2.     GENERAL LOAN TERMS

 

2.1     THE LOAN. Lender is making a loan (the “Loan”) to Borrower on the date hereof, in the maximum, original principal amount of up to SIXTY-SIX MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($66,850,000.00), which shall, subject to Section 2.9 below, mature on the Stated Maturity Date. Borrower acknowledges receipt of the Initial Advance, the proceeds of which are being and shall be used to: (i) repay and discharge existing loans relating to the Property, (ii) fund certain of the Subaccounts, and (iii) pay transaction costs. Any excess proceeds may be used for any lawful purpose. No amount repaid in respect of the Loan may be re-borrowed. Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender that, in connection with the closing of the Loan, none of Borrower, Guarantor or any officer, director, employee or Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor will, directly or indirectly, receive any of the distributions designated for those Persons identified as Class A Members on Schedule 11 attached hereto.

On the date hereof, Lender has advanced a portion of the Loan in an amount of SIXTY-THREE MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY-NINE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($63,779,500.00) (the “Initial Advance”). A portion of the proceeds of the Loan in an amount equal to THREE MILLION SEVENTY THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($3,070,500.00) (the “Future Advance”) shall not be advanced on the Closing Day by Lender and shall not be considered part of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and shall not accrue interest until such time as, either (i) the same is advanced by Lender in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2.1 or (ii) any unfunded portion of the Future Advance is funded into the Leasing Reserve as provided in Section 2.2.2 below. Concurrently with any advance of Loan proceeds hereunder, Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including, but not limited to, reasonable costs associated and incurred with the preparation and review of third party reports and reasonable attorneys’ fees based on the conditions set forth in Section 2.2.1.

 

1

 

 

2.2.1     FUTURE ADVANCE. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, Lender shall make one or more advances in an aggregate amount not to exceed the principal amount of the Future Advance for Approved Leasing Expenses. The making of any advance shall not be deemed a waiver of Lender’s rights and/or remedies hereunder, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any of the conditions precedent to Lender’s obligations to make further or future advances of the Future Advance. The Future Advance shall be subject to Borrower’s compliance with the following conditions precedent to Lender’s satisfaction:

 

(a)     No Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of an advance of any portion of the Future Advance;

 

(b)     Borrower shall submit completed duplicate original requests for each advance, certified as true and correct by Borrower, to Lender and Servicer (an “Advance Request”), setting forth the Future Advance amount desired and the purpose of the advance, not later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month preceding the Payment Date on which the requested advance is to be made and, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Section 2.2.1, Lender shall fund such Future Advance on such Payment Date;

 

(c)     Borrower shall not submit more than one (1) Advance Request in any calendar month or any Advance Request for an amount less than Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) (except for the final advance of the Future Advance);

 

(d)     Prior to the funding of any amount requested in the Advance Request, Lender shall have received an Officer’s Certificate certifying (v) that such funds will be used only to pay Approved Leasing Expenses and a description thereof, (w) that all outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (x) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, (y) that all previous disbursements have been used only to pay the previously identified Approved Leasing Expenses, and (z) that any construction work associated with such Approved Leasing Expenses has been completed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements and in accordance with approved plans and specifications therefor, and remaking, as of the date of the request, and as of the date of funding such request, each of the representations and warranties in Article 4 below;

 

(e)     Borrower shall have complied with and satisfied all General Construction Work Requirements;

 

2

 

 

(f)     Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the work to be paid by the requested advance has been completed in accordance with all General Construction Work Requirements and all applicable Legal Requirements; and

 

(g)     Borrower shall have executed and delivered to Lender such other certificates, documents or instruments as Lender may reasonably require, and shall have provided to Lender such other information or materials reasonably required by Lender.

 

2.2.2     LEASING RESERVE. If all or any part of the Future Advance has not been advanced in accordance with Section 2.2.1 above on or before the first anniversary of the date hereof, then, Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to advance the remaining balance of the Future Advance to Borrower, in which event Borrower shall deposit such advance with Lender and Lender shall cause such amount to be transferred to a Subaccount and shall be held by Lender as a reserve (the “Leasing Reserve”) in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2.2. From and after the date of the advance by Lender of the remaining balance of the Future Advance in accordance with this Section 2.2.2, the amount thereof shall be considered part of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and shall accrue interest as provided in Section 2.3 below. Borrower shall have the right to draw upon the Leasing Reserve on the same terms and conditions upon which Borrower could request an advance under Section 2.2.1 above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.2, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply all amounts deposited into the Leasing Reserve and other proceeds of repayment in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

2.3     INTEREST; MONTHLY PAYMENTS.

 

2.3.1     GENERALLY. From and after the date hereof, interest on the unpaid Principal shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable as provided herein. On the date hereof, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid Principal from the date hereof through and including December 31, 2019 and commencing on February 1, 2020 and on each Payment Date thereafter through and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid Principal accrued and accruing through the last day of the applicable Interest Period; provided, however, if the Stated Maturity Date has been extended to the Extended Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.9 hereof, then on each Payment Date from the Stated Maturity Date through and including the Extended Maturity Date, Borrower shall also pay to Lender the applicable Debt Service. All accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. If the Loan is repaid on any date other than on a Payment Date (whether prior to or after the Stated Maturity Date), Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on such repaid Principal to but not including the next Payment Date. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment, including any payment or recovery on the Property (whether through foreclosure or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, be applied in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.

 

3

 

 

2.3.2     DEFAULT RATE. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the entire unpaid Debt shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and shall be payable upon demand from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

2.3.3     TAXES. Any and all payments by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Lender’s income, and franchise taxes imposed on Lender by law or regulation of any Governmental Authority (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to in this Section as “Applicable Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, the following shall apply: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Payments pursuant to this Section shall be made within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.

 

2.3.4     BREAKAGE INDEMNITY. Borrower shall indemnify Lender against any loss or expense which Lender actually sustains or incurs in liquidating or redeploying deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain the Loan or any part thereof as a consequence of (i) any payment or prepayment of the Loan or any portion thereof made on a date other than a Payment Date, and (ii) any default in payment or prepayment of the Principal or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the date thereof or otherwise), and sums which it is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section. A statement as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Borrower’s obligations under this Section are in addition to Borrower’s obligations to pay any Yield Maintenance Premium applicable to any payment or prepayment of Principal.

 

2.3.5     REQUIREMENTS OF LAW.

 

(a)     If any Legal Requirement or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

 

(i)     shall subject Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, the Note or the Loan (excluding net income taxes) or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender in respect thereof;

 

(ii)     shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory advance or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR hereunder; or

 

4

 

 

(iii)     shall impose on Lender any other condition;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender, by an amount which Lender deems to be material, of making or maintaining the Loan or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Borrower shall, from time to time, upon receipt of prior written notice of not less than ten (10) Business Days of such fact and a reasonably detailed description of the circumstances, promptly pay Lender such additional amounts as will compensate Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable (provided such additional amounts are then being charged by Lender to its borrowers under similar loans generally) and are not prohibited by such Legal Requirements to be charged back.

 

(b)     If Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Legal Requirement regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Lender or any corporation controlling Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder by an amount deemed by Lender to be material (taking into consideration Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, Borrower shall promptly, upon no less than thirty (30) days’ notice from Lender, pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction (provided such additional amounts are then being charged by Lender to its borrowers under similar loans generally).

 

If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error or the provision of immediate proof by Borrower to the contrary.

 

2.4     LOAN REPAYMENT.

 

2.4.1     REPAYMENT. Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note in full on the Maturity Date, together with interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of repayment and any other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of any repayment, including any prepayments of the Loan, shall be applied by Lender as follows in the following order of priority: First, to accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate; Second, to Principal; Third, to the Exit Fee and any other amounts then due and owing under the Loan Documents, including the Yield Maintenance Premium (if such repayment or prepayment occurs on or prior to the Yield Maintenance Date). If prior to the Stated Maturity Date (or the Extended Maturity Date, as applicable), the Debt is accelerated by reason of an Event of Default, then Lender shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the unpaid Principal and accrued interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium (if the Maturity Date is accelerated to a date on or prior to the Yield Maintenance Date) and Exit Fee. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment, including any payment or recovery on the Property (whether through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, be applied in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.

 

5

 

 

2.4.2     MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS. The Loan is subject to mandatory prepayment in certain instances of Insured Casualty or Condemnation (each a “Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”), in the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 7.4.2 and as provided in this Agreement (collectively, a “Mandatory Prepayment”). Each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment, after deducting Lender’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with the settlement or collection of the Proceeds or Award, and each other Mandatory Prepayment shall be applied in the same manner as repayments under Section 2.4.1, and if such Mandatory Prepayment is made on any date other than a Payment Date, then such Mandatory Payment shall include interest that would have accrued on the Principal prepaid to but not including the next Payment Date. Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, any Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment under this Section shall be without the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium, but subject to payment of the Exit Fee.

 

2.4.3     OPTIONAL PAYMENTS. Borrower shall have the right to prepay all, but not part (except as set forth in Section 5.34 hereof), of the Principal on any Payment Date provided that Borrower gives Lender at least thirty (30) days’ (and, prior to the Yield Maintenance Date, not more than sixty (60) days’), prior written notice thereof and such prepayment is accompanied by (a) if prepayment is made prior to the Yield Maintenance Date, the Yield Maintenance Premium, and (b) the Exit Fee applicable thereto. If any such prepayment is not made on a Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on such prepaid Principal to but not including the next Payment Date.

 

2.5     RELEASE OF PROPERTY. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of the Debt in accordance herewith, release or, if requested by Borrower, assign to Borrower’s designee (without representation or warranty by and without any recourse against Lender whatsoever) the Lien of the Loan Documents if not theretofore released.

 

2.6     PAYMENTS & COMPUTATIONS.

 

2.6.1     MAKING OF PAYMENTS. Each payment by Borrower shall be made in funds settled through New York Clearing House Interbank Payment Systems or other funds immediately available to Lender by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. All such payments shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and are payable without relief from valuation and appraisement laws and with all costs and charges incurred in the collection or enforcement thereof, including attorneys’ fees and court costs.

 

6

 

 

2.6.2     COMPUTATIONS. Interest payable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.

 

2.6.3     LATE PAYMENT CHARGE. If any Principal, interest or other sum due under any Loan Document (other than the Principal due on the Maturity Date) is not paid by Borrower within five (5) days after the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (the “Late Payment Charge”), in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Such amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents.

 

2.7     INTEREST RATE CAP AGREEMENTS.

 

2.7.1     INTEREST RATE CAP AGREEMENT. As of the date hereof, Borrower has entered into, made all payments required under, and satisfied all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of, an interest rate protection agreement that satisfies all of the following conditions (such interest rate protection agreement together with (i) any extensions thereof or (ii) any other interest rate protection agreement entered into pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Section 2.7.5 and Section 2.9 hereof), being referred to herein as the “Interest Rate Cap Agreement”):

 

(a)     The Interest Rate Cap Agreement is with a financial institution having a long term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating of at least “A+ by S&P and “A1 by Moody’s (or the equivalent rating from another Rating Agency acceptable to Lender, an “Acceptable Counterparty”); has a term ending no earlier than the Stated Maturity Date; is an interest rate cap in respect of a notational amount not less than the maximum Principal amount of the Loan that shall have the effect of capping LIBOR at 3.50% per annum; and provided that the only obligation of Borrower thereunder is the making of a single payment upon the execution and delivery thereof. For the purposes hereof, if the obligations of the counterparty are guaranteed, under the terms of a guaranty acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion, by a financial institution having a long term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating of at least “A- by S&P and “A3 by Moody’s or the equivalent rating from another Rating Agency acceptable to Lender, then such counterparty shall be deemed to be an Acceptable Counterparty for the purposes of this Agreement.

 

(b)     Borrower’s interest in such Interest Rate Cap Agreement has been assigned to Lender pursuant to documentation satisfactory to Lender in form and substance, and the counterparty to such Interest Rate Cap Agreement has executed and delivered to Lender an acknowledgment of such assignment, which acknowledgment shall be satisfactory to Lender in form and substance and, without limitation, shall include such counterparty’s agreement to (i) pay in accordance with the written direction of Lender, subject to Section 2.7.4 hereof, all sums payable by such counterparty pursuant to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and (ii) designate a successor counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, which successor counterparty shall satisfy the criteria set forth in clause (a) above and this clause (b), not later than ten (10) Business Days after the long term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating of such counterparty, or its guarantor, as applicable, is downgraded below “A- by S&P or “A3 by Moody’s.

Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Account, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums in any Account in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Security Instrument or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents. Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. All interest which accrues on the funds in any Subaccount (other than the Tax and Insurance Subaccount) shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to Borrower and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued. Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the Subaccounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower.

18

 

 

3.12.2     The failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 3.12.1 in full on each Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement; provided, however, if adequate funds are available in the Cash Management Account for such payments, the failure by the Cash Management Bank to allocate such funds into the appropriate Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of Default.

 

3.12.3     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.12, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, Lender may apply all Rents deposited into the Cash Management Account and other proceeds of repayment in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

3.12.4     Additional Provisions Regarding Cash Management. At such time as the Debt has been paid in full, Borrower and Lender hereby agree and acknowledge that any funds of Borrower possessed by or for the benefit of Lender, Servicer or the Cash Management Bank (including any Reserve Funds) shall be disbursed within three (3) Business Days after the Debt has been paid in full to Borrower.

 

3.13     EXISTING TI/LC OBLIGATIONS RESERVES. On the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the sum of $324,575.00, representing the tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions which are payable by Borrower as of the date hereof pursuant to the Properties and tenants set forth on Schedule 7 attached hereto. Lender shall transfer such amounts into a Subaccount (the “Existing TI/LC Subaccount”). Funds held in the Existing TI/LC Subaccount shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 3.5.1 hereof, in the amounts allocated to each tenant as set forth on Schedule 7 attached hereto. Borrower shall complete the tenant improvement work set forth on Schedule 7 within six (6) months after the date hereof.

On the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the sum of $125,000.00 to complete the West Broad SSDS Installation Work and Lender shall cause such amount to be transferred to a Subaccount (the “West Broad SSDS Subaccount”). Borrower shall perform and complete the West Broad SSDS Installation Work within six (6) months of the date hereof. Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the West Broad SSDS Subaccount to Borrower, within thirty (30) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $25,000 (other than the final disbursement, which may be less), accompanied by the following items (which items shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender): (i) an Officer’s Certificate (A) certifying that the West Broad SSDS Installation Work or any portion thereof which are the subject of the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with such West Broad SSDS Installation Work or any portion thereof, and (C) stating that each such Person has been paid in full with respect to the portion of the West Broad SSDS Installation Work which is the subject of the requested disbursement; (ii) copies of appropriate Lien waivers or other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the work to be reimbursed by the requested disbursement has been completed in accordance with all General Construction Work Requirements and all applicable Legal Requirements and has been fully paid for; (iii) at Lender’s option, a title search for the Property indicating that it is free from all Liens not previously approved by Lender; (iv) a copy of each License required to be obtained with respect to the portion of the West Broad SSDS Installation Work which is the subject of the requested disbursement; and (v) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the West Broad SSDS Installation Work which is the subject of the requested disbursement has been completed and fully paid for. Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, upon Borrower’s completion of all West Broad SSDS Installation Work in accordance with this Section 3.14, Lender shall release any funds remaining in the West Broad SSDS Subaccount, if any, to Borrower. Any such disbursement of more than $10,000 to pay (rather than reimburse, if permitted by Lender in its sole discretion) for any West Broad SSDS Installation Work may, at Lender’s option, be made by joint check payable to Borrower and the payee with respect to such West Broad SSDS Installation Work.

3.15     DISBURSEMENTS UPON PARTIAL RELEASE. Upon a Partial Release in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 5.34 hereof, provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse to Borrower that portion of the Reserve Funds allocable to the Partial Release Property, as determined by Lender, unless Lender determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such Reserve Funds will be needed for the purposes held therefor with respect to the remaining Properties after giving effect to the subject Partial Release.

 

4.     REPRESENTATIONS & WARRANTIES

 

Borrower represents and warrants to Lender as of the date hereof that, except to the extent (if any) disclosed on Schedule 3 with reference to a specific Section of this Article 4:

 

4.1     ORGANIZATION; SPECIAL PURPOSE. Each of Borrower and SPE Party has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, with requisite power and authority, and all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to own its properties and to transact the business in which it is now engaged. Each of Borrower and SPE Party is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, business and operations. Each of Borrower and SPE Party is a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity; provided, however, Lender hereby acknowledges that each of BSV Colonial Owner LLC and BSV Coral Hills LLC have owned property other than the Property prior to the date hereof.

 

4.2     PROCEEDINGS; ENFORCEABILITY. Borrower has the power to execute, deliver and perform, and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of, the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and, if applicable, Guarantor and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower and, if applicable, Guarantor, enforceable against Borrower and Guarantor in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and general principles of equity. The Loan Documents are not subject to, and neither Borrower nor Guarantor has asserted, any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury. No exercise of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or any right thereunder, will render any Loan Document unenforceable.

 

20

 

 

4.3     NO CONFLICTS. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower and, if applicable, Guarantor, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property of Borrower or Guarantor pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument or organizational document to which Borrower or Guarantor is a party or by which it or its property is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower, Guarantor or any of its or their properties. Borrower’s rights under the Licenses and the Management Agreement will not be adversely affected by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, Borrower’s performance thereunder, the recordation of the Security Instrument, or the exercise of any remedies by Lender. Any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority or any other Person required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower and, if applicable, Guarantor of the Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

 

4.4     LITIGATION. Except as expressly disclosed to Lender in writing, there are no actions, suits or other proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower, SPE Party, Guarantor, the Manager or the Property, which, if adversely determined, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower (including the ability of Borrower to carry out its obligations under the Loan Documents), SPE Party, Guarantor, Manager or the condition or ownership of the Property.

 

4.5     AGREEMENTS. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might adversely affect Borrower, Guarantor or the Property, or Borrower’s or Guarantor’s business, properties, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Permitted Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or the Property is bound.

 

21

 

 

4.6     TITLE. Borrower has good and indefeasible title in fee to the real property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens except the Permitted Encumbrances. All transfer taxes, deed stamps, intangible taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the transfer of the Property to Borrower have been paid. All mortgage, recording, stamp, intangible or other similar taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any of the Loan Documents have been paid. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, the Permitted Encumbrances do not materially adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property, or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s best knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or part of the Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to the Property. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents. There are no outstanding options to purchase or rights of first refusal affecting all or any portion of the Property. The survey for the Property delivered to Lender does not fail to reflect any material matter affecting the Property or the title thereto. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, except as shown on the survey for the Property delivered to Lender, all of the Improvements lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property, and no improvement on an adjoining property encroaches upon the Property, and no easement or other encumbrance upon the Property encroaches upon any of the Improvements, except those insured against by the Title Insurance Policy. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, each parcel comprising the Property is a separate tax lot and is not a portion of any other tax lot that is not a part of the Property. There are no pending or proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, or any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other assessments.

 

4.7     NO BANKRUPTCY FILING. Neither Borrower, Guarantor or SPE Party is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law or the liquidation of the Property or all or a major portion of its property (a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it, Guarantor, SPE Party or in any way related to the Property. In addition, neither Borrower, Guarantor nor SPE Party nor any principal nor Affiliate of either has been a party to, or the subject of a Bankruptcy Proceeding for the past ten (10) years.

 

4.8     FULL & ACCURATE DISCLOSURE. No statement of fact made by Borrower or Guarantor in any Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower that has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, or, as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or Guarantor. All financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of Borrower, Guarantor and the Property (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower, Guarantor and the Property as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP or tax accounting principles, in either case consistently applied, throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor has any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments, unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments or any liabilities or obligations which are prohibited pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower, Guarantor or the Property from that set forth in said financial statements.

 

22

 

 

4.9     TAX FILINGS. To the extent required, each of Borrower and Guarantor has filed (or has obtained effective extensions for filing) all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed and have paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable by Borrower and Guarantor. Borrower believes that its and Guarantor’s tax returns (if any) properly reflect the income and taxes of Borrower and Guarantor for the periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon audit.

 

4.10     ERISA; NO PLAN ASSETS. As of the date hereof and throughout the Term (i) Borrower is not and will not be an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, (ii) none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, (iii) Borrower is not and will not be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (iv) transactions by or with Borrower are not and will not be subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans. As of the date hereof, neither Borrower, nor any member of a “controlled group of corporations” (within the meaning of Section 414 of the Code) maintains, sponsors or contributes to a “defined benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(35) of ERISA) or a “multiemployer pension plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(37)(A) of ERISA).

 

4.11     COMPLIANCE. Except as expressly disclosed to Lender in writing, Borrower and the Property and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements (including with respect to parking and applicable zoning and land use laws, regulations and ordinances). Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, the violation of which might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower. The Property is used exclusively as retail shopping centers and other appurtenant and related uses. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, except as expressly disclosed in the zoning report for the Property delivered to Lender, in the event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits. No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the zoning of the Property. Except as expressly disclosed to Lender in writing, neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than the Property. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including certificates of completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Property (collectively, the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and effect. The use being made of the Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for the Property and all other restrictions, covenants and conditions affecting the Property.

 

23

 

 

4.12     CONTRACTS. There are no service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property that are not terminable on one (1) months’ notice or less without cause and without penalty or premium. All service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property have been entered into an arms-length in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business and provide for the payment of fees in amounts and upon terms comparable to existing market rates. No agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or is subject to or to which the Property is subject, provides any Person with the right to obtain, a Lien on the Property superior to the Lien of the Security Instrument.

 

4.13     FEDERAL RESERVE REGULATIONS; INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other regulation of such Board of Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Legal Requirements or any Loan Document. Borrower is not (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” within the meaning of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, as amended; or (iii) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.

 

4.14     EASEMENTS, UTILITIES & PUBLIC ACCESS. All easements, cross easements, licenses, air rights and rights-of-way or other similar property interests (collectively, “Easements”), if any, necessary for the full utilization of the Improvements for their intended purposes have been obtained, are described in the Title Insurance Policy and are in full force and effect without default thereunder. The Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service it for its intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of the Property are located in the public right-of-way abutting the Property, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property absent a valid easement. All roads necessary for the use of the Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.

 

4.15     PHYSICAL CONDITION. Except as expressly disclosed to Lender in writing, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, the Property, including all Improvements, parking facilities, systems, Personal Property and landscaping, are in good condition, order and repair in all material respects, and there exists no structural or other material defect or damage to the Property, whether latent or otherwise. Borrower has not received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defect or inadequacy in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect its insurability or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or any termination of any policy of insurance or bond. No portion of the Property is located in an area as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards.

 

24

 

 

4.16     LEASES. Borrower has delivered to Lender a true, correct and complete rent roll for the Property (the “Rent Roll”), which includes all Leases affecting the Property. Except as set forth on the Rent Roll: (i) each Lease is in full force and effect and all conditions precedent to each tenant’s obligations under the related Lease have been satisfied; (ii) the tenants under the Leases have accepted possession of and are in occupancy of all of their respective demised premises, have commenced the payment of rent under the Leases, and there are no offsets, claims or defenses to the enforcement thereof; (iii) all rents due and payable under the Leases have been paid and no portion thereof has been paid for any period more than thirty (30) days in advance; (iv) the rent payable under each Lease is the amount of fixed rent set forth in the Rent Roll, and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, except in connection with annual pass through reconciliations, there is no claim or basis for a claim by the tenant thereunder for an adjustment to the rent; (v) no tenant has made any material claim against the landlord under any Lease which remains outstanding, there are no defaults on the part of the landlord under any Lease, and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default; (vi) to Borrower’s best knowledge, there is no present material default by the tenant under any Lease; (vii) all security deposits under Leases are as set forth on the Rent Roll and are held consistent with Section 3.9; (viii) Borrower is the sole owner of the entire lessor’s interest in each Lease; (ix) intentionally deleted; (x) to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no Person has any possessory interest in, or right to occupy, the Property except under the terms of the Lease; and (xi) each Lease is subordinate to the Loan Documents pursuant to its terms. None of the Leases contains any option to purchase or right of first refusal to purchase the Property or any part thereof. Neither the Leases nor the Rents have been assigned or pledged except to Lender, and no other Person has any interest therein except the tenants thereunder. To Borrower’s knowledge, no tenant has made an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or is subject to any federal or state bankruptcy or reorganization arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law or any similar federal or state law, or any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of such tenant.

 

4.17     FRAUDULENT TRANSFER. Borrower has not entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

 

4.18     OWNERSHIP OF BORROWER. The membership interests in Borrower are owned free and clear of all Liens, warrants, options and rights to purchase. Borrower has no obligation to any Person to purchase, repurchase or issue any ownership interest in it. The organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule 4 is complete and accurate.

 

4.19     MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. The Management Agreement is in full force and effect. There is no default, breach or violation existing thereunder, and no event has occurred (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default, breach or violation thereunder, by either party thereto.

 

25

 

 

4.20     HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Except as expressly disclosed in the environmental reports provided to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan: (i) the Property is not in violation of any Legal Requirement pertaining to or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning environmental regulation, contamination or clean-up, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986, the Hazardous Substances Transportation Act, the Solid Waste Disposal Act, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the Toxic Substance Control Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, any Legal Requirements relating to Toxic Mold, any state super-lien and environmental clean-up statutes, any local law requiring related permits and licenses, any common law relating to Toxic Mold or other Hazardous Substances, and all amendments to and regulations in respect of the foregoing laws (collectively, “Environmental Laws”); (ii) the Property is not subject to any private or governmental Lien or judicial or administrative notice or action or inquiry, investigation or claim relating to hazardous, toxic and/or dangerous substances, including Toxic Mold, or any other substances or materials which are included under or regulated by Environmental Laws (collectively, “Hazardous Substances”); (iii) to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, after due inquiry, no Hazardous Substances, other than substances of kinds and in amounts ordinarily and customarily used or stored in similar properties for the purposes of cleaning or other maintenance or operations by tenants in the ordinary course of each such tenant’s business in compliance with all Environmental Laws, are or have been (including the period prior to Borrower’s acquisition of the Property), discharged, generated, treated, disposed of or stored on, incorporated in, or removed or transported from the Property other than in compliance with all Environmental Laws; (iv) to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, after due inquiry, no Hazardous Substances are present in, on or under any nearby real property which could migrate to or otherwise affect the Property; (v) no underground storage tanks exist on the Property and the Property has never been used as a landfill; and (vi) there have been no environmental investigations, studies, audits, reviews or other analyses conducted by or on behalf of Borrower which have not been provided to Lender.

 

4.21     NAME; PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS. Borrower does not use and will not use any trade name and has not done and will not do business under any name other than its actual name set forth herein. The principal place of business of Borrower is its primary address for notices as set forth in Section 6.1, and Borrower has no other place of business.

 

4.22     OTHER DEBT. There is no indebtedness with respect to the Property or any indebtedness secured by excess cash flow from, or any residual interest therein, relating to the Property, whether secured or unsecured, other than Permitted Encumbrances and Permitted Indebtedness.

 

4.23     EMBARGOED PERSON. None of the funds or assets of any Guarantor or of Borrower constitute property of, or are beneficially owned directly or, to Borrower’s best knowledge, indirectly, by any Embargoed Person (as hereinafter defined) and (b) no Embargoed Person has any direct interest, and to Borrower’s best knowledge, as of the date hereof indirect interest, of any nature whatsoever in Borrower or any Guarantor, as applicable, with the result that the investment in Borrower or any Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the Loan is in violation of law.

 

26

 

 

4.24     ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING. None of the funds of Borrower, SPE Party or any Guarantor, as applicable, that are used to consummate this transaction are derived from or are the proceeds of any unlawful activity, with the result that the investment in Borrower, SPE Party or any Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the Loan is in violation of law or may cause any of the Property to be subject to forfeiture or seizure. Borrower has ascertained the identity of all persons and entities who have provided funds to capitalize Borrower and has conducted verification procedures which are sufficient to establish the identity and source of such funds.

 

4.25     EQUITY INVESTMENT. As of the date hereof, Borrower, collectively, has invested no less than $13,500,000.00 of cash in all of the Property.

 

All of the representations and warranties in this Article 4 and elsewhere in the Loan Documents (i) shall survive for so long as any portion of the Debt remains owing to Lender and (ii) shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf, provided, however, that the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Section 4.20 shall survive in perpetuity.

 

5.     COVENANTS

 

Until the end of the Term, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:

Each of Borrower and SPE Party shall (i) do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, and franchises, (ii) continue to engage in the business presently conducted by it, (iii) obtain and maintain all Licenses, and (iv) qualify to do business and remain in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction, in each case as and to the extent required for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the Property.

 

5.2     TAXES. Borrower shall pay all Taxes and Other Charges as the same become due and payable, and deliver to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid no later than thirty (30) days before they would be delinquent if not paid (provided, however, that Borrower need not pay such Taxes or Other Charges, nor furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes and Other Charges paid by Lender pursuant to Section 3.3).

5.34     RIGHT TO PARTIAL RELEASE.

 

(a)     Right to Partial Release. Following the first to occur of (1) the first Secondary Market Transaction of the Loan or (2) the second anniversary of the date hereof, Borrower shall have the right to obtain a partial release (“Partial Release”) of a Partial Release Property from the applicable Security Instrument, Assignment of Leases and Rents and related UCC financing statements upon satisfaction of the conditions to a Partial Release set forth in this Section 5.34.

(iii)     As of the Partial Release Date, and after giving effect to the Partial Release, the Loan-to-Value Ratio of the remaining Property is equal to or less than 75%, as determined by Lender in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion; provided that Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Principal in an amount necessary to achieve the Loan-to-Value Ratio required hereunder, subject to the payment of any applicable Yield Maintenance Premium and Exit Fee which may be required in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.4.3 of this Agreement;

 

(iv)     As of the Partial Release Date, and after giving effect to the Partial Release, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio of the remaining Property is equal to or greater than the greater of (A) 1.25:1 and (B) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio immediately prior to the Partial Release Date, as determined by Lender in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion; provided that Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Principal in an amount necessary to achieve the Debt Service Coverage Ratio required hereunder, subject to the payment of any applicable Yield Maintenance Premium and Exit Fee which may be required in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.4.3 of this Agreement;

 

(v)     As of the Partial Release Date, and after giving effect to the Partial Release, the Debt Yield is equal to or greater than the greater of (A) 9.50% and (B) the Debt Yield immediately prior to the Partial Release Date, as determined by Lender in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion; provided that Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Principal in an amount necessary to achieve the Debt Yield required hereunder, subject to the payment of any applicable Yield Maintenance Premium and Exit Fee which may be required in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.4.3 of this Agreement;

 

(vi)     The Property remaining after the Partial Release continues to be in compliance with all Legal Requirements (including, without limitation, all zoning and subdivision laws, setback requirements, parking ratio requirements and use requirements);

 

(vii)     Borrower has delivered to Lender forms of all documents necessary to release the Partial Release Property from the liens created by the applicable Security Instrument, Assignment of Leases and Rents and related UCC financing statements, each in appropriate form required by the state in which the Partial Release Property is located and otherwise satisfactory to Lender in all respects;

 

41

 

 

(viii)     If required by Lender, Borrower has delivered to Lender written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that the Partial Release will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings assigned to any Securities or the proposed rating of any Securities;

 

(ix)     Borrower has delivered a certificate certifying that the requirements set forth in this Section 5.34 have been satisfied;

 

(x)     Borrower has paid all amounts then due and unpaid under the Loan Documents through and including amounts due on the Partial Release Date and in connection with the Partial Release;

 

(xi)     Lender shall have received a copy of a deed conveying all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Partial Release Property to an entity other than Borrower and SPE Party and a letter from Borrower countersigned by a title insurance company acknowledging receipt of such deed and agreeing to record such deed in the real estate records of the appropriate recording office in which the Partial Release Property is located; and

 

(xii)     As of the Partial Release Date, and, after giving effect to the Partial Release, Lender shall have received evidence from Borrower indicating that Borrower and SPE Party no longer hold any interest in the owner of the Partial Release Property.

 

(b)     Reimbursement of Lender Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with reviewing and documenting such Partial Release (including, without limitation, the costs of obtaining confirmations of the Rating Agencies if required by Lender), which amounts must be paid by Borrower whether or not the proposed Partial Release is approved or executed. Upon Borrower’s failure to pay such amounts, and in addition to Lender’s remedies for Borrower’s failure to perform, the unpaid amounts shall be added to principal, shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid in full and payment of such amounts shall be secured by the Security Instrument and other collateral given to secure the Loan.

 

(c)     Liens of Security Instrument Otherwise Unaffected. No Partial Release granted by Lender shall, in any way, impair or affect the lien or priority of any Security Instrument relating to the portion of the Property not included in the Partial Release or improve the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Lender for such Partial Release. The Security Instruments shall continue as a Lien and security interest on the portion of the Property not included in a Partial Release.

 

(d)     REMIC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, if the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a Partial Release pursuant to this Section 5.34, the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining Property is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust, based solely on real property and excluding any personal property and going concern value, if any), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by an amount equal to the least of the following amounts: (i) the fair market value of the Partial Release Property at the time of the release, or (ii) an amount such that the loan to value ratio of the Loan (as so determined by Lender) does not increase after the release, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the applicable securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the Partial Release.

 

42

 

 

5.35     MVB BANK AND EAGLEBANK.

 

(a)     Borrower shall, or shall cause Guarantor to, forward to Lender, within five (5) Business Days after receipt, a true and complete copy of any notice of default given under the MVB Bank Loan Documents or the EagleBank Loan Documents with respect to the MVB Bank Borrower or Michael Jacoby, as the case may be, or any Affiliate thereof.

 

(b)     Borrower shall, or shall cause Guarantor to, deliver to Lender a true and complete copy of the compliance certificate required to be given to MVB Bank under the MVB Bank Loan Documents concurrently with the delivery thereof to MVB Bank.

If either loan evidenced by the MVB Bank Loan Documents or the EagleBank Loan Documents is refinanced or replaced, the collateral therefor may not include a security interest in Michael Jacoby’s ownership interests in Borrower, Broad Street Realty Inc. or Broad Street Operating Partnership, L.P. or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing entities without the prior written consent of Lender.

Such insurance policy shall also insure for ordinance or law coverage, coverage for loss of value to the undamaged portion of the Improvements, demolition and increased cost of construction (which insurance for demolition and increased cost of construction may contain a sub-limit satisfactory to Lender). Each such insurance policy shall (i) be in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the then replacement cost of the Improvements without deduction for physical depreciation, (ii) have deductibles no greater than $25,000 per occurrence, except as approved for Named Storm coverage, which shall be subject to a deductible no greater than five percent (5%) of the total insurable value of the Property, (iii) be paid annually in advance and (iv) be written on a replacement cost basis and contain either no coinsurance or, if coinsurance, an agreed amount endorsement, and shall cover, without limitation, all tenant improvements and betterments that Borrower is required to insure on a replacement cost basis. The insurance policies required under this subparagraph shall be endorsed to also provide guaranteed building replacement cost to the Improvements and such tenant improvements in an amount to be subject to the consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(b)     Flood insurance if any part of the Property is located in an area now or hereafter designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a Zone “A” & “V” Special Flood Hazard Area, or such other Flood Zone if Lender so requires in its sole discretion. Such policy shall (i) be in an amount equal to (A) the maximum amount of building and, if applicable, contents coverage available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended (collectively, the “Flood Insurance Acts”), plus (B) such additional or excess flood coverage as reasonably required by Lender and (ii) have a maximum permissible deductible of $5,000 per building or otherwise acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion.

Liquor Liability, Automobile Liability and Garage Keepers Liability, or any other liability coverage deemed appropriate given the Property type and exposure, may be required at the discretion of the Lender.

 

(d)     Rental loss and/or business interruption insurance (i) with loss payable to Lender, (ii) in an amount equal to 100% of the projected Gross Revenue and/or Rents for a period of at least twelve (12) months. The period of indemnification shall include the initial period of restoration, the period of time required to rebuild the Property following a casualty, and a six (6) month extended period of indemnity which provides that after the physical loss to the Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or until the limit for such coverage as required above is exhausted, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. In no event shall the period of indemnification, including the extended period of indemnity, be less than eighteen (18) months. The amount of such insurance shall be increased from time to time during the Term as and when the estimated or actual Rents increase.

 

(e)     Comprehensive boiler and machinery/equipment breakdown insurance covering all mechanical and electrical equipment against physical damage, rent loss and improvements loss and covering, without limitation, all boilers or pressure vessels and all tenant improvements and betterments that Borrower is required to insure pursuant to the lease on a replacement cost basis (if applicable).

(h)     Coverage to compensate for ordinance or law, if at any time the Property is deemed to be legal non-conforming use or structure, covering loss to the undamaged portion of the Improvements (with limits no less than 100% full replacement cost), and the cost of demolition and the increased cost of construction in amounts satisfactory to Lender.

 

(i)     Such other insurance (including environmental insurance and earthquake insurance) as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in order to protect its interests.

 

(j)     Notwithstanding anything in subsection (a) and (d) above to the contrary, Borrower shall be required to obtain and maintain coverage in its property insurance Policy and its liability insurance Policies (or by a separate Policy) against loss or damage by terrorist acts, both foreign and domestic, in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost” of the Property plus the rental loss and/or business interruption coverage required in subsection (d) above; provided that such coverage is available. In the event that such coverage with respect to terrorist acts is not included as part of the “all risk” property policy required by subsection (a) and (d) above, Borrower shall, nevertheless be required to obtain coverage for terrorism (as stand-alone coverage) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost” of the Property plus the rental loss and/or business interruption coverage under clause (d) above; provided that such coverage is available.

For so long as the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 or any subsequent statute, reauthorization or extension thereof (collectively, “TRIPRA”) is in effect and continues to cover both foreign and domestic acts, Lender shall accept terrorism insurance with coverage against acts which are “certified” within the meaning of TRIPRA.

 

49

 

 

7.1.2     POLICIES. All policies of insurance (the “Policies”) required pursuant to Section 7.1.1 above shall (i) be issued by companies approved by Lender and authorized to do business in the State, with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency), and a rating of “A:VIII” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports; (ii) name Lender and its successors and/or assigns as their interest may appear as the mortgagee and loss payee (in the case of property and rental loss and/or business income insurance) and an additional insured (in the case of liability insurance); (iii) contain (in the case of property insurance) a Non-Contributory Standard Mortgagee Clause/Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement, or their equivalents, naming Lender as the person to which all payments made by such insurance company shall be paid; (iv) contain a waiver of subrogation on both the Property and Liability Policies in favor of Lender; (v) complete copies thereof delivered to Lender; (vi) contain such provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest, including (A) endorsements providing that neither Borrower, Lender nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under the Policies, (B) that Lender shall receive at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any cancellation of any of the Policies, provided, however, if cancellation is by reason of non-payment of premiums, then Lender shall receive at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of same, (C) an agreement whereby the insurer waives any right to claim any premiums and commissions against Lender, provided that the policy need not waive the requirement that the premium be paid in order for a claim to be paid to the insured and (D) providing that Lender is permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such policy upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of premiums; (vii) the Non-Contributory Standard Mortgagee Clause/Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement, or its equivalent, shall provide that with respect to the interest of Lender, such insurance policy shall not be invalidated by and shall insure Lender regardless of (A) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policy by any named insured, (B) the occupancy or use of the premises for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof, or (C) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Lender pursuant to any provision of the Loan Documents; and (viii) be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and approved by Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Borrower shall pay the premiums for such Policies (the “Insurance Premiums”) as the same become due and payable and furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies together with (unless such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof) receipts for or other evidence of the payment of the Insurance Premiums reasonably satisfactory to Lender. If Borrower does not furnish such evidence and receipts at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any expiring Policy, then Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand, with interest accruing at the Default Rate. Borrower shall deliver to Lender a complete copy of each Policy within thirty (30) days after its effective date, or if such Policy has not yet been issued, insurance binders, to be followed by complete copies of such Policies upon issuance thereof. Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like.

 

7.1.3     BLANKET COVERAGE. Borrower may provide any required insurance under a blanket policy or policies covering the Property and Improvements and other property and assets not part of the Property, provided that Lender is provided a full schedule of locations and values for all properties on such blanket policy and such blanket policy: (a) otherwise complies with the requirements set forth in Sections 7.1.1 and 7.1.2; (b) except in the case of Liability Insurance, specifies how much coverage and which sub limits apply exclusively to the Improvements and that any allocated coverage shall equal or exceed the coverage amounts specified in the above Section 7.1.1; (c) must properly identify and fully protect the Property as if a separate policy were issued for 100% of the replacement cost, with sub limits as permitted herein, at the time of loss.

 

7.1.4     NO SEPARATE INSURANCE. Borrower shall not carry separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss, with any of the Policies. Borrower may, however, carry insurance for the Improvements, in addition to the Policies, but only if such additional insurance: (a) does not violate or entitle the carrier to assert any defense or disclaim any primary coverage under any of the Policies; (b) mutually benefits Borrower and Lender, as their interests may appear; and (c) otherwise complies with the terms of this Agreement.

 

50

 

 

7.1.5     TRANSFERS. In the event of foreclosure of the Security Instrument or other transfer of title to the Property and Improvements in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, and regardless of whether Lender shall have sought a deficiency judgment with respect thereto, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket policies then in force concerning the Property and Improvements and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or its designee in the event of such other transfer of title.

 

7.2     CASUALTY.

 

7.2.1     NOTICE; RESTORATION. If the Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction.

 

7.2.2     SETTLEMENT OF PROCEEDS. If a Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an “Insured Casualty”) occurs where the loss does not exceed $250,000, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust any claim without the prior consent of Lender; provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receive the insurance proceeds (the “Proceeds”). In the event of an Insured Casualty where the loss equals or exceeds $250,000 (a “Significant Casualty”), Lender may, in its sole discretion, settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower and agree with the insurer(s) on the amount to be paid on the loss, and the Proceeds shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disbursed in accordance herewith. If Borrower or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing Proceeds with respect to a Significant Casualty, Borrower shall immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse such check payable to the order of Lender. The expenses incurred by Lender in the settlement, adjustment and collection of the Proceeds shall become part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance carrier makes a payment under a property insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance carrier as to the purpose of such payment, as between Lender and Borrower, such payment shall not be treated as business or rental interruption insurance proceeds unless Borrower has demonstrated to Lender’s satisfaction that the remaining net Proceeds that will be received from the property insurance carriers are sufficient to pay 100% of the cost of fully restoring the Improvements or, if such net Proceeds are to be applied to repay the Debt in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining net Proceeds will be sufficient to pay the Debt in full.

 

51

 

 

7.3     CONDEMNATION.

 

7.3.1     NOTICE; RESTORATION. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting the Property (a “Condemnation”) and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether an Award is available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character (and to have the same utility) as prior to such Condemnation.

 

7.3.2     COLLECTION OF AWARD. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any award or payment in respect of a Condemnation (an “Award”) and to make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation. Notwithstanding any Condemnation (or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such Condemnation), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Loan Documents, and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided in the Note. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive all or a portion of the Award sufficient to pay the Debt. Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be paid directly to Lender. Lender shall hold such Award in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disburse such Award in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

7.4     APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OR AWARD.

 

7.4.1     APPLICATION TO RESTORATION. If an Insured Casualty or Condemnation occurs where (i) the loss is in an aggregate amount less than fifteen percent (15%) of the unpaid Principal; (ii) in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the Property can be restored within six (6) months, and prior to six (6) months before the Stated Maturity Date and prior to the expiration of the rental or business interruption insurance with respect thereto, to the Property’s pre-existing condition and utility as existed immediately prior to such Insured Casualty or Condemnation and to an economic unit not less valuable and not less useful than the same was immediately prior to the Insured Casualty or Condemnation, and after such restoration will adequately secure the Debt; (iii) less than (x) thirty-five percent (35%), in the case of an Insured Casualty or (y) fifteen percent (15%), in the case of a Condemnation, of the rentable area of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Insured Casualty or Condemnation; (iv) Leases demising in the aggregate at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the total rentable space in the Property and in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Insured Casualty or Condemnation remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration (hereinafter defined); and (v) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, (vi) the REMIC Test shall be satisfied, and (vii) after completion of the restoration the Debt Yield is at least 6.5% if the Casualty occurs in the Initial Term or the first Extension Term and 6.75% if the Casualty occurs in the second Extension Term, then the Proceeds or the Award, as the case may be (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender), shall be applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property (the “Restoration”), in the manner set forth herein. Borrower shall commence and diligently prosecute such Restoration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lender be obligated to apply the Proceeds or Award to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration unless, in addition to satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, both (x) Borrower shall pay (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit with Lender in advance) all costs of such Restoration in excess of the net amount of the Proceeds or the Award made available pursuant to the terms hereof; and (y) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that during the period of the Restoration, the Rents will be at least equal to the sum of the operating expenses and Debt Service and other reserve payments required hereunder, as reasonably determined by Lender.

 

52

 

 

7.4.2     APPLICATION TO DEBT. Except as provided in Section 7.4.1, any Proceeds and/or Award may, at the option of Lender in its discretion, be applied to the payment of (i) accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, (ii) the unpaid Principal and (iii) other charges due under the Note and/or any of the other Loan Documents, or applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of any Restoration, in the manner set forth in Section 7.4.3. Any such prepayment of the Loan shall be subject to the Exit Fee, but shall otherwise be without any Yield Maintenance Premium, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the Proceeds are received from the insurance company or the Award is received from the condemning authority, as the case may be, in which event Borrower shall pay to Lender an additional amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that may be required with respect to the amount of the Proceeds or Award applied to the unpaid Principal on or prior to the Yield Maintenance Date.

 

7.4.3     PROCEDURE FOR APPLICATION TO RESTORATION. If Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of the Proceeds or an Award held by Lender, such Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed from time to time from the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount upon Lender being furnished with (i) evidence satisfactory to Lender of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration, (ii) a fixed price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contract for Restoration satisfactory to Lender, (iii) prior to the commencement of Restoration, all immediately available funds in addition to the Proceeds or Award that in Lender’s judgment are required to complete the proposed Restoration, (iv) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey, permits, approvals, licenses and such other documents and items as Lender may reasonably require and approve in Lender’s discretion, and (v) all plans and specifications for such Restoration, such plans and specifications to be approved by Lender prior to commencement of any work. Lender may, at Borrower’s expense, retain a consultant to review and approve all requests for disbursements, which approval shall also be a condition precedent to any disbursement. No payment made prior to the final completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than the Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Proceeds or Award; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such Proceeds or Award remaining in the hands of Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear of all Liens or claims for Lien. Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, any surplus that remains out of the Proceeds held by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall be paid to Borrower. Any surplus that remains out of the Award received by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall, in the discretion of Lender, be retained by Lender and applied to payment of the Debt or returned to Borrower.

8.2     REMEDIES.

 

8.2.1     ACCELERATION. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Sections 8.1 (f) and (g)) and at any time and from time to time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property; including declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium (if the Maturity Date is accelerated to a date on or prior to the Yield Maintenance Date), the Exit Fee and any other amounts owing by Borrower), without notice or demand; and upon any Event of Default described in Sections 8.1(f) or (g), the Debt (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium (if applicable), Exit Fee and any other amounts owing by Borrower) shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

8.2.2     REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared, or be automatically, due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property, the Security Instrument has been foreclosed, the Property has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. To the extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the entire Property or any part thereof, in its discretion.

 

8.2.3     SEVERANCE. Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (and, in connection therewith, to bifurcate or otherwise modify the nature of the collateral that secures such notes) in such denominations and priorities of payment and liens as Lender shall determine in its discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such severance, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof.

 

56

 

 

8.2.4     DELAY. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender shall impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Security Instrument to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of the Property, the Rents, the Accounts or any other collateral.

 

8.2.5     LENDER’S RIGHT TO PERFORM. If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Security Instrument and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which no Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower. Without limiting any of the other provisions contained herein, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable law, any rights it may have to claim or recover against Lender in any legal action or proceeding any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

 

10.13     REMEDIES OF BORROWER. If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or any of its agents, including Servicer, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents, including Servicer, shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be to commence an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Borrower specifically waives any claim against Lender and its agents, including Servicer, with respect to actions taken by Lender or its agents on Borrower’s behalf.

 

69

 

 

10.14     PRIOR AGREEMENTS. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

10.15     OFFSETS, COUNTERCLAIMS AND DEFENSES. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents, including Servicer, or otherwise offset any obligations to make payments required under the Loan Documents. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which Borrower may otherwise have (including with respect to any Future Funding Obligation or any default or dispute relating thereto) against any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to interpose or assert any such offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

 

10.16     PUBLICITY. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public, which refers to the Loan Documents, the Loan, Lender or any member of the Lender Group, a Loan purchaser, the Servicer or the trustee in a Secondary Market Transaction, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s prior written approval shall not be required with respect to any regulatory filings with state and/or federal securities regulatory Governmental Authorities (e.g., Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K), as long as the descriptions of the Loan Documents, the Loan, Lender or any member of the Lender Group (to the extent applicable) are substantially the same as those descriptions set forth in the Form 8-K of Broad Street Realty, Inc. dated on or about the date hereof, a copy of which has been approved by Lender. Except to the extent required under any applicable Legal Requirement, any modifications to the descriptions of the Loan Documents, the Loan, Lender or any member of the Lender Group (to the extent applicable) which cause such descriptions not to be substantially the same as those descriptions set forth in the Form 8-K of Broad Street Realty, Inc. dated on or about the date hereof, shall be subject to Lender’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Lender shall have the right to issue any of the foregoing without Borrower’s approval.

 

70

 

 

10.17     NO USURY. Borrower and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section 10.17 shall control every other agreement in the Loan Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited against the unpaid Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

 

10.18     CONFLICT; CONSTRUCTION OF DOCUMENTS. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that each is represented by separate counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted them.

 

10.19     NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than the Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.

 

10.20     YIELD MAINTENANCE PREMIUM. Borrower acknowledges that (a) Lender is making the Loan in consideration of the receipt by Lender of all interest and other benefits intended to be conferred by the Loan Documents and (b) if payments of Principal are made (or, in the event of acceleration of the Maturity Date, required to be made) to Lender on or prior to the Yield Maintenance Date, for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary, as a result of Lender’s acceleration of the Loan after an Event of Default, by operation of law or otherwise, Lender will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may, in addition, incur costs. For these reasons, and to induce Lender to make the Loan, Borrower agrees that, except as expressly provided in Section 7.4.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement, all such prepayments, if any, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be accompanied by the Yield Maintenance Premium. Such Yield Maintenance Premium shall be required whether payment is made by Borrower, by a Person on behalf of Borrower, or by the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lender at such sale. Borrower further acknowledges that (A) it is a knowledgeable real estate developer and/or investor; (B) it fully understands the effect of the provisions of this Section 10.20, as well as the other provisions of the Loan Documents; (C) the making of the Loan by Lender at the Interest Rate and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient consideration for Borrower’s obligation to pay a Yield Maintenance Premium (if required); and (D) Lender would not make the Loan on the terms set forth herein without the inclusion of such provisions. Borrower also acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium and other charges specified herein were independently negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific material part of the consideration given by Borrower to Lender for the making of the Loan except as expressly permitted hereunder.

 

71

 

 

10.21     ASSIGNMENT. The Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be assigned, pledged, delegated, participated or otherwise transferred by Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person without Borrower’s or Guarantor’s consent at any time in its discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise. Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Loan Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender. Borrower may not assign and/or delegate, as applicable, its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Loan Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.

 

10.22     SET-OFF. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Loan Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

 

10.23     COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

 

10.24     RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER TO REFINANCE LOAN. In the event that Borrower intends to refinance all or any portion of the Property, Borrower shall provide written notice to Lender of such intent, which written notice shall identify the material terms on which Borrower intends to so refinance the Property (the “Refinance Notice”). Lender shall have the right to elect to provide such refinancing by delivering to Borrower within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Refinance Notice written notice of such election (the “Election Notice”). Following such election, Lender and Borrower shall negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions of such refinancing and shall endeavor to execute a term sheet with respect thereto within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s delivery of the Election Notice to Borrower. In the event that Lender elects not to deliver the Election Notice or Borrower and Lender are not able to agree on the terms and conditions of Borrower’s refinancing of the Property and execute a term sheet within the applicable time periods set forth herein, Borrower shall be free to consummate the refinancing of the Property at any time.

 

72

 

 

10.25     PROOFS OF CLAIM. In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Borrower, SPE Party or Guarantor, or any of their respective creditors or property, Lender, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lender allowed in such proceedings for the entire Debt at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable by Borrower hereunder after such date.

 

10.26     WAIVER OF STAY. Borrower agrees (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury or other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit or forgive Borrower from paying all or any portion of the Debt or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement; and Borrower (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the holders, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
