(1) Subject
to Section 2.6(3), Section 2.7(2) and
Section 2.7(3), Lead Borrower shall have the right to Convert
Loans of one Type into Loans of another Type or Continue Loans of
one Type as Loans of the same Type, at any time or from time to
time;
30
provided that: (a) Lead Borrower shall give Administrative
Agent notice of each such Conversion or Continuation as provided in
Section 2.6(4); (b) LIBOR-based Loans may be Converted
only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans unless
Borrower complies with the terms of Section 2.7(5) and
(c) subject to Section 2.7(1) and Section 2.7(3),
any Conversion or Continuation of Loans shall be pro rata among the
Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the
rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and the Lenders under
Article 11, in the event that any Event of Default exists,
Administrative Agent may (and at the request of the Majority
Lenders shall) suspend the right of Lead Borrower to Convert any
Loan into a LIBOR-based Loan, or to Continue any Loan as a
LIBOR-based Loan for so long as such Event of Default exists, in
which event all Loans shall be Converted (on the last day(s) of the
respective Interest Periods therefor) or Continued, as the case may
be, as Base Rate Loans. In connection with any such Conversion, a
Lender may (at its sole discretion) transfer a Loan from one
Applicable Lending Office to another.
(2) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time
that a Hedge Agreement is in effect, Lead Borrower shall have the
right to choose only an Interest Period with respect to the
principal amount equal to the notional amount under such Hedge
Agreement which is the same as the Interest Rate Hedge Period which
is the same as the Interest Rate Hedge Period.
Section 2.3 Interest Rate;
Late Charge.
(1) Borrower
hereby promises to pay to Administrative Agent for account of each
Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by
such Lender for the period from and including the date of such Loan
to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the
following rates per annum:
(a) during
such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate;
and
(b) during
such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR-based Loan, for each Interest
Period relating thereto, the Adjusted Libor Rate for such Loan for
such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.
(2) Accrued
interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) monthly in arrears
on each Payment Date and (ii) in the case of any Loan, upon
the payment or prepayment thereof or the Conversion of such Loan to
a Loan of another Type (but only on the principal amount so paid,
prepaid or Converted), except that interest payable at the Default
Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand.
(3) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, after the Maturity Date
and during any period when an Event of Default exists, Borrower
shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender
(i) interest at the applicable Default Rate on the outstanding
principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender, (ii) any
interest payments thereon not paid when due and (iii) interest
on any other amount payable by Borrower hereunder, under the Notes
and any other Loan Documents.
31
(4) Promptly
after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or
any change therein, Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof
to the Lenders to which such interest is payable and to Lead
Borrower, but the failure of Administrative Agent to provide such
notice shall not affect Borrower’s obligation for the payment
of interest on the Loans.
(5) In
addition to any sums due under this Section 2.3 ,
Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the
Lenders a late payment premium in the amount of five percent (5)%
of any payments of interest or other sums under the Loans made more
than five (5) days after the due date thereof (other than the
principal balance due on the Maturity Date), which late payment
premium shall be due with any such late payment or upon demand by
Administrative Agent. Such late payment charge represents the
reasonable estimate of Borrower and the Lenders of a fair average
compensation for the loss that may be sustained by the Lenders due
to the failure of Borrower to make timely payments. Such late
charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to collect any other amounts
provided herein or in the other Loan Documents to be paid or to
exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan
Documents.
(6) Borrower
shall pay Additional Interest under the Notes in accordance with

principal amounts specified in Section 2.6(3) .

Security Documents the proceeds of insurance, condemnation award or
other compensation received in respect of any casualty or

2.6(4) , together with (a) the accrued and unpaid interest
(including accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if
applicable(which may include certain early termination payments, in
accordance with the terms of any applicable Hedge Agreement

Section 2.7(5) as a result of such prepayment while an

payment is to be applied (and in the event that Lead Borrower fails
to so specify, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Administrative Agent may distribute such payment to the
Lenders for application in such manner as it may determine to be
appropriate, subject to Section 2.6(1) and any other agreement
among Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to such
application).

Period) or, if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan, will remain as a
Base Rate Loan.
(5)
Non Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent . Unless
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or Lead
Borrower (in either case, and along with Borrower, the “
Payor ”) prior to the date on which the Payor
is to make payment to Administrative Agent of (in the case of a
Lender) the proceeds of a Loan to be made by such Lender hereunder
or (in the case of Borrower) a payment to Administrative Agent for
account of any Lender hereunder (in either case, such payment being
herein called the “ Required Payment ”),
which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does
not intend to make the Required Payment to Administrative Agent,
Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been
made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be
required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended
recipient(s) on such date; and, if the Payor has not in fact made
the Required Payment to Administrative Agent, the recipient(s) of
such payment shall, on demand, repay to Administrative Agent the
amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect
of each day during the period commencing on the date (the “
Advance Date ”) such amount was so made
available by Administrative Agent until the date Administrative
Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to
(a) the Federal Funds Rate for such day in the case of
payments returned to Administrative Agent by any of the Lenders or
(b) the applicable interest rate due hereunder with respect to
payments returned by Borrower to Administrative Agent and, if such
recipient(s) shall fail promptly to make such
39
payment,
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount, on
demand, from the Payor, together with interest as aforesaid;
provided that if neither the recipient(s) nor the Payor
shall return the Required Payment to Administrative Agent within
three (3) Business Days of the Advance Date, then,
retroactively to the Advance Date, the Payor and the recipient(s)
shall each be obligated to pay interest on the Required Payment as
follows:
(a) if
the Required Payment shall represent a payment to be made by
Borrower to the Lenders, Borrower and the recipient(s) shall each
be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in
respect of the Required Payment at the Default Rate (without
duplication of the obligation of Borrower under
Section 2.3 to pay interest on the Required Payment at
the Default Rate), it being understood that the return by the
recipient(s) of the Required Payment to Administrative Agent shall
not limit such obligation of Borrower under Section 2.3
to pay interest at the Default Rate in respect of the Required
Payment, and
(b) if
the Required Payment shall represent proceeds of a Loan to be made
by the Lenders to Borrower, the Payor and Borrower shall each be
obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in
respect of the Required Payment pursuant to whichever of the rates
specified in Section 2.3 is applicable to the Type of
such Loan, it being understood that the return by Borrower of the
Required Payment to Administrative Agent shall not limit any claim
Borrower may have against the Payor in respect of such Required
Payment.
(6)
Sharing of Payments, Etc.
(a)
Sharing . If any Lender shall obtain from Borrower payment
of any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment
of any other amount under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
through the exercise (subject, as among the Lenders, to
Section 12.25 ) of any right of set off, banker’s
lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from
Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such
payment, such Lender shall have received a greater percentage of
the principal of or interest on the Loans or such other amounts
then due hereunder or thereunder by Borrower to such Lender than
the percentage received by any other Lender, it shall promptly
purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to
the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans
or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders
(or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts,
and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be
equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit
of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by
such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro
rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on
the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to each of the
Lenders. To such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate
adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold
or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored.
(b)
Consent by Borrower . Borrower agrees that any Lender so
purchasing such a participation (or direct interest) may exercise
(subject, as among the Lenders, to Section 12.25 ) all
rights of set off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar
rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case
may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such
participation.
40
(c)
Rights of Lenders; Bankruptcy . Nothing contained herein
shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect
the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of
exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness
or obligation of Borrower. If, under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured
claim in lieu of a set off to which this Section 2.6(6)
applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its
rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with
the rights of the Lenders entitled under this
Section 2.6(6) to share in the benefits of any recovery
on such secured claim.
Section 2.7 Yield
Protection; Etc.

LIBOR-based Loans . If any Change in Law shall:
(A)
impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended
or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement
reflected in the Adjusted Libor Rate);
(B)
subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect
to this Agreement or any LIBOR-based Loan made by it, or change the
basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof
(except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by
Section 2.7(6) and the imposition of, or any change in
the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or
(C)
impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other
condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such
Lender.
and the
result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to
such Lenders of making or maintaining any LIBOR-based Loan (or of
maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder
(whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then Borrower will
promptly upon demand pay to such Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs
incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)
Capital Requirements . If any Lender reasonably determines
that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s
holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the
Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender
or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for
such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s
policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company
with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower
will promptly upon demand pay to such Lender, as the case may be,
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction
suffered; provided that such Lender would cause similarly situated
Borrowers to compensate them for such an event.
41
(c)
Certificates for Reimbursement . A certificate of a Lender
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such
Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in
paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section 2.7(1) shall be delivered to Lead Borrower and
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such
Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten
(10) days after receipt thereof by Lead Borrower.
(d)
Delays in Requests . Failure or delay on the part of any
Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not
constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such
compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required
to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased
costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the
date that such Lender notifies Lead Borrower of the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such
Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor;
provided further that, if the Change in Law giving
rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof.
(2)
Limitation on Types of Loans . Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of
the Libor Rate for any Interest Period:
(a) Administrative
Agent reasonably determines that quotations of interest rates for
the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of Libor Rate
are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant
maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for
LIBOR-based Loans; or
(b) the
Majority Lenders reasonably determine, and notify Administrative
Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the
definition of Libor Rate are not likely adequate to cover the cost
to such Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR-based Loans for such
Interest Period;
then
Administrative Agent shall give Lead Borrower and each Lender
prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in
effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional
LIBOR-based Loans, to Continue LIBOR-based Loans or to Convert
Loans of any other Type into LIBOR-based Loans, and Borrower shall,
on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the
outstanding LIBOR-based Loans, either prepay such Loans or such
Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans.
(3)
Illegality . Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or
its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or
maintain LIBOR-based Loans hereunder (and, in the sole opinion of
such Lender, the designation of a different Applicable Lending
Office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be
disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly
notify Lead Borrower thereof (with a copy to Administrative Agent)
and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to
Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR-based Loans shall be
suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and
maintain LIBOR-based Loans.
42
(4)
Treatment of Affected Loans . If the obligation of any
Lender to make LIBOR-based Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base
Rate Loans into, LIBOR-based Loans shall be suspended pursuant to
Section 2.7(1) or Section 2.7(3) , such
Lender’s Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base
Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest
Period(s) for Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion resulting from
a circumstance described in Section 2.7(3) , on such
earlier date as such Lender may specify to Lead Borrower with a
copy to Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender
gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in
Section 2.7(1) or Section 2.7(3) that gave
rise to such Conversion no longer exist:
(a) to
the extent that such Lender’s Loans have been so Converted,
all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be
applied to such Lender’s Loans shall be applied instead to
its Base Rate Loans; and
(b) all
Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as
LIBOR-based Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate
Loans, and all Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be
Converted into LIBOR-based Loans shall remain as Base Rate
Loans.
If such
Lender gives notice to Lead Borrower with a copy to Administrative
Agent that the circumstances specified in
Section 2.7(1) or Section 2.7(3) that gave
rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s Loans pursuant to
this Section 2.7(4) no longer exist (which such Lender
agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at
a time when LIBOR-based Loans made by other Lenders are
outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be
automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding
Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR-based Loans, to the
extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Base
Rate Loans and LIBOR-based Loans are allocated among the Lenders
ratably (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in
accordance with their respective Commitments.
(5)
LIBOR Breakage Costs . Borrower shall upon request pay to
Administrative Agent for account of each Lender, such amount or
amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of each
Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such
Lender determines is attributable to:
(a) any
payment, prepayment or Conversion of a LIBOR-based Loan made by
such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, the
acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Administrative Agent’s
or the Lenders’ rights referred to in Article 11
) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such
Loan; or
(b) any
failure by Borrower for any reason to borrow a LIBOR-based Loan
from such Lender on the date for such borrowing specified in any
Request for Loan Advance.
Without
limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation
shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of
(i) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued
on the principal amount so paid, prepaid, Converted or not borrowed
for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment,
Conversion or failure to borrow to the last day of the then
43
current
Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to
borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan that would have commenced
on the date specified for such borrowing) at the applicable rate of
interest for such Loan provided for herein over (ii) the
amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on such
principal amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest
component of the amount such Lender would have bid in the London
interbank market for Dollar deposits of leading banks in amounts
comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable
to such period (as reasonably determined by such Lender), or if
such Lender shall cease to make such bids, the equivalent rate, as
reasonably determined by such Lender, derived from Page 3750 of the
Telerate Service or other publicly available source as described in
the definition of Libor Rate. A certificate of any Lender setting
forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive
pursuant to this section shall be delivered to Lead Borrower and
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such
Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten
(10) days after receipt thereof.
(6)
Taxes .
(a)
Payments Free of Taxes . Any and all payments by or on
account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction
for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if
Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be
increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section), Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be)
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such
deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.
(b)
Payment of Other Taxes by Borrowers . Without limiting the
provisions of paragraph (a) above, Borrower shall pay any
Other Taxes but not Excluded Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c)
Indemnification by Borrower . Borrower shall indemnify
Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days
after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by Administrative Agent or
such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment
by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder (including
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any
penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of
such payment or liability delivered to Lead Borrower by a Lender,
or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a
Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)
Evidence of Payments . As soon as practicable after any
payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower to a
Governmental Authority, Lead Borrower shall deliver to
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt
issued by such
44
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the
return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment
reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
(e)
Foreign Lenders . Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an
exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the
jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which
such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this
Agreement shall deliver to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to
Administrative Agent), prior to the Initial Advance, Form W-8BEN or
Form W-8ECI of the Internal Revenue Service, or such other properly
completed and executed forms, certifications, statements or
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested
by such Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate. Administrative Agent shall not be
obligated to make any payments hereunder to Lenders in respect of
the Loan until such Lenders shall have furnished to Administrative
Agent the requested form, certification, statement or
documentation.
(f)
Refunds . If Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in
its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or
Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with
respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to
this Section 2.7(6) , it shall pay over such refund to
Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or
additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this
Section 2.7(6) with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes
giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that
Borrower, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Lender,
agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender in
the event Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay
such refund to such Governmental Authority. This section shall not
be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to make
available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its
taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other
Person..
(7)
Replacement of Lenders . If any Lender requests compensation
pursuant to Section 2.7(1) or Section 2.7(6) ,
or any Lender’s obligation to Continue Loans of any Type, or
to Convert Loans of any Type into the other Type of Loan, shall be
suspended pursuant to Section 2.7(2) or
Section 2.7(3) (any such Lender requesting such
compensation, or whose obligations are so suspended, being herein
called a “ Requesting Lender ”), Lead
Borrower, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice, may
require that such Requesting Lender transfer all of its right,
title and interest under this Agreement and such Requesting
Lender’s Note to any bank or other financial institution (a
“ Proposed Lender ”) identified by Lead
Borrower that is satisfactory to Administrative Agent (i) if
such Proposed Lender agrees to assume all of the obligations of
such Requesting Lender hereunder, and to purchase all of such
Requesting Lender’s Loans hereunder for consideration equal
to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Requesting
Lender’s Loans, together with accrued interest thereon to the
date of such purchase and pay all other amounts accrued and payable
hereunder to such Requesting Lender as of the date of such transfer
(including any fees accrued hereunder and any amounts that would be
payable under Section 2.7(1) ,
Section 2.7(5) or Section 2.7(6) . Subject
to the provisions of Section 12.23(1) , such Proposed
Lender shall be a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder.
Without prejudice to the
45
survival
of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements of
Borrower contained in Section 2.7(1) and
Section 2.7(6) (without duplication of any payments
made to such Requesting Lender by Borrower or the Proposed Lender)
shall survive for the benefit of such Requesting Lender under this
Section 2.7(7) with respect to the time prior to such
replacement.
Section 2.8 Agency Fee .
Until payment in full of all obligations under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay to Administrative
Agent, for its sole account, the Agency Fee in accordance with the
Fee Letter.
Section 2.9 Exit Fee .
With respect to any repayment or prepayment of principal under the
Loans for any reason whatsoever (whether such repayment or
prepayment of the Loans is made voluntarily or involuntarily or as
a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to which
the Administrative Agent has accelerated the obligations of the
Borrower under the Loan Documents or otherwise), Borrower shall pay
to Administrative Agent, in addition to all other amounts that may
be due hereunder, an amount equal to one quarter of one percent
(0.25%) of the amount so repaid or prepaid under the Loans (the
“ Exit Fee ”). The Exit Fee will be
automatically waived in the event that (1) the Loans are
prepaid in connection with a bona-fide arms length sale of the
Project to a third party which is not an Affiliate of Borrower, or
(2) the Loans are paid in full pursuant to a refinancing
arrangement with Administrative Agent.
ARTICLE 3
INSURANCE, CONDEMNATION, AND IMPOUNDS
Section 3.1
Insurance.
(1) Borrower
shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, Policies
providing at least the following coverages for Borrower and the
Project (at all times through the repayment of the Loans in
full):
(a) comprehensive
all-risk insurance on the Improvements and the personal property,
in each case (i) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full
Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall
mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations,
foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of
depreciation, (ii) containing an agreed amount endorsement
with respect to the improvements and personal property waiving all
co insurance provisions; (iii) providing for no deductible in
excess of $50,000; (iv) providing for repairs and alteration
coverage; and (v) providing coverage for contingent liability
from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased
Cost of Construction Endorsements together with an “Ordinance
or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement if
any of the Improvements or the use of the Project shall at any time
constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses. The Full
Replacement Cost shall be redetermined from time to time (but not
more frequently than once in any twenty-four (24) calendar months)
at the request of Administrative Agent by an appraiser or
contractor designated by Borrower and reasonably approved by
Administrative Agent, or by an engineer or appraiser in the regular
employ of the insurer. The cost of such appraisal shall be paid by
Administrative Agent unless an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, in which case such cost shall be paid by
Borrower. After the first appraisal, additional appraisals may be
based on construction cost
46
indices
customarily employed in the trade. No omission on the part of
Administrative Agent to request any such ascertainment shall
relieve Borrower of any of its obligations under this
Section 3.1(1)(a) ;
(b) commercial
general liability insurance against claims for personal injury,
bodily injury, death or property damage (including liabilities as a
result of repairs and alterations) occurring upon, in or about the
Project, such insurance (i) to be on the so called
“occurrence” form with a combined single limit of not
less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general
aggregate; (ii) to continue at not less than the aforesaid
limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason
of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate;
and (iii) to cover at least the following hazards:
(A) premises and operations; (B) products and completed
operations on an “if any” basis and for a period of not
less than five (5) years after the completion of construction
of the applicable Improvements; (C) independent contractors;
(D) blanket contractual liability for all “insured
contracts” as defined in the standard general liability

definition of “insured contracts”;
(c) business
income/loss of rents insurance (i) with loss payable to
Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders);
(ii) covering all risks required to be covered by the
insurance provided for in Section 3.1(1)(a) hereof;
(iii) in an amount equal to 100% of the projected gross income
from the Project (on an actual loss sustained basis) for a period
continuing until the Restoration of the Project is completed; the
amount of such business income/loss of rents insurance shall be
determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year
thereafter based on the greater of (x) Borrower’s
reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Project, and
(y) the highest gross income received during the term of the
Notes for any full calendar year prior to the date the amount of
such insurance is being determined (or such lesser period as may
have expired from the date of substantial completion of the
applicable Improvements to the date the amount of such insurance is
being determined), in each case for the succeeding eighteen
(18) month period and (D) containing an extended period
of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical
loss to the improvements and the personal property has been
repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such
income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the
loss, or the expiration of twenty-four (24) months from the
date that the Project, is repaired or replaced and operations are
resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the
policy may expire prior to the end of such period. All insurance
proceeds payable to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the
Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.1(1)(c) shall be
held by Administrative Agent and shall be applied to the
obligations secured hereunder from time to time due and payable
hereunder and under the Notes and this Agreement; provided ,
however , that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured
hereunder on the respective dates of payment provided for in the
Notes and this Agreement except to the extent such amounts are
actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income/loss of
rents insurance;
(d) when
required by Administrative Agent or at the discretion of Borrower,
at all times prior to the completion of construction of the
Improvements, the insurance provided for in Section
3.1(1)(a) shall be written in a so called builder’s risk
completed value form (i) on a non reporting basis,
(ii) against all risks insured against pursuant to
Section
47
3.1(1)(a) ,(iii) shall include permission to occupy the
Project, and (4) shall contain an agreed amount endorsement
waiving co-insurance provisions, and shall also include coverage

of New York;
(f) comprehensive
boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall
be reasonably required by Administrative Agent on terms consistent
with the commercial property insurance policy required under
Section 3.1(1)(a) ;
(g) if
any portion of the Improvements is at any time located in an area
identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or any
successor thereto as an area having special flood hazards pursuant
to the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act
of 1994, as each may be amended, or any successor law (the “
Flood Insurance Acts ”), flood hazard insurance
in an amount not less than the greater of (A) the maximum
limit of coverage available with respect to the Project, under
Policies issued pursuant to the Flood Insurance Acts, subject only
to customary deductibles under such Policies, and (B) the
maximum limit of coverage available with respect to the Project,
under Policies issued by private insurance carriers;
(h) earthquake
insurance (based on probable maximum loss) in amounts and in form
and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, provided that
the insurance pursuant to this Section 3.1(1)(h) hereof
shall be on terms consistent with the all risk insurance policy
required under Section 3.1(1)(a) hereof;
(i) umbrella
liability insurance in an amount not less than $100,000,000 per
occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general
liability insurance policy required under Section 3.1(1)(b)

specified in Schedule 3.1(1)(j) attached hereto;
(k) secured
creditor’s environmental insurance, insuring against unknown
environmental hazards and conditions in amounts and in form and
substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, which shall name
the Administrative Agent as a loss payee or additional insured, as

(l) such
other insurance and in such amounts as Administrative Agent from
time to time may request against such other insurable hazards which
at the time are available on commercially reasonably terms for
properties located in or around the region where the Project is
located and are customarily required by institutional lenders with
respect to projects similar to the Project.
(2) All
insurance provided in compliance with Section 3.1(1)(a)
hereof shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the
“ Policies ” or in the singular, the
“ Policy ”), in such forms and, from time
to time after the date hereof, in such amounts as may be
satisfactory to Administrative Agent, issued by financially sound
and responsible insurance companies permitted to do business in the
state of New York and reasonably approved by Administrative Agent.
The insurance companies must have a claims paying ability/financial
strength rating of “AX” (or its equivalent) or better
by A.M. Best. No Policy shall contain an exclusion from coverage
under such Policy for loss or damage incurred as a result of an act
of terrorism or similar acts of sabotage, provided that Borrower
may obtain separate Terrorism Insurance coverage subject to and in
accordance with the terms of this Section 3.1(2) .
Borrower will be required to maintain insurance against terrorism,
terrorist acts or similar acts of sabotage (“ Terrorism
Insurance ”) with coverage amounts of not less than
an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the improvements
and the personal property (the “ Terrorism Insurance
Required Amount ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing
sentence, Borrower shall not be obligated to expend in any fiscal
year on Insurance Premiums for Terrorism Insurance more than two
(2.0) times the then-current annual premium paid by Borrower for
the comprehensive all-risk insurance required under subsection
3.1(1)(a) hereof (the “ Terrorism Insurance
Cap ”) and if the cost of the Terrorism Insurance
Required Amount exceeds the Terrorism Insurance Cap, Borrower shall
purchase the maximum amount of Terrorism Insurance available with
funds equal to the Terrorism Insurance Cap; provided ,
however , the Terrorism Insurance Cap shall not apply or
restrict the amount of terrorism coverage required to be obtained
and maintained by this subsection (x) with respect to the
Project if (a) owners and/or operators of mixed-use
retail/office buildings in the same class as the Project in Bronx,
New York are generally obtaining terrorism insurance,
(b) lenders financing such mixed-use retail/office properties
in the same class as the Project in Bronx, New York are generally
requiring terrorism insurance as a condition of financing, or (c)
Borrower or Sponsor or any Affiliate of Borrower or Sponsor, is
obtaining terrorism insurance on any other properties in Bronx, New
York of which any of the foregoing Persons own or operate. Not less
than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration dates of the
Policies theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant to
Section 3.1(1) hereof, Lead Borrower shall deliver to
Administrative Agent insurance certificates showing payment of all
premiums (the “ Insurance Premiums ”) for
such Policies, which certificates shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Within sixty
(60) days following the expiration
49
dates of
the Policies, Lead Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent
certified copies of such Policies marked “premium paid”
or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent of
payment of the Insurance Premiums.
(3) Borrower
shall not obtain (a) any umbrella or blanket liability or
casualty Policy unless, in each case, such Policy is approved in
advance in writing by Administrative Agent and Lenders’
interest is included therein as provided in this Agreement, or
(b) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in
the event of loss with that required in Section 3.1(1)
to be furnished by, or which may be required to be furnished by,
Borrower. In the event Borrower obtains separate insurance or an
umbrella or a blanket policy, Lead Borrower shall notify
Administrative Agent of the same and shall cause certified copies
of each Policy to be delivered as required in
Section 3.1(1) .
(4) All
Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 3.1(1)
hereof, except for the Policy referenced in
Section 3.1(1)(e) , shall name Administrative Agent
(for the benefit of the Lenders) as additional insured under
liability policies and as mortgagee/loss payee under property
policies, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case
of property, boiler and machinery, and flood insurance, shall
contain a so called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee
clause in favor of Administrative Agent providing that the loss
thereunder shall be payable to Administrative Agent in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.
(5) All
Policies provided for in Section 3.1(1)(a) hereof shall
contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(a) no
willful act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for
Borrower, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy
which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or
any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or
enforceability of the insurance insofar as Administrative Agent is
concerned;
(b) the
Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the
coverage provided thereby) or cancelled without at least thirty
(30) days’ written notice (or ten (10) days’
written notice, in the case of non payment of premium) to
Administrative Agent and any other party named therein as an
insured;
(c) each
Policy shall provide that the issuers thereof shall give written
notice to Administrative Agent if the Policy has not been renewed
fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and
(d) Administrative
Agent shall not be liable for any insurance premiums thereon or
subject to any assessments thereunder.
(6) If
at any time Administrative Agent is not in receipt of written
evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and
effect, Administrative Agent shall have the right, on five
(5) Business Days’ notice to Lead Borrower to take such
action as Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect its
interest in the Project, including, without limitation, the
obtaining of such insurance coverage as Administrative Agent in its
sole and absolute discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses
incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with such action or
in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be
paid
50
by
Borrower to Administrative Agent upon demand and until paid shall
be secured by the Security Documents and shall bear interest at the
Default Rate.
(7) In
the event of a foreclosure of the Mortgages, or other transfer of
title to Project in extinguishment in whole or in part of the
Loans, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the
Policies then in force and all proceeds payable thereunder shall
thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lenders or
other transferee in the event of such other transfer of
title.
(8) Lead
Borrower shall give immediate written notice of any loss in excess
of $100,000 to the insurance carrier and to Administrative Agent.
In connection with losses in excess of $100,000, but less than or
equal to $2,000,000, Borrower and Administrative Agent shall
cooperate in all matters related to the loss including, without
limitation, making proof of loss, adjusting and compromising any
claim under the insurance policies, appearing in and prosecuting
any action arising from such insurance policies, and collecting and
receiving insurance proceeds. In connection with losses in excess
of $2,000,000, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers
Administrative Agent, as attorney in fact for Borrower coupled with
an interest, to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any
claim under insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any
action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive
insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Administrative
Agent’s expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds.
Nothing contained in this Section 3.1(8) , however,
shall require Administrative Agent or any Lender to incur any
expense or take any action hereunder.
Section 3.2 Condemnation
Awards . Lead Borrower shall immediately notify Administrative
Agent of the institution of any proceeding for the condemnation or
other taking of the Project or any portion thereof. Administrative
Agent may participate in any such proceeding and Lead Borrower will
deliver to Administrative Agent all instruments necessary or
required by Administrative Agent to permit such participation.
Without Administrative Agent’s prior consent (subject to the
approval of the Majority Lenders), Borrower (1) shall not
agree to any compensation or award, and (2) shall not take any
action or fail to take any action which would cause the
compensation to be determined. All awards and compensation for the
taking or purchase in lieu of condemnation of the Project or any
part thereof are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to
Administrative Agent. Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent to
collect and receive such awards and compensation, to give proper
receipts and acquittances therefor, and in Administrative
Agent’s sole discretion (which Administrative Agent shall
exercise at the direction of the Majority Lenders) to apply the
same toward the payment of the Loans, notwithstanding that the
Loans may not then be due and payable, or to the restoration of the
Project; provided , however , if the award is less
than or equal to the Threshold Amount and Borrower requests that
such proceeds be used for non structural site improvements (such as
landscape, driveway, walkway and parking area repairs) required to
be made as a result of such condemnation, Administrative Agent will
apply the award to such restoration in accordance with the terms
applicable to insurance proceeds set forth in Section 3.3 .
Borrower, upon request by Administrative Agent, shall execute all
instruments requested to confirm the assignment of the awards and
compensation to Administrative Agent, free and clear of all liens,
charges or encumbrances.
51
Section 3.3 Use and
Application of Insurance Proceeds . Administrative Agent shall
apply insurance proceeds to costs of restoring the Project or the
Loans as follows:
(1) if
the loss is less than or equal to the Threshold Amount,
Administrative Agent shall promptly apply the insurance proceeds to
restoration provided (a) no Event of Default exists, and
(b) Borrower promptly commences and is diligently pursuing
restoration of the Project;
(2) if
the loss exceeds the Threshold Amount but is not more than ten
percent (10%) of the replacement value of the Improvements (for
projects containing multiple phases or stand alone structures, such
calculation to be based on the damaged phase or structure, not the
project as a whole), Administrative Agent shall apply the insurance
proceeds to restoration provided that at all times during such
restoration (a) no Event of Default exists;
(b) Administrative Agent determines that there are sufficient
funds including Borrower’s equity available to restore and
repair the Project to a condition reasonably approved by
Administrative Agent; (c) Administrative Agent reasonably
determines that any operating deficits, including all debt service,
which will be incurred with respect to the Project following any
such loss and until the restoration has been completed, will be
covered out of (A) the insurance proceeds, (B) the
proceeds of business interruption insurance, if applicable,
(C) Net Operating Income of the Project or (D) by other
funds of Borrower; (d) Administrative Agent reasonably
determines that all Major Leases will remain in effect after
restoration is complete; (e) Administrative Agent determines
that restoration and repair of the Project to a condition
reasonably approved by Administrative Agent will be completed prior
to the Completion Date; (f) Borrower promptly commences and is
diligently pursuing restoration of the Project; and (g) if
still applicable, Administrative Agent shall have unilaterally
determined that the Guaranty of Completion shall remain in full
force and effect during the period of restoration, or Guarantor
shall have executed and delivered to Administrative Agent a
guaranty of completion with respect to all restoration in
substantially the same form as the Guaranty of Completion and
otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent;
(3) if
the conditions set forth above are not satisfied or the loss
exceeds the maximum amount specified in Section 3.3(2)
above, Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (subject to
the approval of the Majority Lenders) apply any insurance proceeds
it may receive to the payment of the Loans or allow all or a
portion of such proceeds to be used for the restoration of the
Project.
Section 3.4 Disbursement of
Proceeds.
(1) The
insurance proceeds shall be held by Administrative Agent in a
Controlled Account and shall constitute additional security for the
Loans. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Administrative Agent that all the conditions precedent, including
those set forth in Section 3.3(2) above, have been
satisfied, the insurance proceeds shall be disbursed by
Administrative Agent to, or as directed by, Lead Borrower from time
to time during the course of the restoration in accordance with the
applicable provisions of Article 4 and Schedule 4 of this
Agreement and (to the extent such disbursements are related to
construction costs) the Building Loan Agreement.
52
(2) All
plans and specifications required in connection with the
restoration shall be subject to prior review and reasonable
approval by Administrative Agent and by an independent consulting
engineer selected by Administrative Agent (the “
Restoration Consultant ”); provided ,
however , that if the plans and specifications are
consistent with those attached to the Building Loan Agreement,
Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have approved such plans
and specifications. Administrative Agent shall have the
non-exclusive use of the plans and specifications and all permits,
licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the
restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and
materialmen engaged in the restoration, as well as all Major
Contracts, shall be subject to prior review and reasonable approval
by Administrative Agent and the Restoration Consultant. All
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in
connection with making the insurance proceeds available for the
restoration including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and
the Restoration Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
Borrower shall also obtain, at its sole cost and expense, all
necessary government approvals as and when required in connection
with such restoration and provide copies thereof to Administrative
Agent and Restoration Consultant.
(3) In
no event shall Administrative Agent be obligated to make
disbursements of the insurance proceeds in excess of an amount
equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in
place as part of the restoration, as certified by the Restoration
Consultant, minus the Retainage. Administrative Agent shall
establish, maintain and release any Retainage in accordance with
the terms of the Building Loan Agreement.
(4) Administrative
Agent shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the insurance
proceeds more frequently than once per month.
(5) If
at any time the insurance proceeds or the undisbursed balance
thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative
Agent in consultation with the Restoration Consultant, be
sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are
estimated by the Restoration Consultant to be incurred in
connection with the completion of the restoration, Borrower shall
deposit the deficiency (the “ Insurance Proceeds
Deficiency ”) with, or deliver a Collateral Letter of
Credit in the amount of such deficiency to, Administrative Agent
within ten (10) Business Days of Administrative Agent’s
request and before any further disbursement of the insurance
proceeds shall be made. The Insurance Proceeds Deficiency shall be
held in a Controlled Account and shall be disbursed for costs
actually incurred in connection with the restoration on the same
conditions applicable to the disbursement of the insurance
proceeds, and, until so disbursed, shall constitute additional
security for the Loans.
(6) After
the Restoration Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that a
restoration has been substantially completed in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 3.4 , and the receipt by
Administrative Agent of evidence satisfactory to Administrative
Agent that all costs incurred in connection with the restoration
have been paid in full, the excess, if any, of the insurance
proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Insurance
Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Administrative Agent shall, so
long as no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred, be
paid to Lead Borrower. If a Potential Default or Event of Default
has occurred, the remaining balance of the Insurance Proceeds
Deficiency shall be applied to repayment of the Loans.
53
(7) All
insurance proceeds not required (i) to be made available for
the restoration or (ii) to be returned to Lead Borrower as excess
insurance proceeds pursuant to subsection (6) above may
(A) be retained and applied by Administrative Agent toward the
payment of the Loans, whether or not then due and payable, in such
order, priority and proportions as Administrative Agent in its sole
discretion shall deem proper, or, (B) at the sole discretion
of Administrative Agent, the same may be paid, either in whole or
in part, to Lead Borrower for such purposes and upon such
conditions as Administrative Agent shall designate.
(8) Notwithstanding
any casualty, Borrower shall continue to make payments with respect
to the outstanding principal amount in the manner provided in the
Notes, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the
outstanding principal amount shall not be reduced unless and until
(i) any insurance proceeds or condemnation award shall have
been actually received by Administrative Agent,
(ii) Administrative Agent shall have deducted its reasonable
expenses of collecting such proceeds and (iii) Administrative
Agent shall have applied any portion of the balance thereof to the
repayment of the outstanding principal amount in accordance with
Section 4.3 . The Lenders shall not be limited to the
interest paid on any condemnation award but shall continue to be
entitled to receive interest as provided in Article 2
.
ARTICLE 4
DISBURSEMENTS OF THE LOANS
Section 4.1 General
Conditions.
(1) Subject
to (a) Borrower’s satisfaction of the applicable
conditions precedent set forth in Schedule 4 and
(b) Borrower’s compliance with the applicable provisions
of this Article 4 , the Lenders shall disburse the proceeds
of the Acquisition Loan on the Closing Date and the proceeds of
each other Loan within ten (10) Business Days after
Administrative Agent’s receipt of all of the documents and
items to be delivered or received pursuant to
Schedule 4 and this Article 4 ;
provided , however , that at no time shall the
Lenders be obligated to:
(i)
advance to Lead Borrower more than the amount that Borrower has
funded from its own monies or an existing loan or is then required
to fund to the party seeking payment or, in the case of
reimbursement, to the party seeking reimbursement (subject to
Retainage, if applicable),
(ii)
make an advance if the Loans are not In Balance in accordance with
Section 4.3 ,
(iii)
subject to possible reallocation in accordance with
Section 4.5 , advance proceeds of a Loan in an amount
in excess of the Budget Line Items set forth in the Budget, as the
same may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, or
(iv)
make any Loans to the extent any Operating Revenues have not been
applied in accordance with Section 4.6(1) .
54
(2) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Lenders
shall have no obligation to advance any Loan unless Administrative
Agent is, at all times, satisfied that the Improvements can be
constructed Lien free, substantially in accordance with the Plans
and Specifications (or the Tenant Improvement Plans in the case of
Tenant Improvement Work) for the sums set forth in the Budget (or,
if more, Borrower has furnished the difference in cash or cash
equivalents, subject to the provisions of Section 4.3 ,
Section 4.4 and Section 4.5 ), by the Completion
Date or, with respect to Tenant Improvement Work, such date as
shall be required for the completion of the applicable Tenant
Improvement Work under an Approved Lease. Administrative Agent will
endeavor to give notice to Lead Borrower of its intention not to
authorize disbursement of any Loan proceeds based on the foregoing,
but neither the Lenders nor Administrative Agent shall have any
liability hereunder should Administrative Agent fail to do so, and
no failure by Administrative Agent to give such notice shall affect
Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights under
this subsection (2) . Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if such applicable conditions precedent are not satisfied
for the full required disbursement, then, to the extent that the
amounts in any Request for Loan Advance are broken down such that
Administrative Agent is satisfied that all of the above conditions
are met with respect to a portion of any Loan advance, the Lenders
shall advance such portion of the requested Loan advance.
Section 4.2 Procedure for
Making Disbursements of Loan Proceeds.
(1) After
the Closing Date, disbursements shall be made from time to time as
construction progresses pursuant to a request for advance in the
applicable form attached hereto as Exhibit F (each, a “
Request for Loan Advance ”), but no more
frequently than once in each calendar month.
(2) Each
Request for Loan Advance with respect to Loans shall (a) be
duly executed by an Authorized Officer on behalf of Lead Borrower,
(b) be submitted to Administrative Agent and the Construction
Consultant not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the
proposed disbursement date for such Loans, (c) specify the
items to be paid or reimbursed with the proceeds of the requested
Loans, (d) include the documentation required to be included
therewith under Schedule 4 and (e) be in the minimum
amounts required under Section 2.6(3) .
(3) All
advances of the Loans shall be made for the payment of Project
Costs in accordance with the Budget upon Borrower’s
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in this
Article 4 and Schedule 4 — Parts A
and B , as applicable.
(4) In
the event Lead Borrower does not request a disbursement within
thirty (30) days after the previous disbursement of a Loan,
Borrower shall nonetheless within such thirty (30) day period
and during each subsequent thirty (30) day period in which
Lead Borrower does not request a disbursement of the Loan, satisfy
the conditions precedent to disbursements set forth in this
Agreement.
Section 4.3 Loan
Balancing.
(1) Borrower
represents that the Budget sets forth all anticipated costs to be
incurred by Borrower in connection with the ownership, development,
construction, financing,
55
marketing, maintenance and leasing of the Improvements, from time
to time through the Maturity Date as extended pursuant to
Section 2.5 hereof. Borrower further agrees as
follows:
(a) Subject
to reallocations pursuant to Section 4.4 and
Section 4.5 , if at any time, the projected costs
anticipated to be incurred for any item of Construction Work or for
the ownership, development, financing, marketing, maintenance or
leasing of the Improvements through the Maturity Date exceed the
amount set forth in the Budget for such item (as the same may be
adjusted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), as
determined by Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant
in their reasonable discretion (including any such determination
that the undisbursed Loan proceeds allocated for the payment of
future interest (the “ Interest Reserve
”) is insufficient) based on factors, including, but not
limited to, (1) Administrative Agent’s projections of
interest rates for period(s) up to and including the full remaining
term of the Loan (and permitted extensions); (2) the effect of
any Hedge Agreement; (3) cost overruns or Change Orders; or
(4) failure of the Improvements to lease at the rate of
absorption or otherwise at rates and terms projected by Borrower,
then the Loans shall be deemed not “In Balance.”
(b) If
the Loans are deemed not “In Balance,” then Borrower
shall, at Administrative Agent’s option, within ten
(10) Business Days after written notice from Administrative
Agent either (a) deposit with Administrative Agent an amount
sufficient to cover such deficiency (a “ Deficiency
Deposit ”), which Deficiency Deposit shall be
deposited with Administrative Agent in the Controlled Account (the
“ Deficiency Deposit Account ”),
(b) make one or more equity contributions to be used by
Borrower to pay costs that will bring the Loans In Balance (an
“ Equity Balancing Contribution ”), or
(c) deliver a Collateral Letter of Credit in an amount such
that the available proceeds thereunder would be sufficient to bring
the Loans In Balance and upon which Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to draw in compliance with the provisions set forth below
in this Section 4.3 . Administrative Agent shall not be
required to authorize any disbursement of any Loans before
receiving (i) payment of any such Deficiency Deposit into the
Deficiency Deposit Account and the prior application of such
Deficiency Deposit to the payment of Project Costs so as to bring
the Loans In Balance, (ii) verification that an Equity
Balancing Contribution has been made and the proceeds thereof used
for the payment of Project Costs on account of the Improvements, so
as to bring the Loans In Balance or (iii) a Collateral Letter
of Credit as set forth above. Failure of Borrower to provide
satisfactory verification of an Equity Balancing Contribution or
deliver a Deficiency Letter of Credit as required above shall be
deemed Borrower’s election to make a Deficiency Deposit. The
Deficiency Deposit shall be allocated to the Project Loan Budget
and the Budget, as applicable, and shall be applied to the payment
of Project Costs on account of the Improvements prior to any
further disbursement of the Loans.
(c) The
balances of the applicable Contingency Fund from time to time shall
not be considered for purposes of determining whether the Loans are
In Balance.
(2) If
an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Administrative
Agent (subject to the provisions of Section 14.3 ) may,
at its option, in addition to exercising any other rights or
remedies available under the Loan Documents, (A) apply any
unexpended Deficiency Deposit to (or draw on any Collateral Letter
of Credit to pay) the costs of completion of the Improvements
and/or (B) apply any unexpended Deficiency Deposit to (or draw
on any
56
Collateral Letter of Credit for application of the sums drawn
thereunder to) the immediate reduction of any amounts due under the
Notes and the other Loan Documents. With respect to any Collateral
Letter of Credit that Borrower may furnish or cause to be furnished
to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this
Section 4.3 :
(a) Administrative
Agent will be entitled, among other things, to make one or more
draws pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement or the
Building Loan Agreement, as applicable, by presentment thereof to
the issuing bank accompanied only by Administrative Agent’s
clean sight-draft, it being intended that the issuing bank shall
have no right to inquire as to Administrative Agent’s right
to draw upon such Collateral Letter of Credit;
(b) Administrative
Agent shall be entitled, among other things, to draw upon each
Collateral Letter of Credit pursuant to this Agreement or the
Building Loan Agreement, as applicable, in whole, or in part from
time to time, to the extent (without taking into account the
Collateral Letter of Credit) the Loan is not In Balance,
(i) in order to pay any costs not covered by Loan proceeds,
Equity Balancing Contributions or Deficiency Deposits or
(ii) upon any Event of Default; and
(c) Administrative
Agent shall have the right to draw upon any Collateral Letter of
Credit within ten (10) Business Days prior to the expiration
date of such Collateral Letter of Credit and each renewal and
extension thereof unless, prior to such expiration date of such
Collateral Letter of Credit and each renewal and extension thereof,
Borrower shall have furnished a replacement, extension or renewal
Collateral Letter of Credit, acceptable to Administrative Agent, it
being the intent hereof that at no time shall the unexpired term of
any Collateral Letter of Credit be less than ten (10) Business
Days. If Administrative Agent draws upon a Collateral Letter of
Credit pursuant to the terms hereof, then Administrative Agent
shall hold the proceeds thereof in a Controlled Account as a
Deficiency Deposit. Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to
draw upon a Collateral Letter of Credit if the credit rating of the
issuing bank no longer meets the standard required of a Collateral
Letter of Credit and Borrower does not deliver to Administrative
Agent a replacement letter of credit that otherwise conforms to the
requirements for Deficiency Letters of Credit within ten
(10) days following notice of the same from Administrative
Agent, or if Administrative Agent reasonably believes that its
rights to draw on such Collateral Letter of Credit are in imminent
jeopardy of not being honored.
Section 4.4 Budget
Contingencies . The Budget contains line items designated for
contingency for Hard Costs and Soft Costs (collectively, the
“ Contingency Fund ”) which represent
amounts necessary to provide reasonable assurances to
Administrative Agent and the Lenders that funds are available
within the Budget if additional costs, expenses and/or delays are
incurred or additional interest accrues on the Loans, or other
unanticipated events or problems occur. Upon request of Lead
Borrower, Administrative Agent may, in its reasonable discretion,
re-allocate a portion of the Contingency Fund to cover cost
overruns, cost of change orders, additional interests and other
anticipated costs based upon the percentage of completion of the
Construction Work (e.g. (and as an example only) fifty percent
(50%) of the Contingency Fund may be allocated when the project is
fifty percent (50%) complete). Any such re-allocation shall reduce,
by the amount of such re-allocation, the amount of the Contingency
Fund available to be allocated thereafter. Subject to the
foregoing, Borrower agrees that the decisions with respect to
57
utilizing any portion of the Contingency Fund shall be made by
Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion and that the
Loans may not be In Balance, and Borrower may be required to make a
Deficiency Deposit or Equity Balancing Contribution, even if funds
remain in the Contingency Fund.
Section 4.5 Budget Line
Items . The Budget includes as line items (collectively,
“ Budget Line Items ”) the cost of all
labor, materials, equipment, fixtures and furnishings needed for
the completion of all Construction Work, and all other costs, fees
and expenses relating in any way whatsoever to the Construction
Work and the operation of the Project. Borrower agrees that all
Loans shall be used only for the Budget Line Items for which such
Loans are made (as re-allocated from time to time in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement). Borrower agrees that, while an
Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent may, at any time and
from time to time without prior written notice to Lead Borrower or
Borrower, authorize the disbursement of the Budget Line Items for
the purposes for which they have been set aside, or for any other
purposes related to the Construction Work or otherwise provided for
in the Budget as Administrative Agent may determine, either by
payment of such items or by reimbursement to Borrower for payments
actually made by Borrower for such items. Administrative Agent
shall not be obligated to authorize the disbursement of any amount
for any category of costs set forth as a Budget Line Item which is
greater than the amount set forth for such category in the
applicable Budget Line Item; provided, however, that subject to
Administrative Agent’s prior reasonable consent, Borrower may
apply savings from one Budget Line Item to cost overruns in another
Budget Line Item or to the Contingency Fund, or to any other
unbudgeted Project Cost provided (a) there are no Potential
Defaults or Events of Defaults existing, (b) all costs to be
paid out of the Budget Line Item from which funds are being
re-allocated have been paid or sufficient sums remain in said line
item to pay such costs when the same become due, (c) said
savings are actual savings and are documented or otherwise
established to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent and the
Construction Consultant in their reasonable discretion,
(d) such reallocation will not violate the provisions of the
Lien Law or affect the priority of the Mortgages on the Project and
(e) Administrative Agent, at Borrower’s sole cost and
expense, obtains endorsements to the Title Policies insuring
against “any statutory lien for services, labor or materials
furnished or contracted for prior to the date hereof i.e. ,
the date of such endorsement (or any statutory lien for services,
labor or materials furnished after the date hereof, the priority of
which lien relates back to services, labor or materials furnished
or contracted for prior to the date hereof), and which has now
gained or which may hereafter gain priority over the estate or
interest of the insured as shown in Schedule A of this
policy,” as a result of the reallocation of such Budget Line
Item; provided , however , the Borrower shall not
reallocate any portion of the Soft Costs Budget Line Items which
have been allocated to the payment of real estate taxes and the
interest reserve.
Section 4.6 Interest; Fees;
and Expenses.
(1) Included
in the Budget are projected amounts for (a) interest on the
Loans, (b) the Agency Fee, (c) the fees and expenses of
the Construction Consultant, Administrative Agent’s counsel
and the Title Company and (d) the fees and expenses related to
the recording of the Mortgages. Subject to Borrower’s
compliance with all of the conditions set forth in
Schedule 4 and this Article 4 , Lead
Borrower may in any Request for Loan Advance request advances for
the purpose of paying the aforesaid items due at such time, in
which event Administrative Agent
58
shall be
authorized and is hereby directed to disburse the amount thereof to
the Persons entitled to such payments. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, Lead Borrower shall not have the right to request the
advance of any Loans for any items covered by clauses (a)
through (d) above to the extent Operating Revenues are
available to pay such items.
(2) Borrower
hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of
any Loan to pay (a) interest accrued on the Notes,
(b) the Agency Fees, (c) the fees and expenses of the
Construction Consultant, Administrative Agent’s counsel and
the Title Company, (d) any expenses payable in accordance with
Section 9.28 , and (e) any Date Down Endorsements,
notwithstanding that Lead Borrower may not have requested a
disbursement of such amounts.
(3) Subject
to the provisions of Section 14.3 , Administrative
Agent in its sole and absolute discretion may (but shall not be
obligated to do so) direct the Lenders to make such Loans for
disbursements authorized under this Section 4.6
notwithstanding that the Loans are not In Balance or that a
Potential Default or Event of Default exists under the terms of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Such disbursements shall
constitute a Loan and be added to the principal balance of the
Notes, and the Lenders shall make the applicable Loans to fund any
such disbursements. The authorization hereby granted is
irrevocable, and no further direction, authorization or Request for
Loan Advance from Lead Borrower is necessary for the Lenders to
make such disbursements. Nothing contained in this
Section 4.6 shall require Administrative Agent to
direct the Lenders to make Loans for payment of any of the items
set forth in subsection (2) above if the other conditions
set forth in this Agreement for Loans are not satisfied.
Section 4.7

the terms of the applicable Approved Lease (any such approval or
disapproval to be made by the Administrative Agent within a
reasonably sufficient time for Borrower to comply with any time
limits set forth in the applicable Approved Lease for
Borrower’s response):
(a) Borrower
shall have promptly furnished to the Administrative Agent and the
Construction Consultant all documents and other information
relating to such Tenant Improvement Allowance which Borrower is
entitled to receive pursuant to and in accordance with the

Approved Lease for Borrower’s response):
(a) The
applicable work covered by a Tenant Improvement Allowance has been

60
Section 4.9 Direct Loan
Advances by Administrative Agent . The Lenders shall, at the
option of Administrative Agent, advance all or any part of any
particular Loan either (1) to Lead Borrower for disbursement
in accordance with a Request for Loan Advance, (2) while any
Event of Default exists, directly to the Construction Manager, a
Major Contractor, other contractor, subcontractor, material
supplier or other party any costs payable to such party,
(3) after an Event of Default, at Borrower’s expense, to
the Title Company which shall pay said monies to the parties as so
instructed by Administrative Agent or (4) as contemplated by
Section 1.01(d) of the Completion Guaranty (whether the
applicable work is being performed by Guarantor or Administrative
Agent). The execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall, and
hereby does, constitute an irrevocable authorization to the Lenders
to make such direct advances provided for in clauses (2),
(3) and (4) above and no further authorization from
Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such direct advances, and
all such direct advances shall be secured by the Security Documents
as fully as if made directly to Borrower, regardless of the
disposition thereof by any party so paid. After an Event of
Default, at Administrative Agent’s request, any advance of
Loan proceeds made by and through the Title Company may be made
pursuant to a construction escrow agreement reasonably approved by
Administrative Agent. Borrower agrees to join as a party to such
escrow agreement and to comply with the requirements set forth
therein (which shall be in addition to and not in substitution for
the requirements contained in this Agreement) and to pay the fees
and expenses of the Title Company charged in connection with the
performance of its duties under such construction escrow
agreement.
Section 4.10 No Waiver or
Approval by Reason of Loan Advances . The making of any Loans
by the Lenders shall not be deemed an acceptance or approval by
Administrative Agent or the Lenders (for the benefit of Borrower or
any third party) of the Construction Work or other work theretofore
done or constructed or to the Lenders’ obligations to make
further Loans, nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any
condition, shall any such failure to insist upon strict compliance
have the effect of precluding Administrative Agent or the Lenders
from thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default
as herein provided. Administrative Agent’s and/or the
Lenders’ waiver of, or failure to enforce, any conditions to
or requirements associated with any Loans in any one or more
circumstances shall not constitute or imply a waiver of such
conditions or requirements in any other circumstances.
Section 4.11 Authorization
to Make Loan Advances to Cure Borrower’s Defaults . If an
Event of Default shall occur, Administrative Agent (subject to the
provisions of Section 14.3 ) may (but shall not be
required to) perform any of such covenants and agreements with
respect to which Borrower is in Event of Default. Any amounts
expended by Administrative Agent in so doing and any amounts
expended by Administrative Agent in connection therewith shall
constitute a Loan and be added to the outstanding principal balance
of the Loans, and the Lenders shall make the applicable Loans to
fund any such disbursements. The authorization hereby granted is
irrevocable, and no prior notice to or further direction or
authorization from Borrower is necessary for Administrative Agent
to make such disbursements.
Section 4.12 Designation of
Lead Borrower as Agent for Borrower .
(1) Each
Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead
Borrower as that Borrower’s agent to obtain loans and
advances under the Loan, the proceeds of which shall be available
to each Borrower as set forth herein. As the disclosed principal
for its
61
agent,
each Borrower shall be obligated to the Agent and the Lenders on
account of loans and advances so made under the Loan as if made
directly by the Lenders to that Borrower, notwithstanding the
manner by which such loans and advances are recorded on the books
and records of the Lead Borrower and/or of any Borrower (including,
without limitation, on account of any such treatment of said loan
or advance as an equity investment in a Borrower by Lead
Borrower).
(2) Each
Borrower recognizes that credit available to it under the Loan is
in excess of and on better terms than it otherwise could obtain on
and for its own account and that one of the reasons therefor is its
joining in the credit facility contemplated herein with all other
Borrowers. Consequently, each Borrower, jointly and severally,
hereby assumes and agrees fully, faithfully, and punctually to
discharge all obligations of all of the Borrowers under the Loan
Documents.
(3) The
Lead Borrower shall act as a conduit for each Borrower (including
itself, as a “Borrower”) on whose behalf the Lead
Borrower has requested a loan or other advance under the
Loan.
(4) The
proceeds of each loan and advance provided under the Loan which is
requested by the Lead Borrower shall be deposited into an account
in the name of the Lead Borrower or as otherwise indicated by the
Lead Borrower. The Lead Borrower shall cause the transfer of the
proceeds thereof to the Borrower(s) on whose behalf such loan and
advance was obtained. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have
any obligation to see to the application of such proceeds.
(5) Each
Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead
Borrower as that Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to act in the
Borrower’s name and stead and to do and perform all matters,
to grant to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a security
interest in the Collateral, transact all business, and make,
execute and acknowledge all Loan Documents and other instruments
relating to this Agreement including but not limited to, this
Agreement, the Note, and the Security Documents. The Borrowers
hereby acknowledge and agree that the power of attorney created
hereby is coupled with an interest.
Section 4.13 Administrative
Agent’s Right to Make Loan Advances in Compliance with the
Guaranty of Completion . Any Loan proceeds disbursed by
Administrative Agent as contemplated by Section 1.01(b)
of the Guaranty of Completion (whether the applicable work is being
performed by Guarantor or Administrative Agent) shall constitute a
Loan and be added to the outstanding principal balance of the
Loans, and the Lenders shall make the applicable Loans to fund any
such disbursements. The authorization hereby granted is irrevocable
and no prior notice to or further direction or authorization from
Borrower is necessary for Administrative Agent to make such
disbursements.
Section 4.14 No Third-Party
Benefit . This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the
Lenders, Administrative Agent, Lead Borrower and Borrower. All
conditions of the obligations of the Lenders to make advances
hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of the
Lenders and may be freely waived or modified in whole or in part by
the Lenders at any time if in their sole discretion they deem it
advisable to do so, and no Person other than Lead
62
Borrower
or Borrower( provided , however , that all conditions
have been satisfied) shall have standing to require the Lenders to
make any Loan advances or shall be a beneficiary of this Agreement
or any advances to be made hereunder.
