Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

FSP 303 East Wacker Drive Corp. (the “Registrant”) is a Delaware corporation formed to purchase, own, and operate a 28-story multi-tenant office tower containing approximately 859,187 rentable square feet of office and retail space and a 294-stall underground parking garage located in downtown Chicago, Illinois (the “Property”).  The Registrant operates in a manner intended to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes.  The Registrant acquired the Property through a Delaware limited liability company, FSP 303 East Wacker Drive LLC (the “Borrower”), the sole member of which is the Registrant.  The sole business of the Borrower is to own and operate the Property.

 

On August 3, 2011, the Borrower entered into a Mortgage Note (the “Note”) in favor of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) (the “Lender”) to evidence a loan (the “Loan”) in the original principal amount of $35,000,000.00 that matures on September 1, 2021. The proceeds of the Loan are being held by the Lender for the benefit of the Borrower in a reserve account or accounts to be drawn upon by the Borrower from time to time for tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions at the Property in accordance with a Tenant Improvement and Leasing Commissions Agreement by and between the Borrower and the Lender dated August 3, 2011 (the “TILC Agreement”). Interest on the Loan is fixed at 4.83% per annum. The Borrower is obligated to make monthly payments of interest only for the initial 60 months of the Loan. Thereafter, the Borrower is obligated to make monthly payments of principal and interest for the remaining 60 months of the Loan based on a 25-year amortization schedule. On or after the end of the fourth year of the Loan, the Borrower may prepay (in full but not in part) the Loan upon payment of a prepayment premium in an amount equal to the greater of: (a) the positive amount, if any, equal to (i) the sum of the present values of all scheduled payments due under the Note from the prepayment date to and including the maturity date, minus (ii) the principal balance of the Note immediately prior to such prepayment; or (b) 1% of the principal balance of the Note immediately prior to such prepayment. Additionally, the Borrower may prepay (in full but not in part) the Loan without premium or penalty at any time during the last 90 days of the term of the Loan. Subject to customary exceptions (the “Recourse Obligations”), the Loan is nonrecourse to the Borrower.

 

The Loan is secured by a Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Security Agreement dated August 3, 2011 (the “Mortgage”) from the Borrower in favor of the Lender. The Mortgage constitutes a lien against the Property and has been recorded in the land records of Cook County, Illinois. The Mortgage also contains customary representations and warranties, as well as customary events of default and affirmative and negative covenants. The Loan is also secured by a Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty Agreement”) and an Indemnification Agreement (the “Indemnification Agreement”), each dated August 3, 2011, and each from the Borrower and the Registrant in favor of the Lender. Pursuant to the Guaranty Agreement, the Borrower and the Registrant jointly and severally guaranty to the Lender payment of any amounts due from the Recourse Obligations. Pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement, the Borrower and the Registrant jointly and severally indemnify the Lender against any loss, cost, liability, damage, claim or expense relating to environmental matters at the Property.
