If both the Telerate and Reuters system are unavailable, then the rate for that date will be determined on the basis of the offered rates for deposits in U.S. dollars for a period of time comparable to such LIBOR Interest Period which are offered by four major banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time, on the day that is two (2) Business Days prior to the beginning of such LIBOR Interest Period preceding the first day of such LIBOR Rate Loan as selected by Lender.

ARTICLE II

 

2.1          Revolving Credit Loans.  Each Lender agrees, on and after the date of this Agreement, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, to lend to the Borrower, severally and not jointly, and prior to the Maturity Date (the “Credit Period”) such amounts as the Borrower may request from time to time (individually, a “Revolving Credit Loan” or collectively, the “Revolving Credit Loans”), which amounts may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed, provided, however, that the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Loans outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) Lenders’ Commitment as it may be reduced pursuant to 2.12 hereof and (ii) the Borrowing Base.  The Borrower agrees to borrow and the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Lenders’ Commitment Percentage.

 

2.2          Revolving Credit Note.  The Revolving Credit Loans shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a “Revolving Credit Note”) dated the date hereof and completed with appropriate insertions.  One Revolving Credit Note shall be payable to the order of each Lender in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment and shall be entitled to the benefits of and shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement.  At the time of the making of each Revolving Credit Loan and at the time of each payment of principal thereon, the holder of each Revolving Credit Note is hereby authorized by the Borrower to make a notation on the schedule annexed to the Revolving Credit Note of the date and amount of the Revolving Credit Loan or payment, as the case may be.  Failure to make a notation with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under each Revolving Credit Note with respect to such Revolving Credit Loan, and any payment of principal on the Revolving Credit Note by the Borrower shall not be affected by the failure to make a notation thereof on said schedule.

 

2.3          Interest.

 

2.3.1     Rate Options.  Except as provided below, all Loans shall bear interest at the LIBOR Based Rate.  If for any reason the LIBOR Based Rate is unavailable, the Floating Rate shall apply.  The rate of interest on Floating Rate Loans shall increase or decrease by an amount equal to any increase or decrease in the Prime Rate effective as of the opening of business on the day that any such change in the Prime Rate occurs.

 

2.3.2     Requests.  Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to the provisions of this 2.3, Borrower shall give Lender a written irrevocable request no later than 12:00 Noon Eastern time two (2) Business Days prior to the requested borrowing date specifying (i) the date the LIBOR Based Rate shall apply (which shall be a Business Day), and (ii) the amount to be subject to the LIBOR Based Rate provided that such amount shall be an integral multiple of $100,000.

2.3.3     LIBOR Interest Periods. LIBOR Rate Loans shall be for the LIBOR Interest Period during which the LIBOR Based Rate is applicable; provided, however, that if the LIBOR Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which shall not be a Business Day, such LIBOR Interest Period shall be extended to the next preceding or succeeding Business Day as is customary in the market to which such LIBOR Rate Loan relates.  All accrued and unpaid interest on a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be paid monthly in accordance with 2.8.  Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, no LIBOR Interest Period with respect to any of the Revolving Credit Loans may end after the Maturity Date and such Loans shall accrue interest at the Floating Rate from the end of last LIBOR Interest Period until the Maturity Date.  LIBOR Rate Loans shall automatically be extended and renewed as of the last day of the LIBOR Interest Period to a new LIBOR Rate Loan.

 

2.3.4     Adjustments.  The Adjusted LIBOR Rate may be automatically adjusted by Lender on a prospective basis to take into account the increased costs of the Lender in making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder due to changes in applicable law or regulation or the interpretation thereof occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable LIBOR Interest Period, including but not limited to, changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor or other applicable governing body), excluding the Reserve Percentage and any Reserve which has resulted in a payment pursuant to 2.7 below, that increase the cost to Lender of funding the LIBOR Rate Loan.  Lender shall promptly give Borrower notice of such a determination and adjustment, which determination shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness of the fact and the amount of such adjustment and shall be binding on Borrower absent manifest error.

 

2.3.5     Unavailability.  If Lender shall have reasonably determined, in good faith, that Eurodollar deposits equal to the amount of the principal of the requested LIBOR Rate Loan and for the LIBOR Interest Period specified are unavailable, or that the rate based on the Adjusted LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate applicable to the specified LIBOR Interest Period, of making or maintaining the principal amount of the requested LIBOR Rate Loan during the LIBOR Interest Period specified, or that by reason  of circumstances affecting Eurodollar markets, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the rate based on the Adjusted LIBOR Rate applicable to the specified LIBOR Interest Period, Lender shall promptly give notice of such determination to Borrower that the rate based on the Adjusted LIBOR Rate is not available.  A determination, in good faith, by Lender hereunder shall, absent manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the correctness of the fact and amount of such additional costs or unavailability.  Upon such a determination, the portion of the Loans subject to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall accrue interest at the Floating Rate.

 

2.3.6     Illegality.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, if any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof after the date hereof by any governmental authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, then, by written notice to Borrower, Lender may: (i) declare that LIBOR Rate Loans will not thereafter be made by Lender hereunder, whereupon Borrower shall be prohibited from requesting LIBOR Rate Loans from Lender hereunder unless such declaration is subsequently withdrawn; and (ii) if unlawful to be so maintained, require that all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans made by it be converted to Floating Rate Loans, in which event (x) all such LIBOR Rate Loans shall be automatically converted to Floating Rate Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in the sentence below and (y) all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the converted LIBOR Rate Loans shall instead be applied to repay the Floating Rate Loans resulting from the conversion of such LIBOR Rate Loans.  For purposes of this Paragraph 2.3.6, a notice to Borrower by Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall be effective, if lawful, on the last day of the then current LIBOR Interest Period; in all other cases, such notice shall be effective on the day of receipt by Borrower.

2.3.7     Capital Adequacy.  If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation after the date hereof or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (where or not having the force of law) issued after the date hereof (each a “Change of Law”), there shall be any increase in the cost to Lender of making, funding, or maintaining Loans, then Borrower shall, from time to time, upon Lender’s demand, pay to Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate Lender for such increased cost.   In addition, if Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the date hereof affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Lender or any corporation controlling Lender and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of loans hereunder, then, upon Lender’s demand, Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender, from time to time as specified by Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances to the extent that Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of loans hereunder.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Lender for any increased costs or increased capital incurred more than ninety (90) days prior to the date that the Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or increased capital and of Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

 

2.4          Computation of Interest and Fees. Unless otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, interest and all fees shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days.

 

2.5          Reimbursement of Expenses.  If, at any time or times regardless of whether or not an Event of Default then exists, any Lender incurs reasonable out-of-pocket legal or accounting expenses or any other reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses in connection with (a) the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, modification, replacement or termination of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents that has been requested by Borrower; (b) the administration of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, except for those certain costs incurred in connection with disputes by and among the Lenders; (c) any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by any Lender, Borrower or any other Person) in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or Borrower’s affairs (except to the extent any such cost or expense arises from such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or related to any dispute among Lenders); or (d) any attempt to enforce any rights of any Lender against Borrower or any other Person which may be obligated to such Lender by virtue of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, then all such costs and expenses shall be charged to Borrower.  All amounts chargeable to Borrower under this Section shall be payable promptly after demand by the Lender therefore, which demand shall include a reasonably detailed invoice therefore, and shall bear interest from the date 10 business days after such demand is made until paid in full at the Floating Rate applicable to the Loans from time to time.

2.6          Loan Requests.  A request for a Loan shall be made, or shall be deemed to be made, by Borrower in the following manner:   Borrower shall give Lender telephonic notice, to be promptly confirmed in writing on the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, of each borrowing and each prepayment of a Loan (a “Borrowing Notice”) which borrowing and prepayment shall be made pro-rata based on each Lender’s Commitment Percentage, together with a Borrowing Base Certificate. Each Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by Lender no later than 12:00 Noon New York City time, on the date which is at least two (2) Business Days, prior to the date of such borrowing or prepayment of the Loan designated in the Borrowing Notice.  Each such Borrowing Notice shall specify (a) the amount to be borrowed or prepaid; (b) the date of such borrowing or prepayment (which shall be a Business Day); and (c) the purpose of the Loan. 

 

2.7          Maturity; Maximum Revolving Credit Obligations; Prepayments.

 

2.7.1     All Revolving Credit Loans shall be due and payable, if not required to be paid earlier pursuant to this Agreement, on March 31, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

2.7.2     At no time shall the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding exceed the lesser of (i) the amount of the Commitment and (ii) the Borrowing Base.  In the event that for any reason, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans exceeds such amount, Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to an amount not greater than the lesser of (i) the amount of the Commitment and (ii) the Borrowing Base.  Any such prepayment shall be made with interest accrued to the date of prepayment and be subject to the indemnity agreement set forth in 2.72.7.7.

 

2.7.3     Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment within three (3) Business Days after the same becomes due, subject to the indemnity agreement set forth in 2.72.7.7, of the principal amount of the Loans outstanding:

 

  (1)       upon the sale or other disposition by the Borrower or any Guarantor of any Property for which the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans were used to purchase such Property (and to the extent such loan remains unpaid) equal to the lesser of (i) the full net proceeds of such sale or other disposition or (ii) the amount necessary to pay such loan in full;

 

  (2)       upon the mortgage or refinance of such mortgage of any Property for which the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans were used to purchase or refinance such Property equal to the lesser of (i) the net proceeds of such mortgage or refinance of such mortgage; or (ii) amount necessary to pay such loan in full; and

 

  (3)       upon the mortgage of any Unencumbered Property equal to the net proceeds of such mortgage.

2.7.4     Subject to the delivery of a Borrowing Notice pursuant to 2.6 and to the indemnity agreement set forth in 2.72.7.7 hereof with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, but otherwise without premium or penalty, Borrower shall have the right to prepay any Loan at any time and from time to time in whole or in part; provided, however, that (x) any such prepayment shall be in an amount not less than such amounts as provided in 2.72.7.6 hereof; and (y) any such prepayment of a Loan shall be made with interest accrued on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment.

 

2.7.5     Except as set forth in 2.3.5and 2.3.6 hereof, and except  as may be otherwise expressly directed by Borrower provided no Event of Default exists or is continuing, all payments and repayments made pursuant to the terms hereof shall be applied first to Floating Rate Loans permitted under the terms of this Agreement, and shall be applied to LIBOR Rate Loans only to the extent any such payment exceeds the principal amount of Floating Rate Loans outstanding at the time of such payment.

 

2.7.6     Except for borrowings which exhaust the full remaining amount of the Commitment or prepayments which result in the prepayment of all LIBOR Rate Loans and/or all Floating Rate Loans, each borrowing and prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000.00, and each borrowing and prepayment of a Floating Rate Loan, to the extent permitted under this Agreement, shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000.00 and in increased integral multiples of $10,000.00.

 

2.7.7     Indemnity; Yield Protection.  Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender against any loss (each a “Loss”) or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses which Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) the receipt or recovery by Lender whether by voluntary prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, of all or any part of a LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of any LIBOR Interest Period applicable to such Loan, (b) the conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan prior to the last day of any LIBOR Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, (c) the failure to borrow any LIBOR Rate Loan after agreement shall have been reached with respect to the LIBOR Interest Period therefor, or (d) any failure by Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified by Borrower’s written notice.  The Borrower shall pay to Lender a yield maintenance fee (the “yield maintenance fee”) as payment in full in respect of each such Loss, if any, computed as follows:  The current rate for United States Treasury securities (bills on a discounted basis shall be converted to a bond equivalent) with a maturity date closest to the maturity date of the term chosen pursuant to the LIBOR Interest Period as to which the prepayment is made, shall be subtracted from the “Cost of Funds” component of the fixed rate in effect at the time of prepayment.  If the result is zero or a negative number, there shall be no yield maintenance fee.  If the result is a positive number, then the resulting percentage shall be multiplied by the amount of the principal balance being prepaid.  The resulting amount shall be divided by 360 and multiplied by the number of days remaining in the term chosen pursuant to the LIBOR Interest Period as to which the prepayment is made.  Said amount shall be reduced to present value calculated by using the number of days remaining in the designated term and using the above-referenced United States Treasury security rate and the number of days remaining in the term chosen pursuant to the LIBOR Interest Period as to which the prepayment is made.  The resulting amount shall be the yield maintenance fee due to Lender upon prepayment of the LIBOR Rate Loan.  “Cost of Funds” as used herein means with respect to any such LIBOR Rate Loan the Adjusted LIBOR Rate applicable thereto.  If by reason of an Event of Default hereunder, Lender elects to declare the Loans to be immediately due and payable, then any yield maintenance fee with respect to the Loans shall become due and payable in the same manner as though Borrower had been granted and had exercised a right of prepayment.

2.7.8     All prepayments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage.

 

2.8           Payments.

 

2.8.1     All payments by the Borrower hereunder or under the Note shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds by wire transfer or intra-Bank credit from accounts of the Borrower by 2:00 P.M. New York City time on the date on which such payment shall be due.  Interest on the Notes shall accrue from and including the date of each Loan to but excluding the date on which such Loan is paid in full.

 

2.8.2     Except as provided in the following sentence, accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each month until the maturity of such Loan or the payment or prepayment thereof in full.  Interest at the Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand of Lender, if applicable.

 

2.8.3     All items of payment received by Lender by 2:00 P.M. Eastern time, on any Business Day shall be deemed received on that Business Day.  All items of payment received after 2:00 P.M. Eastern time, on any Business Day shall be deemed received on the following Business Day.  Until payment in full of all Obligations and termination of this Agreement, Borrower irrevocably waives (except as otherwise expressly provided for by Lender) the right to direct the application of any and all payments and collections at any time or times hereafter received by Lender from or on behalf of Borrower, and Borrower does hereby irrevocably agree that Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and collections received at any time or times hereafter by Lender or its agent against the Obligations, in such manner as Lender may reasonably deem advisable, notwithstanding any entry by Lender upon any of its books and records, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

 

2.8.4     All payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage.

 

2.9          Required Balances.  The Borrower and/or Guarantors and/or their respective Affiliates shall maintain annual average collected deposit balances of at least ten percent (10%) of the average outstanding annual principal balance of the Note with each Lender (the “Required Balances”).  In the event that the Borrower and/or Guarantors and/or their respective Affiliates maintain the collected demand deposit balances with each Lender in accordance with Schedule 2.9, the remainder of the Required Balances requirement may be met with money market accounts and certificates of deposit (balances held in certificates of deposit will be calculated at 50% of their face value and money market accounts at 100% at their face value).  In the event that the Borrower and/or the Guarantors and/or their respective Affiliates fail to maintain such Required Balances, as sole remedy for such failure, the Borrower shall pay to each Lender a deficiency fee equal to four percent (4%) per annum of the difference between the Required Balances and the actual balances maintained by the Borrower and/or the Guarantors and/or their respective Affiliates, payable on each anniversary of the date of this Agreement in arrears.

 

 

2.10        Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be used for (i)  the acquisition of a Property; (ii) the repayment (in whole or in part) of existing mortgage debt on a Property; or (iii) Renovation/Operating Expense Loans which will not exceed the lesser of 15% of the Borrowing Base and $6,000,000.  No part of the proceeds of any Loan may be used for any purpose that directly or indirectly violates or is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulations T, U or X.

 

2.11        Unused Facility Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender from the date of this Agreement and for so long as the Commitment remains outstanding, on July 1, 2010 and on the first Business Day of each October 1, June 1, April 1, and July 1 thereafter, an unused facility fee equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over 360 days) on the average daily unused amount of the Commitment (the “Unused Facility Fee”), such Unused Facility Fee being payable for the three month period, or part thereof, preceding the payment date.

 

2.12        Reduction of Commitment.  Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ written notice to Lender, the Borrower may irrevocably elect to have the unused Commitment terminated in whole or reduced in part without penalty or premium provided, however, that any such partial reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $250,000.00 or whole multiples thereof and shall be allocated to each Lender based on its Commitment Percentage.  The Commitment, once terminated or reduced, shall not be reinstated without the express written approval of the Lender.

 

2.13        Authorization to Debit Borrower’s Account.  Each Lender is hereby authorized to debit the Borrower’s account maintained with such Lender and in the case of VNB, the account of Borrower maintained with Valley National Bank, for (i) all scheduled payments of principal and/or interest under the Note, and (ii) the Unused Facility Fee, deficiency fee, and all other fees and amounts due hereunder; all such debits to be made on the days such payments are due in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

2.14        Late Charges, Default Interest.

 

2.14.1     If the Borrower shall default in the payment of any principal installment (other than the final payment of principal due on the Maturity Date) of or interest on any Loan or any other amount becoming due hereunder, the Borrower shall pay a late payment charge equal to four (4%) percent of such defaulted payment.

2.14.2     Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay interest on all amounts owing under the Note and this Agreement (after as well as before judgment) at the Default Rate.

2.15        Interest Adjustments.  If the provisions of this Agreement or the Note would at any time require payment by the Borrower to the Lender of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount then permitted by applicable law, the interest payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that the Lender shall not receive interest in excess of such maximum amount. To the extent that, pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Lender shall receive interest payments hereunder or under the Note in an amount less than the amount otherwise provided, such deficit (hereinafter called the “Interest Deficit”) will cumulate and will be carried forward (without interest) until the termination of this Agreement.  Interest otherwise payable to the Lender hereunder or under the Note for any subsequent period shall be increased by such maximum amount of the Interest Deficit that may be so added without causing the Lender to receive interest in excess of the maximum amount then permitted by applicable law.

2.16         Participations, Etc.  Each Lender shall have the right at any time, with or without notice to the Borrower, to sell, assign, transfer or negotiate all or any part of the Note or the Commitment or grant participations therein to one or more banks (foreign or domestic, including an affiliate of the Lender) having sufficient capital to honor the Commitment, insurance companies or other regulated financial institutions, pension funds or mutual funds.  The Borrower and each of the Guarantors agrees and consents to each Lender providing financial and other information regarding its and their business and operations to prospective purchasers or participants and further agree that to the extent that any Lender should sell, assign, transfer or negotiate all or any part of the Note or the Commitment, such Lender shall be forever released and discharged from its obligations under the Note, the Commitment and this Agreement to the extent same is sold, assigned, transferred or negotiated to any commercial bank, insurance company or other regulated financial institution, pension fund or mutual fund organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof and having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000,000.00 and such assignee assumes the obligations pursuant to this Agreement and agrees to the terms hereof.  Nothing herein shall be read or construed as prohibiting or otherwise limiting the ability or right of each Lender to pledge the Note to a Federal Reserve Bank.
