6.5          Endorsement to Title Insurance Policy.  Upon completion of all Improvements, the Title Insurance Company shall give Lender a final endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy and an ALTA 3.1 Endorsement (with parking), updating all survey-related coverages to reflect the Project as completed, with no additional exceptions to coverage, and otherwise acceptable to Lender.

 

6.6          Release of Balance of TI Funds.  At such time as at least 93% of the rentable space in the Project shall be leased to tenants who are (a) in occupancy, (b) paying rent and (c) not owed any amounts for tenant improvements or leasing commissions, then Lender shall direct the Pledge Agent to disburse the balance, if any, of the TI Funds directly to Borrower.

6.8          Failure to Advance Funds by the Completion Date.  Subject to the provisions of Section 6.6 hereof, any portion of the proceeds of the Loan that remain undisbursed as of the date specified in Section 1.4 hereof shall be applied, at the sole discretion of the Lender, to reduce and prepay the principal balance of the Loan and to pay the applicable Prepayment Premium (as defined in the Note) with respect to such prepayment of principal. In connection with such optional application by the Lender, Borrower shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prepay an additional amount of the principal of the Loan so as to cause the conditions to release of the Payment Guaranty to be met.

 

ARTICLE VII

DISBURSEMENTS

 

7.1          General Provisions Relating to Disbursements.  The parties acknowledge that the Servicer is acting as the adviser to Lender with respect to disbursement of the Loan proceeds. Servicer is solely the agent of the Lender and has no contractual relationship with, and owes no duty to, Borrower with respect to the Loan.

 

In connection with all disbursements of the Loan proceeds, other than those relating solely to disbursement of the TI Funds for tenant improvements and leasing costs associate with the, Borrower shall submit duplicates of all Requests for Advance, directly to the Servicer and the Lender. In connection with disbursements of the TI Funds, Borrower shall submit Requests for Advance to the Lender and the Pledge Agent. (For the avoidance of doubt, any Request for Advance involving disbursements for TI Funds and other construction costs shall be sent to Servicer, Lender and Pledge Agent.). Borrower acknowledges that Servicer is acting as Lender’s adviser as to the appropriateness of each Request for Advance, and accordingly Borrower agrees to respond to any reasonable requests by Servicer for additional information relating to any Request for Advance. Lender shall retain and exercise its own discretion in acting upon any advice it receives from the Servicer regarding any Request for Advance; Lender shall not be obliged to direct the Pledge Agent to advance funds solely because Servicer so recommends, nor shall Lender be precluded from making a disbursement if Servicer recommends against doing so.

 

13



 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lender declines to make the full disbursement requested in any Request for Advance, Lender shall provide an explanation of the reasons for such decision. Borrower acknowledges that Lender is relying, in part, on recommendations to be provided by the Servicer with respect to such decisions and that the Servicer’s obligation to Lender is to provide a reasonable explanation some time after the Servicer provides a recommendation not to fund in full.

 

Lender represents to Borrower that Servicer is bound by the terms of the Construction Loan Servicing Agreement to make a recommendation as to the propriety of any request for a disbursement within five (5) business days of receipt of such request from Borrower. Lender will take reasonable commercial steps to see that Servicer adheres to such timing, but Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall not be liable to the Borrower for delays that occur because of Servicer’s failure to advise Lender in a timely manner, and Lender shall not be obliged to act upon any Request for Advance to the extent that Lender has not received advice from Servicer with respect thereto. Lender shall act upon Borrower’s request for a disbursement within five (5) days of receipt of a recommendation with respect thereto from the Servicer.

 

7.2          Monthly Payouts.  After opening the Loan, disbursements for the construction of the Improvements will be made from time to time as construction progresses, but no more frequently than once in any calendar month and no more frequently than twice in any calendar month as to the three (3) calendar months after the Improvements open for business to the public, each of which disbursements shall occur no sooner than 14 days after the previous disbursement

 

7.3          Amount of Disbursement.  Subject to compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Lender shall direct Pledge Agent to make the disbursement of Loan Proceeds for the construction of the Improvements so long as the Loan is in balance. Retainages shall be separately treated with respect to particular discrete Project Elements, and shall be released or held as progress on the particular Project Element is made, without regard to state of completion of other Project Elements, Disbursements shall be subject to a 10% retainage from all contractors and materialmen, provided that retainages shall not be withheld with respect to construction of Big Boxes, unless the lease pursuant to which such construction is undertaken provides for retainages. There shall be no retainage for soft costs. The retainage as to the site work shall be disbursed upon the written request of Borrower after: (i) substantial completion of that portion of the Improvements constituting site work to the satisfaction of Lender in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and in accordance with all applicable building codes and (ii) Lender’s receipt of evidence satisfactory to it of such completion including, without limitation, a certificate of substantial completion with respect thereto on AIA Document G704 (or equivalent) by Borrower, borrower’s general contractor and Borrower’s architect. The retainage as to those portions of Improvements representing building shells (each a “Building Shell”) shall be disbursed upon the written request of Borrower after (A) substantial completion of the work as to the Building Shell to the satisfaction of Lender in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and in accordance with all applicable building codes and (B) Lender’s receipt of evidence satisfactory to it of such completion including, without limitation, a certificate of substantial completion with respect to thereto on AIA Document G704 (or equivalent) by Borrower, Borrower’s general contract and Borrower’s architect and, as applicable, a certificate(s) of occupancy issued by the governmental authority having jurisdiction to do so as to such work. The retainage as to the balance of a

 

14



 

Project Element shall be disbursed upon the written request of Borrower after: (A) substantial completion of all the Improvements constituting such Project Element to the satisfaction of Lender in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and in accordance with all applicable building codes and (B) occupancy of the premises by each applicable tenant and such tenant being open for business (provided that the requirement that a tenant be open for business shall not apply to a Big Box unless such is a requirement under the document governing reimbursement of such tenant by the Borrower) and (C) Lender’s receipt of evidence satisfactory to it of such completion, which may include, without limitation, a final, unconditional certificate(s) of occupancy issued by the governmental authority having jurisdiction to do so as to all Improvements constituting such Project Element (or temporary or conditional certificate(s) of occupancy if such is the practice in the jurisdiction where the Project is situated, with final to be provided when available); a certificate of substantial completion of all Improvements constituting such Project Element on AIA Document G704 (or equivalent) by Borrower, Borrower’s general contractor and Borrower’s architect; an estoppel certificate (acceptable in form and substance to Lender in its discretion) from each tenant using and/or occupying all or any part of the Improvement(s) (which estoppel certificate must indicate such tenant’s acceptance of the applicable Improvements, that such Improvements are in compliance with the terms of the applicable lease and that there are no outstanding “punch list” items) and, if required by Lender, a confirming certificate or report by Lender’s inspecting architect. The reduction or release of any of the retainage shall be subject to adjustment by Lender to withhold an amount equal to one and one-half times Lender’s estimated cost to correct any defects in the Improvements and/or to complete that portion of the Improvements for which the retainage is to be released in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and all applicable building codes and in a good and workmanlike manner. Lender shall have no obligation to disburse proceeds of the Loan in connection with materials which have not been delivered to the Property and incorporated into the Improvements.

 

The retainage shall be disbursed with the final disbursement, upon compliance with the requirements set forth in Article VI and in Article VII above, unless Lender, at its sole option, agrees to an earlier release of all or part of the retainage.

 

7.4          Payment of Disbursements.  At Lender’s sole option, disbursements shall be made in whole or in part (i) into a deposit account in Borrower’s name, (ii) directly to Lender for all amounts then due Lender, including, without limitation, interest expense; draw inspection fees; escrow funding and partial release, loan origination and delinquent payment fees; (iii) to the Title Insurance Company to be disbursed as provided in the Disbursement Agreement; (iv) directly to Borrower, (v) directly to any Contractor or materialman; and/or (vi) as otherwise determined by Lender.

 

7.5          Acquiescence Not a Waiver.  To the extent that Lender may have acquiesced in noncompliance with any requirements precedent to the disbursement of Loan Proceeds, such acquiescence will not constitute a waiver by Lender and Lender at any time after such acquiescence may require Borrower to comply with all such requirements.

 

7.6          Loan Expenses.  At the time of initial disbursement of Loan Proceeds, Lender may pay from the Loan Proceeds all agreed upon loan expenses, and thereafter, may, if it so

elects, pay to itself from Loan Proceeds, interest and principal due on the Note and any other loan expenses.

 

ARTICLE VIII

COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

 

Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender as follows:

 

8.1          Costs and Expenses.  Borrower will pay all costs and expenses required to satisfy the conditions of this Agreement, including but not limited to all taxes and recording expenses, Lender’s attorneys fees, surveys, appraisals, title insurance, title updates, real estate taxes, and insurance policies. Borrower shall also pay to Lender the per draw inspection fees to cover construction draw costs incurred by Servicer and/or Lender, payable at the time of each draw requests. Borrower shall also pay Lender all costs and expenses charged to Lender by Servicer pursuant to the Construction Loan Servicing Agreement.

 

8.2          Inspections.  Borrower will permit Servicer, Lender and representatives thereof to enter upon the Premises at all reasonable times to inspect the Improvements and the construction thereof and all materials, fixtures and articles used or to be used in the construction and to examine all detailed plans, shop drawings, specifications and other records which relate to the Improvements and will cooperate, and cause all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen to cooperate with Servicer and Lender to enable it to perform its functions hereunder. Lender may, at its discretion, withhold a draw payment until after Servicer’s or Lender’s architect or inspector has inspected the work performed.

 

8.3         Construction of Improvements.  Borrower has heretofore commenced construction of the Improvements. Borrower will cause the construction of the Improvements to be prosecuted with due diligence and continuity and will complete the same in accordance with the Plans and Specifications on or before the Completion Date, free and clear of liens or claims for liens.

 

8.4          Brokers.  Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless Lender from and against all claims of brokers and agents arising by reason of the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

8.5          Bill of Sale.  Borrower will deliver to Servicer and Lender on demand (from Servicer or Lender) any contracts, bills of sale, statements, receipted vouchers or agreements, under which Borrower claims title to any materials, fixtures or articles incorporated in the Improvements or subject to the lien of the Mortgage and/or Loan Documents.

 

8.6          Correction of Defects.  Borrower will correct all defects in the Improvements and any departure from the Plans and Specifications not approved by Lender. The advance of any Loan Proceeds, whether before or after such defects or departures from the Plans and Specifications are discovered by or called to the attention of Lender, will not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to require compliance with this covenant.

 

8.7          Changes.  No single change costing more than $10,000.00, nor any changes costing in the aggregate more than $25,000.00 shall be made in the approved Plans and

 

16



 

Specifications without Lender’s prior written consent. To the extent that the lease demising a Big Box gives Borrower discretion to approve changes, then Borrower shall not approve any changes in excess of the foregoing limits without Lender’s prior consent.

 

8.8          Advances to Cure Default.  In the event that Borrower fails to perform any of Borrower’s covenants or agreements under this Agreement, Lender may, but shall not be required to, perform any or all of such covenants and agreements, and any amounts expended by Lender in so doing will constitute additional indebtedness under this Agreement and under the Mortgage.

 

8.9          Loan in Balance.

 

(a)           Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Loan at all times shall be in balance. The Loan shall be deemed to be in balance only when the undistributed Loan Proceeds equal or exceed the amount necessary to complete the Improvements. The cost to complete the Improvements or the phase of the Improvements, as the case may be, shall be based upon Lender’s estimate of the cost of construction from time to time to pay for all work and labor done or to be done and all materials furnished or to be furnished for the completion of the construction of the Improvements in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, and also to pay the amounts necessary for the estimated or actual costs of start-up expenses, tenant finish improvements, leasing commissions, initial operating deficits, including all operating expenses and interest expenses through the date Lender projects breakeven operations, the expense of items set forth in Section 8.1 of this Agreement, and all other nonconstruction costs associated with the Loan and with Borrower’s actual or proposed use of the Premises and Improvements.

 

(b)           If for any reason the amount of such undistributed proceeds shall at any time be or become insufficient for such purpose under (a) above, regardless of how such conditions may be caused, Borrower will (within 15 days after written notification from Lender) pay all costs of the Improvements until the Loan and each phase of the work is in balance and until such payments have been made Lender will not be obligated to make any further disbursements hereunder. During construction, any income received by Borrower relative to the Project shall be applied to construction period interest under the Note.

 

8.10        Development Fees.  In addition to the other conditions contained herein and in any other Loan Document, development fees will be disbursed as construction progresses but at no time shall the amount disbursed exceed the percentage that the Project is complete.

 

ARTICLE IX

9.1          Events of Default by Borrower.  The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” as such term is used herein:

(e)           The reasonable disapproval by Lender at any time of any construction work and the failure of Borrower to cause the same to be corrected to the satisfaction of Lender within 15 days provided, however, if within such 15 day period Borrower has made a good faith effort to comply with the foregoing requirements but has not yet been able to complete same and such effects continue and it reasonably appears that they will be successful, then the time to cure such default shall be extended by such reasonable time as determined by Lender so long as Borrower continuously and diligently prosecutes such correction;

 

(f)            The use of any materials, fixtures or articles in the construction of the Improvements that are not in accordance with the Plans and Specifications as approved by Lender;

 

(g)           The bankruptcy or insolvency of any general contractor or subcontractor under contract to work on the Improvements and failure of Borrower to procure a contract or subcontract with a new substitute contractor or subcontractor satisfactory to Lender within 30 days from the occurrence of such bankruptcy or insolvency.

 

(h)           If Borrower or any Guarantor files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or is adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or files any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under the present or any future federal bankruptcy act or any other present or future applicable federal, state or other statute or law, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or seeks or consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Borrower or any Guarantor of all or any substantial part of their properties or of the Premises;

9.2          Lender’s Remedies in the Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender, in addition to all remedies conferred upon Lender by law and/or equity and by the terms of the Loan Documents, may, in its sole discretion, pursue any one or more of the following remedies concurrently or successively, it being the intent hereof that none of such remedies shall be to the exclusion of any other:

Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for purposes aforesaid, Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Lender its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitute in the premises to complete construction and equipping of the Improvements in the name of Borrower; to use unadvanced funds remaining in the Pledge Account under this Agreement or which may be reserved, or escrowed or set aside for any purpose hereunder at any time to complete the Improvements; to make changes in the Plans and Specifications necessary or desirable to complete the Improvements in substantially the manner contemplated by the Plans and Specifications; to retain or employ new general contracts, subcontractors, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; to pay, settle, or compromise all existing bills and claims, which may be lien or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens against the Premises or security interests against fixtures or equipment, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the construction of the Improvements or for the clearance of title; to provide for and cause the completion of any tenant work, tenant furnishings and/or tenant Improvements for all or any portion of the Improvements on the Premises; and to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf; to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Improvements or the Premises or fixtures or equipment; it being understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked; and/or
