not approved, certified or verified as provided in Section 2.02,
any Soft Costs covered by a previous Requisition for which any
requested proof of payment has not been received by Administrative
Agent, and/or any Hard Costs covered by a previous Requisition for
which any requested Payment Receipts/Lien Releases have not been
received by Administrative Agent and the Construction
Consultant.
Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan only for
the payment of approved Hard and Soft Costs in accordance with the
Construction Cost Statement and this Agreement. In no event shall
proceeds of the Loan be used by Borrower, in whole or in part, for
the purpose of purchasing or carrying "margin stock", as such
quoted term is defined in Regulation U, or in violation of
Regulation U or for any illegal purpose.

Certification and Verification of Costs.
|
• Hard Costs are to be certified by the
Construction Manager or Borrower's supervisor of construction if
there is no Construction Manager. Verification of the monthly
progress and Hard Costs which have been incurred by Borrower from
time to time, and the estimated total Hard Costs, shall be
reasonably determined by the Construction Consultant, except that
both Hard and Soft Costs are also subject to the reasonable
approval and verification by Administrative Agent from time to
time. No advances shall be made in respect of any Trade Contractor
providing work or materials with respect to the Improvements unless
such Trade Contractor is providing such work or materials under a
signed Trade Contract, a copy of which has been delivered to
Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent has received any
required will serve letter with respect thereto.
• Each Requisition relating to Hard Costs
shall be accompanied by a certificate or report of the Construction
Consultant to Administrative Agent based upon a site observation of
the Improvements made by the Construction Consultant not more than
thirty (30) days prior to the date of the advance, in which the
Construction Consultant shall in substance: (i) for the initial
advance of Hard Costs for the Improvements only, indicate its
review and acceptance of the Plans and Specifications; (ii) verify
that the portion of the Improvements completed as of the date of
such site observation have been completed substantially in
accordance with the Plans and Specifications; and (iii) state its
estimate of (1) the percentages of the construction of the
Improvements completed as of the date of such site observation on
the basis of work in place as part of the Improvements and the
values set forth in the Construction Cost Statement, (2) the Hard
Costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the
Improvements as of the date of such site observation, (3) the sum
necessary to complete construction of the Improvements in
accordance with the Plans and Specifications and (4) the amount of
time from the date of such inspection that will be required to
achieve completion of the Improvements.
• Borrower acknowledges that (i) the
Construction Consultant has been retained by Administrative Agent,
on behalf of Lenders, to act as a consultant and only as a
consultant to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, in
connection with the construction of the Improvements and has no
duty to Borrower; (ii) the Construction Consultant shall in no
event or under any circumstance have any power or authority to make
any decision or to give any approval or consent or to do any other
act or thing which is binding upon Administrative Agent or any of
Lenders, and any such purported decision, approval, consent, act or
thing by the Construction Consultant on behalf of Administrative
Agent or any of Lenders shall be void and of no force or effect;
(iii) Administrative Agent reserves the right to make any and all
decisions required to be made by Administrative Agent under this
Agreement and to give or refrain from giving any and all consents
or approvals required to be given by Administrative Agent under
this Agreement and to accept or not accept any matter or thing
required to be accepted by Administrative Agent under this
Agreement, without being bound or limited in any manner or under
any circumstances whatsoever by any opinion expressed or not
expressed, or any advice given or not given, or any information,
certificate or report provided or not provided, by the Construction
Consultant to Administrative Agent or any other Person with respect
thereto; (iv) Administrative Agent reserves the right in its sole
and absolute discretion to disregard or disagree, in whole or in
part, with any opinion expressed, advice given or information,
certificate or report furnished or provided by the Construction
Consultant to Administrative Agent or to any other Person; and (v)
Administrative Agent reserves the right in its sole and absolute
discretion to replace the Construction Consultant with Valcon
Construction Consultants, Inc. ("Valcon"), or if Valcon is not
available, another reputable construction consultant experienced in
construction projects of this type, at any time and without
approval by or prior (but with subsequent prompt) notice to
Borrower.
• Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided
no Event of Default exists, up to $2,000,000 at any time shall be
available for funding from the budget for Hard Costs, at Borrower's
request, for which the work may not be in place and for
which Administrative Agent shall not have received
lien waivers or invoices, to be available for Construction Manager
to pay Hard Costs during a month.
Procedures for Advances .
All advances to Borrower are to be made at
Administrative Agent's Office. Borrower shall submit Requisitions
to Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on
the date which is eight (8) Business Days prior to the date the
advance is to be made. Administrative Agent may reject any
Requisition that is not signed by an Authorized Representative.
Administrative Agent, no later than three (3) Business Days prior
to the date a requested advance is to be made, shall (i) notify
each Lender either by telephone or by facsimile of the amount
requested by Borrower, the amount approved by Administrative Agent,
the portion of such advance to be funded by such Lender and the
proposed date of such advance and (ii) send to each Lender by
facsimile the summary pages of Borrower's Requisition (without
attachments except for Borrower's Requisition Spreadsheet). Not
later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of each advance,
each Lender shall, through its Applicable Lending Office and
subject to the conditions of this Agreement, make the amount to be
advanced by it on such day available to Administrative Agent, at
Administrative Agent's Office and in immediately available funds.
The amount so received by Administrative Agent shall by 3:00 p.m.
(New York time) on the same Business Day, subject to the conditions
of this Agreement, be made available to Borrower, by Administrative
Agent's depositing said amount by wire transfer of immediately
available funds into the Building Loan Trust Account, which shall
be subject to immediate withdrawal by Borrower. Subsequent to the
making of an advance, Administrative Agent shall deliver to a
Lender, within eight (8) Business Days of such Lender's request,
such material relating to the Requisition for such advance as such
Lender may reasonably request. If Borrower withdraws any
Requisition submitted as contemplated above, Borrower shall pay, in
addition to any amounts set forth in Section 3.03, promptly
following demand therefor, all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by Lenders, Administrative Agent and by the Construction
Consultant in connection with reviewing such Requisition in
contemplation of an advance.
Borrower agrees that, by its acceptance of any
advance of Loan proceeds under this Agreement, it shall be bound in
all respects by the Requisition submitted on its behalf in
connection therewith with the same force and effect as if Borrower
had itself executed and submitted the Requisition and whether or
not the Requisition is executed and/or submitted by an Authorized
Representative.
Held-Back Amounts; Advances for Soft Costs After
Completion .
The portion of Retainage that relates to work or
materials supplied by any Trade Contractor in connection with the
Improvements will upon request be disbursed to Borrower when (but
will not be disbursed to Borrower until and unless), whether before
or after the completion of the Improvements, (i) no Event of
Default or material Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii)
the Construction Consultant verifies to Administrative Agent that
such Trade Contractor has completed 100% of its work for the
Improvements not less than thirty (30) days prior to the release of
such portion of Retainage and has supplied 100% of all materials in
compliance with such Trade Contractor's Trade Contract and in
conformity with the Plans and Specifications; (iii) such Trade
Contractor will be paid in full for its work on the Improvements
upon the release of such portion of the Retainage; (iv) such Trade
Contractor executes and delivers all lien waivers that may be
reasonably requested or required by Administrative Agent or by the
Title Insurer to induce the Title Insurer to insure the lien of the
Mortgage against any mechanic's or materialman's lien that may be
filed against the Premises by such Trade Contractor or any Person
claiming through such Trade Contractor; and (v) if required by
Administrative Agent, such release of such portion of the Retainage
shall be approved by any surety company that has issued a payment
or performance bond with respect to such Trade Contractor. Any
remaining Retainage not advanced to Borrower pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section shall be advanced in full upon
the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.03. Loan
Budget Amounts for Soft Costs not advanced prior to substantial
completion of construction of the Improvements shall be advanced
until exhausted, not more frequently than monthly, for Soft Costs
as incurred after such completion.
Stored Materials.
Lenders shall in no event or under any circumstances
have any obligation to make any disbursement of the Loan for
materials which are stored off-site (other than Major Building
Materials as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section)
unless Administrative Agent agrees to the contrary
in its sole and absolute discretion.
Lenders shall make Loan disbursements in accordance
with this Agreement to pay for Hard Costs actually incurred by
Borrower for materials not yet incorporated in the Improvements but
stored on the Premises, which materials are required in connection
with the construction of the Improvements, provided that (i) such
materials are in accordance with the Plans and Specifications; (ii)
such materials are securely stored on the Premises,
properly inventoried, and clearly stenciled or
otherwise marked to indicate that they are the property of
Borrower; (iii) the bills of sale and contracts under which such
materials are being provided shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the
Construction Consultant; (iv) such materials are insured against
casualty, loss and theft in a manner reasonably satisfactory to
Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent is named as a named
insured and loss payee on such insurance policy with respect to
said materials; (v) Borrower either owns or will, after the payment
of the bills and invoices therefor (which payment in full shall
occur promptly after the disbursement of the Loan for such
materials), own such materials free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances of any nature whatsoever, which ownership shall be
established contemporaneously with or promptly after such
disbursement by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative
Agent; (vi) Borrower executes and delivers to Administrative Agent
such additional security documents as Administrative Agent shall
deem necessary to create and perfect a first lien in such materials
as additional security for the payment of the Loan; (vii) the
aggregate amount of such disbursements for such materials shall in
no event at any time exceed $2,500,000 as verified by the
Construction Consultant pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement; (viii) all materials are reasonably anticipated to be
incorporated into the Improvements within one hundred twenty (120)
days of the disbursement therefor; and (ix) if required by
Administrative Agent, Borrower's Architects or the Construction
Consultant shall certify that it has inspected said materials and
they are in good condition and suitable for use in connection with
the Improvements.
• Lenders shall from time to time make
disbursements in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for
the purchase of (or for deposits in connection with the ordering
thereof reasonably approved by Administrative Agent) certain
finally assembled, fully fabricated (except as otherwise provided
in the parenthetical at the end of this sentence) major building
materials (collectively, "Major Building Materials"), which are
required in connection with construction of the Improvements but
are stored at locations other than the Premises, prior to the
delivery to the Premises or incorporation into the Improvements of
such Major Building Materials and are in accordance with the Plans
and Specifications; provided
, however
, that
in the case of each such disbursement (other than
those made in respect of a deposit or installment payment), the
conditions contained in paragraph (b) of this Section have been
satisfied with respect to such Major Building Materials, other than
the requirement of clause (ii) contained therein with respect to
the storage of such materials on the Premises, and Administrative
Agent shall have received (A) a written statement from the
manufacturer or storer of such Major Building Materials (or a
provision in the purchase order therefor to such effect) that
Administrative Agent, the Construction Consultant and either of
their agents may fully inspect such Major Building Materials at all
reasonable times on reasonable notice and (B) evidence that the
aggregate amount of such disbursements for Major Building Materials
not yet incorporated into the Improvements does not at any time
exceed $30,000,000 (except that, at any time, up to $10,000,000 of
such $30,000,000 shall be available for building materials which
are in the course of being fabricated). Administrative Agent shall
have the right in its sole discretion, but not the obligation, to
request that Borrower deliver or cause to be delivered to
Administrative Agent the following documents within five (5)
Business Days after the date on which any advance for Major
Building Materials is made: (i) bills of lading, warehouse
receipts, delivery receipts or other documents of title with
respect to Major Building Materials for which such advance is made,
which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Administrative Agent in all respects; (ii) except in respect of an
advance in respect of building materials which are in the course of
being fabricated and/or pursuant to the last sentence of this
Section 2.05(c), a statement from the seller of such Major Building
Materials to the effect that title thereto has passed to Borrower
outright, subject only to Administrative Agent's lien thereon and
security interest therein for the benefit of Lenders, and that no
lien or security interest has or will be filed or claimed by the
seller in connection therewith, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Administrative Agent in all respects; and (iii)
except in respect of an advance in respect of building materials
which are in the course of being fabricated and/or pursuant to the
last sentence of this Section 2.05(c), a certificate of Borrower in
form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent in all
respects to the effect that such Major Building Materials are owned
by Borrower outright, free and clear of all liens, security
interest and encumbrances, other than liens and security interests
in favor of Administrative Agent, and that all of the terms of this
paragraph (c) have been complied with. No advance for Major
Building Materials shall be made unless the Major Building
Materials covered thereby are stored at a location, other than the
Premises, reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and the
Construction Consultant, and, unless then being fabricated, are (i)
stored in a designated and secure area of a bonded or insured
warehouse, conspicuously marked to show that they are the subject
of a security interest by Administrative Agent and said Major
Building Materials will not be moved except in connection with
their delivery to the Premises, the supplier's storage yard or to
another bonded or insured warehouse; (ii) effectively segregated
(to the extent reasonably possible) from all other materials of
whatever kind located at the off-site location in question; and
(iii) reasonably anticipated to be incorporated into the
Improvements within two hundred seventy (270) days of the advance
therefor. Once fabrication of any Major Building Materials has been
completed, the foregoing provisions shall apply. In connection with
any advance in respect of a deposit for the ordering of, or
installment payment (other than the final installment) in respect
of, Major Building Materials, the foregoing conditions shall not
apply and the only condition to such advance shall be that
Administrative Agent shall have received a copy of the executed
agreement between Borrower and the manufacturer thereof which shall
contain a description of the Major Building Materials, the contract
price and anticipated delivery date.
• Disbursements for all stored materials,
whether or not stored on the Premises or in respect of deposits or
building materials which are in fabrication, shall not exceed at
any one time $32,500,000.
There shall be no advances of the Loan Budget
Amounts for "Contingency" unless mutually agreed by Borrower and
Administrative Agent; provided
, however
, that, following such time as the Improvements have
been substantially completed, lien-free, Borrower shall be entitled
to advances of said Loan Budget Amounts to the extent it has
actually incurred and paid Hard or Soft Costs in respect of
completion of the Improvements from its own funds and in excess of
amounts advanced hereunder and has provided appropriate evidence of
such payment to Administrative Agent. This Section 2.06 shall not
affect reallocation of Contingency amounts in accordance with
Section 2.07.

•
|
Reallocation of Amounts on
Construction Cost Statement.
|
• Subject to the prior approval of
Administrative Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, Borrower may revise the Construction Cost
Statement from time to time to reallocate amounts available under
the Hard Costs Loan Budget Amount denominated
"Contingency" to other Hard Costs Loan Budget Amounts, and/or to
reallocate amounts available under the Soft Costs Loan Budget
Amount denominated "Contingency" to other Soft Costs
Loan Budget Amounts.
• If there are savings in a particular
Loan Budget Amount, and if such savings are substantiated by
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, Borrower
shall have the right, upon the prior approval of Administrative
Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, to reallocate such savings to another Loan
Budget Amount with respect to which additional costs have been or
may be incurred; provided
, however
, that
Borrower shall in no event or under any
circumstances have the right to reallocate any portion of the Loan
Budget Amount for "Interest on Loan", or to reallocate any savings
in a Hard Costs Loan Budget Amount to other than another Hard Costs
Loan Budget Amount, without in each instance obtaining the prior
approval of Administrative Agent, which approval may be withheld in
the sole and absolute discretion of Administrative Agent, or to
cause a reallocation to occur that in the reasonable opinion of
Administrative Agent, its counsel or the Title Insurer will be in
contravention of the Lien Law, or that in the reasonable opinion of
Administrative Agent, its counsel or the Title Insurer will
adversely affect or impair in any manner whatsoever the lien or the
priority of the lien of the Mortgage.
Certain Limitations on Advances
.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, Lenders shall have no obligation to advance any portion of
the Loan Budget Amount, if any, for (a) "Tenant Work" unless
Administrative Agent shall have received and approved (for the
avoidance of doubt, subject to the approval or deemed approval
guidelines provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) copies,
certified to be true and complete, of the leases for space in the
Improvements to which such tenant work relates and (b) "Interest on
Loan" if, when and to the extent that Administrative Agent, in its
reasonable judgment, determines that the Improvements are
generating, on a cash basis, positive cash flow in excess of
Borrower's other expenses regarding the Premises and/or
Improvements (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include any
amounts disbursed therefor from any reserve accounts pursuant to
the Lockbox Agreement).
Nature of Lenders' Obligations; Borrower's Rights
and Obligations in Event a Lender Fails to Make an
Advance .
The obligations of Lenders under this Agreement are
several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Lender to fund the portion required to be funded by such
other Lender of an advance of the Loan. In cases where a Delinquent
Lender fails to fund the portion required to be funded by it of an
advance and (x) none of the other Lenders elects to be an Electing
Lender pursuant to Section 7.16 and to fund the Delinquent Lender's
share of the advance and (y) Borrower is unable to procure a
Replacement Lender in accordance with Section 7.20, the obligation
of the Non-Delinquent Lenders to fund their respective portions of
such advance and each subsequent advance shall be conditioned on
(i) Borrower's or Guarantor's committing in writing to Lenders,
prior to any such advance, that it will fund the entire Delinquency
Amount and (ii) Borrower's submitting reasonably satisfactory
evidence to Administrative Agent, at the time of each advance, that
Borrower and/or Guarantor have paid, from their own funds, a
portion of the Hard and Soft Costs that are the subject of such
advance in an amount equal to the Delinquent Lender's portion of
such advance.
Notes .
The Loan shall be evidenced by notes of Borrower in
the form of Exhibit E
, duly completed and executed by Borrower (one for
each Lender in an amount equal to such Lender's Individual Loan
Commitment, payable for the account of such Lender's Applicable
Lending Office), in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Loan
Amount (such notes, as the same may hereafter be amended, modified,
extended, severed, assigned, substituted, renewed or restated from
time to time (including, without limitation, any substitute notes
pursuant to Section 3.05, 7.16, 7.20 or 8.13), each, a "Note" and
collectively, the "Notes"). The Notes shall mature, and all
outstanding principal and other sums thereunder shall be paid in
full, on the Maturity Date, as the same may be accelerated or,
pursuant to and in accordance with, Section 9.04 of this Agreement,
extended.
In case of any loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of any Lender's Note, Borrower shall, upon its receipt
of an affidavit of an officer of such Lender as to such loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation and an appropriate
indemnification, execute and deliver a replacement Note to such
Lender in the same principal amount and otherwise of like tenor as
the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.
Payments and Distributions; Certain Consequences
of Delinquent Lender Status
Borrower shall make each payment under this
Agreement and under the Notes not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York
time) on the date when due to Administrative Agent at
Administrative Agent's Office in immediately available funds.
Administrative Agent will thereafter, on the day of its receipt of
each such payment, cause to be distributed to each Lender such
Lender's appropriate share (based upon the respective outstanding
principal amounts of the Notes and the respective rates of interest
thereunder) of the payments of principal and interest, and its
appropriate share of the payments of other sums, in like funds for
the account of such Lender's Applicable Lending Office. Payments by
Borrower hereunder or under the Notes or other Loan Documents shall
be made without setoff or counterclaim, it being understood that,
unless Borrower and Administrative Agent have received valid
certificates which evidence such Lender's exemption from
withholding tax as set forth in Section 7.13, Borrower and
Administrative Agent are permitted to withhold any tax, as required
by Law.
Except to the extent otherwise provided in this
Agreement, whenever any payment to be made under this Agreement or
under the Notes is due on any day other than a Business Day, such
payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation
of the payment of interest and, if applicable, fees, as the case
may be.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section, (i) Administrative Agent shall make no payment to a
Delinquent Lender until the Non-Delinquent Lenders have been paid
in full all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and
any other sums owing to them under the Loan Documents, it being
understood that payments of interest on account of the outstanding
principal amount of the Note held by the Delinquent Lender shall be
held by Administrative Agent in a non-interest bearing account and
not distributed to the Delinquent Lender until such time as all
principal, interest and other sums due to the Non-Delinquent
Lenders have been paid in full; (ii) any payments (other than
interest, as provided in clause (i) above) which would otherwise be
due a Delinquent Lender shall be distributed to the Non-Delinquent
Lenders until such time as all principal, interest and other sums
due to the Non-Delinquent Lenders have been paid in full (except
that any such amounts otherwise due a Delinquent Lender received by
Administrative Agent during an Election Period shall be retained by
Administrative Agent until the expiration of the Election Period
and either paid to the Delinquent Lender, if the delinquency is
cured, or paid to the Non-Delinquent Lenders, if the delinquency is
not cured); and (iii) Administrative Agent shall deduct, from
amounts due (or, in the case of a Delinquent Lender, amounts that
would otherwise be payable to such Delinquent Lender being held by
Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (i) above) a Lender in
default under its obligations under Section 7.05, the amount owing
by such Lender pursuant to said Section 7.05 and pay the amount so
deducted to itself, the other Lenders, or such other party as is
entitled to such amount, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the taking of the
actions by Administrative Agent as contemplated above or pursuant
to the terms and provisions of Section 7.16(a) shall not result in
Borrower being obligated to pay to a Delinquent Lender any more
than would otherwise be payable to any such Delinquent Lender in
the absence of such actions by Administrative Agent.
Except as provided above in this Section and in
Section 7.16, each Lender's interest in the Loan shall be of equal
priority with the interest of each other Lender.
Interest .
Borrower shall pay interest to Administrative Agent
for the account of Lenders on the Principal Amount, at a rate per
annum as follows: for Base Rate Loans at a rate equal to the Base
Rate plus the Base Rate Margin; and for LIBOR Loans at the rate set
forth in the definition of "LIBOR Loan" in Section 1.02. Any
principal amount not paid within five (5) Business Days
when due (when scheduled, at acceleration or
otherwise) shall bear interest thereafter, payable on demand, at
the Default Rate.
Interest (in the case of Base Rate Loans and LIBOR
Loans) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the
actual number of days elapsed in the Interest Period, provided that
the first day of the Interest Period shall be included and the last
day of said Interest Period shall be excluded. If an advance is
repaid on the same day on which it is made, one (1) day’s
interest shall be paid on such an advance as well as any amounts
payable pursuant to Section 3.03.
Interest, whether payable on a Base Rate Loan or a
LIBOR Loan, shall be payable monthly in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date. Interest at the Default Rate shall be payable on
demand.
Any change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds
Rate shall be automatically effective as of the day on which such
change in rate occurs.
Each determination of an interest rate by
Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement
shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower in the absence of
manifest error.
Elections, Conversions and Continuations of
Interest Rate .
Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement (including the provisions of Article III), Borrower shall
have the option to have Principal Amount bear interest as Base Rate
Loans or LIBOR Loans, as follows:
• Borrower may elect pursuant to a Rate
Request to have all or any portion of an advance of the Loan be
Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans;
• Borrower may elect pursuant to a Rate
Request to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Base Rate
Loans to LIBOR Loans, provided that no such conversion shall be
permitted: (i) when any Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing and Administrative Agent has determined that such
a conversion is not appropriate; or (ii) after the date that is one
(1) month prior to the Maturity Date;
• Borrower may elect pursuant to a Rate
Request to convert all or any portion of the outstanding LIBOR
Loans to Base Rate Loans; and
• Any LIBOR Loan may be continued upon
the expiration date of its then current Interest Period by Borrower
pursuant to a Rate Request, provided that no LIBOR Loan may be
continued: (i) when any Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing and Administrative Agent has determined that such
a continuation is not appropriate; or (ii) after the date that is
one (1) month prior to the Maturity Date.
If Borrower fails to submit a Rate Request with
respect to the conversion or continuation of an existing LIBOR Loan
to Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement by 11:00 a.m. New York time three (3) Business Days prior
to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, Administrative
Agent reserves the right either to convert the outstanding LIBOR
Loan to a Base Rate Loan or to continue the outstanding LIBOR Loan
automatically as a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of one (1)
month (unless such Interest Period would expire after the Maturity
Date, in which case the outstanding LIBOR Loan shall automatically
be converted to a Base Rate Loan).
Administrative Agent shall, upon its receipt of each
Rate Request from Borrower (and upon its decision to convert or
continue a LIBOR Loan pursuant to the immediately preceding
paragraph), promptly notify each Lender either by telephone or by
facsimile of the specified amount thereof and the amount of
Lender's portion thereof, the Interest Period and date of
commencement thereof, and the applicable interest rate.
Each Rate Request shall be applicable to the Notes
in accordance with Lenders' respective Pro Rata Shares, so that,
barring a conversion or suspension of LIBOR Loans by one or more,
but not all, Lenders, pursuant to Article III, the outstanding
principal amounts of each of the Notes shall contain segments
representing Base Rate Loans and/or LIBOR Loans, each of which
segments shall correspond to a proportional segment of the
outstanding principal amount of every other Note. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if a Lender shall fail to fund the portion it is
required to fund of any advance of the Loan and an Electing Lender
shall commit to fund the Delinquency Amount pursuant to Section
7.16, then from and after the time of the first disbursement of the
Delinquency Amount by the Electing Lender, (i) in the case of a
Rate Request with respect to an advance, such Rate Request shall be
applicable to the Notes in accordance with the respective portions
of such advance made by Lenders; (ii) in the case of a Rate Request
with respect to the conversion of Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans,
such Rate Request shall be applicable to the Notes ratably in
accordance with the amounts of the Base Rate Loans of the
respective Lenders; and (iii) in the case of a Rate Request with
respect to the conversion or continuation of existing LIBOR
Loans
having the same Interest Period, such Rate Request
shall be applicable ratably to all LIBOR Loans having such Interest
Period.
Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of
Tranches .
With regard to the Total Loan as a whole, all
elections, conversions and continuations of LIBOR Loans or Base
Rate Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $250,000, except in the
case of the last advance of the Loan. Borrower shall not have the
right to have more than five (5) distinct Interest Periods, in the
aggregate, in respect of LIBOR Loans in effect at any one time,
whether or not there are any outstanding Base Rate Loans at the
time.
Inapplicability of LIBOR Loans
.
Any portion of the Principal Amount that is not
bearing interest as, or cannot pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement bear interest as, a LIBOR Loan shall bear interest as a
Base Rate Loan.
Late Payment Premium .
Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the
account of Lenders, a late payment premium in the amount of 5% of
any payments of regular principal, interest, fees or other amounts
payable under the Loan Documents made more than five (5) Business
Days after the due date thereof, which late payment premium shall
be due with any such late payment. The late payment premium is to
cover administrative and related expenses incurred in handling
delinquent payments.
The acceptance of a late payment premium shall not,
except if it cures the Default or Event of Default, as applicable,
constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default then
existing or thereafter arising. Further, Administrative Agent's
failure to collect a late payment premium at any time shall not
constitute a waiver of Administrative Agent's or Lenders' right
thereafter, at any time and from time to time (including, without
limitation, upon acceleration of the Notes or upon payment in full
of the Loan), to collect such previously uncollected late payment
premiums or to collect subsequently accruing late payment
premiums.
Voluntary Prepayments .
Borrower, on not less than ten (10) Business Days'
prior notice to Administrative Agent, may prepay the Principal
Amount, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, provided
that Borrower gives a notice of such prepayment which shall
specify: (i) the date and amount of the prepayment; (ii) whether
the prepayment is of LIBOR Loans, Base Rate Loans or a combination
thereof, and, if a combination thereof, the amount allocable to
each; and (iii) in the case of prepayment of LIBOR Loans, the
expiration date of the applicable Interest Period. Prepayment of
all or any portion of the Principal Amount may be made in
accordance with this Section provided that: (i) the principal
amount prepaid is not less than $1,000,000, unless the prepayment
would result in the prepayment of the Loan in full; (ii) all
accrued and unpaid interest to and including the date of such
prepayment on the amount being prepaid is then paid; and (iii) any
amounts payable pursuant to Article III, to the extent then due,
are then paid. Any such notice of prepayment may be withdrawn by
Borrower in a notice to Administrative Agent on or prior to the
date on which such prepayment was to occur, so long as, in
connection with such withdrawal, all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the
withdrawn notice of prepayment and any amounts owed pursuant to
Article III, if any, are paid simultaneously with such withdrawal
or, if later, promptly following being presented with a statement
therefor from Administrative Agent or any Lenders. Amounts prepaid
may not be reborrowed. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, none of the payments made pursuant to this Section
2.17 shall be duplicative of any payments required to be made
pursuant to Section 3.03 of this Agreement. Administrative Agent
and Lenders acknowledge the terms and provisions of Section 3.14 of
the Mortgage and agree to perform the actions and undertakings
imposed on Administrative Agent and Lenders in such
Section.

Acceleration of Advances .
|
• Lenders may, in their absolute
discretion, advance or accelerate the advance of all or any portion
of the amounts to be advanced hereunder without regard to
Borrower's satisfaction of the conditions to its entitlement to
Loan proceeds and no Person dealing with Borrower or the
Construction Manager or any other Person shall have standing to
demand any different performance from Lenders, provided, however,
that if Borrower chooses to deposit with each Lender such Lender's
Pro Rata Share of the amount of any Loan advances in excess of the
amount which Borrower would be entitled
to pursuant to Section 2.01, Lenders shall give
Borrower a credit against the interest due on the Notes equal to
the interest which would accrue on the amount so deposited as if
such amount deposited bore interest at the interest rate that would
be applicable thereto under the Notes.
• CONTRACTORS, SUBCONTRACTORS, LABORERS,
MATERIALMEN and SUPPLIERS are cautioned that if Loan advances are
made under the alternative set forth in paragraph (a) above,
proceeds of the Loan remaining to be advanced at the time of the
completion of the Improvements, or any time prior thereto, may be
inadequate to pay all lienable claims incurred by Borrower and
unpaid at that time. All potential lienors are therefore cautioned
to exercise sound business judgment in the extension of credit to
Borrower and should not expect Lenders to make Loan advances in
such amounts and at such times that it will not be necessary for
said parties to exercise such judgment for themselves. Moreover,
they are reminded that subdivision (3) of Section 13 of the Lien
Law provides that "Nothing in this subdivision shall be considered
as imposing upon the lender any obligation to see to the proper
application of such advances by the owner," and Lenders have no
intention of voluntarily imposing such obligation on
themselves.
LIBOR Margin Reduction .
Provided there exists no Event of Default, monetary
Default or non-monetary material Default, at such time as (i)
tenants are in occupancy, have commenced paying base rent and are
open for business for not less than 90% of the net rentable square
feet in the Improvements pursuant to Leases which are Approved
Leases or have been approved or deemed approved by Administrative
Agent and (ii) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the immediately
preceding Measurement Period is at least 1.00 to 1.00, the LIBOR
Margin shall be reduced to 1.0% per annum.
ARTICLE III
YIELD MAINTENANCE ETC.
Additional Costs and Other Effects of Regulatory
Changes; Taxes .
Borrower shall pay directly to a Lender, promptly
upon demand, such amounts as are necessary to compensate such
Lender for Additional Costs resulting from any Regulatory Change,
without duplication for payments made in respect of Non-Excluded
Taxes pursuant to Section 8.25, which (i) subjects such Lender to
any tax, duty or other charge with respect to the Loan or its Note,
or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such
Lender under the Loan or its Note (other than taxes (including
branch profit taxes) imposed on the overall net income of such
Lender or of its Applicable Lending Office by the jurisdiction in
which such Lender's principal office or such Applicable Lending
Office is located (or taxes imposed in lieu of income taxes) and
other than taxes described in Section 8.25 and taxes imposed by
reason of a failure by such Lender to provide Borrower with an
appropriate certification where providing such certification would
avoid imposition of such taxes), (ii) imposes, modifies or deems
applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements
relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any
deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender, (iii) imposes
on such Lender or, in the case of LIBOR Loans, on the London
interbank market, any other condition affecting the Loan or its
Note, or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or (iv)
imposes any capital adequacy requirements on such Lender by virtue
of the Loan or the Notes. Such Lender will notify Borrower (with a
copy to Administrative Agent) of any event occurring after the date
hereof which would entitle it to compensation pursuant to this
paragraph as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge
thereof and determines to request such compensation, and will use
reasonable efforts to mitigate such Additional Costs, including
designating a different Applicable Lending Office for those
portions of the Loan affected by such event if such designation
will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation
and will not, in such Lender's sole opinion, be disadvantageous to
it, provided that such Lender shall have no obligation to so
designate an Applicable Lending Office located in the United
States, provided, however, that, in order for any such notice to be
effective to impose on Borrower the obligation to pay any such
amount, such notice must be delivered by Lender in question within
thirty (30) days after such Lender should reasonably have been
aware of the event giving rise to its entitlement to
compensation.
Without limiting the effect of the immediately
preceding paragraph, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory
Change, (i) a Lender incurs Additional Costs based on or measured
by the excess above a specified level of the amount of (1) a
category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender which
includes deposits by reference to which the LIBO Rate is determined
as provided in this Agreement and/or (2) a category of extensions
of credit or other assets of such Lender which includes loans the
interest on which is determined on the basis of rates referred to
in the definition of "LIBO Rate" in Section 1.02, (ii) a Lender
becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of
liabilities or assets which it may hold or (iii) it shall be
unlawful or impossible for a Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR
Loan, then such Lender's obligation to
make or maintain a LIBOR Loan (and Borrower's right
to request the same) shall be suspended and such Lender shall give
notice thereof to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent)
and, upon the giving of such notice, interest payable on the
affected Note shall be converted to the rate for Base Rate Loans,
unless such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain its LIBOR Loan
(or any portion thereof) to the end of the current Interest
Period(s), at which time the interest rate on the affected Note
shall convert to the rate for Base Rate Loans. If subsequent to any
conversion to Base Rate Loans as provided above such Lender
determines that such Regulatory Change has ceased to be in effect,
such Lender will so notify Borrower (with a copy to Administrative
Agent), and Borrower may convert the affected Base Rate Loan to a
LIBOR Loan by submitting a Rate Request in respect thereof and
otherwise complying with the provisions of this Agreement with
respect thereto.
Determinations by each Lender of the existence or
effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making or
maintaining a LIBOR Loan, or on amounts receivable by it in respect
thereof, and of the additional amounts required to compensate such
Lender in respect of Additional Costs, shall be conclusive, so long
as made on a reasonable basis and absent manifest error.
Limitations on Availability of LIBOR
Loans .
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if,
at the time of or prior to the determination of the LIBO Rate in
respect of any LIBO Rate Request Amount as provided in this
Agreement, (i) Administrative Agent determines (which determination
shall be conclusive, so long as made on a reasonable basis) that by
reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market
generally, adequate and fair means do not or will not exist for
determining the LIBO Rate applicable to the Interest Period
specified in the Rate Request in question or (ii) a Lender
determines (which determination shall be conclusive, so long as
made on a reasonable basis) that the LIBO Rate will not accurately
reflect the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining a LIBOR
Loan for the applicable Interest Period, then Administrative Agent,
in the case of the circumstances described in clause (i) above, or
such Lender, in the case of the circumstances described in clause
(ii) above, shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof (with a copy
to Administrative Agent in the case of the notice from such
Lender), and the LIBO Rate Request Amount in question, in the case
of the circumstances described in clause (i) above, or such
Lender's portion thereof, in the case of the circumstances
described in clause (ii) above, shall bear interest, or continue to
bear interest, as the case may be, as a Base Rate Loan. If at any
time subsequent to Administrative Agent's or such Lender's giving
of such notice, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case
may be, determines that because of a change in circumstances LIBOR
Loans are again available to Borrower, Administrative Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be, shall so notify Borrower (with a copy
to Administrative Agent, in the case of the notice from such
Lender) and Borrower may convert the Base Rate Loans or the
affected Base Rate Loans, as the case may be, to LIBOR Loans by
submitting a Rate Request in respect thereof and otherwise
complying with the provisions of this Agreement with respect
thereto.
Certain Compensation
Borrower shall pay directly to a Lender, immediately
upon request and notwithstanding contrary provisions contained in
the Mortgage or other Loan Documents, such amounts as shall, in the
judgment of such Lender (which shall be conclusive so long as made
on a reasonable basis and absent manifest error), compensate it for
any out-of-pocket loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result
of (i) any failure by Borrower to make a borrowing of, conversion
into or continuation of a LIBOR Loan after Borrower has given a
notice requesting the same in accordance with this Agreement, (ii)
any failure by Borrower to make any prepayment after Borrower has
given notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement (subject to Section 2.17), (iii) the making of any
payment or prepayment (under any circumstances whatsoever, whether
voluntary or involuntary) of any LIBOR Loan on a date other than
the last day of an applicable Interest Period, (iv) the conversion
(for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of a
LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of
an applicable Interest Period, or (v) the early termination of any
swap or other interest rate hedging arrangements. In the cases of
clauses (i) through (iv) above, such amounts shall include, without
limitation, an amount equal to the present value (using as a
discount rate the rate at which interest is computed pursuant to
clause (y) below) of the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of
interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid,
converted, not borrowed, not continued, not converted or not
prepaid, as the case may be, for the period from the date of
occurrence to the last day of the applicable Interest Period at the
applicable rate of interest provided for herein (excluding,
however, the LIBOR Margin) over (y) the amount of interest (as
reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to
such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a
comparable period with leading banks in the London interbank
market. In the case of clause (v) above, such amounts shall
include, without limitation, any out-of-pocket loss, cost or
expense arising from the re-employment of funds obtained by the
affected Lender, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from
which such funds were obtained or from reversing any swap or other
interest rate hedging arrangements.
"Lender" to Include Participants
For purposes of this Article III and of the
definitions of "Additional Costs", "Regulatory Change" and "Reserve
Requirements" in Section 1.02, the term "Lender" shall be deemed to
include Postbank. For purposes of this Article III and of the
definition of "Additional Costs" in Section 1.02, the term "Lender"
shall, at each Lender's option, be deemed to include such Lender's
present and future Participants in the Loan to the extent of each
such Participant's actual Additional Costs or other out-of-pocket
losses, costs or expenses payable pursuant to this Article III.
With respect to any Participant or Assignee under Section 8.13,
"Regulatory Change" shall be determined based on the law at the
time such Participant or Assignee became a party to this Agreement,
and not based on the law as of the date hereof.
Substitution of Lenders .
If any Lender (an "Affected Lender") (i) makes
demand upon Borrower for (or if Borrower is otherwise required to
pay) Additional Costs pursuant to Section 3.01 or (ii) gives notice
to Borrower that such Lender is unable to make or maintain its Pro
Rata Share of the Loan at the LIBO Based Rate as a result of a
condition described in clause (ii) of Section 3.02 or in the second
paragraph of Section 3.01, Borrower may, within one hundred eighty
(180) days of receipt of such demand or notice, as the case may be,
give notice (a "Substitution Notice") to Administrative Agent and
to each Lender of its intention to replace such Affected Lender
with another Eligible Lender (the "Substitute Lender") designated
in such Substitution Notice. If the Substitute Lender is not then a
Lender, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and each Lender
within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such Substitution Notice
if such Eligible Lender is, in Administrative Agent's reasonable
judgment, reasonably satisfactory as a lender hereunder (provided
any existing Lender shall be satisfactory). If, in the case the
Substitute Lender is not a Lender, within ten (10) days after
notice from Administrative Agent to Borrower and each Lender that
such Eligible Lender is reasonably satisfactory or in the case the
Substitute Lender is a Lender, within ten (10) days after Borrower
delivers its Substitution Notice to Administrative Agent and each
Lender, the Affected Lender shall not agree to waive the payment of
the Additional Costs in question or the effect of the circumstances
described in clause (ii) of Section 3.02 or in the second paragraph
of Section 3.01, then the Affected Lender shall, so long as no
Event of Default shall exist, assign its Note and all of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement to the Substitute Lender, and
the Substitute Lender shall assume all of the Affected Lender's
rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption
Agreement, executed by the Affected Lender and the Substitute
Lender. It shall be a condition to any such assignment and
assumption that, concurrently therewith, the Affected Lender also
assigns, and the Substitute Lender assumes, the proportionate part
of the Affected Lender's rights and obligations under the Other
Loan. In connection with such assignment and assumption, the
Substitute Lender shall pay to the Affected Lender an amount equal
to the outstanding principal amount under the Affected Lender's
Note plus all interest accrued thereon, plus all other amounts, if
any (other than the Additional Costs in question), then due and
payable to the Affected Lender with respect to the Loan;
provided ,
however , that prior to
or simultaneously with any such assignment and assumption, Borrower
shall have paid (or caused to be paid) to such Affected Lender all
amounts properly demanded and unreimbursed under this Article III.
Upon the effective date of such assignment and assumption and the
payment by the Substitute Lender to Administrative Agent of a fee,
for Administrative Agent's own account, in the amount of $3,500,
the Substitute Lender shall become a party to this Agreement and
shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender as set forth
in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the Affected
Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder, and no
further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the
consummation of any assignment pursuant to this Section, a note
shall be issued to the Substitute Lender by Borrower, in
substitution for the Affected Lender's Note, and the Affected
Lender shall return its Note to Borrower. Such substitute note
shall constitute a "Note", and the obligations evidenced by such
substitute note shall be secured by the Mortgage. In connection
with Borrower's execution of such substitute note as aforesaid,
Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent such evidence of the
due authorization, execution and delivery of the substitute note
and any related documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably
request. If the Substitute Lender is not incorporated under the
Laws of the United States or a state thereof, it shall, prior to
the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for
its account, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent
certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any
United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section
7.13.
Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall
execute such modifications to the Loan Documents as shall, in the
reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent, be necessary or
desirable in connection with the substitution of Lenders in
accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
Section.
