PAYMENTS, ADDITIONAL COSTS, ETC.

4.2           Late Payments. If any scheduled payment, whether principal, interest or principal and interest, is late ten (10) days or more, Borrower agrees to pay a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of the payment which is late, but not more than the maximum amount allowed by applicable Laws. The foregoing provision shall not be deemed to excuse a late payment or be deemed a waiver of any other rights Bank may have under this Agreement, including, subject to the terms hereof, the right to declare the entire unpaid principal and interest immediately due and payable.

 

4.3

Payment to Bank. Except as provided in Section 8.1(U):

(A)          All sums payable to Bank under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document shall be paid directly to Bank in immediately available funds or by good check at the Place for Payment. If Bank shall send Borrower statements of amounts due hereunder, such statements shall be considered correct and conclusively binding on Borrower unless Borrower notifies Bank to the contrary within thirty (30) days of its receipt of any statement which it deems to be incorrect. Alternatively, at its discretion, Bank may charge against any deposit account of Borrower all or any part of any amount owed by Borrower hereunder.

(B)          All payments to be made by Borrower hereunder will be made to Bank not later than 1:00 p.m. at the Place for Payment. Payments received after 1:00 p.m. at the Place for Payment shall be deemed to be

 



 

payments made prior to 1:00 p.m. at the Place for Payment on the next succeeding Business Day. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to charge its accounts with Bank in order to cause timely payment of amounts due hereunder to be made (subject to sufficient funds being available in such account for that purpose).

(C)          At the time of making each such payment, Borrower shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, specify to Bank the Loan or other obligation of Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. In the event that Borrower fails to so specify the relevant Loan or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Bank may apply such payments as it may determine in its discretion.

4.4           Prepayment. Borrower may pre-pay any Loan in full or, from time to time, in part, without premium or penalty. In the case of any partial prepayment, Bank shall have the right to require and shall permit the remaining principal balance to be re-amortized over the remaining term of the applicable Loan. All partial prepayments, whether voluntary or mandatory, shall (except as may be directed by Borrower to the contrary) be applied against the next principal payment of the applicable Loan next coming due and in the inverse order of maturity, and no prepayment shall entitle Borrower to cease making any payment as otherwise scheduled hereunder.

4.5           No Setoff or Deduction. All payments of principal and interest on the Loans and other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be made by Borrower without setoff or counterclaim, and, subject to the next succeeding sentence, free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments, or other charges of whatever nature, imposed by any Governmental Authority. If any such taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges are imposed, Borrower will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary so that payment of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder, after withholding or deduction for or on account thereof, will not be less than any amount provided to be paid hereunder and, in any such case, Borrower will furnish to Bank certified copies of all tax receipts evidencing the payment of such amounts within 30 days after the date any such payment is due pursuant to applicable Laws.

4.6           Payment on Non-Business Day; Payment Computations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement to the contrary, whenever any installment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or other amount due hereunder becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any installment of principal, interest shall be payable thereon at the rate per annum determined in accordance with this Agreement during such extension.

4.7           Additional Costs. In the event that any applicable Law now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently applicable to Bank, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any guideline, request or directive of any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall (i) affect the basis of taxation of payments to Bank of any amounts payable by Borrower under this Agreement (other than taxes imposed on the income of Bank), or (ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by Bank, or (iii) impose any other condition with respect to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the Loans, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank of making, funding or maintaining the Loans or to reduce the amount of any sum receivable by Bank thereon, then Borrower shall pay to Bank from time to time, upon request by Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate Bank for such increased cost or reduced sum receivable to the extent Bank is not compensated therefor in the computation of the Interest Rate applicable to the Loans. A written statement as to the amount of such increased cost or reduced sum receivable, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank and submitted by Bank to Borrower, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error in computation.

4.8           Illegality and Impossibility. In the event that any applicable Law now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently applicable to Bank, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any guideline, request or directive of such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), including without limitation exchange controls, shall make it unlawful or impossible for Bank to maintain any Loan under this Agreement, Borrower shall upon receipt of notice thereof from Bank repay in full the then outstanding principal amount of such Loan, together with all accrued interest thereon to the date of payment and all amounts owing to such Bank, (a) on the last day of the then current interest period applicable to such Loan if such Bank may lawfully

 



 

continue to maintain such Loan to such day, or (b) immediately if Bank may not continue to maintain such Loan to such day.

4.9           Indemnification. If Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Loan on any other date than the last day of a LIBOR Rate Interest Period applicable thereto, or if Borrower fails to borrow any Loan after notice has been given to Bank in accordance with this Agreement, or if Borrower fails to make any payment of principal or interest in respect of any Loan when due, Borrower shall reimburse Bank on demand for all Indemnified Losses incurred by Bank, including without limitation any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from a Third Party, whether or not Bank shall have funded or committed to fund such Loan. A written statement as to the amount of such loss or expense, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank and submitted by Bank to Borrower, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error in computation. Calculation of all amounts payable to Bank under this Section shall be made as though Bank shall have actually funded or committed to fund the applicable Loan through the purchase of an underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such Loan in the relevant market and having a maturity comparable to the related interest period and through the transfer of such deposit to a domestic office of such Bank in the United States; provided, however, that Bank may fund the Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the purpose of calculation of amounts payable under this Section.

4.10         360-Day Year. All interest payable under the Notes shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day Year by multiplying the outstanding principal amount by the applicable per annum rate, multiplying the product thereof by the actual number of days elapsed, and dividing the product so obtained by 360.

4.11         No Requirement to Actually Obtain Funds. Notwithstanding the fact that the Interest Rate pursuant to the Loans may be calculated based upon Bank's cost of funds, Borrower agrees that Bank shall not be required actually to obtain funds from such source at any time.

4.12         Usury Limitation. If, at any time, the Interest Rate payable on any Loan shall be deemed by any competent court of law or any Governmental Authority to exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted by any applicable Laws, then, for such time as the Interest Rate would be deemed excessive, its application shall be suspended and there shall be charged instead the maximum rate of interest permissible under such Laws, and any excess interest actually collected by Bank shall be credited as a partial prepayment of principal.

8.3

Insurance and Condemnation Covenants.

(A)          Borrower Party will obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained, at all times while Borrower is indebted to Bank, at Borrower Party's sole expense: (a) the Title Insurance Policies; (b) the insurance as required under the Wawa Leases; and (c) such other insurance on the Mortgaged Property as may from time to time be required by Bank and against other insurable hazards or casualties which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of premises similarly situated, due regard being given to the height, type, construction, location, use and occupancy of buildings and improvements. All insurance policies shall be issued and maintained by insurers, in amounts, with deductibles, and in form satisfactory to Bank, and shall require not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Bank of any cancellation or change of coverage. All insurance policies maintained, or caused to be maintained, by Borrower Party with respect to the Mortgaged Property, except for public liability insurance, shall provide that each such policy shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be carried by Borrower Party or Bank and that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured. If any insurer which has issued a policy of title, hazard, liability or other insurance required pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document becomes insolvent or the subject of any Bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding or if in Bank's opinion the financial responsibility of such insurer is or becomes inadequate, Borrower Party shall, in each instance promptly upon the request of Bank and at Borrower Party's expense, obtain and deliver to Bank a like policy (or, if and to the extent permitted by Bank, a certificate of insurance) issued by another insurer, which insurer and policy meet the requirements of this Agreement or such other Loan Documents, as the case may be. Without limiting the discretion of Bank with respect to required endorsements to insurance policies, all such policies for loss of or damage to the Mortgaged Property shall contain a standard mortgagee clause (without contribution) naming Bank as mortgagee with loss proceeds payable to Bank, subject to the terms of the Wawa Leases. The originals of each initial insurance policy (or to the extent permitted by Bank, a copy of the original policy and a satisfactory certificate of insurance) shall be delivered to Bank at the time of execution of this Agreement, with premiums fully paid, and each renewal or substitute policy (or certificate) shall be delivered to Bank, with premiums fully paid, at least ten (10) days before the termination of the policy it renews or replaces. Borrower Party shall pay or cause to be paid all premiums on policies required hereunder as they become due and payable and promptly deliver to Bank evidence satisfactory to Bank of the timely payment thereof. In the event Borrower fails to provide, maintain, keep in force or deliver and furnish to Bank the insurance required by this Section, Bank may procure such insurance or single-interest insurance for such risks covering Bank's interest, and Borrower Party will pay all premiums thereon promptly upon demand by Bank. Until such payment is made by Borrower Party, the amount of all such premiums shall be added to and become part of the Obligations. If any loss occurs at any time when Borrower Party has failed to perform Borrower Party's covenants and agreements in this Section, Bank shall nevertheless be entitled to the benefit of all insurance covering the loss and held by or for Borrower, to the same extent as if it had been made payable to Bank (subject to the terms of the Wawa Leases). Upon any foreclosure of a Mortgage or transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment of the whole or any part of the Loans or any other amounts owing by Borrower Party to Bank, all of Borrower Party's Interest in and to the insurance policies referred to in this Section (including unearned premiums) and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at foreclosure or other such transferee, to the extent permissible under such policies, and Bank is hereby irrevocably

 



 

appointed by Borrower Party as attorney-in-fact for Borrower Party to assign any such policy to said purchaser or other such transferee without accounting to Borrower Party for any unearned premiums thereon. Bank shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make proof of loss for, settle and adjust any claim under, and receive the proceeds of, all insurance for loss of or damage to the Mortgaged Property, and the expenses incurred by Bank in the adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall be added to and become part of the Obligations and shall be due and payable to Bank on demand. Bank shall not be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect or exercise diligence in the collection of any of such proceeds or for the obtaining, maintaining or adequacy of any insurance or for failure to see to the proper application of any amount paid over to Borrower Party. Any such proceeds received by Bank shall be applied and disbursed as provided in this Agreement. Borrower Party appoints Bank as Borrower Party's attorney-in-fact to cause the issuance of or an endorsement of any policy and to otherwise bring Borrower Party into compliance with the provisions of this Section and to make any claim for, receive payment for, and execute and endorse any documents, checks or other instruments in payment for loss, theft, or damage under any such insurance policy.

(B)          Subject to the provisions of the immediately succeeding paragraph, after deducting from any casualty insurance proceeds all of its expenses incurred in the collection and administration of such sums, including Attorneys' Fees, Bank shall apply the same at its option (i) to the payment of the Obligations, whether or not due and in whatever order Bank elects, (in which case a portion of or the entire Obligations shall, at Bank's option, immediately become due and payable), (ii) to the repair and/or restoration of the Improvements, or (iii) for any other purposes or objects for which Bank is entitled to advance funds under any Loan Document, all without affecting any Lien created by any Security Document, and any balance of such monies then remaining shall be paid to Borrower Party or the Person lawfully entitled thereto. Bank shall not be held responsible for any failure to collect any insurance proceeds due under the terms of any policy regardless of the cause of such failure.

(C)          Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph to the contrary, Bank agrees that the proceeds of any casualty insurance or any part thereof (after deducting therefrom all of its expenses incurred in the collection and administration of such sums, including Attorneys' Fees) payable on account of loss or damage to the Improvements will be made available by Bank to be applied by Borrower Party to restoration or repair of the Improvements provided the following conditions are met:

 

(1)

There exists no Default;

(2)           Borrower Party presents sufficient evidence satisfactory to Bank that (A) the Improvements are capable of being, and will be, restored in compliance with applicable Laws to an architectural whole and to substantially the same condition and value as prior to the casualty, (B) restoration of the Improvements to an architectural whole will be completed on or before the Maturity Date, (C) there are sufficient funds from such insurance proceeds and other available monies, to completely restore or repair the Improvements to an architectural whole, as well as to maintain relevant debt service coverages and other operating expenses, and (D) Bank will not incur any liability to any other Person as a result of such use or release of insurance proceeds;

(3)           The plans and specifications for restoration or repair are approved in writing by Bank, in its discretion;

(4)           Parties having existing or expected possessory interests in the Improvements agree to continue, in a manner satisfactory to Bank, to fulfill the contract terms then in effect following the restoration or repair (including, without limitation, the payment of rent or other sums without abatement or reduction except as approved by Bank, in its discretion), or Borrower Party shall deliver security satisfactory to Bank, in its discretion, to substitute for the loss of income caused by the failure of any such possessory interest to agree to continue to fulfill the contract terms then in effect following restoration or repair;

(5)           All parties having operating, management or franchise interests in, and arrangements concerning, the Improvements, if any, are contractually obligated to continue their interests and arrangements for the contract terms then in effect following the restoration or repair;

 

 



 

 

(6)           All parties having commitments to provide financing with respect to the Improvements, to purchase Borrower Party's Interest in full or in part in the Improvements, or to purchase the Loans, agree in a manner satisfactory to Bank that their commitments will continue in full force and effect and, if necessary, the expiration of such commitments will be extended by the time necessary to complete the restoration or repair; and

(7)           Borrower Party shall enter into such agreements and deliver such other documents and other things as may be required by Bank in connection with the disbursement of all such proceeds.

If the foregoing conditions are satisfied within ninety (90) days of the date of loss, then the insurance proceeds shall be held by Bank and, after deducting from said insurance proceeds all of its expenses incurred in the collection and administration of such sums, including Attorneys’ Fees, Bank shall disburse the net insurance proceeds to or on behalf of Borrower Party (pursuant to a procedure satisfactory to Bank) as repair or restoration progresses and to the extent such proceeds are required to defray the expenses of such restoration or repair; and to the extent any such proceeds are not required to defray the expenses of such restoration or repair, Bank may, at its option, apply any such unused proceeds as provided for in the immediately preceding paragraph (B) of this Section. At all times during such restoration or repair, Borrower Party shall deposit with Bank funds which, when added to insurance proceeds on deposit with Bank, are sufficient to complete the restoration or repair of the Improvements to an architectural whole, as determined by Bank, in Bank's discretion, in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and all applicable Laws.

If the conditions set forth in clauses (1) through (7) of this Section are not satisfied within ninety (90) days of the date of loss, then the insurance proceeds may be applied as provided for in the immediately preceding paragraph (B) of this Section.

If all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property shall be damaged or taken through condemnation (which term shall include any damage or taking by any Governmental Authority and any transfer by private sale in lieu thereof), either temporarily or permanently, other than an insubstantial taking which does not adversely affect access or the use of the Mortgaged Property for its intended purposes, then a portion of or the entire Obligations shall, at the option of Bank, immediately become due and payable. Borrower Party, immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution, or the proposed, contemplated or threatened institution of any action or proceeding for the taking through condemnation of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof will notify Bank, and Bank is hereby authorized, at its option, to commence, appear in and prosecute, through counsel selected by Bank, in its own or in Borrower Party's name, any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation. Borrower Party may compromise or settle any claim for compensation, but shall not make any compromise or settlement for an award unless all of the Obligations are paid and satisfied in full, without the prior written consent of Bank. All such compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds and the right thereto are hereby assigned by Borrower Party to Bank, and Bank is authorized, at its option, to collect and receive all such compensation, awards or damages and to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor without any obligation to question the amount of any such compensation, awards or damages. After deducting from said condemnation proceeds all of its expenses incurred in the collection and administration of such sums, including Attorneys’ Fees, the net proceeds shall be dealt with by Bank in accordance with, and subject to, the same terms and conditions as set forth in Paragraph (B) of this Section, as if the condemnation proceeds were insurance proceeds and as if the date the condemnation proceeds become payable to Borrower Party was the date of loss. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as Wawa maintains insurance coverage or self-insures in accordance with the terms of the Wawa Leases and Wawa maintains a consolidated net worth determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of not less than $150,000,000, Borrower Parties shall not be required to maintain insurance in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.3. In addition, for so long as the Wawa Leases are in effect, the disposition of casualty and condemnation proceeds shall be governed by the Wawa Leases.

 

8.4

Assigned Document Covenants.

(A)          Except as may otherwise be expressly provided for in this Agreement, Borrower Party shall (a) observe and perform all the obligations imposed upon Borrower Party under each Assigned Document in the Ordinary Course of Business; (b) not do, or permit to be done, anything to impair the security of any Assigned Document; (c) promptly send to Bank copies of each notice of default which Borrower Party shall send or receive under the Assigned Documents; (d) enforce the performance and observance of the provisions of each Assigned

 



 

Document in the Ordinary Course of Business; (e) not collect any of the Rents in violation of the terms of this Agreement; (f) not subordinate any Assigned Document to any Lien, or permit, consent, or agree to any such subordination without the prior written consent of Bank; (g) not alter, modify or change the terms of any Assigned Document, nor give any consent to exercise any option required or permitted by such terms, without the prior written consent of Bank in each such case; (h) not cancel or terminate any Assigned Document, or accept a surrender of any Assigned Document; (i) not convey or transfer, nor suffer or permit a conveyance or transfer of, the Mortgaged Property, or of any interest in the Mortgaged Property, so as to affect, directly or indirectly, approximately or remotely, a merger of the estates and rights of, or a termination or diminution of the obligations of any other party to and under any Assigned Lease; (j) not alter, modify or change the terms of any guaranty of any Assigned Document, and not cancel or terminate any such guaranty, without the prior written consent of Bank in each such case; (k) not consent to any assignment of, or subletting under, any Assigned Lease without the prior written consent of Bank; (l) at Bank's request, execute any reasonable documentation confirming the assignment and transfer to Bank of each Assigned Document; and (m) execute and deliver, at the request of Bank, all other further assurances, confirmations and assignments in the Assigned Documents as Bank shall, from time to time, reasonably require in order to evidence or secure the rights of Bank hereunder.

(B)          Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, so long as there shall not exist any Default, Borrower Party shall have the right to continue to exercise all its rights and perform its obligations under and as provided for in the Assigned Documents (including the license and right to collect each payment of Rents at the time provided in the applicable Assigned Lease for such payment), provided that the same is exercised in Borrower Party's Ordinary Course of Business and does not give rise to a Material Adverse Change or any other Default under this Agreement.

8.5           Escrow Deposits. At the option of Bank and further to secure the payment of taxes, assessments, other charges, and insurance premiums applicable or attributable to the Mortgaged Property, Borrowers shall upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the request of Bank deposit with Bank, on the first day of each month, such amounts as, in the estimation of Bank, shall be necessary to pay such taxes, assessments, charges and premiums as they become due; said deposits to be held and to be used by Bank to pay such taxes, assessments, charges and premiums as the same accrue and are payable. Payment from said sums for said purposes shall be made by Bank at its discretion and may be made even though such payments will benefit subsequent owners of the Mortgaged Property. Said deposits shall not be, nor be deemed to be, trust funds, but may be, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, commingled with the general funds of Bank, and no interest shall be payable in respect thereof. If said deposits are insufficient to pay the taxes and assessments, insurance premiums and other charges in full as the same become payable, Borrowers will deposit with Bank such additional sum or sums as may be required in order for Bank to pay such taxes and assessments, insurance premiums and other charges in full. Upon any Event of Default, Bank may, at its option, apply any money in the fund relating from said deposits to the payment of the Obligations in such manner as it may elect.

8.6           General Covenants and Agreements Pertaining to the Collateral. Each Borrower Party covenants and agrees that:

(A)          Bank may correct any and all patent errors in this Agreement or any financing statements or other documents executed in connection herewith; provided, however, that Bank shall provide written notice to Borrower Parties of any such correction.

(B)          Promptly after Borrower Party's learning thereof, Borrower Party shall inform Bank in writing of any material delay or default in Borrower Party's performance of any of its obligations under any Assigned Document, if such delay or default may give rise a Material Adverse Change.

8.7           Visitation. Borrower Party agrees to permit representatives of Bank from time to time to visit and inspect the Collateral, all Records related thereto, the premises upon which any of the Collateral is located; to examine the assets, books of account, and Records of Borrower Party; to discuss the affairs and finances of Borrower Party with and be advised as to the same by the officers thereof; and to verify the amount, quantity, value and condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral, all at such reasonable times and intervals as Bank may desire.

 

 



 

 

8.8           Filing Fees and Taxes. Borrowers covenant and agree to pay all recording and filing fees, revenue stamps, taxes and other expenses and charges payable in connection with the execution and delivery to Bank of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the recording, filing, satisfaction, continuation and release of any financing statements or other instruments filed or recorded in connection herewith or therewith.

8.9           8.10       Underlying Documentation. Borrower Party covenants and agrees that Borrower Party will, upon the request therefor by Bank, promptly deliver possession to Bank of any or all of the Assigned Documents.

8.11         Further Assurances. Borrower Party covenants and agrees that, at Borrower Party's cost and expense, upon request of Bank, Borrower Party shall duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, to Bank such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts as may be necessary or proper in the opinion of Bank or its counsel to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

In connection with the foregoing, Borrower Party hereby authorizes and directs each party to any Assigned Document, upon receipt from Bank of written notice to the effect that an Event of Default exists, to perform all of its obligations under the Assigned Document as directed by Bank, and to continue to do as so directed until otherwise notified by Bank.

9.5           Right of Set-Off. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Bank may, and is hereby authorized by Borrower Party, at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, and Without Notice, set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and any other indebtedness at any time owing by Bank to, or for the credit or the account of, Borrower Party against any or all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Obligations have matured and irrespective of whether Bank has exercised any other rights that it has or may have with respect to such Obligations, including without limitation any acceleration rights. The aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by Bank against Borrower Party or against any trustee in Bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of the creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of Borrower Party, or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have been exercised by Bank prior to the making, filing or issuance, or service upon Bank of, or of notice of, any such petition; assignment for the benefit of creditors; appointment or application for the appointment of a receiver; or issuance of execution, subpoena, order or warrant. Bank agrees to immediately notify Borrower Party after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of Bank under this Section are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which Bank may have.

9.6           No Limitation on Rights and Remedies. The enumeration of the powers, rights and remedies in this Article shall not be construed to limit the exercise thereof to such time as an Event of Default occurs if, under applicable Law or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Bank has any of such powers, rights and remedies regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred, and any limitation contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents as to Bank's exercise of any power, right or remedy for a period of time only during the continuance of an Event of Default shall only be applicable at such time as Bank shall have actual knowledge that such Event of Default is no longer continuing and for a reasonable time thereafter as may be necessary for Bank to cease the exercise of such powers, rights and remedies (it being expressly understood and agreed that until such time as Bank shall obtain such knowledge and after the expiration of such reasonable time, Bank shall have no liability whatsoever for the commencement of or continuing exercise of any such power, right or remedy).

9.7           Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise expressly required to the contrary by applicable Law or any other Loan Document, the net cash proceeds resulting from the exercise of any of the rights and remedies of Bank under this Agreement, after deducting all charges, expenses, costs and Attorneys' Fees relating thereto, shall be applied by Bank to the payment of the Obligations, whether due or to become due, in such order and in such proportions as Bank may elect; and Borrowers shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency.

9.8           Termination of Bank's Lien. This Agreement and any Lien granted to Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in the Collateral will not be terminated until one of Bank's officers signs a written termination or satisfaction agreement to such effect. Even if Borrower Party should pay all of the Obligations owing to Bank at any one time, Bank's Lien will continue to secure any amount Borrower Party should later owe Bank until the written termination or satisfaction agreement referred to above has been executed by Bank. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, no termination of this Agreement shall in any way affect or impair the representations, warranties, agreements, covenants, obligations, duties and Obligations of Borrower Party or the powers, rights, and remedies of Bank under this Agreement with respect to any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination, all of which shall survive such termination. In no event shall Bank be obligated to terminate any Lien granted to Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or return or release the Collateral or any portion thereof to Borrower Party (a) until payment in full of the Obligations, or (b) if Bank is obligated to extend credit to Borrower Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) so long as there is not existing a Default, Bank agrees to release the Cole WW II Mortgaged Property so long as (i) the Cole WW II Note is paid in full, and (ii) after such payment and release, the loan-to-value ratio with respect to the Cole WW IV Note and the Cole WW IV Mortgaged Property shall not exceed a ratio of sixty-two percent (62%) (and Borrower may prepay a portion of the Cole WW IV Note to satisfy such requirement); and (b) so long as there is not existing a Default, Bank agrees to release the Cole WW IV Mortgaged Property so long as (i) the Cole WW IV Note is paid in full, and

 



 

(ii) after such payment and release, the loan-to-value ratio with respect to the Cole WW II Note and the Cole WW II Mortgaged Property shall not exceed a ratio of sixty-two percent (62%) (and Borrower may prepay a portion of the Cole WW II Note to satisfy such requirement).

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1         Construction. The provisions of this Agreement shall be in addition to those of any other Loan Document and any guaranty, pledge or security agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, security deed, note or other evidence of liability given by Borrower Party to Bank to or for the benefit of, all of which shall be construed as complementary to each other, and all existing liabilities and obligations of Borrower Party to Bank and any Liens heretofore granted to or for the benefit of Bank shall, except and only to the extent expressly provided herein to the contrary, remain in full force and effect, and shall not be released, impaired, diminished, or in any other way modified or amended as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by the agreements and undertaking of Borrower contained herein and therein. Nothing herein contained shall prevent Bank from enforcing any or all other notes, guaranties, pledges or security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, or security deeds in accordance with their respective terms. In the event of a conflict between any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the provisions most favorable to Bank shall control.

10.2         Indemnity. Borrower Party hereby agrees to indemnify Bank and its officers, directors, agents, and attorneys against, and to hold Bank and all such other Persons harmless from all Indemnified Losses resulting from any representation or warranty made by Borrower Party or on Borrower Party's behalf pursuant to this Agreement having been false in any material respect when made, or resulting from Borrower Party's breach of any of the covenants set forth in this Agreement, which indemnification is in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable, or common law right or remedy Bank may have for breach of representation, warranty, statement or covenant or otherwise may have under any of the Loan Documents. This agreement of indemnity shall be a continuing agreement and shall survive payment of the Loan and termination of this Agreement.

10.3         Bank' Consent or Approval. Except where otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, in any instance where any matter or thing is required to be “satisfactory” to Bank or to Bank's “satisfaction”, or in Bank's “discretion” and/or where the approval, consent, or the exercise of Bank's judgment or discretion is otherwise required or permitted, the granting or denial of such approval or consent and the exercise of such judgment or discretion shall be (a) within the sole, but reasonable, discretion of Bank; and (b) deemed to have been given only by a specific writing intended for the purpose given and executed by Bank.

10.4         Enforcement and Waiver by Bank. Bank shall have the right at all times to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and each of other Loan Documents in strict accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, notwithstanding any conduct or custom on the part of Bank in refraining from so doing at any time or times. The failure of Bank at any time or times to enforce its rights under such provisions, strictly in accordance with the same, shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary to specific provisions of this Agreement or as having in any way or manner modified or waived the same. All rights and remedies of Bank are cumulative and concurrent and the exercise of one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release of any other right or remedy.

10.5         No Representation, Assumption, or Duty. Nothing, including any Advance or acceptance of any document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any Person by Bank. Any inspection or audit of the Collateral or the Records of Borrower Party, or the procuring of documents and financial and other information, by or on behalf of Bank shall be for Bank's protection only, and shall not constitute any assumption of responsibility by Bank with respect thereto or relieve Borrower Party of any of Borrower Party's obligations. Bank has no duty to supervise or to inspect the Mortgaged Property nor any duty of care to Borrower Party or any other Person to protect against, or inform Borrower Party or any other Person of, the existence of negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective design or construction of any improvements to the Mortgaged Property.

10.6         Expenses of Bank. Borrowers will, on demand, reimburse Bank for all expenses incurred by Bank in connection with the preparation, administration, amendment, modification or enforcement of this Agreement and

10.11       Limitation on Waiver of Notice, Etc.

10.12       Participation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Borrower Party understands and agrees that Bank may enter into participation or other agreements with Participants whereby Bank will allocate certain percentages of its commitment to them and/or assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents. Borrower Party acknowledges and agrees that, for the convenience of all parties, this Agreement is being entered into with Bank only and that its obligations under this Agreement are undertaken for the benefit of, and as an inducement to each such Participant as well as Bank, and Borrower Party hereby agrees that, at Bank's election and if consistent with the terms of any such participation or other agreement, upon notice from Bank to Borrower Party, each such Participant shall have the same rights and/or obligations as if it were an original party to this Agreement, subject only to any contrary provision in such participation or other agreement, and Borrower Party hereby grants to each such Participant, the right to set off deposit accounts maintained by Borrower Party with such Participant. Borrower Party authorizes Bank to disclose financial and other information regarding Borrower Party to Participants and potential Participants only in connection with a participation or potential participation and upon providing Borrower Party with five (5) days prior written notice thereof.
