CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
AGREEMENT
This CONSTRUCTION
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”), dated
as of December 15, 2005 (the “ Effective Date
”), is made by and between BNP PARIBAS LEASING CORPORATION
(“ BNPPLC ”), a Delaware corporation, and
NETWORK APPLIANCE, INC. (“ NAI ”), a Delaware
corporation.
Contemporaneously
with the execution of this Agreement, BNPPLC and NAI are executing
a Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement dated as of the
Effective Date (the “ Common Definitions and Provisions
Agreement ”), which by this reference is incorporated
into and made a part of this Agreement for all purposes. As
used in this Agreement, capitalized terms defined in the Common
Definitions and Provisions Agreement and not otherwise defined in
this Agreement are intended to have the respective meanings
assigned to them in the Common Definitions and Provisions
Agreement.
At the request of
NAI and to facilitate the transaction contemplated in the other
Operative Documents, contemporaneously with this Agreement BNPPLC
is executing and accepting a Ground Lease from NAI (the “
Ground Lease ”), pursuant to which BNPPLC is acquiring
a leasehold estate in the Land described in Exhibit A
and any existing Improvements on such Land.
Also
contemporaneously with this Agreement, BNPPLC and NAI are executing
a Lease Agreement (the “ Lease ”), pursuant to
which the parties expect that NAI will lease the Improvements on
the Land described in Exhibit A from BNPPLC for a lease
term that will commence on the Completion Date (as defined
below).
In anticipation of
the construction of new or additional Improvements for NAI’s
use pursuant to the Lease, BNPPLC and NAI have agreed upon the
terms and conditions upon which BNPPLC is willing to authorize NAI
to arrange and manage such construction and upon which BNPPLC is
willing to provide funds for such construction, and by this
Agreement BNPPLC and NAI desire to evidence such
agreement.
ENGAGEMENT AND
AUTHORIZATION
Subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, BNPPLC does
hereby engage and authorize NAI — and NAI does hereby accept
such engagement and authorization, as an independent contractor for
BNPPLC — to construct the Construction Project on the Land
and to manage such construction for BNPPLC. As more particularly
provided in subparagraph 2(A)(2) below, NAI will take possession
and control of the Land and all Improvements on the Land to
accomplish such construction. However, the rights and authority
granted to NAI by this Agreement are expressly made subject and
subordinate to the terms and condition hereinafter set
forth and to
the Ground Lease, to the Permitted Encumbrances and to any other
claims or encumbrances affecting the Land or the Property that may
be asserted by third parties other than Liens Removable by
BNPPLC.
GENERAL TERMS AND
CONDITIONS
1
Additional
definitions . As used in this Agreement, capitalized
terms defined above will have the respective meanings assigned to
them above; as indicated above, capitalized terms that are defined
in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement and that are
used but not defined herein will have the respective meanings
assigned to them in the Common Definitions and Provisions
Agreement; and, the following terms will have the following
respective meanings:
“
97-10/Event ” means any of the following:
(a) NAI gives a
Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate and thereafter
(i) fails to rescind the same as described in subparagraph
7(B)(7) within ten days after BNPPLC responds with any Increased
Commitment, or (ii) gives a Notice of Termination as provided
in subparagraph 7(B)(1); or
(b) NAI gives a
notice to terminate the Supplemental Payment Obligation as
described in subparagraph 6(B) of the Purchase Agreement;
or
(c) BNPPLC gives
notice to NAI as described in subparagraph 7(C) to cause a
Termination of NAI’s Work; or
(d) NAI fails for
any reason whatsoever to substantially complete the Construction
Project and give a Completion Notice to BNPPLC prior to the Target
Completion Date; or
(e) for any reason
whatsoever (including the accrual of Carrying Costs), the Funded
Construction Allowance exceeds the Maximum Construction
Allowance.
“
97-10/Maximum Permitted Prepayment ” as of any date
means the amount equal to eighty-nine and nine-tenths of one
percent (89.9%) of the aggregate of all 97-10/Project Costs paid or
incurred on or prior to such date.
Construction Management Agreement
— Page 2
“
97-10/Prepayment ” means any payment to BNPPLC
required by Paragraph 9, which in each case will equal (A) the
97-10/Maximum Permitted Prepayment, computed as of the date on
which the payment becomes due, less (B) the sum of
(1) the accreted value of any prior payments actually received
by BNPPLC from NAI constituting 97-10/Prepayments, and
(2) amounts (if any) then owed by BNPPLC to NAI pursuant to
this Agreement as reimbursements for 97-10 Project Costs paid by
NAI and not theretofore reimbursed. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, “accreted value” of a payment means the
amount of the payment plus an amount equal to the interest that
would have accrued on the payment if it bore interest at the
Effective Rate plus the Spread.
“
97-10/Project Costs ” means the following:
(a) costs incurred
for the Work, including not only hard costs incurred for the new
Improvements described in Exhibit B , but also the
following costs to the extent reasonably incurred in connection
with the Construction Project:
|
|
•
|
|
soft costs, such as architectural
fees, engineering fees and fees and costs paid in connection with
obtaining project permits and approvals required by governmental
authorities or any Permitted Encumbrance,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
site preparation costs,
and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
costs of offsite and other public
improvements required as conditions of governmental approvals for
the Construction Project or required by any Permitted
Encumbrances;
|
(b) costs
incurred to maintain insurance required by (and consistent with the
requirements of) this Agreement prior to the Completion
Date;
(c) Local
Impositions that have accrued or become due prior to the Completion
Date;
(d) Accrued
Construction Period Interest Expense; and
(e) any costs
in addition to those described in clauses (a) through
(d) preceding that GAAP (as it exists on the Effective Date)
would allow BNPPLC to capitalize as part of the cost of the
Property or that the 97-10/Pronouncement would allow BNPPLC to
characterize as project costs, including: (1) cancellation or
termination fees or other compensation payable by NAI or BNPPLC
pursuant to any contract concerning the Construction Project made
by NAI or BNPPLC with any general contractor, architect, engineer
or other third party because of any election by NAI or BNPPLC to
cancel or
Construction Management Agreement
— Page 3
terminate such
contract, and (2) any costs that BNPPLC incurs and is allowed
to capitalize to continue or complete the Construction Project
after any Owner’s Election to Continue Construction as
provided in subparagraph 8(A).
However,
notwithstanding the foregoing, 97-10/Project Costs will not include
Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses, Administrative Fees, the
Arrangement Fee, or any legal fees which are included in
Transaction Expenses.
“
97-10/Pronouncement ” means the pronouncement issued
by the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board in 1998 titled “EITF 97-10: The Effect of
Lessee Involvement in Construction”, which provides that
certain kinds of involvement by a lessee in pre-lease commencement
construction will cause the lessee to be considered as the owner of
the leased property during the construction period and then will
require application of the appropriate sale and leaseback
accounting rules.
“
NAI’s Estimate of Force Majeure Delays ” has the
meaning indicated in subparagraph 7(B)(4).
“
NAI’s Estimate of Force Majeure Excess Costs ”
has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 7(B)(3).
“
Accrued Construction Period Interest Expense ” means
interest that has accrued and that BNPPLC has paid or is obligated
to pay on Funding Advances for any period prior to the Completion
Date. Such interest will include a percentage, equal to the
aggregate Percentages of all Participants (under and as defined in
the Participation Agreement), of Carrying Costs and Commitment Fees
that accrue after the execution of any Participation Agreement and
that are added to the Outstanding Construction Allowance as
provided in this Agreement, it being understood that the additional
amounts BNPPLC must pay to the Participants under the Participation
Agreement because of the accrual of Carrying Costs and Commitment
Fees effectively constitute construction period interest on
advances the Participants make to BNPPLC under the Participation
Agreement. Accrued Construction Period Interest Expense will also
include any interest and other finance charges that accrue prior to
the Completion Date because of Funding Advances provided to BNPPLC
by BNPPLC’s Parent in the form of loans, regardless of
whether BNPPLC’s obligation in respect of such loans is
limited to BNPPLC’s interest in the Property. However, any
such interest and other finance charges accruing on Funding
Advances provided by BNPPLC’s Parent and included in Accrued
Construction Period Interest Expense will not exceed the Carrying
Costs attributable to the portion of the Lease Balance funded or
maintained by such Funding Advances. Further, Accrued Construction
Period Interest will not include any portion of Carrying Costs
included in Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses (as set forth in the
definition thereof below) or interest or finance charges that
BNPPLC must pay to the

(such as, for example, the costs of repairing damage to the
Improvements
Construction Management Agreement
— Page 8
caused by a
Pre-lease Force Majeure Event) exceed the amounts available to pay
or reimburse NAI for such increased costs. Amounts available to pay
or reimburse such increased costs will include (a) insurance
proceeds or any recovery from a third party (including any Escrowed
Proceeds held by BNPPLC), and (b) any part of the Construction
Allowance (including any unused contingency amount in the
Construction Budget) not used or needed to cover other Reimbursable
Construction Period Costs.
“
Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses ” means any of the
following Losses that BNPPLC suffers by reason of damage to the
Improvements caused by a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event:
(a) the costs of
repairing such damage to the extent that such costs have, as of the
date of any required determination of Pre-lease Force Majeure
Losses, (i) been paid or reimbursed from a Construction
Advance (and thus are included in the Lease Balance as of that
date), to be distinguished from costs of repairs paid or reimbursed
from insurance proceeds or from any recovery from a third party,
and (ii) exceeded amounts (if any) available in the NAI’s
original Construction Budget for contingencies and thus would not
have been covered by the Construction Allowance but for an
Increased Funding Commitment;
(b) any diminution
in the value of the Improvements resulting from any such damage
that has not, as of the date of the required determination of
Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses, been repaired;
(c) any increase
in the total amount of Carrying Costs, Commitment Fees,
Administrative Fees, Increased Cost Charges, Capital Adequacy
Charges and Ground Lease Rents (and any other amounts) added to the
Lease Balance as provided in Paragraph 3 solely by reason of
Pre-lease Force Majeure Delays; and
(d) to the extent
not already included in the increase described in the preceding
clause, all increases in Carrying Costs that are attributable to
the amounts included in Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses pursuant to
the preceding clause (a);
but in each
case such amounts will constitute Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses
only to the extent, if any, that they are not offset by insurance
proceeds which are (1) paid by reason of such Pre-lease Force
Majeure Event (including insurance proceeds paid to compensate
BNPPLC or NAI for increased financing costs, the lost time value of
BNPPLC’s investment in the Project or business interruption)
and (2) applied as a Qualified Prepayment to reduce the Lease
Balance.
Also, for
purposes of this definition, the diminution in the value of the
Improvements, as
Construction Management Agreement
— Page 9
described in
the preceding clause (b), will not exceed the amount thereof
estimated in good faith by any independent appraiser or insurance
adjuster engaged by BNPPLC to determine such amount after BNPPLC
has received a Notice of Pre-lease Force Majeure Event as provided
in subparagraph 6(B), nor will it exceed the cost of repairing the
damage described in the preceding clause (b) as estimated in
good faith by any such independent insurance adjuster or as
indicated by any bona fide written bid to make the repairs that
BNPPLC obtains from a reputable contractor capable of making the
repairs.
“
Prior Work ” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph
4(C)(2)(b).
“
Projected Cost Overruns ” means the excess (if any),
calculated as of the date of each Construction Advance Request, of
(1) the total of projected Reimbursable Construction Period
Costs yet to be incurred or for which NAI has yet to be reimbursed
hereunder (including projected Reimbursable Construction Period
Costs for Future Work), over (2) the balance of the remaining
Construction Allowance then projected to be available to cover such
costs. The balance of the remaining Construction Allowance then
projected to be available will equal: (i) the amount (if any)
by which the Maximum Construction Allowance exceeds the Funded
Construction Allowance, plus (ii) any Escrowed Proceeds
then available or expected to be available to cover costs of
repairs and restoration that NAI will perform as part of the Work
after a casualty or condemnation, less (iii) all
projected future Carrying Costs, Commitment Fees, Administrative
Fees and other amounts to be added to the Outstanding Construction
Allowance as provided in Paragraph 3.
“
Projected Economic Depreciation of Equipment ” means
the difference (not less than zero) calculated by subtracting
(A) the amount determined by BNPPLC (as provided in
subparagraph 4(C)(2)(d)) to equal the projected fair value of
Integral Equipment at the end of the scheduled Term of the Lease,
from (B) the 97-10/Project Costs attributable to such Integral
Equipment.
“
Reimbursable Construction Period Costs ” has the
meaning indicated in subparagraph 4(A).
“
Remaining Proceeds ” has the meaning indicated in
subparagraph 5(A).
“
Scope Change ” means a change to the Construction
Project that, if implemented, will make the quality, function or
capacity of the Improvements “materially different” (as
defined below in this subparagraph) than as described or inferred
by the site plan or plans and renderings referenced in Exhibit
B . The term “ Scope Change ” is not
intended to include the mere refinement, correction or detailing of
the site plan, plans or renderings submitted to BNPPLC by NAI. As
used in this definition, a “material difference”
means
Construction Management Agreement
— Page 10
a difference
that could reasonably be expected to (a) cause the Lease
Balance to exceed the fair market value of the Property when the
Construction Project is completed and all Construction Advances
required in connection therewith have been funded, or significantly
increase any such excess, (b) change the general character of
the Improvements from that needed to accommodate the uses to be
permitted by subparagraph 2(A) of the Lease, or
(c) cause or exacerbate Projected Cost Overruns.
“
Target Completion Date ” means the last day of the
18 th
calendar month following the
Effective Date.
“
Termination of NAI’s Work ” means a termination
of NAI’s rights and obligations to continue the Work because
of an election to terminate made by NAI pursuant to subparagraph
7(B) or because of an election by BNPPLC made pursuant to
subparagraph 7(C).
“
Third Party Contract ” has the meaning indicated in
subparagraph 2(A)(2)(b).
“
Third Party Contract/Termination Fees ” means any
amounts, however denominated, for which NAI will be obligated under
a Third Party Contract as a result of any election or decision by
NAI to terminate such Third Party Contract, including
demobilization costs; provided, however, amounts payable only by
reason of Prior Work as of the date any such termination will not
be characterized as Third Party Contract/Termination Fees. If NAI
reserves an absolute express right in a Third Party Contract to
terminate such contract at any time, without cause, for a specified
U.S. dollar amount, such amount will constitute a Third Party
Contract/Termination Fee. If no such right is reserved in a Third
Party Contract, the amount of damages that NAI is required to pay
(in addition to payments required for Prior Work) upon a
repudiation of the Third Party Contract by NAI will qualify as a
“Third Party Contract/Termination Fee” applicable to
such contract for purposes of this Agreement.
“
Work ” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph
2(A)(2)(a).
“
Work/Suspension Event ” means any of the
following:
(1) Projected Cost
Overruns have become more likely than not, in BNPPLC’s good
faith judgment (taking into account any notices or Construction
Draw Requests from NAI indicating that a Pre-lease Force Majeure
Event may result in Projected Cost Overruns), and BNPPLC has
notified NAI of such judgement and the reasons therefor.
(2) Delays in the
Work (including any delays resulting from damage to the Property by
fire or other casualty or from any taking of any part of the
Property by
Construction Management Agreement
— Page 11
condemnation)
have made it substantially unlikely, in BNPPLC’s good faith
judgment, that NAI will be able to complete the Construction
Project in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement prior
to the Target Completion Date using only the funds available to NAI
under this Agreement, and BNPPLC has notified NAI of such judgement
and the reasons therefor.
(3) BNPPLC has
requested with respect to any Construction Advance, but NAI has
failed to provide within thirty days after receipt of the request:
(1) invoices, requests for payment from contractors and other
evidence reasonably establishing that the costs and expenses for
which NAI has requested or is requesting reimbursement constitute
actual Reimbursable Construction Period Costs, and
(2) canceled checks, lien waivers or other evidence reasonably
establishing that all prior Construction Advances paid to NAI have
been used by NAI to pay the Reimbursable Construction Period Costs
for which the prior advances were requested and made.
“
Work/Suspension Notice ” means a notice from BNPPLC to
NAI advising NAI of any event or circumstances that constitute a
Work/Suspension Event and advising NAI that (1) before the
Work/Suspension Event is rectified BNPPLC may limit Construction
Advances to NAI as permitted by this Agreement, and (2) unless
NAI does rectify the Work/Suspension Event within thirty days after
NAI’s receipt of such notice, BNPPLC may elect to send an
FOCB Notice in anticipation of a Termination of NAI’s
Work.
“
Work/Suspension Period ” means any period
(1) beginning with the date of any Work/Suspension Notice,
FOCB Notice or Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate, and
(2) ending on the earlier of (a) the first date upon
which (i) no Work/Suspension Events are continuing,
(ii) all previous FOCB Notices and Notices of NAI’s
Intent to Terminate (if any) have been rescinded, and (iii) no
97-10/Events have occurred, or (b) the effective date of any
Termination of NAI’s Work as described in subparagraph 7(B)
or subparagraph 7(C).
2
Construction and
Management of the Property by NAI .
(A) The
Construction Project .
(1)
Construction Approvals by BNPPLC .
(a)
Preconstruction Approvals by BNPPLC . NAI submitted and
obtained BNPPLC’s approval of the site plan and descriptions
of the Construction Project referenced in Exhibit B . Also
set forth in Exhibit B is a general description of the
Construction Project. The Construction Project, as constructed by
NAI pursuant to this Agreement, and all construction contracts and
other agreements
Construction Management Agreement
— Page 12
executed or
adopted by NAI in connection therewith, must not be inconsistent in
any material respect with the plans or other items referenced in
Exhibit B , except to the extent otherwise provided by any
Scope Change approved by BNPPLC and except as otherwise provided in
subparagraph 8(A) if BNPPLC should make an Owner’s Election
to Continue Construction after any Termination of NAI’s
Work.
(b) Approval of
Scope Changes . Before making a Scope Change, NAI must provide
to BNPPLC a reasonably detailed written description of the Scope
Change, a revised Construction Budget and a copy of any changes to
the drawings, plans and specifications for the Improvements
required in connection therewith, all of which must be approved in
writing by BNPPLC before the Scope Change is implemented. After
receiving such items, BNPPLC will endeavor in good faith to respond
promptly (and in any event no later than thirty days after such
receipt) to any request by NAI for approval of the Scope Change.
BNPPLC will not, however, be liable for any failure to provide a
prompt response. Further, BNPPLC’s approval will not in any
event constitute a waiver of subparagraph 2(A)(3) or of any other
provision of this Agreement or other Operative
Documents.
(2) NAI’s
Right to Possession and to Control Construction . Subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and prior to
any Termination of NAI’s Work as provided in subparagraphs
7(B) and 7(C), NAI will have possession of the Land and all
Improvements on the Land to the exclusion of BNPPLC and will have
the sole right to control and the sole responsibility for the
design and construction of the Construction Project, including the
means, methods, sequences and procedures implemented to accomplish
such design and construction. Although title to all Improvements
will vest in BNPPLC (as more particularly provided in subparagraph
2(C)), BNPPLC’s obligation with respect to the Construction
Project will be limited to the making of advances under and subject
to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the
foregoing, NAI acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) Performance
of the Work . Except as provided in subparagraphs 7(A) and
7(D), NAI must, using its best skill and judgment and in an
expeditious and economical manner not inconsistent with the
interests of BNPPLC, perform or cause to be performed all work
required, and must provide or cause to be provided all supplies and
materials required, to design and complete construction of the
Construction Project (collectively “ Work ”) no
later than the Target Completion Date. The Work will include
obtaining all necessary building permits and other governmental
approvals required in connection with the design and construction
of the Construction Project, or required in connection with the use
and occupancy thereof ( e.g., final certificates of
occupancy). The Work will
Construction Management Agreement
— Page 13
also include
any repairs or restoration required because of damage to
Improvements by fire or other casualty prior to the Completion Date
(a “ Pre-lease Casualty ”); provided,
however , the cost of any such repairs or restoration will be
subject to reimbursement not only through Construction Advances
made to NAI on and subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, but also through the application of Escrowed Proceeds as
provided in Paragraph 5; and, provided further , like other
Work, any such repairs and restoration to be provided by NAI will
be subject to subparagraphs 7(A) and 7(D), which establish certain
rights of NAI to suspend or discontinue any Work. NAI will
carefully schedule and supervise all Work, will check all materials
and services used in connection with all Work and will keep full
and detailed accounts as may be necessary to document expenditures
made or expenses incurred for the Work.
(b) Third Party
Contracts .
1) NAI will not
enter into any construction contract or other agreement with a
third party concerning the Work or the Construction Project (a
“ Third Party Contract ”) in the name of BNPPLC
or otherwise purport to bind BNPPLC to any obligation to any third
party.
2) In any Third
Party Contract between NAI and any of its Affiliates (an “
Affiliate’s Contract ”) NAI must reserve the
right to terminate such contract at any time, without cause, and
without subjecting NAI to liability for any Third Party
Contract/Termination Fee. Further, NAI must not enter into any
Affiliate’s Contract that obligates NAI to pay more than
would be required under an arms-length contract or that would
require NAI to pay its Affiliate any amount in excess of the sum of
actual, out-of-pocket direct costs and internal labor costs
incurred by the Affiliate to perform such contract.
(c) Adequacy of
Drawings, Specifications and Budgets . BNPPLC has not made and
will not make any representations as to the adequacy of the
Construction Budget or any other budget or any site plans,
renderings, plans, drawings or specifications for the Construction
Project, and no modification of any such budgets, site plans,
renderings, plans, drawings or specifications that may be required
from time to time will entitle NAI to any adjustment in the
Construction Allowance.
(d) Existing
Condition of the Land and Improvements . NAI is familiar with
the conditions of the Land and any existing Improvements on the
Land. NAI will have no claim for damages against BNPPLC or for an
increase in the
Construction Management Agreement
— Page 14
Construction
Allowance or for an extension of the deadline specified in
subparagraph 2(A)(2)(a) for completing the Work by reason of any
condition (concealed or otherwise) of or affecting the Land or
Improvements.
(e) Correction
of Defective Work . NAI will promptly correct all Work
performed prior to any Termination of NAI’s Work that does
not comply with the requirements of this Agreement for any reason
other than a Pre-lease Casualty (“ Defective Work
”). If NAI fails to correct any Defective Work or fails to
carry out Work in accordance with this Agreement, BNPPLC may (but
will not be required to) order NAI to stop all Work until the cause
for such failure has been eliminated.
(f) Clean
Up . Upon the completion of all Work, NAI will remove all waste
material and rubbish from and about the Land, as well as all tools,
construction equipment, machinery and surplus materials. NAI will
keep the Land and the Improvements thereon in a reasonably safe and
sightly condition as Work progresses.
(g) No Damage
for Delays . NAI will have no claim for damages against BNPPLC
or for an increase in the Construction Allowance by reason of any
delay in the performance of any Work. Nor will NAI have any claim
for an extension of the deadline specified in subparagraph
2(A)(2)(a) for completing the Work because of any such period of
delay, except that (i) in the case of any Pre-lease Force
Majeure Delays, NAI will have certain rights as set forth in
subparagraph 7(B) and other provisions of this Agreement, and
(ii) in the event of intentional interference with the Work by
BNPPLC itself for which NAI provides written notice to cease, NAI
will be entitled to an extension of the deadline specified in
subparagraph 2(A)(2)(a) as needed because of any delays resulting
from such intentional interference. It is also understood that any
such intentional interference by BNPPLC will constitute a Force
Majeure Event. In no event, however, will BNPPLC’s exercise
of its rights and remedies permitted under this Agreement or the
other Operative Documents be construed as intentional interference
with NAI’s performance of any Work; and thus neither
BNPPLC’s exercise of its right to withhold Construction
Advances at any time when NAI has failed to satisfy all conditions
herein to such advances, nor BNPPLC’s exercise of its right
to terminate Work by NAI as provided in subparagraph 7(C), be
considered as intentional interference with the Work or a Pre-lease
Force Majeure Event.
(h) No Fee For
Construction Management . NAI will have no claim under this
Agreement for any fee or other compensation or for any
reimbursement
Construction Management Agreement
— Page 15
of internal
administrative or overhead expenses (other than the out-of-pocket
overhead expenses properly included in the Construction Budget, if
any), it being understood that NAI is executing this Agreement in
consideration of the rights expressly granted to it herein and in
the other Operative Documents.
(3) Quality of
Work . NAI will cause the Work undertaken and administered by
it pursuant to this Agreement to be performed (a) in a safe
and good and workmanlike manner, (b) in accordance with
Applicable Laws, and (c) in compliance with the provisions of
this Agreement and the material provisions of the Permitted
Encumbrances.
(B)
Completion Notice . Within ten Business Days after NAI
substantially completes construction of the Construction Project
and obtains any certificate of occupancy or other permit (temporary
or permanent) required by Applicable Laws for the commencement of
NAI’s use and occupancy of the Improvements, NAI must provide
a notice (a “ Completion Notice ”) to BNPPLC,
advising BNPPLC thereof, and thereby establish the Completion Date.
For purposes of this Agreement and the other Operative Documents,
BNPPLC will be entitled to rely without investigation upon any such
notice given by NAI as evidence that NAI has, in fact,
substantially completed the Construction Project and has obtained
any certificate of occupancy or other permit (temporary or
permanent) required for the commencement of NAI’s use of the
Improvements, and after giving any such notice NAI will be estopped
from later claiming that the Completion Date has not
occurred.
(C)
Status of Property Acquired With BNPPLC’s Funds . All
Improvements constructed on the Land as provided in this Agreement
will constitute “Property” for purposes of the Lease
and other Operative Documents. Further, to the extent heretofore or
hereafter acquired (in whole or in part) with any portion of the
Initial Advance or with any Construction Advances or with other
funds for which NAI receives reimbursement from the Initial Advance
or Construction Advances, all furnishings, furniture, chattels,
permits, licenses, franchises, certificates and other personal
property of whatever nature will be considered as having been
acquired on behalf of BNPPLC by NAI and will constitute
“Property” for purposes of the Lease and other
Operative Documents, as will all renewals or replacements of or
substitutions for any such Property. The parties intend that title
to the Improvements and to any other such Property will vest in
BNPPLC without passing through NAI or NAI’s Affiliates before
it is transferred to BNPPLC from contractors, suppliers, vendors or
other third Persons, but with the understanding that all such
Property will be accepted by BNPPLC subject to the terms and
conditions of the other Operative Documents, including
subparagraph 4(C)(1) of the Lease (concerning the
characterization of the Lease and other Operative Documents for tax
and certain other purposes). Although nothing herein constitutes
authorization of NAI by BNPPLC to bind BNPPLC to any construction
contract or other agreement with a third Person, any construction
contract or other agreement executed by NAI for the acquisition or
construction of Improvements or other components of the Property
may, as NAI deems appropriate, provide for the direct transfer
of
Construction Management Agreement
— Page 16
title to BNPPLC
as described in the preceding sentence.
(1) Liability
Insurance . Throughout the period prior to the earlier of any
Termination of NAI’s Work or the Completion Date, NAI must
maintain commercial general liability insurance against claims for
bodily and personal injury, death and property damage occurring in
or upon or resulting from any occurrence in or upon the Property
under one or more insurance policies that satisfy the Minimum
Insurance Requirements, which are set forth in an exhibit to the
Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement. NAI must deliver and
maintain with BNPPLC for each liability insurance policy required
by this Agreement written confirmation of the policy and the scope
of the coverage provided thereby issued by the applicable insurer
or its authorized agent, which confirmation must also satisfy the
Minimum Insurance Requirements.
(2) Property
Insurance . Throughout the period prior to the earlier of any
Termination of NAI’s Work or the Completion Date, NAI must
also keep all Improvements (including all alterations, additions
and changes made to the Improvements) and Integral Equipment
insured against fire and other casualty under one or more property
insurance policies that satisfy the Minimum Insurance Requirements.
NAI must deliver and maintain with BNPPLC for each property
insurance policy required by this Agreement written confirmation of
the policy and the scope of the coverage provided thereby issued by
the applicable insurer or its authorized agent, which confirmation
must also satisfy the Minimum Insurance Requirements. If any of the
Property is destroyed or damaged by fire, explosion, windstorm,
hail or by any other casualty against which insurance has been
required hereunder, (i) BNPPLC may, but will not be obligated to,
make proof of loss if not made promptly by NAI after notice from
BNPPLC, (ii) each insurance company concerned is hereby
authorized and directed to make payment for such loss directly to
BNPPLC for application as required by Paragraph 5, and
(iii) BNPPLC may settle, adjust or compromise any and all
claims for loss, damage or destruction under any policy or policies
of insurance (provided, that so long as no 97-10/Event has occurred
and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, BNPPLC must
provide NAI with at least forty-five days notice of BNPPLC’s
intention to settle any such claim before settling it unless NAI
has already approved of the settlement by BNPPLC). BNPPLC will not
in any event or circumstances be liable or responsible for failure
to collect, or to exercise diligence in the collection of, any
insurance proceeds. If any casualty results in damage to or loss or
destruction of the Property, NAI must give prompt notice thereof to
BNPPLC and Paragraph 5 will apply.
(3) Failure of
NAI to Obtain Insurance . If NAI fails to obtain any insurance
or to provide confirmation of any insurance as required by this
Agreement, BNPPLC will be
Construction Management Agreement
— Page 17
entitled (but
not required) to obtain the insurance that NAI has failed to obtain
or for which NAI has not provided the required confirmation and,
without limiting BNPPLC’s other remedies under the
circumstances, BNPPLC may charge the cost of such insurance against
the Construction Allowance as if it were a Construction Advance
paid to NAI as hereinafter provided.
(4) Waiver of
Subrogation . NAI, for itself and for any Person claiming
through it (including any insurance company claiming by way of
subrogation), waives any and every claim which arises or may arise
in its favor against BNPPLC or any other Interested Party for any
and all Losses, to the extent that NAI is compensated by insurance
or would be compensated by the insurance policies contemplated in
this Agreement, but for any deductible or self-insured retention
maintained under such insurance or but for a failure of NAI to
maintain the insurance as required by this Agreement. NAI agrees to
have such insurance policies properly endorsed so as to make them
valid notwithstanding this waiver, if such endorsement is required
to prevent a loss of insurance.
(E)
Condemnation . Immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the
institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the Property
or any portion thereof, or any other similar governmental or
quasi-governmental proceedings arising out of injury or damage to
the Property or any portion thereof, each party must promptly
notify the other (provided, however, BNPPLC will have no liability
for its failure to provide such notice) of the pendency of such
proceedings. Prior to any Termination of NAI’s Work, NAI
must, if requested by BNPPLC, diligently prosecute any such
proceedings and consult with BNPPLC, its attorneys and experts and
cooperate with them as reasonably requested in the carrying on or
defense of any such proceedings. All proceeds of condemnation
awards or proceeds of sale in lieu of condemnation with respect to
the Property and all judgments, decrees and awards for injury or
damage to the Property will be paid to BNPPLC as Escrowed Proceeds,
and all such proceeds will be applied as provided in Paragraph 5.
BNPPLC is hereby authorized, in its own name or in the name of NAI
or in the name of both, to settle and deliver valid acquittances
for, or to challenge and to appeal from, any such judgment, decree
or award concerning condemnation of any of the Property (provided,
that so long as no 97-10/Event has occurred and no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, BNPPLC must provide NAI with at
least forty-five days notice of BNPPLC’s intention to settle
any such claim before settling it unless NAI has already approved
of the settlement by BNPPLC). BNPPLC will not in any event or
circumstances be liable or responsible for failure to collect, or
to exercise diligence in the collection of, any such proceeds,
judgments, decrees or awards.

Additional Representations, Warranties and Covenants of NAI
Concerning the Property . Without limiting the rights granted
to NAI by other provisions of this Agreement to be reimbursed from
Construction Advances for the cost of complying with the following,
NAI represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
(1) Payment of
Local Impositions . Throughout the period prior to any
Termination of NAI’s Work, NAI must pay or cause to be paid
prior to delinquency all ad valorem taxes assessed against the
Property and other Local Impositions. If requested by BNPPLC from
time to time, NAI will furnish BNPPLC with receipts or other
appropriate evidence showing payment of all Local Impositions prior
to the applicable delinquency date therefor.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, NAI may in good faith, by appropriate proceedings,
contest the validity, applicability or amount of any asserted Local
Imposition, and pending such contest NAI will not be deemed in
default under any of the provisions of this Agreement because of
the Local Imposition if (1) NAI diligently prosecutes such
contest to completion in a manner reasonably satisfactory to
BNPPLC, and (2) NAI promptly causes to be paid any amount
adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due, with all
costs, penalties and interest thereon, promptly after such judgment
becomes final; provided, however, in any event each such contest
must be concluded and the contested Local Impositions must be paid
by NAI prior to the earlier of (i) the date that any criminal
prosecution is instituted or overtly threatened against BNPPLC or
its directors, officers or employees because of the nonpayment
thereof, or (ii) the date any writ or order is issued under
which any property owned or leased by BNPPLC (including the
Property) may be seized or sold or any other action is taken or
overtly threatened against BNPPLC or against any property owned or
leased by BNPPLC because of the nonpayment thereof, or
(iii) any Designated Sale Date upon which, for any reason, NAI
or an Affiliate of NAI or any Applicable Purchaser does not
purchase BNPPLC’s interest in the Property pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement for a price to BNPPLC (when taken together with
any Supplemental Payment paid by NAI pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, in the case of a purchase by an Applicable Purchaser)
equal to the Break Even Price.
(2) Operation
and Maintenance . Throughout the period prior to any
Termination of NAI’s Work, NAI must operate and maintain the
Property in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with
Applicable Laws in all material respects and pay or cause to be
paid all fees or charges of any kind in connection therewith. (If
NAI does not promptly correct any failure of the Property to comply
with Applicable Laws that is the subject of a written complaint or
demand for corrective action given by any Governmental Authority to
NAI, or to BNPPLC and forwarded by it to NAI, then for purposes of
the preceding sentence, NAI will be considered not to have
maintained the
Construction Management Agreement
— Page 19
Property
“in compliance with all Applicable Laws in all material
respects” whether or not the noncompliance would be material
in the absence of the complaint or demand.) NAI must not use or
occupy, or allow the use or occupancy of, the Property in any
manner which violates any Applicable Law or which constitutes a
public or private nuisance or which makes void, voidable or
cancelable any insurance then in force with respect thereto.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, NAI must not
conduct or permit others to conduct Hazardous Substance Activities
on the Property, except Permitted Hazardous Substance Use and
Remedial Work; and NAI must not discharge or permit the discharge
of anything (including Permitted Hazardous Substances) on or from
the Property that would require any permit under applicable
Environmental Laws, other than (1) storm water runoff,
(2) fume hood emissions, (3) waste water discharges
through a publicly owned treatment works, (4) discharges that
are a necessary part of any Remedial Work, and (5) other
similar discharges consistent with the definition herein of
Permitted Hazardous Substance Use which do not significantly
increase the risk of Environmental Losses to BNPPLC, in each case
in strict compliance with Environmental Laws. To the extent that
any of the following would, individually or in the aggregate,
increase the likelihood of a 97-10/Event or materially and
adversely affect the value of the Property or the use of the
Property for purposes permitted by this Agreement, NAI must not,
without BNPPLC’s prior consent: (i) initiate or permit
any zoning reclassification of the Property; (ii) seek any
variance under existing zoning ordinances applicable to the
Property; (iii) use or permit the use of the Property in a
manner that would result in such use becoming a nonconforming use
under applicable zoning ordinances or similar laws, rules or
regulations; (iv) execute or file any subdivision plat
affecting the Property; or (v) consent to the annexation of
the Property to any municipality. NAI will not cause or permit any
drilling or exploration for, or extraction, removal or production
of, minerals from the surface or subsurface of the Property, and
NAI must not do anything that could reasonably be expected to
significantly reduce the market value of the Property. If NAI
receives a notice or claim from any federal, state or other
governmental authority that the Property is not in compliance with
any Applicable Law, or that any action may be taken against BNPPLC
because the Property does not comply with any Applicable Law, NAI
must promptly furnish a copy of such notice or claim to
BNPPLC.
(3) Debts for
Construction, Maintenance, Operation or Development . NAI must
promptly pay or cause to be paid all debts and liabilities incurred
it or its contractors or subcontractors in the construction,
maintenance, operation or development of the Property. Such debts
and liabilities will include those incurred for labor, material and
equipment and all debts and charges for utilities servicing the
Property.
(4) Permitted
Encumbrances and the Ground Lease . NAI must comply with and
will cause to be performed all of the covenants, agreements and
obligations imposed upon the owner of any interest in the Property
by the Permitted Encumbrances or the
Construction Management Agreement
— Page 20
Ground Lease
throughout the period prior to any Termination of NAI’s Work.
NAI must not, without the prior consent of BNPPLC, create any new
Permitted Encumbrance or enter into, initiate, approve or consent
to any modification of any Permitted Encumbrance that would create
or expand or purport to create or expand obligations or
restrictions encumbering BNPPLC’s interest in the Property.
(Whether BNPPLC must give any such consent requested by NAI prior
to the Completion Date will be governed by subparagraph 4(C)
of the Closing Certificate.)
(5) Books and
Records Concerning the Property . NAI must keep books and
records that are accurate and complete in all material respects for
NAI’s construction and management of the Property as
contemplated in this Agreement and must permit all such books and
records (including all contracts, statements, invoices, bills and
claims for labor, materials and services supplied for the
construction and operation of any Improvements) to be inspected and
copied by BNPPLC.
(G)
BNPPLC’s Right of Access .
(1) Access
Generally . BNPPLC and BNPPLC’s representatives may enter
the Property at any time for the purpose of making inspections or
performing any work BNPPLC is authorized to undertake by the next
subparagraph or for the purpose confirming whether NAI has complied
with the requirements of this Agreement or the other Operative
Documents. However, prior to any Termination of NAI’s Work,
BNPPLC or BNPPLC’s representative will, before making any
entry upon the Property or performing any work on the Property
authorized by this Agreement, do the following
(2) BNPPLC will
give NAI at least 24 hours notice, unless BNPPLC believes in good
faith that an emergency may exist or a Default has occurred and is
continuing, because of which significant damage to the Property or
other significant Losses may be sustained if BNPPLC delays entry to
the Property; and
(3) if then
requested to do so by NAI in order to maintain NAI’s
security, BNPPLC or its representative will: (i) sign in at
NAI’s security or information desk if NAI has such a desk on
the premises, (ii) wear a visitor’s badge or other
reasonable identification, (iii) permit an employee of NAI to
observe such inspection or work, and (iv) comply with other
similar reasonable nondiscriminatory security requirements of NAI
that do not, individually or in the aggregate, significantly
interfere with inspections or work of BNPPLC authorized by this
Agreement.
(4) Failure of
NAI to Perform . If NAI fails to perform any act or to take any
action required of it by this Agreement or other Operative
Documents, or to pay any money which NAI is required by this
Agreement or other Operative Documents to pay,
Construction Management Agreement
— Page 21
and if such
failure or action constitutes an Event of Default or renders BNPPLC
or any director, officer, employee or Affiliate of BNPPLC at risk
of criminal prosecution or renders BNPPLC’s interest in the
Property or any part thereof at risk of forfeiture by forced sale
or otherwise, then in addition to any other remedies specified
herein or otherwise available, BNPPLC may, perform or cause to be
performed such act or take such action or pay such money. (To the
extent that expenses so incurred by BNPPLC, and money so paid by
BNPPLC, qualify as a Covered Construction Period Losses, NAI must
pay the same to BNPPLC upon demand. If any such expenses incurred
or money paid do not qualify as Covered Construction Period Losses,
but do constitute 97-10/Project Costs, BNPPLC may treat them as
Construction Advances hereunder. To the extent that any such
expenses incurred or money paid do not qualify as Covered
Construction Period Losses and do constitute 97-10/Project Costs,
they will be included — with interest — in the Balance
of Unpaid Covered Construction Period Losses under and as defined
in the Purchase Agreement.) Further, BNPPLC, upon making such
payment, will be subrogated to all of the rights of the person,
corporation or body politic receiving such payment. But nothing
herein will imply any duty upon the part of BNPPLC to do any work
which, under any provision of this Agreement or otherwise, NAI may
be required to perform, and the performance thereof by BNPPLC will
not constitute a waiver of NAI’s default. BNPPLC may during
the progress of any such work permitted by BNPPLC hereunder on or
in the Property keep and store upon the Property all necessary
materials, tools, and equipment. BNPPLC will not in any event be
liable for inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss of business,
or other damage to NAI or the subtenants or invitees of NAI by
reason of BNPPLC’s performance of any such work, or on
account of bringing materials, supplies and equipment into or
through the Property during the course of such work, and the
obligations of NAI under this Agreement and the other Operative
Documents will not thereby be excused in any manner.
