LOAN AGREEMENT

This LOAN AGREEMENT (this “Loan Agreement”), is made as of September 25, 2015, by and IPT BAYPORT DC LP, IPT CENTREPORT DC LP, IPT CENTURY DC LP, IPT LIVERMORE DC LP and IPT RIALTO DC LP, each a Delaware limited partnership, and IPT O’HARE DC LLC and IPT WINDHAM IC LLC, each a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, “Borrower”), each having its principal place of business at 518 17th Street, Suite 1700, Denver, Colorado 80202-4130, and TEACHERS INSURANCE AND ANNUITY ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA, a New York corporation, having an address at 730 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10017 (“Lender).

RECITALS:

A.          Lender agreed to make and Borrower agreed to accept a loan (the “Loan”) in the maximum principal amount of $100,000,000.00.

B.          To evidence the Loan, Borrower executed and delivered to Lender that certain Promissory Note (the “Note”), dated the date of this Loan Agreement, in the principal amount of One Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($100,000,000.00)(that amount or so much as is outstanding from time to time is referred to as the “Principal”), promising to pay the Principal with interest thereon to the order of Lender as set forth in the Note and with the balance, if any, of the Debt being due and payable on October 1, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”).

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Loan and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Borrower and Lender agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS AND RULES OF CONSTRUCTION

Section 1.1        Definitions.    Capitalized terms used in this Loan Agreement are defined in Exhibit B or in the text with a cross-reference in Exhibit B.

Section 1.2        Rules of Construction.    This Loan Agreement will be interpreted in accordance with the rules of construction set forth in Exhibit C.

ARTICLE II

PAYMENT TERMS

Section 2.1        The Obligations.    This Loan Agreement secures the Principal, the Interest, the Late Charges, the Prepayment Premiums, the Expenses, any additional advances made by Lender in connection with the Property or the Loan and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents (the “Debt”) and also secures both the timely payment of the Debt as and when required and the timely performance of all other obligations and covenants to be performed under the Loan Documents (the “Obligations”).


Section 2.2        Payments of Principal and Fixed Interest.

(a)        Borrower will make monthly installment payments (“Debt Service Payments”) as follows:

 (i)         On the date hereof, a payment of interest on the Principal at the Fixed Interest Rate that will accrue through October 1, 2015;

 (ii)        On November 1, 2015, and on the first day of each succeeding calendar month through and including October 1, 2019, payments in the amount of Two Hundred Ninety-Three Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Three and 33/100 Dollars ($293,333.33), each of which will be applied to accrued interest on the Principal at the Fixed Interest Rate; and

 (iii)       On November 1, 2019, and on the first day of each succeeding calendar month through and including September 1, 2023, payments in the amount of Four Hundred Fifty thousand One Hundred Sixty-One and 85/100 Dollars ($450,161.85), each of which will be applied first to accrued interest on the Principal at the Fixed Interest Rate and then to the Principal.

(b)        Interest on the Principal shall be calculated on a 30 day month/360 day year, except that any Interest due for the first and last months of the Term, if such payments pertain to partial months, shall be based upon the actual number of days in such months that the Principal is outstanding and a 365 day or 366 day year, as applicable.

(c)        On the Maturity Date, Borrower will pay the Principal in full together with accrued interest at the Fixed Interest Rate and all other amounts due under the Loan Documents.

Section 2.3        Prepayment Provisions.

(a)        The Note may not be prepaid in full or in part before October 31, 2016. Commencing on November 1, 2016, provided there is no Event of Default, Borrower may prepay the Note in full, but not in part (except as may be expressly permitted in the Loan Documents), upon fifteen (15) days prior notice to Lender and upon payment in full of the Debt which will include a payment (the “Prepayment Premium”) equal to the greater of (i) an amount equal to the product of one percent (1%) (the “Prepayment Percentage”) times the Prepayment Date Principal and (ii) the amount by which the sum of the Discounted Values of the Note Payments, derived by using the Discount Rate, exceeds the Prepayment Date Principal; provided, however, if any such foregoing prepayment is not made on the first (1st) day of a calendar month, such payment shall also be accompanied by interest on the Principal at the Fixed Interest Rate through to the date of the next scheduled Debt Service Payment occurring after such prepayment. In order to calculate (ii) in the foregoing, each remaining Note Payment will be discounted and the resulting Discounted Values will be added together. At any time after Borrower has provided Lender with the above required thirty (30) days advance notice of prepayment, Borrower may revoke such notice in writing provided that Borrower must pay to Lender, within five (5) Business Days of receiving written demand therefore, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Lender, if any, in acting upon Borrower’s original thirty (30) day notice; but not any breakage costs or costs of redeployment or similar cost. Provided there is no Event of Default, the Note may be prepaid in full without payment of any Prepayment Premium during the last ninety (90) days of the Term. The Note may not be prepaid without simultaneous prepayment in full of any other notes secured by the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lender elects in accordance with the term of the Loan Documents to apply Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Awards resulting from any Casualty or Condemnation, as the case may be, or a Termination Fee attributable to the termination or cancellation of any Lease, to the Principal, the prepayment resulting from such application, whether in full or in part, shall be without payment of the Prepayment Premium.

 

2


(b)        Any prepayment not permitted by this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any tender of payment of the amount necessary to satisfy the Debt accelerated, any judgment of foreclosure, any statement of amount due at the time of foreclosure (including foreclosure by power of sale) and any tender of payment made during any redemption period after foreclosure, will include to the extent permitted by applicable law a payment (the “Evasion of Prepayment Premium”) equal to the greater of (i) an amount equal to the product of the Prepayment Percentage plus 300 basis points times the Prepayment Date Principal, and (ii) the amount by which the sum of the Discounted Values of the Note Payments, derived by using the Default Discount Rate, exceeds the Prepayment Date Principal. In order to calculate (ii) in the foregoing, each remaining Note Payment will be discounted and the resulting Discounted Values will be added together.

(c)        The calculation of any amount paid to or due Lender in conjunction with any prepayment, tender of payment or payment of any other amount with respect to the Prepayment Date Principal, as described in this Section 2.3 shall include interest to and including the date of receipt thereof by Lender.

(d)        Borrower acknowledges that:

 (i)         a prepayment will cause damage to Lender;

 (ii)        the Evasion of Prepayment Premium is intended to compensate Lender for the loss of its investment and the expense incurred and time and effort associated with making the Loan, which will not be fully repaid if the Loan is prepaid;

 (iii)       it will be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of Lender’s damages caused by a prepayment after an Event of Default or any other prepayment not permitted by the Loan Documents; and

 (iv)       the Evasion of Prepayment Premium represents Lender and Borrower’s reasonable estimate of Lender’s damages for the prepayment and is not a penalty.

Section 2.4        Default Rate.    Interest on the Principal will accrue at the Default Interest Rate from the date an Event of Default occurs.

Section 2.5        Late Charges.

(a)        If Borrower fails to pay any Debt Service Payment when due (other than the failure to repay the outstanding Principal balance upon the Maturity Date or following an Acceleration) and the failure continues for a period of five (5) days or more, which five (5) day period shall commence on the day after the day payment is actually due, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender an amount (a “Late Charge”) equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent payment.

(b)        Borrower acknowledges that:

 (i)         a delinquent payment will cause damage to Lender;

 

3


 (ii)        the Late Charge is intended to compensate Lender for loss of use of the delinquent payment and the expense incurred and time and effort associated with recovering the delinquent payment;

 (iii)       it will be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of Lender’s damages caused by the delinquency; and

 (iv)       the Late Charge represents Lender and Borrower’s reasonable estimate of Lender’s damages from the delinquency and is not a penalty.

ARTICLE III

ARTICLE V

IMPOSITIONS AND ACCUMULATIONS

Section 5.1        Impositions.

(a)        Borrower will pay each Imposition at least 15 days before the date (the “Imposition Penalty Date”) that is the earlier of (i) the date on which the Imposition becomes delinquent and (ii) the date on which any penalty, interest or charge for non-payment of the Imposition accrues.

(b)        At least 10 days before each Imposition Penalty Date, Borrower will deliver to Lender or its designated agent a receipted bill or other evidence of payment of all Taxes and Assessments.

(c)        Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest any Taxes or Assessments, provided that the following conditions are met:

 (i)         not less than 30 days prior to the Imposition Penalty Date, Borrower delivers to Lender notice of the proposed contest;

 (ii)        the contest is by a Proceeding promptly initiated and conducted diligently and in good faith;

 (iii)       there is no Event of Default;

 (iv)       the Proceeding suspends the collection of the contested Taxes or Assessments;

 

7


 (v)        the Proceeding is not prohibited by the Leases and the Property Documents;

 (vi)       the Proceeding precludes imposition of criminal or civil penalties and sale or forfeiture of the Property and Lender will not be subject to any civil suit; and

 (vii)      Borrower either deposits with the Accumulations Depositary reserves or furnishes a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Lender, in either case in an amount sufficient to pay the contested Taxes or Assessments, together with all interest and penalties or Borrower pays all of the contested Taxes or Assessments under protest.

(d)        Installment Payments.    So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall be permitted to pay the Assessment in installments if permitted by the taxing authority having jurisdiction over the Property and if Borrower is making deposits under Section 5.2 below, such Assessment shall also be paid in installments and Borrower shall be required to provide only such Accumulations as are necessary to pay such Assessment in installments.

Section 5.2        Accumulations.

(a)        In accordance with the Tax Pledge, unless waived under Section 5.2(h) below, Borrower will make an initial deposit with either Lender or a mortgage servicer or financial institution designated by Lender from time to time, acting on behalf of Lender as Lender’s agent or otherwise such that Lender is the “customer”, as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code, of the depository bank with respect to the deposit account into which the Accumulations are deposited, to receive, hold and disburse the Accumulations in accordance with the Tax Pledge (the “Accumulations Depositary”). On the first day of each calendar month thereafter, unless waived under Section 5.2(h), Borrower will deposit with the Accumulations Depositary an amount equal to 1/12th of the annual Taxes and Assessments as determined by Lender or its agent. Except as otherwise required by the Tax Pledge, at least thirty (30) days before each Imposition Penalty Date, Borrower will deliver to the Accumulations Depositary any bills and other documents that are necessary to pay the Taxes and Assessments.

(b)        The Accumulations will be applied to the payment of Taxes and Assessments. Any excess Accumulations after payment of Taxes and Assessments will be returned to Borrower or credited against future payments of the Accumulations (and reduce future payments accordingly), at Lender’s election or as required by Law. If the Accumulations are not sufficient to pay Taxes and Assessments, except as otherwise required by the Tax Pledge, Borrower shall promptly pay the deficiency to the Accumulations Depositary (and in any event, not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Imposition Penalty Date).

(c)        The Accumulations Depositary will hold the Accumulations as security for the Obligations until applied in accordance with the provisions of this Loan Agreement and the Tax Pledge. If Lender is not the Accumulations Depositary, the Accumulations Depositary will deliver the Accumulations to Lender upon Lender’s demand at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default.

(d)        If the Property is sold or conveyed other than by foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure, all right, title and interest of Borrower to the Accumulations will automatically, and without necessity of further assignment, be held for the account of the new owner, subject to the provisions of this Section and Borrower will have no further interest in the Accumulations.

 

8


(e)        Upon receipt of the Accumulations, the Accumulations Depositary will deposit such funds into an account with a financial institution selected by Lender, which funds may be commingled with other funds controlled by Lender or Lender’s agent, all in accordance with the Tax Pledge.

(f)        Lender has the right to pay, or to direct the Accumulations Depositary to pay, any Taxes or Assessments unless Borrower is contesting the Taxes or Assessments in accordance with the provisions of this Loan Agreement, in which event any payment of the contested Taxes or Assessments will be made under protest in the manner prescribed by Law or, following a Trigger Event (as defined below) and until a new waiver of tax escrows is permitted under Section 5.2(h) below), at Lender’s election may be withheld.

(g)        If Lender assigns this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender will pay, or cause the Accumulations Depositary to pay, the unapplied balance of the Accumulations to or at the direction of the assignee. Simultaneously with the payment, Lender and the Accumulations Depositary will be released from all liability with respect to the Accumulations for all periods after such payments is made, and Borrower will look solely to the assignee with respect to the Accumulations for all periods thereafter. When the Obligations have been fully satisfied, any unapplied balance of the Accumulations will be returned to Borrower. At any time when an Event of Default exists, Lender may apply the Accumulations as a credit against any portion of the Debt selected by Lender in its sole discretion.

(h)        Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2, the requirement for Borrower to escrow for Taxes shall be waived and such waiver shall remain in effect provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) the Property maintains an aggregate Debt Service Coverage of not less than 1.20x. If any of the conditions for waiver of the tax escrow fail to be satisfied at any time (the “Trigger Event”), and upon prior notice from Lender, Borrower shall immediately commence to make deposits to the Accumulations Depositary pursuant to the Tax Pledge. The initial deposit shall be in an amount not less than the amount that would have been on deposit had the requirement for the escrow of Taxes not been waived. If Borrower loses the waiver of the Tax escrow at any time due to the occurrence of a Trigger Event, a new waiver of tax escrows shall be given, and any Accumulations shall be released to Borrower, (A) if the Debt Service Coverage returns to a level of 1.40x or higher for a period of three (3) consecutive months (if the Trigger Event was due to the Property not maintaining a Debt Service Coverage of not less than 1.20x) or (B) if the Event of Default is cured (if the Trigger Event was due to the occurrence of an Event of Default). In addition, this waiver is personal to the Borrower and in the event of a One-Time Sale pursuant to Section 12.2 (b) hereof, this waiver shall be revoked and of no further force and effect from and after the occurrence of such One-Time Sale.

Section 5.3        Changes in Tax Laws.    If a Law requires the deduction of the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt, any Loan Document or Lender’s interest in the Property (other than income taxes or any other taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the accounts of Lender), Borrower will pay the tax with interest and penalties, if any, so long as Lender is requiring tax be paid by substantially all similarly situated borrowers. If Lender determines that Borrower’s payment of the tax may be unlawful, unenforceable, usurious or taxable to Lender, the Debt will become immediately due and payable (in which event no

 

9


Prepayment Premium shall be due under the Note) on sixty (60) days’ prior notice unless the tax must be paid within the sixty (60) day period, in which case, the Debt will be due and payable within the lesser period.

ARTICLE VI

INSURANCE, CASUALTY, CONDEMNATION AND RESTORATION

Section 6.1        Insurance Coverages.

(a)        Borrower will maintain such insurance coverages and endorsements in form and substance as Lender may require in its reasonable discretion from time to time, provided that such insurance is generally available in the commercial markets and being required of substantially similarly situated borrowers. The insurance will be in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost of the Improvements and Personal Property (without deduction for depreciation) and will include (to the extent reasonably available) fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage, boiler and machinery, terrorism coverage, windstorm, earthquake and flood insurance (if located in an area identified as an earthquake or flood zone), and a minimum of twelve (12) months of rent loss insurance. The insurance will also include commercial general liability coverage in substance and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender naming Lender as an additional insured. Until Lender notifies Borrower of changes in Lender’s requirements, Borrower will maintain not less than the insurance coverages and endorsements Lender required for closing of the Loan.

(b)        The insurance, including renewals, required under this Section will be issued on valid and enforceable policies and endorsements satisfactory to Lender (the “Policies”). Each Policy will contain a standard waiver of subrogation and a replacement cost endorsement and will provide that Lender will receive not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any cancellation, termination or non-renewal of a Policy and that Lender will be named under a standard mortgagee endorsement on the property insurance as mortgagee and loss payee. Borrower agrees to provide Lender with notice of any other material change to a Policy, other than an increase in coverage, within two (2) Business Days of such change.

(c)        The insurance companies issuing the Policies (the “Insurers”) must be authorized to do business in the State or Commonwealth where the Property is located, must have been in business for at least five (5) years, must carry an A.M. Best Company, Inc. policy holder rating of A- or better and an A.M. Best Company, Inc. financial category rating of Class VIII or better and must be otherwise satisfactory to Lender. Lender may select an alternative credit rating agency and may impose different credit rating standards for the Insurers if also being required of substantially all similarly situated borrowers. Notwithstanding Lender’s right to approve the Insurers and to establish credit rating standards for the Insurers, Lender will not be responsible for the solvency of any Insurer.

(d)        Notwithstanding Lender’s rights under this Article, Lender will not be liable for any loss, damage or injury resulting from the inadequacy or lack of any insurance coverage.

(e)        Borrower will comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Policies and with the requirements, notices and demands imposed by the Insurers and applicable to Borrower or the Property.

 

10


(f)        Borrower will pay the insurance premiums for each Policy and provide Lender with evidence of such payment within fifteen (15) days of the expiration date of the Policy being replaced or renewed and Borrower will deliver to Lender a certified copy of each Policy marked “Paid” not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of the Policy being replaced or renewed. In the event Borrower is unable to deliver a certified copy fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date, Borrower will provide evidence of the renewed coverage by delivering to Lender an Acord 27 (2004/04 or 1993/03) or Acord 28 (2003/10) or the current industry equivalent until a certified copy is available and delivered to Lender.

(g)        Borrower will not carry separate insurance concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss with any other insurance carried by Borrower.

(h)        If Borrower elects to carry any of the insurance required under this Section on a blanket or umbrella policy, Borrower will deliver to Lender a certified copy of the blanket policy which will allocate to the Property the amount of coverage required under this Section and otherwise will provide the same coverage and protection as would a separate policy insuring only the Property.

(i)        Borrower will give the Insurers and Lender prompt notice of any change in ownership or occupancy of the Property that may result in a change in the insurance requirements for the Property. This subsection does not abrogate the prohibitions on transfers set forth in this Loan Agreement.

(j)        If the Property is sold at a foreclosure sale or otherwise is transferred so as to extinguish the Obligations, all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Policies then in force will be transferred automatically to the purchaser or transferee (unless part of a blanket policy or not otherwise reasonably transferable).

Section 6.2        Casualty and Condemnation.

(a)        Borrower will give Lender notice of any Casualty promptly after it occurs and will give Lender notice of any Condemnation Proceeding promptly after Borrower receives notice of commencement or notice that such a Condemnation Proceeding will be commencing. Borrower promptly will deliver to Lender copies of all material documents Borrower delivers or receives relating to the Casualty or the Condemnation Proceeding, as the case may be.

(b)        Borrower authorizes Lender, at Lender’s option, to act on Borrower’s behalf to collect, adjust and compromise any claims for loss, damage or destruction under the Policies on such terms as Lender determines in Lender’s reasonable discretion. Borrower authorizes Lender to act, at Lender’s option, on Borrower’s behalf in connection with any Condemnation Proceeding. Borrower will execute and deliver to Lender all documents reasonably requested by Lender and all documents as may be required by Law to confirm such authorizations. Nothing in this Section will be construed to limit or prevent Lender from joining with Borrower either as a co-defendant or as a co-plaintiff in any Condemnation Proceeding.

(c)        If Lender elects not to act on Borrower’s behalf as provided in this Section, then Borrower promptly will file and prosecute all claims (including Lender’s claims) relating to the Casualty and will prosecute or defend (including defense of Lender’s interest) any Condemnation Proceeding. Borrower will have the authority to settle or compromise the claims or Condemnation Proceeding, as the

 

11


case may be, provided that Lender has approved in Lender’s reasonable discretion any compromise or settlement that exceeds $500,000.00. Any check for Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Awards, as the case may be (the “Proceeds”) will be made payable to Lender and Borrower. Borrower will endorse the check to Lender promptly upon Lender presenting the check to Borrower for endorsement or if Borrower receives the check first, will endorse the check promptly upon receipt and forward it to Lender. If any Proceeds are paid to Borrower, Borrower promptly will deposit the Proceeds with Lender, to be applied or disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Loan Agreement. Lender will be responsible for only the Proceeds actually received by Lender.

Section 6.3        Application of Proceeds.      After deducting the costs incurred by Lender in collecting the Proceeds, Lender may, in its sole discretion, (i) apply the Proceeds as a credit against any portion of the Debt selected by Lender in its sole discretion; (ii) apply the Proceeds to restore the Improvements, provided that Lender will not be obligated to see to the proper application of the Proceeds and provided further that any amounts released for Restoration will not be deemed a payment on the Debt; or (iii) deliver the Proceeds to Borrower.

Section 6.4        Conditions to Availability of Proceeds for Restoration.      Notwithstanding the preceding Section, after a Casualty or a Condemnation (a “Destruction Event”), Lender will make the Proceeds (less any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lender in collecting the Proceeds) available for Restoration in accordance with the conditions for disbursements set forth in the Section entitled “Restoration”, provided that the following conditions are met:

 (i)         Borrower or the transferee under a Permitted Transfer, if any, continues to be “borrower” at the time of the Destruction Event and at all times thereafter until the Proceeds have been fully disbursed;

 (ii)        no default under the Loan Documents exists at the time of the Destruction Event;

 (iii)       all Material Leases and all Property Documents in effect immediately prior to the Destruction Event continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the Destruction Event, except as otherwise approved by Lender;

 (iv)       if the Destruction Event is a Condemnation, Borrower delivers to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Improvements can be restored to an economically and architecturally viable unit;

 (v)        Borrower delivers to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Proceeds are sufficient to complete Restoration or if the Proceeds are insufficient to complete Restoration, Borrower first deposits with Lender funds (“Additional Funds”) that when added to the Proceeds will be sufficient to complete Restoration;

 (vi)       if the Destruction Event is a Casualty, Borrower delivers to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Insurer under each affected Policy has not denied liability under the Policy as to Borrower or the insured under the Policy;

 (vii)      Lender is satisfied that the proceeds of any rent loss insurance in effect together with other available gross revenues from the Property are sufficient to pay Debt Service

 

12


Payments after paying the Impositions, Insurance Premiums, reasonable and customary Operating Expenses until Restoration is complete or the Borrower agrees to pay any shortfall to Lender as Additional Funds;

 (viii)    Lender is satisfied that Restoration will be completed on or before the date (the “Restoration Completion Date”) that is the earliest of: (A) twelve (12) months prior to the Maturity Date; (B) twelve (12) months after the Destruction Event; (C) the earliest date required for completion of Restoration under any Lease or any Property Document; or (D) any date required by Law; and

 (ix)      for the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Destruction Event, the annual Debt Service Coverage was at least 1.10x, and at the time of the Destruction Event, is at least 1.10x, after payment of annual Insurance Premiums, Impositions and operating expenses of the Property (including ground rent if any), provided that, if the Net Operating Income does not provide such Debt Service Coverage, then Borrower expressly authorizes and directs Lender (at Lender’s sole discretion) to apply an amount from the Proceeds to reduction of Principal in order to reduce the annual Debt Service Payments sufficiently for such Debt Service Coverage to be achieved. The reduced debt service payments will be calculated using the Fixed Interest Rate and an amortization schedule that will achieve the same proportionate amortization of the reduced Principal over the then remaining Term as would have been achieved if the Principal and the originally scheduled Debt Service Payments had not been reduced. Borrower will execute any documentation that Lender deems reasonably necessary to evidence the reduced Principal and debt service payments.

Section 6.5        Restoration.

(a)        If the total Proceeds for any Destruction Event are $500,000.00 or less and Lender elects or is obligated by Law or under this Article to make the Proceeds available for Restoration, Lender will disburse to Borrower the entire amount received by Lender and Borrower will commence Restoration promptly after the Destruction Event and complete Restoration not later than the Restoration Completion Date.

(b)        If the Proceeds for any Destruction Event exceed $500,000.00 and Lender elects or is obligated by Law or under this Article to make the Proceeds available for Restoration, Lender will disburse the Proceeds and any Additional Funds (the “Restoration Funds”) upon Borrower’s request as Restoration progresses, generally in accordance with normal construction lending practices for disbursing funds for construction costs, provided that the following conditions are met:

 (i)        Borrower commences Restoration promptly after the Destruction Event and completes Restoration on or before the Restoration Completion Date;

 (ii)       if Lender requests, Borrower delivers to Lender prior to commencing Restoration, for Lender’s approval, plans and specifications and a detailed budget for the Restoration;

 (iii)      Borrower delivers to Lender reasonably satisfactory evidence of the costs of Restoration incurred prior to the date of the request, and such other documents as Lender may reasonably request including mechanics’ lien waivers and title insurance endorsements;

 

13


 (iv)      Borrower pays all costs of Restoration whether or not the Restoration Funds are sufficient and, if at any time during Restoration, Lender determines that the undisbursed balance of the Restoration Funds is insufficient to complete Restoration, Borrower deposits with Lender, as part of the Restoration Funds, an amount equal to the deficiency within 30 days of receiving notice of the deficiency from Lender; and

 (v)       there is no default under the Loan Documents at the time Borrower requests funds or at the time Lender disburses funds.

(c)        If an Event of Default occurs at any time after the Destruction Event, then Lender will have no further obligation to make any remaining Proceeds available for Restoration and may apply any remaining Proceeds as a credit against any portion of the Debt selected by Lender in its sole discretion.

(d)        Lender may elect at any time prior to or during the course of Restoration involving aggregate expenditures of more than $1,000,000 to retain, at Borrower’s expense, an independent engineer or other consultant to review the plans and specifications, to inspect Restoration as it progresses and to provide reports. If any matter included in a report by the engineer or consultant is unsatisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion, Lender may suspend disbursement of the Restoration Funds until the unsatisfactory matters contained in the report are resolved to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction.

(e)        If Borrower fails to commence and complete Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Article (subject to the same cure rights applicable to defaults), then in addition to the Remedies, Lender may elect to restore the Improvements on Borrower’s behalf and reimburse itself out of the Restoration Funds for costs and expenses incurred by Lender in restoring the Improvements or Lender may apply the Restoration Funds as a credit against any portion of the Debt selected by Lender in its sole discretion.

(f)        Lender may commingle the Restoration Funds with its general assets and will not be liable to pay any interest or other return on the Restoration Funds unless otherwise required by Law. Lender will not hold any Restoration Funds in trust. Lender may elect to deposit the Restoration Funds with a depositary satisfactory to Lender under a disbursement and security agreement satisfactory to Lender.

(g)        Borrower will pay all of Lender’s reasonable third party expenses incurred in connection with a Destruction Event or Restoration. If Borrower fails to do so, then in addition to the Remedies, Lender may from time to time reimburse itself out of the Restoration Funds.

(h)        If any excess Proceeds remain after Restoration, Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, either to apply the excess as a credit against any portion of the Debt (in which event no Prepayment Premium shall be due under the Note) as selected by Lender in its sole discretion or to deliver the excess to Borrower.

Borrower hereby confirms that, as of the date hereof, the representations and warranties contained in this Article VII are true, correct and complete in all material respects and covenants that until the Debt has been repaid in full, it shall take the actions or refrain from taking the actions as required by this Article VII and shall cause any representations and warranties that are expressly prospective in nature to be true, correct and complete in all material respects on every day that the Debt is outstanding:

Section 7.1        Compliance with Law.    Borrower, the Property and the use of the Property comply in all material respects and will continue to comply in all material respects with Law and with all agreements and conditions necessary to preserve and extend all rights, licenses, permits, privileges, franchises and concessions (including zoning variances, special exceptions and non-conforming uses) relating to the Property or Borrower. Borrower will notify Lender of the commencement of any investigation or Proceeding relating to a possible violation of Law promptly after Borrower receives notice thereof and will deliver promptly to Lender copies of all material documents Borrower receives or delivers in connection with the investigation or Proceeding. Borrower will not alter the Property in any manner that would materially increase Borrower’s responsibilities for compliance with Law.

Section 7.2        Compliance with Agreements.    To the actual knowledge of Borrower, there are no defaults, events of defaults or events which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, would constitute an event of default under the Property Documents. Borrower will pay and perform all of its material obligations under the Property Documents as and when required by the Property Documents. Borrower will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all other parties to the Property Documents to pay and perform their material obligations under the Property Documents as and when required by the Property Documents. Borrower will not amend or waive any provisions of the Property Documents in any material respects; exercise any options under the Property Documents; give any approval required or permitted under the Property Documents that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; cancel or surrender any of the Property Documents; or release or discharge or permit the release or discharge of any party to or entity bound by any of the Property Documents, without, in each instance, Lender’s prior approval (excepting therefrom all service contracts or other agreements entered into in the normal course of business that are cancelable upon not more than 30 days notice). Borrower promptly will deliver to Lender copies of any notices of default or of termination that Borrower receives or delivers relating to any Property Document.

Section 7.3        ERISA Compliance.

The foregoing representation regarding Affiliates excludes owners of shares of stock traded on a public United States regulated stock exchange.

(b)        None of Borrower or any of its Affiliates is a Prohibited Person or is in violation of any of the Laws relating to Prohibited Persons. A “Prohibited Person” is (A) a person designated as a “specially designated national and blocked person” on the most current list published by the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control at its official website http://www.treasury.gov/ofac/downloads/t11sdn.pdf or at any replacement website or other replacement official publication of such list, or any person or entity owned or controlled by or acting for or on behalf of such a person; (B) an agency of the government of a country, or an organization controlled by a country, or a person resident in a country that is subject to trade restrictions or a sanctions program under any of the economic sanctions of the United States administered by the United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control; or (C) to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, a person or entity (including a country or government) with whom Lender is prohibited from dealing or otherwise engaging in any transaction by any Anti-Terrorism Laws. Borrower and its Affiliates will at all times comply with all Laws relating to Prohibited Persons. The foregoing representation regarding Affiliates excludes owners of shares of stock traded on a public United States regulated stock exchange.

18


 (iv)       each new lease or lease renewal: (A) has a minimum term of three (3) years (provided, however, Borrower shall be permitted to enter into new leases on a month-to-month basis or with terms of three (3) months or less for not more than ten percent (10%) of the aggregate leasable square footage of the Property), (B) is for less than 105,000 square feet, (C) represents less than five percent (5%) of the aggregate net rentable area of the Property (D) is not for the purpose of providing day care facility or similar childcare services;

 (iii)       the Termination Fee received by Borrower shall, at Lender’s sole option, be paid to Lender and promptly thereafter deposited into an interest bearing pledge account pursuant to a pledge and security agreement, reasonably acceptable to Lender and Borrower. Borrower assigns, transfers and sets over to Lender and grants to Lender a first security interest under the UCC in such pledge and security agreement, together with all funds and investments on deposit in the pledge account.

ARTICLE XVIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 18.1      Applicable Law.  The Loan Documents are governed by and will be construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, except for matters relating to the creation, perfection and foreclosure of liens and the enforcement of Remedies against the Property which will be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State where the Property is located, except to the extent that the Uniform Commercial Code requires otherwise.

Section 18.2      Usury Limitations.    Borrower and Lender intend to comply with all Laws with respect to the charging and receiving of interest. Any amounts charged or received by Lender for the use or forbearance of the Principal to the extent permitted by Law, will be amortized and spread throughout the Term until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest charged or received by Lender on account of the Principal does not exceed the Maximum Interest Rate. If any amount charged or received under the Loan Documents that is deemed to be interest is determined to be in excess of the amount permitted to be charged or received at the Maximum Interest Rate, the excess will be deemed to be a prepayment of Principal when paid, without premium, and any portion of the excess not capable of being so applied will be refunded to Borrower. If during the Term the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, is eliminated, then for the purposes of the Loan, there will be no Maximum Interest Rate. In addition to the foregoing, Lender and Borrower stipulate and agree that all fees, charges, goods, things in action or any other sums or things of value (collectively, the “Additional Interest”) paid by Borrower to Lender, whether pursuant to the Note, the Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to the Obligations, which under applicable law may be deemed to be interest with respect to the Obligations, for purposes of any applicable law which may limit the maximum rate of interest to be charged with respect to the Obligations, shall be payable by Borrower as, and shall be deemed to be, Additional Interest, and for such purposes only, the agreed upon and contracted for rate of interest described in the Note, Loan Documents or otherwise shall be deemed to be increased by the Additional Interest.

Section 18.3      Lender’s Discretion.      Wherever under the Loan Documents any matter is required to be satisfactory to Lender, Lender has the right to approve or determine any matter or Lender has an election, Lender’s approval, determination or election will be made in Lender’s reasonable discretion unless expressly provided to the contrary.

Section 18.4      Unenforceable Provisions.    If any provision in the Loan Documents is found to be illegal or unenforceable or would operate to invalidate any of the Loan Documents, then the provision will be deemed expunged and the Loan Documents will be construed as though the provision was not contained in the Loan Documents and the remainder of the Loan Documents will remain in full force and effect.

Section 18.5      Survival of Borrower’s Obligations.  Borrower’s representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Loan Documents will continue in full force and effect and survive (i) satisfaction of the Obligations; (ii) release of the lien of the Security Instrument; (iii) assignment or other transfer of all or any portion of Lender’s interest in the Loan Documents or the Property; (iv) Lender’s

 

46


exercise of any of the Remedies or any of Lender’s other rights under the Loan Documents; (v) a Transfer; (vi) amendments to the Loan Documents; and (vii) any other act or omission that might otherwise be construed as a release or discharge of Borrower; provided that all such representations, warranties and covenants shall terminate twenty-four (24) months after the last to occur of (i) through (vii) above other than representations contained in the Sections 7.4 and 9.1 hereof and specifically excluding any representations, warranties and covenants relating to any existing claims or any reasonably anticipated claims.

Section 18.6      Relationship Between Borrower and Lender; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

(a)        Lender is not a partner of or joint venturer with Borrower or any other entity as a result of the Loan or Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents; the relationship between Lender and Borrower is strictly that of creditor and debtor. Each Loan Document is an agreement between the parties to that Loan Document for the mutual benefit of the parties and no entities other than the parties to that Loan Document will be a third party beneficiary or will have any claim against Lender or Borrower by virtue of the Loan Document. As between Lender and Borrower, any actions taken by Lender under the Loan Documents will be taken for Lender’s protection only, and Lender has not and will not be deemed to have assumed any responsibility to Borrower or to any other entity by virtue of Lender’s actions.

(b)        All conditions to Lender’s performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents are imposed solely for the benefit of Lender. No entity other than Lender will have standing to require satisfaction of the conditions in accordance with their provisions or will be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to perform its obligations in the absence of strict compliance with any of the conditions.

Section 18.7      Partial Releases; Extensions; Waivers.    Lender may: (i) release any part of the Property or any entity obligated for any of the Obligations; (ii) extend the time for payment or performance of any of the Obligations or otherwise amend the provisions for payment or performance by agreement with any entity that is obligated for the Obligations or that has an interest in the Property; (iii) accept additional security for the payment and performance of the Obligations; and (iv) waive any entity’s performance of an Obligation, release any entity or individual now or in the future liable for the performance of the Obligation or waive the exercise of any Remedy or option. Lender may exercise any of the foregoing rights without notice, without regard to the amount of any consideration given, without affecting the priority of the Loan Documents, without releasing any entity not specifically released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, without releasing any guarantor(s) or surety(ies) of any of the Obligations, without effecting a novation of the Loan Documents and, with respect to a waiver, without waiving future performance of the Obligation or exercise of the Remedy waived.

Section 18.8      Service of Process.     To the extent permitted by Law, Borrower irrevocably consents to service of process by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to Borrower at its address set forth in the Article entitled “Notices”.

Section 18.9      Entire Agreement.    Oral agreements or commitments between Borrower and Lender to lend money, to extend credit or to forbear from enforcing repayment of a debt, including promises to extend or renew the debt, are not enforceable. Any agreements between Borrower and Lender relating to the Loan are contained in the Loan Documents, which contain the complete and exclusive statement of the agreements between Borrower and Lender, except as Borrower and Lender may later agree in writing to amend the Loan Documents. The language of each Loan Document will be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning and will not be construed against the party by or for whom it was drafted.

 

47


Section 18.10    No Oral Amendment.    The Loan Documents may not be amended, waived or terminated orally or by any act or omission made individually by Borrower or Lender but may be amended, waived or terminated only by a written document signed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment, waiver or termination is sought.

Section 18.11    Lost or Destroyed Note.     If the Note is lost, mutilated, destroyed or stolen, Borrower will deliver to Lender a new, substitute note containing the same provisions as the Note, provided that Borrower is furnished with reasonably satisfactory evidence of the loss, mutilation, destruction or theft of the Note.

Section 18.12    Time of the Essence.   Time is of the essence with respect to Borrower’s payment and performance of the Obligations.

Section 18.13    Subrogation.   If the Principal or any other amount advanced by Lender is used directly or indirectly to pay off, discharge or satisfy all or any part of an encumbrance affecting the Property, then Lender is subrogated to the encumbrance and to any security held by the holder of the encumbrance, all of which will continue in full force and effect in favor of Lender as additional security for the Obligations.

Section 18.14    Joint and Several Liability.    If Borrower consists of more than one person or entity, the obligations and liabilities of each such person or entity under this Loan Agreement are joint and several.

Section 18.15    Successors and Assigns.    The Loan Documents bind the parties to the Loan Documents and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, administrators, executors, agents and representatives and inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors, assigns, heirs, administrators, executors, agents and representatives.

Section 18.16    Duplicates and Counterparts.      Duplicate counterparts of any of the Loan Documents, other than the Note, may be executed and together will constitute a single original document.
