ARTICLE I 

LOAN PROVISIONS

 

Section 1.1          Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender has agreed to make the Loan to Borrower in the principal amount of FOURTEEN MILLION SIXTY-ONE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-EIGHT AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($14,061,658.00), the proceeds of which shall be used to finance Borrower’s acquisition of the Property.

Section 1.2          Term of Loan. On the Maturity Date, the entire Debt, if not sooner paid or payable, shall become due and payable in full.

Section 1.3          Disbursement and Prepayment.

(a)             Loan Funding. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, proceeds of the Loan in an amount of ELEVEN MILLION SIX HUNDRED EIGHTY-THREE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED NINETY-THREE AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($11,683,793.00) shall be funded on the Closing Date. The Earnout Proceeds shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 1.16 herein.

(b)            Prepayment. The indebtedness evidenced by the Note may be prepaid in whole or in part, at any time as set forth in the Note, subject, however, to any Interest Rate Agreements and any payments due thereunder and to payment of any break funding indemnification amounts owing pursuant to Section 1.7 below. Any amounts prepaid on the indebtedness evidenced by the Note may not be reborrowed.

Section 1.4          Interest Rates.

(a)             Except as provided in Section 1.5, interest on the Loan shall accrue at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the sum of: (i) LIBOR in effect on each Reset Date plus (ii) one hundred seventy-five basis points (1.75%). LIBOR shall be adjusted on and as of: (i) each Reset Date, and (ii) the effective date of any change in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage. The Lender shall give prompt notice to the Borrower of LIBOR as determined or adjusted in accordance herewith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error;

 

(b)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary or inconsistent herein, in the event Lender determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that LIBOR is not available as a result of the conditions contained in Section 1.5 herein, interest on the Loan shall accrue at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the sum of: (i) the Base Rate; plus (ii) seventy-five basis points (0.75%) as provided in Sections 1.5(a) and 1.5(b) hereof. If and when the Prime Rate changes, the rate of interest with respect to any amounts hereunder to which the Base Rate applies will change automatically without notice to the Borrower, effective on the date of any such change; and

(c)             From and after such time as an Event of Default occurs under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or if the Loan is not paid in full on or prior to the Maturity Date, the unpaid balance outstanding under the Loan shall bear interest at an interest rate equal to the applicable interest rate, plus five percent (5%) (“Default Rate”).

Section 1.5          LIBOR.

(a)             Unavailability of Deposits or Inability to Ascertain LIBOR. If the Lender determines in its reasonable discretion (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the eurodollar market generally, deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to banks in the eurodollar market for the selected term, or adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower. Thereafter, until Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist: (a) the availability of LIBOR shall be suspended; and (b) the interest rate for all amounts outstanding under the Loan shall be converted on the next succeeding Reset Date to the Interest Rate as provided in Section 1.4(b).

(b)            Change in Applicable Laws, Regulations, Etc. In addition, if, after the date of this Agreement, the Lender shall determine in Lender’s sole but reasonable discretion (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that any enactment, promulgation or adoption of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Lender with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Lender to make or maintain or fund loans based on LIBOR, the Lender shall notify the Borrower. Upon receipt of such notice, until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply: (a) the availability of LIBOR shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on all amounts outstanding under the Loan shall be converted to the Interest Rate as provided in Section 1.4(b) either (i) on the next succeeding Reset Date if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain or fund loans based on LIBOR to such day, or (ii) immediately if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain or fund loans based on LIBOR.

 

 

Section 1.6          Increased Costs; Yield Protection. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, together with the written evidence of the justification therefor, all direct costs incurred, any losses suffered or payments made by Lender by reason of any Change in Law (as hereinafter defined) imposing any reserve, deposit, allocation of capital, tax or similar requirement (including without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) on the Lender, its holding company or any of their respective assets in connection with any amounts outstanding on the Loan. “Change in Law” means the occurrence, after the date of this Agreement, of any of the following: (a) the adoption or taking effect of any law, rule, regulation or treaty, (b) any change in any law, rule, regulation or treaty or in the administration, interpretation, implementation or application thereof by any governmental authority or (c) the making or issuance of any request, rule, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any governmental authority; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basle III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “Change in Law”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

Section 1.7          Break Funding Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Lender against any liabilities, losses or expenses including, without limitation, loss of margin, any loss or expense sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, and any loss or expense incurred in connection with funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any amounts hereunder (or any part thereof) bearing interest at LIBOR which the Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of either (i) the Borrower’s failure to make a payment on the due date thereof, (ii) the Borrower’s revocation (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or in part of any notice given to Lender to request, convert, renew or prepay any amounts bearing interest at LIBOR; or (iii) the Borrower’s payment or prepayment (whether voluntary, after acceleration of the maturity of the Debt or otherwise) or conversion of any advance bearing interest at LIBOR on a day other than the regularly scheduled due date therefor. A notice as to any amounts payable pursuant to this paragraph given to the Borrower by the Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and shall be payable upon demand. The Borrower’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall survive the payment in full of all amounts payable hereunder.

Section 1.8          Computation of Interest. Interest accruing on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan shall be computed based on the actual number of days that principal is outstanding over a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days. In no event will the rate of interest hereunder exceed the maximum rate allowed by law.

 

The Interest Rates described in Section 1.4 of this Agreement reference nominal interest rates described as an annual or per annum rate of interest. Notwithstanding, interest on the Loan shall be computed and charged by Lender using a banking convention sometimes referred to as “bank interest” and which provides for interest calculated on the basis of a 360 day year.

Using this method of interest rate computation, Lender divides the nominal interest rate by 360 to produce a daily interest factor which is then applied to the outstanding principal balance for the actual number of days outstanding. This has the effect of increasing the effective interest rate over a calendar year by a factor of 1/72, or 1.01389.

Borrower hereby acknowledges that it understands the difference between these methods and the effect on the interest Borrower will be obligated to pay to Lender hereunder; that Borrower is entering into a business transaction with Lender as an informed borrower; and, that Borrower has been represented and advised by its own legal counsel.

Section 1.9          Principal and Interest Payments.

(a)             Commencing on the first Reset Date after the date of this Note, and continuing on each succeeding Reset Date thereafter through and including the month in which the Maturity Date occurs, Borrower shall make monthly payments of interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan computed at the applicable interest rates as set forth in Section 1.4; and

(b)            A final payment of the entire Debt shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

If any payment under this Agreement shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to charge the Borrower’s deposit account at the Lender for any payment when due hereunder.

Section 1.10       Late Charge. Borrower further agrees to pay a “Late Charge” of five percent (5%) of any payments due hereunder if such amount is paid more than ten (10) days after the due date thereof, to cover the extra expense involved in handling delinquent payments. This provision shall not be deemed to excuse a late payment or be deemed a waiver of any other rights Lender may have, including the right to declare the entire principal and interest due on the Note immediately due and payable. The final payment of the entire Debt due and payable on the Maturity Date shall not be subject to the Late Charge under this Section 1.10.

Section 1.11       Payments. All payments of principal and interest on the Loan and all payments of any other fees and costs due hereunder shall be made in immediately available funds. All such payments shall be made to Lender at the address specified in Section 8.8, not later than 2:00 P.M., Chicago time, on the date due, and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by Lender on the next Business Day.

 

Section 1.12       Loan Fees. Borrower shall pay to Lender a non-refundable loan commitment fee for the Loan in the amount of SEVENTY THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED EIGHT AND 29/100 DOLLARS ($70,308.29) (“Loan Commitment Fee”). On or before the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay Lender the unpaid balance of the Loan Commitment Fee. In the event Borrower exercises the First Extension Option, Borrower shall pay Lender a non-refundable fee for the First Extension Option in the amount equal to 0.15% of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan on the Initial Maturity Date (“First Extension Option Fee”). In the event Borrower exercises the Second Extension Option, Borrower shall pay Lender a non-refundable fee for the Second Extension Option in the amount equal to 0.15% of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan on the First Extended Maturity Date (“Second Extension Option Fee”). The Loan Fee shall be deemed fully earned on the Closing Date and the First Extension Option Fee shall be deemed fully earned on the Initial Maturity Date and the Second Extension Option Fee shall be deemed fully earned on the First Extended Maturity Date. The Loan Fee, the First Extension Option Fee and the Second Extension Option Fee shall not be refundable for any reason.

Section 1.13       Application of Payments. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all payments and prepayments on account of the Loan shall be applied as follows: (i) first, to fees, expenses, costs and other similar amounts then due and payable to Lender, including without limitation, any late charges; (ii) second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Note; (iii) third, to the payment of principal due in the month in which the payment or prepayment is made, if any; (iv) fourth, to any escrows, impounds or other amounts which may then be due and payable under the Loan Documents; (v) fifth, to any other amount then due Lender hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents; and (vi) last, to the unpaid principal balance of the Note. Any prepayment shall not extend or postpone the due date or reduce the amount of any subsequent monthly payment of principal or interest due hereunder. After an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, payments may be applied to amounts owed hereunder and under the Note and other Loan Documents in such order as Lender shall determine, in its sole discretion.

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

 

 

Section 1.14       Extension Options.

(a)             Borrower will have a one (1) time option to extend (the “First Extension Option”) the Initial Maturity Date to the First Extended Maturity Date, if (and only if) each of the following conditions (collectively, the “First Extension Conditions”) have been satisfied within the applicable time periods:

(i)              Borrower shall have delivered to Lender written notice (the “First Extension Notice”) of Borrower’s decision to extend the Initial Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 1.14(a) no earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days and no less than sixty (60) days prior to the Initial Maturity Date. The First Extension Notice, upon its delivery to Lender, shall be irrevocable subject to and provided the First Extension Update Appraisal Requirement (as hereinafter defined) is satisfied; and

(ii)            At the time Borrower gives the First Extension Notice and on the Initial Maturity Date, no Event of Default shall exist as certified by Borrower to Lender in a Certificate of No Event of Default to be executed by Borrower in favor of Lender dated and delivered to Lender as of the Initial Maturity Date; and

(iii)          On or before the Initial Maturity Date, Borrower shall have paid or provided Lender sufficient funds for the payment of all Loan Expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the First Extension Option including, without limitation, the First Extension Option Fee and the cost of the First Extension Update Appraisal; and

(iv)          Upon receipt of the First Extension Notice, Lender shall order a current appraisal of the Property at Borrower’s expense (the “First Extension Update Appraisal”). It is a condition precedent to Borrower’s exercise of the First Extension Option that the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan on the date of the First Extension Notice shall not exceed Fifty Percent (50%) of the “as is” appraised value of the Property as reasonably determined by Lender (the “First Extension Update Appraisal Requirement”). In the event that the First Extension Update Appraisal Requirement is not satisfied, Borrower may pay a principal payment on the Loan on or before the Initial Maturity Date in such amount as determined by Lender so that the outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of the Initial Maturity Date shall not exceed Fifty Percent (50%) of the “as is” appraised value of the Property as reasonably determined by Lender; and

 

(v)            Concurrently with the First Extension Notice, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender a duly completed Borrower’s Covenant Compliance Certificate certified as true and correct by an appropriate officer of the Managing Member of Borrower, containing a computation and a confirmation that the Property has a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.50:1.00, as of the date of the First Extension Notice, together with such supporting documentation necessary for Lender to determine such compliance. In the event that the foregoing Debt Service Coverage Ratio is not satisfied, Borrower may pay a principal payment on the Loan on or before the Initial Maturity Date in such amount as determined by Lender that is necessary for the Property to meet the foregoing Debt Service Coverage Ratio; and

(vi)          Each representation and warranty made in the Loan Documents by a Loan Party shall continue to be true and correct in all material respects as if remade on the Initial Maturity Date; and

(vii)        On or before the Initial Maturity Date, each Loan Party shall have delivered to Lender its most current financial statements certified by an appropriate officer of the Managing Member of Borrower for Borrower and by an appropriate officer of Guarantor for Guarantor showing no Material Adverse Change and a certification from such Loan Party that since the date of such statements there has been no Material Adverse Change; and

(viii)      On or before the Initial Maturity Date, each Loan Party shall have delivered such documents reasonably required by Lender in connection with the First Extension Option, including, without limitation, a reaffirmation of the Guaranty (on a form acceptable to Lender).

In the event that any of the foregoing First Extension Conditions is not satisfied strictly in accordance with the terms hereof or waived by Lender in writing, the First Extension Option shall be null and void, and the Loan shall mature on the Initial Maturity Date.

(b)            Second Extension Option. If the Initial Maturity Date has been extended to the First Extended Maturity Date, Borrower will have a one (1) time option to extend (“Second Extension Option”) the First Extended Maturity Date to the Second Extended Maturity Date, if (and only if) each of the following conditions (collectively, the “Second Extension Conditions”) have been satisfied within the applicable time periods:

(i)              Borrower shall have delivered to Lender written notice (“Second Extension Notice”) of Borrower’s decision to extend the First Extended Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 1.14(b) no earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days and no later than sixty (60) days prior to the First Extended Maturity Date. The Second Extension Notice, upon its delivery to Lender, shall be irrevocable; and

 

(ii)            At the time Borrower gives the Second Extension Notice and on the First Extended Maturity Date, no Event of Default shall exist as certified by Borrower to Lender in a Certificate of No Event of Default to be executed by Borrower in favor of Lender dated and delivered to Lender as of the First Extended Maturity Date; and

(iii)          On or before the First Extended Maturity Date, Borrower shall have paid all Loan Expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Second Extension Option including, without limitation, the Second Option Extension Fee; and

(iv)          Concurrently with the Second Extension Notice, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender a duly completed Borrower’s Covenant Compliance Certificate certified as true and correct by an appropriate officer of the Managing Member of Borrower, containing a computation and a confirmation that the Property has a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.50:1.00, as of the date of the Second Extension Notice, together with such supporting documentation necessary for Lender to determine such compliance. In the event that the foregoing Debt Service Coverage Ratio is not satisfied, Borrower may pay a principal payment on the Loan on or before the First Extended Maturity Date in such amount as determined by Lender that is necessary for the Property to meet the foregoing Debt Service Coverage Ratio; and

(v)            Each representation and warranty made in the Loan Documents by a Loan Party shall continue to be true and correct in all material respects as if remade on the First Extended Maturity Date; and

(vi)          On or before the First Extended Maturity Date, each Loan Party shall have delivered to Lender its most current financial statements certified by an appropriate officer of the Managing Member of Borrower for Borrower and by an appropriate officer of Guarantor for Guarantor showing no Material Adverse Change and a certification from such Loan Party that since the date of such statements there has been no Material Adverse Change; and

(vii)        On or before the First Extended Maturity Date, each Loan Party shall have delivered such documents reasonably required by Lender in connection with the Second Extension Option, including, without limitation, a reaffirmation of the Guaranty (on a form acceptable to Lender).

In the event that any of the foregoing Second Extension Conditions is not satisfied strictly in accordance with the terms hereof or waived by Lender in writing, the Second Extension Option shall be null and void, and the Loan shall mature on the First Extended Maturity Date.

 

Section 1.15       Interest Rate Protection Products. Borrower shall afford Lender a right of first opportunity to provide all Interest Rate Protection Products but shall not be required to purchase such Interest Rate Protection Products from Lender. If Borrower purchases an Interest Rate Protection Product from Lender or any Affiliate of Lender, Borrower shall enter into the customary ISDA (International Swap Dealer’s Association) form of agreement with schedules to be mutually agreed upon between the parties (“Interest Rate Agreement”) relating to such Interest Rate Protection Product. Any indebtedness incurred pursuant to an Interest Rate Agreement entered into by Borrower with either Lender or any Affiliate of Lender, shall constitute indebtedness secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the same extent and effect as if the terms and provisions of such Interest Rate Agreement were set forth herein, whether or not the aggregate of such indebtedness, together with the disbursements made by Lender of the proceeds of the Loan, shall exceed the face amount of the Note. Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to Lender any and all Interest Rate Protection Products purchased or to be purchased by Borrower in connection with the Loan, as additional security for the Loan, and agrees to provide Lender with any additional documentation requested by Lender in order to confirm or perfect such security interest during the term of the Loan. If Borrower obtains an Interest Rate Protection Product from a party other than Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender such third party’s consent to such collateral assignment. No Interest Rate Protection Product purchased from a third party may be secured by the Property or an interest in Borrower.

Section 1.16       Disbursement of Earnout Proceeds. Provided no Event of Default exists, up to a maximum of TWO MILLION THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY-SEVEN THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED SIXTY-FIVE AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($2,377,865.00) (“Earnout Proceeds”) of the proceeds of the Loan shall be disbursed in accordance with this Section 1.16. The Earnout Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to pay fifty percent (50%) of the “earnout dollars” due Seller on each new fully executed Lease for vacant space (“Earnout Lease”) procured by Seller pursuant to Paragraph 15 of the Purchase Agreement (“Seller Earnout”). The Seller Earnout and the Earnout Proceeds shall apply only to the vacant space as of the Closing Date not to exceed 13,387 square feet. The Borrower shall be responsible for funding fifty percent (50%) of all Seller Earnout dollars (“Borrower Earnout Payment”). The Guarantor shall also be responsible for the Borrower Earnout Payment when due by Borrower to Seller under Paragraph 15 of the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 3 of the Guaranty if Borrower fails to timely make such payment. Each advance of the Earnout Proceeds shall be calculated by dividing the total base rent (net of any concessions) due during the first year of the Earnout Lease by 6.5989%. For example, if the Earnout Lease is for 5,000 square feet and the base rent is twenty dollars ($20.00) per foot, the total Seller Earnout will be $1,515,151.52 ($100,000 ÷ 6.5989%). Lender will advance $757,575.76 ($1,515,151.52 x 50%) and Borrower will fund $757,575.76 ($1,515,151.52 x 50%). No Earnout Proceeds shall be disbursed if all of the following conditions precedent have not been satisfied: (i) the Earnout Lease (unless it is a Small Space Lease) is approved by Lender pursuant to Section 5.13 herein; (ii) the rent due under the Earnout Lease must be at a minimum equal to the pro forma rent figures provided by Borrower to Lender for the subject vacant space as set forth in Schedule 1.16 to this Agreement; (iii) the Earnout Lease is fully executed and a copy has been delivered to Lender; (iv) the subject tenant has taken occupancy of the leased premises under the subject Earnout Lease and is paying the full rent as due under the Earnout Lease; (v) the subject tenant has provided Lender with an

 

Estoppel Certificate and if the subject Tenant’s Lease shall be in excess of 5,000 square feet or will be of record, a Subordination, Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement acceptable to Lender; (vi) Lender shall have received “date down” and pending disbursement endorsements to the Lender’s Title Insurance Policy obtained at Borrower’s expense extending the coverage to include the date and amount of the advance for the Earnout Proceeds and such date down endorsement shall show no exceptions to title other than the Permitted Exceptions; and (vii) Lender has received confirmation acceptable to Lender indicating that the Borrower and/or Guarantor has funded Borrower’s equity share of the Seller Earnout which has been guaranteed by Guarantor. Borrower shall only be permitted to receive Earnout Proceeds for the first thirty (30) months following the Closing Date.

(i)              declare the entire unpaid Debt to be immediately due and payable without any further notice, demand or other action by Lender;

(ii)            subject to the terms of the Mortgage, institute proceedings, judicial or otherwise, or take any other action, for the enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, including the appointment of a receiver, the foreclosure, auction or sale (public or private) of the Collateral or any portion thereof;

(ix)          apply any sums held by the Lender, or held in escrow or otherwise by Lender belonging to Borrower to the payment of the Debt; and

(b)            Proceeds. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, or any other sums collected by Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents (including the collection of rents), may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt or any part thereof in such priority and amounts as Lender in its sole and absolute discretion shall determine.

(c)             Lender Action. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any Obligation, take any action in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the Collateral and/or take any action to cure any Event of Default.

(e)             No Waiver, Etc. The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term, covenant or condition contained herein or in the other Loan Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver, modification, amendment or estoppel thereof and Borrower or other Person shall not be entitled to rely on such action or inaction. Borrower shall not be relieved of or released from its Obligations by reason of (i) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower to take any action to enforce any of the provisions hereof or any other Loan Document, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Collateral, or of the Guarantor or any Person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Loan Documents. Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any Collateral held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to recover against the Collateral under the Loan Documents. The rights of Lender under each of the Loan Documents shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision of any Loan Document to the exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.

All Protective Advances made by Lender under the Loan Documents shall be evidenced by, and be deemed to be advanced as principal under the Note, regardless of whether any such Protective Advance causes the principal balance of the Note to exceed the original stated amount of the Note, and shall be due and payable on demand. Borrower expressly acknowledges that Lender is authorized to make Protective Advances regardless of whether Lender shall have commenced any action or proceeding against Borrower. Subject to Section 8.17(b), the making of any Protective Advance by Lender shall constitute an automatic Event of Default hereunder (with no notice, cure or grace period).
