    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

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.

 

Contingency Advances

 

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.
