In connection with any such Conversion, a Lender may (at its sole discretion) transfer a Loan from one Applicable Lending Office to another.

(b) during such periods as such Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, for each Interest Period relating thereto, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Loan for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

 

32


 

(2) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) monthly in arrears on each Payment Date and (ii) in the case of any Loan, upon the payment or prepayment thereof or the Conversion of such Loan to a Loan of another Type (but only on the principal amount so paid, prepaid or Converted), except that interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand.
(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after the Maturity Date and during any period when an Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest at the applicable Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender, any interest payments thereon not paid when due and on any other amount payable by Borrower hereunder, under the Notes and any other Loan Documents.
(4) Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such interest is payable and to Borrower, but the failure of the Administrative Agent to provide such notice shall not affect Borrower’s obligation for the payment of interest on the Loans.
(5) In addition to any sums due under this Section 2.3, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders a late payment premium in the amount of five percent (5%) of (i) any payments of principal under the Loans made and payable after the due date thereof (other than the repayment of the outstanding principal balance on the Maturity Date), and (ii) any payments of interest or other sums under the Loans made more than ten (10) days after the due date thereof, which late payment premium shall be due with any such late payment or upon demand by the Administrative Agent.

Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to collect any other amounts provided herein or in the other Loan Documents to be paid or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

Loans that are prepaid cannot be reborrowed. After giving notice of prepayment as provided in Section 2.8(5), but prior to the date specified in any such notice of prepayment, such notice may be revoked by Borrower as long as Borrower pays within one (1) Business Day after notification from the Administrative Agent any amounts payable to a Lender pursuant to Section 2.9(5) as a result of any action taken by such Lender in reliance of such notice of prepayment. In addition, in the event the specified Loans subject to the prepayment revocation are Eurodollar Loans, such Eurodollar Loans may, at the Administrative Agent’s option, be converted to Base Rate Loans for the balance of the then current Interest Period.
(4) Mandatory Prepayments. In the event that the Mortgage Loan is repaid in full prior to the Maturity Date, commencing upon the first Payment Date following such repayment and on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall pay to Lender one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Operating Cash Flow (“Mandatory Net Operating Cash Flow Installments”) for the immediately preceding month. In addition, Borrower shall also make mandatory prepayments of principal as are required pursuant to Sections 14.4 and Section 14.5.

If the Loans are prepaid, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 2.4(3) or 2.4(4), each such prepayment shall be made on the prepayment date specified in the notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.8(5), and (in every case) together with (a) the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount prepaid, (b) the Exit Fee, (c) any amounts payable to a Lender pursuant to Section 2.9(5) as a result of such prepayment while an Adjusted LIBOR Rate is in effect, and (d) any early termination amounts due under any Hedge Agreement; provided, however, that any such prepayment shall be applied first, to the prepayment of any portions of the outstanding principal amount that are Base Rate Loans and, second, to the prepayment of any portions of the outstanding principal amount that are Eurodollar Loans applying such sums first to Eurodollar Loans of the shortest maturity so as to minimize breakage costs; provided further, however, that if an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may distribute such payment to the Lenders for application in such manner as it or the Majority Lenders, subject to Section 2.8(2), may determine to be appropriate.
(6) Application of Payments. All payments received by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents shall be applied: first, to any fees and expenses due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents; second, to any Default Rate interest or late charges; third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans; and fourth, to the principal sum in accordance with Section 2.4(5) above and other amounts due under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, if an Event of Default exists the Administrative Agent may apply such payments in any order or manner as the Administrative Agent shall determine.

On each date on which Administrative Agent actually receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service shall be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Notes in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, together with interest that would have accrued on such amount through the next Payment Date and all other sums then due; provided, however, that so in the event Administrative Agent receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service on a date other than a Payment Date and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if Borrower so requests in writing, such amounts shall be held by Administrative Agent as collateral security for the Loans in an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Administrative Agent on the next Payment Date. Borrower shall immediately notify Administrative Agent of any Liquidation Event once Borrower has knowledge of such event. Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of (i) a sale (other than a foreclosure sale) of the Project on the date on which a contract of sale for such sale is entered into, and a foreclosure sale, on the date notice of such foreclosure sale is given, and (ii) a refinancing of the Project, on the date on which a commitment for such refinancing is entered into.

(3) In the event Mortgage Lender waives the requirement of Mortgage Borrower to maintain the Clearing Account and Cash Management Account or the Mortgage Loan has been repaid in full, Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) shall have the right to require Borrower to establish and maintain a cash management account that would operate in the same way as the Clearing Account and Cash Management Account.

(c) Forwarding of Payments by Administrative Agent. Except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, each payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any Note for account of any Lender shall be paid by the Administrative Agent promptly to such Lender, in immediately available funds, for account of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office for the Loan or other obligation in respect of which such payment is made.
(d) Extensions to Next Business Day. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any Note would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension.
(2) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each advance of a Loan from the Lenders under Section 2.1(2) shall be made from the Lenders, and any termination of the obligation to make an advance of the Loans shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.9(4), Loans shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans (in the case of Conversions or Continuations of Loans); (c) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans by Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; and (d) each payment of interest on Loans by Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum amount of $1,000,000 shall not apply to Conversions of lesser amounts into a Type of Loan that has (or will have upon such Conversion) an aggregate principal amount exceeding such minimum amount and a duration of at least one Interest Period. The initial borrowing hereunder shall be an aggregate amount at least equal to $500,000.
(5) Certain Notices. Notices by Borrower to the Administrative Agent regarding Loan Transactions and the selection of Types of Loans and/or of the duration of Interest Periods shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the number of Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Loan Transaction or the first day of such Interest Period specified below:
         
    Number of Business  
Notice   Days Prior  
 
       
Optional Prepayment
    3  
Conversions into, Continuations as, or borrowings in Base Rate Loans
    3  
Conversions into, Continuations as, borrowings in or changes in duration of Interest Period for, Eurodollar Loans (subject to Section 2.4(6))
    3  
Each such notice of a Loan Transaction shall specify the amount (subject to Section 2.8(4)), Type, and Interest Period of such proposed Loan Transaction, and the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such proposed Loan Transaction. Notices for Conversions and Continuations shall be in the form of Exhibit E. Each such notice specifying the duration of an Interest Period shall specify the portion of the Loans to which such Interest Period is to relate.

43


 

(6) Non Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or Borrower (in either case, the “Payor”) prior to the date on which the Payor is to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (in the case of a Lender) the proceeds of a Loan to be made by such Lender hereunder or (in the case of Borrower) a payment to the Administrative Agent for account of any Lender hereunder (in either case, such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient(s) on such date; and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient(s) of such payment shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date (the “Advance Date”) such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (a) the Prime Rate for such day in the case of payments returned to the Administrative Agent by any of the Lenders or (b) the applicable interest rate due hereunder with respect to payments returned by Borrower to the Administrative Agent and, if such recipient(s) shall fail promptly to make such payment, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount, on demand, from the Payor, together with interest as aforesaid; provided that if neither the recipient(s) nor the Payor shall return the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent within three (3) Business Days of the Advance Date, then, retroactively to the Advance Date, the Payor and the recipient(s) shall each be obligated to pay interest on the Required Payment as follows:
(a) if the Required Payment shall represent a payment to be made by Borrower to the Lenders, Borrower and the recipient(s) shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment at the Default Rate (without duplication of the obligation of Borrower under Section 2.3 to pay interest on the Required Payment at the Default Rate), it being understood that the return by the recipient(s) of the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent shall not limit such obligation of Borrower under Section 2.3 to pay interest at the Default Rate in respect of the Required Payment, and
(b) if the Required Payment shall represent proceeds of a Loan to be made by the Lenders to Borrower, the Payor and Borrower shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment pursuant to whichever of the rates specified in Section 2.3 is applicable to the Type of such Loan, it being understood that the return by Borrower of the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent shall not limit any claim Borrower may have against the Payor in respect of such Required Payment.
(7) Sharing of Payments, Etc.
(a) Right of Set off. Borrower agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of set off, banker’s lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have, (subject, as among the Lenders, to Section 12.26), each Lender shall be entitled, at its option (to the fullest extent permitted by law), to set off and apply any deposit (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), or other indebtedness, held by it for the credit or account of Borrower at any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any of such Lender’s Loans or any other amount payable to such Lender hereunder, that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such deposit or other indebtedness is then due to such Borrower), in which case it shall promptly notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof, provided that such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.

 

44


 

(b) Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain from Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any other Loan Document through the exercise (subject, as among the Lenders, to Section 12.26) of any right of set off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from the Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received a greater percentage of the principal of or interest on the Loans or such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by Borrower to such Lender than the percentage received by any other Lender, it shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to each of the Lenders. To such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.
(c) Consent by Borrower. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation (or direct interest) may exercise (subject, as among the Lenders, to Section 12.26) all rights of set off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.
(d) Rights of Lenders; Bankruptcy. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of Borrower. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set off to which this Section 2.8(7) applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 2.8(7) to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

 

45


 

Section 2.9 Yield Protection; Etc.
(1) Additional Costs.
(a) Costs of Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Loans. Borrower shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs that such Lender determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make any Eurodollar Loans hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any of such Eurodollar Loans or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that:
(i) shall subject any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office for any of such Loans) to any tax, duty or other charge in respect of such Loans or its Note or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or its Note in respect of any of such Loans (excluding changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or of such Applicable Lending Office by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Applicable Lending Office); or
(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than the Reserve Requirement used in the determination of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender (including, without limitation, any of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Rate”), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitment of such Lender hereunder); or
(iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or its Note (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities) or its Commitment.
If any Lender requests compensation from Borrower under this paragraph (a), Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender thereafter to make or Continue Eurodollar Loans, or to Convert Loans into Eurodollar Loans, until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 2.9(4) shall be applicable), provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.
(b) Costs Attributable to Regulatory Change or Risk-Based Capital Guidelines. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9(1) (but without duplication), Borrower shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time on request such amounts as such Lender may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender (or, without duplication, the bank holding company of which such Lender is a subsidiary) for any costs that it reasonably determines are attributable to the maintenance by such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company), pursuant to any law or regulation or any interpretation, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) of any court or governmental or monetary authority (i) following any Regulatory Change or (ii) implementing any risk based capital guideline or other requirement (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not the failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) hereafter issued by any government or governmental or supervisory authority (excluding Basel II and any other law or regulation which implements Basel II, in each case in the form existing on the date of this Agreement), of capital in respect of its Commitment or Loans (such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction of the rate of return on assets or equity of such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company) to a level below that which such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company) could have achieved but for such law, regulation, interpretation, directive or request.

 

46


 

(c) Notification and Certification. Each Lender shall notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date hereof entitling such Lender to compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.9(1) as promptly as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) days, after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that (i) if any Lender fails to give such notice within forty-five (45) days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 2.9(1) in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 2.9(1) for costs incurred from and after the date thirty (30) days prior to the date that such Lender does give such notice and (ii) each Lender will designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans of such Lender affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate an Applicable Lending Office located in the United States of America. Each Lender will furnish to Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Lender for compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.9(1). Determinations and allocations by any Lender for purposes of this Section 2.9(1) of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.9(1), or of the effect of capital maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.9(1), on its costs or rate of return of maintaining Loans or its obligation to make Loans, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the amounts required to compensate such Lender under this Section 2.9(1), shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis.
Borrower shall be obligated to pay compensation to a Lender pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.9(1) only if such Lender is imposing similar compensation requirements on borrowers under commercial loans of the same type and quality as the Loan and which are similarly affected by the Regulatory Change or other guidelines or requirements for which such Lender is seeking compensation from Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.9(1).
(2) Limitation on Types of Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan:
(a) the Administrative Agent determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR Rate are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for Eurodollar Loans as provided herein; or
(b) any Lender determines, which determination shall be conclusive, and notify the Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR Rate upon the basis of which the rate of interest for Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely adequately to cover the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional Eurodollar Loans, to Continue Eurodollar Loans or to Convert Loans of any other Type into Eurodollar Loans, and Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Eurodollar Loans, either prepay such Loans or such Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans.

 

47


 

(3) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans hereunder (and, in the sole opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different Applicable Lending Office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain Eurodollar Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 2.9(4) shall be applicable).
(4) Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make Eurodollar Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(3), such Lender’s Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion resulting from a circumstance described in Section 2.9(3), on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(3) that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:
(a) to the extent that such Lender’s Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(b) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as Eurodollar Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into Eurodollar Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
If such Lender gives notice to Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent that the circumstances specified in Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(3) that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s Loans pursuant to this Section 2.9(4) no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans are allocated among the Lenders ratably (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

 

48


 

(5) Compensation. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender determines is attributable to:
(a) any payment, prepayment or Conversion of a Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights referred to in Article 11) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
(b) any failure by Borrower for any reason to borrow a Eurodollar Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice of borrowing given to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid, Converted or not borrowed for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, Conversion or failure to borrow to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan that would have commenced on the date specified for such borrowing) at the applicable rate of interest for such Loan provided for herein over (ii) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on such principal amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest component of the amount such Lender would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar deposits of leading banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by such Lender), or if such Lender shall cease to make such bids, the equivalent rate, as reasonably determined by such Lender, derived from Page 3750 of the Dow Jones Markets (Telerate) Service or other publicly available source as described in the definition of LIBOR Rate.
(6) U.S. Taxes.
(a) Gross-up for Deduction or Withholding of U.S. Taxes. Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender that is not a U.S. Person such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment of any amount due to such non U.S. Person hereunder after deduction for or withholding in respect of any U.S. Taxes imposed with respect to such payment (or in lieu thereof, payment of such U.S. Taxes by such non U.S. Person), will not be less than the amount stated herein to be then due and payable, provided that the foregoing obligation to pay such additional amounts shall not apply:
(i) to any payment to any Lender hereunder unless such Lender is, on the date hereof (or on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder as provided in Section 12.24(2)) and on the date of any change in the Applicable Lending Office of such Lender, either entitled to submit a Form W-8BEN (relating to such Lender and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding on all interest to be received by it hereunder in respect of the Loans) or Form W-8ECI (relating to all interest to be received by such Lender hereunder in respect of the Loans), or
(ii) to any U.S. Taxes imposed solely by reason of the failure by such non U.S. Person to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United States of America of such non U.S. Person if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States of America as a precondition to relief or exemption from such U.S. Taxes.

(b) Evidence of Deduction, Etc. Within thirty (30) days after paying any amount to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty (30) days after it is required by law to remit such deduction or withholding to any relevant taxing or other authority, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for delivery to such non U.S. Person evidence satisfactory to such Person of such deduction, withholding or payment (as the case may be).
(7) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(6), or any Lender’s obligation to Continue Loans of any Type, or to Convert Loans of any Type into the other Type of Loan, shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.9(2) or 2.9(3) (any such Lender requesting such compensation, or whose obligations are so suspended, being herein called a “Requesting Lender”), Borrower, upon three (3) Business Days notice, may require that such Requesting Lender transfer all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement and such Requesting Lender’s Note to any bank or other financial institution (a “Proposed Lender”) identified by Borrower that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (i) if such Proposed Lender agrees to assume all of the obligations of such Requesting Lender hereunder, and to purchase all of such Requesting Lender’s Loans hereunder for consideration equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Requesting Lender’s Loans, together with interest thereon to the date of such purchase (to the extent not paid by Borrower), and satisfactory arrangements are made for payment to such Requesting Lender of all other amounts accrued and payable hereunder to such Requesting Lender as of the date of such transfer (including any fees accrued hereunder and any amounts that would be payable under Section 2.9(5) as if all of such Requesting Lender’s Loans were being prepaid in full on such date) and (ii) if such Requesting Lender has requested compensation pursuant to Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(6), such Proposed Lender’s aggregate requested compensation, if any, pursuant to Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(6) with respect to such Requesting Lender’s Loans is lower than that of the Requesting Lender. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.24(2), such Proposed Lender shall be a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements of Borrower contained in Sections 2.9(1), 2.9(6) and 12.5 (without duplication of any payments made to such Requesting Lender by Borrower or the Proposed Lender) shall survive for the benefit of such Requesting Lender under this Section 2.9(7) with respect to the time prior to such replacement.

RESERVES
Section 4.1 Interest Reserve Fund.
(1) Deposits. In the event that the Administrative Agent determines from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion that Loans available pursuant to Section 2.1(2)(a) and future Operating Revenues may be insufficient to pay all interest charges due or to be due in connection with the Loans, the Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower in writing of such determination. Within ten (10) Business Days following any such notice, Borrower shall deposit with the Administrative Agent (or, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, the Depository Bank), for deposit with Administrative Agent into an account in Administrative Agent’s name an amount reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent as being necessary to provide an adequate reserve for the payment of such interest charges (the “Interest Reserve Fund”).
(2) Disbursements. Provided that no Event of Default exists (other than a Default or an Event of Default which may be cured by the transfer of amounts credited to the Interest Reserve Fund to Borrower’s account pursuant to this Section 4.1(2)), and provided that there are insufficient Operating Revenues and insufficient Loans available pursuant to Section 2.1(2)(a) from which to pay such interest payments, the Administrative Agent will direct the Depository Bank to transfer (to the extent funds are available therein) amounts credited to the Interest Reserve Fund to Borrower’s account to pay or reimburse Borrower for the payment of any interest payments then due and payable under the Loans. Provided that no Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent shall direct the Depository Bank to make such disbursements as requested by Borrower on a monthly basis within five (5) Business Days following receipt by the Administrative Agent of a written request for disbursement (in a form reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent) executed by an authorized officer of Borrower, which certificate shall certify, among other things, that there are insufficient Operating Revenues and insufficient Loans available pursuant to Section 2.1(2)(a) to pay the interest payments for which such disbursement is being requested.
(3) Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants a perfected first priority security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in the Interest Reserve Fund established by or for it hereunder and all financial assets and other property and sums at any time held, deposited or invested therein, and all security entitlements and investment property relating thereto, together with any interest or other earnings thereon, and all proceeds thereof, whether accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, deposit accounts, instruments, documents or securities (collectively, “Reserve Account Collateral”), together with all rights of a secured party with respect thereto (even if no further documentation is requested by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or executed by Borrower). Borrower covenants and agrees:
(a) to do all acts that may be reasonably necessary to maintain, preserve and protect Reserve Account Collateral;
(b) to pay promptly when due all material taxes, assessments, charges, encumbrances and liens now or hereafter imposed upon or affecting any Reserve Account Collateral;

 

53


 

(c) to appear in and defend any action or proceeding which may materially and adversely affect Borrower’s title to or the Administrative Agent’s interest in the Reserve Account Collateral;
(d) following the creation of the Interest Reserve Fund and the initial funding thereof, other than to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the Cash Management Agreement, not to transfer, assign, sell, surrender, encumber, mortgage, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of any of the Reserve Account Collateral or rights or interests therein, and to keep the Reserve Account Collateral free of all levies and security interests or other liens or charges except the security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent granted hereunder;
(e) to account fully for and promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent, in the form received, all documents, chattel paper, instruments and agreements constituting the Reserve Account Collateral hereunder, endorsed to the Administrative Agent or in blank, as requested by the Administrative Agent, and accompanied by such powers as appropriate and until so delivered all such documents, instruments, agreements and proceeds shall be held by Borrower in trust for the Administrative Agent, separate from all other property of Borrower; and
(f) from time to time upon request by the Administrative Agent, to furnish such further assurances of Borrower’s title with respect to the Reserve Account Collateral, execute such written agreements, or do such other acts, all as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes of this agreement or as may be required by law, or in order to perfect or continue the first-priority lien and security interest of the Administrative Agent in the Reserve Account Collateral.
(4) Rights on Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, at its option, may withdraw the funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve Fund and apply such funds to the items for which the Interest Reserve Fund was established or to payment of the Loans in such order, proportion and priority as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion. The Administrative Agent’s right to withdraw and apply such funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under the Loan Documents.
(5) Prohibition Against Further Encumbrance. Borrower shall not, without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Interest Reserve Fund or permit any Lien to attach.
(6) Release of Reserve Funds. Any amount remaining in the Interest Reserve Fund after the Loans have been paid in full shall be promptly returned to Borrower.

 

54


 

(7) Interest. In the event that the Interest Reserve Fund is an interest-bearing account, the balance of any interest therein shall be deemed a part of thereof. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to pay interest on the Interest Reserve Fund.

Borrower grants to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Lenders) a first-priority perfected security interest in Borrower’s interest in each of the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds, subject to the prior rights of Mortgage Lender, and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds as additional security for payment of the Indebtedness to the extent Borrower has an interest in same.
(2) The Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Mortgage Lender. Subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Mortgage Lender and its servicer shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds and all costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds shall be paid by Mortgage Borrower. In the event the Mortgage Lender waives the requirement of Mortgage Borrower to maintain the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds or the Mortgage Loan has been repaid in full, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) shall have the right to require Borrower to establish and maintain reserve funds that would operate in the same manner as the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds.

There are no pending or, to Borrower’s best knowledge, proposed, special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Project, nor are there any contemplated improvements to the Project that may result in such special or other assessments.
Section 7.5 Other Agreements; Defaults. No Borrower Party is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any court order, injunction, permit, or restriction which might adversely affect the Project or the business, operations, or condition (financial or otherwise) of it or any other Borrower Party.

The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loans, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its Debts as such Debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loans 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 of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).
Section 7.12 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by or on behalf of Borrower or any other Borrower Party in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, statement or questionnaire prepared and delivered by Borrower or any other Borrower Party in connection with the Loans contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading.

90


 

value of any collateral, taken as a whole, or represent a departure from Administrative Agent’s standard of care described in Section 15.5 (and the assignment or granting of a participation by Eurohypo shall not limit or otherwise affect its discretion in respect of any of the foregoing), except that the Administrative Agent will not, without the consent of each Lender, agree to the following (provided that no Lender’s consent shall be required for any of the following which are otherwise required or contemplated under the Loan Documents): (a) reduce the principal amount of the Loans or reduce the interest rate thereon; (b) extend any stated payment date for principal of or interest on the Loans payable to such Lender; (c) release Borrower, any Joinder Party, any Guarantor or any other party from liability under the Loan Documents (except for any assigning Lender pursuant to Section 12.24 and any resigning Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 15.8); (d) release or subordinate in whole or in part any material portion of the collateral given as security for the Loans; (e) modify any of the provisions of this Section 12.2, the definition of “Majority Lenders” or any other provision in the Loan Documents specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder; (f) modify the terms of any Event of Default; or (g) consent to (i) the sale, transfer or encumbrance of any portion of the Project (or any interest therein) or any direct or indirect ownership interest therein and (ii) the incurrence by Borrower of any additional indebtedness secured by the Project, in each case to the extent (and subject to any standard of reasonability) such consent is required under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.2, as between Borrower and Lenders, notification by Administrative Agent to Borrower of Administrative Agent’s consent to any of the matters set forth in clauses (a) through and including (g) of the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be the consent of each Lender to such matter.
(2) Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained in this Agreement, any modification or supplement of Article 15, or of any of the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent.
Section 12.3 Limitation on Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable usury laws. Accordingly, all agreements between Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the Loans are hereby expressly limited so that in no event, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or charged by any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be lent hereunder or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount allowed by law. If the Loans would be usurious under Applicable Law (including the laws of the State, the laws of the State of New York and the laws of the United States of America), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents: (1) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under Applicable Law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under the Loan Documents shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by Applicable Law, and any excess shall be credited on the Notes by the holders thereof (or, if the Notes have been paid in full, refunded to Borrower); and (2) if maturity is accelerated by reason of an election by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, or in the event of any prepayment, then any consideration which constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by Applicable Law. In such case, excess interest, if any, provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread from the date of advance until payment in full so that the

 

91


 

actual rate of interest is uniform through the term hereof. If such amortization, proration, allocation and spreading is not permitted under Applicable Law, then such excess interest shall be cancelled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the Notes (or, if the Notes have been paid in full, refunded to Borrower). The terms and provisions of this Section 12.3 shall control and supersede every other provision of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents are contracts made under and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, except that if at any time the laws of the United States of America permit the Lenders to contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive a higher rate of interest than is allowed by the laws of the State of New York (whether such federal laws directly so provide or refer to the law of any state), then such federal laws shall to such extent govern as to the rate of interest which the Lenders may contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive under the Loan Documents.
Section 12.4 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of any Loan Document is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable; the Loan Documents shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof; the remaining provisions thereof shall remain in full effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom; and in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of such Loan Document a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible to be legal, valid and enforceable.
Section 12.5 Reimbursement of Expenses. Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders on demand of the applicable party for: (1) all expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the Loans, including fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent’s attorneys, environmental, engineering and other consultants, and fees, charges or taxes for the negotiation, recording or filing of Loan Documents, (2) all expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration of the Loans, including audit costs, inspection fees, attorneys’ fees and disbursement, settlement of condemnation and casualty awards, and premiums for title insurance and endorsements thereto, (3) all of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s external counsel) incurred in connection with the syndication of the Loans to the Lenders and the actions taken pursuant to Section 12.10, and (4) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all amounts expended, advanced or incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to collect the Notes, or to enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to defend or assert the rights and claims of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or with respect to the Project or the Collateral (by litigation or other proceedings), which amounts will include all court costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses, fees of auditors and accountants, and investigation expenses as may be incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with any such matters (whether or not litigation is instituted), together with interest at the Default Rate on each such amount from the date of disbursement until the date of reimbursement to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, all of which shall constitute part of the Loans and shall be secured by the Loan Documents.

The relationship between Borrower and the Lenders is, and at all times shall remain, solely that of debtor and creditor. No covenant or provision of the Loan Documents is intended, nor shall it be deemed or construed, to create a partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in profits or income between the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower or to create an equity in the Project in the Administrative Agent or any Lender. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders neither undertake nor assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any other person with respect to the Project, the Collateral or the Loans, except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents; and notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan Documents: (1) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender is, nor shall be construed as, a partner, joint venturer, alter ego, manager, controlling person or other business associate or participant of any kind of Borrower or its stockholders, members, or partners and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender intends to ever assume such status; (2) no Lender or the Administrative Agent shall in any event be liable for any Debts, expenses or losses incurred or sustained by Borrower; and (3) no Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be deemed responsible for or a participant in any acts, omissions or decisions of Borrower or its stockholders, members, or partners. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower disclaim any intention to create any partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in profits or income between the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower, or to create an equity interest in the Project or the Collateral in the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any sharing of liabilities, losses, costs or expenses.

Each Lender may assign any of its Loans, its Note and its Commitment (but only with the consent of the Administrative Agent and, in the event of a proposed assignment to a Person which is not an Eligible Assignee, the consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be deemed granted if not received within five (5) Business Days following written request therefore); provided that:
(a) no such consent by the Administrative Agent or Borrower shall be required in the case of any assignment by any Lender to another Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender or such other Lender (provided that in the case of an assignment to any such Affiliate, the assigning Lender will not be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents and the Administrative Agent may continue to deal only with such assigning Lender, unless such Affiliate is also an Eligible Assignee);
(b) except to the extent the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, any such partial assignment (other than to another Lender or an affiliate of a Lender) shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000;
(c) each such assignment (including an assignment to another Lender or an affiliate of a Lender) by a Lender of its Loans or Commitment shall be made in such manner so that the same portion of its Loans and Commitment is assigned to the respective assignee;
(d) subject to the applicable Lender’s compliance with the provisions of clauses (b) and (c) above, the Administrative Agent’s consent to an assignment shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned if (i) such assignment is made to an Eligible Assignee, and (ii) the provisions of clause (e) have been satisfied; and
(e) upon execution and delivery by the assignee (even if already a Lender) to Borrower and the Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such assignee agrees to become a “Lender” hereunder (if not already a Lender) having the Commitment and Loans specified in such instrument, and upon consent thereto by the Administrative Agent to the extent required above, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent), the obligations, rights and benefits of a Lender hereunder holding the Commitment and Loans (or portions thereof) assigned to it (in addition to the Commitment and Loans, if any, theretofore held by such assignee) and, except as provided in Section 12.24(2)(a), the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, be released from the Commitment (or portion thereof) so assigned. Upon each such assignment the assigning Lender shall pay the Administrative Agent a processing and recording fee of $3,500 and the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s counsel incurred in connection therewith.
(3) Participations.
(a) A Lender may sell or agree to sell to one or more other Persons (each a “Participant”) a participation in all or any part of any Loans held by it, or in its Commitment, provided (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other applicable parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

98


 

will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase or extend the term of such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the related Loan or Loans or any portion of any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon, or any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, to a level below the rate at which the Participant is entitled to receive such interest or fee or (v) consent to any modification, supplement or waiver hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents to the extent that the same, under Section 12.2, requires the consent of each Lender. Subject to subsection (3)(b) of this Section 12.24, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.9(1), 2.9(5), and 2.9(6) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (2) of this Section 12.24. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.24 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.24 as though it were a Lender.
(b) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(6) than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that is a non-U.S. Person that would become a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.9(6) unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.9(6) as though it were a Lender.
(4) Certain Pledges. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.24 (but without being subject thereto), any Lender may (without notice to Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and without payment of any fee) assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, and such Loans and Note shall be fully transferable as provided therein. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.
(5) Provision of Information to Assignees and Participants. A Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower, any Borrower Party or any of their respective Affiliates or the Project in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants).
(6) No Assignments to Borrower or Affiliates. Anything in this Section 12.24 to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to Borrower or any of its Affiliates without the prior consent of each Lender.
Section 12.25 Brokers. Borrower hereby represents to the Administrative Agent and each Lender Borrower has not dealt with any broker, underwriters, placement agent, or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, other than Ditmas Capital (the “Broker”). Borrower hereby agrees to pay all fees and commissions due and payable to Broker and to indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person (including Broker) that such Person acted on behalf of such Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

Section 12.26 Right of Setoff.
(1) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each of the Lenders is, subject (as between the Lenders) to the provisions of subsection (3) of this Section 12.26, hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held, and other indebtedness at any time owing, by such Lender in any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the respective obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or any other Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured and such deposits or indebtedness may be unmatured. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the exercise by any Lender of offset, setoff, banker’s lien, or similar rights against any deposit or other indebtedness of Borrower whether or not located in California or any other state with certain laws restricting lenders from pursuing multiple collection methods, could result under such laws in significant impairment of the ability of all the Lenders to recover any further amounts in respect of the Loan. Therefore, each Lender agrees that no Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, banker’s lien, or otherwise, against any assets of Borrower (including all general or special, time or demand, provisional or other deposits and other indebtedness owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders.
(2) Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Lenders under this Section 12.26 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which the Lenders may have.
(3) If an Event of Default has resulted in the Loans becoming due and payable prior to the stated maturity thereof, each Lender agrees that it shall turn over to the Administrative Agent any payment (whether voluntary or involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise) on account of the Loans held by it in excess of its ratable portion of payments on account of the Loans obtained by all the Lenders.
Section 12.27 Reserved.
Section 12.28 Mortgage Loan Defaults.

Borrower shall not, and shall not cause or permit Mortgage Borrower or any other Person to impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Administrative Agent to cure any default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan, or to otherwise protect or preserve Administrative Agent’s interests in the Loans and the Collateral, including the Project in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(3) Borrower hereby indemnifies Lenders and Administrative Agent from and against all out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought, and settlement costs), and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent as a result of the foregoing actions described in Section 12.28(1). Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any other party to make any such payment or performance. Borrower shall not impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to not impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Administrative Agent to cure any default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan, or to otherwise protect or preserve Administrative Agent’s interests in the Loans and the Collateral following a default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan.

 

101


 

(4) If Administrative Agent shall receive a copy of any notice of default under the Mortgage Loan Documents sent by Mortgage Loan Administrative Agent to Mortgage Borrower, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent, in good faith, in reliance thereon. As a material inducement to Administrative Agent making the Loans, Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally release and waive all claims against Administrative Agent arising out of Administrative Agent’s exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Section 12.28(4) other than claims arising out of the fraud, illegal acts, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent. In the event that Administrative Agent (on behalf of Lenders) makes any payment in respect of the Mortgage Loan, Administrative Agent (on behalf of Lenders) shall be subrogated to all of the rights of Mortgage Loan Administrative Agent (on behalf of Mortgage Lender) under the Mortgage Loan Documents against the Project, in addition to all other rights it may have under the Loan Documents.
(5) Any default under the Mortgage Loan which is cured by Administrative Agent (on behalf of Lenders), whether or not such cure is prior to the expiration of any applicable grace, notice or cure period under the Mortgage Loan Documents, shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under this Agreement without any notice, grace or cure period otherwise applicable under this Agreement.
(6) In the event that Administrative Agent (on behalf of Lenders) makes any payment in respect of the Mortgage Loan, Administrative Agent (on behalf of Lenders) shall be subrogated to all of the rights of Mortgage Loan Administrative Agent (on behalf of Mortgage Lender) under the Mortgage Loan Documents against the Project and Mortgage Borrower in addition to all other rights Lender may have under the Loan Documents or applicable law.
Section 12.29 Intercreditor Agreement.
(1) Lenders and Mortgage Lender are parties to a certain intercreditor agreement dated as of the Original Closing Date (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) memorializing their relative rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Loans, Mortgage Borrower, Borrower, the Collateral and the Project. Borrower and Mortgage Borrower hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) such Intercreditor Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of Lenders and Mortgage Lender and (ii) Borrower and Mortgage Borrower are not intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein and shall not be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Lenders and Mortgage Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to Borrower the contents of the Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower’s obligations hereunder are independent of such Intercreditor Agreement and remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.

Further, the denial by the Administrative Agent of a requested consent or approval shall not create any liability or other obligation of Lenders or Administrative Agent if the denial of such consent or approval results directly or indirectly in a default under the Mortgage Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any claim of liability against Lenders or Administrative Agent arising from any such denial.

In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Potential Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Within ten (10) days of delivery of such notice of Potential Default or Event of Default from the Administrative Agent to the Lenders (or such shorter period of time as the Administrative Agent determines is necessary), the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult with each other to determine a proposed course of action. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 15.7) take such action with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Majority Lenders, provided that, (A) unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, including decisions (1) to make protective advances that the Administrative Agent determines are necessary to protect or maintain the Project and (2) to foreclose on any of the Project or exercise any other remedy, with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the interest of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of all of the Lenders

 

108


 

and (B) no actions approved by the Majority Lenders shall violate the Loan Documents or Applicable Law. Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents (including the Notes) other than through the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of all material actions which the Administrative Agent takes in accordance with the provisions of this Section 15.3(1) and shall continue to consult with the Lenders with respect to all of such actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Majority Lenders shall at any time direct that a different or additional remedial action be taken from that already undertaken by the Administrative Agent, including the commencement of foreclosure proceedings, such different or additional remedial action shall be taken in lieu of or in addition to, the prosecution of such action taken by the Administrative Agent; provided that all actions already taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 15.3(1) shall be valid and binding on each Lender. All money (other than money subject to the provisions of Section 15.7) received from any enforcement actions, including the proceeds of a foreclosure sale of the Project or Collateral, shall be applied, first, to the payment or reimbursement of the Administrative Agent for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of Sections 15.3(2), (3) and (4) and 15.5, second, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of Sections 15.3(2), (3) and (4) and 15.5; third, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for any advances made pursuant to Section 15.3(2); and fourth, pari passu to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares, unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 15.12, in which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such proceeds of the Defaulting Lender and be applied to payment of such Unpaid Amount to the Special Advance Lender.
(2) All losses with respect to interest (including interest at the Default Rate) and other sums payable pursuant to the Notes or incurred in connection with the Loans shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares of the Loans. All losses incurred in connection with the Loans, the enforcement thereof or the realization of the security therefor, shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares of the Loan, and the Lenders shall promptly, upon request, remit to the Administrative Agent their respective proportionate shares of (i) any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Default to the extent any expenses have not been paid by Borrower, (ii) any advances made to pay taxes or insurance or otherwise to preserve the Lien of the Pledge Agreement or to preserve and protect the Collateral, (iii) any other expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Pledge Agreement or other Loan Documents, and (iv) any expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the Loans not paid or provided for by Borrower. To the extent any such advances are recovered in connection with the enforcement of the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents, each Lender shall be paid its proportionate share of such recovery after deduction of the expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
(3) If, at the direction of the Majority Lenders or otherwise as provided in Section 15.3(1), any action(s) is brought to collect on the Notes or enforce the Pledge Agreement or any other Loan Document, such action shall (to the extent permitted under Applicable Law and the decisions of the court in which such action is brought) be an action brought by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, collectively, to collect on all or a portion of the Notes or enforce the Pledge Agreement or any other

 

109


 

Loan Document and counsel selected by the Administrative Agent shall prosecute any such action on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult and cooperate with each other in the prosecution thereof. All decisions concerning the appointment of a receiver while such action is pending, the conduct of such receivership, the conduct of such action, the collection of any judgment entered in such action and the settlement of such action shall be made by the Administrative Agent. The costs and expenses of any such action shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with each of their respective proportionate shares.
(4) If, at the direction of the Majority Lenders or otherwise as provided in Section 15.3(1), any action(s) is brought to foreclose the Pledge Agreement such action shall (to the extent permitted under Applicable Law and the decisions of the court in which such action is brought) be an action brought by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, collectively, to foreclose all or a portion of the Pledge Agreement and collect on the Notes. Counsel selected by the Administrative Agent shall prosecute any such foreclosure on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult and cooperate with each other in the prosecution thereof. All decisions concerning the conduct of such foreclosure and the manner of taking and holding title to the Collateral (other than as set forth in subsection (5) below), the sale of the Collateral after realization of the Collateral under the Pledge Agreement, and the commencement and conduct of any deficiency judgment proceeding shall be made by the Administrative Agent. The costs and expenses of foreclosure will be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares.
(5) If title to the Collateral is acquired after a realization of the Collateral under the Pledge Agreement, title shall be held by the Administrative Agent in its own name in trust for the Lenders or, at the Administrative Agent’s election, in the name of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders.
(6) If the Administrative Agent (or its subsidiary) acquires title to the Collateral, all material decisions with respect to the possession, ownership, development, construction, control, operation, leasing, management and sale of the Project shall be made by the Administrative Agent. All income or other money received after so acquiring title to or taking possession of the Collateral, including income from the operation and management of the Project and the proceeds of a sale of the Project, shall be applied, first, to the payment or reimbursement of the Administrative Agent and the expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Article 15, second, to the payment of operating expenses with respect to the Project; third, to the establishment of reasonable reserves for the operation of the Project; fourth, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for any advances made pursuant to Section 15.3(2); fifth to fund any capital improvement, leasing and other reserves; and sixth, to the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares, unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 15.12, in which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such proceeds of the Defaulting Lender and be applied to payment of such Unpaid Amount to the Special Advance Lender.

 

110


 

Section 15.4 Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it Eurohypo (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. Eurohypo (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and its affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of lending, trust or other business with Borrower (and any of its Affiliates) as if it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and Eurohypo and its affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.
Section 15.5 Standard of Care; Indemnification. In performing its duties under the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent will exercise the same degree of care as it normally exercises in connection with real estate loans in which no syndication or participations are involved, but the Administrative Agent shall have no further responsibility to any Lender except as expressly provided herein and except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct which resulted in actual loss to such Lender, and, except to such extent, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to any Lender for the failure by the Administrative Agent to comply with any of the Administrative Agent’s obligations to Borrower under the Loan Documents or otherwise. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 12.5, but without limiting the obligations of Borrower under Section 12.5) ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans held by the Lenders (or, if no Loans are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (including by any Lender) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses that Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 12.5, but excluding, unless a Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the Administrative Agent’s breach of its standard of care set forth in the first sentence of this Section 15.5.
Section 15.6 Non Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower and its Affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document. Subject to the provisions of the first sentence of Section 15.5, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the Project or the books of Borrower or any of its Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder or as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of Borrower or any of its Affiliates that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates.

 

111


 

Section 15.7 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of the Administrative Agent hereunder, and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 15.5 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
Section 15.8 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent that shall be a Person that meets the qualifications of an Eligible Assignee. Such successor Administrative Agent shall be approved by Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, that shall be an institutional lender that meets the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 15.8). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provision of this Article 15 and Section 12.5 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.
Section 15.9 Consents under Loan Documents. As between Borrower and Lenders, the Administrative Agent may as expressly provided in the Loan Documents and, if not expressly provided, with the consent of the Majority Lenders (a) grant any consent or approval required of it or (b) consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents. If the Administrative Agent solicits any consents or approvals from the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, each Lender shall within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such request, give the Administrative Agent written notice of its consent or approval or denial thereof; provided that, if any Lender does not respond within such ten (10) Business Days, such Lender shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent to vote such Lender’s interest with respect to the matter which was the subject of the Administrative Agent’s solicitation as the Administrative Agent elects. Any such solicitation by the Administrative Agent for a consent or approval shall be in writing and shall include a description of the matter or thing as to which such consent or approval is requested and shall include the Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. After Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 15 and Section 12.5 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

 

112


 

Section 15.10 Authorization. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Lenders to execute, deliver and perform in accordance with the terms of each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is or is intended to be a party and each Lender agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of the Administrative Agent contained in such Loan Documents. Borrower shall be entitled to rely on all written agreements, approvals and consents received from the Administrative Agent as being that also of the Lenders, without obtaining separate acknowledgment or proof of authorization of same.
Section 15.11 Reserved.
Section 15.12 Defaulting Lenders.
(1) If any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) shall for any reason fail to (i) make any respective Loan required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (ii) pay its proportionate share of an advance or disbursement to protect the Collateral or the Lien of the Pledge Agreement, any of the other Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, make all or a portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Loan or proportionate share of such advance, provided that such Lender gives the Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent prior notice of its intention to do so. The right to make such advances in respect of the Defaulting Lender shall be exercisable first by the Lender holding the greatest proportionate share and thereafter to each of the Lenders in descending order of their respective proportionate shares of the Loans or in such other manner as the Majority Lenders (excluding the Defaulting Lender) may agree on. Any Lender making all or any portion of the Defaulting Lender’s proportionate share of the applicable Loan or advance in accordance with the foregoing terms and conditions shall be referred to as a “Special Advance Lender”.
(2) In any case where a Lender becomes a Special Advance Lender (i) the Special Advance Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, and the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have sold, a senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s respective Loan to the extent of the amount so advanced or disbursed (the “Advanced Amount”) bearing interest (including interest at the Default Rate, if applicable) and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall have no voting rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents so long as it is a Defaulting Lender. It is expressly understood and agreed that each of the respective obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including advancing Loans, losses incurred in connection with the Loan, including costs and expenses of enforcement, advancing to preserve the Lien of the Pledge Agreement or to preserve and protect the Collateral, shall be without regard to any adjustment in the proportionate shares occasioned by the acts of a Defaulting Lender. The Special Advance Lender shall be entitled to recover from the Defaulting Lender an amount (the “Unpaid Amount”) equal to the applicable Advanced Amount, plus any unpaid interest due and owing with respect thereto, less any repayments thereof made by the Defaulting Lender immediately upon demand. The Defaulting Lender shall have the right to repurchase the senior participation in its Loan from the Special Advance Lender at any time by the payment of the Unpaid Amount.

 

113


 

(3) A Special Advance Lender shall (i) give notice to the Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders (provided that failure to deliver said notice to any party other than the Defaulting Lender shall not constitute a default under this Agreement) of the Advance Amount and the percentage of the Special Advance Lender’s senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s Loan and (ii) in the event of the repayment of any of the Unpaid Amount by the Defaulting Lender, give notice to the Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent of the fact that the Unpaid Amount has been repaid (in whole or in part), the amount of such repayment and, if applicable, the revised percentage of the Special Advance Lender’s senior participation. Provided that the Administrative Agent has received notice of such participation, the Administrative Agent shall have the same obligations to distribute interest, principal and other sums received by the Administrative Agent with respect to a Special Advance Lender’s senior participation as the Administrative Agent has with respect to the distribution of interest, principal and other sums under this Agreement; and at the time of making any distributions to the Lenders, shall make payments to the Special Advance Lender with respect to a Special Advance Lender’s senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s Loan out of the Defaulting Lender’s share of any such distributions.
(4) A Defaulting Lender shall immediately pay to a Special Advance Lender all sums of any kind paid to or received by the Defaulting Lender from Borrower, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in connection with the realization of the security herefor until the Unpaid Amount is fully repaid. Notwithstanding the fact that the Defaulting Lender may temporarily hold such sums, the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to hold same as a trustee for the benefit of the Special Advance Lender, it being the express intention of the Lenders that the Special Advance Lender shall have an ownership interest in such sums to the extent of the Unpaid Amount.
(5) Each Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold the Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and interest at the Default Rate) which they may sustain or incur by reason of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to abide by its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except to the extent a Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender. The Administrative Agent shall, after payment of any amounts due to any Special Advance Lender pursuant to the terms of subsection (3) above, setoff against any payments due to such Defaulting Lender for the claims of the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders pursuant to this indemnity.
Section 15.13 Liability of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not have any liabilities or responsibilities to Borrower on account of the failure of any Lender (other than the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender) to perform its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

 

114


 

Section 15.14 Transfer of Agency Function. Without the consent of Borrower or any Lender, the Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time transfer its functions as the Administrative Agent hereunder to any of its offices wherever located in the United States; provided that the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders thereof.
ARTICLE 16
AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT
This Agreement amends, restates, supersedes and replaces the Existing Loan Agreement in its entirety, and all references in the Loan Documents to the “Loan Agreement” shall hereafter refer to this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and/or in any amendments or modifications to the other Loan Documents entered into on or after the date hereof, the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms.
ARTICLE 17
RELEASE
In consideration of Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, Borrower and (by its execution of the Joinder attached hereto) each Joinder Party, on behalf of itself and its heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), remises, releases, acquits, satisfies and forever discharges Administrative Agent and each Lender, Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s predecessors in interest, and all of the respective past, present and future officers, directors, employees, agents, servicers, attorneys, representatives, participants, heirs, successors and assigns of Administrative Agent and each Lender and Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s predecessors in interest (collectively, “Lender Parties”), from any and all manner of debts, accountings, bonds, warranties, representations, covenants, promises, contracts, controversies, agreements, liabilities, obligations, expenses, damages, judgments, executions, actions, claims, demands and causes of action of any nature whatsoever, at law or in equity, known or unknown, either now accrued or subsequently maturing, which Borrower or any of the other Releasing Parties now has or hereafter can, shall or may have by reason of any matter, cause or thing, from the beginning of the world to and including the date of this Agreement arising out of or relating to (a) the Loans, including, but not limited to, its administration or funding, (b) the Loan Documents, (c) the Project or its development, financing and operation, and (d) any other agreement or transaction between Borrower or any of the other Releasing Parties and any of Lender Parties relating to the matters described in (a) through (c) above. Borrower and (by its execution of the Joinder attached hereto) each Joinder Party, for itself and the other Releasing Parties, covenants and agrees never to institute or cause to be instituted or continue prosecution of any suit or other form of action or proceeding of any kind or nature whatsoever against any of Lender Parties by reason of or in connection with any of the foregoing matters, claims or causes of action.

JOINDER
By executing this Joinder (the “Joinder”), each of the undersigned (collectively referred to herein as the “Joinder Parties”; individually referred to herein as “Joinder Party”) hereby (i) unconditionally, irrevocably and jointly and severally guaranty the performance by Borrower of Borrower’s obligations with respect to Borrower’s indemnification obligations under Sections 9.12(2)(a) through and including 9.12(2)(e) and Section 12.5 of this Agreement and all obligations and liabilities for which Borrower is personally liable under Section 13.1 of this Agreement, (ii) agrees to cause Borrower and Mortgage Borrower to at all times be Single Purpose Entities and to otherwise comply with each of the covenants contained in Section 9.6 of this Agreement and (iii) joins in and agrees to be bound by the provisions of Article 17 hereof. This Joinder is a guaranty of full and complete payment and performance and not of collectability. The Joinder Parties are (a) Abraham Galbut, an individual (b) Keith Menin, an individual, (c) Seth Frohlich, an individual, and (d) Morgans Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
(1) Waivers. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Joinder Parties waive all rights and defenses of sureties, guarantors, accommodation parties and/or co-makers and agree that their obligations under this Joinder shall be primary, absolute and unconditional, and that their obligations under this Joinder shall be unaffected by any of such rights or defenses, including:
(a) the unenforceability of any Loan Document against Borrower and/or any guarantor or other Joinder Party;
(b) any release or other action or inaction taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the collateral under any Loan Document, the Loan, Borrower, any guarantor and/or other Joinder Party, whether or not the same may impair or destroy any subrogation rights of any Joinder Party, or constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any surety or indemnitor;
(c) the existence of any collateral or other security for the Loan, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursue any of such collateral or other security, or pursue any remedies it may have against Borrower, any guarantor and/or any other Joinder Party;
(d) any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender provide notice to or obtain a Joinder Party’s consent to any modification, increase, extension or other amendment of the Loan, including the guaranteed obligations;
(e) any right of subrogation (until payment in full of the Loan, including the guaranteed obligations, and the expiration of any applicable preference period and statute of limitations for fraudulent conveyance claims);
(f) any defense based on any statute of limitations;
(g) any payment by Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender if such payment is held to be a preference or fraudulent conveyance under bankruptcy laws or the Administrative Agent or such Lender is otherwise required to refund such payment to Borrower or any other party; and
(h) any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding affecting Borrower or any of its assets.

 

1


 

(2) Agreements. Joinder Parties further represent, warrant and agree that:
(a) Neither the exercise of any remedies by the Administrative Agent or any Lender nor any other action taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall affect or in any manner alleviate the obligations of the Joinder Parties hereunder.
