurance consultants retained by Lender with respect to the insurance coverage to be maintained by Borrower with respect to the Project and Borrower's obligations under this Agreement.

 

(c)       Borrower will require that all Contractors and all subcontractors maintain liability insurance coverage consistent with that required of Borrower in amounts acceptable to Lender and customary for contractors performing work of the nature proposed for the Project. All parties engaged in work on the Improvements will maintain statutory workers' compensation and, if required by Law, disability insurance in force for all workers on the job.

 

(d)       Borrower will cause the Architect (and the Engineer, if applicable) to obtain and maintain professional liability insurance during the period commencing on the date of the Architect's Agreement and/or the Engineer's Agreement, as applicable, and expiring no earlier than three (3) years after occupancy of the Project. Such insurance will be in an amount of no less than $1,000,000 on a per claim and $2,000,000 on an aggregate basis, or such lesser amount as Lender may approve in its sole discretion.

 

 31 

 

  

4.6          Notice. Borrower will give prompt written notice to Lender of (a) any action or proceeding instituted by or against any Loan Party which constitutes a Potential Default or an Event of Default; (b) a default by any Loan Party under any other material contract, instrument or agreement to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets may be bound, which default could be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, a Potential Default or an Event of Default, or (c) a default by Borrower under any Project Covenant Documents.

 

4.7          Payment of Costs. Borrower will pay promptly, or cause to be paid promptly, all costs incurred in connection with constructing the Improvements as and when the same become due and payable, paying for the same with the Equity Contribution, the proceeds of the Loan advanced from time to time and Borrower's own funds as provided in this Agreement.

 

4.8          [Intentionally Deleted.]

 

4.9          Compliance With Construction and Development Documents, Project Covenant Documents and Other Agreements. Borrower will comply with the Construction and Development Documents and the Project Covenant Documents to which it is a party (or to which the Project is otherwise subject) and in all material respects with all other obligations under other contracts, instruments and agreements to which it is a party or to which any of its properties or assets may be subject.

Lender will respond within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by Lender and the Inspecting Architect of all documentation necessary to evaluate a requested change (but failure to respond within such ten (10) Business Day period shall not constitute a deemed approval), and Lender will not approve any changes until Borrower has obtained all other approvals that Lender determines are required from other parties. If Lender determines that any change may increase the cost of completion of the Improvements in excess of the amount of any category as shown on the Development Budget ("Category"), Lender may demand that Borrower deposit additional funds sufficient to cover the increased costs as a condition to giving its approval, such funds to be held by Lender and disbursed in accordance with Article 6.

(c)       If Lender, in good faith, determines that any work or materials do not conform to the Plans or sound building practice or otherwise depart from any of the requirements of this Agreement, Lender may require the work to be stopped and may withhold Disbursements until the matter is corrected. Borrower will promptly correct any such nonconforming work or materials. No such action by Lender will affect Borrower's obligation to complete the Improvements on or before the Required Completion Date.

 

(d)       Lender has no duty to examine, supervise or inspect the Plans or the construction of the Improvements or to examine any books and records. Any inspection or examination by Lender, or the Inspecting Architect is for the sole purpose of protecting the security interests granted in favor of Lender and preserving its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. No default or breach of Borrower will be waived by any inspection by Lender or the Inspecting Architect, nor will any such inspection constitute a representation that there has been or will be compliance with the Plans or that the construction is free from defective materials or workmanship. Neither approval of the Plans nor any inspections or approvals of the construction of the Improvements or any other inspection constitutes a warranty or representation by Lender as to the adequacy or safety of construction or any physical condition or feature of the Project.

 

(e)       Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender has the right to require that construction of the Improvements be stopped.

 

 35

4.26       Management of the Project. Borrower will manage the Project, including all marketing, leasing, collections, maintenance and servicing duties, in a competent and professional manner. Borrower will not enter into, modify, amend, terminate or cancel any management or leasing agreement for the Project or agreements with agents or brokers, without the prior written approval of Lender.

 

4.27       Loan Rebalancing/Deposit of Funds by Borrower. If Lender in good faith at any time and from time to time determines that (a) the amount of the undisbursed Loan proceeds will not be sufficient to pay in full all costs set forth on the Development Budget, or (b) any amount shown in any Category will not be sufficient to pay in full the items to which such amount is allocated, then Lender may make demand on Borrower to: (i) deposit with Lender within ten (10) Business Days funds equal to any such insufficiency, with such funds to be held in an account with Lender in which Lender has a security interest, and/or (ii) increase the amount of the Equity Contribution. Lender has no obligation to make further disbursements until the demanded funds have been deposited by Borrower with Lender. Whenever Lender has any such funds on deposit, such funds are additional security for the Loan, and all disbursements will be made by Lender first from those funds until they are exhausted.

 58 

 

  

(ii)         If such Event of Default is specified in any clause in Section 10.1 except Sections 10.1(q) or 10.1(r), Lender may take one or more of the following actions: (x) terminate the Commitment, whereupon Lender is under no further obligation to make Disbursements; (y) declare the unpaid principal amount of the Loan then outstanding and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other Obligations to be due and payable, whereupon the same will immediately become due and payable to Lender; and (z) exercise any and all remedies and other rights provided pursuant to any Loan Document, at Law or in equity. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.2, each Loan Party expressly waives presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind. Borrower hereby expressly waives and covenants not to assert any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, redemption or similar Laws, now or at any time hereafter in force, which might delay, prevent or otherwise impede the performance or enforcement of any Loan Document.

 

(iii)        Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by Lender or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document to Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not Lender or Affiliate will have made any demand under any Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 10.2 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Lender or its Affiliates may have. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

 

(iv)        Whether or not the maturity of the Loan has been accelerated pursuant to any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2, Lender may proceed to protect and enforce Lender's rights by suit in equity, action at Law and/or other appropriate proceeding, for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents including as permitted by applicable Law the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if such amount becomes due, by declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any other legal or equitable right of Lender.

 

(b)          From and after the date on which Lender has taken any action pursuant to this Article 10 and until all Obligations have been paid in full, any and all proceeds received by Lender from any disposition of any Collateral or the exercise of any other remedy by Lender, will be applied as follows:

 

(i)          First, to reimburse Lender for any additional compensation due pursuant to Section 3.12 and for out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees and legal expenses incurred by Lender in connection with realizing on any Collateral or collection of any obligations of Loan Parties under any of the Loan Documents, including advances made subsequent to an Event of Default by Lender for the maintenance, preservation, protection or enforcement of, or realization upon, any Collateral, advances for Impositions, insurance, repairs and the like and reasonable expenses incurred to sell or otherwise realize on, or prepare for sale or other realization on, any of the Collateral.

 

 59 

 

  

(ii)         Second, to the repayment of all Obligations in the order determined by Lender in its discretion as to principal, interest, fees or other amounts; and

 

(iii)        Third, the balance, if any, as required by Law.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Swap Obligations of any Non-Qualifying Party are to be paid with amounts received from such Non-Qualifying Party under any of its Guaranties (including sums received as a result of the exercise of remedies with respect to such Guaranties) or from the proceeds of such Non-Qualifying Party's Collateral if such Swap Obligations would constitute Excluded Hedge Liabilities; provided, however, to the extent possible, appropriate adjustments are to be made with respect to payments and/or the proceeds of Collateral from other Loan Parties that are Eligible Contract Participants with respect to such Swap Obligations to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth herein.

 

(c)          In addition to all of the rights and remedies contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation the right to appoint a receiver and all other rights described in the Mortgage, Lender has all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable Law, all of which rights and remedies are cumulative and nonexclusive, to the extent permitted by Law.

 

(d)          Lender may enter the Land and Improvements and take any and all actions necessary in its judgment to (i) secure, protect and preserve the Improvements and any materials or supplies located on the Land, (ii) complete in part or in full the construction of the Improvements, including, but not limited to, making changes in the Plans, and entering into, and, subject to the terms thereof, modifying or terminating the Construction and Development Documents and other contractual arrangements. If Lender elects to continue with the construction of the Improvements, Lender will not assume any liability to Borrower or any other Person for completing the Improvements or for the manner or quality of construction of the Improvements, and Borrower expressly waives any such liability, except to the extent that such liability is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to complete the Improvements in Borrower's name or Lender may elect to complete construction in the name of the Lender. Borrower will cooperate with Lender in hiring a third party manager for the Project. In any event, all sums actually expended by Lender in completing construction or otherwise exercising its rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents will be secured by the Mortgage and all other Collateral Documents and will bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

10.3        Notice of Sale. Any notice required to be given by Lender of a sale, lease, or other disposition of any Collateral or any other intended action by Lender, if given five (5) Business Days prior to such proposed action, constitutes commercially reasonable and fair notice thereof to Borrower.

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal Law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower that opens an account. What this means: when the Borrower opens an account, the bank will ask for the business name, business address, taxpayer identifying number and other information that will allow the bank to identify the Borrower, such as organizational documents. For some businesses and organizations, the bank may also need to ask for identifying information and documentation relating to certain individuals associated with the business or organization.

If after giving Lender the first opportunity to provide such services or financing, Borrower wishes to obtain such services or financing from a financial institution other than Lender, Borrower shall also give Lender the last opportunity to provide such services or financing upon terms substantially the same as the other lender has offered to Borrower.  Lender shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Borrower of its intention to obtain such services or financing from a financial institution other than Lender within which to exercise its right of last opportunity to provide such services or financing.  In the event Lender provides Borrower a commitment to provide such services or financing containing terms substantially equivalent to those contained in such other financial institution's offer, Borrower agrees to accept Lender's commitment to provide such services or financing as the case may be.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS:

 

Each insurer(s) issuing any Insurance Policy must certify to Lender that (a) losses will be adjusted only with the approval of Lender; (b) loss payments will be payable to Lender, such payments to be applied in the manner set forth in the Loan Documents; (c) the interests of Lender must be insured regardless of any breach or violation by any Loan Party of any warranties, covenants, representations, declarations or conditions contained in such Insurance Policy; and (d) if such Insurance Policy is canceled or materially changed, or if any reinsurance is canceled for any reason whatsoever, such insurer will promptly notify Lender and such cancellation or change will not be effective as to Lender for thirty (30) days after receipt by Lender of such notice. Furthermore, in the event any Insurance Policy (except for general public and other liability and Workers' compensation insurance) must contain breach of warranty provisions, such Insurance Policy must provide that with respect to the interest of Lender, said Insurance Policy is not invalidated by and insures Lender regardless of (a) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such Insurance Policy by any named insured; (b) the occupancy or use of the Property for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof; or (c) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Lender pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

Each Insurance Policy issued in connection herewith must contain a provision whereby the insurer: (a) waives any right to claim any premiums and commissions against Lender, provided that the Insurance Policy need not waive the requirement that the premium be paid in order for a claim to be paid to the insured; and (b) provides that Lender is permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such Insurance Policy upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of premiums.

 

Loan Parties must deliver to Lender ACORD Form 28 Evidence of Commercial Property Insurance and an ACORD Form 25 S Certificate of Insurance (provided that such form must provide legally binding evidence of the required coverage, together with an agreement to provide not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender of any cancellation or material change relating to such coverage and provided further that such form contains no qualifying language concerning the status of Lender as additional insured), as applicable, with respect to such Insurance Policies on or before the Closing Date, or, at the request of Lender, a copy of the applicable Insurance Policy or Insurance Policies including all applicable endorsement(s) (provided, however, that Lender will not be deemed by reason of its custody of such Insurance Policy to have notice of the contents thereof), in all cases naming Lender as mortgagee and lender loss payee and agreeing to provide not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender of any cancellation or material change relating to such Insurance Policy, and evidence of each new or renewal Insurance Policy in a form acceptable to Lender not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the original Insurance Policy or preceding renewal Insurance Policy (as the case may be); and to deliver to Lender, upon Lender's request, receipts or other evidence that the premiums thereon have been paid in accordance with the Insurance Policy.

 

 EXHIBIT 4.5 - 1 

 

 

The insurer or reinsurer for all such Insurance Policies must be rated A IX or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc., or will have such other rating reasonably acceptable to Lender. The form, amount, deductible, content, types of coverage and evidence of all Insurance Policies required under this Agreement and the Mortgage as well as the identity of the insurers and reinsurers must be satisfactory to Lender. All Insurance Policies must maintain coverage for tenant improvements and betterments that Borrower is required to insure. All property Insurance Policies must also include a co-insurance waiver and Agreed Amount Endorsement. The amount of any deductible under any insurance policy must be acceptable to Lender. Without Lender's prior written consent in its sole discretion, Borrower will not name any person other than Lender as mortgagee and/or loss payee with respect to the Property, nor may Borrower carry separate or additional insurance coverage covering the Improvements concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required by this Agreement; provided that, if blanket Insurance Policies are obtained, this sentence does not apply to property covered by such blanket Insurance Policies other than the Improvements and such tenant improvements and betterments that Borrower is required to insure pursuant to this Agreement.

STORED MATERIALS AFFIDAVIT

 

___________________________________ being first duly sworn, in the city of _____________________, _________________, deposes and says he is __________________ of ______________________________, a _______________ (the "Supplier"), doing business at ________________________________________ and a subcontractor/supplier under that certain agreement dated _____________, by and between Supplier and _________________, (together with its successors or assigns, the "Contractor") in connection with __________________________________________ (the "Project"), which is owned by MURANO AT THREE OAKS ASSOCIATES, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the "Owner").. The Project is located at Three Oaks Parkway and Alico Road, Fort Myers, Florida Carolina (the "Project Site"), and the materials listed in the attached Bill of Sale (the "Materials") are now stored at _____________ (the "Storage Site").

 

Supplier has clear marketable title to the Materials, such title will pass to Borrower upon payment, and the Materials are not subject to any security interest or encumbrance. The Materials are stored in a safe and secure manner so as to preclude damage by fire, the elements, theft, or vandalism. The Materials are clearly marked and identified for the Project and are located in an area separate from any other materials not included in this affidavit.

 

The Materials are available now for inspection by the Contractor, the Owner, and PNC Bank, National Association (the "Lender"), or their respective representatives.

 

The Materials are now covered by insurance evidenced by the certificate attached hereto, which indicates all risk coverage with a deductible of $______________ and names Owner as the insured party and Lender as mortgagee and loss payee. Such insurance is in an amount equal to or greater than 100% of the value of the Materials. The cost of such insurance has been borne by Supplier and will remain in force until Supplier delivers the Materials to the Project Site.

 

The Materials comply in all respect to the Plans, and payment does not relieve Supplier of said responsibility.

 

The Materials have been purchased and/or manufactured for the specific purpose of being used in the Project and will be transported to the Project Site at Supplier's expense.

 

The Materials will remain on the Storage Site until delivery to the Project Site, except in an emergency that threatens the Materials. In any such event Supplier will within 24 hours notify Contractor of the nature of such emergency and the location to which it has moved the Materials, and will within 1 business day deliver to Contractor a new Affidavit in form and substance identical to this document except for location of the new Storage Site.

 

   

 

  

The undersigned makes this affidavit in order to induce Contractor to pay for the Materials. It is understood that Contractor, at its convenience, can acquire physical possession of the Materials within (24) hours of written request to Supplier, notwithstanding any contrary contractual provisions.
