Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of any repayment, including any prepayments of the Fixed Rate Loan, shall be applied by Lender as follows in the following order of priority: First, accrued and unpaid interest at the Fixed Rate Loan Interest Rate; Second, to the Fixed Rate Principal; and Third, to and any other amounts then due and owing under the Loan Documents with respect to the Fixed Rate Loan.

If prior to the Stated Maturity Date the Debt is accelerated by reason of an Event of Default, then Lender shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the unpaid Fixed Rate Principal and accrued interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium applicable to the portion of Principal so accelerated constituting the Fixed Rate Principal. If prior to the Stated Maturity Date the Debt is accelerated by reason of an Event of Default, then

 

18


Lender shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the unpaid Floating Rate Principal and accrued interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the Exit Fee applicable to the portion of Principal so accelerated constituting the Floating Rate Principal. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment, including any payment or recovery on the Property (whether through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, be applied in such order and in such manner (including as between the Fixed Rate Loan and the Floating Rate Loan) as Lender shall elect in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.

 

2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. The Loan is subject to mandatory prepayment in certain instances of Insured Casualty or Condemnation (each a “Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”), in the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 7.4.2 hereof. Each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment, after deducting Lender’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with the settlement or collection of the Proceeds or Award, shall be applied by Lender as follows in the following order of priority: First, accrued and unpaid interest; Second, to Principal; and Third, to and any other amounts then due and owing under the Loan Documents, but, as between the Fixed Rate Loan and the Floating Rate Loan, as Lender shall elect in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. If such Casualty/Condemnation Payment is made on any date other than a Payment Date, then such Casualty/Condemnation Payment shall include interest that would have accrued on the Principal prepaid to but not including the next Payment Date. Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, any such mandatory prepayment under this Section 2.3.2 shall be without the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium, but, in the case of any prepayment that Lender elects to apply to the Floating Rate Loan, such prepayment shall be subject to the payment of the Exit Fee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall be applied in inverse order of maturity and shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the monthly installments due under the Notes or this Agreement, or change the amounts of such installments.

2.9.4 Leasing Advances/Minimum Funding Thresholds. It is the intention of Lender and Borrower that at least $2,300,000 (the “Leasing Advance First Year Minimum Funding Threshold”) shall be requested by Borrower before February 28, 2006. If for any reason by February 28, 2006, Lender has not made Leasing Advances in an aggregate amount of at least the Leasing Advance First Year Minimum Funding Threshold, Borrower may, on February 28, 2006, at its option, request that Lender fund the amount by which the Leasing Advance First Year Minimum Funding Threshold exceeds the aggregate amount of the Leasing Advances theretofore funded by Lender prior to February 28, 2006 (the “Leasing Advance First Year Funding Shortfall”). If Borrower elects to have Lender fund the Leasing Advance First Year Funding Shortfall, Lender shall, provided each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.9.3 (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (j), (k), (m) and (n) above are satisfied, advance the Leasing Advance First Year Funding Shortfall, which amount shall be deposited into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount and thereafter be disbursed and applied in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 3.5 hereof. If Borrower fails to satisfy any one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.9.3 (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (j), (k), (m) and (n) above or Borrower fails to request the Leasing Advance First Year Funding Shortfall, Borrower shall have no right to request, and Lender shall have no obligation to fund, the Leasing Advance First Year Funding Shortfall.

 

(b) It is the intention of Lender and Borrower that, if Lender exercises its first option to extend the Outside Leasing Advance Date (as described in the definition of “Outside Leasing Advance Date”), at least $3,000,000 (the “Leasing Advance Second Year Minimum Funding Threshold”) shall be requested by Borrower after February 28, 2006 but before February 27, 2007. If for any reason after February 28, 2006 and prior to February 27, 2007, Lender has not made Leasing Advances in an aggregate amount of at least the Leasing Advance Second Year Minimum Funding Threshold, Borrower may, on February 27, 2007, at its option, request that Lender fund the amount by which the Leasing Advance Second Year Minimum Funding Threshold exceeds the aggregate amount of the Leasing Advances theretofore funded by Lender after February 28, 2006 (but not including the Leasing Advance First Year Funding Shortfall, if applicable) but before February 27, 2007 (the “Leasing Advance Second Year Funding Shortfall”).

31


precedent set forth in Section 2.9.3 (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (j), (k), (m) and (n) above or Borrower fails to request the Leasing Advance Second Year Funding Shortfall, Borrower shall have no right to request, and Lender shall have no obligation to fund, the Leasing Advance Second Year Funding Shortfall. Any amounts advanced before February 28, 2006 which exceed the Leasing Advance First Year Minimum Funding Threshold shall count towards the Leasing Advance Second Year Minimum Funding Threshold.

 

(c) It is the intention of Lender and Borrower that, if Lender exercises its second option to extend the Outside Leasing Advance Date (as described in the definition of “Outside Leasing Advance Date”), at least $2,000,000 (the “Leasing Advance Third Year Minimum Funding Threshold”) shall be requested by Borrower after February 27, 2007 but before February 26, 2008. If for any reason after February 27, 2007 but before February 26, 2008, Lender has not made Leasing Advances in an aggregate amount of at least the Leasing Advance Third Year Minimum Funding Threshold, Borrower may, on February 26, 2008, at its option, request that Lender fund the amount by which the Leasing Advance Third Year Minimum Funding Threshold exceeds the aggregate amount of the Leasing Advances theretofore funded by Lender after February 27, 2007 (but not including the Leasing Advance First Year Funding Shortfall and/or the Leasing Advance Second Year Funding Shortfall, if applicable) but before February 26, 2008 (the “Leasing Advance Third Year Funding Shortfall” and together with the Leasing Advance First Year Funding Shortfall and the Leasing Advance Second Year Funding Shortfall, each a, “Leasing Advance Funding Shortfall”). If Borrower elects to have Lender fund the Leasing Advance Third Year Funding Shortfall, Lender shall, provided each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.9.3 (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (j), (k), (m) and (n) above are satisfied, advance the Leasing Advance Third Year Funding Shortfall, which amount shall be deposited into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount and thereafter be disbursed and applied in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 3.5 hereof. If Borrower fails to satisfy any one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.9.3 (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (j), (k), (m) and (n) above or Borrower fails to request the Leasing Advance Third Year Funding Shortfall, Borrower shall have no right to request, and Lender shall have no obligation to fund, the Leasing Advance Third Year Funding Shortfall. Any amounts advanced after February 28, 2006 but before February 27, 2007 which exceed the Leasing Advance Second Year Minimum Funding Threshold shall count towards the Leasing Advance Third Year Minimum Funding Threshold.

 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.9 or this Agreement, Borrower shall have no right to request, and Lender shall have no obligation to fund, any Leasing Advance after the earlier to occur of (i) February 26, 2008 and (ii) the Outside Leasing Advance Date.

 

2.9.5 Funding on the Outside Leasing Advance Date.

 

(a) If Lender does not exercise its first option (as described in the definition of “Outside Leasing Advance Date”) to extend the Outside Leasing Advance Date, then, provided no Event of Default is then continuing, and subject to Borrower’s satisfaction of conditions Section 2.9.3 (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (j), (k), (m) and (n) set forth in Section 2.9.3 above, at Borrower’s option, Lender shall make a Leasing Advance on the then-current Outside Leasing Advance Date in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) an amount requested by Borrower and (ii)

 

32


the amount by which the Maximum Leasing Advance Floating Rate Principal exceeds the then aggregate amount of Leasing Advances theretofore made by Lender (the “Borrower’s First Optional Final Leasing Advance”). Lender shall cause such amount to be transferred to the Rollover Reserve Subaccount to be disbursed and applied in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 3.5 hereof. If Borrower does not exercise the option set forth in this clause (a), Lender shall have no obligation to make any further Leasing Advances. If Borrower elects to receive an amount less than the amount by which the Maximum Leasing Advance Floating Rate Principal exceeds the then aggregate amount of Leasing Advances theretofore made by Lender as contemplated pursuant to the previous sentence, Lender shall have no further obligation to make any further Leasing Advances.

 

(b) If Lender does exercise its first option (as described in the definition of “Outside Leasing Advance Date”) to extend the Outside Leasing Advance Date but does not exercise its second option (as described in the definition of “Outside Leasing Advance Date”) to extend the Outside Leasing Advance Date, then, provided no Event of Default is then continuing, and subject to Borrower’s satisfaction of conditions Section 2.9.3 (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (j), (k), (m) and (n) set forth in Section 2.9.3 above, at Borrower’s option, Lender shall make a Leasing Advance on the then-current Outside Leasing Advance Date in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) an amount requested by Borrower and (ii) the amount by which the Maximum Leasing Advance Floating Rate Principal exceeds the then aggregate amount of Leasing Advances theretofore made by Lender (the “Borrower’s Second Optional Final Leasing Advance”). Lender shall cause such amount to be transferred to the Rollover Reserve Subaccount to be disbursed and applied in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 3.5 hereof. If Borrower does not exercise the option set forth in this clause (a), Lender shall have no obligation to make any further Leasing Advances. If Borrower elects to receive an amount less than the amount by which the Maximum Leasing Advance Floating Rate Principal exceeds the then aggregate amount of Leasing Advances theretofore made by Lender as contemplated pursuant to the previous sentence, Lender shall have no further obligation to make any further Leasing Advances.

 

(c) If Borrower does exercise the option set forth in clause (a) above, (1) no Advance Fee shall be payable by Borrower in connection therewith and (2) Lender shall, simultaneously with the transfer of the Borrower’s First Optional Final Leasing Advance into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount, pay to Borrower the applicable “First Leasing Advance Rebate Payment”. As used herein, the “First Leasing Advance Rebate Payment” shall mean 3% of the first $3,000,000 of such Borrower’s First Optional Final Leasing Advance and 6% of the amount by which such Borrower’s First Optional Final Leasing Advance exceeds $3,000,000, provided however, if funds constituting the Borrower’s First Optional Final Leasing Advance do not earn interest in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount at a rate of interest greater than or equal to LIBOR minus 25 basis points, the First Leasing Advance Rebate Payment shall be increased to account for the difference between (i) the interest that would have been earned on funds constituting the Borrower’s First Optional Final Leasing Advance in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount had such funds earned interest at a rate of interest greater than or equal to LIBOR minus 25 basis points and (ii) the interest actually earned by Borrower on funds constituting the Borrower’s First Optional Final Leasing Advance in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount. If Borrower does exercise the option set forth in clause (b) above, (1) no Advance Fee shall be payable by Borrower in connection therewith and (2) Lender shall, simultaneously with the transfer of the Borrower’s

 

33


Second Optional Final Leasing Advance into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount, pay to Borrower the “Second Leasing Advance Rebate Payment”. As used herein, the “Second Leasing Advance Rebate Payment” shall mean 3% of the first $2,000,000 of such Borrower’s Second Optional Final Leasing Advance, provided however, if funds constituting the Borrower’s First Optional Final Leasing Advance do not earn interest in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount at a rate of interest greater than or equal to LIBOR minus 25 basis points, the First Leasing Advance Rebate Payment shall be increased to account for the difference between (i) the interest that would have been earned on funds constituting the Borrower’s First Optional Final Leasing Advance in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount had such funds earned interest at a rate of interest greater than or equal to LIBOR minus 25 basis points and (ii) the interest actually earned by Borrower on funds constituting the Borrower’s First Optional Final Leasing Advance in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount.

 

2.9.6 Optional Disbursements.

 

(a) If any or all conditions precedent to making an Advance have not been satisfied on the date such Advance was requested to be made, Lender may, at its sole option (i) waive so many of such conditions precedent as it may elect, and/or (ii) disburse only that portion of the requested Advance for which all of the conditions precedent have been satisfied. To the extent Lender makes an Advance for which any of the conditions precedent have not been satisfied, the making of such Advance shall constitute a waiver of such unsatisfied conditions for such Advance (but not for any other Advance), unless otherwise set forth in a written notice from Lender to Borrower.

 

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right (but no obligation) to make any or all Advances directly to contractors or any other Person to whom payment is due with respect to any Approved Capital Expenses or Approved Leasing Expenses. The execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an irrevocable direction and authorization to so disburse any such Advance. No further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary or required for such direct disbursements and all such disbursements shall satisfy pro tanto the obligations of Lender hereunder and shall be secured by the applicable Loan Documents as fully as if made directly to Borrower, regardless of the disposition thereof by the payee.

 

(c) Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation), by its own action (and without any request therefor by Borrower), to disburse to itself (or retain from) any Advance amounts to pay interest, fees and any other sums then due and payable to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, after Borrower’s failure to make such payments in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents.

 

2.9.7 Reallocation of Capital Expenditure Floating Rate Principal and Leasing Floating Rate Principal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.9, provided no Default or Event of Default is then continuing, Borrower may request that the maximum amount of the Capital Expenditure Floating Rate Principal be increased by an amount not to exceed $320,000, provided such an increase is necessary to pay or reimburse Borrower for Approved Capital Expenses actually incurred by Borrower which are within 110% of the total amounts included in the applicable line item of the applicable Approved Capital

 

34


Budget. Any increase in the maximum amount of the Capital Expenditure Floating Rate Principal shall be limited to a variance of up to ten percent (10%) between the actual costs incurred by Borrower and the budgeted amount set forth in the applicable Approved Capital Budget, on a line item by line item basis (i.e., such that, in connection with each request by Borrower to increase the Capital Expenditure Floating Rate Principal, the maximum amount by which the Capital Expenditure Floating Rate Principal may be increased shall be the lesser of (x) $320,000 and (y) an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the amount included in the applicable line item of the applicable Approved Capital Budget). Any increase in the maximum amount of the Capital Expenditure Floating Rate Principal pursuant to this Section 2.9.7, shall reduce the Leasing Floating Rate Principal dollar for dollar. No increase in the maximum amount of the Capital Expenditure Floating Rate Principal shall be permitted unless there is at least one dollar of Leasing Floating Rate Principal then unfunded for each dollar by which the Capital Expenditure Floating Rate Principal is to be increased (i.e., such that the amount of the Floating Rate Principal shall never be increased as a result of an increase in Capital Expenditure Floating Rate Principal).

 

3. CASH MANAGEMENT AND RESERVES

 

3.1 Cash Management Arrangements. Borrower shall cause all Rents to be transmitted directly by non-residential tenants of the Property into an Eligible Account (the “Clearing Account”) maintained by Borrower at a local bank selected by Borrower, which shall at all times be an Eligible Institution (the “Clearing Bank”) as more fully described in the Clearing Account Agreement. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, all Rents received by Borrower or Manager shall be deposited into the Clearing Account within three (3) Business Days of receipt. Funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be swept by the Clearing Bank on a daily basis into an Eligible Account at the Deposit Bank controlled by Lender (the “Deposit Account”) and applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement. Funds in the Deposit Account shall be invested at Borrower’s discretion only in Permitted Investments. Lender will also establish subaccounts of the Deposit Account which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) (such subaccounts are referred to herein as “Subaccounts”). The Deposit Account and any Subaccount will be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal therefrom.

 

3.2 Required Repairs.

 

3.2.1 Completion of Required Repairs. Borrower shall apply all funds deposited in the Required Repairs Subaccount (defined below) towards the performance the items of the repairs and environmental remedial work at the Property described on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Required Repairs”) within twelve (12) months of the date hereof. The inability by Borrower to fully apply such funds or to fully perform any one or more of the Required Repairs within the time period set forth above, shall not in and of itself, constitute a Default or an Event of Default hereunder, provided that Borrower is diligently and continuously taking all commercially reasonable steps necessary to perform the Required Repair(s) in question.

 

3.2.2 Required Repairs Reserves. On the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender a portion of the Initial Floating Rate Loan Advance in an amount equal to $1,200,000 and Lender shall cause such portion of the Initial Floating Rate Loan Advance to be

 

35


transferred to a Subaccount (the “Required Repairs Subaccount”). Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Required Repairs Subaccount to Borrower, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $5,000, accompanied by the following items (which items shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender): (i) an Officer’s Certificate (A) certifying that the Required Repairs or any portion thereof which are the subject of the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with such Required Repairs or any portion thereof and (C) stating that each such Person has been or, upon receipt of the requested disbursement, will be paid in full with respect to the portion of the Required Repairs which is the subject of the requested disbursement; (ii) copies of appropriate Lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender; (iii) at Lender’s option, a title search for the Property indicating that it is free from all Liens not previously approved by Lender; (iv) a copy of each License required to be obtained with respect to the portion of the Required Repairs which is the subject of the requested disbursement; and (v) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs which are the subject of the requested disbursement have been completed and paid for. Upon Borrower’s completion of all Required Repairs in accordance with this Section 3.2, Lender shall transfer any funds remaining in the Required Repairs Subaccount, if any, to the Capital Reserve Subaccount to be disbursed and applied in accordance with Section 3.4(a) hereof.

 

3.3 Taxes and Insurance. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (i) one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates and (ii) one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies. Such amounts will be transferred by Lender to a Subaccount (the “Tax and Insurance Subaccount”). Lender will (a) apply funds in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof and Section 7.1 hereof, provided that Borrower has promptly supplied Lender with notices of all Taxes and Insurance Premiums due, or (b) reimburse Borrower for such amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment; subject, however, to Borrower’s right to contest Taxes in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof. In making any payment relating to Taxes and Insurance Premiums, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If Lender determines in its reasonable judgment that the funds in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount will be insufficient to pay (or in excess of) the Taxes or Insurance Premiums next coming due, Lender may increase (or decrease) the monthly contribution required to be made by Borrower to the Tax and Insurance Subaccount.

 

3.4 Capital Expense Reserve. (a) On the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender a portion of the Initial Floating Rate Loan Advance in an amount equal to $400,000

 

36


(the “Initial CapEx Deposit”). In addition, from and after the earlier of (i) March 6, 2008 and (ii) the first (1st) Payment Date following the prepayment of the Floating Rate Loan, Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date an amount equal to $5,293 (such monthly payments are collectively referred to herein as, the “Monthly CapEx Funds”). Lender will transfer such amounts into a Subaccount (the “Capital Reserve Subaccount”). Additionally, upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Borrower, Lender may reassess the amount of the monthly payment required under this Section 3.4 not more than once every six (6) months (based upon its then current underwriting standards). Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds constituting the Initial CapEx Deposit, the Monthly CapEx Funds and/or any amounts transferred from the Required Repairs Subaccount and held in the Capital Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $5,000 provided that (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Capital Expense; (ii) Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at Borrower’s expense) performance of the work associated with such Approved Capital Expense in excess of $50,000; and (iii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will be used to pay or reimburse Borrower for Approved Capital Expenses and a description thereof, (2) that all outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements have been used to pay the previously identified Approved Capital Expenses, and (B) lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (C) at Lender’s option, a title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all Liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender and (D) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Approved Capital Expenses at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Any such disbursement of more than $10,000 to pay (rather than reimburse) Approved Capital Expenses may, at Lender’s option, be made by joint check payable to Borrower and the payee on such Approved Capital Expenses.

 

(b) Any amounts constituting a Capital Expenditure Advance Shortfall funded by Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.2 hereof shall be transferred by Lender into the Capital Reserve Subaccount. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and provided that each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.9.1 hereof have been satisfied, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Capital Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $5,000 to be used to pay or reimburse Borrower for Approved Capital Expenses.

37


limitation, the Integon TI Deposit and the Haas Publishing TI Deposit, into a Subaccount (the “Rollover Reserve Subaccount”). Borrower shall also pay to Lender for transfer into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount all Lease Termination Payments received by Borrower. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within ten (10) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $5,000, provided (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Leasing Expense; (ii) Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at Borrower’s expense) performance of any construction work associated with such Approved Leasing Expense; and (iii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will be used only to pay (or reimburse Borrower for) Approved Leasing Expenses and a description thereof, (2) that all outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements have been used only to pay (or reimburse Borrower for) the previously identified Approved Leasing Expenses, and (B) reasonably detailed supporting documentation as to the amount, necessity and purpose therefor. Any such disbursement of more than $10,000 to pay (rather than reimburse) Approved Leasing Expenses may, at Lender’s option, be made by joint check payable to Borrower and the payee of such Approved Leasing Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.5, (i) funds constituting the Integon TI Deposit shall be allocated to pay only those Approved Leasing Expenses with respect to the space at the Property leased to Integon Insurance and (ii) funds constituting the Haas Publishing TI Deposit shall be allocated to pay only those Approved Leasing Expenses with respect to the space at the Property leased to Haas Publishing. Any unused portion of the Integon TI Deposit and/or the Haas Publishing TI Deposit shall remain in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount for the payment of Approved Leasing Expenses and shall be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.5(a).

 

(b) Any Lease Termination Payments and any other funds deposited into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount from the Security Deposit Subaccount in accordance with Section 3.8 hereof shall be applied, at Lender’s election, towards either (a) subject to the rights of Borrower under the applicable Lease, rent arrearages under such Lease (or to cure any other tenant default under such Lease), (b) debt service shortfalls that may arise as a result of a termination of such Lease (and Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to disburse to itself any such amounts without any request therefor by Borrower) or (c) funding any Approved Leasing Expenses which are anticipated to occur in connection with the re-tenanting of the space under the Lease that was the subject of such termination (in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 3.5(a) above.

 

(c) Any amounts constituting a Leasing Advance Funding Shortfall funded by Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.4 hereof shall be transferred by Lender into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and provided that each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.9.3 hereof have been satisfied, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $5,000 to be used to pay or reimburse Borrower for Approved Leasing Expenses. Any such disbursement of more than $10,000 to pay

 

38


(rather than reimburse) Approved Leasing Expenses may, at Lender’s option, be made by joint check payable to Borrower and the payee on such Approved Leasing Expenses.

 

3.6 Operating Expense Subaccount. (a) On each Payment Date, a portion of the Rents that have been deposited into the Deposit Account during the immediately preceding Interest Period in an amount equal to the monthly amount set forth in the Approved Operating Budget for the following month as being necessary for payment of Approved Operating Expenses at the Property for such month, shall be transferred into a Subaccount for the payment of Approved Operating Expenses (the “Operating Expense Subaccount”). Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below), Lender shall disburse funds held in the Operating Expense Subaccount to Borrower, within ten (10) days after delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $1,000, provided (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Operating Expense; and (ii) such disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will be used to pay Approved Operating Expenses and a description thereof, (2) that all outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements have been or will be used to pay the previously identified Approved Operating Expenses, and (B) reasonably detailed documentation satisfactory to Lender as to the amount, necessity and purpose therefor.

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsection (a) above, on any Payment Date on which an Event of Default is not then continuing, Lender will automatically disburse to Borrower funds from the Operating Expense Subaccount in an amount equal to the monthly amount set forth in the Approved Operating Budget for the month in which such Payment Date occurs as being necessary for payment of Approved Operating Expenses at the Property for such month (plus any other amounts requested by Borrower for such month for payment of items constituting Approved Operating Expenses, which are not included in the Approved Operating Budget), which disbursement shall be made without any requirement for any Borrower request therefor or any Officer’s Certificate in connection therewith.

 

3.7 Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount. Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Lender all Proceeds or Awards due to any Casualty or Condemnation to be transferred to a Subaccount (the “Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount”) in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 hereof. All amounts in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount shall disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 hereof.

 

3.8 Security Deposits. Borrower shall keep and hold all security deposits under Leases in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and at a separately designated account under Borrower’s control at the Clearing Bank (or in another Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution) (and in the case of a letter of credit, assigned with full power of attorney and executed sight drafts to Lender) so that the security deposits shall not be commingled with any other funds of Borrower (such account, the “Security Deposit Account”). After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon Lender’s request, if permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, turn over to Lender the security deposits (and any interest theretofore earned

 

39


thereon) under Leases, to be held by Lender in a Subaccount (the “Security Deposit Subaccount”) subject to the terms of the Leases. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall also deliver to Lender (for deposit into the Security Deposit Subaccount) all amounts drawn under any letters of credit held by Borrower in lieu of cash security deposits. Security deposits held in the Security Deposit Subaccount will be released by Lender upon notice from Borrower together with such evidence as Lender may reasonably request that such security deposit is required to be returned to a tenant pursuant to the terms of a Lease. Any funds in the Security Deposit Subaccount which Borrower is permitted to retain pursuant to the applicable provisions of any Lease which has expired or has been terminated, cancelled or surrendered shall be paid to Lender and transferred by Lender into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount, to be applied and disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.5 hereof. Any letter of credit or other instrument that Borrower receives in lieu of a cash security deposit under any Lease entered into after the date hereof shall (i) be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount unless replaced by a cash deposit as hereinabove described and (ii) if permitted pursuant to any Legal Requirements, name Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Lender’s option, be fully assignable to Lender).

 

3.9 Cash Collateral Subaccount. If a Cash Trap Period shall have commenced, then on the immediately succeeding Payment Date and on each Payment Date thereafter during the continuance of such Cash Trap Period, all Available Cash shall be paid to Lender, which amounts shall be transferred by Lender into a Subaccount (the “Cash Collateral Subaccount”) as cash collateral for the Debt. Any funds in the Cash Collateral Account and not previously disbursed or applied shall, upon the termination of such Cash Trap Period be disbursed to Borrower. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, in its sole and absolute discretion to apply all sums then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Subaccount to the Debt, in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including to make a prepayment of Principal (together, with respect to a prepayment of Fixed Rate Principal, the applicable Yield Maintenance Premium applicable thereto and together, with respect to a prepayment of Floating Rate Principal, all Exit Fees applicable thereto). Additionally, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time subsequent to the second Calculation Date following the commencement of a DSCR Cash Trap Period (whether or not an Event of Default is then continuing), in its sole and absolute discretion to apply all sums then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Subaccount towards either (i) a repayment of Floating Rate Principal (together with the Exit Fee applicable thereto) and/or (ii) a partial Defeasance of the Fixed Rate Loan (together with any Defeasance costs associated therewith), and Borrower shall execute such documents and take such other actions necessary to satisfy the Defeasance requirements set forth in Section 2.3.3 hereof.

 

3.10 Grant of Security Interest; Application of Funds. As security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all Rents and in and to all payments to or monies held in the Clearing Account, the Deposit Account, all Subaccounts created pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Cash Management Accounts”). Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of Lender, all Rents in its possession prior to the (i) payment of such Rents to Lender or (ii) deposit of such Rents into the Deposit Account. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the

 

40


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

 

3.11 Property Cash Flow Allocation.

 

(a) All Rents deposited into the Deposit Account during the immediately preceding Interest Period shall be applied on each Payment Date as follows in the following order of priority:

 

(i) First, to make payments into the Tax and Insurance Subaccount as required under Section 3.3 hereof;

 

(ii) Second, to pay the monthly portion of the fees charged by the Deposit Bank in accordance with the Deposit Account Agreement;

 

(iii) Third, to Lender to pay the Fixed Rate Loan Interest Payment due on such Payment Date (plus, if applicable, interest at the Default Rate and all other amounts, other than those described under other clauses of this Section 3.11(a), then due to Lender under the Loan Documents)

 

(iv) Fourth, to Lender to pay the Floating Rate Loan Interest Payment due on such Payment Date (plus, if applicable, interest at the Default Rate);

 

(v) Fifth, to make payments for Approved Operating Expenses as required under Section 3.6 hereof;

 

(vi) Sixth, to make payments into the Capital Reserve Subaccount as required under Section 3.4 hereof;

 

(vii) Seventh, to make payments into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount as required under Section 3.5(a) hereof;

 

(viii) Eighth, during the continuance of a Cash Trap Period, to make payments in an amount equal to all remaining Available Cash on such Payment Date into the Cash Collateral Subaccount in accordance with Section 3.9 hereof; and

 

41


(ix) Lastly, payments to Borrower of any remaining amounts.

 

(b) The failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 3.11(a) above in full on each Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement; provided, however, if adequate funds are available in the Deposit Account for such payments, the failure by the Deposit Bank to allocate such funds into the appropriate Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of Default. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed to restrict Borrower from depositing its own funds (other than Rents) into the Deposit Account in order to fund any of the amounts required under clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 3.11(a) above (to the extent that the Rents previously deposited into the Deposit Account are insufficient for the same).

 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.11, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, Lender may apply all Rents deposited into the Deposit Account and other proceeds of repayment in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect.

42


any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of its properties. Borrower’s rights under the Licenses and the Management Agreement will not be adversely affected by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, Borrower’s performance thereunder, the recordation of the Mortgage, or the exercise of any remedies by Lender. Any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

 

4.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or other proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower, Sole Member, the Manager or the Property, which, if adversely determined, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower (including the ability of Borrower to carry out its obligations under the Loan Documents), Sole Member, Manager or the use, value, condition or ownership of the Property.

All transfer taxes, deed stamps, intangible taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the transfer of the Property to Borrower have been paid. To Borrower’s knowledge, the Mortgage when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any UCC Financing Statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (i) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Borrower’s interest in the Property and (ii) valid and perfected first priority security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances. All mortgage, recording, stamp, intangible or other similar taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any of the Loan Documents have been paid. The Permitted Encumbrances do not materially adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property, or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s best knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or part of the Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to the Property. To Borrower’s knowledge, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents. To Borrower’s knowledge, there are no outstanding options to purchase or rights of first refusal affecting all or any portion of the Property. To Borrower’s knowledge, the Survey does not fail to reflect any material matter affecting the Property or the title thereto. Except as disclosed on the Survey, all of the Improvements included in determining the appraised value of the Property lie wholly within the

 

43


boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property, and no improvement on an adjoining property encroaches upon the Property, and no easement or other encumbrance upon the Property encroaches upon any of the Improvements, except those insured against by the Title Insurance Policy. Each parcel comprising the Property is a separate tax lot and is not a portion of any other tax lot that is not a part of the Property. There are no pending or proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, or any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other assessments. To Borrower’s knowledge, without any inquiry whatsoever, with respect to the Title Insurance Policy, (i) the Title Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, (ii) the Title Insurance Policy is freely assignable by Lender to and will inure to the benefit of the transferee (subject to recordation of an assignment of mortgage) without the consent or any notification to the insurer, (iii) the premium with respect thereto has been paid in full (or will be paid in full with a portion of the proceeds of the Loan), (iv) the Title Insurance Policy is issued by a title insurance company licensed to issue policies in the State, (v) no claims have been made under the Title Insurance Policy and no other action has been taken that would materially impair the Title Insurance Policy and (vi) the Title Insurance Policy contains no exclusions for any of the following circumstances, or it affirmatively insures Lender against losses relating to any of the following circumstances (unless the Property is located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available): (a) that the Property has access to a public road and (b) that the area shown on the survey delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage.

 

4.7 No Bankruptcy Filing. Borrower is not contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law or the liquidation of all or a major portion of its property (a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it. In addition, neither Borrower nor Sole Member nor any principal nor Affiliate of either has been a party to, or the subject of a Bankruptcy Proceeding for the past ten (10) years.

 

4.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in any Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower that has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower. All financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of Borrower and the Property (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) fairly represent the financial condition of Borrower and the Property as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Borrower has no contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments, unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments or any liabilities or obligations not expressly permitted by this Agreement. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower or the Property from that set forth in said financial statements.

 

44


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

As of the date hereof and throughout the Term (i) Borrower is not and will not be an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, (ii) none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, (iii) Borrower is not and will not be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (iv) transactions by or with Borrower are not and will not be subject to (or are in compliance with) state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans. As of the date hereof, neither Borrower, nor any member of a “controlled group of corporations” (within the meaning of Section 414 of the Code) maintains, sponsors or contributes to a “defined benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(35) of ERISA) or a “multiemployer pension plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(37)(A) of ERISA).

 

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

 

4.12 Contracts. There are no service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property that are not terminable on one (1) month’s notice or less without cause and without penalty or premium. All service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property have been entered into at arms-length in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business and provide for the payment of fees in amounts and upon terms comparable to existing market rates.

 

45


4.13 Federal Reserve Regulations; Investment Company Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other regulation of such Board of Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Legal Requirements or any Loan Document. Borrower is not (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or (iii) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.

 

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

 

4.15 Physical Condition. Except as disclosed in that certain Property Evaluation of Four Falls Corporate Center prepared by Building Analytics and dated as of December 2004, to Borrower’s knowledge, the Property, including all Improvements, parking facilities, systems, Equipment and landscaping, are in good condition, order and repair in all material respects; there exists no structural or other material defect or damages to the Property, whether latent or otherwise. Borrower has not received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defect or inadequacy in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect its insurability or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or any termination of any policy of insurance or bond. Except as disclosed on the Survey, to Borrower’s knowledge, no portion of the Property is located in an area as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards. The Improvements have suffered no material casualty or damage which has not been fully repaired and the cost thereof fully paid.

 

4.16 Leases. The rent roll attached hereto as Schedule 3 (the “Rent Roll”) is, to Borrower’s knowledge, true, complete and correct and the Property is not subject to any Leases other than the Leases described in the Rent Roll. To Borrower’s knowledge, except as set forth on the Rent Roll: (i) each Lease is in full force and effect; (ii) the tenants under the Leases have accepted possession of and are in occupancy of all of their respective demised premises, have commenced the payment of rent under the Leases, and there are no offsets, claims or defenses to the enforcement thereof; (iii) all rents due and payable under the Leases have been paid and no portion thereof has been paid for any period more than thirty (30) days in advance; (iv) the rent

 

46


payable under each Lease is the amount of fixed rent set forth in the Rent Roll, and there is no claim or basis for a claim by the tenant thereunder for an adjustment to the rent; (v) no tenant has made any claim against the landlord under any Lease which remains outstanding, there are no defaults on the part of the landlord under any Lease, and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default; (vi) to Borrower’s best knowledge, there is no present material default by the tenant under any Lease; (vii) all security deposits under Leases are as set forth on the Rent Roll and are held consistent with Section 3.8 hereof; (viii) Borrower is the sole owner of the entire lessor’s interest in each Lease; (ix) each Lease is the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Borrower and the applicable tenant thereunder and (x) no Person has any possessory interest in, or right to occupy, the Property except under the terms of the Lease. None of the Leases contains any option to purchase or right of first refusal to purchase the Property or any part thereof. Neither the Leases nor the Rents have been assigned or pledged except to Lender, and no other Person has any interest therein except the tenants thereunder.

 

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

 

4.18 Ownership of Borrower. The sole member of Borrower is the Sole Member. The OP is the sole managing member of the Sole Member and the owner of twenty-five percent (25%) of the limited liability company interests in the Sole Member. CalSTRS is the only other member of the Sole Member and the owner of seventy-five percent (75%) of the limited liability company interests in the Sole Member. TPG is the sole general partner and the owner of 46.3% of the partnership interests in the OP. As of the date hereof, the limited liability company interests in Borrower and Sole Member and the partnership interests in the OP are owned free and clear of all Liens, warrants, options and rights to purchase. Borrower has no obligation to any Person to purchase, repurchase or issue any ownership interest in it. The organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule 4 is complete and accurate and illustrates all Persons who have a direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower.

 

4.19 Purchase Options. Neither the Property nor any part thereof is subject to any purchase options or other similar rights in favor of third parties.

 

4.20 Management Agreement. The Management Agreement is in full force and effect. There is no default, breach or violation existing thereunder, and no event has occurred

 

47

Nothing herein shall prevent Borrower from recovering such expenses from any other party that may be liable for such removal or cure.

 

5.8.2 Environmental Monitoring.

 

(a) Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender of (i) any proceeding or inquiry by any party (including any Governmental Authority) with respect to the presence of any Hazardous Substance on, under, from or about the Property, (ii) all claims made or threatened by any third party (including any Governmental Authority) against Borrower or the Property or any party occupying the Property relating to any loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous Substance, and (iii) Borrower’s discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property that could cause the Property to be subject to any investigation or cleanup pursuant to any Environmental Law. Upon becoming aware of the presence of mold or fungus at the Property, Borrower shall (i) undertake an investigation to identify the source(s) of such mold or fungus and shall develop and implement an appropriate remediation plan to eliminate the presence of any Toxic Mold, (ii) perform or cause to be performed all acts reasonably necessary for the remediation of any Toxic Mold (including taking any action necessary to clean and disinfect any portions of the Property affected by Toxic Mold, including providing any necessary moisture control systems at the Property), and (iii) provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of the foregoing.

51


Lender in its good faith judgment determines that reasonable cause exists for the performance of such environmental inspection or audit, then the cost and expense of such audit or inspection shall be paid by Borrower. Such inspections and audit may include soil borings and ground water monitoring. If Borrower fails to provide any such inspection or audit within thirty (30) days after such request, Lender may order same, and Borrower hereby grants to Lender and its employees and agents access to the Property and a license to undertake such inspection or audit.

 

(c) If any environmental site assessment report prepared in connection with such inspection or audit recommends that an operations and maintenance plan be implemented for any Hazardous Substance, whether such Hazardous Substance existed prior to the ownership of the Property by Borrower, or presently exists or is reasonably suspected of existing, Borrower shall cause such operations and maintenance plan to be prepared and implemented at its expense upon request of Lender, and with respect to any Toxic Mold, Borrower shall take all action necessary to clean and disinfect any portions of the Improvements affected by Toxic Mold in or about the Improvements, including providing any necessary moisture control systems at the Property.

If Borrower does not timely commence and diligently prosecute to completion the Remedial Work, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) cause such Remedial Work to be performed at Borrower’s expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to commence such Remedial Work within the above specified time period: (x) if prevented from doing so by any Governmental Authority, (y) if commencing such Remedial Work within such time period would result in Borrower or such Remedial Work violating any Environmental Law, or (z) if Borrower, at its expense and after prior written notice to Lender, is contesting by appropriate legal, administrative or other proceedings, conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the need to perform Remedial Work. Borrower shall have the right to contest the need to perform such Remedial Work, provided that, (1) Borrower is permitted by the applicable Environmental Laws to delay performance of the Remedial Work pending such proceedings, (2) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be sold, forfeited or lost if Borrower fails to promptly perform the Remedial Work being contested, and if Borrower fails to prevail in contest, Borrower would thereafter have the opportunity to perform such Remedial Work, (3) Lender would not, by virtue of such permitted contest, be exposed to any risk of any civil liability for which Borrower has not furnished additional security as provided in clause (4) below, or to any risk of criminal liability, and neither the Property nor any interest therein would be subject to the imposition of any Lien for which Borrower has not furnished additional security as provided in clause (4) below, as a result of the failure to perform such Remedial Work and (4) Borrower shall have furnished to Lender additional security in respect of the Remedial Work being contested and the loss or damage that may result from Borrower’s failure to prevail in such contest in such amount as may be reasonably requested by Lender but in no event less than 125% of the cost of such Remedial

5.10.2 Material Leases. Borrower shall not enter into a proposed Material Lease or a proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Prior to seeking Lender’s consent to any Material Lease, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy of such proposed lease (a “Proposed Material Lease”) blacklined to show changes from the standard form of Lease approved by Lender and then being used by Borrower. Lender shall approve or disapprove each Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease for which Lender’s approval is required under this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days of the submission by Borrower to Lender of a written request for such approval, accompanied by a final copy of the Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease. If requested by Borrower, Lender will grant conditional approvals of Proposed Material Leases or proposed renewals, extensions or modifications of existing Material Leases at any stage of the leasing process, from initial “term sheet” through negotiated lease drafts, provided that Lender shall retain the right to disapprove any such Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease, if subsequent to any preliminary approval material changes are made to the terms previously approved by Lender, or additional material terms are added that had not previously been considered and approved by Lender in connection with such Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease. Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, if Borrower provides Lender with a written request for approval (which written request shall specifically refer to this Section 5.10.2 and shall explicitly state that failure by Lender to approve or disapprove within ten (10) Business Days will constitute a deemed approval) and Lender fails to reject the request in writing delivered to Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by Lender of the request, the Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease shall be deemed approved by Lender, and Borrower shall be entitled to enter into such Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.10.2, unless expressly agreed to in writing by Lender, any approval or deemed approval by Lender of a Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal,

 

53


extension or modification of an existing Material Lease pursuant to this Section 5.10.2 shall not be deemed to constitute an approval or deemed approval by Lender of any Leasing Advance for purposes of Section 2.9.3 hereof.

 

5.10.3 Minor Leases. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.10.2 above, provided that no Event of Default is continuing, subject to Section 2.9 hereof, renewals, amendments and modifications of existing Leases and proposed leases, shall not be subject to the prior approval of Lender provided (i) the proposed lease would be a Minor Lease or the existing Lease as amended or modified or the renewal Lease is a Minor Lease, (ii) the proposed lease shall be written substantially in accordance with the standard form of Lease which shall have been approved by Lender, (iii) the Lease as amended or modified or the renewal Lease or series of leases or proposed lease or series of leases: (a) shall provide for net effective rental rates comparable to existing local market rates, (b) shall have an initial term (together with all renewal options) of not less than three (3) years or greater than ten (10) years, (c) shall provide for automatic self-operative subordination to the Mortgage and, at Lender’s option, attornment to Lender, and (d) shall not contain any option to purchase, any right of first refusal to purchase, any right to terminate (except in the event of the destruction or condemnation of substantially all of the Property), any requirement for a non-disturbance or recognition agreement (other than on Lender’s standard form of non-disturbance or recognition agreement), or any other provision which might adversely affect the rights of Lender under the Loan Documents in any material respect. Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of all Leases which are entered into pursuant to the preceding sentence together with Borrower’s certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of the preceding sentence within ten (10) days after the execution of the Lease.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.10, unless expressly agreed to in

 

54


writing by Lender, any approval by Lender of a Proposed Material Lease or other Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease or other Lease pursuant to this Section 5.10 shall not be deemed to constitute an approval by Lender of any Approved Leasing Expenses payable in connection therewith for purposes of Section 2.9 hereof.

As used herein, (i) “Terrorism Premium Cap” means an amount equal to 150% of the aggregate Insurance Premiums payable with respect to all the insurance coverage under Section 7.1.1(a) above for the last policy year in which coverage for terrorism was included as part of the “all risk” (excluding California earthquake, tier 1 wind and Flood insurance) property policy required by subsection (a) above, adjusted annually by a percentage equal to the increase in the Consumer Price Index (hereinafter defined) and (ii) “Consumer Price Index” means the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, New York Metropolitan Statistical Area, All Items (1982-84 = 100), or any successor index thereto, approximately adjusted, and in the event that the Consumer Price Index is converted to a different standard reference base or otherwise revised, the determination of adjustments provided for herein shall be made with the use of such conversion factor, formula or table for converting the Consumer Price Index as may be published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or, if said Bureau shall not publish the same, then with the use of such conversion factor, formula or table as may be published by Prentice-Hall, Inc., or any other nationally recognized publisher of similar statistical information; and if the Consumer Price Index ceases to be published, and there is no successor thereto (i) such other index as Lender and Borrower shall agree upon in writing or (ii) if Lender and Borrower cannot agree on a substitute index, such other index, as reasonably selected by Lender. Borrower shall obtain the coverage required under this subsection (j) from a carrier which otherwise satisfies the rating criteria

 

68


specified in Section 7.1.2 below (a “Qualified Carrier”) or in the event that such coverage is not available from a Qualified Carrier, Borrower shall obtain such coverage from the highest rated insurance company providing such coverage.

 

7.1.2 Policies. All policies of insurance (the “Policies”) required pursuant to Section 7.1.1 above shall (i) be issued by companies approved by Lender and authorized to do business in the State, with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency) (provided, however for multi-layered policies, (A) if four (4) or less insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least 75% of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided by insurance companies with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency), with no carrier below “BBB” (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency) or (B) if five (5) or more insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least sixty percent (60%) of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided by insurance companies with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency), with no carrier below “BBB” (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency), and a rating of A:VIII or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports; (ii) name Lender and its successors and/or assigns as their interest may appear as the mortgagee (in the case of property insurance), loss payee (in the case of business interruption/loss of rents coverage) and an additional insured (in the case of liability insurance); (iii) contain (in the case of property insurance) a Non-Contributory Standard Mortgagee Clause and a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement, or their equivalents, naming Lender as the person to which all payments made by such insurance company shall be paid; (iv) contain a waiver of subrogation against Lender; (v) be assigned and the originals thereof delivered to Lender; (vi) contain such provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest, including (A) endorsements providing that neither Borrower, Lender nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under the Policies, (B) that Lender shall receive at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies, (C) providing that Lender is permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such policy upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of premiums and (vii) in the event any insurance policy (except for general public and other liability and workers compensation insurance) shall contain breach of warranty provisions, such policy shall provide that with respect to the interest of Lender, such insurance policy shall not be invalidated by and shall insure Lender regardless of (A) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policy by any named insured, (B) the occupancy or use of the premises for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof, or (C) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Lender pursuant to any provision of the Loan Documents. Borrower shall pay the premiums for such Policies (the “Insurance Premiums”) as the same become due and payable and furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies together with (unless such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof) receipts for or other evidence of the payment of the Insurance Premiums reasonably satisfactory to Lender. If Borrower does not furnish such evidence and receipts at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any expiring Policy, then Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand, with interest accruing at the Default Rate. Borrower shall deliver to Lender a certified copy of each Policy (or binders with respect to the coverage provided under each such Policy together with Accord Certificates evidencing such

 

69


coverage) within thirty (30) days after its effective date. Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like.

 

7.2 Casualty.

 

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

 

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

 

70


7.3 Condemnation.

 

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

 

7.3.2 Collection of Award. If a Condemnation occurs where the award or payment in respect thereof (an “Award”) does not exceed $250,000, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation with the prior consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for the Award. In the event of a Condemnation where the Award is in excess of $250,000, Lender may collect, receive and retain such Award and make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation with the prior consent of Borrower (unless an Event of Default is continuing, in which case, Borrower’s prior consent shall not be required, and Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to take such actions during the continuance of an Event of Default), not to be unreasonably withheld (which shall be deemed consented to if Borrower fails to respond to any request for consent therefor within ten (10) days of request. Notwithstanding any Condemnation (or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such Condemnation), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Loan Documents, and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided in the Notes. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Notes shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive all or a portion of the Award sufficient to pay the Debt. Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be paid directly to Lender. Lender shall hold such Award in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disburse such Award in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

7.4 Application of Proceeds or Award.

 

7.4.1 Application to Restoration. If an Insured Casualty or Condemnation occurs where (i) the loss is in an aggregate amount less than the fifteen percent (15%) of the unpaid Principal; (ii) in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the Property can be restored within six (6) months, and prior to six (6) months before the Stated Maturity Date and prior to the expiration of the rental or business interruption insurance with respect thereto, to the Property’s pre-existing condition and utility as existed immediately prior to such Insured Casualty or Condemnation and to an economic unit not less valuable and not less useful than the same was immediately prior to the Insured Casualty or Condemnation, and after such restoration will adequately secure the Debt; (iii) less than (x) thirty percent (30%), in the case of an Insured

 

71


Casualty or (y) fifteen percent (15%), in the case of a Condemnation, of the rentable area of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Insured Casualty or Condemnation; (iv) Leases demising in the aggregate at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the total rentable space in the Property and in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Insured Casualty or Condemnation remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration (hereinafter defined); and (v) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, then the Proceeds or the Award, as the case may be (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender), shall be applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property (the “Restoration”), in the manner set forth herein. Borrower shall commence and diligently prosecute such Restoration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lender be obligated to apply the Proceeds or Award to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration unless, in addition to satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, both (x) Borrower shall pay (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit with Lender in advance) all costs of such Restoration in excess of the net amount of the Proceeds or the Award made available pursuant to the terms hereof; and (y) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that during the period of the Restoration, the Rents will be at least equal to the sum of the operating expenses and Debt Service and other reserve payments required hereunder, as reasonably determined by Lender.

 

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

 

7.4.3 Procedure for Application to Restoration. If Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of the Proceeds or an Award held by Lender, such Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed from time to time from the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount upon Lender being furnished with (i) evidence satisfactory to Lender of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration, (ii) a fixed price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contract for Restoration satisfactory to Lender, (iii) prior to the commencement of Restoration, all immediately available funds in addition to the Proceeds or Award that in Lender’s judgment are required to complete the proposed Restoration, (iv) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey, permits, approvals, licenses and such other documents and items as Lender may reasonably require and approve in Lender’s discretion, and (iv) all plans and specifications for such Restoration, such plans and specifications to be approved by Lender prior to commencement of any work. Lender may, at Borrower’s expense, retain a consultant to review and approve all requests for disbursements, which approval shall also be a condition precedent to any disbursement. No payment made prior

 

72


to the final completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than the Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Proceeds or Award; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such Proceeds or Award remaining in the hands of Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear of all Liens or claims for Lien. Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, any surplus that remains out of the Proceeds held by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall be paid to Borrower. Any surplus that remains out of the Award received by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall, in the discretion of Lender, be retained by Lender and applied to payment of the Debt (without any Yield Maintenance Premium, Exit Fee or any other prepayment premium or penalty) or returned to Borrower.

(a) any portion of the Debt is not paid when due or any other amount under Section 3.11(a)(i) through (viii) hereof is not paid in full on each Payment Date (provided, however, if adequate funds are available in the Deposit Account for such payments, the failure by the Deposit Bank to allocate such funds into the appropriate Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of Default);

8.2 Remedies.

 

8.2.1 Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1 above) and at any time and from time to time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property; including declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest), Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium, Exit Fees and any other amounts owing by Borrower), without notice or demand; and upon any Event of

 

74


Default described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1 above, the Debt (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium, Exit Fees and any other amounts owing by Borrower) shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

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

 

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

 

8.2.4 Delay. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender shall impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the

 

75


right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Mortgage to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of the Property, the Rents, the Cash Management Accounts or any other collateral, provided that any deficiency judgment obtained by Lender shall be subject to the terms and provisions of Section 10.1 hereof.

 

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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.1.1, Borrower shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket expenses (other than the fees and expenses of Borrower’s attorneys, accountants and consultants) in the performance of its obligations under this Section 9.1.1.

 

9.1.2 Use of Information. Borrower understands that all or any portion of the Provided Information and the Required Records may be included in disclosure documents in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, including a prospectus or private placement memorandum (each, a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers or other parties relating to the Secondary Market Transaction.

In connection with a Disclosure Document, Borrower shall: (a) if requested by Lender, certify in writing that Borrower has carefully examined those portions of such Disclosure Document, pertaining to Borrower, the Property, Manager and the Fixed Rate Loan and/or the Floating Rate Loan, and that such portions do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the

circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (b) indemnify (in a separate instrument of indemnity, if so requested by Lender) (i) any underwriter, syndicate member or placement agent (collectively, the “Underwriters”) retained by Lender or its issuing company affiliate (the “Issuer”) in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, (ii) Lender and (iii) the Issuer that is named in the Disclosure Document or registration statement relating to a Secondary Market Transaction (the “Registration Statement”), and each of the Issuer’s directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each person or entity who controls the Issuer or the Lender within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 30 of the Exchange Act (collectively within (iii), the “GCM Group”), and each of its directors and each person who controls each of the Underwriters, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the GCM Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject (including reimbursing all of them for any legal or other expenses actually incurred in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities) insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any of the Provided Information or in any of the applicable portions of such sections of the Disclosure Document applicable to Borrower, Manager, the Property, the Fixed Rate Loan and/or the Floating Rate Loan, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the applicable portions of such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in the applicable portions of such sections in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to indemnify Lender for any Liabilities relating to untrue statements or omissions which Borrower identified to Lender in writing at the time of Borrower’s examination of such Disclosure Document.

 

9.1.4 Borrower Indemnity Regarding Filings. In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower shall (i) indemnify Lender, the GCM Group and the Underwriter Group for any Liabilities to which Lender, the GCM Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated in the Provided Information in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the GCM Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses actually incurred by Lender, GCM Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.

 

9.1.5 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 9.1.3 above or Section 9.1.4 above of notice of the commencement of any action for which a claim for indemnification is to be made against Borrower, such indemnified party shall notify Borrower in writing of such commencement, but the omission to so notify Borrower will not relieve Borrower from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to Borrower. If any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies Borrower of the commencement thereof, Borrower will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice of commencement, to assume the defense thereof

 

78


with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party in its discretion. After notice from Borrower to such indemnified party under this Section 9.1.5, Borrower shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both Borrower and an indemnified party, and any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to Borrower, then the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Borrower shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless there are legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.

 

9.1.6 Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.1.3 above or Section 9.1.4 above is for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.1.3 above or Section 9.1.4 above, Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) the GCM Group’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it may not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

 

9.1.7 Rating Surveillance. Lender will retain the Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on Securities. The pro rata expenses of such surveillance will be paid for by Borrower based on the applicable percentage of such expenses determined by dividing the then outstanding Fixed Rate Principal and/or Floating Rate Principal, to the extent applicable, by the then aggregate outstanding amount of the pool created in the Secondary Market Transaction which includes the Fixed Rate Loan and/or the Floating Rate Loan.

 

9.1.8 Severance of Loan. Lender shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to, in connection with, or after any Secondary Market Transaction), with respect to all or any portion of the Fixed Rate Loan and/or the Floating Rate Loan, to modify, split and/or sever all or any portion of the Fixed Rate Loan and/or the Floating Rate Loan as hereinafter provided. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender may (i) cause either or both of the Notes and the Mortgage to be split into a first and second mortgage loan, (ii) create one more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure), (iii) create multiple components of either or both of the Notes (and allocate or reallocate the principal balance of the Fixed Rate Loan and/or the Floating Rate Loan (as applicable) among such components) or (iv) otherwise sever the Fixed Rate Loan and/or the Floating Rate Loan into two (2) or more loans secured by mortgages and by a pledge of partnership or membership interests (directly or indirectly) in Borrower (i.e., a

 

79


senior loan/mezzanine loan structure), in each such case, in whatever proportion and whatever priority Lender determines; provided, however, in each such instance the outstanding principal balance of all the Notes evidencing the Fixed Rate Loan and/or the Floating Rate Loan (as applicable) (or components of the Notes for the Fixed Rate Loan or Floating Rate Loan (as applicable)) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding principal balance of the Fixed Rate Loan and/or the Floating Rate Loan (as applicable) immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all such Notes (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Fixed Rate Note or Floating Rate Note (as applicable) immediately prior to such modification. If requested by Lender, Borrower (and Borrower’s constituent members, if applicable, and Guarantor) shall execute within two (2) Business Days after such request, such documentation as Lender may reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate any such modification or severance. Borrower shall not be required to incur any out of pocket costs or expenses in connection with the foregoing (other than the fees and expenses of Borrower’s attorneys, accountants and consultants) or to reduce its rights or increase its obligations or decrease its rights in respect of the Loan (or any portion thereof). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.1.8, Borrower shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket expenses (other than the fees and expenses of Borrower’s attorneys, accountants and consultants) in the performance of its obligations under this Section 9.1.8.

 

10. MISCELLANEOUS

 

10.1 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest and rights under the Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with any Loan Document. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any Loan Document; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (vi) constitute a prohibition against Lender to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or to exercise its remedies against the Property; or (vii) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following (all such liability and

(d) all Rents of the Property received or collected by or on behalf of the Borrower after an Event of Default and not deposited into the Deposit Account or applied to payment of Principal and interest due under the Notes, and to the payment of actual and reasonable operating expenses of the Property, as they become due or payable (except to the extent that such application of such funds is prevented by bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial proceeding in which Borrower is legally prevented from directing the disbursement of such sums);

 

(e) misappropriation (including failure to turn over to Lender on demand following an Event of Default) of tenant security deposits and rents collected in advance, or of funds held by Borrower for the benefit of another party;

 

(f) the failure to pay Taxes, provided Borrower shall not be liable to the extent funds to pay such amounts are available in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount and Lender failed to pay same;

 

(g) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification in any Loan Document concerning Environmental Laws or Hazardous Substances, including Section 4.21 hereof and Section 5.8 hereof, and clauses (viii) through (xi) of Section 5.30 hereof; or

 

(h) the breach of Borrower’s covenants set forth in Section 2.6.2 hereof, including without limitation, Borrower’s obligation to pay the Cap Recovery Costs and interest thereon at the Default Rate.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) Lender’s agreement not to pursue personal liability of Borrower as set forth above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall

 

81


be of no further force and effect, and the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event that one or more of the following occurs (each, a “Springing Recourse Event”): (i) an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(d) hereof shall have occurred or (ii) a breach of the covenants set forth in Section 5.13 hereof, or (iii) the occurrence of any condition or event described in either Section 8.1(f) hereof or Section 8.1(g) hereof and, with respect to such condition or event described in Section 8.1(g) hereof, either Borrower, Sole Member, Guarantor or any Person owning an interest (directly or indirectly) in Borrower, Sole Member or Guarantor consents to, aids, solicits, supports, or otherwise cooperates or colludes to cause such condition or event or fails to contest such condition or event.

 

10.2 Brokers and Financial Advisors. (a) Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the Loan other than Secured Capital (“Broker”) whose fees shall be paid by Borrower pursuant to a separate agreement. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, whether incurred in connection with enforcing this indemnity or defending claims of third parties) of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person (including Broker) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.2 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.2(a) above to the contrary, Borrower hereby acknowledges that (i) at Lender’s sole discretion, Broker may receive further consideration from Lender relating to the Loan (or any portion thereof) or any other matter for which Lender may elect to compensate Broker pursuant to a separate agreement between Lender and Broker and (ii) Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to Borrower the existence of any such agreement or the amount of any such additional consideration paid or to be paid to Broker whether in connection with the Loan (or any portion thereof) or otherwise.

 

10.3 Retention of Servicer. Lender reserves the right to retain the Servicer to act as its agent hereunder with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Servicer by Lender, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any pooling and servicing agreement or similar agreement entered into as a result of a Secondary Market Transaction, the Deposit Account Agreement or otherwise, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Borrower shall pay any reasonable fees and expenses of the Servicer (i) in connection with a release of the Property (or any portion thereof), (ii) from and after a transfer of the Loan (or any portion thereof) to any “master servicer” or “special servicer” for any reason, including without limitation, as a result of a decline in the occupancy level of the Property, (iii) in connection with an assumption or modification of the Loan (or any portion thereof), (iv) in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents or (v) in connection with any other action or approval taken by Servicer hereunder on behalf of Lender.

 

10.4 Survival. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Notes, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any of the Debt is unpaid or such longer period if expressly set

 

82


forth in this Agreement. All Borrower’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the respective legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.

 

10.5 Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or consent or withhold consent, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender or is to be in Lender’s discretion, except as otherwise specified herein, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove, to consent or withhold consent, or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, or acceptable or unacceptable or in Lender’s discretion shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive.

10.7 Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given.

10.9 Headings/Exhibits. The Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other

 

84


purpose. The Exhibits attached hereto, are hereby incorporated by reference as a part of the Agreement with the same force and effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

 

10.10 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

 

10.11 Preferences. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Debt. To the extent Borrower makes a payment to Lender, or Lender receives proceeds of any collateral, which is in whole or part subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Debt or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender. This provision shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.

 

10.12 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or any other Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which no Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.

 

10.13 Remedies of Borrower. If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or any of its agents, including Servicer, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents, including Servicer, shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be to commence an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Borrower specifically waives any claim against Lender and its agents, including Servicer, with respect to actions taken by Lender or its agents on Borrower’s behalf. Nothing in this Section 10.13 shall limit Borrower’s remedies against Lender under this Agreement to the extent that both (i) Lender’s breach of this Agreement arises from the illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender and (ii) as a result of such breach, Borrower incurs liability or actual damages to third parties.

 

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

 

85


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

 

10.16 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public, which refers to the Loan Documents, the Loan, Lender or any member of the GCM Group, a purchaser of the Loan (or any portion thereof), the Servicer or the trustee in a Secondary Market Transaction, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender. Lender shall have the right to issue any of the foregoing without Borrower’s approval.

 

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

 

10.18 Conflict; Construction of Documents. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that each is represented by separate counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan

 

86


Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted them.

 

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

 

10.20 Yield Maintenance Premium. Borrower acknowledges that (a) Lender is making the Fixed Rate Loan in consideration of the receipt by Lender of all interest and other benefits intended to be conferred by the Loan Documents and (b) if payments of Fixed Rate Principal are made to Lender prior to the Stated Maturity Date, for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary, as a result of Lender’s acceleration of the Fixed Rate Loan after an Event of Default, by operation of law or otherwise, Lender will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may, in addition, incur costs. For these reasons, and to induce Lender to make the Fixed Rate Loan, Borrower agrees that, except as expressly provided in Article 2 and Article 7 hereof, all prepayments of Fixed Rate Principal, if any, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be accompanied by the Yield Maintenance Premium. Such Yield Maintenance Premium shall be required whether payment is made by Borrower, by a Person on behalf of Borrower, or by the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lender at such sale. Borrower further acknowledges that (A) it is a knowledgeable real estate developer and/or investor; (B) it fully understands the effect of the provisions of this Section 10.20, as well as the other provisions of the Loan Documents; (C) the making of the Fixed Rate Loan by Lender at the Fixed Rate Loan Interest Rate and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient consideration for Borrower’s obligation to pay a Yield Maintenance Premium (if required); and (D) Lender would not make the Fixed Rate Loan on the terms set forth herein without the inclusion of such provisions. Borrower also acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium and other charges specified herein were independently negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific material part of the consideration given by Borrower to Lender for the making of the Fixed Rate Loan except as expressly permitted hereunder.

 

10.21 Assignment. The Fixed Rate Loan, the Floating Rate Loan, the Fixed Rate Note, the Floating Rate Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be assigned by Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise. Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Loan Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender. Borrower may not assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Loan Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.

 

10.22 Future Funding Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including the provisions of Sections 9.1.1 9.1.8, 10.19 and 10.21 hereof), the parties acknowledge that the obligations of the Lender hereunder to fund the Advances (the “Future Funding Obligations”) will be solely the obligation of Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. and/or any subsequent holder of the Floating Rate Note which, together with its

 

87


Affiliates, maintains a net worth of at least $50,000,000 (the “Holder”), provided however, in connection with any Securitization of the Floating Rate Loan, no Future Funding Obligation will be transferred or assigned to any Servicer or any trust or trustee or substituted or successor trustee established in connection with any such Securitization. Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. and/or the Holder will have a participation interest in the Floating Rate Note to the extent of any funds advanced pursuant to the Future Funding Obligations. Any funds advanced pursuant to a Future Funding Obligation shall be owing to Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. or the Holder, but in the event that Borrower has insufficient funds to pay both the holder of the Fixed Rate Note and the holder of the Floating Rate Note, the holder of the Fixed Rate Note shall have a prior right to such payment and a prior lien on the Property.

 

10.23 Certain Additional Rights of Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:

 

(i) the right to routinely consult with Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower, provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times;
