LOAN TERMS

 

Section 2.1                                      The Loan and The Note.

 

Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make the Loan, and Borrower agrees to accept the Loan, in the principal amount equal to NINETY-SEVEN MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($97,000,000.00), and to repay the Loan in accordance with this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents.  The Note evidences the indebtedness of Borrower under the Loan.

 

Section 2.2                                      Interest Rate; Late Charge; Default Rate.

 

(a)                                  Except for any time when the Default Rate is applicable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan (including any amounts added to principal under the Loan Documents) shall bear interest at a rate equal to FOUR AND 48/100 PERCENT (4.48%) per annum (the “Contract Rate”).  All interest accruing hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year consisting of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each, except that any interest due at any time for a period of less than a full calendar month shall be calculated by multiplying the Contract Rate by a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days elapsed in such partial month and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty (360).

 

(b)                                 If any regular monthly installment of principal or interest due under this Agreement, or any monthly deposit for taxes, ground rent, insurance, replacements and other sums if required under any Loan Document, shall not be paid as required under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be, within five (5) days following the date the same is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender a late charge (the “Late Charge”) of four cents ($0.04) for each dollar so overdue in order to compensate Lender for its loss of the timely use of the money and frustration of Lender in the meeting of its financial commitments and to defray part of Lender’s incurred cost of collection occasioned by such late payment. Any Late Charge incurred shall be immediately due and payable.  If, however, during any consecutive twelve (12) month period Borrower on more than two (2) occasions shall pay any such installments or deposits after the due dates thereof (whether prior to or after the time that the Late Charge is payable as above), then the time period after which a Late Charge will be charged and paid shall thereafter be reduced from five (5) days to two (2) days after the applicable due date.  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or modification of the due date for such installments or deposits or the requirement that Borrower make all payment of installments and deposits as and when the same are due and payable.  The Late Charge represents the reasonable estimate of Borrower and Lender of a fair average compensation for loss that may be sustained by Lender as a result of the failure of Borrower to make timely payments.  Such Late Charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Lender to collect any other amounts provided to be paid upon a default hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including without limitation interest at the Default Rate, or to declare a default hereunder, under the Mortgage or under any other Loan Document.

 

16



 

(c)                                  Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or on the Maturity Date, the unpaid principal balance of the Loan shall thereafter bear interest at the per annum interest rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of:

 

(i)                                    the highest rate permitted by law to be charged on a promissory note secured by a commercial mortgage, or

 

(ii)                                 the sum of three percent (3%) plus the greater of:

 

(x)                                  the Contract Rate; or

 

(y)                                 the Federal Funds Rate.

 

Interest at the Default Rate as provided in this Section shall be immediately due and payable to Lender and shall constitute additional Indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the Loan Documents.

 

Section 2.3                                      Terms of Payment.  The Loan shall be payable by Borrower as follows:

 

(a)                                  On the date the Loan is made, a payment of interest only shall be due and payable for the period from such date to the first (1st) day of the next calendar month;

 

(b)                                 Successive monthly installments of interest (in arrears) only in the amount of Three Hundred Sixty-Two Thousand One Hundred and Thirty-Three and 33/100 Dollars ($362,133.33), shall be made on the first (1st) day of August 2012 and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter up to and including the first day of July 2015;

 

(c)                                  Successive monthly installments of principal and interest (in arrears), in the constant amount of Four Hundred Ninety Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Two and 72/100 Dollars ($490,332.72), shall be made on the first (1st) day of August 2015 and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter up to and including the first day of the month immediately prior to the Maturity Date.  The monthly payments of combined principal and interest required under this Agreement are based upon a thirty (30) year amortization period; and

 

(d)                                 On the Maturity Date or on any earlier date as a result of an Acceleration Event, Borrower shall pay all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other amounts due under the Loan Documents.  Borrower acknowledges that, since the term of the Loan is shorter than the amortization period, all or a substantial portion of the principal amount of the Loan will be due on the Maturity Date.

 

Section 2.4                                      Term of Loan.

 

(a)                                  The term of the Loan shall commence on the date hereof and expire on the Maturity Date.

 

Section 2.5                                      Prepayment.  There are no full or partial prepayment privileges of the principal amount of the Loan except as expressly set forth in this Agreement:

 

17



 

(a)                                  Borrower shall have the right to pay the Loan in full (but not in part, other than in accordance with Sections 8.2 and 8.3 hereof) on any Payment Date on or after, but not prior to July 1, 2015 (the “Closed Prepayment Date”), provided that Borrower gives Lender at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intention to make any such prepayment, the date thereof and the amount to be prepaid, and that Borrower also pays to Lender, as consideration for the privilege of making such prepayment, the Prepayment Premium.

 

(b)                                 The “Prepayment Premium” shall be equal to the greater of (x) or (y) where:

 

(x)                                   is equal to the amount to be prepaid multiplied by one percent (1%); and

 

(y)                                 is the present value of the series of Monthly Payment Differentials from the date of prepayment to the Maturity Date, discounted at the Reinvestment Yield on a monthly basis.

 

The “Monthly Payment Differential” means the monthly interest (without amortization), which would be earned if the prepayment were invested at the Contract Rate less the monthly interest that would be earned by reinvesting the prepayment at the Reinvestment Yield.

 

The “Reinvestment Yield” means 25 basis points, plus the yield to maturity of a Treasury Issue, adjusted from a semi-annual to a monthly rate, which has the closest maturity (month and year) prior to the Maturity Date, as quoted in The Wall Street Journal published in print or on-line on the second (2nd) calendar day immediately preceding the date for prepayment as set forth in Borrower’s notice of its intention to prepay, but if said second (2nd) day is not a Business Day, then as quoted on the preceding Business Day.  If more than one Treasury Issue has the same maturity date, then the Treasury Issue having the market yield that differs least from the Contract Rate will be used in the calculations.  If The Wall Street Journal is not in publication on the applicable date, or ceases to publish such Treasury Issue information in print or on-line on the applicable date, then any other publication selected by Lender quoting daily market yields for Treasury Issues will be used.

 

(c)                                  If the Maturity Date is accelerated by Lender because of the occurrence of an Event of Default or accelerated pursuant to the provisions in the Loan Documents (an “Acceleration Event”), the acceleration shall be deemed to be an election on the part of Borrower to prepay the Loan.  Accordingly, there shall be added to the amount due after an Event of Default and resulting acceleration, the Prepayment Premium, calculated as set forth above and using as the Prepayment Date the date on which any tender of payment is made, and Borrower agrees to pay same.  Any tender of payment made (or judgment entered) after acceleration by or on behalf of Borrower (including, without limitation, payment by any guarantor or purchaser at a foreclosure sale), shall include the Prepayment Premium computed as provided above.  If the Acceleration Event occurs prior to the Closed Prepayment Date, a Prepayment Premium (a “Closed Period Prepayment Premium”) shall nevertheless be paid, which Closed Period Prepayment Premium shall be calculated as set forth in Subsection 2.5(b) above, except that with respect to clause (x), the Closed Period Prepayment Premium shall equal

 

18



 

the amount to be prepaid multiplied by three percent (3%) (rather than one percent (1%)), and that with respect to clause (y), the Reinvestment Yield (calculated as provided for above) shall be reduced by two (2) percentage points.

 

(d)                                 There will be due with any principal prepayment, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other fees, charges and payments due under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

 

(e)                                  No Prepayment Premium shall be required to be paid in connection with payment of insurance, or condemnation Proceeds to Lender which Lender requires to be applied to the Indebtedness in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, except if such application to the Indebtedness is after an Event of Default.

 

(f)                                    Borrower acknowledges and agrees that all of the economic terms set forth in the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Contract Rate, have been agreed to by Lender based on Lender’s expectation that the Loan will not be repaid prior to the Maturity Date (e.g., had Lender anticipated a shorter Loan Term, the Contract Rate may have been a higher rate of interest).  However, in order to accommodate Borrower, Lender has agreed to permit Borrower to repay the Loan prior to the Maturity Date in accordance with, and subject to, the terms set forth above provided that, and as consideration for such agreement, Borrower agrees to pay Lender the Prepayment Premium.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, even if Lender is able to loan the amount prepaid by Borrower to another Person on the same terms and conditions as herein provided, Lender shall not have fully recovered Lender’s lost profits, costs, expenses and damages suffered as a result of such early prepayment; therefore, Borrower and Lender have agreed on the Prepayment Premium as compensation for Lender’s estimated lost profits, costs, expenses and damages resulting from such prepayment.  The Prepayment Premium shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Lender to collect any other amounts provided to be paid under this Agreement, or under the other Loan Documents, or pursuant to the provisions of law.

 

(g)                                 No Prepayment Premium shall be required to be paid after January 1, 2027.

(a)                                  Property Insurance.  Borrower shall maintain either “all risk” or “special form” real and personal property insurance and “boiler and machinery insurance”, insuring one hundred percent (100%) of the insurable replacement cost value of the Improvements and the Equipment, with no coinsurance or similar penalty and covering (i) “business interruption” (including “rent loss”), in an amount equal to at least eighteen (18) months of the Property Income (determined as of the most recently concluded twelve (12) month period for which financial statements are available at the time of renewal or replacement of such insurance), and an extended period of indemnity of at least one hundred eighty (180) days and (ii) “extra expenses”.  Covered perils shall include “acts of terrorism” (whether or not certified), “windstorm” (including “named windstorm”), “vandalism and malicious mischief”.  Unless all Improvements continue to comply with all applicable laws, codes and regulations, Borrower shall maintain “ordinance and law” coverage in the following minimum percentages of the value of the Improvements:  Coverage A — one hundred percent (100%); Coverage B, “demolition and debris removal” — ten percent (10%); and, Coverage C, “increased costs of construction” — ten percent (10%), and must also insure the right to re-build the Improvements of the same size and height and with the same parking as the existing improvements.  If the building is non-conforming due to height, density, parking (“downzoning”), or such other non-conformity not covered under the ordinance and law provisions, Lender may require Borrower to purchase a separate policy covering such non-conformity for the benefit of Lender.  Earthquake insurance is required as specified in Subsection 3.1(e).  Lender may from time to time also require that Borrower maintain insurance reasonably acceptable to Lender for “flood” and “builder’s risk”. 

 

21



 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, any insurance required hereunder shall only be required to the extent that it is commercially available.

 

(b)                                 Liability Insurance.  Borrower shall also maintain Commercial General Liability insurance (including contractual liability and Acts of Terrorism) in an amount equal to at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate, with a Per Location aggregate endorsement (in an amount not to exceed Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) in the aggregate) if multiple properties are insured under the same policy.  In addition, Borrower shall maintain Umbrella or Excess Liability insurance in an amount Lender determines to be reasonable from time to time (in an amount not to exceed Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) per occurrence and Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) in the aggregate).  Lender may, from time to time also require that Borrower maintain insurance reasonably acceptable to Lender for Commercial Auto, Workers Compensation, Environmental and such other insurance as Lender may require.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, any insurance required hereunder shall only be required to the extent that it is commercially available.

 

(c)                                  Evidence of Insurance By Acceptable Insurers.  Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that, prior to the date of this Agreement, Borrower provided to Lender the following evidences of insurance (the “Closing Insurance Certificates”):  (i) an ACORD 28 (current version) Evidence of Property Insurance provided by an authorized insurance agent or broker confirming coverages are maintained for real and personal property insurance as required to be carried by Borrower under this Agreement; and (ii) an ACORD 25 Certificate of Liability Insurance, provided by an authorized insurance agent, broker or insurance carrier confirming coverages are maintained for liability insurance as required to be carried by Borrower under this Agreement.  From and after the date hereof, through and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall provide new evidences of insurance to Lender at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration date of each applicable insurance policy, which such evidences of insurance shall be subject to Lender’s approval, which such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Without limiting the foregoing sentence, each evidence of insurance and certificate required to be provided during the Loan Term must include a mortgagee clause and a loss payee clause reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and any Certificate of Liability Insurance must name Lender as an Additional Insured for Commercial General Liability with respect to the Premises.  Unless consented to by Lender, each insurance company providing coverage must have an A. M. Best rating of A-X or better.

 

(d)                                 Blanket Insurance Policies.  Borrower’s insurance requirements under this Article 3 may be satisfied by maintaining either individual policies covering only the Premises, or blanket insurance policies covering multiple properties, provided that with respect to any blanket insurance policies Borrower also covenants to either reinstate, as soon as practicable, any limits and coverages which are used, reduced or cancelled back up to the blanket policy limits approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion with deductibles or self insurance which are customary for similarly capitalized companies and with a deductible of up to ten percent (10%) for earthquake insurance, provided such insurance is commercially available, or to secure individual policy coverages for the Premises satisfying these insurance requirements with a deductible of up to five percent (5%) for earthquake insurance, provided such insurance is commercially available.  Borrower will deliver to Lender a Schedule of Locations Insured on a

 

22



 

regional basis under any blanket insurance policy applicable to the Mortgaged Property together with the related certificates of insurance.

 

(e)                                  Earthquake Insurance.  Notwithstanding the requirement in Subsection 3.1(a) above that Borrower carry earthquake insurance during the entire Loan Term provided that such earthquake insurance is commercially available, such requirement shall be deemed satisfied by the earthquake coverage provided by Sponsor’s blanket insurance policies meeting the requirements of Subsection 3.1(d) above, but only for so long as the Aggregate Debt Test is satisfied as of the last day each fiscal quarter during the Loan Term.  In the event that any quarterly calculation of the Aggregate Debt Test provided by Sponsor in accordance with Subsection 7.1(a)(iii) hereof reflects that the Aggregate Debt Test is not satisfied as of the most recently concluded fiscal quarter, or in the event Sponsor does not provide any such quarterly calculation of the Aggregate Debt Test, Borrower shall have a period not to exceed sixty (60) days following the delivery of the Aggregate Debt Test Certificate, or the date such Aggregate Debt Test Certificate was to have been delivered, as applicable, to either (x) provide evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that the Aggregate Debt Test has been restored to the required level or remains satisfied, as applicable, or (y) provide a reasonably acceptable individual policy with respect to the Premises for insurance against earthquake loss in an amount equal to the product of (A) the Scenario Upper Loss for each of Property A and Property B multiplied by (B) the aggregate replacement cost of Property A and Property B and less a five percent (5%) deductible.

 

(f)                                    Miscellaneous Insurance Requirements.

 

(i)                                     All insurance policies and endorsements required pursuant to this Agreement shall:  (w) be endorsed to name Lender as a primary additional insured thereunder, as its interest may appear, with loss payable to Lender, without contribution, under a long-form, non-contributory mortgagee clause, or otherwise endorsed as Lender may reasonably require; (x) be fully paid for and contain such provisions and expiration dates and be in such form and issued by such insurance companies licensed to do business in the State; (y) without limiting the foregoing, provide that such policy or endorsement may not be canceled except upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of intention of non-renewal or cancellation to Lender, and that no act or thing done by Borrower or Lender shall invalidate the policy as against Lender; and (z) subject to Subsection 3.1(f)(ii) hereof, be in form and content satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion, including, without limitation, the coverages, limits and deductibles of such insurance policies and endorsements.

 

(ii)                                  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or a casualty with respect to the Premises and/or Equipment has occurred, within ten (10) Business Days following a request by Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of all then current policies and endorsements required hereunder, certified by the insurance company or authorized agent as being true copies, together with any other insurance policy information and other related information (such as Probable Maximum Loss or Scenario Upper Limit studies) Lender requests from time to time, so that Lender may determine that insurance continues to be acceptable to it and satisfies all insurance requirements set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, Lender shall not require Borrower to obtain any insurance coverage in addition to the coverages described in the Closing Insurance Certificates, or to adjust the limits or deductibles of any

 

23



 

insurance policies from the limits and deductibles of the applicable insurance policies described in the Closing Insurance Certificates, unless, in each instance, such additional insurance coverage or such adjusted limits or deductibles is attributable to the specific location and then-current characteristics of the Premises (specifically excluding Earthquake insurance, which shall only be required in accordance with Subsection 3.1(e) above), and such requirement is generally being imposed  by portfolio lenders similar to Lender in connection with loans of a similar size and type as the Loan that are secured by properties of similar type and location as the Mortgaged Property.  Borrower may request an extension of time not exceeding sixty (60) days to deliver the foregoing certified copies of the then current policies and endorsements if Borrower has done all things necessary to obtain the issuance thereof, including the payment of all premiums therefor, and Borrower has delivered to Lender within the above ten (10) Business Day period evidence of insurance satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion issued by the approved insurer showing all required coverage to be in full force and effect for the succeeding twelve (12) month period, along with evidence satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion of payment in full of all premiums.  If Borrower fails to maintain insurance in compliance with this Agreement, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such insurance and pay the premium therefor and Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such Advances.

 

(iii)                               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any provision of law, the Proceeds of insurance policies coming into the possession of Lender shall not be deemed trust funds and Lender shall be entitled to dispose of such Proceeds as hereinafter provided.

 

Section 3.2                                      Damage, Destruction and Restoration.

 

(a)                                  In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Premises and/or Equipment, Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently continue to completion the repair, restoration and rebuilding of the Premises and/or Equipment so damaged or destroyed in full compliance with all legal requirements and with the provisions of Subsections 3.2(e), (f) and (h), and free and clear from any and all liens and claims other than Permitted Encumbrances.  Such repair, restoration and rebuilding of the Premises are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Work.  Except as expressly permitted under Subsection 3.2(h), Borrower shall not adjust, compromise or settle any claim for insurance Proceeds without the prior consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  Except as provided in Subsection 3.2(d), Lender shall have the option in its sole discretion to apply any insurance Proceeds (other than Proceeds of any business interruption insurance) it may receive pursuant to this Agreement (less any reasonably incurred cost to Lender of recovering and paying out such Proceeds, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) to the payment of the Indebtedness or to allow all or a portion of such Proceeds to be used for the Work.  If any insurance Proceeds are applied to reduce the Indebtedness, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall apply the same, without any Prepayment Premium, in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 2.7(c) of this Agreement and the portion of the Proceeds applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be applied to reduce the Amortized Allocated Loan Amount associated with the Individual Premises that has suffered the casualty and any remaining Proceeds shall be applied pro-rata to reduce the Amortized Allocated Loan Amounts for each other Individual Premises.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection 3.2(a) or Subsection 3.3, if in Lender’s reasonable judgment the cost of the Work shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Allocated Loan Amount of the damaged Individual Premises, then Lender shall, upon request by Borrower, permit Borrower to use the Proceeds for the Work (subject to the provisions of, and less Lender’s costs described in, Subsection 3.2(e)), so long as:

(g)                                 Upon written request of any of the Lender Parties and at their sole option, Borrower shall immediately undertake the defense of the Lender Parties, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, with counsel reasonably approved by Lender, in connection with any action or proceeding relating to any obligation set forth in this Agreement for which Borrower has an obligation to protect, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Lender Parties (collectively, “Environmental Litigation”).  In the event Borrower refuses to undertake the defense of the Lender Parties after receiving such request, or fails to diligently and continuously conduct such defense after receiving such request, or if Borrower is not a party to the Environmental Litigation, or is a party to the Environmental Litigation and, in Lender’s reasonable opinion, there is a potential conflict of interest in the sharing of counsel by Borrower and the Lender Parties (collectively, the “Independent Defense Events”), then the Lender Parties may undertake their own defense without reducing, limiting or waiving Borrower’s obligations to protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Lender Parties as provided in this Agreement.  The actual out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Lender Parties in undertaking their own defense due to any Independent Defense Event, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, shall constitute a portion of the indemnification obligations of Borrower under this Agreement.  In the absence of an Independent Defense Event, Lender Parties may elect to engage additional or different counsel at any time without reducing Borrower’s obligations to protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Lender Parties as provided in this Agreement, except that the actual attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lender Parties in engaging such additional or different counsel shall not constitute an indemnification duty of Borrower under this Agreement.

 

Section 4.2                                      Environmental Matters; Remediation.

 

(a)                                  If any investigation, site monitoring, containment, cleanup, removal, restoration or other Remediation of any kind or nature is required under any applicable Environmental Law, or reasonably necessary to protect the health, safety or welfare of any occupant or transient occupant of the Premises, because of or in connection with the current or future Release of a Hazardous Substance into the air, soil, ground water, surface water; or soil vapor on, in, under or about the Premises or any portion thereof, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion all such Remediation.  In all events, such Remediation shall be commenced within sixty (60) days after any demand therefor by Lender or such shorter period as may be required under any applicable Environmental Law.

 

(b)                                 All Remediation shall be performed by qualified, licensed, insured and reputable contractors, and under the supervision of a consulting engineer, each approved in advance by Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  All actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Remediation and of Lender’s monitoring or review of such Remediation (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses), in each

 

33



 

case to the extent reasonably incurred, shall be paid by Borrower.  If Borrower does not timely commence and diligently prosecute to completion the Remediation, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) cause such Remediation to be performed.  Borrower agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse Lender on demand for all Advances and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) relating to or incurred by Lender in connection with monitoring, reviewing or performing any Remediation.

 

(c)                                  Except with Lender’s prior consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, Borrower shall not commence any Remediation, unless required by Section 4.2(a) above, or enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree or other compromise relating to any Hazardous Substances or Environmental Laws which might, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, impair the value of Lender’s security for the Loan.  Lender’s prior consent to such Remediation, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, shall not be required, however, if the Release of Hazardous Substances on, in, under or about the Premises poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any person or is of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary, and it is not possible to obtain Lender’s prior consent.  In such event Borrower shall notify Lender as soon as practicable of any action taken.

 

Section 4.3                                      Environmental Matters; Inspection.

 

(a)                                  Upon at least five (5) days advance notice, which shall include (i) the submission of a written invasive investigation plan for Borrower’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (ii) proof that Borrower has been named as an additional insured on the applicable insurance policy of Lender or its agents, Lender or its agents shall have the right to enter upon and inspect all or any portion of the Premises to conduct customary environmental tests, assessments, audits and soil borings.  Except in an emergency, such entry shall be at reasonable times, with the advance notice described above, and subject to the rights of tenants of the Premises.  Any damage to the Premises  as a result of such tests or borings will be promptly and fully repaired by Lender or its agents.  Lender may select a consulting engineer to conduct and prepare reports of such inspections, tests, assessments, audits and soil borings (a “Lender Environmental Report).  The inspection rights granted to Lender in this Section 4.3 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other inspection rights granted to Lender in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 

(b)                                 If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or Lender has reasonable cause to believe that there has been a Release of a Hazardous Substance on, in, under or about the Premises or any Environmental Violation exists or any Hazardous Substance is migrating to or from adjoining property), promptly upon the written request of Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender with an environmental site assessment or environmental audit report prepared by an environmental engineering firm acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion (a “Borrower Environmental Report”), to assess with a reasonable degree of certainty whether or not any Release exists or has occurred, along with a reasonably detailed description of the potential scope of remediation and of the potential costs that may be incurred in connection with abatement, cleanup or removal of any Hazardous Substance found on, in, under, at, or within the Premises.

 

34



 

(c)                                  Borrower shall pay or reimburse Lender on demand for all Advances and actual out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) reasonably incurred by Lender in connection with any Lender Environmental Report and any Borrower Environmental Report required or permitted under this Agreement in the following situations:

 

(i)                                   if Lender has reasonable grounds to believe, at the time any Lender Environmental Report is ordered or any Borrower Environmental Report is requested, that there exists any Environmental Violation, or there is a Release of a Hazardous Substance on, in, under or about the Premises or any Hazardous Substance is migrating to or from adjoining property, except under conditions permitted by applicable Environmental Laws and not prohibited by any Loan Document;

 

(ii)                                if any such inspection reveals a violation of an Environmental Law or that a Hazardous Substance is present on, in, under or about the Premises or is migrating to or from adjoining property, except under conditions permitted by applicable Environmental Laws and not prohibited by any Loan Document;

 

(iii)                             if Lender has reasonable grounds to believe that there is a material adverse change in the status of any Release of any Hazardous Substance on, in, under or about the Premises;

 

(iv)                             if Lender has reasonable grounds to believe that a material adverse change in the compliance of the Premises with any Environmental Law has occurred;

 

(v)                                if Lender is not reasonably satisfied with the results or quality of an environmental site assessment or an environmental audit report which has been prepared in connection with the Premises; or

 

(vi)                             if an Event of Default exists at the time such Lender Environmental Report is ordered or at the time the request is made for a Borrower Environmental Report.

 

Section 4.4                                      No Waiver.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Article 4 or elsewhere in the Loan Documents, or any rights or remedies granted by the Loan Documents, Lender does not waive and expressly reserves all rights and benefits now or hereafter accruing to Lender under the “security interest” or “secured creditor” exception under applicable Environmental Laws, as the same may be amended.  No action taken by Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be deemed or construed to be a waiver or relinquishment of any such rights or benefits under the “security interest exception”.

(b)           Borrower shall perform all obligations as lessor under all Leases and shall enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained therein upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be performed or observed, short of termination thereof; provided, however, Borrower’s failure to comply with this sentence shall not result in an Event of Default unless such failure is in any material respect and following the expiration of any applicable notice or cure period contemplated herein.  Except as permitted pursuant to Subsection 5.1(a) above, Borrower shall not take any action which would cause any Lease to cease to be in full force and effect.  Except with the prior written consent of Lender or with respect to any No-Approval Leases.  Borrower shall not:  (i) cancel, terminate, surrender, sublet or assign any Lease or consent to any cancellation, termination, surrender, subletting or assignment thereof (except as permitted pursuant to the terms of any such Lease; (ii) enter into any consensual document or agreement to subordinate any Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest that is subordinate to the Mortgage; (iii) enter into any new Lease or amend, modify or renew any existing Lease (except as permitted in Subsection 5.1(c)); (iv) waive any default under or breach of any Lease (except as permitted in Subsection 5.1(c)); (v) consent to or accept any prepayment or discount of rent or advance rent under any Lease (except as permitted in Subsection 5.1(c)); (vi) take any other action in connection with any Lease which could reasonably be expected to impair or jeopardize the validity of such Lease or Lender’s interest therein; or (vii) alter, modify or change the terms of any guaranty, letter of credit or other credit support with respect to any Lease or cancel or terminate such guaranty, letter of credit or other credit support (except as permitted in Subsection 5.1(c)).

 

(c)           Notwithstanding Subsection 5.1(a) or 5.1(b), so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender’s approval shall not be required for Borrower to enter into any New Lease or any New Lease Modification (other than any New

 

37



 

Lease Modification that adds or amends in any material respect any lease termination options), provided that each of the following conditions are satisfied:  (i) the New Lease or the existing Lease as modified by the New Lease Modification, as applicable, covers less than (A) fifty thousand (50,000) net rentable square feet of the Improvements located on Property A or (B) twenty-five thousand (25,000) net rentable square feet of the Improvements located on Property B, including, in either case, any square feet at Property A or Property B, as applicable, provided for in any expansion options and other space already leased to the subject tenant; (ii) only with respect to any New Lease that covers more than seven thousand (7,000) net rentable square feet, such New Lease is written on a standard form approved by Lender, in advance and in writing, and without material modification; (iii) the New Lease or the New Lease Modification, as applicable, is an arm’s-length transaction with a bona fide, independent third party tenant; (iv) the New Lease or New Lease Modification provides for rental rates and terms comparable to existing local market rates and terms; (v) the New Lease or the New Lease Modification, as applicable, will not violate any provision of any other Lease, restriction, covenant or public or private agreement affecting the Premises or this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including Subsection 4.1(b); (vi) the New Lease or the New Lease Modification, as applicable, imposes no tenant improvement obligations on Borrower beyond the initial lease-up and occupancy by the tenant in excess of the lesser of Thirty-Five Dollars per square foot ($35/sq.ft.) or Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000) for costs associated with expansion or extension options; (vii) the New Lease or the New Lease Modification, as applicable, contains no right of the tenant to acquire any ownership interest in any of the Mortgaged Property; (viii) if the New Lease is in excess of seven thousand (7,000) net rentable square feet, such New Lease provides that the tenant will unconditionally attorn to a foreclosing lender without requiring Lender to execute a non-disturbance agreement, or the subject tenant agrees to execute a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in connection therewith in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F or such other form acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion, subject to verification by Lender that the New Lease or New Lease Modification, as applicable, otherwise qualifies as a No-Approval Lease.  If any of the aforesaid conditions are not satisfied, then Lender’s prior consent to such New Lease or such New Lease Modification, as applicable, shall be required.  If the New Lease is less than seven thousand (7,000) net rentable square feet, and otherwise qualifies as a No-Approval Lease, then if requested by the tenant thereunder, Lender will provide a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, or such other form acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion  Notwithstanding Subsection 5.1(c)(iii), a Lease between Borrower, as landlord, and Sponsor, or an Affiliate of Sponsor, as tenant, covering no more than to seven thousand (7,000) net rentable square feet shall be exempt from the restriction in Subsection 5.1(c)(iii).  If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide a true copy of each such New Lease and each such New Lease Modification within one hundred five (105) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, in accordance with Subsection 7.1(a)(i) hereof.  In determining under clause (i) above whether a New Lease, or an existing Lease as modified by a New Lease Modification, is for fifty thousand (50,000) net rentable square feet of building area of the Improvements located on Property A or twenty-five thousand (25,000) net rentable square feet of building area of the Improvements located on Property B, all space leased to any one tenant (whether pursuant to one or more Leases) in the Improvements located on Property A or the Improvements located on Property B, as applicable, shall be aggregated.

(e)           Upon Lender’s request, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall transfer and assign to Lender any or all of the tenant security deposits, including any letters of credit securing tenant obligations, under the Leases, together with:  (i) any assignment of the proceeds of such security deposits; (ii) any assignment and transfer of such letters of credit or the proceeds thereof; and (iii) to the extent required pursuant to the applicable Lease and, so long as the same can be obtained with commercially reasonable efforts, any tenants’ consents to assignment of such security deposits and assignment and transfer of such letters of credit, in each case under clause (i) through (iii), as Lender shall reasonably request.  All security deposits delivered to Lender shall be held without interest and may be commingled with Lender’s other funds (unless the payment of interest thereon and the maintenance of a separate account therefor is required under applicable tenant leases or by applicable law).

 

(f)            Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, with or without exercising any other rights or remedies:  (i) give or require Borrower to give notice to any or all tenants under the Leases and all Lease guarantors authorizing and directing them to pay all Property Income under the Leases directly to Lender and to continue to do so until the tenants and Lease guarantors are otherwise notified by Lender in writing; and (ii) apply for the appointment of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property to which appointment Borrower hereby consents, whether or not foreclosure proceedings have been commenced under any of the Mortgage and whether or not a foreclosure sale has occurred.

 

(g)           Without limiting Lender’s approval rights under Subsection 5.1(a), if any tenant is required to pay a lease termination, cancellation or contraction fee in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) as a result of such tenant terminating its Lease, and Borrower has not re-let the space vacated as a result of such Lease termination on or prior to the date of such Lease termination, then upon such Lease termination, the amount so required to be paid by such tenant shall be collaterally assigned to Lender as additional collateral for the Loan and deposited with Lender in an interest bearing account (the “Lease Termination Reserve Account”), with interest accruing for the benefit of Borrower.  So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) upon the execution of an Acceptable Lease for the space, or a portion of the space, vacated as a result of the Lease termination, half of the allocable amount of the Lease Termination Reserve Account relating to the Lease termination payment for the applicable space (inclusive of interest attributable thereto) shall be refunded to Borrower and (ii) upon the occupancy by the tenant under such Acceptable Lease for such space, or a portion of such space, vacated as a result of such Lease termination, the remaining half of the allocable amount of the Lease Termination Reserve Account relating to the Lease termination payment for such space (inclusive of interest attributable thereto) shall be refunded to Borrower.  Should an Event of Default occur prior to any such release, all funds in the Lease Termination Reserve Account may, during the continuance of such Event of Default, be applied in payment of the charges for which such funds shall have been deposited or to the payment of the Indebtedness or any other charges affecting the Mortgaged Property, as Lender in its sole discretion may determine, but no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided.

 

Section 5.2             Management.  At all times prior to the payment in full of the Indebtedness, the Mortgaged Property shall be managed by a management company satisfactory

 

39



 

to Lender in its reasonable discretion, and for any management company other than Kilroy LP, pursuant to a management agreement satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion.  In addition, any leasing commissions agreement affecting the Mortgaged Property must be satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion.  Such management agreement and leasing commissions agreement shall be subordinate to the Lien of the Mortgage.  Lender approves Kilroy LP as manager of the Mortgaged Property, reserving the right, however, to revoke such approval in accordance with the following sentence.  If at any time the management company, management agreement or leasing commissions agreement is not satisfactory to Lender, Borrower shall have a reasonable period, not exceeding sixty (60) days after notice to Borrower of Lender’s disapproval, to obtain a management company, management agreement and/or leasing commissions agreement approved by and satisfactory to Lender, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  As a condition to Lender’s approval of any such management agreement or leasing commissions agreement, Borrower, Lender and the applicable management company or leasing agent, shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Subordination of Management Agreement or an Assignment and Subordination of Leasing Commissions Agreement, as applicable, which shall be prepared on Lender’s then current form and which shall otherwise be in form and content satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion.

 

Section 5.3             Impositions and Utility Charges.

 

(a)           Borrower shall pay and discharge all Impositions and Utility Charges prior to delinquency, and shall provide to Lender validated receipts or other evidence satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion showing the payment of all such Impositions within fifteen (15) days after the same would otherwise have become delinquent. Borrower’s obligation to pay such Impositions pursuant to this Agreement shall include, to the extent permitted by applicable law, taxes resulting from changes in law after the date of this Agreement which impose upon Lender an obligation to pay any property taxes or other Impositions or which otherwise adversely affect Lender’s interests in the Mortgaged Property or otherwise with respect to the Loan.  Should Borrower default in the payment of any of such Impositions or Utility Charges, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) pay such item or any portion thereof and Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such Advances.

 

(b)           Borrower shall not be required to pay, discharge or remove any Imposition or Utility Charge so long as Borrower contests in good faith such Imposition or Utility Charge or the validity, applicability or amount thereof by an appropriate legal proceeding which operates to prevent the collection of such amounts and the sale of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof; provided, however, that, solely with respect to Impositions, such contest will not result in a tax certificate or other sale of the tax lien and prior to the date on which such Imposition would otherwise have become delinquent Borrower shall have: (i) given Lender prior notice of such contest; and (ii) deposited with Lender, and shall deposit such additional amounts as are necessary to keep on deposit at all times, an amount equal to at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the total of:  (A) the balance of such Imposition then remaining unpaid; and (B) all interest, penalties, costs and charges accrued or accumulated thereon.  Any such contest shall be prosecuted with due diligence, and Borrower shall promptly pay the amount of such Imposition as finally determined, together with all interest, penalties, costs and charges payable in connection therewith.  Lender shall have full power and authority to apply any amount deposited

 

40



 

with Lender under this Subsection 5.3(b) to the payment of any unpaid Imposition to prevent the sale of any tax lien or the sale or forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) for non-payment thereof.  Lender shall have no liability, however, for failure to so apply any amount deposited unless Borrower requests the application of such amount to the payment of the particular Imposition for which such amount was deposited.  Any surplus retained by Lender after payment of the Imposition for which a deposit was made shall be repaid to Borrower unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case said surplus may be retained by Lender to be applied to the Indebtedness.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Subsection 5.3(b) to the contrary, Borrower shall pay any Imposition which it might otherwise be entitled to contest if, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, failure to pay will result in a tax certificate or other sale of the tax lien or the Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) is in jeopardy or in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed.  If Borrower refuses to pay any such Imposition, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment and Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such Advances.  Additionally, in such event, if Lender is prevented by law or judicial or administrative order from paying such Imposition, then Lender, at its option, may declare the entire Indebtedness immediately due and payable.

 

(c)           Borrower shall deposit with Lender, monthly, on the due date of each monthly installment under the Note, 1/12th of the annual charges (as estimated by Lender in its reasonable discretion) for Impositions with respect to the Mortgaged Property.  If required by Lender, Borrower shall also deposit with Lender, simultaneously with such monthly deposits and/or the execution of this Agreement, a sum of money which together with such monthly deposits will be sufficient to make the payment of each such charge at least thirty (30) days prior to the date initially due.  Should such charges not be ascertainable at the time any deposit is required to be made, the deposit shall be made on the basis of the charges for the prior year or payment period, as reasonably estimated by Lender.  When the charges are fixed for the then current year or period, Borrower shall deposit any deficiency on demand.  All funds deposited with Lender shall be held without interest (unless the payment of interest thereon is required under applicable law), may be commingled with Lender’s other funds, and shall be applied in payment of the foregoing charges when and as payable provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the funds so deposited may be applied in payment of the charges for which such funds shall have been deposited or to the payment of the Indebtedness or any other charges affecting the Mortgaged Property, as Lender in its sole discretion may determine, but no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided.  Borrower shall provide Lender with bills and all other documents necessary for the payment of the foregoing charges promptly following Borrower’s receipt of the same, but in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which each payment thereof shall first become due.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding the requirements of Subsection 5.3(c) above, Lender shall waive the requirement for Borrower to make the monthly deposits of the annual charges for Impositions with respect to the Mortgaged Property so long as each of the following terms and conditions continues to be satisfied, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion (each of the following, a “Reserve Waiver Requirement” and, collectively, the “Reserve Waiver Requirements”):

 

41



 

(i)                   Borrower shall pay and discharge all Impositions affecting the Mortgaged Property on or prior to the last date on which such Impositions may be paid without payment of any interest, late fee or penalty, and shall provide to Lender validated receipts or other evidence satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion showing the timely payment of such Impositions;

 

(ii)                 No uncured monetary default shall exist, nor shall any Event of Default have occurred and be continuing, under the Loan Documents;

 

(iii)                The original named Borrower as of the Closing Date must still hold sole title to the Mortgaged Property and shall not have exercised its rights pursuant Section 8.3 below;

 

(iv)               No other transfer of any interest in the Mortgaged Property has occurred, other than as expressly permitted by Article 8 hereof; and

 

(v)                 There does not exist any subordinate, mezzanine or other indebtedness prohibited by any of the Loan Documents, whether or not such indebtedness is secured by any of the Mortgaged Property.

 

In the event that Borrower fails, at any time during which a waiver of the requirements of Subsection 5.3(c) is in effect, to satisfy any one or more of the Reserve Waiver Requirements, Borrower shall immediately commence making the monthly deposits of annual charges for Impositions with respect to the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the terms of Subsection 5.3(c), and shall continue to make such deposits for the remainder of the Loan Term, notwithstanding any subsequent satisfaction of such Reserve Waiver Requirements.

Section 6.3             Title.  Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the Premises and good indefeasible title to the balance of the Mortgaged Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever, except the Permitted Encumbrances.  The Mortgage creates (1) a valid, perfected Lien on the Mortgaged Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and (2) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all Collateral (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances and such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents.  Borrower will preserve such title and will forever warrant and defend the same and validity and priority of the lien hereof to Lender against all claims whatsoever.  Borrower is the owner of all easements and other rights (collectively, the “Easements”) created under the documents expressly set forth in Schedule B to title insurance policy no.  ###-###-####-X59 and Schedule B to title insurance policy no.  ###-###-####-X59 with respect to the Mortgaged Property (collectively the “Easement Agreements”).  The Easement Agreements and the Easements created thereunder have not been modified or amended and are in full force and effect.  No defaults have occurred under the Easement Agreements, and no event has occurred which with notice or the passage of time would constitute an event of default under the Easement Agreements.  Borrower has not sent, and is not in receipt of, any notice alleging or asserting the

Section 6.4             Mortgage Taxes.

 

(a)           Borrower shall pay any and all Indemnified Taxes, charges, filing, registration and recording fees, excises and levies imposed upon Lender by reason of its ownership of, or measured by amounts payable under, the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document, and shall pay all stamp taxes and Indemnified Taxes required to be paid on the Note, the Mortgages, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  If Borrower fails to make such payment within ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof from Lender, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) pay the amount due, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such Advances.

 

(b)           If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of Borrower or Withholding Agent, as applicable) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any payments under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document, then Borrower or Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sums payable by Borrower under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or any other Loan Documents shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 6.4), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

Section 6.5             Payment of Liens.  Borrower shall pay when due all payments and charges due under or in connection with any Liens and encumbrances on and security interests in the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof, all rents and charges under any ground leases and other leases forming a part of the Mortgaged Property, and all claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others which, if unpaid, could reasonably be expected to result in or permit the creation of a Lien on the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof (excluding any Lien imposed solely on any tenant’s interest in the Mortgaged Property) and shall cause the prompt (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after imposition), full and unconditional discharge of all Liens imposed on or against the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof; provided that Borrower shall not be required to pay, discharge or remove any such Lien so long as Borrower contests in good faith such Lien or the validity, applicability or amount thereof in the manner described in Subsection 5.3(b), so as to prevent the sale of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof.  Borrower shall do or cause to be done, at the sole cost of Borrower, everything necessary to fully preserve the initial priority of the Lien of the Mortgage.  If Borrower fails to make any such payment or if a Lien attaches to the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof and is not discharged within said thirty (30) days or contested in good faith in the manner described in Subsection 5.3(b), Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or discharge such lien and Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such Advances.

Section 6.9             Estoppel Certificates.  Within ten (10) Business Days following a request by either party hereto (such party, the “Requesting Party”), the other party shall provide to the Requesting Party a duly acknowledged written statement confirming:  (a) the original principal amount of the Loan; (b) the unpaid principal amount of the Loan; (c) the rate of interest of the Loan; (d) the terms of payment and maturity date of the Loan; (e) the date installments of interest and/or principal were last paid; (f) only if Lender is the Requesting Party, that, except as provided in detail in such statement, there are no offsets or defenses against the Indebtedness or defaults or events which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; and (g) such other information that the Requesting Party shall reasonably request.  In connection with a Transfer or Participation of the Loan pursuant to Section 12.13 hereof, Borrower shall also exercise commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Lender within thirty (30) days following

(g)           Pursuant to Section 17.21 of the TIC Agreement, Borrower shall cause every Lease for any portion of Property A to provide that the terms of such Lease shall be subject in all respects to the provisions of the TIC Agreement and that any failure by the tenant thereunder to comply with the terms of the TIC Agreement shall be a default under such Lease.

56



 

been approved or deemed approved by Lender, or that do not require Lender’s consent under the terms of the Loan Documents, and if any such material adverse change has occurred providing detailed information satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion with respect thereto; (B) that neither Borrower nor Indemnitor has been the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution or insolvency proceeding; (C) that there does not exist any subordinate, mezzanine or other indebtedness prohibited by this Agreement or by any other Loan Document; (D) that there has not occurred any transfer, sale, pledge or encumbrance prohibited by this Agreement or by any other Loan Document, except as previously disclosed to Lender in writing and approved by Lender in writing; and (E) that there has not been a default in any material respect by Borrower, Indemnitor, or any Principal on any commercial indebtedness owing to Lender or to any other party.

ARTICLE 8.

 

CONVEYANCES, ENCUMBRANCES AND BORROWINGS

 

Section 8.1             Prohibition Against Conveyances, Encumbrances and Borrowing.  Except with the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be granted or withheld in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, and except as expressly permitted in Sections 8.2 and 8.3 below, (a) Borrower shall not sell, transfer, convey, assign,  mortgage, encumber, pledge, hypothecate, grant a security interest in, grant options (other than lease extension options or expansion options to lease additional space under Acceptable Leases) with respect to, or otherwise dispose of (directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether or not for consideration or of record), all or any portion of any legal or

 

57



 

beneficial interest in all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property including the Leases; provided, however, Leases entered into in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof shall not be prohibited hereby; and (b) no other Person shall sell, transfer, convey, assign or otherwise dispose of (directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether or not for consideration or of record) all or any portion of any direct or indirect legal or beneficial interest in all or any direct ownership interest in Borrower, or pledge or encumber any direct ownership interest in Borrower, except for (i) the issuance, exchange, redemption or other transfer of common, preferred or other beneficial ownership interests in Sponsor through the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ national market, or other national or international exchange; (ii) transfers of direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower to Affiliates of Sponsor and/or to third parties, provided that at all times after any such transfer (w) Sponsor shall be the general partner of Kilroy LP and shall own directly or indirectly not less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the ownership interests in Kilroy LP, (x) Sponsor shall own directly or indirectly not less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the ownership interests in Borrower, (y) Sponsor directly or indirectly shall Control Borrower and (z) the Mortgaged Property shall be managed by Kilroy LP or by an Affiliate of Kilroy LP in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof; and (iii) transfers of common, preferred or other beneficial ownership interests in Sponsor pursuant to subparagraph E(2)(b) of Article IV of the Charter or any similar ownership and transfer restriction provision in any current or future articles supplementary filed with respect to a series of preferred beneficial interest in Sponsor.  In furtherance of the foregoing, subordinate liens (voluntary or involuntary) secured by any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or any beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property, and any other financing obtained by Borrower or any Upstream Owner secured by any direct ownership interest in Borrower, shall not be permitted except with the prior written consent of Lender in each case.  Without limiting Lender’s right to withhold its consent to any transfer or encumbrance, any transfer or encumbrance must be to or with a United States citizen or an entity owned or controlled by United States citizens which is not an OFAC Prohibited Person.  All requests for Lender’s consent under this Section 8.1 shall be on a form previously acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion and shall be accompanied by the payment of Lender’s standard processing fee for such transactions then in effect.  Lender’s consent to any of the foregoing actions, if given (in Lender’s sole discretion), may be conditioned upon a change in the interest rate, maturity date, amortization period or other terms under this Agreement, the payment of a transfer or encumbrance fee and/or any other requirements of Lender.  In addition to the standard processing fee and the transfer or encumbrance fee referred to in this Section 8.1, Borrower shall pay or reimburse Lender on demand for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, title search costs, and title insurance endorsement premiums) incurred by Lender in connection with the review, approval and documentation of any such transaction.  The foregoing prohibitions are not intended to prevent the individual Upstream Owners from obtaining loans unrelated to (and not secured by any interest in) Borrower and the Mortgaged Property and are also not intended to prevent Borrower from incurring reasonable and customary trade payables which are not evidenced by a promissory note, not secured by any of the Mortgaged Property and are satisfied within sixty (60) days of incurrence.

 

Section 8.2             One-Time Permitted Transfer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing prohibitions of Section 8.1, during the period commencing on July 1, 2014, through and including July 1, 2025, Lender will permit a one-time transfer (the “Title Transfer”) of title to both Mortgaged Property A and Mortgaged Property B in a single transaction without

 

58



 

modification of the terms of the Loan, to a proposed transferee (the “Proposed Transferee”), which benefit shall be personal to the named Borrower herein and shall not apply to any successor, assignee or transferee of Borrower, and shall be null and void upon any transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, or upon any direct or indirect transfer of any ownership interest in Borrower or in any Upstream Owner (other than any such transfer permitted pursuant to Section 8.1), provided that all of the following terms and conditions have been fully satisfied:

 

(a)           At least thirty (30) days prior to such Title Transfer, Borrower shall have provided Lender with written notice of the proposed Title Transfer together with a non-refundable administrative processing fee in the amount of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) (the “Processing Fee”) along with the name(s), address(es) and organizational documents of the Proposed Transferee and of the principals, Affiliates and parent or other majority owners, as applicable, of the Proposed Transferee.  Upon receipt by Lender, the Processing Fee shall be deemed earned by Lender, whether or not Borrower completes the proposed Title Transfer and whether or not any proposed Title Transfer is actually approved by Lender pursuant to this Section 8.2.  A separate Processing Fee shall be required for each request for a Title Transfer.  Additionally, Borrower shall furnish to Lender along with such notice the following:  (i) detailed and complete financial statements of the Proposed Transferee and of the principals, Affiliates and parent or other majority owners, as applicable, of the Proposed Transferee, (ii) information with respect to the business and business experience of the Proposed Transferee and its principals, Affiliates and parent or other majority owners, as applicable, and their experience in the ownership and operation of properties similar to the Mortgaged Property and other commercial real estate, (iii) evidence that the Mortgaged Property, as of the proposed date of transfer of title and thereafter, will be managed by a management company and under a management agreement meeting the requirements of Subsection 8.2(e) below, (iv) the terms and conditions of the proposed sale and a copy of the executed purchase and sale agreement (or the most recent draft, provided that the final executed purchase and sale agreement is provided to Lender as soon as it is finalized, (v) a description, including a chart, if appropriate, of the ownership structure of the Proposed Transferee and each of its principals, Affiliates and parent or other majority owners, as applicable, (vi) if available, the Proposed Transferee’s management plan for the Mortgaged Property, (vii) the status of the Proposed Transferee and, if the Proposed Transferee is a single asset entity, of its principals, parent or other majority owners, as a Qualified Real Estate Investor and (viii) such other information as Lender may reasonably request to permit Lender to determine the creditworthiness and management abilities of the Proposed Transferee and its principals, Affiliates and parent or other majority owners, as applicable;

 

(b)           The Loan must be current in all respects and no Event of Default under the Loan Documents shall have occurred and be continuing, nor any event shall have occurred and be continuing that, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would result in an Event of Default, either as of the date the notice is given to Lender under Section 8.2(a) above, or thereafter through the date of transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property;

 

(c)           The Proposed Transferee, or, if the Proposed Transferee is a limited purpose entity, each of its principals, parent or other majority owners, as applicable, shall be a Qualified Real Estate Investor;

 

59



 

(d)           The Proposed Transferee may in no event be a tenant in common and in no event shall the Loan Documents permit a tenancy in common form of ownership of the Property, other than in accordance with the TIC Agreement.  Borrower and each and every subsequent transferee Borrower shall covenant and agree that in no event will any of the Mortgaged Property be transferred to or held by any tenant in common while the Loan is still outstanding, other than in accordance with the TIC Agreement;

 

(e)           The Mortgaged Property must continue to be managed by a management company approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion under a written management agreement satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion.  The terms and provisions of any management agreement affecting the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation the right to receive any fees and payments there under, shall be expressly and unconditionally subordinate and inferior to the lien and the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents;

 

(f)            The Proposed Transferee shall expressly assume Borrower’s obligations under the Loan and the Loan Documents pursuant to a written agreement which is satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion, subject to the nonrecourse provisions of the Loan Documents existing as of the date of the closing of the Title Transfer (the “Non-Recourse Carve Outs”). Additionally, at the time of the assumption of the Loan, the Proposed Transferee shall furnish to Lender an Environmental Indemnification Agreement satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion (the “New Indemnity”), and a financially responsible Person and/or Persons approved by Lender shall deliver a Recourse Guaranty Agreement satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion guaranteeing the Non-Recourse Carve Outs (the “New Recourse Guaranty”), and shall sign the New Indemnity along with the Proposed Transferee as an Indemnitor thereunder.  It is understood and agreed that the New Recourse Guaranty and the New Indemnity shall be prepared on Lender’s then current forms, which may be different than the forms of Recourse Guaranty Agreement and Environmental Indemnification Agreement executed by Borrower and Indemnitor, as applicable, as a result of Lender’s updating Lender’s standard form of Environmental Indemnification Agreement and/or Recourse Guaranty Agreement, or with respect to the Environmental Indemnification Agreement, as a result of specific environmental conditions at the Mortgaged Property.  Borrower and the Proposed Transferee and such other entities or persons as Lender shall require shall also deliver and, if applicable, execute (i) evidence of authority and entity existence, (ii) Uniform Commercial Code searches, (iii) Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, (iv) an endorsement to Lender’s title policy updating the effective date to the date of the transfer, showing the Proposed Transferee as the owner of the Mortgaged Property, showing no additional title exceptions, except as shall be approved by Lender and otherwise acceptable to Lender, (v) opinions of counsel acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion on such matters as Lender shall require, (vi) evidence of such insurance as shall be required by the Loan Documents and Lender and (vii) such other documents as Lender shall require in order to effectuate the transaction as contemplated by this Section 8.2.  At the closing of any approved Title Transfer, the Proposed Transferee shall deposit with Lender sufficient funds to pay when due all real estate taxes, assessments and municipal charges, and to pay any ground rents, with respect to the Mortgaged Property.  In addition, Lender may require the Proposed Transferee to establish with Lender at the time of closing of any approved Title Transfer, a reserve for future tenant improvements, leasing commissions and/or capital improvements.  To the extent the Loan Documents require any other reserves or deposits the same shall be established by the Proposed Transferee prior to the date of closing of the proposed

 

60



 

Title Transfer.  The foregoing requirement for deposits and reserves shall be required notwithstanding that any of the foregoing may have been waived by Lender with respect to Borrower either in the Application, the Loan Documents or in any side letter or agreement executed by Lender;

 

(g)           At the closing of any approved Title Transfer, Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Lender a fee in the amount of one half of one percent (0.5%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan in cash or certified funds (the “Transfer Fee”).  The Transfer Fee is being paid in order to induce Lender to allow the Proposed Transferee to assume the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents and to release Borrower from liability there under for Borrower’s obligations, acts and omissions from and after the date of transfer in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.2, provided that, in no event shall Borrower be released from any liability for acts or omissions occurring prior to the date of such Title Transfer, including, without limitation, acts or omissions leading to environmental contamination, whether known or unknown;

 

(h)           The Debt Yield, calculated as of the last day of the calendar month ending two (2) calendar months prior to the month in which the Title Transfer is anticipated to occur, based upon financial statements satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion, shall be not less than ten percent (10%) (the “Transfer Debt Yield Requirement”); provided, however, if the Transfer Debt Yield Requirement will not be satisfied, Borrower may, at its option, repay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan by an amount necessary to achieve the Transfer Debt Yield Requirement.  In connection with any request by Borrower for a Title Transfer pursuant to this Section 8.2, Borrower shall provide Lender with Borrower’s own proposed calculation of the Debt Yield, certified by an authorized officer or representative of Borrower, together with all relevant supporting detail required to calculate the same.  Lender shall then perform Lender’s own independent calculation of Debt Yield, which shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower absent manifest error;

 

(i)            On the date of the closing of the Title Transfer, the Loan to Value Ratio shall not be more than sixty-five percent (65%), based on the acquisition price of the Mortgaged Property (the “Transfer Loan to Value Ratio Requirement”); provided, however, if the Transfer Loan to Value Ratio Requirement will not be satisfied, Borrower may, at its option, repay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan by an amount necessary to achieve the Transfer Loan to Value Ratio Requirement.

 

(j)            As of the date of the closing of such proposed Title Transfer, the Proposed Transferee shall provide evidence acceptable to Lender that its cash equity investment in the Mortgaged Property is unencumbered;

 

(k)           The proposed Title Transfer shall not cause a violation of any federal, state or local law, statute, rule, regulation or order governing the Mortgaged Property, Borrower or the Proposed Transferee or any of its or their principals, parent, or other owners;

 

(l)            The proposed Title Transfer shall not cause any breach or violation of any of the provisions contained in Section 6.11; and

 

61



 

(m)          Borrower shall pay all of Lender’s costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the proposed Title Transfer whether or not such Title Transfer actually occurs including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, recording and filing charges, title company charges and the cost of the endorsement to Lender’s title policy.

 

Lender will not review or process Borrower’s request for approval of a proposed Title Transfer until such time as Lender has received all of the items, including the Processing Fee, required to be delivered to Lender pursuant to this Section 8.2.  Notwithstanding the foregoing Subsections 8.2(h) and (i), if Borrower elects to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan pursuant to both Subsections 8.2(h) and (i), Borrower shall only be obligated to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan by the greater of the two amounts determined by Lender to be necessary to achieve the Transfer Debt Yield Requirement and the Transfer Loan to Value Ratio Requirement, respectively.  Any such repayment of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan by Borrower shall be accompanied by the applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, due with respect to the principal amount of the Loan so repaid; provided, however, if the Title Transfer occurs prior to the Closed Prepayment Date, the Prepayment Premium shall be calculated as set forth in Subsection 2.5(b).  In the event of such repayment, the monthly installments of interest or principal and interest, as applicable, due thereafter pursuant to Subsections 2.3(b) or 2.3(c), respectively, shall be calculated by Lender based on the Contract Rate and such reduced principal balance of the Loan.

 

Section 8.3             Release and Substitution of Release Property.  During the period commencing on July 1, 2014 through and including July 1, 2025, upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, Lender agrees to release either Mortgaged Property A or Mortgaged Property B from the lien of the applicable Mortgage (such property, the “Release Property”), and to substitute and spread the lien of such Mortgage to encumber another property as part of the Mortgaged Property for the Loan in its place (the “Substitute Property”), provided that all of the following terms and conditions have been satisfied, as determined by Lender:

 

(a)           The Substitute Property must be of a similar size, type, quality and character as the Release Property;

 

(b)           The substitution of the Substitute Property for the Release Property must not adversely affect the overall geographic diversity of Lender’s portfolio;

 

(c)           Borrower must own one hundred percent (100%) of the Substitute Property in fee simple (i.e., Borrower’s ownership interest in the Substitute Property must not be a leasehold interest);

 

(d)           Following the release of either Mortgaged Property A or Mortgaged Property B from the lien of the applicable Mortgage, no further release and substitution hereunder shall be permitted;

 

(e)           After giving effect to the proposed release and substitution, the Substitution Debt Yield, calculated as of the last day of the calendar month ending two (2) calendar months prior to the month in which such release and substitution is anticipated to occur, shall be no less than the Current Debt Yield calculated by Lender for the twelve (12) month

 

62



 

period immediately preceding such release and substitution, and in no event shall the Substitution Debt Yield, as calculated by Lender pursuant to this Subsection 8.3(e), be less than ten percent (10%) ( the “Substitution Debt Yield Requirement”); provided, however, if the Substitution Debt Yield Requirement will not be satisfied, Borrower may, at its option, repay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan by an amount necessary to achieve the Substitution Debt Yield Requirement.  In connection with any request by Borrower for a substitution and release pursuant to this Section 8.3, Borrower shall provide Lender with Borrower’s own proposed calculations of the Substitution Debt Yield and the Current Debt Yield, certified by an authorized officer or representative of Borrower, together with all relevant supporting detail required to calculate the same.  Lender shall then perform Lender’s own independent calculation of the Substitution Debt Yield and the Current Debt Yield, which shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower absent manifest error;

 

(f)            On the date of closing of the proposed release and substitution, the Loan to Value Ratio after giving effect to any such substitution, based on the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property with the Substitute Property, shall be not more than the lesser of (i) sixty-five percent (65%) and (ii) the Loan to Value Ratio based on the value of the Mortgaged Property with the Release Property prior to such substitution (the “Substitution LTV Requirement”); provided, however, if the Substitution LTV Requirement will not be satisfied, Borrower may, at its option, repay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan by an amount necessary to achieve the Substitution LTV Requirement.  To determine whether the Substitution LTV Requirement is satisfied, (x) the value of the Mortgaged Property that is not being released will initially be calculated based on Lender’s own discounted cash flow analysis and, if Borrower disagrees with such resulting value, then Lender will order and obtain an appraisal of such Mortgaged Property from an appraiser holding the MAI designation at Borrower’s sole cost and expense; (y) if the Release Property is to be sold to a third party unaffiliated with Borrower pursuant to an executed agreement of sale, the value of the Release Property will be the sale price, or if the Release Property is not subject to such an agreement of sale then the value of the Release Property will be initially calculated based on Lender’s own discounted cash flow analysis and, if Borrower disagrees with such resulting value, then Lender will order and obtain an appraisal of the Release Property from an appraiser holding the MAI designation at Borrower’s sole cost and expense; and (z) Lender will order and obtain an appraisal of the Substitute Property from an appraiser holding the MAI designation at Borrower’s sole cost and expense.  Each determination of the Loan to Value Ratio in accordance with this Subsection 8.3(f) shall be conclusive and binding on Lender and Borrower absent manifest error;

 

(g)           The net operating income history, occupancy, location, demographics, rental rates, tenant mix, and credit quality of the Substitute Property must be reasonably acceptable to Lender, after taking into consideration market and economic trends;

 

(h)           Lender may reject any Substitute Property that would not be in compliance in all material respects with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, or would be detrimental to the overall quality and/or value of the Mortgaged Property or the Loan, or both.  Factors Lender shall consider include, but are not limited to, occupancy by a single tenant, unsatisfactory credit quality of tenants, unusual or unique improvements or location and seismic performance of the Substitute Property;

 

63



 

(i)            The Substitute Property shall be multi-tenanted, with no single tenant constituting more than twenty percent (20%) of the gross leasable area of the Substitute Property, unless otherwise approved by Lender in writing;

 

(j)            Borrower shall pay to Lender a fee equal to, as applicable: (i) Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) for the release and substitution of Mortgaged Property A, or (ii) Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) for the release and substitution of Mortgaged Property B.  Borrower shall also pay, within ten (10) days after receipt of each billing, all reasonably incurred costs arising from any request for release and property substitution, whether or not such substitution is actually pursued by Borrower, is ever approved by Lender or is ever completed, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, appraisal fees, market studies and expenses, title insurance premiums, engineering fees and expenses, recording fees and taxes.  Lender shall have the right to require that Borrower pay a reasonable advance deposit of funds, which shall be applied toward payment of such costs and expenses.  There shall be no Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing at the time each request for release or substitution is made through the completion of the release and substitution, nor may any event have occurred which, after the giving of notice or passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the removal of a Release Property from the Mortgaged Property through release and substitution will cure a default or an Event of Default under the Loan Documents, then release and substitution shall be permitted so long as all other requirements and conditions of this Section 8.3 have been satisfied and no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or any event exist which, after the giving of notice or passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default;

 

(k)           In order to substitute one property for another as Mortgaged Property for the Loan, Borrower acknowledges that Borrower and Lender must go through many of the same steps required to close the Loan initially. Solely for purposes of illustration and without limitation, environmental assessments must be performed and analyzed; leases must be obtained, reviewed and tenant estoppel letters obtained; the status of title to the Substitute Property must be evaluated and title insurance obtained, including, but not limited to, any title policy endorsement required by Lender in its reasonable discretion to insure that the release will not impair Lender’s coverage under Lender’s then existing title policy as to the remaining Mortgaged Property; insurance coverages must be reviewed, approved and confirmed pursuant to the requirements of Section 3.1 hereof; plans and specifications must be obtained and reviewed; evidence satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion of substantial compliance obtained, etc.  Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that all terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be applicable to any Substitute Property.  All documents relating to the substitution shall be in satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion;

 

(l)            Lender and Borrower shall enter into such amendments and modifications of the Loan Documents, additional loan documents and other instruments as required by Lender in its good faith discretion to reflect the Substitute Property as security for the Loan;

 

(m)          The terms of this Section 8.3  are personally available to and for the sole benefit of the original named Borrower herein, and shall not be available to or assignable to any other person or party, including, without limitation, any third party assuming the Loan.  Any right to request any release and substitution shall terminate and become null and void upon any

 

64



 

transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, or upon any direct or indirect transfer of any ownership interest in Borrower or in any Upstream Owner (other than a transfer permitted pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof), whether or not any such transfers are permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents, or otherwise approved by Lender; and

 

(n)           The proposed substitution shall not cause any breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of Section 6.11.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing Subsections 8.3(e) and (f), if Borrower elects to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan pursuant to both Subsections 8.3(e) and (f), Borrower shall only be obligated to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan by the greater of the two amounts determined by Lender to be necessary to achieve the Substitution Debt Yield Requirement and the Substitution LTV Requirement, respectively.  Any such repayment of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan by Borrower shall be accompanied by the applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, due with respect to the principal amount of the Loan so repaid; provided, however, if the release and substitution occurs prior to the Closed Prepayment Date, the Prepayment Premium shall be calculated as set forth in Subsection 2.5(b).  In the event of such repayment, the monthly installments of interest or principal and interest, as applicable, due thereafter pursuant to Subsections 2.3(b) or 2.3(c), respectively, shall be calculated by Lender based on the Contract Rate and such reduced principal balance of the Loan.

ARTICLE 10.

 

REMEDIES

 

Section 10.1           Remedies.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may (1) declare the entire Loan to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate the maturity thereof, notice of acceleration of the maturity thereof, or other notice of default of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, (2) terminate the obligation, if any, of Lender to advance amounts hereunder, and (3) exercise all rights and remedies therefor under this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and at law or in equity; provided nothing in this Section 10.1 shall limit or prejudice Lender’s ability to make protective advances to protect the collateral securing the Loan.

 

Section 10.2           Lender’s Right to Perform the Obligations.  If Borrower shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform any act required by the Loan Documents, then while any Event of Default exists, and without notice to or demand upon Borrower and without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse Lender may have because of such Event of Default, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or perform such act for the account of and at the expense of Borrower, and shall have the right to enter upon the Premises for such purpose and to take all such action thereon and with respect to the Mortgaged Property as it may deem necessary or appropriate.  If Lender shall elect to pay any sum due with reference to the Mortgaged Property, Lender may do so in reliance on any bill, statement or assessment procured from the appropriate governmental authority or other issuer thereof without inquiring into the accuracy or validity thereof.  Similarly, in making any payments to protect the security intended to be created by the Loan Documents, Lender shall not be bound to inquire into the validity of any apparent or threatened adverse title, lien, encumbrance, claim or charge before making an advance for the purpose of preventing or removing the same.  Additionally, if any Hazardous Substances affect or threaten to affect the Premises, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) give such notices and take such actions as it deems necessary or advisable in order to abate the discharge of any Hazardous Substances or remove the Hazardous Substances.  Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against, and be responsible for, any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred or accruing by reason of any acts performed by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.2, including those arising from the joint, concurrent, or comparative negligence of Lender, except as a result of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  All sums paid by Lender pursuant to this Section 10.2 and all other sums expended by Lender to which it shall be entitled to be indemnified, shall be deemed to be an Advance by Lender, shall constitute additions to the Loan, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand.

 

68



 

Section 10.3           Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.

 

(a)           Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower in reliance upon the aggregate of Mortgaged Property A and Mortgaged Property B taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of the Mortgaged Property taken separately.  The Mortgages are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (a) an Event of Default under one of the Mortgages shall constitute an Event of Default under the other Mortgage which secures the Note; (b) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Mortgage; and (c) each Mortgage shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Note.

 

(b)           To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Mortgaged Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Mortgages, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Mortgaged Property for the collection of the Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Indebtedness out of the net proceeds of the Mortgaged Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.  In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of one or both of the Mortgages, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Mortgaged Property or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against one of Mortgaged Property A or Mortgaged Property B before proceeding against the other; and further, in the event of such foreclosure, Borrower hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of Mortgaged Property A and Mortgaged Property B.  Borrower agrees that the actions, sales, proceedings and foreclosure described herein or in any of the other Loan Documents may be commenced in any order determined by Lender.

LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY

 

Section 11.1           Limitation on Liability.

(iv)          Any Equipment material to the operation of the Mortgaged Property which is removed from the Premises by or on behalf of Borrower and not replaced with Equipment of the same utility and of the same or greater value — Recourse liability for the replacement value of any Equipment which is removed and not so replaced;

 

(v)           Any act of arson, malicious destruction or waste by Borrower, any Indemnitor, any Principal, or any general partner, manager or managing member of Borrower which affects all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property — Recourse liability for any Losses incurred by Lender in connection with such acts;

75



 

other Loan Documents.  Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, investor in such Transfer or Participation (collectively, the “Investor”) and each prospective Investor or any agency maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan, the Mortgaged Property, Borrower, any Principal, and any Indemnitor, whether provided by Borrower, any Indemnitor, or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable.  Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have under applicable state or federal law to prohibit disclosure, including any right of privacy.  Further Borrower acknowledges that such information may be transmitted via the internet or by email.  Lender will notify Borrower in writing of any Transfer of the Loan that results in Lender or its affiliates not retaining any ownership or servicing interest in the Loan.  Any Person with whom Lender shares information pursuant to this Section 12.13 shall be required to keep such information confidential; provided, however, Lender shall have no liability on account of the failure of any such Person to maintain such confidentiality despite such requirement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.13, Lender shall not include the Loan in any rated public offering or securitize the Loan, in each case without Borrower’s prior written consent.  Each Investor that becomes a “Lender” hereunder and that grants a further Participation of its interest in the Loan shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, cause to be kept a register on which it enters the name and address of each of its participants and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each such participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents according to such reasonable regulations as such Investor may prescribe (the “Sub-Participant Register”); provided that no such Investor shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Sub-Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loan, letter of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Sub-Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Investor shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Sub-Participant Register as the owner of such further Participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, neither Lender nor the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have any responsibility for maintaining a Sub-Participant Register.

 

 

Section 12.14         Cooperation.  Borrower shall, and shall cause each Principal and Indemnitor to, cooperate with Lender in connection with servicing the Loan and any Transfer, Participation or any other financing created or obtained in connection with the Loan, including:

 

(a)           Estoppel Certificates.  Borrower, within ten (10) days following a request by Lender, shall provide Lender or any proposed assignee with an estoppel certificate containing the information set forth in Section 6.9 and such other information that Lender shall reasonably request, duly acknowledged and certified;

 

(b)           Bifurcation of Note.  The Note and the Mortgage may, at any time until the same shall be fully paid and satisfied, at the sole election of Lender, be split or divided into two or more notes and two or more security instruments, each of which shall cover all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property to be more particularly described therein.  To that end,

 

76



 

Borrower, upon written request of Lender, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered by any Indemnitor or the then owner of any of the Mortgaged Property, to Lender and/or its designee or designees substitute notes and security instruments in such principal amounts, aggregating not more than the then unpaid principal amount of Indebtedness, and containing terms, provisions and clauses similar to those contained herein and in the Note, which, in the aggregate, will have economic terms consistent with the Loan, and such other documents and instruments as may be required by Lender, which have no material adverse effect on Borrower.  Borrower shall not be required to reimburse Lender for any of Lender’s costs incurred in connection with any such Transfer or Participation; and

 

(c)           No Out-of-Pocket Costs.  Borrower may be required to execute additional documents in connection with any such Transfer, Participation or financing, including a new note or notes, which have no material adverse effect on Borrower.  Borrower shall not be required to incur any out of pocket costs, and Lender shall reimburse Borrower for any such out of pocket costs, in connection with any such cooperation, and reimbursement of such expenses shall be a condition to the execution of such additional documents by Borrower.

 

Section 12.15         Register.  Lender or, in the event there is an Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof, Administrative Agent, shall cause to be kept a register (the Register”) for the registration of ownership and transfer or assignment of the Note or any substitute note or notes secured by the Mortgage.  The names and addresses of the registered owners of such notes, the transfers or assignment of such notes and the names and addresses of the transferees of such notes will be registered in the Register under such reasonable regulations as Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, may prescribe.  Borrower and Lender and, if applicable, Administrative Agent, shall deem and treat the registered owner of any note as shown in the Register as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and neither Borrower, Lender nor, if applicable, Administrative Agent, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary and payment of the principal of, interest on, and Prepayment Premium, if any, due on or with respect to the related note shall be made only to or upon the order of such registered owner.  All such payments so made shall be valid and effective to satisfy and discharge the liability of Borrower upon such notes to the extent of the sums so paid.  Upon reasonable request from time to time, Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall permit Borrower and Lender to examine the Register.

 

Section 12.16         Limitation on Interest.  It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable usury laws.  Accordingly, all agreements between Borrower and Lender with respect to the Loan are hereby expressly limited so that in no event, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender or charged by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be lent hereunder or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount allowed by law.  If the Loan would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the State and the laws of the United States of America), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents:  (a) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under the Loan Documents shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited, without any Prepayment Premium, to the outstanding principal of the Loan; and (b) if the Maturity Date is accelerated by reason of an election by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, or in the event of any prepayment, then any consideration

 

77



 

which constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by applicable law.  In such case, excess interest, if any, provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread from the date of advance until payment in full thereof so that the actual rate of interest is uniform through the term hereof.  If such amortization, proration, allocation and spreading is not permitted under applicable law, then such excess interest shall be cancelled automatically on the Note as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited, without any Prepayment Premium, to the outstanding principal of the Loan.  The terms and provisions of this Section 12.16 shall control and supersede every other provision of the Loan Documents.  The Loan Documents are contracts made under and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State as set forth in Section 12.19 hereof, except that if at any time the laws of the United States of America permit Lender to contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive a higher rate of interest than is allowed by the laws of the State (whether such federal laws directly so provide or refer to the law of any state), then such federal laws shall to such extent govern as to the rate of interest which Lender may contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive under the Loan Documents.

 

Section 12.17         Survival.  All of the representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities of Borrower hereunder (including environmental matters under Article 4 and under the indemnification provisions herein and in the other Loan Documents) shall survive (a) the repayment in full of the Loan and the release of the Liens evidencing or securing the Loan, (b) the transfer (by sale, foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) of any or all right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property to any party, and (c) in the event Lender assigns any interest in the Loan hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the making of such assignment, notwithstanding that such assigning Lender may cease to be a “Lender” hereunder.

 

Section 12.18         WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, OR RELATED TO, THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT.  THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY, AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AND EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE OTHER PARTY HAS NOT MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR IN ANY WAY TO MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT.  BORROWER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BORROWER HAS BEEN REPRESENTED (OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED) IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED BY BORROWER AND THAT BORROWER HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL.

 

Section 12.19         Governing Law.  In all respects, including, without limitation, matters of construction and performance of this Agreement and the obligations arising hereunder, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State in which the Premises are located applicable to contracts and obligations made and performed in such State and any applicable laws of the United States of America.  Interpretation

 

78



 

and construction of this Agreement shall be according to the contents hereof and without presumption or standard of construction in favor of or against Borrower or Lender.

 

Section 12.20         Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue.  Borrower hereby submits to personal jurisdiction in the State in which the Premises are located for the enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and irrevocably waives any and all rights to object to such jurisdiction for the purposes of litigation to enforce any provision of this Agreement.  Each of Lender and Borrower hereby consents to the jurisdiction of and agrees that any action, suit or proceeding to enforce this Agreement may be brought in any state or federal court in the state in which the Premises are located.  Each of Lender and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection that it may have to the laying of the venue of any such actions, suit, or proceeding in any such court and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

Section 12.21         Service of Process.  In its filings with the Secretary of State of the State of California, Borrower has appointed Paracorp Incorporated, 2804 Gateway Oaks Drive, Suite 200, Sacramento, California 95833 as its authorized agent to accept and acknowledge on its behalf service of any and all process which may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding in any federal or state court and agrees that service of process upon said agent at said address and written notice of said service, and a full copy of all documents that were served, mailed or delivered to Borrower in the manner provided herein shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon Borrower, in any such suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement.  Borrower (a) shall give prompt notice to Lender of any change of address of its authorized agent hereunder, (b) may at any time and from time to time designate a substitute authorized agent with an office in the State where the Premises are located (which substitute agent and office shall be designated as the person and address for service of process), and (c) shall promptly designate such a substitute if its authorized agent ceases to have an office the State where the Premises are located or is dissolved without leaving a successor.

 

Section 12.22         Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Lender and Borrower and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.  Accordingly, the Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties.  There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

 

Section 12.23         Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one document.

 

Section 12.24         Pledge and Grant of Security Interest.  Borrower hereby pledges to Lender, and grants a security interest in, any and all monies now or hereafter deposited with Lender from time to time as additional security for the payment of the Loan.  Borrower shall not further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any monies on deposit therein from time to time or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or authorize any UCC-1 financing statements (except those naming Lender as the secured party) to be filed with respect thereto.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of

 

79



 

Default, Lender may apply any such sums then deposited with Lender to the payment of the charges for which such funds have been deposited or to the payment of the Loan or any other charges affecting the security of the Loan, as Lender may elect, but no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender.  Until expended or applied as above provided, such funds shall constitute additional security for the Loan.

 

Section 12.25         Costs.  Except as provided in Section 12.14, Borrower shall pay all reasonable Costs incurred by Lender in connection with the documentation, modification, workout, collection or enforcement of the Loan or any of the Loan Documents (as applicable), including probate, appellate and bankruptcy proceedings, any post-judgment proceedings to collect or enforce any judgment or order relating to the Loan or any of the Loan Documents (as applicable), and all such Costs shall be included as additional Indebtedness bearing interest at the Default Rate set forth herein until paid.  In any action to foreclose the lien hereof or otherwise enforce Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder, there shall be allowed and included as additional Indebtedness all Costs which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Lender.  For the purposes hereof “Costs” means all expenditures and expenses which may be paid or reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Lender including repair costs, payments to remove or protect against liens, reasonable attorneys’ fees (including reasonable fees of Lender’s inside counsel), receivers’ fees, appraisers’ fees, engineers’ fees, accountants’ fees, independent consultants’ fees (including environmental consultants), all costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any of the foregoing, Lender’s actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred with respect to any audit or inspection of the Mortgaged Property, reasonably incurred outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers’ charges, stamp taxes, publication costs, and costs (which may be estimates as to items to be expended after entry of an order or judgment) for procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and examination, title insurance policies, and similar data and assurances with respect to title as Lender may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute any action or to evidence to bidders at any sale of the partnership interests in Borrower the true condition of the title to, or the value of, the Mortgaged Property.  Further, all “Costs” shall include such other costs, expenses and fees as may be reasonably incurred by Lender in the protection of the Mortgaged Property and the maintenance of the lien of the Mortgage, including, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs in any litigation or proceeding affecting this Agreement, the Mortgage, the Note, the other Loan Documents, the Mortgaged Property or the Personal Property, including probate, appellate, and bankruptcy proceedings, and any post-judgment proceedings to collect or enforce any judgment or order relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to obtain any court order or the appointment of a receiver to enforce Lender’s rights pursuant to Section 564 of the California Code of Civil Procedure and/or Section 2929.5 of the California Civil Code or in preparation for the commencement or defense of any action or proceeding, shall be immediately due and payable to Lender, with interest thereon at the Default Rate, and shall be secured by the Mortgage.  This provision is separate and several, and shall survive the merger of this provision into any judgment.

 

Section 12.26         Confidentiality.  Lender shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the prior written consent of Borrower, other than (a) to Lender’s Affiliates, head office, branches and representative offices, and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors; (b) to actual or prospective transferees of Lender’s interest in

 

80



 

the Loan, provided that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made pursuant to this clause (b) will agree to be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and shall have agreed in writing to keep such Confidential Information confidential in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.26; (c) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process; (d) as requested or required by any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating such Lender; (e) to any service provider of Lender (excluding Lender’s inside or outside legal counsel), provided that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made pursuant to this clause (e) will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and shall have agreed in writing to keep such Confidential Information confidential in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.26; and (f) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not have any liability hereunder or otherwise to Borrower for any failure of any Person to whom Lender discloses Confidential Information in accordance with this Section 12.26 to maintain the confidentiality thereof.

 

Section 12.27         Status of Lenders.

 

(a)           Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

 

(b)           Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

 

(i)            any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

 

(ii)           any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

(A)          in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption

 

81



 

from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

 

(B)           executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

(C)           in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

 

(D)          to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

 

(iii)          any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

 

(iv)          if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

82



 

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do

 

ARTICLE 13.

 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

Section 13.1           Appointment, Powers and ImmunitiesAt all times when there is a Lender other than (including in addition to) Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company under this Agreement, the Lenders shall be deemed to appoint and authorize the Administrative Agent to act for all purposes as their agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.  The provisions of this Article 13 shall not apply at any time when the Administrative Agent is the sole Lender.

 

Section 13.2           Reliance by Borrower on Administrative Agent.  At all times when there is more than one Lender, (1) Borrower (a) is entitled to rely on the Administrative Agent for any waiver, amendment, approval or consent given by “Lender” under the Loan Documents, (b) shall adhere only to waivers, amendments, approvals or consents given by Administrative Agent, on behalf of “Lender” under the Loan Documents, and (c) shall make all payments under the Notes and the other Loan Documents to Administrative Agent, as set forth herein, and (2) Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of all of the Lenders, be permitted to take all actions, including exercising all remedies, permitted to be taken by “Lender” under the Loan Documents (either by law or pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents), and (3) all legal action taken respecting the Loan Documents shall be taken by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and all default notices under the Loan Documents will be provided by the Administrative Agent.  Unless and until the Lenders notify Borrower otherwise, the Administrative Agent is Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers Inc.  Any successor Administrative Agent shall be a U.S. Person.  The use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Notes, unless otherwise directed by Administrative Agent in writing, all payments under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall be made by Borrower to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 2.7(a) of this Agreement.

 

Section 13.3           Rights as a Lender.  If the Administrative Agent is also a Lender hereunder it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.
