material default under the terms of any Easement. |
| |
5.20 |
|
No Prohibited
Transactions |
| |
|
|
The Mortgagor represents to the Lender that either (a) the
Mortgagor is not an “employee benefit plan” within the
meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended (“ERISA”), that is subject to Title I of ERISA,
a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
or an entity that is deemed to hold “plan assets”
within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101 of any such
employee benefit plan or (b) the entering into of the Loan
Documents, the acceptance of the Loan by the Borrower and the
existence of the Loan will not result in a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under §406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code. The Mortgagor further warrants and covenants that the
foregoing representation will remain true during the term of this
Mortgage. |
10
| |
|
|
The Mortgagor shall remain in good standing as a limited
liability company under the laws of Illinois and shall maintain in
force any statements of fictitious name and registrations necessary
to remain in good standing as a limited liability company under the
laws of the State of Illinois during the term of this
Mortgage. |
| |
6.2 |
|
No Default or
Violations |
| |
|
|
The Mortgagor shall not enter into any contract, agreement,
document or other instrument, if the performance of the
Mortgagor’s Obligations would result in any breach of, or
constitute a default under, any such contract, agreement, document
or other instrument, or if the contract, agreement, document or
other instrument would impose any obligations the performance of
which would result in a Default under the Loan Documents. |
| |
6.3 |

The Mortgagor shall pay and perform all of its Obligations as

|
The Mortgagor shall pay the Impositions on or before the last

shall, within thirty (30) days, furnish the Lender with a paid
receipt or a cancelled check as evidence of payment. If the Lender
does not receive such evidence, the Lender may obtain it directly.
If it does so, the Lender will charge the Borrower an
administrative fee of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250) for securing
the evidence of payment. The payment of this fee shall be a demand
obligation of the Mortgagor. If the Mortgagor wishes to contest the
validity or amount of an Imposition, it may do so by complying with
Section 11 . If any new Legal Requirement (other than a
general tax on income or on interest payments) taxes the Mortgage
so that the yield on the Indebtedness would be reduced, and the
Mortgagor may lawfully pay the tax or reimburse the Lender for its
payment, the Mortgagor shall do so. |

necessary or desirable for the use of the Real Property, or which
the Mortgagor as landlord under any Lease is required to maintain
for the benefit of any tenant. In its performance of this
Obligation, the Mortgagor shall promptly and in a good and
workmanlike manner repair or restore, as required under
Subsection 6.15 , any elements of the Improvements that are
damaged or destroyed. The Mortgagor shall also replace roofs,
parking lots, mechanical systems, and other elements of the
Improvements requiring periodic replacement. The Mortgagor shall
carry out such replacements no less frequently than would a
commercially reasonable owner of properties of a similar use,
value, age, nature and construction. The Mortgagor shall not,
without the prior written consent of the Lender, which consent
shall not be |
11
| |
|
|
unreasonably withheld, demolish, reconfigure, or materially
alter the structural elements of the Improvements, unless such an
action is the obligation of the Mortgagor under a Lease approved by
Lender or for which the Lender’s approval is not required.
The Lender agrees that any request for its consent to such an
action shall be deemed given if the Lender does not respond within
fifteen (15) Business Days to any written request for such a
consent, if the request is accompanied by all materials required to
permit the Lender to analyze the proposed action. The
