(a)                                 Provided that no Event of Default exists, the Loan will bear interest at the Applicable Rate, unless the Default Rate is applicable. The Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be the “Applicable Rate” for the Loan, except that the Adjusted Prime Rate shall be the “Applicable Rate” with respect to portions of the Loan as to which a Daily LIBOR Rate is not available.  All payments (whether of principal or of interest) shall be deemed credited to Borrower’s account only if received by 12:00 noon Cleveland time on a Business Day; otherwise, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.

 

(b) If Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error) (i) that Dollar deposits are not generally available at such time in the London Interbank Market for deposits in Dollars in an amount equal to the Loan, (ii) that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining a Daily LIBOR Rate on the Loan or of funding the same for such LIBOR Rate Interest Period due to circumstances affecting the London Interbank Market generally, (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining a Daily LIBOR Rate, or (iv) that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law pay, then, in any such event, Lender shall so notify Borrower and all portions of the Loan bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate that are so affected shall, as of the date of such notification with respect to an event described in clause (ii) or (iv) above, or as of the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period with respect to an event described in clause (i) or (iii)  above, bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate until such time as the situations described above are no longer in effect.

 

(c)                                  If the introduction of or any change in any Law or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof, shall make it unlawful for Lender to maintain an Adjusted LIBOR Rate with respect to the Loan or any portion thereof, or to fund the Loan or any portion thereof in United States dollars in the London Interbank market, then (i) Lender shall notify Borrower that Lender is no longer able to maintain the Adjusted LIBOR Rate and (ii) the interest rate for any portion of the Loan for which the Adjusted LIBOR Rate is then applicable shall automatically be converted to the Adjusted Prime Rate.

ARTICLE 6
COSTS OF MAINTAINING LOAN

 

6.1                               Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy.

 

(a)                                 Borrower recognizes that the cost to Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof may fluctuate and, Borrower agrees to pay Lender additional amounts to compensate Lender for any increase in its actual costs incurred in maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof outstanding or for the reduction of any amounts received or receivable from Borrower as a result of:

 

(i)                                     any change after the date hereof in any applicable Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation or administration thereof, or by any domestic or foreign court, (A) changing the basis of taxation of payments under this Agreement to Lender (other than taxes imposed on all or any portion of the overall net income or receipts of Lender), or (B) imposing, modifying or applying any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds for loans by Lender (which includes the Loan or any applicable portion thereof) (provided, however, that Borrower shall not be charged again the Reserve Percentage already accounted for in the definition of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate), or (C) imposing on Lender, or the London interbank market generally, any other condition affecting the Loan, provided that the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable from Borrower by Lender under the Loan Documents; or

 

(ii)                                  the maintenance by Lender of reserves in accordance with reserve requirements promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States with respect to “Eurocurrency Liabilities” of a similar term to that of the applicable portion of the Loan (without duplication for reserves already accounted for in the calculation of a LIBOR Rate pursuant to the terms hereof).

 

(b)         If the application of any Law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted or arising out of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards”, or the adoption after the date hereof of any other Law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in any of the foregoing, or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any domestic or foreign Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or

 

12



 

compliance by Lender, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital to a level below that which Lender would have achieved but for such application, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of Lender with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction with respect to any portion of the Loan outstanding.

 

(c)                                  Any amount payable by Borrower under subsection (a) or subsection (b) of this Section 6.1 shall be paid within five (5) days of receipt by Borrower of a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Lender setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error.  Failure on the part of Lender to demand payment from Borrower for any such amount attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period.  Lender shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrower prompt notice of any event described in subsection (a) or (b) above, of the amount of the reserve and capital adequacy payments resulting therefrom and the reasons therefor and of the basis of calculation of such amount; provided, however, that any failure by Lender to so notify Borrower shall not affect Borrower’s obligation to pay the reserve and capital adequacy payment resulting therefrom.

 

6.2                               Borrower Withholding.

 

If by reason of a change in any applicable Laws occurring after the date hereof, Borrower is required by Law to make any deduction or withholding in respect of any taxes (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of Lender or any franchise tax imposed on Lender), duties or other charges from any payment due under the Note to the maximum extent permitted by law, the sum due from Borrower in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Lender receives and retains a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made.

OTHER COVENANTS

 

11.1                        Borrower further covenants and agrees as follows:

 

(a)                                 Mechanics’ Liens and Contest Thereof.  Borrower will not suffer or permit any mechanics’ lien claims to be filed or otherwise asserted against the Project and will promptly discharge the same in case of the filing of any claims for lien or proceedings for the enforcement thereof, provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith and with reasonable diligence the validity of any such lien or claim provided that Borrower posts a statutory lien bond which removes such lien from title to the Project within thirty (30) days of written notice by Lender to Borrower of the existence of the lien).

 

(b)                                 Settlement of Mechanics’ Lien Claims.  If Borrower shall fail promptly either (i) to discharge any such lien, or (ii) post a statutory lien bond in the manner provided in Section 15.1(e)  Lender may, at its election (but shall not be required to), procure the release and discharge of any such claim and any judgment or decree thereon and, further, may in its sole discretion effect any settlement or compromise of the same, or may furnish such security or indemnity to the Title Insurer, and any amounts so expended by Lender, including premiums paid or security furnished in connection with the issuance of any surety company bonds, shall be deemed to constitute disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan hereunder.  In settling, compromising or discharging any claims for lien, Lender shall not be required to inquire into the validity or amount of any such claim.

 

(c)                                  Renewal of Insurance.  Borrower shall cause insurance policies to be maintained in compliance with Exhibit F at all times, as applicable.  Borrower shall timely pay all premiums on all insurance policies required hereunder, and as and when additional insurance is required, from time to time, and as and when any policies of insurance may expire, furnish to Lender, premiums prepaid,

 

17



 

additional and renewal insurance policies with companies, coverage and in amounts satisfactory to Lender in accordance with Section 8.1(g).

 

(d)                                 Payment of Taxes.  Borrower shall pay all real estate taxes and assessments and charges of every kind upon the Project before the same become delinquent, provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to pay such tax under protest or to otherwise contest any such tax or assessment, but only if (i) such contest has the effect of preventing the collection of such taxes so contested and also of preventing the sale or forfeiture of the Project or any part thereof or any interest therein, (ii) Borrower has notified Lender of Borrower’s intent to contest such taxes, and (iii) Borrower has deposited security in form and amount satisfactory to Lender, in its sole discretion, and has increased the amount of such security so deposited promptly after Lender’s reasonable request therefor.  If Borrower fails to commence such contest or, having commenced to contest the same, and having deposited such security required by Lender for its full amount, shall thereafter fail to prosecute such contest in good faith or with due diligence, or, upon adverse conclusion of any such contest, shall fail to pay such tax, assessment or charge, Lender may, at its election (but shall not be required to), pay and discharge any such tax, assessment or charge, and any interest or penalty thereon, and any amounts so expended by Lender shall be deemed to constitute disbursements of the Loan proceeds hereunder (even if the total amount of disbursements would exceed the face amount of the Note).  Borrower shall furnish to Lender evidence that taxes are paid at least five (5) days prior to the last date for payment of such taxes and before imposition of any penalty or accrual of interest.

 

(e)                                  Tax and Insurance Escrow Accounts.  Upon request of Lender or upon an Event of Default, Borrower shall establish and maintain at all times until the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents have been satisfied an impound account (the “Impound Account”) with Lender for payment of taxes and insurance premiums on the Project and as additional security for the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents.  Borrower shall deposit in the Impound Account an amount reasonably determined by Lender to be sufficient (when added to the monthly deposits described herein) to pay the next due installment of real estate taxes and assessments on the Project at least one (1) month prior to the due date or the delinquency date thereof (as Lender shall determine) and the next due annual insurance premiums with respect to the Project at least one (1) month prior to the due date thereof. On January 10, 2011 and on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall pay to Lender, concurrently with the payment due under the Note, deposits in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual taxes that will next become due and payable on the Project (the “Monthly Tax Impound”), plus one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual insurance premiums that will next become due and payable on insurance policies which Borrower is required to maintain hereunder (the “Monthly Insurance Impound”), each as estimated and determined by Lender.  The Monthly Tax Impound and Monthly Insurance Impound, and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. If Lender at any time determines that the Monthly Tax Impound or Monthly Insurance Impound is insufficient, Lender may in its reasonable discretion adjust the required monthly payments of such amounts, and Borrower shall be obligated to pay the increased amounts for the Monthly Tax Impound or Monthly Insurance Impound commencing with the next Payment Date under the Note. So long as no Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing, all sums in the Impound Account shall be held by Lender in the Impound Account and used to pay taxes and insurance premiums on the Project before the same become delinquent. Borrower shall be responsible for ensuring the receipt by Lender, at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due date or the delinquency date for payment thereof (as Lender shall determine), of all bills, invoices and statements for all taxes and insurance premiums on the Project to be paid from the Impound Account, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall pay the governmental authority or other party entitled thereto directly to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Impound Account. In making any payment from the Impound Account, Lender shall be entitled to rely on any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or

 

18



 

insurance company or agent without any inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate and without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability of any tax, assessment, valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. Lender shall pay no interest on funds contained in the Impound Account to Borrower and any interest or other earnings on funds deposited in the Impound Account shall be solely for the account of Lender. If the total funds in the Impound Account shall exceed the amount of payments actually applied by Lender for the purposes of the Impound Account, such excess maybe credited by Lender on subsequent payments to the Impound Account to be made hereunder or, at the option of Lender, refunded to Borrower.

ASSIGNMENTS BY LENDER AND BORROWER

 

13.1                        Assignments and Participations.

 

Lender may from time to time sell the Loan and the Loan Documents (or any interest therein) and may grant participations in the Loan.  Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender’s efforts to do any of the foregoing and to execute all documents reasonably required by Lender in connection therewith which do not materially adversely affect Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents.

Borrower shall not suffer or permit (a) any change in the management (whether direct or indirect) of the Project or of Borrower, or (b) any Transfer.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Borrower shall be permitted to Transfer (such Transfer, a “Permitted Transfer”), without the prior written consent of Lender (but Borrower shall provide Lender with written notice of such Transfer prior to such Transfer), direct or indirect ownership interests of any Borrower provided such Transfers do not result in a change in Control.  In connection with any proposed Permitted Transfer, Borrower shall provide Lender with any and all information as Lender shall reasonably require with respect to such Transfer, including, without limitation, any information necessary for Lender to complete Lender’s Patriot Act Customer Identification Process and OFAC Review Process prior to such Permitted Transfer.  In no event shall any Transfer be permitted unless all parties in connection with any proposed Transfer successfully complete Lender’s Patriot Act Customer Identification Process.

Each and every covenant and condition for the benefit of Lender contained in this Agreement may be waived by Lender, provided, however, that to the extent that Lender may have acquiesced in any noncompliance with any conditions precedent to the Closing of the Loan, such acquiescence shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by Lender of such requirements with respect to any future disbursements of Loan proceeds.

directly to a contractor or subcontractor or provider of services be deemed to create any third-party beneficiary status or recognition of same by the Lender.

EXHIBIT C

 

Title Requirements

 

1.                                      Title Insurance Company Requirements. The maximum single risk (i.e., the amount insured under any one policy) by a title insurer may not exceed 25% of that insurer’s surplus and statutory reserves.  Reinsurance must be obtained by closing for any policy exceeding such amount.

 

2.                                      Loan Policy Forms. Standard 1992 or 2006 American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) form of loan title insurance policy, or the 1970 (amended October 17, 1970) ALTA loan form policies must be used.

 

3.                                      Insurance Amount. The amount insured must equal at least the original principal amount of the Loan.

 

4.                                      Named Insured. The named insured under the Title Policy must be substantially the same as the following: “KeyBank National Association, and its respective successors and assigns.”

 

5.                                      Creditors’ Rights. Any “creditors’ rights” exception or other exclusion from coverage for voidable transactions under bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, or other debtor protection laws or equitable principles must be removed by either an endorsement or a written waiver and an affirmative creditors’ rights endorsement (ALRA Endorsement 21) must be added.

 

6.                                      Arbitration. In the event that the form policy which is utilized includes a compulsory arbitration provision, the insurer must agree that such compulsory arbitration provisions do not apply to any claims by or on behalf of the insured. Please note that the 1987 and 1992 ALTA form loan policies include such provisions.

 

7.                                      Date of Policy. The effective date of the Title Policy must be as of the date and time of the closing.

 

8.                                      Legal Description. The legal description of the property contained in the Title Policy must conform to (a) the legal description shown on the survey of the property, and (b) the legal description contained in the Mortgage. In any event, the Title Policy must be endorsed to provide that the insured legal description is the same as that shown on the survey.

 

9.                                      Easements. Each Title Policy shall insure, as separate parcels: (a) all appurtenant easements and other estates benefiting the property, and (b) all other rights, title, and interests of the borrower in real property under reciprocal easement agreements, access agreements, operating agreements, and agreements containing covenants, conditions, and restrictions relating to the Project.

 

10.                               Exceptions to Coverage. With respect to the exceptions, the following applies:

 

a)                                     Each Title Policy shall afford the broadest coverage available in the state in which the subject property is located.

 

b)                                     The “standard” exceptions (such as for parties in possession or other matters not shown on public records) must be deleted.

 



 

c)                                      The “standard” exception regarding tenants in possession under residential leases, should also be deleted. For commercial properties, a rent roll should be attached in lieu of the general exception.

 

d)                                     The standard survey exception to the Title Policy must be deleted. Instead, a survey reading reflecting the current survey should be incorporated.

 

e)                                      Any exception for taxes, assessments, or other lienable items must expressly insure that such taxes, assessments, or other items are not yet due and payable.

 

f)                                       Any lien, encumbrance, condition, restriction, or easement of record must be listed in the Title Policy, and the Title Policy must affirmatively insure that the improvements do not encroach upon the insured easements or insure against all loss or damage due to such encroachment

 

g)                                      The Title Policy may not contain any exception for any filed or unfiled mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens.

 

h)                                     In the event that a comprehensive endorsement has been issued and any Schedule B exceptions continue to be excluded from the coverage provided through that endorsement, then a determination must be made whether such exceptions would be acceptable to Bank. In the event that it is determined that such exception is acceptable, a written explanation regarding the acceptability must be submitted as part of the delivery of the loan documents.

 

If Schedule B indicates the presence of any easements that are not located on the survey, the Title Policy must provide affirmative insurance against any loss resulting from the exercise by the holder of such easement of its right to use or maintain that easement. ALTA Form 103.1 or an equivalent endorsement is required for this purpose.

 

11.                               Endorsements. With respect to endorsements, the following applies:

 

a)                                     Each Title Policy must include an acceptable environmental protection lien endorsement on ALTA Form 8.1. Please note that Form 8.1 may take exception for an entire statute which contains one or more specific sections under which environmental protection liens could take priority over the Mortgage; provided, however, that such specific sections under which the lien could arise must also be referenced.

 

b)                                     Each Title Policy must contain an endorsement which provides that the insured legal description is the same as shown on the survey.

 

c)                                      Each Title Policy must contain a comprehensive endorsement (ALTA Form 9) if a lien, encumbrance, condition, restriction, or easement is listed in Schedule B to the title insurance policy.

 

d)                                     Lender may require the following endorsements where applicable and available:

 

-access

12.                               Other Coverages. Each Title Policy shall insure the following by endorsement or affirmative insurance to the extent such coverage is not afforded by the ALTA Form 9 or its equivalent in a particular jurisdiction:

 

a)                                     that no conditions, covenants, or restrictions of record affecting the property:

 

(i)                                     have been violated,

(ii)                                  create lien rights which prime the insured mortgage,

(iii)                               contain a right of reverter or forfeiture, a right of reentry, or power of termination, or

(iv)                              if violated in the future would result in the lien created by the insured mortgage or title to the property being lost, forfeited, or subordinated; and

 

b)                                     that except for temporary interference resulting solely from maintenance, repair, replacement, or alteration of lines, facilities, or equipment located in easements and rights of way taken as certain exceptions to each Title Policy, such exceptions do not and shall not prevent the use and operation of the Property or the improvements as used and operated on the effective date of the Title Policy.

 

13.                               Informational Matters.  The Policy must include, as an informational note, the following:

 

a)                                     The recorded plat number together with recording information; and

 

b)                                     The property parcel number or the tax identification number, as applicable.
