AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the sum of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) cash in hand paid by the parties hereto each to the other and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Loan Information. Lender advises that the principal balance outstanding under the Note as of the Effective Date is $20,948,300.87. Principal and interest on the Loan has been paid through February 1, 2006 in accordance with the terms of the Note. All escrow deposits held by or on behalf of Lender in connection with the Loan Documents shall, from and after the Effective Date, be for the account of Borrower. To the actual knowledge of Lender as of the Effective Date, no Event of Default (as defined in the Mortgage) under the Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing, nor, to the actual knowledge of Lender, have there been any conditions which with the giving of notice or passage of time or both may constitute a default by Prior Owner under the Loan Documents. Lender reserves the right to declare any existing default which subsequently comes to the attention of Lender.

 

2.                                      Organization and Authority of Borrower. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender as follows:

 

(a)                                  Borrower is a limited liability company, duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the state of Illinois, and duly qualified to transact business under the laws of the state in which the Property is located. The taxpayer identification number of the Borrower is 20 ###-###-####. The Illinois

organizational identification number of the Borrower is 01676768. On or prior to the date hereof, Borrower has delivered to Lender a fully executed IRS form W-9.

 

(b)                                 No proceeding is pending for the dissolution or annulment of Borrower, and all license and franchise taxes due and payable by Borrower have been paid in full.

 

(c)                                  Borrower has the full power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and to assume the Loan. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other documents contemplated herein by Borrower (1) has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Borrower, (2) does not conflict with or result in a violation of Borrower’s organizational documents or any judgment, order or decree of any court or arbiter in any proceeding to which Borrower is a party, and (3) does not conflict with, or constitute a material breach of, or constitute a material default under, any contract, agreement or other instrument by which Borrower is bound or to which Borrower is a party.

 

3.                                      Consent of Lender. Lender hereby consents to the sale of the Property by Prior Owner to Borrower and agrees that such sale shall not constitute a default under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this consent to the transfer of the Property shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right of Lender under the Mortgage or the Loan Documents to prohibit any future transfers of the Property or any interest therein, or of the right of the Lender to deny consent to any such transaction in the future in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing consent by Lender, Lender agrees that the sale of the Property by Prior Owner to Borrower, together with the assumption of the Loan by Borrower, does not constitute the exercise of Prior Owner’s one-time right to a Permitted Loan Assumption (as defined in Section 12.3 of the Mortgage), and Lender confirms that Section 12.3 of the Mortgage remains in full force or effect, as modified as set forth in Section 26 below. From and after the Effective Date, references in the Loan Documents to “Maker,” “Mortgagor,” “Debtor,” “Borrower,” or other similar references that prior to the Effective Date referred to Prior Owner shall refer to Borrower, and references in the Loan Documents to “Guarantor” or other similar references that prior to the Effective Date referred to Prior Guarantor shall refer to New Guarantor.

 

4.                                      Assumption and Ratification. Borrower hereby assumes and agrees to comply with all covenants and obligations contained in the Loan Documents and henceforth shall be bound by all the terms thereof from and after the Effective Date. Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Effective Date, Borrower hereby assumes and agrees to pay in full as and when due all payments, the obligations and other indebtedness evidenced by the Note first arising after the Effective Date. As assumed hereby, the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect, except as otherwise provided in Section 26 below. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file any and all UCC financing statements as Lender may deem necessary including, without limitation, financing statements containing the description “all assets of Borrower” or “all personal property of Borrower” or similar language. The Borrower hereby adopts, ratifies and confirms as of the Effective Date all of the representations, warranties and covenants of Prior Owner contained in the Loan Documents, except to the extent modified in Section 26 below.

 

5.                                      Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender as follows:

 

(a)                                  To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, as of the Effective Date, there is no Event of Default (as defined in the Mortgage) or event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents;

 

5



 

(b)                                 Borrower has thoroughly read and reviewed the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents and is familiar with same, and Borrower has entered into this Agreement voluntarily, without duress or undue influence of any kind, and with the advice and representation of legal counsel, if any, selected by Borrower;

 

(c)                                  The assumption of the Loan by Borrower will not result in a violation of any of the covenants contained in Section 8.3 of the Mortgage entitled “ERISA Compliance” or Section 8.4 of the Mortgage entitled “Anti-Terrorism”;

 

(d)                                 Borrower is not opposing and has not opposed Lender in a pending or threatened action, claim or litigation before a legal, equitable or administrative tribunal; and

 

(e)                                  Borrower and its constituent entities are free from bankruptcy.

 

Borrower acknowledges that Lender is relying upon the foregoing representations and warranties as a material inducement to Lender’s execution of this Agreement.

 

6.                                      Release of Claims.  Prior Owner, Prior Guarantor, Borrower and New Guarantor (collectively and individually, “Borrower Parties”), hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, finally and completely RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE Lender, and its respective successors, assigns, affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, officers, shareholders, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, past, present and future (collectively and individually, “Lender Parties”), of and from any and all claims, controversies, disputes, liabilities, obligations, demands, damages, debts, liens, actions and causes of action of any and every nature whatsoever, known or unknown, whether at law, by statute or in equity, in contract or in tort, under state or federal jurisdiction, and whether or not the economic effects of such alleged matters arise or are discovered in the future, which Borrower Parties have as of the Effective Date or may claim to have against Lender Parties arising out of or with respect to any and all transactions relating to the Loan, the Prior Owner’s Loan Documents or the Loan Documents occurring on or before the Effective Date, including any loss, cost or damage of any kind or character arising out of or in any way connected with or in any way resulting from the acts, actions or omissions of Lender Parties occurring on or before the Effective Date. The foregoing release is intended to be, and is, a full, complete and general release in favor of Lender Parties with respect to all claims, demands, actions, causes of action and other matters described therein, including specifically, without limitation, any claims, demands or causes of action based upon allegations of breach of fiduciary duty, breach of any alleged duty of fair dealing in good faith, economic coercion, usury, or any other theory, cause of action, occurrence, matter or thing which might result in liability upon Lender Parties arising or occurring on or before the Effective Date. Each of Prior Owner and Prior Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender that Prior Owner or Prior Guarantor, as applicable, has not previously assigned or transferred to any person or entity any matter released hereunder, and each of Prior Owner and Prior Guarantor agrees to indemnify, protect and hold the Lender Parties harmless from and against any and all claims based on or arising out of any such assignment or transfer. Each of Borrower and New Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender that Borrower or New Guarantor, as applicable, has not previously assigned or transferred to any person or entity any matter released hereunder, and each of Borrower and New Guarantor agrees to indemnify, protect and hold the Lender Parties harmless from and against any and all claims based on or arising out of any such assignment or transfer.

 

7.                                      Default.  Any (i) default by Borrower in the performance of its obligations herein contained, or (ii) any material inaccuracy in the representations and warranties made by Borrower herein, which have not been cured on or before the expiration of any applicable cure periods set forth in the Loan Documents, shall constitute a default under the Loan Documents and shall entitle Lender to exercise all of its rights and remedies set forth in the Loan Documents.

 

6



 

8.                                      Lift of Bankruptcy Stay. Notwithstanding any provision in the Loan Documents to the contrary, in the event Borrower shall make application for or seek relief or protection under any of the sections or chapters of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”), or in the event that any involuntary petition is filed against Borrower under any section of the Code, Borrower will not oppose Lender’s application for immediate relief from any automatic stay imposed by Sec. 362 of the Code, or otherwise, or on or against the exercise of the rights and remedies otherwise available to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents and as otherwise provided by law.

 

9.                                      Fees. Borrower and Lender have agreed that, simultaneously with the execution hereof, all fees, costs, and charges arising in connection with the execution of this Agreement, including without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees, title company fees, title insurance premiums, recording costs, and other closing costs incurred by Lender in connection with this Agreement, will be paid by Borrower as of the Effective Date, and that Lender shall have no obligation whatsoever for payment thereof.

 

10.                               No Offsets or Defenses. Borrower hereby acknowledges, confirms and warrants to Lender that as of the Effective Date, Borrower neither has nor claims any offset, defense, claim, right of set-off or counterclaim against Lender under, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that if any offset, defense, claim, right of set-off or counterclaim exists as of the Effective Date, Borrower does hereby irrevocably and expressly waive the right to assert such matter. Borrower understands and agrees that the foregoing release is in consideration for the agreements of Lender contained herein, and Borrower will receive no further consideration for such release.

 

11.                                 Confirmation. Except as specifically set forth herein, all other terms and conditions of the Loan Documents shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect, the same being confirmed and republished hereby; and except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, Borrower hereby assumes, affirms, reaffirms and republishes all of the warranties, covenants and agreements as set forth in the Loan Documents.

 

12.                                 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, Borrower and Lender hereby agree that all agreements between them with respect to the Loan, including but not limited to the Loan Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money loaned to Borrower, or for the performance or payment of any covenant or obligation contained herein or therein, exceed the maximum rate of interest under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents at the time performance of such provisions shall be due would involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, automatically, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any circumstance Lender should ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law which would exceed the Maximum Rate, such excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing with respect to the Loan or on account of the other indebtedness secured by the Loan Documents or Borrower’s Loan Documents and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the Loan and such other indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Loan and other indebtedness of Borrower to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest on account of all such indebtedness is uniform throughout the actual term of the Loan and does not exceed the Maximum Rate throughout the entire term

of the Loan, as appropriate. The terms and provisions of this Section 12 shall control every other provision of this Agreement and all other agreements between Borrower and Lender.

 

13.                               Modifications, Waiver. No waiver, modification, amendment, discharge, or change of any of the Loan Documents shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the party against which the enforcement of such modification, waiver, amendment, discharge, or change is sought.

 

14.                               No Novation.  THE PARTIES DO NOT INTEND THIS AGREEMENT NOR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY TO BE, AND THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO BE, A NOVATION OF ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS OWING BY THE BORROWER UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. FURTHER, THE PARTIES DO NOT INTEND THIS AGREEMENT NOR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY TO AFFECT THE PRIORITY OF ANY OF THE LENDER’S LIENS IN ANY OF THE COLLATERAL SECURING THE EXISTING NOTE IN ANY WAY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE LIENS, SECURITY INTERESTS AND ENCUMBRANCES CREATED BY THE MORTGAGE.

 

15.                               Recitals True.  Prior Owner, Prior Guarantor, Borrower, New Guarantor and Lender each hereby approve the recitations set forth in the preamble of this Agreement and agree that said recitations are true and correct in all respects.
