exemption;
(ii) shall
impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve not applicable or
deemed applicable on the date hereof (including any reserve imposed
by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, special
deposit, capital or similar requirements against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any
Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office); or
(iii) shall
impose on any Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office or the London
interbank market any other condition affecting any LIBOR Rate
Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Rate Advances, its
obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances or this Agreement, or shall
otherwise affect any of the same;
and the result
of any of the foregoing, as determined in good faith by such
Lender, increases the cost to such Lender or its LIBOR Lending
Office of making or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Advance or in
respect of any LIBOR Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing
LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances or
reduces the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender
or its LIBOR Lending Office with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advance,
any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Rate Advances or its obligation
to make LIBOR Rate Advances, then, within five (5) Banking Days
after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or
reduction (determined as though such
- 32 -
Lender’s
LIBOR Lending Office had funded 100% of its LIBOR Rate Advance in
the London interbank market), provided, that with respect to any
additional amount arising as a result of the occurrence of an event
described in clause (i) above, Borrower shall not be obligated
to pay any such amount which arose prior to the date which is
ninety (90) days preceding the date of such demand or is
attributable to periods prior to the date which is ninety
(90) days preceding the date of such demand. A statement of
any Lender claiming compensation under this subsection shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(b) If,
after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence of any Special
LIBOR Circumstance shall, in the good faith opinion of any Lender,
make it unlawful or impossible for such Lender or its LIBOR Lending
Office to make, maintain or fund its portion of any LIBOR Rate
Loan, or materially restrict the authority of such Lender to
purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London
interbank market, or to determine or charge interest rates based
upon the LIBOR Rate, and such Lender shall so notify the
Administrative Agent, then such Lender’s obligation to make
LIBOR Rate Advances shall be suspended for the duration of such
illegality or impossibility and the Administrative Agent forthwith
shall give notice thereof to the other Lenders and Borrower. Upon
receipt of such notice, the outstanding principal amount of such
Lender’s LIBOR Rate Advances, together with accrued interest
thereon, automatically shall be converted to Alternate Base Rate
Advances on either (1) the last day of the LIBOR Period(s)
applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advances if such Lender may lawfully
continue to maintain and fund such LIBOR Rate Advances to such
day(s) or (2) immediately if such Lender may not lawfully
continue to fund and maintain such LIBOR Rate Advances to such
day(s), provided that in such event the conversion shall not be
subject to payment of a prepayment fee under
Section 3.5(d) . Each Lender agrees to endeavor
promptly to notify Borrower of any event of which it has actual
knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will cause that
Lender to notify the Administrative Agent under this Section, and
agrees to designate a different LIBOR Lending Office if such
designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in
the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially
disadvantageous to such Lender. In the event that any Lender is
unable, for the reasons set forth above (or those set forth in
clause (c) below), to make, maintain or fund its portion of
any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Lender shall fund such amount as an
Alternate Base Rate Advance for the same period of time, and such
amount shall be treated in all respects as an Alternate Base Rate
Advance. Any Lender whose obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances
has been suspended under this Section shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent and Borrower of the cessation of the Special
LIBOR Circumstance which gave rise to such suspension.
(c) If,
with respect to any proposed LIBOR Rate Loan:
(i) the
Administrative Agent reasonably determines that, by reason of
circumstances affecting the London interbank market generally that
are beyond the reasonable control of the Lenders, deposits in
Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to any
Lender in the London interbank market for the applicable LIBOR
Period; or
(ii)
the Requisite Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that the
LIBOR Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent (i) does
not represent the effective pricing to such Lenders for deposits in
Dollars in the London interbank market in the relevant amount
for
- 33 -
the applicable
LIBOR Period, or (ii) will not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to such Lenders of making the applicable LIBOR Rate
Advances;
then the
Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to
Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent
notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such
suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make
any future LIBOR Rate Advances shall be suspended.
(d) Except
for a failure caused by any Lender’s default, Borrower shall
indemnify the Lenders against any loss or expense that the Lenders
may sustain or incur (including, without limitation, any loss or
expense sustained or incurred in obtaining, liquidating or
employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or
maintain any LIBOR Rate Loans) as a consequence of (i) any
failure of Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due
hereunder, (ii) any failure of Borrower to borrow, continue or
convert a LIBOR Rate Loan on a date specified therefor in a notice
thereof, (iii) any failure to fulfill on the scheduled
commencement date of any LIBOR Period hereunder the applicable
conditions set forth herein as prerequisites to an Advance that is
to be a LIBOR Rate Loan or to the election of a LIBOR Rate,
(iv) any failure to borrow hereunder after a request for a
LIBOR Rate Loan has been given, (v) any payment or prepayment
permitted or mandated hereunder of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a date
other than the last day of the relevant LIBOR Period, including
without limitation upon acceleration following an Event of Default,
or (vi) the occurrence of any Event of Default, including but
not limited to any loss or expense sustained or incurred or to be
sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from
third parties acquired to effect or maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan.
Without limiting the foregoing, such loss or expense shall
conclusively be deemed to include a “Breakage Fee” (as
defined below). The term “Breakage Fee” shall mean that
sum equal to the greater of $200 or the financial loss incurred by
the Lenders resulting from prepayment or failure to borrow,
calculated by the Administrative Agent as the difference between
the amount of interest the Lenders would have earned (from like
investments in the Money Markets (as hereinafter defined) as of the
first day of the applicable LIBOR Period) had prepayment or failure
to borrow not occurred and the interest the Lenders would actually
earn (from like investments in the Money Markets as of the date of
prepayment or failure to borrow) as a result of the redeployment of
funds from the prepayment or failure to borrow. Borrower agrees
that the Breakage Fee shall not be discounted to its present value.
Any voluntary prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in an amount
equal to the remaining entire principal balance of such LIBOR Rate
Loan. The term “Money Markets” refers to one or more
wholesale funding markets available to Lenders, including
negotiable certificates of deposit, commercial paper, Eurodollar
deposits, bank notes, federal funds and others. The Administrative
Agent shall provide to Borrower a statement, signed by an officer
of the Administrative Agent, explaining any such loss or expense
and setting forth the computation of the Breakage Fee pursuant to
the preceding provisions which, in the absence of manifest error,
shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower.
(e) Each
Lender agrees to endeavor promptly to notify Borrower of any event
of which it has actual knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date,
which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this
Section 3.5 , and agrees to designate a different LIBOR
Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for or
reduce the amount of such compensation and
- 34 -
will not, in
the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially
disadvantageous to such Lender. Any request for compensation by a
Lender under this Section 3.5 shall set forth the basis
upon which it has been determined that such an amount is due from
Borrower, a calculation of the amount due, and a certification that
the corresponding costs have been incurred by the
Lender.
3.6 Late
Payments . If any installment of principal or interest or any
fee or cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender is not paid when due, it shall
thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum
(the “ Default Rate ”) at all times equal to
(i) in the case of interest or principal, the sum of the rate
otherwise applicable to the Loans, plus 3% and (ii) in the
case of any other amount, the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus
3%, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and
unpaid interest on past due amounts (including, without limitation,
interest on past due interest) shall be compounded monthly, on the
last day of each calendar month, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws, and shall be payable upon demand. In addition,
Borrower shall pay, upon demand, a late charge equal to five
percent (5%) of any amount of interest and/or principal payable on
the Loans or any other amounts payable hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents which is not paid within ten (10) days of the
date when due.
3.7 Computation
of Interest and Fees . Computation of interest and fees under
this Agreement shall be calculated on the basis of a year of
360 days and the actual number of days elapsed, except that
interest at the Alternate Base Rate shall be calculated on the
basis of a 365 or 366 day year, as applicable. Interest shall
accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made; interest
shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on
which the Loan or such portion is paid. Any Loan that is repaid on
the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable
Laws shall not accrue or be payable hereunder or under the Notes,
and any amount paid as interest hereunder or under the Notes which
would otherwise be in excess of such maximum permitted amount shall
instead be treated as a payment of principal.
3.8 Non Banking
Days . If any payment to be made by Borrower or any other Party
under any Loan Document shall come due on a day other than a
Banking Day, payment shall instead be considered due on the next
succeeding Banking Day, unless, in the case of a payment relating
to a LIBOR Rate Loan, such next succeeding Banking Day is in the
next calendar month, in which case such payment shall be made on
the next preceding Banking Day, but the extension of time shall not
be reflected in computing interest and fees.
3.9 Manner and
Treatment of Payments .
(a) Each
payment hereunder (except payments pursuant to
Sections 3.4 , 3.5 , 18.3 , 18.11
and 18.22 ) or on the Notes or under any other Loan Document
shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative
Agent’s Office for the account of each of the Lenders or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in immediately available
funds not later than 2:00 p.m., Cleveland time, on the day of
payment (which must be a Banking Day). All payments received after
such time, on any Banking Day, shall be deemed received on the next
succeeding Banking Day. The amount of all payments received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender shall be
immediately paid by the Administrative Agent to the applicable
Lender in
- 35 -
immediately
available funds and, if such payment was received by the
Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m., Cleveland time, on a Banking Day
and not so made available to the account of a Lender on that
Banking Day, the Administrative Agent shall reimburse that Lender
for the cost to such Lender of funding the amount of such payment
at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. All payments shall be made in
Dollars.
(b) Each
payment or prepayment shall be applied first to Alternate Base Rate
Loans and then to LIBOR Rate Loans. Each payment or prepayment on
account of any such Alternate Base Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan
shall be applied pro rata according to the outstanding Advances
made by each Lender comprising such Loan.
(c) Each
Lender shall keep a record (in writing or by an electronic data
entry system) of Advances made by it and payments received by it
with respect to each of its Notes and, subject to
Section 17.6(g) , such record shall, as against
Borrower, be presumptive evidence of the amounts owing, absent
manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the failure
by any Lender to keep such a record shall not affect
Borrower’s obligation to pay the Obligations.
(d) Each
payment of any amount payable by Borrower or any other Party under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made without
setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of, and without reduction
by reason of, any taxes, assessments or other charges imposed by
any Governmental Agency, central bank or comparable authority,
excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part
by any Lender’s overall net income (including taxes on gross
income imposed in lieu of net income tax, minimum taxes or branch
profits taxes) by (A) any jurisdiction (or political
subdivision thereof) in which such Lender is organized or maintains
its principal office or LIBOR Lending Office or (B) any
jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which such
Lender is “doing business” and (ii) any
withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by
the United States of America for any period with respect to which
any Lender has failed, for whatever reason, timely to provide
Borrower with the appropriate form or forms required by Section
18.21 , to the extent such forms are then required by
applicable Laws to establish a complete exemption (all such non
excluded taxes, assessments or other charges being hereinafter
referred to as “Taxes”). To the extent that Borrower is
obligated by applicable Laws to make any deduction or withholding
on account of Taxes from any amount payable to any Lender under
this Agreement, Borrower shall (i) make such deduction or
withholding and pay the same to the relevant Governmental Agency
and (ii) pay such additional amount to that Lender as is
necessary to result in that Lender’s receiving a net after
Tax amount equal to the amount to which that Lender would have been
entitled under this Agreement absent such deduction or
withholding.
3.10 Funding
Sources . Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate
any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan or Advance in any
particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any
Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan
or Advance in any particular place or manner.
3.11 Failure to
Charge Not Subsequent Waiver . Any decision by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender not to require payment of any
interest (including interest arising under Section 3.6
), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to
calculate any amount payable by a particular method, on any
occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of
the
- 36 -
Administrative
Agent’s or such Lender’s right to require full payment
of any interest (including interest arising under
Section 3.6 ), fee, cost or other amount payable under
any Loan Document, or to calculate an amount payable by another
method that is not inconsistent with this Agreement, on any other
or subsequent occasion.
3.12
Administrative Agent’s Right to Assume Payments Will be
Made by Borrower . Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
been notified by Borrower prior to the date on which any payment to
be made by Borrower hereunder is due that Borrower does not intend
to remit such payment, the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion, assume that Borrower has remitted such payment when so
due and the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Lender on
such payment date an amount equal to such Lender’s share of
such assumed payment. If Borrower has not in fact remitted such
payment to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall forthwith on
demand repay to the Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed
payment made available to such Lender, together with interest
thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such
amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such
Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative
Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.
3.13
Calculations Detail . The Administrative Agent, and any
Lender, shall provide reasonable detail to Borrower regarding the
manner in which the amount of any payment to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, or that Lender, under Article 3
has been determined, within a reasonable period of time after
request by Borrower.
3.14
Survivability . The provisions of Sections 3.4
and 3.5 shall survive following the date on which the
Commitments are terminated and all Loans hereunder are fully paid,
and Borrower shall remain obligated thereunder for all claims under
such Sections made by any Lender to Borrower.
REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES
Borrower
represents and warrants to the Lenders that:
4.1 Existence
and Qualification; Power; Compliance With Laws . Borrower is a
limited liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good
standing under the Laws of Delaware. Trust is a corporation duly
formed, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of
Maryland. Parent is a limited partnership, duly formed, validly
existing and in good standing under the Laws of Maryland. Each of
the Loan Parties is duly qualified or registered to transact
business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in
which the conduct of its business or the ownership or leasing of
its Properties makes such qualification or registration necessary,
except where the failure so to qualify or register and to be in
good standing would not constitute a Material Adverse Effect. Each
of the Loan Parties has all requisite power and authority to
conduct its business, to own and lease its Properties and to
execute and deliver each Loan Document to which it is a Party and
to perform its Obligations. All outstanding shares of capital stock
of Parent are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, and no holder thereof has any enforceable
- 37 -
right of
rescission under any applicable state or federal securities Laws.
To Borrower’s knowledge, each of the Loan Parties is in
compliance with all Laws and other legal requirements applicable to
its business, has obtained all authorizations, consents, approvals,
orders, licenses and permits from, and has accomplished all
filings, registrations and qualifications with, or obtained
exemptions from any of the foregoing from, any Governmental Agency
that are necessary for the transaction of its business, except
where the failure so to comply, obtain authorizations, etc., file,
register, qualify or obtain exemptions does not constitute a
Material Adverse Effect. Parent is a “real estate investment
trust” within the meaning of §856 of the Code, has
elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust and is
subject to federal income taxation as a real estate investment
trust pursuant to §§856-860 of the Code.
4.2 Authority;
Compliance With Other Agreements and Instruments and Government
Regulations . The execution, delivery and performance by each
of the Loan Parties of the Loan Documents to which it is a Party
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership
or limited liability company action, as applicable, and do not and
will not:
(a) Require
any consent or approval not heretofore obtained of any partner,
director, stockholder, security holder or creditor of the Loan
Parties;
(b) Violate
or conflict with any provision of any Loan Party’s charter,
articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational
agreements, as applicable;
(c) Result
in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with
respect to any Property now owned or leased or hereafter acquired
by the Loan Parties;
(d) Violate
in any material respect any material Requirement of Law applicable
to the Loan Parties; or
(e) Result
in a breach of or constitute a default under, or cause or permit
the acceleration of any obligation owed under, any indenture or
loan or credit agreement or any other Contractual Obligation to
which the Loan Parties are a party or by which the Loan Parties or
any of their Property is bound or affected;
and none of the
Loan Parties is in violation of, or default under, any Requirement
of Law or Contractual Obligation, or any indenture, loan or credit
agreement described in Section 4.2(e) , in any respect that
constitutes a Material Adverse Effect.
4.3 No
Governmental Approvals Required . Except as previously obtained
or made, and except for consents, approvals or permits pertaining
to construction or development of a type that are routinely granted
and that would not normally be obtained before the commencement of
performance and which Borrower has no reason to believe will not be
obtained as and when required, no authorization, consent, approval,
order, license or permit from, or filing, registration or
qualification with, any Governmental Agency is or will be required
to authorize or permit under applicable Laws the execution,
delivery and performance by any of the Loan Parties of the Loan
Documents to which it is a Party.
- 38 -
4.4
Subsidiaries . Schedule 4.4 hereto
correctly sets forth the names, form of legal entity, number of
shares of capital stock (or other applicable unit of equity
interest) issued and outstanding, and the record owner thereof and
jurisdictions of organization of all Subsidiaries of Parent. Unless
otherwise indicated in Schedule 4.4 , all of the
outstanding shares of capital stock, or all of the units of equity
interest, as the case may be, of each such Subsidiary are owned of
record and beneficially by Parent, there are no outstanding
options, warrants or other rights to purchase capital stock of any
such Subsidiary, and all such shares or equity interests so owned
are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable,
and were issued in compliance with all applicable state and federal
securities and other Laws, and are free and clear of all Liens,
except for Permitted Liens.
4.5 Financial
Statements . All financial statements and other information
previously delivered to the Administrative Agent by Borrower,
Parent and Trust fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and/or other
information described therein.
4.6 No Other
Liabilities; No Material Adverse Changes . The Loan Parties do
not have any material liability or material contingent liability
required under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles to be
reflected or disclosed, and not reflected or disclosed, in the
balance sheets described in Section 4.5 , other than
liabilities and contingent liabilities arising in the ordinary
course of business since the date of such financial statements. As
of the Closing Date, no circumstance or event has occurred that
constitutes a Material Adverse Effect.
4.7 [Intentionally
Omitted.]
4.8 Intangible
Assets . The Loan Parties own, or possess the right to use to
the extent necessary in their respective businesses, all material
trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights,
computer software, licenses and other Intangible Assets that are
used in the conduct of their businesses as now operated, and no
such Intangible Asset, to the best knowledge of Borrower, conflicts
with the valid trademark, trade name, copyright, patent, patent
right or Intangible Asset of any other Person to the extent that
such conflict constitutes a Material Adverse Effect.
4.9
Litigation . Except for (a) any matter fully covered as
to subject matter and amount (subject to applicable deductibles and
retentions) by insurance for which the insurance carrier has not
asserted lack of subject matter coverage or reserved its right to
do so, (b) any matter, or series of related matters, involving
a claim against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of less than
$10,000,000 (or, in each case in which this representation and
warranty is remade after the Closing Date, less than $10,000,000 or
such greater amount that the Administrative Agen
