During the Extended Term and except for any time when the Default Rate or the Adjusted Rate is applicable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Loan (including any amounts added to principal under the Loan Documents) shall bear interest at the Contract Rate. In order to exercise the Extension Option, Borrower must provide Lender with written notice (the “Extension Notice”) of Borrower’s intent to exercise the Extension Option not less than sixty (60) days prior to the Initial Maturity Date but no more than ninety (90) days prior to the Initial Maturity Date, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE. In consideration thereof, Borrower shall pay Lender the Extension Fee on or prior to the first day of the Extended Term, which Extension Fee shall be earned by Lender as of the date of the Extension Notice; provided, however, if Borrower does not satisfy the Extension Conditions below, no Extension Fee shall be payable, although Borrower shall remain liable for the payment of the costs set forth in Section 2.4(b)(xi).

 

In connection with the exercise by Borrower of the Extension Option, Borrower must satisfy each of the following conditions (the “Extension Conditions”):

 

(i)

No Event of Default or Potential Event of Default shall exist as of the date of the Extension Notice and on the first day of the Extended Term;

 

(ii)

Borrower has Completed the Improvements;

 

(iii)

(A) The Declaration and Condominium Plans have been recorded and the SCA has taken title to the School Unit, (B) Borrower has no further liability associated with the construction and/or delivery of the School Unit (other than the SCA Pre- and Post-Turnover Work), (C) the Master Lease and Sublease have been terminated and memoranda of termination have been submitted for filing in the forms attached to the School Unit Purchase Agreement or in another form(s) reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

 

 

(iv)

The Offering Plan has been submitted to and accepted for filing by the Attorney General and the Subdivided Residential Units are being marketed for sale;

 

(v)

The Improvements shall be in compliance, in all material respects, with the Business Plan and the Approved Budget;

 

(vi)

Borrower is in compliance with the Sales Pace Covenant.

 

(vii)

All financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 9.1(a) and 9.1(b) of this Agreement have been received and Indemnitor continues to satisfy the Indemnitor’s Financial Covenants;

 

(viii)

Lender shall have received a title continuation from the Title Company that issued the Title Policy indicating that there has been no undischarged new or intervening liens or encumbrances or other matter not previously approved or consented to by Lender in writing (unless contested in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), any cost of such title continuation being the sole responsibility of Borrower;

 

(ix)

The Loan to Value Ratio, measured as of the Initial Maturity Date, shall not be greater than fifty percent (50%). Subject to payment by Borrower of any applicable Breakage Fee, but otherwise without Borrower being required to pay the Minimum Multiple Fee or other fee or penalty, Borrower shall be permitted to prepay the Loan or post cash security or a letter credit, acceptable to Lender in each case, in an amount necessary to satisfy the foregoing Loan to Value Ratio requirement.

 

(x)

If required under Section 8.17, Borrower has entered into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement satisfying the terms of Section 8.17 (or extended the term of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in place if one was required at the time of the Extension Term so that it is coterminous with the remaining Loan Term), which Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be issued by an Issuer satisfying the Rate Cap Rating Criteria and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Lender; and

 

(xi)

Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with Borrower exercising its rights under this Section 2.4(b).

 

Section 2.5           Prepayment. There are no full or partial prepayment privileges of the principal amount of the Loan except as set forth in this Agreement:

 

 

(a)          Except for a prepayment resulting from a casualty or condemnation pursuant to Section 5.2 or 5.3, from a sale of Subdivided Residential Units pursuant to Section 16.2, from a sale of the Retail Unit pursuant to Section 16.2, from a prepayment made to satisfy the Sales Pace Covenant, or from a prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.8(b) (each of the foregoing, collectively, an “Enumerated Permitted Prepayment”), Borrower shall not prepay the Loan in full or in part prior to June 22, 2020 (the “Closed Prepayment Date”). Borrower shall pay Lender a Breakage Fee in connection with any Enumerated Permitted Prepayment that occurs on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period prior to the Closed Prepayment Date (subject to the further provisions of this paragraph (a)) . From and after the Closed Prepayment Date, Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loan (i) in full on any Business Day in connection with an arm’s length sale of the Mortgaged Property to a third party (and specifically excluding any refinancing of the Loan or a sale of the Mortgaged Property to any Affiliate of Borrower, Indemnitor or a Principal), provided that Borrower gives Lender at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intention to make any such prepayment, the Prepayment Date and the amount to be prepaid, and that Borrower also pays to Lender, as consideration for the privilege of making such prepayment, the Exit Fee and the Minimum Multiple Fee and, if the Prepayment Date is not the last day of an Interest Period, that Borrower also pays to Lender, as consideration for the privilege of making such prepayment, a Breakage Fee, (ii) in part on any Business Day in connection with a sale of a Subdivided Residential Unit to a Residential Unit Purchaser pursuant to Section 16.2 or a sale of the Retail Unit pursuant to Section 16.2, provided that Borrower satisfies all applicable conditions set forth in Sections 16.2 and 16.3, and, if the Prepayment Date is not the last day of an Interest Period, that Borrower also pays to Lender, as consideration for the privilege of making such prepayment, a Breakage Fee, and (iii) in whole or part (as applicable) in respect of any other Enumerated Permitted Prepayment and if the Prepayment Date is not the last day of an Interest Period, that Borrower also pays to Lender, as consideration for the privilege of making such prepayment, a Breakage Fee. In lieu of paying the Breakage Fee pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above in this Section 2.5(a), or any Enumerated Permitted Prepayment prior to the Closed Prepayment Date, Borrower may elect by at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Lender to have Lender hold the amount prepaid in the Reserve Account for the sole purpose of applying said amount to the prepayment of the Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period, as long as no Event of Default exists. If Borrower makes the foregoing election, interest will continue to accrue and be payable by Borrower on the amount held by Lender in the Reserve Account until said amount is applied to the prepayment of the Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.5. Unless the Loan is repaid in full with insurance or casualty Proceeds, if the Exit Fee shall be due and payable by Borrower at the time of the repayment of the Loan in full, the payment of the Exit Fee shall be a condition precedent to the release by Lender of the Mortgages and other collateral securing the Loan, except for the release of the School Unit, the Retail Unit and individual Subdivided Residential Units, each in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in full or in part in connection with any refinancing of the Loan until September 22, 2021 (the “Closed Refinancing Prepayment Date”). From and after the Closed Refinancing Prepayment Date, without limiting Borrower’s rights set forth above, Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loan in full (but not in part) on any Business Day as long as no Event of Default exists and Borrower gives Lender at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intention to make any such prepayment, the Prepayment Date and the amount to be prepaid, and Borrower also pays to Lender, as consideration for the privilege of making such prepayment, the Exit Fee and the Minimum Multiple Fee and, if the Prepayment Date is not the last day of an Interest Period, that Borrower also pays to Lender, as consideration for the privilege of making such prepayment, a Breakage Fee. In connection with any prepayment permitted under this Section 2.5(a) or Section 2.4(b)(ix), Borrower shall also reimburse Lender for any actual out-of-pocket costs Lender may incur in connection with such prepayment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Minimum Multiple Fee shall not be payable (x) in connection with a prepayment of the Loan pursuant to subclause (ii) of this Section 2.5(a), even if the Loan is ultimately repaid in full through the sale of Subdivided Residential Units and/or the Retail Unit pursuant to Section 16.2, or in connection with a prepayment made to satisfy the Sales Pace Covenant; provided, however, that such prepayment is limited to the Residential Unit Net Sale Proceeds, Retail Unit Net Sale Proceeds or an amount sufficient to satisfy the Sales Pace Covenant, as applicable, or (y) subject to the provisions of Section 2.5(d), in connection with any other Enumerated Permitted Prepayment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Exit Fee shall be payable in connection with a prepayment to satisfy the Sales Pace Covenant or Section 2.4(b)(ix).

 

 

(i)          The “Minimum Multiple Fee” shall mean an amount equal to the (A) the product of (1) .18 multiplied by (2) the Maximum Loan Amount, less (B) the sum of the following payments actually received by Lender: (1) all interest payments through the date of prepayment at the Contract Rate (but specifically excluding any Default Interest or Late Charge), (2) the Origination Fee, and (3) the Exit Fee.

 

(ii)        The “Exit Fee” shall mean an amount equal to one-quarter of one percent (.25%) of the Maximum Loan Amount.

 

(iii)        The “Breakage Fee” shall be calculated as follows:

 

Breakage Fee =            ((R-L) x P) x D

               360

 

Where:

 

1.

R = Contract Rate on the Prepayment Date

 

2.

L = Current Libor

 

3.

P = The amount to be prepaid on the Prepayment Date

 

4.

D = Number of days remaining in the Interest Period

 

As used herein, “Current LIBOR” means LIBOR determined as reported at 11:00 a.m. on the day that is two (2) London Banking Days prior to the Prepayment Date for the period commencing with the Prepayment Date and extending through the end of the Interest Period.

 

(b)          If the Maturity Date is accelerated by Lender because of the occurrence of an Event of Default prior to the Closed Prepayment Date (an “Acceleration Event”), the acceleration shall be deemed to be an election on the part of Borrower to prepay the Loan. Accordingly, there shall be added to the amount due after an Event of Default prior to the Closed Prepayment Date and resulting acceleration, the Closed Period Prepayment Fee and the Breakage Fee (but not the Minimum Multiple Fee or the Exit Fee), each, calculated as set forth in this Section 2.5 and using as the Prepayment Date the date on which any tender of payment is made, and Borrower agrees to pay same. Any tender of payment made (or judgment entered) after such acceleration, by or on behalf of Borrower (including payment by any guarantor or purchaser at a foreclosure sale), shall include the Closed Period Prepayment Fee, as applicable and the Breakage Fee (but not the Minimum Multiple Fee or the Exit Fee), each computed as provided in this Section 2.5.

 

 

(i)

The “Closed Period Prepayment Fee” shall be an amount equal the product of (A) one hundred thirty percent (130%) and (B) the Minimum Multiple Fee.

 

(c)          There will be due with any principal prepayment, all accrued and unpaid interest on the portion of the principal being prepaid and all other fees, charges and payments due under the Loan Documents.

 

(d)          No Minimum Multiple Fee, Exit Fee or Closed Period Prepayment Fee, as applicable, shall be required to be paid in connection with payment of fire, casualty, or condemnation Proceeds to Lender which Lender requires to be applied to the Indebtedness in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, except if such application to the Indebtedness is after an Event of Default.

 

(e)          Borrower acknowledges and agrees that all of the economic terms set forth in the Loan Documents, including the Contract Rate, have been agreed to by Lender based on Lender’s expectation that the Loan will not be repaid prior to the Maturity Date. However, in order to accommodate Borrower, Lender has agreed to permit Borrower to repay the Loan prior to the Maturity Date in accordance with, and subject to, the terms set forth above provided that, and as consideration for such agreement, Borrower agrees to pay Lender the Minimum Multiple Fee, Exit Fee or Closed Period Prepayment Fee, as applicable. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, even if Lender is able to loan the amount prepaid by Borrower to another Person on the same terms and conditions as herein provided, Lender shall not have fully recovered Lender’s lost profits, costs, expenses and damages suffered as a result of such early prepayment; therefore, Borrower and Lender have agreed on the Minimum Multiple Fee and Exit Fee (or the Closed Period Prepayment Fee) as compensation for Lender’s estimated lost profits, costs, expenses and damages resulting from such prepayment. The Minimum Multiple Fee, Exit Fee or Closed Period Prepayment Fee, as applicable, shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Lender to collect any other amounts provided to be paid under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or pursuant to the provisions of law.

 

Section 2.6           Security. The Loan shall be secured by inter alia (i) the Mortgage creating a first priority lien on the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the Assignment of Leases and Rents creating a first priority lien on the Leases and the Property Income, (iii) the Environmental Indemnification Agreement, (iv) the Recourse Guaranty Agreement, (v) the Carry Guaranty, (vii) the Equity Funding Guaranty, (vii) the Completion Guaranty, and (viii) the other Loan Documents.

 

 

Section 2.7           Payments.

 

(a)          All payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by Borrower under the Loan Documents, shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Lender. Unless otherwise made from the Interest Holdback or the Interest Reserve, all such payments that are regularly scheduled monthly payments of principal, interest or reserves shall be made by Borrower by automatic clearing house (“ACH”) debit of a bank account of Borrower of which Lender has received at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. All other payments from Borrower to Lender shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Lender in writing to Borrower.

 

(b)          If the due date of any payment under the Loan Documents would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue and be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension.

 

(c)          Except for payments received by Lender from the sale by Borrower of Subdivided Residential Units or the Retail Unit and applied by Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7(d) below, each payment received by Lender under the Loan Documents which is not paid by Borrower with respect to a specific Obligation, shall be applied in the following order:

 

(i)

First, to the interest due on any Advances made by Lender under the Loan Documents;

 

(ii)

Next, to the principal amount of any Advances made by Lender under the Loan Documents;

 

(iii)

Next, to Late Charges, attorneys’ fees or any other amount due under any Loan Document save for the amounts described in clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) immediately below;

 

(iv)

Next, to any Minimum Multiple Fee, Exit Fee or Closed Period Prepayment Fee, as applicable and any Breakage Fee then due and payable under this Agreement;

 

(v)

Next, to accrued interest due Lender under the Loan Documents; and

 

(vi)

Finally, to the principal balance of the Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default or in the event that Borrower does not pay the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest due under this Agreement, when due, whether on the Maturity Date or on any earlier date as a result of any Acceleration Event, Lender, at its option, shall apply any payments it then receives in such order as Lender deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

 

 

(d)          To the extent Borrower has sold a Subdivided Residential Unit or the Retail Unit and pays Residential Unit Net Sale Proceeds or the Retail Unit Net Sales Proceeds, as applicable, to Lender in accordance with this Agreement, such payments shall be applied in the following order:

 

(i)

First, to the interest due on any Advances made by Lender under the Loan Documents;

 

(ii)

Next, to the principal amount of any Advances made by Lender under the Loan Documents;

 

(iii)

Next, to Late Charges, attorneys’ fees or any other amount due under any Loan Document save for the amounts described in clauses (iv) and (v) immediately below;

 

(iv)

Next, to any Exit Fee or Closed Period Prepayment Fee, as applicable and any Breakage Fee then due and payable under this Agreement;

 

(v)

Next, to the payment of accrued interest then due Lender under the Loan Documents, to the extent that the Interest Holdback or Interest Reserve is insufficient, in Lender’s reasonable discretion; and

 

(vi)

Finally, to the principal balance of the Loan.

 

Section 2.8           LIBOR Provisions.

 

(a)          If (i) any requirement of law or any change therein, or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender in good faith to make or maintain the Loan bearing interest at LIBOR (plus the applicable spread), or (ii) Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, U.S. dollar deposits, in an amount approximately equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, are not generally available at such time in the interbank Eurodollar market or that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any particular Interest Period, then (x) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make the Loan bearing interest at LIBOR (plus the applicable spread) shall be canceled forthwith and (y) the Contract Rate shall (notwithstanding anything provided in Section 2.2 to the contrary) automatically convert to the Adjusted Rate commencing on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any reasonable third party costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the Loan. Upon written demand from Borrower, Lender shall demonstrate in reasonable detail the circumstances giving rise to Lender’s determination and the calculation substantiating the Adjusted Rate and any additional costs incurred by Lender in making the conversion, which, upon written notice thereof from Lender, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In the event Lender shall determine in its good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower) that the aforesaid circumstances no longer exist, the Contract Rate shall be converted back to LIBOR plus the applicable spread (determined as provided in Section 2.2(a)) commencing on the first day of the Interest Period which occurs at least three (3) days after such determination by Lender.

 

 

(b)          In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof other than charges relating to income, excise, franchise or other taxes applicable to Lender, or compliance in good faith by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued by any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

 

(i)

shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds, by any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;

 

(ii)

shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or

 

(iii)

shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable as determined by Lender (collectively, “Increased Costs”). Any determination under this Section 2.8(b) shall be made in good faith and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any Increased Costs pursuant to this Section, Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event or circumstance by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully-compensate Lender for such Increased Costs. A certificate as to any Increased Costs submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Such certificate shall set forth Lender’s method of calculating the amount of such Increased Costs. In the event Lender makes a request for compensation of Increased Costs in an amount that is greater than ten percent (10%) of the principal balance of the Loan, Borrower shall, upon payment of the same, have the right to prepay the Loan in full without penalty or premium. This provision shall survive the repayment of the Loan and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents.

 

 

(c)          Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from, and be responsible for paying, any Conversion Costs, which obligation shall survive payment of the Loan in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents. As used herein “Conversion Costs” means any reasonable interest, cost, loss or expense which Lender sustains, incurs or must pay as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on the Loan while bearing interest at LIBOR (plus the applicable spread), including any such interest, fee and expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to any lender providing Lender with its LIBOR funds, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Loan on a day other than on last day of an Interest Period, or without sufficient prior written notice as required under this Agreement (without duplication of the Breakage Fee), and (iii) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever and whether voluntary or involuntary) of LIBOR (plus the applicable spread) to the Adjusted Rate on a day other than on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at LIBOR (plus the applicable spread), including any arising from interest or fees payable or which would be payable by Lender to any lender providing Lender with its LIBOR funds. Conversion Costs shall include any applicable Prepayment Fee or Closed Period Prepayment Fee, calculated by multiplying (A) the Prepayment Fee or Closed Period Prepayment Fee, as applicable required to be paid under Section 2.5 determined as if the entire principal amount of the Loan were being prepaid, by (B) a fraction the numerator of which shall be the amount then being prepaid and the denominator of which shall be the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan prior to such prepayment.

 

(d)          All payments made by Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, Foreign Taxes, excluding, in the case of Lender, taxes measured by its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it. If any non-excluded Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender under the Loan Documents, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all non-excluded Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable under the Loan Documents at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any non-excluded Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such non-excluded Foreign Tax. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from, and be responsible for paying, any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such non-excluded Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority, or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence. Lender’s inability to notify Borrower of any such Foreign Tax in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall in no way relieve Borrower of its obligations under this Section. As used herein “Foreign Taxes” means, collectively, income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, which are imposed, enacted or become effective after the date hereof. As used herein “Governmental Authority” shall mean any court, board, agency, commission, office or other authority of any nature whatsoever, or any governmental unit (federal, state, county, district, municipal, city or otherwise) whether new or hereafter in existence. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the foregoing obligation to pay such additional amounts resulting from the payment of Foreign Taxes and to indemnify Lender shall not apply to any Foreign Tax that is imposed on amounts payable to the Lender under the Loan Documents on the date of this Agreement (or on the date that it becomes a Lender hereunder) or is attributable solely to Lender’s failure to provide Borrower with proper and sufficient evidence under the IRS Code to establish that it is exempt from (or eligible for a reduced rate of) Foreign Tax with respect to amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

 

 

Section 2.9           Interest Reserve. Whenever the amount of unfunded Loan Advances available to Borrower under the Interest Holdback is less than One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,250,000.00), Borrower shall fund a reserve (the “Interest Reserve”) within five (5) Business Days following Lender’s request in an amount equal to Three Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($3,750,000.00). The Interest Reserve funds shall be held by Lender in an interest bearing account established by and under the sole control of Lender at a financial institution selected by Lender (subject to Borrower’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), which financial institution must meet the Rating Criteria (the “Reserve Account”). If at any time the balance in the Interest Reserve falls below One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,250,000.00), Borrower shall make an additional deposit sufficient to replenish the balance of the Interest Reserve to an amount equal to Three Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($3,750,000.00) within five (5) Business Days following Lender’s request; provided, however, that once the Maximum Loan Amount (or if Borrower waives the right to request any further Disbursements to Borrower in writing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan on the date that Borrower has so waived its right) has been repaid through Residential Unit Net Sale Proceeds and/or Retail Unit Net Sales Proceeds (i) by fifty percent (50%), if the balance in the Interest Reserve falls below $1,250,000, Borrower shall be required to make an additional deposit sufficient to replenish the balance of the Interest Reserve to an amount equal to Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00) within five (5) Business Days following Lender’s request, and (ii) by seventy-five percent (75%), if the balance in the Interest Reserve falls below $1,250,000, Borrower shall be required to make an additional deposit sufficient to replenish the balance of the Interest Reserve to an amount equal to One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,250,000.00) within five (5) Business Days following Lender’s request, in the case of each of clauses “(i)” and “(ii)”, in lieu of being required to replenish the Interest Reserve to an amount equal to $3,750,000. The Interest Reserve and Borrower’s replenishment obligation hereunder will terminate and any funds remaining in the Interest Reserve shall be returned to Borrower upon full repayment of the Indebtedness.

 

Section 2.10         Reserve Account. The Reserve Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender. All interest earned on the Reserve Account shall be allocated to Borrower for income tax purposes, but it shall be added to and disbursed as a part of the Interest Reserve. Borrower hereby assigns and grants Lender a security interest in the Interest Reserve funds in the Reserve Account as security for payment and performance of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents. All Interest Reserve funds in the Reserve Account shall be additional security for the Loan, and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall be authorized to apply such funds to Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents in such order and priority as Lender may elect in its sole discretion. Lender shall have a perfected first priority security interest in the Reserve Account.

 

 

Section 2.11         Control Accounts. The Control Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender. The Control Accounts shall be opened in the name of Lender, provided that Borrower shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in such Control Accounts for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes. The Control Bank at which the Control Accounts will be held shall be selected by Lender (subject to Borrower’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Other than as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, neither Borrower nor Indemnitor nor any party claiming on behalf of, or through Borrower or Indemnitor, shall have any right to transfer, withdraw, access or otherwise direct the disposition of funds on deposit in the Control Accounts or have any other right or power with respect to the Control Accounts and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Control Accounts shall be paid by Borrower. Lender shall have no liability for any loss or damage with respect to such funds (including, without limitation, with regard to the Control Bank) (except to the extent such funds are actually disbursed into the Control Accounts and either (i) Lender fails to disburse same in accordance with the terms of this Agreement after Borrower has satisfied all conditions precedent to a Disbursement to Borrower or a School Payment Disbursement, as applicable, or (ii) Lender disburses such funds in a manner which is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement and such disbursement was not otherwise agreed to or requested by Borrower in writing), the disbursement thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the application of any such funds by Borrower or SCA to the extent disbursed to either of them.

 

(a)          School Cost and Purchase Control Account. Pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2 of the Triparty Agreement, and unless otherwise directed by Lender after an Event of Default occurs, all School Cost Payments shall be paid by SCA depositing such funds on or before the due date thereof under the School Unit Purchase Agreement directly into an account designated by Lender in writing at the Control Bank (the “School Cost and Purchase Control Account”).

 

(b)          School Purchase Control Account. Lender shall instruct the Control Bank to transfer all School Cost Payments representing Land Value Payments and School Construction Supervision Fee Payments into a subaccount (the “School Purchase Control Account”) with the Control Bank. Provided that Borrower has satisfied all of the conditions to a Disbursement to Borrower under this Agreement, amounts deposited into the School Purchase Control Account shall be available as a disbursement to Borrower (such disbursement, a “School Payment Disbursement”) from the School Purchase Control Account to pay (or reimburse Borrower) the costs of the Project (actually billed) other than School Costs in accordance with the Line Items specified in the Approved Budget. School Payment Disbursements shall be credited towards the Additional Equity contributions required to be made by Borrower under this Agreement. At any time when an Event of Default exists, Lender shall be entitled to disburse amounts deposited into the School Purchase Control Account directly to the payment of costs associated with the Project in any manner and in such amounts determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. All funds in the School Purchase Control Account shall be additional security for the Loan, and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall be authorized to apply such funds to Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents in such order and priority as Lender may elect in its sole discretion.

 

 

(c)          School Cost Control Account. Lender shall instruct the Control Bank to transfer all other School Cost Payments (i.e., School Cost Payments that do not consist of Land Value Payments and School Construction Supervision Fee Payments) into a subaccount (the “School Cost Control Account”) with the Control Bank. Provided that no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred, on each Business Day on which available funds are on deposit in the School Cost Control Account, Control Bank shall transfer all such available funds to Borrower’s Operating Account. Borrower shall use all amounts disbursed from the School Cost Control Account into Borrower’s Operating Account solely for (or to reimburse Borrower for) the payment of School Costs in accordance with the applicable Requisition and terms and conditions of the School Unit Purchase Agreement. At any time while an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default exists, Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to instruct the Control Bank, to immediately cease all transfers from the School Cost Control Account into Borrower’s Operating Account and, while an Event of Default exists, to disburse amounts deposited directly to the payment of School Costs for which such funds were deposited (to the extent such School Costs were not already paid) as identified in the applicable Requisition or to return such funds to the SCA.

 

(d)          At any time when an Event of Default exists or if Borrower does not otherwise satisfy the conditions precedent to a Disbursement to Borrower from the Interest Reserve or the Interest Holdback set forth in Section 3.6 of this Agreement, Lender may deduct interest payments due under this Agreement from the School Purchase Control Account.

 

(e)          Upon Borrower’s conveyance of the School Unit to the SCA in accordance with the terms of the School Unit Purchase Agreement, any funds remaining in the School Purchase Control Account and School Cost Control Account will be transferred to a deposit account established by Lender with the Control Bank or a bank reasonably acceptable to Lender and Borrower and satisfying the Rating Criteria, which shall be under Lender’s sole dominion and control or that of Lender’s agent and pursuant to the terms of a deposit control account agreement acceptable to Lender. Funds shall be disbursed from such Control Account in the same manner and under the same conditions as a Disbursement to Borrower but must first be exhausted prior to making any Disbursement to Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b)          Each date of a Disbursement to Borrower is herein referred to as a “Disbursement Date”.

 

(c)          Each Disbursement to Borrower shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Loan and will be subject to the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents.

 

Section 3.2           Required Equity.

Borrower shall not be entitled to the Term Loan proceeds until (in addition to satisfying all other conditions applicable to such disbursement) Borrower has delivered evidence, satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion, that Borrower has contributed the Initial Required Equity into the Project. Borrower acknowledges that, as of the Closing Date, the evidence provided by Borrower remains subject to verification and that the foregoing sentence shall not be deemed an acknowledgement by Lender that such Initial Required Equity has in fact been contributed to the Project. Lender shall not be obligated to make any Disbursements to Borrower under this Agreement until any shortage in the Initial Required Equity required to be contributed as of the Closing Date is actually contributed.

 

(b)          Additional Equity Requirements after the Closing Date. No later than October 22, 2021, Borrower shall have either (i) contributed the Required Equity into the Project or (ii) deposited with Lender the positive difference, if any, between (A) Required Equity less (B) the sum of (1) the Initial Required Equity, (2) the School Construction Supervision Fee which is still scheduled to be contributed under the School Unit Purchase Agreement, and (3) all Additional Equity contributed to date.

(b)          Each Draw Request (i) must specifically request the portion of the Disbursement to Borrower to be made under the Building Loan, the portion of the Disbursement to Borrower to be made under the Project Loan, and the amount of the School Payment Disbursement to be made from the School Purchase Control Account (which allocation shall be subject to confirmation by Lender and shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), (ii) except for the final Disbursement to Borrower, must be for an amount equal to or greater than $250,000.00, and (iii) shall not be submitted more often than once a month. Lender shall diligently and reasonably promptly process each Draw Request following receipt by Lender of the Draw Request and all required accompanying information and materials in compliance with the provisions of this Article 3. Lender shall use reasonable efforts to confirm the satisfaction all conditions precedent to a given Disbursement set forth in this Agreement within five (5) Business Days following such satisfaction, and, in all events, Lender shall confirm the satisfaction of such conditions precedent within seven (7) Business Days following such satisfaction. Lender shall make such Disbursement to Borrower within five (5) Business Days after Lender has confirmed the satisfaction of the conditions precedent thereto set forth herein as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Disbursements to Borrower and School Payment Disbursements are not permitted to be used for the payment of any School Costs.

 

 

(c)          Each Draw Request shall be accompanied by (i) a progress report (as described in Section 4.3 hereof), (ii) to the extent not previously furnished to Lender, the most current quarterly or annual, as applicable, financial statements for Borrower, as well as a balance sheet, (iii) to the extent not previously furnished to Lender, copies of certified income and expense statements for the Property; (iv) detailed line item descriptions of the costs to be reimbursed or paid with the Disbursement to Borrower and School Payment Disbursement and the corresponding Line Items under which such costs fall, (v) any Additional Equity, if required to be deposited with Lender under this Agreement or an Equity Deposit, if required to be deposited under Section 3.3(t) relating to an increase in the hard costs related to the School Fit-Out Work (as defined in the School Unit Purchase Agreement); and (vi) such documents and instruments as Lender may reasonably request to establish that each person performing labor or supplying materials has been paid or will be paid (to the extent payment is due) from the funds advanced pursuant to said Draw Request for all work performed and materials supplied through the date of the Draw Request, including without limitation, Acceptable Invoices, paid invoices, applicable AIA forms, and conditional or unconditional lien waivers from the Contractor, Major Subcontractors and other subcontractors, as applicable. Each Draw Request shall be deemed to be a renewal of all Borrower’s warranties and representations in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as updated to reflect changed facts which do not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the extent an Equity Deposit has been made by Borrower into the Loan Reserve, Disbursements to Borrower shall be made first from such Equity Deposits.

 

(d)          Each Draw Request must also include a Borrower Certification, which, inter alia, includes a representation and warranty (i) that SCA has approved and funded (or Borrower has funded or caused to be funded) the Public School Project Costs included in all prior Requisitions and attaching a copy of each Requisition delivered to and approved by the SCA with respect to said Public School Project Costs, to the extent required under the School Unit Purchase Agreement, (ii) that identifies the Public School Project Costs paid (or reimbursed) from the Control Accounts, (iii) that such Draw Request does not violate the provisions of the School Unit Purchase Agreement, and (iv) that all Change Orders to date either have not required SCA’s prior consent or if such consent was required pursuant to the terms of the School Unit Purchase Agreement, such consent has been obtained in writing and that a copy of any such consent has been delivered to Lender in connection with the applicable Change Order request.

School Payment Disbursements to Borrower shall be used to pay the Contractor concurrently with the payments to the Contractor for costs of the Project (other than School Costs) that are covered by the applicable Draw Request.

 

 

(e)          In the event that (x) the SCA fails to fund any School Cost Payments when required under the terms of the School Unit Purchase Agreement, or (y) Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that the SCA will not fund a particular Requisition, as a result of Borrower failing to satisfy a condition precedent to such obligation of the SCA to fund said School Cost Payments or otherwise (the parties agreeing that Lender’s determination shall be deemed reasonable if the SCA has not funded any School Cost Payments for more than seventy-five (75) days after Borrower submitted to SCA a Requisition with respect to such School Cost Payment pursuant to subsection 5.02(c)(iii) of the School Unit Purchase Agreement (but if SCA’s failure to so fund any School Cost Payment falls within an annual payment moratorium of The City of New York pursuant to Section 9.02(a) of the School Unit Purchase Agreement, Lender’s determination shall only be deemed reasonable if the SCA has not funded any School Cost Payments by the later to occur of (i) seventy-five (75) days after Borrower submitted to SCA a Requisition with respect to such School Cost Payment pursuant to subsection 5.02(c)(iii) of the School Unit Purchase Agreement, and (ii) seventy-five (75) days after the date of the expiration of such annual moratoriam)), Borrower shall have twenty (20) Business Days from the date that the SCA is required to fund said unfunded School Cost Payments pursuant to the terms of the School Unit Purchase Agreement in the case of (x) and ten (10) days from said Lender’s determination in the case of (y), to fund such unfunded School Cost Payments into the School Purchase Control Account. Said funds in the School Purchase Control Account shall not be available as a School Payment Disbursement unless and until all of Borrower’s Required Equity shall be contributed. Lender shall not be required to make any Disbursement to Borrower until such unfunded School Cost Payment has been made by Borrower or the SCA. Borrower acknowledges that Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights and remedies against the SCA relating to said failure by the SCA to fund any School Cost Payment.

 

Section 3.5           Disbursements to Borrower for Hard Costs.

 

(a)          Each Draw Request for Hard Costs shall be accompanied by a Contractor’s Application for Payment together with AIA form G702 and AIA form G703 signed by the Contractor and the Architect, and indicating the percentage of completion of each Hard Cost Line Item set forth in the Approved Budget;

 

(b)          Each Draw Request for Hard Costs shall be based upon the percentage of completion of the Hard Cost Line Items. The percentage of completion shall be based upon the Architect’s certificate of job progress, or the report of the Inspector, whichever is less;

 

(c)          From each Disbursement to Borrower for the payment of Hard Costs (other than the Contractor’s fee and general conditions costs), Lender shall withhold ten percent (10%) retainage (the “Retainage”); provided, however, upon the completion of fifty percent (50%) of the work with respect to any given subcontract, as determined by Borrower (subject to Lender and Inspector approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)), Lender shall withhold zero percent (0%) retainage thereafter with respect to such subcontract.  Additionally, upon substantial completion of the work with respect to any given subcontract substantially in accordance with the Approved Plans, as certified by Borrower and confirmed by the Inspector (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Lender shall permit Retainage with respect to such subcontract to be disbursed subject to the satisfaction of the other applicable disbursement conditions herein; provided that after substantial completion and until final completion of such subcontractor’s work, Retainage for such subcontract shall equal two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the work under such subcontractor plus 200% of the remaining punch-list work to be performed by such subcontractor.

 

 

(d)          If any Draw Request covers, in whole or in part, a payment for materials not incorporated into the Improvements (“Stored Materials”), Lender shall have no obligation to make such disbursement unless Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, from evidence provided by Borrower, that (i) the materials are stored at a location on the Land reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) the materials are fully insured under a reasonably satisfactory insurance policy naming Lender and Borrower as loss payees, (iii) the materials are identifiable, and are properly segregated from materials not intended for the Construction Work, (iv) if required by Lender, the Inspector shall have inspected such materials and verified satisfaction of the foregoing requirements (which verification shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (v) Lender has a perfected security interest in the Stored Materials. Subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions but notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lender will fund no more than $5,000,000.00 for Stored Materials at any one time; and

 

(e)          Prior to any Disbursements to Borrower to pay for Hard Costs, Lender must receive, and approve (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) the substance and conclusions of, a written report from the Inspector which will include a review and comment on Borrower’s monthly Draw Request, construction progress, percentage complete, conformity with Approved Plans and Legal Requirements, the activity and coordinating among trades, the quality of workmanship, the accuracy of the Borrower’s estimates of the percentage of work completed, a list of all pending and approved Change Orders and confirmation of whether remaining Funds not yet advanced as Disbursements to Borrower, together with School Cost Payments not yet advanced by the SCA, are sufficient for Borrower to achieve Completion of the Construction Work. Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Inspector to timely provide the foregoing report.

 

Section 3.6           Disbursements for Payment of Interest from the Interest Holdback and Interest Reserve. The Approved Budget contains a Line Item for interest payments payable under the Building Loan Note to be advanced under the Building Loan in the amount of up to SEVENTEEN MILLION NINETY FOUR THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED TEN AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($17,094,710.00) (the “Building Loan Interest Holdback”) and a Line Item for interest payments payable under the Project Loan Note and the Term Loan Note to be advanced under the Project Loan in the amount of up to TWELVE MILLION NINE HUNDRED FIVE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED NINETY AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($12,905,290.00) (the “Project Loan and Term Loan Interest Holdback”; collectively with the Building Loan Interest Holdback, the “Interest Holdback”). To the extent there is cash flow from the Property, Borrower shall use said cash flow to pay all Actual Debt Service under the Notes. To the extent that the cash flow from the Property is insufficient to pay the Actual Debt Service, Funds in the Interest Holdback (or if Borrower has funded the Interest Reserve under Section 2.9, Funds in the Reserve Account, until such Funds are exhausted) shall be applied by Lender as a Disbursement to Borrower to make the monthly interest payments on the Loan that become due and payable prior to the date on which all Disbursements to Borrower from the Interest Holdback have been made provided that the following conditions remain satisfied: (i) no Event of Default exists, (ii) the Loan is not Out of Balance, and (iii) Borrower continues to satisfy the provisions of Section 2.9. Each Disbursement to Borrower from the Interest Holdback shall increase the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Loan. Nothing herein is intended or shall be construed to alter or limit Borrower’s obligation to make the monthly interest payments on the Loan if the Interest Holdback and the Interest Reserve are inadequate or the conditions under Section 3.3 are not satisfied.

 

 

Section 3.7          Final Disbursement to Borrower for Hard Costs and Soft Costs. The final Disbursement to Borrower from the Building Loan and the Project Loan, including the Retainage (but excluding the Funds necessary pursuant to Section 3.17 below to establish the Punch List Sub Reserve), shall be disbursed only upon Lender’s receipt of the following:

 

(a)          Evidence that the Borrower has achieved Completion of the Construction Work and Project;

 

(b)          Evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that Hard Costs other than with respect to Punch List Items shall, upon making the final Disbursement to Borrower, have been paid in full;

 

(c)          An endorsement to the title policy issued by the Title Company updating the coverage through the date of the final disbursement and showing no exceptions to title other than those previously approved by Lender;

 

(d)          Evidence (which may consist of a certified statement by Borrower) that Borrower has accepted the Improvements as complete from the Contractor, subject to completion of Punch List Items; and

 

(e)          Evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the undisbursed portion of the Interest Holdback and, if applicable, the Interest Reserve, is sufficient to pay all Assumed Debt Service on the Loan until the date that Subdivided Residential Units are projected to start to be conveyed to Residential Unit Purchasers.

 

Section 3.8          Deliveries after Completion of the Construction Work. Within thirty (30) days following Completion of the Construction Work, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the following items in form and content acceptable to Lender:

 

(a)          Three copies of an ALTA/ACSM “Class A” Land Title Survey of the Project describing the dimensions and location of all Improvements constructed in place prepared in accordance with the terms of Exhibit J attached hereto;

 

(b)          One set of “as built” plans and specifications for the Improvements (or construction drawings marked to show changes in the course of construction);

 

(c)          A final personal property inventory and evidence of full payment for personal property in which Lender has or is to have a security interest;

 

 

(d)          An itemized statement showing the costs of construction incurred for construction of the Project, which statement shall be certified to Lender as materially true and correct by an officer of Borrower and other such additional information Lender may reasonably request in order to verify such cost of construction;

 

(e)          Such certificates and other evidence as Lender may reasonably require that Borrower is in compliance with all insurance requirements under the Loan Documents;

 

(f)           An updated Phase I environmental report dated after Completion of the Construction Work satisfying the requirements set forth in Exhibit K attached hereto and otherwise acceptable to Lender in all material respects as determined in Lender’s reasonable discretion; and

 

(g)          Lender shall have reviewed and approved (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) a true, correct and complete copy of the Management Agreement relating to the Project in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5.

 

Section 3.9           Contingency: Reallocations. Borrower shall have the right to recognize up to $500,000.00 per any one Line Item of Available Cost Savings and a total Available Cost Savings of up to $2,000,000.00. Any Available Costs Savings realized in excess of the foregoing amounts must be approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion. Subject to this Section 3.9, Borrower shall have the right to reallocate Available Cost Savings in Line Items to cost overruns in other Line Items. The Line Item designated “Contingency” (the “Contingency Line Item”) represents an amount necessary to provide reasonable assurances to Lender that additional Funds are available to be used if the allowances for certain items in the Construction Contract are not sufficient or if additional costs and expenses are incurred or additional interest accrues on the Loan, or unanticipated events or problems occur. The Approved Budget shall contain a Contingency Line Item equal to a minimum of six and one-half percent (6.5%) of the unpaid Hard Costs to Complete the Project as of the date hereof and five percent (5.0%) of unpaid Soft Costs to Complete the Project as of the date hereof. Borrower may from time to time request that portions of the Contingency Line Item be reallocated to other Line Items. Such requests shall be subject to Lender’s written approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall be granted provided that, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, there are sufficient amounts remaining in the Contingency Line Item, to protect against cost overruns and other unanticipated events or circumstances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 3.9, Borrower shall in no event or under any circumstances have the right (i) to reallocate any Available Cost Savings in a Line Item for any Hard Costs to a Line Item other than another Line Item for Hard Costs, without in each instance obtaining Lender’s prior written approval, (ii) to reallocate any Available Cost Savings in a Line Item for Soft Costs to a Line Item for Hard Costs without in each instance obtaining Lender’s prior written approval, (iii) to reallocate Funds in the Interest Holdback to other Line Items, or (iv) in any event, to cause a reallocation to occur that in the reasonable opinion of Lender, its counsel or the Title Company, will be in contravention of the Lien Law, or that in the reasonable opinion of Lender, its counsel or the Title Company will adversely affect or impair the lien or the priority of lien of the Mortgage.

 

 

Section 3.10         Developer Fee. The Developer Fee set forth in the Approved Budget shall not exceed $4,500,000.00 (the “Developer Fee”) in the aggregate and subject to the satisfaction of all the conditions of a Disbursement to Borrower, will be funded as follows: (i) not more than $1,000,000 of the Developer Fee shall be funded by Lender on the Closing Date and (ii) the remainder of the Developer Fee shall be paid on a straight line monthly basis in equal installments over the 42-month period of construction of the Project (the “Monthly Developer Fee”), commencing as of the date of issuance to the Contractor of a notice to proceed. In the event of any revision to the Construction Timeline approved by Lender, the amount of the Monthly Developer Fee to be paid to Borrower each month shall be equitably recalculated, and Borrower shall submit for Lender’s approval a revised payment schedule which uniformly allocates the applicable unpaid portion of the then projected Monthly Developer Fee to the remaining duration of the applicable Construction Timeline. The timing and amount of such installment of the Monthly Developer Fee may be further adjusted, from time to time, based on Borrower’s reasonable revisions to the Construction Timeline that are approved in writing by Lender.

 

Section 3.11         Balancing; Loan Reserve. If at any time during the term of the Loan, Lender reasonably determines that the Loan is Out of Balance (taking into account any Interest Rate Protection Agreements in place, amounts remaining in the Contingency Line Item available for the Project on a percentage complete basis and Available Cost Savings), Borrower shall, prior to any further Disbursements to Borrower being made by Lender, make an additional Equity Deposit in an amount sufficient to bring the Loan “in balance” for deposit into the Loan Reserve within twenty (20) Business Days following demand from Lender. Such additional Equity Deposits shall not be counted towards Borrower’s Required Equity. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) it is expressly understood and agreed that Borrower shall cause the Loan to be “in balance” at all times, and (ii) Lender shall not be obligated to make any Disbursements to Borrower if the Loan is Out of Balance. The Loan shall be deemed “Out of Balance” if the ratio, expressed as a percent, of (a) the remaining costs to achieve Completion of the Construction Work, inclusive of required interest due under the Loan at the Contract Rate, each as reasonably determined by Lender, to (b) the sum of (i) the unfunded portion of the Building Loan and the Project Loan (inclusive of any undisbursed portion of the Interest Holdback but specifically excluding, however, unfunded amounts of the Building Loan and the Project Loan that are budgeted for the payment of leasing commissions, tenant improvement allowances and tenant improvement work), (ii) the remaining Additional Equity to be funded by Borrower plus the Equity Deposits, if any, then held by Lender, (iii) the Interest Reserve and (iv) the School Cost Payments that remain to be funded by the SCA under the School Unit Purchase Agreement (so long as no default by the SCA shall have occurred thereunder which continues after the giving of any applicable notice and expiration of the applicable cure period; provided, however, that School Cost Payments that the SCA fails to fund when required under the terms of the School Unit Purchase Agreement or which Lender reasonably determines under Section 3.4(e)(y) will not be funded by the SCA shall not be taken into account in the forgoing calculation), is greater than one-hundred percent (100%). The unfunded portions of the Building Loan, the Project Loan and the Additional Equity will include the required Contingency, as reasonably determined by Lender based upon the then current percent of completion, and Available Cost Savings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.4(e) or this Section 3.11, the Loan shall not be deemed to be Out of Balance due to the fact that a default by SCA under the School Unit Purchase Agreement shall have occurred which continues after the giving of any applicable notice and expiration of the applicable cure period, SCA shall have failed to fund any School Cost Payments when required under the terms of the School Unit Purchase Agreement or Lender has reasonably determined under Section 3.4(e)(y) that certain School Cost Payments will not be funded by SCA, in any such case, so long as Borrower or SCA thereafter funds each School Cost Payment on or prior to the later to occur of (x) the date upon which such School Cost Payment would have been payable by SCA under the School Unit Purchase Agreement if not for such default by SCA, failure to fund by SCA or determination by Lender or (y) the date upon which Borrower is required to make such payment pursuant Section 3.4(e)(y).

 

 

Section 3.12         Manner of Disbursement. Lender shall make Disbursements to Borrower directly into Borrower’s Operating Account; provided, that if an Event of a Default exists and Lender elects to make a Disbursement to Borrower in its sole discretion, Lender may, at its option, make said Disbursement to Borrower through a title insurance company, or directly or by joint payee check to contractors, material suppliers, laborers and other persons entitled thereto.

 

Section 3.13         Expenses, Fees and Interest. Borrower shall pay all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Disbursements to Borrower, including, without limitation, the Control Accounts, Administrator’s fees, Inspector’s fees, actual out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses to inspect any new or renovated Improvements, any recording and filing charges and any title insurance company charges. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, upon ten (10) days prior notice to, but without authorization from, Borrower, Lender may elect to use the Funds to pay when due any fees owed by Borrower to Lender, the Administrator or the Inspector under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, interest on the Loan, reasonable legal fees and costs of Lender’s or Lender’s attorneys which are payable by Borrower, and such other sums as may be payable from time to time by Borrower to Lender or the Administrator under the Loan Documents if such payment is not made by Borrower within such ten (10)-day period. Such payments, at the option of Lender, may be made by debiting or charging the Funds in the amount of such payments without first disbursing such amount to Borrower and shall be deemed to be a Disbursement to Borrower.

 

Section 3.14         Use of Funds. All Disbursements to Borrower shall be used only to pay the costs set out in the Approved Budget and only in accordance with a Draw Request approved by Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

 

Section 3.15        Responsibility For Application of Funds. Lender shall not have any obligation to assure that Disbursements to Borrower are applied against the costs shown in the Draw Request, and Borrower accepts sole and full responsibility for and warrants proper application of all such disbursements. Borrower hereby releases and agrees to hold harmless, protect, indemnify, and defend Lender and its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, and agents from all Losses, demands, claims, and expenses that arise out or are related to any alleged misapplication or misuse of Funds by Borrower or anyone acting on behalf of Borrower.

 

 

Section 3.16         Governmental Set Asides. In the event that any Funds are set aside (“Set Aside Funds”) for purposes of meeting any governmental requirements to pay for performance obligations imposed on Borrower, such Set Aside Funds shall be treated as Disbursements to Borrower on the date they are set aside. The Set Aside Funds shall, in Lender’s sole discretion, either be held in the Loan Reserve (and not be eligible to be used for Disbursements to Borrower), and shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in the Set Aside Funds to secure the Obligations. Upon the satisfaction by Borrower of all work and other governmental requirements that are secured by the Set Aside Funds, as long as no Event of Default exists, the Set Aside Funds shall be released by Lender from the Loan Reserve and disbursed by Lender from the Loan Reserve in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

Section 3.17         Punch List Sub Reserve. Upon Completion, Borrower shall deposit into the Loan Reserve (which deposit, as long as the Loan is not Out of Balance, may be funded by available Loan proceeds from the applicable line items for the costs in question as well as contingency line item in the Approved Budget) an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of Lender’s estimate of costs to complete the Punch List Items (such amounts deposited in the Loan Reserve, the “Punch List Sub Reserve”). Funds in the Punch List Sub Reserve shall be disbursed to Borrower, in a single disbursement, upon completion of the Punch List Items in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.10 of this Agreement, as confirmed by Lender in its reasonable discretion.

 

Section 3.18         Funding for Deposits. If any Draw Request covers, in whole or in part, the payment of a deposit or deposits to a vendor or supplier of construction materials, supplies or components for the Construction Work, Lender shall have no obligation to make such disbursement unless (i) said deposit and the vendor or supplier that is the payee are identified in the Draw Request, and (ii) said deposit is identified on and does not exceed the amount set forth on Exhibit I.

 

Section 3.19         Personal to Borrower. Disbursements to Borrower are personally available to and for the sole benefit of TPHGreenwich Owner LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and shall not be available to or assignable to any other person or party. Any right to request a Disbursement to Borrower shall terminate and become null and void upon any transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof in violation of this Agreement, or upon any unauthorized Conveyance.

 

Section 3.20         EB-5 Investments. EB-5 investors shall not be permitted to contribute any equity to the Project without Lender’s prior written approval, which approval may be withheld in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.

 

Section 3.21         Union Labor. Lender encourages Borrower to seek competitive union bids where applicable on any subcontracts for Construction Work estimated to cost over Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00).

 

Section 3.22         Change in Scope of Project. In the event that the SCA has materially defaulted under the School Unit Purchase Agreement, Borrower may request that Lender consent to a change in the scope of the Project, which consent may be withheld in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.

CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS

 

Section 4.1           Commencement and Completion of Construction.

 

(a)          If not already commenced, Borrower shall use good faith efforts to commence the Construction Work within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date and Borrower shall thereafter diligently and continuously pursue the achievement of Completion. The Construction Work shall be performed and the Improvements shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner, free from all material defects in materials or workmanship. The Construction Work shall conform in all material respects to the Business Plan, the School Unit Purchase Agreement, the Approved Plans and all Legal Requirements, as same may be modified in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Construction Work shall proceed diligently and Borrower shall achieve Completion of the Construction Work and the Improvements on or before the Completion Date. In the case that there is a Force Majeure event, the Completion Date shall be extended on a day-for-day basis for each calendar day that Borrower is unable to complete the Construction Work by the Completion Date provided that (i) written notice of each such delaying cause is received by Lender within twelve (12) Business Days after Borrower first becomes aware of the commencement of each such delaying cause and again within twelve (12) Business Days after Borrower becomes aware of any termination or cessation thereof and (ii) the Completion Date shall in no event be extended beyond the date which is 45 months following the Closing Date (i.e., September 19, 2021) (the “Outside Completion Date”), TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, and (iii) the Loan is not Out of Balance (or sufficient Additional Equity has been contributed such that the Loan is no longer Out of Balance).

 

(b)          Borrower shall achieve each of the following conditions on or before the date specified therefor (each such condition shall be referred to individually as a “Milestone Construction Hurdle” and the corresponding dates for Borrower to achieve such Milestone Construction Hurdle are referred to individually as a “Milestone Deadline”) in each case, as such date may be extended due to Force Majeure on a day-for-day basis for each day that Borrower is unable to achieve the applicable Milestone Construction Hurdle by the applicable Milestone Deadline; provided, however, no Milestone Deadline shall be extended due to a Force Majeure event (i) beyond the applicable “Outside Milestone Date” set forth below, or (ii) beyond the Outside Completion Date:

Section 4.2           Change Orders. All requests for changes (“Change Orders”) in the Approved Plans (other than minor field changes involving no extra cost (provided that if SCA’s approval of such change is required under the School Unit Purchase Agreement, Borrower shall have obtained SCA’s written approval thereof and provided a copy thereof to Lender )) shall be in writing, signed by Borrower and the Architect, and delivered to Lender and to the Administrator promptly after execution. Borrower shall obtain the SCA’s approval or consent to all Change Orders that affect the School Unit or the School Program (as defined in the School Unit Purchase Agreement) (an “SCA Change Order”) in writing and a copy of such approval or consent shall be delivered to Lender as an attachment to the applicable Change Order request. Borrower agrees to not permit any work pursuant to any “material” Change Order without Lender’s prior written approval. A Change Order shall be deemed “material” if it (i) adversely affects the value or changes the use of the Improvements, (ii) alters the unit count below ninety (90) residential units or above ninety-three (93) residential units, (iii) is inconsistent with a luxury residential condominium development as set forth in the Business Plan, (iv) increases or decreases the cost of the Construction Work by more than $500,000.00, (v) when added to other Change Orders not requiring the approval of Lender (other than Change Orders that Lender approved in writing), it increases or decreases the cost of the Construction Work by more than $2,500,000.00 (except that Change Orders necessary to satisfy Legal Requirements of Governmental Authorities shall be permitted to be in excess of the foregoing limit subject to an aggregate cap of $3,000,000.00), (vi) will cause Borrower to be unable to achieve Completion of the Construction Work on or before the Completion Date, (vii) requires any consent or approval of the SCA under the School Unit Purchase Agreement that was not obtained, (viii) causes an increase in the hard costs of the School Fit-Out Work (as defined in the School Unit Purchase Agreement) for which Borrower is responsible under the School Unit Purchase Agreement, or (ix) constitutes an SCA Change Order. If the cost of the Construction Work is increased by any Change Order and there are insufficient Funds (after any permitted re-allocations of Available Cost Savings and excluding the Contingency Line Item in the Approved Budget) to pay the increased cost, Borrower shall make an Equity Deposit in the amount of the increased cost with Lender in cash before permitting any work pursuant to the Change Order. The cash deposited with Lender shall be added to the Loan Reserve.

 

 

Section 4.3          Progress Reports. Borrower shall deliver to Lender not less frequently than monthly during construction, a report of the progress of construction of the Improvements, the cost of the Improvements compared to the Line Items in the Approved Budget, the Change Order and pending Change Order logs, the promotion and merchandising efforts for marketing the Subdivided Residential Units of the Project, current leasing reports (if applicable) with respect to the Retail Unit, and such other data and information concerning the Project as may be reasonably requested by Lender. Such reports shall be provided on a monthly basis or more frequently if required by Lender.

 

Section 4.4           Access to Borrower’s Books and Records. Lender and its representatives shall have reasonable access to the books, records, contracts, sub contracts, invoices, bills and statements of Borrower, including any supporting or related vouchers or other instruments. If Lender so requires, copies of such items shall be delivered to Lender or its representatives for audit, examination, inspection, and photocopying.

 

Section 4.5          Inspections. Lender, Administrator, Inspector and their respective representatives shall at reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice and, at Borrower’s option, accompanied by a representative of Borrower, have the right of entry and access to the Project, and the right to inspect all work done, labor performed and materials furnished on or about the Project; provided that such entry and access to any Condominium Unit that has been conveyed shall be subject to the terms of the Condominium Documents. The Inspector will make periodic inspections of the Construction Work and the Improvements during construction to review and comment on the construction progress and percentage of completion, the conformity with the Approved Plans and Legal Requirements, the activity and coordination among trades, the quality of workmanship, and the accuracy of Borrower’s estimates of the percentage of work completed. The Inspector will review monthly Borrower Draw Requests and perform such other duties as Lender deems necessary or desirable. Borrower shall pay the reasonable fees of the Inspector in connection with Borrower’s request for a Disbursement to Borrower. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that all inspections by Lender or its representatives, including but not limited to Inspector, are solely for the purpose of protecting the security of Lender. No such inspection shall constitute a representation by Lender to any person that the Improvements comply with the Approved Plans and the Legal Requirements, or that the construction is free from faulty materials or workmanship, nor shall any inspection by Lender or its representatives, including but not limited to Inspector, constitute approval of any certification or representation given to Lender or relieve any person making such certification or representation from the responsibility therefor. Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to interfere with (and shall cause its representatives and agents not to interfere with) the Construction Work.

 

 

Section 4.6           Corrective Work. If any portion of the Construction Work does not materially conform with the requirements of this Agreement, Lender shall have the right to require corrective work by delivery of written demand to Borrower. If Lender reasonably determines that the corrective work is likely to delay completion of the Construction Work beyond the Completion Date, no further construction except corrective work shall be performed without the prior written consent of Lender, and the corrective work shall be completed to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction within fifteen (15) days from the date of the written demand or, if the corrective work is not reasonably capable of being completed within fifteen (15) days, within such additional time as is reasonably necessary, but not exceeding sixty (60) days, unless Borrower demonstrates to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction that any time in excess of sixty (60) days to complete the corrective work will not cause Borrower to fail to satisfy a Milestone Construction Hurdle by the applicable Milestone Deadline.

 

Section 4.7           Liens. Borrower shall keep the Project free from all Liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances), whether or not superior to the Mortgage, other than as expressly set forth in this Section 4.7. If any Lien that is not a Permitted Encumbrance is filed or placed against the Project, Borrower shall obtain a release or discharge of the Lien in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, within thirty (30) days following the earlier of the date on which Borrower first receives notice of such lien or the date of written notice by Lender to Borrower of the existence of the Lien. At any time within such thirty (30) day period, Lender may refuse to make any disbursements of Funds until the Lien is so released or discharged in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements. If Borrower does not cause the release or discharge of such Lien within said thirty (30) days, Lender may elect to disburse Funds to pay such Lien. Lender’s rights under this Section shall not be affected by any claim of Borrower that the Lien is invalid, it being understood that the decision of Lender to pay or withhold is to be made by Lender in its sole discretion, subject only to Borrower’s right to obtain the release and satisfaction of, or discharge of, such Lien as provided above.

 

Section 4.8           Disputes Endangering Completion. If an Event of Default exists and any dispute arises under a contract or subcontract for which there is either no expedited arbitration or such arbitration proceeding has not concluded in the time frames set forth in such contract or subcontract, Lender may: (i) disburse Funds for the account of Borrower without prejudice to Borrower’s rights, if any, to recover from the party to whom paid, and (ii) without limitation, indemnify a title insurer against possible assertion of Liens, or agree to pay any disputed amounts to contractors or subcontractors if Borrower is unable or unwilling to pay the same. All sums paid or agreed to be paid under this Section 4.8 shall be for the account of Borrower and constitute an Advance, and Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender for all such Advances, together with interest at the Default Rate until the date of reimbursement. Such Advances, whether or not in excess of the Funds, shall be secured by the Mortgage.

 

 

Section 4.9           Restriction. Without Lender’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Borrower shall not purchase or install any materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other part of the Improvements under conditional sales agreements or other arrangements wherein the right is reserved to remove or repossess any such items.

 

Section 4.10         Punch List Items. Borrower shall complete all Punch List Items no later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the date on which Completion of the Construction Work occurs (subject to reasonable extensions if Borrower is diligently pursuing the completion of such Punch List Items), or such earlier date as required under the School Unit Purchase Agreement.

 

Section 4.11        Completion. Borrower shall achieve Completion of the Construction Work on or before the Completion Date, or, if applicable due to a Force Majeure event, the Outside Completion Date.

Borrower shall obtain and thereafter maintain in full force and effect Subcontractor Default Insurance for all subcontractors with limits of no less than $50,000,000 per claim and $100,000,000 in the aggregate and include a “Financial Interest Endorsement” naming Lender as insured party. The Project will be enrolled as of the commencement of the Construction Work. In addition, Borrower must provide Lender with semi-annual reporting on Subcontractor Default Insurance exposure, claims and losses thereunder (or more often as may be requested by Lender, provided such request shall not exceed more than once each quarter). Enrolled subcontractors must be covered under the Subcontractor Default Insurance policy at all times; provided, however, that if a subcontractor (which is not a Major Subcontractor) is not eligible for coverage under the Subcontractor Default Insurance, Lender will require a Payment and Performance Bond acceptable to Lender.

 

(e)          Evidence of Insurance by Acceptable Insurers. At all times during the term of the Loan, Borrower shall or shall cause the Condominium Association to provide to Lender the following evidences of insurance to Lender: (i) an ACORD 28 (current version) Evidence of Property Insurance provided by an authorized insurance agent, broker or insurance company or, where ACORD 28 (current version) is not available, other evidence of insurance confirming the same rights as are provided by ACORD 28 (current version) and all applicable policy endorsements; and (ii) an ACORD 25 (current version) Certificate of Liability Insurance, provided by an authorized insurance agent, broker or insurance company confirming coverages are maintained for liability insurance as required to be carried by Borrower. Any ACORD or equivalent evidencing a Blanket insurance policy shall specifically identify the replacement cost of the improvements and the annual gross rents. The foregoing evidence shall be provided to Lender at least five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration date of each such policy. Each evidence of insurance and certificate must include a mortgagee clause and a loss payee clause satisfactory to Lender, and any Certificate of Liability Insurance must name Lender as an Additional Insured for Commercial General Liability with respect to the Premises. Each insurance company providing coverage must have an A. M. Best rating of A-X or better.

 

 

(f)           Blanket Insurance Policies. Borrower’s insurance requirements under this Article 5 may be satisfied by maintaining either individual policies covering only the Premises, or blanket insurance policies covering multiple properties, provided that with respect to any blanket insurance policies Borrower also covenants to either immediately reinstate any limits and coverages which are used, reduced or cancelled back up to the blanket policy limits approved by Lender (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), or to secure individual policy coverages for the Premises satisfying these insurance requirements. Borrower will deliver to Lender a Schedule of Locations Insured under any blanket insurance policy together with the related certificates of insurance.

 

(g)          Miscellaneous Insurance Requirements. All insurance policies and endorsements required pursuant to this Agreement must be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and shall: (i) be endorsed to name Lender as an additional insured thereunder, as its interest may appear, with, in the case of property insurance, loss payable to Lender, without contribution, under a long-form, non-contributory mortgagee clause, or otherwise endorsed as Lender may reasonably require; (ii) be fully paid for and contain such provisions and expiration dates and be in such form and issued by such insurance companies licensed to do business in the State; and (iii) without limiting the foregoing, provide that such policy or endorsement may not be canceled or materially changed except upon at least thirty (30) days’ (or, in the case of cancellation for nonpayment of the applicable premium, ten (10) days’) prior written notice of intention of non-renewal, cancellation or material change to Lender, and that no act or thing done by Borrower or Lender shall invalidate the policy as against Lender. Within ten (10) Business Days following a request by Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender all original policies including all endorsements and renewals thereof, or copies thereof certified by the insurance company or authorized agent, together with all endorsements required hereunder and any other insurance policy information and other related information (such as “Probable Maximum Loss” or “Scenario Upper Loss” studies) as Lender may reasonably request from time to time. Borrower may request an extension of time not exceeding sixty (60) days to deliver the foregoing policies, endorsements and renewals or certified copies thereof if (1) Borrower has done all things reasonably necessary to obtain the issuance of the policies, endorsements and renewals including the payment of all premiums therefor, and (2) Borrower has delivered to Lender within the above ten (10) day period an insurance binder and evidence of insurance reasonably satisfactory to Lender issued by the insurer showing all required coverage to be in full force and effect for the succeeding twelve (12) month period along with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of payment in full of all premiums. If Borrower fails to maintain insurance in compliance with this Agreement, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such insurance and make Advances to pay the premium therefore. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any provision of law, the Proceeds of insurance policies coming into the possession of Lender shall not be deemed trust funds and Lender shall be entitled to dispose of such Proceeds as hereinafter provided.

 

 

Section 5.2           Damage, Destruction and Restoration.

 

(a)          In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Premises and/or Equipment, Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender and subject to the terms of (i) the Triparty Agreement during the Lease Period and (ii) subsequent to the recordation of the Declaration, the Condominium Documents, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently continue to completion the repair, restoration and rebuilding of the Premises and/or Equipment so damaged or destroyed in full compliance with all Legal Requirements and with the provisions of Sections 5.2(e), (f) and (h). Such repair, restoration and rebuilding of the Premises are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Work”. Except as expressly permitted under Section 5.2(h), Borrower shall not adjust, compromise or settle any claim for insurance Proceeds without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as no Event of Default exists. Except as set forth in Section 5.2(h), Borrower shall include Lender in all material meetings, conferences, telephone conferences and correspondence with the applicable insurer(s) following any casualty until all of the applicable insurance proceeds are disbursed by such insurer. Subject to Sections 5.2(d) and 5.2(h) of this Agreement and (i) the Triparty Agreement during the Lease Period and (ii) subsequent to the recordation of the Declaration, the Condominium Documents, Lender shall have the option in its sole discretion to apply any insurance Proceeds it may receive pursuant to this Agreement (less any reasonable out-of-pocket costs to Lender of recovering and paying out such Proceeds, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) to the payment of the Indebtedness or to allow all or a portion of such Proceeds to be used for the Work. If any insurance Proceeds are applied to reduce the Indebtedness, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall apply the same, without any Minimum Multiple Fee, Exit Fee or Closed Period Prepayment Fee, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7(c) of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender, at its option, may apply any insurance Proceeds to the Indebtedness in such order and priority as Lender deems appropriate in its sole discretion and a Minimum Multiple Fee, Exit Fee or Closed Period Prepayment Fee, as applicable, or Breakage Fee shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms of Section 2.5 in connection with any such prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.6(c) of the Interparty Agreement, in no event shall Borrower be entitled to any portion of the Net Proceeds (as defined in the Triparty Agreement) prior to the payment in full of all amounts that would otherwise be due and payable to Lender under this Section 5.2 but for Section 5.6(c) of Triparty Agreement.

 

(b)          In the event of the foreclosure of the Mortgage or other transfer of title to or assignment of the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment of the Indebtedness in whole or in part, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all policies of insurance required by this Agreement and any insurance Proceeds shall inure to the benefit of and pass to Lender or any purchaser or transferee at the foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property to the extent allowed by such policies.

 

(c)          Lender may notify any and all insurers under casualty and liability insurance policies that Lender has a security interest pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement in and to such insurance policies and any proceeds thereof, and, subject to Section 5.2(h), that any payments under those insurance policies are to be made directly to Lender. Lender’s rights under this Section 5.2 may be exercised by Lender or a court appointed receiver appointed upon the request of Lender if an Event of Default shall have occurred under this Agreement.

 

 

(d)          Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.2(a), but subject to Section 5.2(h), the Triparty Agreement during the Lease Period and subsequent to the recordation of the Declaration, the Condominium Documents, if in Lender’s reasonable judgment the cost of the Work shall not exceed the greater of $50,000,000 and fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan, then Lender shall, upon request by Borrower, permit Borrower to use the Proceeds for the Work (subject to the provisions of, and less Lender’s costs described in, Section 5.2(e)), so long as:

 

(i)

no Event of Default shall then exist;

 

(ii)

if Completion of the Construction Work was achieved prior to the fire or casualty in question, the Work can be completed, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, by the date which is three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date;

 

(iii)

if Completion of the Construction Work was not achieved prior to the fire, casualty or condemnation in question, the Construction Work (substantially in accordance with the Approved Plans) and the Work can be completed, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, by the Outside Completion Date with each Milestone Construction Hurdle met by the applicable Outside Milestone Date;

 

(iv)

all sums necessary to effect the Work over and above any available Proceeds or Proceeds that are committed to be made available by the insurer, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion (the “Deficiency Amount”) shall be at the sole cost and expense of Borrower and Borrower shall deposit the Deficiency Amount, as estimated by Lender in its reasonable discretion, with Lender prior to commencing any Work and at all applicable times thereafter;

 

(v)

(vi)

at all times during any such Work, business income and extra expense including rental value insurance, if applicable, shall be in full force and effect and available to cover any loss of business income and rents resulting from the damage to or destruction of the Premises and/or Equipment (or Borrower deposits any deficiency with Lender); and

 

(vii)

if Completion of the Construction Work was achieved prior to the casualty in question, the Improvements shall be restored to the same size, character and condition that existed prior to the damage or destruction except for immaterial changes as determined by Lender in its reasonable judgment.

 

 

(e)          In addition to satisfying all applicable conditions to Disbursements to Borrower if the fire, casualty or condemnation in question occurred prior to Borrower achieving Completion of the Construction Work, if any insurance Proceeds are used for the Work, then, unless Section 5.2(h) applies, such Proceeds together with any Deficiency Amount shall be held by Lender and shall be paid out from time to time to Borrower as the Work progresses (less any reasonable out-of-pocket costs to Lender of recovering and paying out such Proceeds and/or Deficiency Amount, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses and costs allocable to inspecting the Work and the plans and specifications therefor), subject to each of the following conditions:

 

(i)

the Work shall be conducted under the supervision of a certified and registered architect or engineer reasonably satisfactory to Lender (Lender hereby approves the Architect and Engineer engaged by Borrower on the date hereof).

(ii)

each request for payment shall be made on not less than seven (7) Business Days prior written notice to Lender and shall be accompanied by a certificate of the architect or engineer in (i) above and/or contractor stating: (A) that all of the Work completed has been done in compliance with, in all material respects, the approved plans and specifications, if required under (i) above; (B) that the sum requested is justly required to reimburse Borrower for payments by Borrower, or is justly due to the contractor, subcontractors, materialmen, laborers, engineers, architects or other Persons rendering services or materials for the Work (giving a brief description of such services and materials), and that when added to all sums previously paid out by Lender does not exceed the value of the Work done to the date of such certificate; (C) if the sum requested is to cover payment relating to repair and restoration of Equipment required or relating to the Premises, that title to the items of Equipment covered by the request for payment is vested in Borrower; and (D) that the amount of such Proceeds together with any Deficiency Amount remaining in the hands of Lender are anticipated to be sufficient on completion of the Work to pay for the same in full (giving in such reasonable detail as Lender may require an estimate of the cost of such completion). Additionally, each request for payment shall contain a statement signed by Borrower approving both the Work done to date and the Work covered by the request for payment in question;

 

 

(iii)

each request for payment shall be accompanied by waivers of lien or conditional waivers of lien reasonably satisfactory to Lender covering that part of the Work for which payment or reimbursement is being requested and, if required by Lender, a search prepared by a title insurance company or licensed abstractor, or by other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that there has not been filed with respect to the Premises any mechanics’ or other lien relating to any part of the Work not discharged of record. Additionally, as to any Equipment covered by the request for payment, Lender shall be provided with evidence of payment therefor and such further evidence satisfactory to assure Lender of its valid first lien on the Equipment;

 

(iv)

Lender shall have the right to inspect the Work at all reasonable times and may condition any disbursement of Proceeds upon the satisfactory completion, as determined by Lender’s reasonable discretion, of any portion of the Work for which payment or reimbursement is being requested.

(v)

Proceeds shall not be disbursed more frequently than every thirty (30) days; and

 

(vi)

any request for payment made after the Work has been completed shall be accompanied by a copy or copies of any certificate or certificates required by law to render occupancy and full operation of the Premises legal.

 

(f)           Upon any failure on the part of Borrower to promptly commence the Work following the receipt by Borrower or Lender, as applicable, of the Proceeds or to proceed diligently and continuously (subject to Force Majeure) to completion of the Work in accordance with this Section 5.2 or upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, at Lender’s option, Lender shall be entitled to apply at any time all or any portion of the Proceeds it then or thereafter holds to the repayment of the Indebtedness or to the curing of any Event of Default.

 

(g)          Subject to Section 2.5(d), upon completion of the Work and payment in full therefor any unexpended Proceeds, at Lender’s option, shall either be paid over to Borrower or shall be applied to the reduction of the Indebtedness without any Minimum Multiple Fee, Exit Fee or Closed Period Prepayment Fee, as applicable that would otherwise be applicable to a prepayment of the Loan at that time.

 

 

(h)          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.2, but subject to: (i) the terms of the Triparty Agreement during the Lease Period, or (ii) the Condominium Documents subsequent to the recordation of the Declaration, if no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default shall exist and be continuing and in Lender’s reasonable judgment the cost of the Work is less than the lesser of: (x) $3,790,000, and (y) ten percent (10%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan (but not less than $1,000,000), and the Work can be completed in less than one hundred eighty (180) days (or such longer time as may be necessary in Lender’s reasonable opinion to complete the Work as long as Borrower is diligently pursuing completion of the Work, and, if Completion did not occur prior to the casualty in question, Lender reasonably determines that Borrower’s efforts will result in completion of the Work without Borrower failing to meet each Milestone Construction Hurdle prior to the applicable Outside Milestone Date), then Lender shall, upon request by Borrower, permit Borrower to apply for, compromise, settle, adjust and receive the insurance Proceeds directly from the insurer (and Lender shall advise the insurer to pay over such Proceeds directly to Borrower), provided that Borrower shall apply such insurance Proceeds solely to the prompt and diligent commencement and completion of such Work.

Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to collect and receive such Proceeds, to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor and, in Lender’s sole discretion, subject to the terms of the Triparty Agreement during the Lease Period and subsequent to the recordation of the Declaration, the Condominium Documents, to apply such Proceeds (less any reasonable out-of-pocket costs to Lender of recovering and paying out such Proceeds, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses allocable to inspecting any repair, restoration or rebuilding work and the plans and specifications therefor) toward the payment of the Indebtedness or to the repair, restoration or rebuilding of the Premises in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3, if Borrower satisfies all of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2(d) upon the taking of a portion of the Premises, Lender shall permit Borrower to use the Proceeds of the condemnation for the Work, and said Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2(e). If the Proceeds are used to reduce the Indebtedness, they shall be applied in the order provided in Section 2.7(c), without any Minimum Multiple Fee, Exit Fee or Closed Period Prepayment Fee, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.6(c) of the Interparty Agreement, in no event shall Borrower be entitled to any portion of the Net Proceeds (as defined in the Triparty Agreement) prior to the payment in full of all amounts that would otherwise be due and payable to Lender under this Section 5.3 but for Section 5.6(c) of Triparty Agreement.

Lender hereby approves the Master Lease and the Sublease.

 

(b)          With respect to each Lease so approved in writing by Lender, Borrower shall perform all obligations as lessor or lessee, as applicable, and, to the extent it is commercially reasonable to do so, shall enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained therein on the part of the lessor or lessee thereunder to be performed or observed, short of termination thereof. Borrower shall not take any action which would cause any Lease to cease to be in full force and effect, except with the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, until repayment of the entire Indebtedness. Without Lender’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except for the Master Lease or Sublease), Borrower shall not: (i) cancel, terminate or surrender any Lease, or consent to any cancellation, termination or surrender thereof (except for a termination of the Master Lease and Sublease upon the conveyance of the School Unit to the SCA); (ii) sublease or assign any Lease, or consent to the sublease or assignment thereof; (iii) subordinate any Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest that is subordinate to the Mortgage; (iv) amend, modify or renew any existing Lease; (v) waive any material default under or breach of any Lease; (vi) consent to or accept any prepayment or discount of rent or advance rent under any Lease (other than with respect to the Master Lease); (vii) take any other action in connection with any Lease which may impair or jeopardize the validity of such Lease or Lender’s interest therein; or (viii) alter, modify or change the terms of any guaranty, letter of credit or other credit support with respect to any Lease or cancel or terminate such guaranty, letter of credit or other credit support.

 

 

(c)          As long as no Event of Default exists, the following parameters for a Lease of the Retail Unit or any portion thereof are hereby pre-approved by Lender: the potential new Lease for the Retail Unit or portion thereof (i) provides for a Net Effective Rent of not less than $65.00; and (ii) has an initial term not longer than twenty (20) years, and any renewal options exercisable by the tenant thereunder for an aggregate term longer than twenty (20) years shall be at no less than ninety percent (90%) of then current fair market rent. Lender shall have the right to review and approve a new Lease for the Retail Unit in all other respects, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and such Lease must at a minimum satisfy the following conditions: (i) be an arm’s-length transaction with a bona-fide, independent third party tenant, (ii) not violate any provision of any other lease, restriction, covenant or public or private agreement affecting the Borrower, the Mortgaged Property, or the Declaration; (iii) provide that tenant will unconditionally attorn to a foreclosing lender without requiring Lender to execute a non-disturbance agreement (or else Lender, Borrower and tenant mutually agree to execute an SNDA (as defined below) (Lender hereby agreeing to execute and deliver an SNDA promptly upon request therefore by Borrower); (iv) impose no tenant improvement obligations on the landlord beyond the initial lease-up and occupancy by the tenant; and (v) contain no tenant right to acquire any ownership interest in any of the Mortgaged Property.

FAILURE OF LENDER TO RESPOND TO BORROWER’S REQUEST FOR SUCH APPROVAL WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS SECOND NOTICE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE LENDER’S APPROVAL OF SUCH NEW LEASE”. If Lender fails to approve or disapprove (which such disapproval shall include reasons) such Lease within such additional 5 Business Day period, such Lease shall be deemed approved by Lender.

 

(d)          For each Lease, upon Lender’s written request, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Lender with: (i) a tenant estoppel certificate (which request shall not be made more than once each calendar year absent an Event of Default); and (ii) unless previously provided and still in effect with respect to the same lease, a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, in either case executed by each tenant, utilizing either Lender pre-approved forms or such other forms as Lender shall reasonably approve (an “SNDA”).

Borrower shall not enter into any further agreements, contracts, documents or side letters with the SCA which affect Lender’s rights and obligations under the Triparty Agreement without Lender’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.

Borrower shall comply at all times with and timely perform its obligations and enforce its rights and the SCA’s obligations under the Master Lease, the Sublease and the School Unit Purchase Agreement;

 

(vi)

No action or payment taken or made by Lender to cure any default by Borrower under the Master Lease, the Sublease or the School Unit Purchase Agreement shall remove or waive, as between Borrower and Lender, any default or Event of Default which occurred hereunder by virtue of the default by Borrower under the Master Lease, the Sublease or the School Unit Purchase Agreement.

(ix)

Borrower shall confer with Lender and its attorneys and experts, and reasonably cooperate with them to the extent which Lender deems reasonably necessary for the protection of Lender’s interest in the Master Lease, the Sublease, the School Unit Purchase Agreement, the Triparty Agreement, and the Mortgaged Property.

The power of attorney granted hereunder is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lender and hold Lender free and harmless from and against all Losses incurred by Lender in connection with the exercise of the rights granted under this Section 7.2(a)(xi), excluding those arising from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

(xii)

Lender shall have absolutely no liability to Borrower for, or in connection with, any such demand or requirement that Borrower perform under the School Unit Purchase Agreement, the Master Lease, the Sublease or the Triparty Agreement, excluding liability resulting from Lender’s or any other Lender Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and such liability shall only be to the extent of Lender’s or any other Lender Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 7.5          Sales and Marketing Agreement/Management Agreement. Borrower shall not enter into any management agreement, leasing commission agreement, brokerage agreement or other similar agreement without Lender’s prior written approval in each case, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Prior to the completion of the first Subdivided Residential Unit, Borrower shall enter into (i) a sales and marketing agreement, which sales and marketing agreement must be reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and (ii) a management agreement with a third-party manager, which management agreement must be reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Lender approves the Sales Agreement and the Sales Agent. Any management agreement, leasing commission agreement, brokerage agreement or other similar agreement shall be collaterally assigned to Lender and shall be subordinate to the Mortgage and in substantially the forms, as applicable, attached hereto as Exhibits P and Q. If at any time during the existence of an Event of Default the management company, management agreement or leasing commissions agreement is not satisfactory to Lender, Borrower shall have up to sixty (60) days after written notice to Borrower of Lender’s disapproval, to obtain a management company, management agreement and/or leasing commissions agreement approved by and satisfactory to Lender.

 

Section 7.6           Impositions.

 

(a)          Borrower shall pay and discharge all Impositions prior to delinquency and shall provide to Lender validated receipts or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender showing the payment of such Impositions within ten (10) Business Days after the same would otherwise have become delinquent. Borrower’s obligation to pay Impositions pursuant to this Agreement shall include, to the extent permitted by applicable law, taxes resulting from future changes in law which impose upon Lender an obligation to pay any property taxes or other Impositions. Should Borrower default in the payment of any Impositions, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make an Advance to pay such Impositions or any portion thereof.

 

 

(b)          Borrower shall not be required to pay, discharge or remove any Imposition so long as Borrower contests in good faith such Imposition or the validity, applicability or amount thereof by an appropriate legal proceeding which operates to prevent the collection of such amounts and the sale of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof; provided, however, that such contest will not result in a tax certificate or other sale of the tax lien and prior to the date on which such Imposition would otherwise have become delinquent Borrower shall have: (i) given Lender prior written notice of such contest; and (ii) deposited with Lender, and shall deposit such additional amounts as are necessary to keep on deposit at all times, an amount equal to at least one hundred five percent (105%) of the total of: (A) the balance of such Imposition then remaining unpaid; plus (B) all interest, penalties, costs and charges accrued or accumulated thereon. Any such contest shall be prosecuted with due diligence, and Borrower shall promptly pay the amount of such Imposition as finally determined, together with all interest, penalties, costs and charges payable in connection therewith. Lender shall have full power and authority to apply any amount deposited with Lender under this Section 7.3(b) to the payment of any unpaid Imposition to prevent the sale of any tax lien or the sale or forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) for non-payment thereof. Lender shall have no liability, however, for failure to so apply any amount deposited unless Borrower requests the application of such amount to the payment of the particular Imposition for which such amount was deposited. Any surplus retained by Lender after payment of the Imposition for which a deposit was made shall be repaid to Borrower unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case said surplus may be retained by Lender to be applied to the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 7.3(b) to the contrary, Borrower shall pay any Imposition which it might otherwise be entitled to contest if, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, failure to pay will result in a tax certificate or other sale of the tax lien or the Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) is in jeopardy or in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed; or Lender may make an Advance to pay the same. Additionally, in such event, if Lender is prevented by law or judicial or administrative order from paying such Imposition and Borrower fails to pay the same, then Lender, at its option, may declare the entire Indebtedness immediately due and payable.

 

(c)          To the extent cash flow from the Mortgaged Property is insufficient to pay same, real estate taxes, assessments, municipal charges and insurance premiums shall be funded as a Disbursement to Borrower subject to the terms and conditions of disbursement in this Agreement. To the extent Borrower fails to satisfy the conditions of disbursement in this Agreement, Borrower shall pay the real estate taxes, assessments, municipal charges and insurance premiums that would otherwise be funded as a Disbursement to Borrower; provided that if an Event of Default exists, Borrower shall deposit with Lender, monthly, on each Payment Date, 1/12th of the annual charges (as reasonably estimated by Lender) for Impositions and insurance premiums, and, if required by Lender, 1/12th of the annual charges for rent (if Borrower is lessee of an interest in any of the Mortgaged Property) with respect to the Mortgaged Property. If required by Lender, Borrower shall also deposit with Lender, simultaneously with such monthly deposits and/or the execution of this Agreement, a sum of money which together with such monthly deposits will be sufficient to make the payment of each such charge at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date initially due. Should such charges not be ascertainable at the time any deposit is required to be made, the deposit shall be made on the basis of the charges for the prior year or payment period, as reasonably estimated by Lender. When the charges are fixed for the then current year or period, Borrower shall deposit any deficiency on demand. All funds deposited with Lender shall be held without interest (unless the payment of interest thereon is required under applicable law), may be commingled with Lender’s other funds, and shall be applied in payment of the foregoing charges when and as payable provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Should an Event of Default occur and be continuing, the funds so deposited may be applied in payment of the charges for which such funds shall have been deposited or to the payment of the Indebtedness or any other charges affecting the Mortgaged Property, as Lender in its sole discretion may determine, but no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided. Borrower shall provide Lender with bills and all other documents necessary for the payment of the foregoing charges within ten (10) Business Days following Borrower’s receipt of the same, but in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which each payment thereof shall first become due.

 

 

Section 7.7          Operating Expenses. Borrower shall use any cash flow from the Mortgaged Property to pay all operating expenses of the Mortgaged Property and all payments due under the Loan Documents.

 

ARTICLE 8

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

 

Borrower, jointly and severally (if applicable), represents, warrants and covenants that:

 

Section 8.1           Organization and Authority.

 

(a)          The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized and there is no provision in Borrower’s organizational documents, as amended, requiring further consent for such action by any other Person.

 

(b)          Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation.

 

(c)          Borrower has all necessary franchises, licenses, authorizations, registrations, Permits and approvals and full power and authority to develop and construct the Property, own and operate the Mortgaged Property, and carry on its business.

 

(d)          The execution and delivery of and performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents: (i) will not result in Borrower being in default under any provision of its organizational documents, as amended, any court order, or any mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement to which it is a party; and (ii) do not require the consent of or any filing with any governmental authority.

 

 

(e)          All necessary and required actions have been duly taken by and on behalf of Borrower to make and constitute the Loan Documents, and the Loan Documents constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to the application of bankruptcy and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

 

(f)           Borrower is, and at all times until repayment in full of the Indebtedness shall be, a “single asset real estate entity”, as defined in Section 101 (51B) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code.

 

Section 8.2           Maintenance of Existence. So long as it owns the Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall do all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, franchises, licenses, authorizations, registrations, permits and approvals under the laws of the state of its formation and the State where the Premises is located and shall comply in all material respects with all regulations, rules, ordinances, statutes, orders and decrees of any governmental authority or court now or hereafter applicable to Borrower or to the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof.

 

Section 8.3          Title. Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the Premises and good indefeasible title to the balance of the Mortgaged Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever, except the Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower represents and warrants that it has accepted possession of the Premises (as defined in the Sublease) and has a valid and enforceable leasehold interest in the leasehold estate created pursuant to the Sublease. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, the Mortgage creates (1) a valid, perfected Lien on the Mortgaged Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and (2) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all Collateral (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms hereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances and such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents. Borrower will preserve such title and will forever warrant and defend the same and validity and priority of the lien hereof to Lender against all claims whatsoever.

 

Borrower is the owner of or has right to all easements and other appurtenant rights (collectively, the “Easements”) created under the agreements listed and described on Exhibit M hereof (collectively the “Easement Agreements”). Borrower has delivered to Lender true, correct and complete copies of all Operating Agreements and Easement Agreements, if applicable. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, (A) no Operating Agreement, Easement Agreement or Easement created thereunder has been modified, amended or supplemented and they are all in full force and effect; and (B) no defaults have occurred under any Operating Agreement or Easement Agreement, and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no event has occurred which with notice or the passage of time would constitute an event of default under any Operating Agreement or Easement Agreement. With respect to each Operating Agreement, Easement Agreement and Permitted Encumbrance Borrower shall, to the extent commercially reasonable to do so: (i) observe, perform and discharge all material obligations, covenants and warranties required to be kept and performed by Borrower, and (ii) enforce or secure the performance of each and every material obligation, term, covenant, condition and agreement to be performed by any other party. Borrower shall also (a) promptly deliver to Lender copies of all material written notices, demands or requests sent or otherwise made by Borrower or any other Person, and (b) timely pay any charges assessed against the Premises as and when finally due pursuant to the Operating Agreements or Easement Agreements or Permitted Encumbrances. Without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, Borrower will not consent to or enter into any agreement or writing that modifies, amends, supplements, restates, terminates or reduces any: (V) Operating Agreement, (W) Easement Agreement, or (X) any appurtenant rights or interests, including any reversionary interests which Borrower possesses or may acquire.

 

 

Section 8.4           Mortgage Taxes. Borrower shall pay any and all taxes, charges, filing, registration and recording fees, excises and levies imposed upon Lender by reason of its ownership of, or measured by amounts payable under, the Loan Documents (other than income, franchise and doing business taxes), and shall pay all stamp taxes and other taxes required to be paid on the Loan Documents. If Borrower fails to make such payment within five (5) Business Days after notice thereof from Lender, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) pay the amount due, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such Advances. If applicable law prohibits Borrower from paying (or reimbursing Lender for) such taxes, charges, filing, registration and recording fees, excises, levies, stamp taxes or other taxes, then if the amount in question exceeds $25,000, Lender may declare the Indebtedness then unpaid to be due and payable upon at least one hundred twenty (120) days’ written notice. In such event, no Minimum Multiple Fee, Exit Fee or Closed Period Prepayment Fee, as applicable, shall be payable by Borrower so long as no Event of Default exists.

 

Section 8.5           Payment of Liens. Borrower shall discharge and pay when due all payments and charges due under or in connection with any Liens in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.7, or if not so discharged, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make Advances to do so. Borrower shall do or cause to be done, at the sole cost of Borrower, everything reasonably necessary to fully preserve the priority of the Lien of the Mortgage. If Borrower fails to make any such payment or if a Lien attaches to the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof and is not discharged within the thirty (30) day period referenced in Section 4.7, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or discharge such lien and Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such Advances.

Section 8.10         ERISA.

 

(a)          Borrower shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the IRS Code, provided, that Borrower may assume for purposes of this Section 8.10(a) that the Loan proceeds are not “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 (as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, the “Plan Assets Regulation”).

(xvii)

fail to maintain adequate capital for the normal obligations reasonably foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated business operations, provided that there is sufficient cash flow from the Property at such time to do so and Borrower’s constituent owners shall not be required to fund or advance any additional capital to satisfy this obligation;

 

 

(xviii)

(xix)

(xx)

(b)          If Borrower is a limited partnership, then any general partner of Borrower must also be a special purpose entity and comply with the provisions of this Section 8.12.

 

(c)          Borrower and any Person required to be a special purpose entity pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.12 shall not amend or modify any of their respective formation or entity management documents in any manner that would result in a breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Section 8.12 or that would otherwise adversely affect Borrower’s special purpose entity status without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Promptly after Lender’s written request from time to time, but not more frequently than once in any calendar year, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that Borrower and any other Person required to be a special purpose entity pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.12 are in compliance with the provisions of this Section 8.12.

 

Section 8.13         Notices/Proceedings. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) receipt of any written notice from any holder of any other lien or security interest in any of the Mortgaged Property; it being understood that no such lien or security interest is ever permitted to exist at any time under any circumstances until after repayment in full of the Indebtedness (except as otherwise specifically provided herein); or (ii) commencement of any judicial or administrative proceedings by, against or otherwise affecting Borrower, Indemnitor or any of the Mortgaged Property, or any other action by any creditor thereof as a result of any default under the terms of any loan.

 

 

Section 8.14      Business Purpose of Loan. Borrower stipulates and warrants that the purpose of the Loan is for the sole purpose of carrying on or acquiring a business, professional or commercial enterprise. Borrower further stipulates and warrants that all proceeds of the Loan will be used for said business, professional or commercial enterprise.

 

Section 8.15      Legal Requirements and Maintenance of Mortgaged Property. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, except as disclosed to Lender in writing, the Mortgaged Property is, in all material respects, in compliance with all Legal Requirements. Borrower shall comply with all Legal Requirements in all material respects, subject to Borrower’s right to contest the same in accordance with this Agreement. Borrower shall permit Lender and its agents to enter upon and inspect: (a) the areas of the Mortgaged Property which are open to the public at all reasonable hours without prior notice and (b) subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases and fee simple owners of portions of the Mortgaged Property conveyed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, all other areas of the Mortgaged Property during regular business hours upon at least 48 hours prior written notice, except that no notice shall be required in the event of an emergency. Except as expressly contemplated herein, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be granted or withheld in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion: (a) change the use of the Premises from that contemplated in the Business Plan; (b) cause or permit the use or occupancy of any part of the Premises to be discontinued if such discontinuance would violate any zoning or other law, ordinance or regulation; (c) apply for or consent to any subdivision (other than the contemplated subdivision of the Residential Unit), re-subdivision (other than the contemplated subdivision of the Residential Unit), zoning reclassification, modification or restriction affecting the Premises; (d) commit or knowingly permit any waste, structural or material addition to or material alteration, demolition or removal of the Mortgaged Property (except alterations required pursuant to an Acceptable Lease) or any portion thereof (provided that the Equipment included within the Collateral may be removed if obsolete or if replaced with similar items of equal or greater value); (e) take any action whatsoever to apply for, consent to, or acquiesce in the conversion of the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, to a condominium or cooperative form of ownership, or (f) take any action whatsoever to apply for, consent to or acquiesce in any subdivision (other than the contemplated subdivision of the Residential Unit) or re-subdivision (other than the contemplated subdivision of the Residential Unit) of the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof. No provision of this Section 8.15 shall prohibit Borrower from undertaking and completing tenant improvement work authorized under Leases previously approved by Lender or not requiring Lender’s prior approval and the Construction Work in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

 

Section 8.16      Solvency. (1) Neither Borrower nor Indemnitor has entered into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and (2) Borrower and Indemnitor have each received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is, as of the date hereof, and will, immediately following the making of the initial disbursement of the Loan on the date hereof, be greater than Borrower’s liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital for such entity 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 debt and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by it and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of such party). Other than the bankruptcy of Indemnitor’s predecessor, Syms Corp., filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in 2011 as In re Filene’s Basement, LLC, et al., Case No. 11-13511-KJC (Bankr. D. Del), no petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any Indemnitor or any Principal and neither Borrower nor any Indemnitor has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor Indemnitor has been involved in a foreclosure or in a default on any indebtedness owing to Lender or to any affiliate of Lender or, in the case of Borrower, on any other indebtedness obtained for commercial purposes. All financial and other information submitted by or on behalf of Borrower and Indemnitor to Lender in connection with the Loan is true, complete and correct in all material respects. All of Borrower's obligations to creditors, including, but not limited to, all payments and accounts relating to the Premises, are current.

 

Section 8.17      Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

 

(a)       In the event that LIBOR exceeds one and one-half percent (1.50%), Borrower shall enter into, and Borrower shall thereafter maintain in full force and effect, an “Interest Rate Cap Agreement” from an issuer that satisfies the Rate Cap Rating Criteria and is reasonably acceptable to Lender (“Issuer”). Such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be either:

 

(i)

at any time when an unpaid principal balance of the Loan is outstanding, in a notional amount equal to at least the lesser of (i) the Maximum Loan Amount and (ii) the sum of (x) the current outstanding principal balance of the Loan and (y) $10,000,000 (or, if less, the amount of the Loan that remains available as a Disbursement to Borrower under this Agreement) (the “Minimum Cap Amount”).

 

(ii)

An “amortizing” Interest Rate Cap Agreement where, as of the first day of the calendar month set forth in row 446 of Exhibit W attached hereto and made a part hereof, the notional amount is equal to or greater than the “Starting Balance” set forth in row 450 of Exhibit W, for such calendar month; provided, however, that if on or after the Projected Repayment Date, an unpaid principal balance remains outstanding on the Loan, Borrower shall maintain an Interest Rate Cap Agreement in a notional amount of no less than the Minimum Cap Amount.

 

 

The Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall provide that if LIBOR then in effect is at any time greater than two and one-half percent (2.5%) (the “Strike Price”), then the Issuer shall pay to Lender, on the dates when monthly payments of interest are required to be paid to Lender under Section 2.3, an amount equal to interest on said notional amount at the Excess Rate (as hereinafter defined). If at any time the current outstanding principal amount of the Loan is equal to or greater than the combined notional amounts of any Interest Rate Protection Agreement(s) in place at the time, Borrower shall enter into a supplemental Interest Rate Cap Agreement (a “Supplemental Interest Rate Cap Agreement” and together with any existing or future Interest Rate Cap Agreement, collectively, the “Interest Rate Cap Agreements”) in the notional amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Loan Amount less the current sum of the notional amounts of the Interest Rate Protection Agreements then in place and (ii) the sum of (x) the current outstanding principal balance of the Loan and (y) $10,000,000 (or, if less, the amount of the Loan that remains available to be advanced as a Disbursement to Borrower under this Agreement), less the current sum of the notional amounts of the Interest Rate Cap Agreements then in place. In no instance will any Funds be disbursed under the Loan that would result in the outstanding principal balance of the Loan exceeding the aggregate notional amount of any Interest Rate Cap Agreements in place in accordance with this Section 8.17(a) after such time as LIBOR has exceeded one and one-half percent (1.50%) unless Borrower has made arrangements reasonably acceptable to Lender for the notional amount of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement to be increased accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms of any Supplemental Interest Rate Cap Agreement including the Strike Price, maturity and counterparty quality will be substantially the same as the then currently existing Interest Rate Cap Agreements.

 

(b)       Not later than sixty (60) days prior to the scheduled expiration of any Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s cost and expense, replace the same with an Interest Rate Cap Agreement as required by the terms of this Section 8.17; provided, however, that Borrower shall be under no such obligation in the event that the scheduled expiration of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement coincides with either (i) the Maturity Date (as same may have been extended by Borrower), or (ii) the Projected Repayment Date, if in Lender’s reasonable judgment, Borrower is reasonably on track to repay the entire Indebtedness on such Projected Repayment Date. In the event that (1) an Interest Rate Cap Agreement is terminated for any reason or is otherwise unenforceable by Lender or (2) the issuer executing the Interest Rate Cap Agreement is not a financial institution satisfying the Rate Cap Rating Criteria, Borrower shall, within sixty (60) days following the occurrence of either such event, obtain from a financial institution that satisfies the Rate Cap Rating Criteria a replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion.

 

(c)       No Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be secured by a Lien on the Mortgaged Property or any other asset of the Borrower.

 

(d)       Each Interest Rate Cap Agreement and Supplemental Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be collaterally assigned to Lender pursuant to a Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement in substantially the form and substance attached hereto as Exhibit V (the “Assignment of Rate Cap Agreement”), which Assignment of Rate Cap Agreement shall be consented to by Issuer and delivered to Lender, with respect to any Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Supplemental Interest Rate Cap Agreement, promptly upon receipt by Borrower, and with respect to any replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, prior to the expiration of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement then being replaced.

 

 

(e)       As used herein, “Excess Rate” shall mean an amount equal to LIBOR then in effect under Section 2.2(a) minus the Strike Price. As used herein, “Rate Cap Rating Criteria” means with respect to any Person, the long term unsecured debt obligations of the applicable Person are rated at least “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and any successor thereto, or at least “A3” by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc., and any successor thereto. If, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Issuer no longer satisfies the Rate Cap Rating Criteria, Borrower shall, within sixty (60) days following written notice from Lender, obtain and deliver to Lender a replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement from an Issuer that satisfies the Rate Cap Rating Criteria and is reasonably acceptable to Lender, and Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a replacement Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion.

 

Section 8.18      Representations Regarding the Construction Work. Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to Lender as of the date of this Agreement, and as of the date of each Disbursement to Borrower, as updated to reflect such changes as may have resulted from acts, omissions, events or circumstances that do not constitute a Material Adverse Effect, Potential Event of Default or Event of Default hereunder.

 

(a)       As the date of recordation of the Mortgage, no construction has commenced on the Land and no materials have been delivered to the Land, or if construction has commenced or materials have been delivered, the legal effect of possible mechanics’, materialmen’s or other statutory liens has been negated by title insurance or surety bonds satisfactory to Lender.

 

(b)       Borrower has received all Permits and Approvals to commence construction of the Project and has received all Permits and Approvals for the Project necessary for the stage of construction then underway, except for those, if any, as Lender reasonably determines may be obtained at a later date during the course of construction, so long as such Permits and Approvals as are in effect shall be sufficient to allow the Project to proceed to completion in the ordinary course.

 

(c)       Borrower has delivered a complete set of Approved Plans which Lender has reviewed and approved, which Approved Plans shall not be amended without Lender’s prior written approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that Lender’s approval shall not be required for (i) any amendment that Borrower is required to make under the School Unit Purchase Agreement which are (1) initiated by the SCA, (2) the cost of which shall be solely borne by the SCA (with respect to which the SCA has evidenced its ability to pay the increased costs to the reasonable satisfaction of Borrower and Lender) or by Borrower with additional equity, and (3) such amendment solely affects the School Unit, and (ii) any amendment in connection with a Change Order permitted hereunder. The Approved Plans include and are consistent with the 100% School Base Building CD’s.

 

(d)       The Approved Budget, as amended with Lender’s written approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), sets out the total itemized costs, direct and indirect, for the Completion of the Construction Work and the payment and performance of Borrower’s other obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

 

(e)       To Borrower’s knowledge, the Initial Required Equity (plus additional equity unconditionally committed to Borrower or deposited or contributed pursuant hereto) and the Loan proceeds are sufficient to pay all the costs set out in the Budget.

 

Section 8.19      Limitations on Distributions. Until full repayment of the Indebtedness, no Upstream Entity shall receive any cash flow distributions from Borrower or from the Mortgaged Property. Further, until full repayment of the Indebtedness, neither Borrower nor any Upstream Owner shall receive any Residential Unit Net Sale Proceeds. In addition, except for the Development Fee (which may be paid in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement), neither Borrower nor any Affiliate of Borrower shall receive a fee for any acquisition, asset management, disposition, leasing or any other reason related to the Premises until the Indebtedness has been fully repaid.

 

Section 8.20      Condominium.

 

(a)       Concurrently with the formation of the Condominium, Borrower shall assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the TBTA Agreement to the Condominium Board of Managers. Upon the recording of the Declaration and Condominium Plans in the Register’s Office, Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that the Declaration (including the Bylaws) and the Condominium Plans shall be in full compliance with all Condominium Laws. Lender hereby approves the form of Declaration (including the Bylaws) attached hereto as Exhibit R, which Borrower represents and warrants is the same form attached as Exhibit T to the School Unit Purchase Agreement. On or before December 22, 2019, Borrower shall submit the Condominium Plans to Lender for Lender’s review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Lender shall complete its review of the Condominium Plans within thirty (30) days following its receipt of same, and shall either approve or disapprove the same within said thirty (30) day period. If Lender disapproves the Condominium Plans, Lender shall provide Borrower with a reasonably detailed explanation for Lender’s disapproval thereof, and Borrower shall then re-submit revised drafts of the same to Lender as soon as reasonably practicable. Borrower shall cause the Condominium Plans to address the reasonable concerns or reasons for Lender’s disapproval of the prior drafts of the same. Lender and Borrower shall repeat this process until the Condominium Plans are approved by Lender. Borrower shall be permitted to record the Declaration in the form of Exhibit R and the Condominium Plans approved by Lender in accordance with this Section 8.20(a) up to thirty (30) days prior to the date of the conveyance of the School Unit to SCA. Borrower shall not modify or amend the form of Declaration (including the Bylaws) and/or the approved form of Condominium Plans prior to recording the Declaration and Condominium Plans without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided (i) no Event of Default exists, (ii) such amendment or modification complies with all Condominium Laws, and (iii) the SCA has approved the amendment in writing to the extent it has approval rights thereto under the School Purchase Agreement. Borrower shall be permitted to record an amended and restated Declaration and amended Condominium Plans (reflecting the subdivision of the Residential Unit), with the City Register after Borrower’s receipt of Lender’s written consent and approval of the Offering Plan, including any amendments thereto, in accordance with the provisions of Article 16 hereof.

 

 

(b)       Following the recording of the Declaration and the Condominium Plans in the Register’s Office, Borrower agrees that:

 

(i)

Borrower shall not, without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided (x) no Event of Default exists and (y) such amendment or modification complies with all Condominium Laws, amend, modify or supplement, or consent to or suffer the amendment, modification or supplementation of any of the Condominium Documents (except with respect to price change amendments to the Offering Plan increasing the Schedule A—Purchase Prices (each a “Price Change Amendment”) as provided in Article 16 hereof). Borrower shall not consent to the merger of the Condominium with any other condominium without Lender’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion. Lender shall endeavor to respond to each request by Borrower for Lender’s approval of an amendment to the Condominium Documents within twenty (20) Business Days following Lender’s receipt of such request and all required documents and information relating to such request. If Lender does not notify Borrower of its approval or disapproval of a proposed amendment to the Condominium Documents within twenty (20) Business Days after request by Borrower and submission by Borrower of all information needed by Lender to evaluate said request, then Borrower may deliver a second request, which request shall state on the top of the first page in bold lettering “LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE MASTER LOAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND LENDER.” If Lender does not notify Borrower of its approval or disapproval of the proposed amendment to the Condominium Documents within ten (10) Business Days after such second request, then as long as no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default exists, the same shall be deemed approved;

 

(ii)

Borrower will pay, or cause to be paid, all assessments for common charges and expenses made against the Mortgaged Property owned by Borrower pursuant to the Condominium Documents as the same shall become due and payable;

 

 

(iii)

(iv)

Borrower, or Borrower’s designated members of the Condominium Board of Managers, will take all actions as may be reasonably necessary from time to time to preserve and maintain the Condominium in accordance with the Condominium Laws;

 

(v)

Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent may be granted or withheld in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion), take (and hereby assigns to Lender any right it may have to take) any action to terminate the Condominium, withdraw the Condominium from the Condominium Laws, or cause a partition of the Condominium to be so withdrawn;

 

(vi)

it shall be an Event of Default if (A) pursuant to any judgment, decision, order, rule or regulation of either a court of competent jurisdiction or a governmental agency with jurisdiction over the Premises and following the expiration of all applicable appeal periods, any material provision of the Condominium Documents is held to be invalid and such invalidity shall materially and adversely affect the lien of the Mortgage or Lender’s other security interests under the Loan Documents, or (B) the Condominium shall become subject to any action for partition by any Unit Owner and said action has not been dismissed within ninety (90) days after commencement thereof, or (C) the Condominium is withdrawn from the condominium regime established under the Condominium Laws;

 

(vii)

Borrower will not, without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed so long as no Event of Default exists, exercise any right it may have to vote for (A) any additions or improvements to the common elements of the Condominium that are not included in the Condominium Plans, except as such additions or improvements may be required by Legal Requirements, (B) any borrowing on behalf of the Condominium or (C) the expenditure of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards for the repair or restoration of the Improvements (unless Borrower is entitled to utilize such insurance proceeds in accordance with Section 5.2(d) hereof);

ARTICLE 10

CONVEYANCES, ENCUMBRANCES AND BORROWINGS

 

Section 10.1      Prohibition Against Conveyances, Encumbrances and Borrowing.

 

(a)       Except with the prior written consent of Lender, and except as expressly permitted in Sections 10.2, neither Borrower nor any other Person shall sell, transfer, convey, assign, mortgage, encumber, pledge, hypothecate, grant a security interest in, grant options with respect to, or otherwise dispose of (directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether or not for consideration or of record) (collectively, a “Conveyance”) all or any portion of any legal or beneficial interest in: (a) all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property including the Leases; or (b) all or any ownership interest in Borrower or in any Upstream Owner, except that a Conveyance of any publicly traded shares in (or issuance of any publicly traded equity of) any Upstream Owner (or the issuance of any equity in or debt of a publicly traded Upstream Owner) shall be specifically permitted without the consent of Lender.

 

 

(b)       In furtherance of the foregoing, subordinate liens (voluntary or involuntary) secured by any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or any beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property, and any mezzanine or any other financing, whether unsecured or secured by any ownership interest in Borrower or in any Upstream Owner, shall not be permitted, except with the prior written consent of Lender in each case. Without limiting Lender’s right to withhold its consent to any Conveyance, any Conveyance must not be to a tenancy in common or an OFAC Prohibited Person. All requests for Lender’s consent under this Section 10.1 shall be on a form previously approved by Lender and shall be accompanied by the payment of Lender’s standard processing fee for such transactions then in effect. Lender’s consent to any of the foregoing actions, if given, may be conditioned upon a change in the interest rate, maturity date, amortization period or other terms under this Agreement, the payment of a Conveyance fee and/or any other requirements of Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to easements or access licenses (or amendments thereto), nor shall Lender require a change in the terms of the Loan in connection with a request for consent to easements or access licenses (or amendments thereto) so long as such easements or access licenses do not have an adverse impact on the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property. In addition to the standard processing fee and the transfer or encumbrance fee referred to in this Section 10.1, Borrower shall pay or reimburse Lender within five (5) days after demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, title search costs, and title insurance endorsement premiums) incurred by Lender in connection with the review, approval and documentation of any such transaction. The foregoing prohibitions are not intended to prevent individual Upstream Owners (other than any general partner or managing member of Borrower or any other Upstream Owner that is required to comply with the provisions of Section 8.12) from obtaining personal loans unrelated to Borrower and the Mortgaged Property and are also not intended to prevent Borrower from incurring reasonable and customary equipment leases, trade payables and unsecured operational debt incurred with trade creditors in the ordinary course of its business of owning and operating the Mortgaged Property in such amounts as are reasonable and customary under the circumstances that will be satisfied within sixty (60) days of the date same becomes payable (subject to the right to contest same in good faith), provided that such debt is not evidenced by a note and is paid when due.

 

Section 10.2       Permitted Transfer.

 

(a)       Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.1(a) above, as long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall have the right to sell or permit the sale of up to an aggregate of forty-nine percent (49%) of the direct and indirect equity interests in Borrower to one or more third-parties provided that:

 

(i)

Any new equity investor must be a Qualified Real Estate Investor and any new equity investor must also be an Institutional Real Estate Investor if it will own more than ten percent (10%) of the direct and indirect interests in Borrower;

REMEDIES

 

Section 12.1      Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may (1) declare the entire Loan to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate the maturity thereof, notice of acceleration of the maturity thereof, or other notice of default of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, (2) terminate the obligation, if any, of Lender to advance amounts hereunder, and (3) exercise all rights and remedies therefor under this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and otherwise available at law or in equity. Notwithstanding any arbitration provision in the Triparty Agreement, Lender shall not be precluded from brining any foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Notes, the Loan Agreements, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, or in the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents. The rights and remedies of Lender under the Triparty Agreement are cumulative and as against Borrower are not in lieu of, but are in addition to, any other rights or remedies which Lender may have under the other Loan Documents, at law, or otherwise. Lender has no duty to Borrower, Indemnitor or any other Person to exercise Lender’s rights under the Triparty Agreement.

 

 

Section 12.2      Lender’s Right to Perform the Obligations. If Borrower shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform any act required by the Loan Documents, then while any Event of Default exists, and without notice to or demand upon Borrower and without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse Lender may have because of such Event of Default, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make Advances to make such payment or perform such act, and shall have the right to enter upon the Premises for such purpose and to take all such action thereon and with respect to the Mortgaged Property as it may deem necessary or appropriate. Similarly, in making any payments to protect the security intended to be created by the Loan Documents, Lender shall not be bound to inquire into the validity of any apparent or threatened adverse title, lien, encumbrance, claim or charge before making an advance for the purpose of preventing or removing the same. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against, and be responsible for, any and all Losses incurred or accruing by reason of any acts performed by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.2, including those arising from the joint, concurrent, or comparative negligence of Lender, except as a result of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

Section 12.3      Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.

 

(a)       To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Mortgaged Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Mortgaged Property for the collection of the Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Indebtedness out of the net proceeds of the Mortgaged Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. Borrower agrees that the actions, sales, proceedings and foreclosure described herein or in any of the other Loan Documents may be commenced in any order determined by Lender.

 

Section 12.4      Advances. At any time when an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make Advances and obtain reimbursement for any and all Advances to satisfy any of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement that Borrower fails to timely satisfy, which Advances shall constitute additions to the Loan. Lender may make an Advance in reliance on any bill, statement or assessment procured from the appropriate governmental authority or other issuer thereof without inquiring into the accuracy or validity thereof. All Advances shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date that each such Advance or expense is made or incurred to the date of repayment, if not paid within five (5) Business Days after demand. Borrower shall pay or reimburse Lender within five (5) Business Days after written demand for any and all Advances made pursuant to this Agreement, including for all interest thereon and for all costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ and appraisers’ and receivers’ fees, costs and expenses and the expenses and reasonable fees of any similar official) related or incidental to the collection of the Indebtedness, any foreclosure of the Mortgage or any other Loan Document, any enforcement, compromise or settlement of any Loan Document or the Indebtedness in any judicial, arbitration, administrative, probate, appellate, bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceeding, as well as in any post-judgment proceeding to collect or enforce any judgment or order relating to the Indebtedness or any Loan Document, as well as any defense or assertion of the rights or claims of Lender in respect of any thereof, by litigation or otherwise. All Advances made and any reasonable expenses incurred at any time by Lender pursuant to the provisions the Loan Documents or under applicable law shall be secured by the Mortgage as part of the Indebtedness, with equal rank and priority.

 

 

Section 12.5      Participation In Proceedings. Lender may, after written notice to Borrower: (i) appear in and defend any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of either Lender or Borrower, in which Lender is named or which Lender reasonably determines may adversely affect the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgage, the Lien thereof or any other Loan Document; and (ii) institute any action or proceeding which Lender reasonably determines should be instituted to protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property or its rights under the Loan Documents, including foreclosure proceedings.

The Cover Sheet and each exhibit, schedule and rider attached to this Agreement are integral parts of this Agreement and are incorporated herein by this reference. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of any such exhibit, schedule or rider and the remainder of this Agreement, the provisions of such exhibit, schedule or rider shall prevail.

 

Section 14.11   Merger. So long as any Indebtedness shall remain unpaid, fee title to and any other estate in the Mortgaged Property shall not merge, but shall be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates in any Person.

 

Section 14.12   Time of the Essence. Time shall be of the essence in the performance of all obligations of Borrower under every Loan Document.

 

Section 14.13   Transfer of Loan. Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer, encumber, pledge or assign the Loan Documents or any portion thereof, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto (collectively, a “Transfer”), or grant participations therein (a “Participation”) or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities (the “Securities”) evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (a “Securitization”). In the case of a Transfer, the transferee shall have, to the extent of such Transfer, the rights, benefits and obligations of “Lender” under the Loan Documents. Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, investor in such Transfer, Participation or Securitization or any Rating Agency rating such Securitization (collectively, the “Investor”) that executes and delivers Lender’s form of (or another customary) non-disclosure agreement and each prospective Investor or any agency maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan, the Mortgaged Property, Borrower, any Principal, and any Indemnitor, whether provided by Borrower, any Indemnitor, or otherwise, as Lender reasonably determines necessary or desirable. Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have under applicable state or federal law to prohibit disclosure in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.13, including any right of privacy. Further Borrower acknowledges that such information may be transmitted via the internet or by email. Lender will notify Borrower in writing of any Transfer of the Loan or any portion thereof, to the extent such Transfer occurs prior to Completion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, provided that no Event of Default exists and prior to Completion, Lender shall not resign as the Administrative Agent without Borrower’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. As long as no Event of Default exists, at all times prior to the Completion of Construction Work and funding of the entire Loan (or if less than the Maximum Loan Amount has been funded on the date the Borrower achieves Completion, Lender having no further obligation to make a Disbursement to Borrower), Lender shall: (i) in connection with a Transfer of a fifty percent (50%) or less interest in the Loan, make such transfer only to an Institutional Real Estate Investor with a net worth of at least $500,000,000 and liquidity (including uncalled capital commitments, commitments from parent entities, and lines of credit) in an amount not less than the lesser of (x) 125% of said entity’s pro-rata share of the then un-funded Loan amount, and (y) the sum of 100% of said entity’s pro-rata share of the then unfunded Loan amount and $10,000,000; and (ii) in connection with the Transfer of greater than a fifty percent (50%) interest in the Loan, make such Transfer only to an Institutional Real Estate Investor with a net worth of at least $1,000,000,000 and liquidity (including uncalled capital commitments, commitments from parent entities, and lines of credit) in an amount not less than the lesser of: (A) 125% of said entity’s pro-rata share of the then unfunded Loan amount, and (B) the sum of 100% of said entity’s pro-rata share of the unfunded Loan amount and $20,000,000.

 

 

Section 14.14    Cooperation. Borrower shall, and shall cause each Principal and Indemnitor to, reasonably cooperate with Lender at no material cost to Borrower in connection with servicing the Loan and any Transfer, Participation, Securitization or any other financing created or obtained in connection with the loan, including:

 

(a)       Estoppel Certificates. Borrower, within ten (10) Business Days following a request by Lender, shall provide Lender or any proposed assignee with an estoppel certificate containing the information set forth in Section 8.9 and such other information that Lender shall reasonably request, duly acknowledged and certified;

 

(b)       Bifurcation of Note. The Note and the Mortgage may, at any time until the same shall be fully paid and satisfied, at the sole election of Lender, be split or divided into two or more notes and two or more security instruments, each of which shall cover all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property to be more particularly described therein. To that end, Borrower, upon written request of Lender, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered by any Indemnitor or the then owner of any of the Mortgaged Property, to Lender and/or its designee or designees substitute notes and security instruments in such principal amounts, aggregating not more than the then unpaid principal amount of Indebtedness, and containing terms, provisions and clauses substantially the same as those contained herein and in the Note, which, in the aggregate, will have economic terms substantially consistent with the Loan, and such other documents and instruments as may be reasonably required by Lender, which have no adverse effect on Borrower. Lender shall reimburse Borrower for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such Transfer, Participation or Securitization; and

 

 

(c)       Transfer of Funds. In the event of a Securitization, all funds held by Lender in connection with the Loan may be deposited in eligible accounts at eligible institutions as then defined and required by any Rating Agency. Borrower and Indemnitor may be required to execute additional documents in connection with any such Transfer, Participation, Securitization or financing, including a new note or notes, which have no material adverse effect on Borrower. Borrower shall not be required to incur any out of pocket costs in connection with any such cooperation.

 

Section 14.15     Register. Lender shall cause to be kept a register (the “Register”) for the registration of ownership and transfer or assignment of the Note or any substitute note or notes secured by the Mortgage. The names and addresses of the registered owners of such notes, the transfers or assignment of such notes and the names and addresses of the transferees of such notes will be registered in the Register under such reasonable regulations as Lender may prescribe. Borrower and Lender shall deem and treat the registered owner of any note as shown in the Register as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and neither Borrower nor Lender shall be affected by any notice to the contrary and payment of the principal of, interest on, and Minimum Multiple Fee, Exit Fee or Closed Period Prepayment Fee, as applicable, if any, due on or with respect to the related note shall be made only to or upon the order of such registered owner. All such payments so made shall be valid and effective to satisfy and discharge the liability of Borrower upon such notes to the extent of the sums so paid. Upon reasonable request from time to time, Lender shall permit Borrower to examine the Register.

 

Section 14.16     Limitation on Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable usury laws. Accordingly, all agreements between Borrower and Lender with respect to the Loan are hereby expressly limited so that in no event, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender or charged by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be lent hereunder or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount allowed by law. If the Loan would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the State and the laws of the United States of America), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents: (a) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under the Loan Documents shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited, without any Minimum Multiple Fee, Exit Fee or Closed Period Prepayment Fee, as applicable, to the outstanding principal of the Loan; and (b) if the Maturity Date is accelerated by reason of an election by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, or in the event of any prepayment, then any consideration which constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by applicable law. In such case, excess interest, if any, provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be amortized, pro-rated, allocated and spread from the date of advance until payment in full thereof so that the actual rate of interest is uniform through the term hereof. If such amortization, pro-ration, allocation and spreading is not permitted under applicable law, then such excess interest shall be cancelled automatically on the Note as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited, without any Minimum Multiple Fee, Exit Fee or Closed Period Prepayment Fee, as applicable, to the outstanding principal of the Loan. The terms and provisions of this Section 14.16 shall control and supersede every other provision of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents are contracts made under and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State as set forth in Section 14.19, except that if at any time the laws of the United States of America permit Lender to contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive a higher rate of interest than is allowed by the laws of the State (whether such federal laws directly so provide or refer to the law of any state), then such federal laws shall to such extent govern as to the rate of interest which Lender may contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive under the Loan Documents.

 

 

Section 14.17    Survival. All of the representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities of Borrower hereunder (other than relating to environmental matters which are instead addressed in the Environmental Indemnification Agreement) shall survive (a) until full and final repayment of the entire Indebtedness (including satisfaction of any outstanding obligations under the Recourse Guaranty Agreement), (b) the transfer (by sale, foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) of any or all right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property to any party, and (c) any assignment by Lender of any interest in the Loan hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

Section 14.18    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, OR RELATED TO, THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY, AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AND EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE OTHER PARTY HAS NOT MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR IN ANY WAY TO MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. BORROWER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BORROWER HAS BEEN REPRESENTED (OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED) IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED BY BORROWER AND THAT BORROWER HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL.

 

Section 14.19    Governing Law. In all respects, including matters of construction and performance of this Agreement and the obligations arising hereunder, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State in which the Premises are located applicable to contracts and obligations made and performed in such State and any applicable laws of the United States of America. Interpretation and construction of this Agreement shall be according to the contents hereof and without presumption or standard of construction in favor of or against Borrower or Lender.

 

Section 14.20    Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. Borrower hereby submits to personal jurisdiction in the State in which the Premises are located for the enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and irrevocably waives any and all rights to object to such jurisdiction for the purposes of litigation to enforce any provision of this Agreement. Borrower hereby consents to the jurisdiction of and agrees that any action, suit or proceeding to enforce this Agreement may be brought in any state or federal court in the state in which the Premises are located. Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection that it may have to the laying of the venue of any such actions, suit, or proceeding in any such court and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

 

Section 14.21    Intentionally omitted.

 

Section 14.22    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Lender and Borrower and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

 

Section 14.23    Pledge and Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby pledges to Lender, and grants a security interest in, any and all monies now or hereafter deposited with Lender from time to time as additional security for the payment of the Loan, but subject to the rights of tenants with respect to any tenant security deposits under Leases and the rights of Unit Purchasers under Unit Contracts of Sale. Borrower shall not further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any monies on deposit therein from time to time or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 financing statements (except those naming Lender as the secured party) to be filed with respect thereto. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any such sums then deposited with Lender to the payment of the charges for which such funds have been deposited or to the payment of the Loan or any other charges affecting the security of the Loan, as Lender may elect, but no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender. Until expended or applied as above provided, such funds shall constitute additional security for the Loan.

 

Section 14.24    Confidentiality. Except to the extent (i) required under applicable Legal Requirements, and/or (ii) in connection with a dispute between Lender/Barings and Borrower, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender and Barings in each case, neither Borrower, nor any of its Affiliates, Upstream Owners, brokers, attorneys, accountants or other agents or other representatives shall disclose to any Person or party through any means (including, but not limited to, orally or by correspondence, electronic communications, signage, press-releases, interviews or any publicity or advertising), other than to Lender and its representatives: (i) the existence of any business relationship between Borrower and Lender and/or Barings, or (ii) the existence of any connection between the Loan and Lender and/or Barings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Borrower may make such disclosures as Borrower determines are required by law upon advice of counsel due to the fact that Indemnitor is a public company.

 

Section 14.25    Broker. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Barings and Lender from and against, and shall be responsible for, any Losses arising from any claim or litigation made or threatened by any broker or finder (but excluding any brokers or finders claiming by or through Barings or Lender) in connection with the proposed Loan, and any court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees (including, without limitation, the cost of post-judgment remedies and appeals) incurred by Barings or Lender in connection with any such claim or litigation.

 

 

Section 14.26   Defaulting Lender. Any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire by assignment either (i) all of the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loan, or (ii) the Defaulting Lender’s remaining unfunded commitment, including the advance or other amount which, by its failure or refusal to so fund, caused such Defaulting Lender to become a Defaulting Lender (as applicable, the “Defaulting Lender’s Acquired Interest”). Any Lender desiring to exercise such right shall give written notice thereof to Administrative Agent and Borrower no sooner than two (2) Business Days and not later than thirty (30) Business Days after such Defaulting Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender. If more than one Lender exercises such right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire the Defaulting Lender’s Acquired Interest in proportion to the interests in the Loan then held by the Lenders exercising such right. If after such thirtieth Business Day, no Lender has elected to acquire the Defaulting Lender’s Acquired Interest or, if having so elected, the Lender or Lenders that made such election have not within thirty (30) days following such election closed such acquisition of the Defaulting Lender’s Acquired Interest, then Borrower may, by giving written notice thereof to Administrative Agent, to the Defaulting Lender and to the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign to an Institutional Real Estate Investor proposed by Borrower, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.26 for the purchase price provided for below, the Defaulting Lender’s Acquired Interest. Upon any such assignment of all of its interest in the Loan (as opposed to the Defaulting Lender’s unfunded commitment), the Defaulting Lender's interest in the Loan and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase. In connection with the purchase of the Defaulting Lender’s Acquired Interest by a Lender or Lenders or by an Institutional Real Estate Investor, the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer the Defaulting Lender’s Acquired Interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the Defaulting Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $25,000. If a Lender or Lenders or an Institutional Real Estate Investor purchases all of the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loan (as opposed to the Defaulting Lender’s unfunded commitment), the purchase price for said interest of the Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the principal amounts outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Defaulting Lender. In connection with an assignment of only such Defaulting Lender’s remaining unfunded commitment, the purchase price shall be zero, and the Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any amount owed to it by Borrower under the Loan Documents which accrued prior to the date of the default by the Defaulting Lender, as and when and to the extent the same are received by Administrative Agent from or on behalf of Borrower. There shall be no recourse against any Lender or Administrative Agent for the payment of such sums except to the extent of the receipt of payments from any other party or in respect of the Loans.

 

 

ARTICLE 15

 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

Section 15.1     Appointment, Powers and Immunities. At all times when there is a lender other than (including in addition to) Lender under this Agreement, the Lenders shall be deemed to appoint and authorize the Administrative Agent to act for all purposes as their agent under the Loan Documents. The provisions of this Article 15 shall not apply at any time when the Administrative Agent is the sole Lender.

 

Section 15.2     Reliance by Borrower on Administrative Agent. At all times when there is more than one Lender, (1) Borrower (a) is entitled to rely on the Administrative Agent for any waiver, amendment, approval or consent given by “Lender” under the Loan Documents, (b) shall adhere only to waivers, amendments, approvals or consents given by Administrative Agent, on behalf of “Lender” under the Loan Documents, and (c) shall make all payments under the Notes and the other Loan Documents to Administrative Agent, as set forth herein, and (2) Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of all of the Lenders, be permitted to take all actions, including exercising all remedies, permitted to be taken by “Lender” under the Loan Documents (either by law or pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents), and (3) all legal action taken respecting the Loan Documents shall be taken by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and all default notices under the Loan Documents will be provided by the Administrative Agent. Unless and until the Lenders notify Borrower otherwise, the Administrative Agent is Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company. The use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Notes, unless otherwise directed by Administrative Agent in writing, all payments under the Loan Documents shall be made by Borrower to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7(a).

 

Section 15.3     Rights as a Lender. If the Administrative Agent is also a Lender hereunder it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

 

 

ARTICLE 16

Lender shall complete its review of the form of purchase and sale agreement within thirty (30) days following its receipt of same and simultaneously with its review of the Offering Plan, and shall either approve or disapprove the same within said thirty (30) day period.

Borrower shall cause the revised standard form of purchase and sale agreement to address the reasonable concerns or reasons for Lender’s disapproval of the prior drafts of the same.
