(a)    Comprehensive “all risk” or “special” cause of loss insurance, including coverage for windstorms and hail, in an amount equal to 100% of the full replacement cost of the Facility, which replacement cost shall be determined by the “Insurable Value” or “Cost Approach to Value” reflected in the most recent Lender approved appraisal for the Facility, without deduction for depreciation. Such insurance shall also include (i) agreed insurance amount endorsement waiving all co-insurance provisions, and (ii) an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” endorsement if the Facility or the use thereof shall constitute a legal non-conforming structure or use.

(i)    If the Facility is located in a seismically active area or an area prone to geologic instability and mine subsidence, Lender may require an inspection by a qualified structural or geological engineer satisfactory to Lender, and at Borrower’s expense. The Facility must be structurally and geologically sound and capable of withstanding normal seismic activity or geological movement. Lender reserves the right to require earthquake insurance or Maximum Probable Loss insurance on a case by case basis in amounts determined by Lender.

 

(j)    Such other insurance coverages as may be deemed necessary at any time during the term of the Loan and as shall be provided within such time periods as Lender may determine, in each case, in its commercially reasonable discretion.

 

All insurance policies shall have a term of not less than one year and shall be in the form and amount and with deductibles as, from time to time, shall be acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion. All such policies shall provide for loss payable solely to Lender and shall contain a standard “non-contributory mortgagee” endorsement or its equivalent relating, among other things, to recovery by Lender notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Borrower and notwithstanding (i) occupancy or use of the Facility for purposes more hazardous than those permitted by the terms of such policy, (ii) any foreclosure or other action taken by Lender pursuant to the Mortgage upon the occurrence of an Event of Default thereunder, or (iii) any change in title or ownership of the Facility.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Borrower shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds covered by and disbursed under the above-referenced comprehensive all risk insurance policy provided such proceeds do not exceed $25,000.00 per occurrence.

 

All insurance policies for the above-required insurance must provide for thirty (30) days prior written notice of cancellation to Lender.

 

 

15


 

Policies or binders, together with evidence of the above required insurance on ACORD Form 27 or its equivalent, must be submitted to Lender prior to setting the interest rate on the Loan.

 

With respect to insurance policies which require payment of premiums annually, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the insurance policies obtained pursuant to this Agreement, Borrower shall pay such amount, except to the extent Lender is escrowing sums therefor pursuant to the Loan Documents. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the insurance policies obtained pursuant to this Agreement, originals or certified copies of renewals of such policies (or certificates evidencing such renewals) bearing notations evidencing the payment of premiums or accompanied by other evidence satisfactory to Lender of such payment, which premiums shall not be paid by Borrower through or by any financing arrangement, shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender at the address set forth in Section 8.7 hereof. Borrower shall not carry separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss, with any insurance required under this Section 4.5. If the limits of any policy required hereunder are reduced or eliminated due to a covered loss, Borrower shall pay the additional premium, if any, in order to have the original limits of insurance reinstated, or Borrower shall purchase new insurance in the same type and amount that existed immediately prior to the loss.

 

If Borrower fails to maintain and deliver to Lender the original policies or certificates of insurance required by this Agreement, Lender may, at its option, procure such insurance and Borrower shall pay or, as the case may be, reimburse Lender for, all premiums thereon promptly, upon demand by Lender, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid by Lender to the date of repayment and such sum shall constitute a part of the Loan Obligations.

 

The insurance required by this Agreement may, at the option of Borrower, be effected by blanket and/or umbrella policies issued to Borrower or to an Affiliate of Borrower covering the Facility and the properties of such Affiliate; provided that, in each case, the policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Agreement and allocate to the Facility, from time to time, the coverage specified by this Agreement, without possibility of reduction or coinsurance by reason of, or damage to, any other property (real or personal) named therein. If the insurance required by this Agreement shall be effected by any such blanket or umbrella policies, Borrower shall furnish to Lender original policies or certified copies thereof, with schedules attached thereto showing the amount of the insurance provided under such policies which is applicable to the Facility.

 

Neither Lender nor its agents or employees shall be liable for any loss or damage insured by the insurance policies required to be maintained under this Agreement; it being understood that (a) Borrower shall look solely to its insurance company for the recovery of such loss or damage, (b) such insurance company shall have no rights of subrogation against Lender, its agents or employees, and (c) Borrower shall use its best efforts to procure from such insurance company a waiver of subrogation rights against Lender. If, however, such insurance policies do not provide for a waiver of subrogation rights against Lender (whether because such a waiver is unavailable or otherwise), then Borrower hereby agrees, to the extent permitted by law and to the extent not prohibited by such insurance policies, to waive its rights of recovery, if any, against Lender, its agents and employees, whether resulting from any damage to the Facility, any

 

 

16


 

liability claim in connection with the Facility or otherwise. If any such insurance policy shall prohibit Borrower from waiving such claims, then Borrower must obtain from such insurance company a waiver of subrogation rights against Lender.

 

Borrower appoints Lender as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, which appointment shall be deemed irrevocable and coupled with an interest, to cause the issuance of an endorsement of any insurance policy to bring Borrower into compliance herewith and, as limited above, at Lender’s sole option, to make any claim for, receive payment for, and execute and endorse any documents, checks or other instruments in payment for loss, theft, or damage covered under any such insurance policy; provided, however, that in no event will Lender be liable for failure to collect any amounts payable under any insurance policy.

or

 

(b)    Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/l00 Dollars ($250,000.00) or more and Lender agrees, at its option, to make such net Proceeds available to Borrower, Lender shall make such net Proceeds available to Borrower on the following terms:

 

(i)    The aggregate amount of all such Proceeds shall not exceed the aggregate amount of all such Loan Obligations;

 

(ii)    At the time of such loss or damage and at all times thereafter while Lender is holding any portion of such Proceeds, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default;

 

(iii)    The Improvements, Equipment, and Inventory to which loss or damage has resulted shall be capable of being restored to its preexisting condition and utility in all material respects with a value equal to or greater than that which existed prior to such loss or damage and such restoration shall be capable of being completed prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the expiration of business interruption insurance as determined by an independent inspector or (ii) the Maturity Date;

 

(iv)    Within thirty (30) days from the date of such loss or damage Borrower shall have given Lender a written notice electing to have the Proceeds applied for such purpose;

 

(v)    Within sixty (60) days following the date of notice under the preceding subparagraph (iv) and prior to any Proceeds being disbursed to Borrower, Borrower shall have provided to Lender all of the following:

(vi)    Lender may, at Borrower’s expense, retain an independent inspector to review and approve plans and specifications and completed construction and to approve all requests for disbursement, which approvals shall be conditions precedent to release of Proceeds as work progresses;

 

(vii)    No portion of such Proceeds shall be made available by Lender for architectural reviews or for any other purposes which are not directly attributable to the cost of repairing, restoring or replacing the Improvements, Equipment and Inventory to which a loss or damage has occurred unless the same are covered by such insurance;

 

(viii)    Borrower shall diligently pursue such work and shall complete such work prior to the earlier to occur of the expiration of business interruption insurance or the Maturity Date;

 

(ix)    Each disbursement by Lender of such Proceeds and deposits shall be funded subject to conditions and in accordance with disbursement procedures which a commercial construction lender would typically establish in the exercise of sound banking practices and shall be made only upon receipt of disbursement requests on an AIA G702/703 form (or similar form approved by Lender) signed and certified by Borrower and, if required by Lender, its architect and general contractor with appropriate invoices and lien waivers as required by Lender; and
