LOAN AGREEMENT

THIS LOAN AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into June 25, 2010, by and between THE ENTITIES SET FORTH ON SCHEDULE 1 (each, a “Borrower” and, collectively, “Borrower”), and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, together with its successors and assigns, and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., together with its successors and assigns (each, a “Co-Lender” and collectively, “Lender”).

R E C I T A L S

Borrower desires to borrow from Lender, and Lender agrees to loan to Borrower, the amounts described below pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, Borrower and Lender agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1. DEFINITIONS

 

1.1 DEFINED TERMS.

Unless otherwise defined in the text of this Agreement, the capitalized terms generally used in this Agreement shall have the meanings defined or referenced in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes.

ARTICLE 2. LOAN; LOAN DOCUMENTS; SECURITY

 

2.1 LOAN.

 

  (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Lender agrees to lend to Borrower, and Borrower agrees to borrow from Lender, the maximum principal sum of TWO HUNDRED NINETY-TWO MILLION AND 00/100THS DOLLARS ($292,000,000.00), which sum shall be composed of $185,000,0000.00 as the initial advance (“Initial Advance”) and $107,000,000.00 as the Earn-Out Advance (as defined below), which sums shall be evidenced by the Note. The Loan shall be secured by the security interests and liens granted pursuant to certain of the Security Documents as more particularly set forth therein. Interest shall accrue, and be payable, in respect of the Loan as provided herein below.

 

  (b) Lender shall disburse to the Borrower an amount equal to $107,000,000.00 (the “Earn-Out Advance”) of the Loan provided the Borrower satisfies the following conditions to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction:

 

  (i) No Default exists on the date of disbursement of the Earn-Out Advance;

 

  (ii) Borrower delivers to Lender at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the Earn-Out Advance (the “Earn-Out Disbursement Date”) written notice requesting the Earn-Out Advance, provided, however that the Earn-Out Disbursement Date is no later than sixty (60) days from the date hereof. If any such notice shall have been given by Borrower, Borrower shall be permitted to revoke such notice in writing on or prior to the Earn-Out Disbursement Date, provided Borrower pays all of Lender’s reasonable third party expenses incurred in connection with the proposed Earn-Out Advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the conditions to the Earn-Out Advance set forth in this Section 2.1(b) are satisfied within the sixty (60) day period set forth above, Borrower shall be required to accept the Earn-Out Advance and the Northrop VA Property shall be included as a Property and be encumbered by the liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents;

 

  (iii)

iStar NG LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“LP Owner”) or a Delaware limited liability company wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by TRT NOIP Fixed Real Estate Holdco, a Delaware limited liability company, (either such entity, “Northrop VA Borrower”) shall join each of the Loan Documents as a borrower thereto and shall deliver

 

1


 

to Lender a Deed of Trust and Absolute Assignment of Rents and Leases and Security Agreement (and Fixture Filing), an Absolute Assignment of Leases and Rents and financing statements, each in form and substance as such documents delivered with respect to the other Properties as of the date hereof, encumbering the Northrop VA Property;

 

  (iv) Borrower shall enter into such amendments to the Loan Documents necessary to reflect the Earn-Out Advance, including, but not limited to, amendments to the Mortgages relating to applicable recording and/or intangible taxes for the Properties located at 1600-1601 SW 80th Street, Plantation, Florida, 3201 Columbia Road, Richfield, Ohio, and 11493 Sunset Hills Road, Reston, Virginia;

 

  (v) Borrower shall deliver to Lender a letter executed by Northrop VA waiving its right of first offer to purchase the Northrop VA Property under its Lease in connection with the purchase by Northrop VA Borrower of the Northrop VA Property (or purchase at the closing (1) by TRT NOIP Colshire - McLean GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, of the general partner interests of LP Owner held by iStar NG GenPar Inc., a Delaware corporation and (2) by TRT NOIP Colshire - McLean LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, of the limited partner interests of LP Owner held by iStar NG Inc., a Delaware corporation), which such letter shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion;

 

  (vi) Northrop VA Borrower shall deliver to Lender (1) an officer’s certificate certifying that there have been no material changes to the Northrop VA Property since the date of June 4, 2010, as set forth on that certain survey delivered to Lender prior to the date hereof and (2) title insurance, in form and substance delivered on the date hereof with regards to the other Properties, with respect to the Northrop VA Property (A) insuring that no encumbrances affect the Northrop VA Property other than Permitted Encumbrances (and with respect to clause (b) of the definition of Permitted Encumbrances, no material changes to such encumbrances other than as set forth in that certain pro-forma title policy delivered to Lender on or prior to the date hereof), (B) in the amount of the Earn-Out Advance disbursed to the Borrower, subject to adjustment (up to 125%) in the event a tie-in endorsement is not obtained and (C) shall contain such endorsements as are reasonably required by Lender with respect to the other Properties previously encumbered by the Mortgages;

 

  (vii) Borrower shall deliver to Lender updated tie-in endorsements, me-too endorsements and such other revisions to the title insurance policies issued to Lender on the date hereof with respect to the other Properties to reflect the Earn-Out Advance, to the extent any of the foregoing is available in the states where the Properties are located;

 

  (viii) Northrop VA Borrower shall deliver to Lender with respect to the Northrop VA Property and the Northrop VA Borrower updates to the local law enforceability opinion, the New York enforceability opinion, the insolvency opinion and Delaware state law opinions, each delivered to Lender at closing, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender;

 

  (ix) Borrower shall deliver such other certificates, amendments to organizational documents, and other documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender to reflect the Earn-Out Advance;

 

  (x)

If the Earn-Out Disbursement Date occurs prior to the Due Date occurring in August, 2010, then Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Due Date occurring in August, 2010, the P&I Payment Amount as set forth in clause (ii) of the definition thereof, less an amount equal to interest on the amount of the Earn-Out Advance calculated at the Note Rate for the number of days occurring in July, 2010, prior to the Earn-Out Disbursement Date. If

 

2


 

the Earn-Out Disbursement Date occurs on or after the Due Date occurring in August, 2010, then Borrower shall pay to Lender (A) on the Earn-Out Disbursement Date an amount equal to $101,899.04 which represents the principal payment that would have been due on the Due Date occurring in August, 2010, with respect to the Earn-Out Advance, and (B) on the Due Date occurring in September, 2010, the P&I Payment Amount as set forth in clause (ii) of the definition thereof, less an amount equal to interest on the amount of the Earn-Out Advance calculated at the Note Rate for the number of days occurring in August, 2010 prior to the Earn-Out Disbursement Date; and

 

  (xi) Borrower pays all of Lender’s third-party costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees) with respect to the Earn-Out Advance. Lender shall reasonably cooperate with Borrower in structuring the mortgages and the Earn-Out Advance transaction so as to minimize recordation and mortgage taxes, including such taxes in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and title insurance premiums.

 

2.2 INTEREST; PAYMENTS.

 

  (a) Interest Accrual. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Note shall accrue from the Disbursement Date at the Note Rate calculated on an Actual/360 Basis. For the avoidance of doubt, interest will accrue only on the Initial Advance commencing on the date hereof until such time as the Earn-Out Advance is made.

 

  (b)

Payments. Monthly payments, each in the P&I Payment Amount, shall commence on the First P&I Due Date and continue on each Due Date thereafter. In addition, if the Disbursement Date is not the first (1st) day of a calendar month, an interest-only payment pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be due on the Disbursement Date for interest due from and including the Disbursement Date to the last day of the month ending prior to the First Due Date. On the Maturity Date, all unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full. All interest shall be paid in arrears. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, all payments and deposits due under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made to Lender not later than 2:00 p.m., California time, on the day on which such payment or deposit is due. Any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

  (c) Acknowledgments. Borrower acknowledges that the P&I Payment Amount was determined using a 30/360 Basis despite the fact that interest on the Note accrues on an Actual /360 Basis. Interest calculated on an Actual/360 Basis exceeds interest calculated on a 30/360 Basis and, therefore: (a) a greater portion of each monthly installment of principal and interest will be applied to interest using the Actual/360 Basis than would be the case if interest accrued on a 30/360 Basis; and (b) the unpaid principal balance of the Note on the Maturity Date will be greater using the Actual/360 Basis than would be the case if interest accrued on a 30/360 Basis.

 

  (d) Application of Payments. All payments paid by Borrower to Lender in connection with the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents shall be applied in the order of priority as set forth in the Cash Management Agreement. The P&I Payment Amount shall be applied (a) first, to accrued but unpaid interest on the Note; and (b) second, to the unpaid principal balance of the Note. Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments at any time received by Lender from or on behalf of Borrower, and during the continuance of a Default, Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply any payments to the then due and owing obligations of Borrower in such order of priority as Lender may deem advisable.

 

2.3 LATE CHARGE; DEFAULT RATE.

 

  (a)

Late Charge. If all or any portion of any payment (including, without limitation, any payment of any interest, the P&I Payment Amount, Impounds or other deposit(s)) required hereunder (other than the payment due on the Maturity Date) is not paid or deposited on or before the day on which

 

3


 

the payment is due, Borrower shall pay a late or collection charge, as liquidated damages, equal to four percent (4%) of the amount of such unpaid payment (herein called “Late Charge”). If all or any portion of the payment due on the Maturity Date is paid after the Maturity Date and on a date which is not the first (1st) day of a calendar month, Borrower shall pay a late or collection charge, as liquidated damages, equal to the interest which would have accrued on such amount during the period commencing on the date payment of such amount is actually made and ending on the last day of the calendar month in which payment of such amount is actually made. Borrower acknowledges that Lender will incur additional expenses as a result of any late payments or deposits hereunder, which expenses would be impracticable to quantify, and that Borrower’s payments under this Section 2.3 are a reasonable estimate of such expenses.

 

  (b) Default Rate. Commencing upon a Default and continuing until such Default shall have been cured by Borrower, all sums owing on the Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

2.4 MAXIMUM RATE PERMITTED BY LAW.

Neither this Agreement, the Note nor any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to require the payment or permit the collection of any interest or any late payment charge in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law. If any such excess interest or late payment charge is provided for under this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents or if this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents shall be adjudicated to provide for such excess, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such excess notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan Documents. If Lender shall collect amounts which are deemed to constitute interest and which would increase the effective interest rate to a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, all such amounts deemed to constitute interest in excess of the maximum legal rate shall, upon such determination, at the option of Lender, be returned to Borrower or credited against the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

So long as no Default exists, Lender shall apply the Tax Impound to the payment of the Taxes. Deposits into the Tax Impound shall be waived, provided no Default is continuing, with respect to any Taxes which a tenant is required to pay directly to the taxing authority pursuant to the terms of its Lease, provided (i) Borrower delivers, or causes to be delivered to Lender, evidence of the timely payment of such Taxes, (ii) such tenant has exercised all applicable renewal terms under its Lease within the time such renewals are required to be exercised and (iii) such tenant is not in material default of its obligations under its Lease beyond all applicable notice and cure periods.

causes to be delivered to Lender, evidence of the timely payment of such Insurance Premiums, (y) such tenant has exercised all applicable renewal terms under its Lease within the time such renewals are required to be exercised and (z) such tenant is not in material default of its obligations under its Lease beyond all applicable notice and cure periods.

4.5 GENERAL.

All deposits required to be made by Borrower under this Article 4, including, without limitation, the additional impounds set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto, if any, are herein collectively called Impounds.” For so long as any of the Impounds required under this Section 4 are in effect and if Lender reasonably determines that an Impound was not estimated properly and a deficiency exists, Lender shall notify Borrower of such deficiency in writing and Borrower shall deposit or cause the applicable tenant to deposit with Lender the amount of such deficiency not more than ten (10) days after Borrower’s receipt of such notice. Lender shall have the right, upon prior advance written notice and subject to the tenant’s rights under its Lease, to enter upon the Property at all reasonable times, including without limitation, prior to any disbursement of Impounds, to inspect any work in process and/or completed for which Impounds are now or hereafter required, but Lender shall not be obligated to supervise or inspect any such work or to inform Borrower or any third party regarding any aspect of any such work. Borrower shall pay to Lender all reasonable out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses paid or incurred by Lender from time to time in connection with any request of Borrower for a disbursement of funds from the Impounds (other than the Tax Impound and the Insurance Impound). Borrower authorizes Lender to disburse directly to Lender, from the Impounds or from funds to be disbursed to Borrower from the Impounds, such sums as may be necessary, at any time and from time to time, to pay all such reasonable third-party costs and expenses.

 

4.6 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST; APPLICATION OF FUNDS.

As security for payment of the Loan and the performance by Borrower of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all Impounds. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Impound (or account in which such Impounds are held), or permit any lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements to be filed thereon, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, Lender may apply all or any part of the Impounds against the amounts outstanding under the Loan in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the liens and security interests securing the Loan or exercise its other rights under the Loan

 

7


Documents. The Impounds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. All interest which accrues on the foregoing Impounds except for the Tax Impound and the Insurance Impound (for which no interest shall be paid) shall be at a rate established by Lender or its servicing agent, which may or may not be the highest rate then available, shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to Borrower and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued. Upon repayment in full of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents, all remaining Impounds, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower.

ARTICLE 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

5.1 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

As a material inducement to Lender’s entry into this Agreement, each Borrower, as to itself, represents and warrants to Lender as of the Effective Date:

 

  (a) Legal Status. Each of Borrower and, if its managing Person such as a general partner, manager, managing member, or similar Person (each, a “Managing Entity”) is an entity formed or organized under the laws of any Governmental Authority, each such Managing Entity, is duly formed or organized and existing and in good standing under the laws of the state in which such entity is formed or organized. Borrower and, if applicable, its Managing Entity, is currently qualified or licensed (as applicable) and shall remain qualified or licensed to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified or licensed under applicable law (including, as to Borrower and, if required by the law of such jurisdiction, its Managing Entity, the jurisdiction in which the Property is located).

 

  (b) Authorization and Validity. The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party have been duly authorized by Borrower and the Loan Documents constitute valid and binding obligations of Borrower or the party which executed the same, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, or by the application of rules of equity.

 

  (c) Violations. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of each of the Loan Documents do not violate any provision of any law or regulation applicable to the Borrower and/or the Property, or result in any breach or default under any contract, obligation, indenture or other instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower is bound.

 

  (d) Litigation. There are no pending or to Borrower’s knowledge threatened (in writing) actions, claims, investigations, suits or proceedings before any Governmental Authority, court or administrative agency which would have a Material Adverse Effect other than as described on Exhibit D attached hereto.

 

  (e) Financial Statements. The financial statements of Borrower and of Guarantor previously delivered by Borrower to Lender: (i) are materially complete and correct; (ii) present fairly the financial condition of such party; and (iii) have been prepared in accordance with the same accounting standard used by Borrower to prepare the financial statements delivered to and approved by Lender in connection with the making of the Loan, or other accounting standards approved by Lender. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in such financial condition, nor have any assets or properties reflected on such financial statements been sold, transferred, assigned, mortgaged, pledged or encumbered which would have a Material Adverse Effect, except as previously disclosed in writing by Borrower or Guarantor to Lender.

 

  (f)

Reports. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all reports, documents, instruments and written information delivered by Borrower or Guarantor to Lender in connection with the Loan, as of the date delivered: (i) are correct in all material respects and sufficiently complete to give Lender

accurate knowledge of their subject matter thereof; and (ii) do not contain any material misrepresentation of a material fact or omission of a material fact which omission makes the provided information misleading in any material respect.

For all purposes of this Agreement, Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses as described above (collectively, “Costs and Expenses”) shall also include, without limitation, as allocable to the Loan, all appraisal fees, cost engineering and inspection fees, reasonable third party legal fees and expenses, third party accounting fees, fees for the disbursement of any Impounds as set forth in Section 4.5 hereof, environmental and other consultant fees, auditor fees, and the cost to Lender of any title insurance premiums and title company charges (including for down dates, abstracts, tax certificates, title insurance endorsements required by Lender, and UCC financing statements, tax lien and litigation searches), surveys, recording, reconveyance and notary fees, any transfer and mortgage taxes, any rating agency fees and expenses for the initial securitization of the Loan, and any loan servicing and special servicing fees and expenses (including, without limitation, any “work-out” and/or liquidation fees), any interest payable to any servicer, any special servicer or any trustee pursuant to a trust and servicing agreement in respect of advances made by any of the foregoing; all compensation payable to any special servicer in connection with servicing the Loan when it is a specially serviced loan or its administration of any of the Property foreclosed upon; and, except for the regular monthly fee payable to the servicer, any other cost, fee or expense of the trust fund administering the Loan (including, but not

 

19


limited to, reimbursements to the trustee thereof, the servicer, any special servicer, any certificate administrator thereunder and related Persons of each of the foregoing and indemnification to Persons entitled thereto pursuant to any trust and servicing agreement governing the Loan, taxes related to the Loan or the Property payable from the assets of the applicable trust fund, tax related expenses (other than the recurring expenses of filing or furnishing annual or other tax or information returns, reports or schedules, which will be paid by any certificate administrator) and the cost of various opinions of counsel required to be obtained in connection with servicing the Loan and administration of the trust fund).

Any Lease that does not satisfy the requirements of this Section 7.4 shall, subject to subsection (f) below, require the prior written consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Major Lease shall, subject to subsection (f) below, require the prior written consent of Lender. Any Lease that is not a Major Lease which satisfies the requirements of Section 7.4(a) shall not require Lender’s written consent.

 

  (f) Request for Approval; Failure to Deny Request. Lender’s failure to deny any written request by Borrower for Lender’s consent required under this Section 7.4 or to request additional information in response to such request within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of such request (and all lease documents and information reasonably related thereto, “Lease Documents”) shall be deemed to constitute Lender’s consent to such request and Lease Documents; provided that said written request to Lender conspicuously state in 12 point or larger bold type “PURSUANT TO SECTION 7.4(f) OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, BORROWER’S REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THE LEASE SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED IF LENDER DOES NOT DECLINE APPROVAL IN WRITING OR REQUEST ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REASONABLY RELATED THERETO IN WRITING WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF THIS LETTER, THE ENCLOSED LEASE AND RELATED INFORMATION AS DESCRIBED HEREIN.” In the event that Lender requests additional information to complete its review within the initial ten (10) Business Day period after Borrower’s written request for approval, Lender’s failure to deny such request by Borrower within five (5) Business Days after receipt of all of the information Lender has requested to complete its review shall be deemed to constitute Lender’s consent to such request; provided that all of the information requested by Lender is delivered and such information conspicuously states in 12 point or larger bold type “PURSUANT TO SECTION 7.4(f) OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, BORROWER’S REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THE LEASE SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED IF LENDER DOES NOT DECLINE APPROVAL IN WRITING OR REQUEST ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REASONABLY RELATED THERETO IN WRITING WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS DESCRIBED HEREIN.”

 

  (g)

Security Deposits. As additional security for the Loan, Borrower has assigned to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any security deposits or letters of credit delivered to Borrower by tenants at the Property as security for such tenants’ obligations under their respective Leases. Lender shall draw on any such letters of credit upon delivery to Lender of an Officer’s Certificate from Borrower specifying what conditions exist under the applicable Lease entitling the Borrower to draw on such letter of credit. Any letters of credit assigned to Lender and held by Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be held in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lease and all applicable laws. Lender shall return to Borrower any letters of credit held by Lender hereunder upon the expiration of the Lease applicable to such letter of credit (or sooner, if required by the terms of such Lease) or upon payment in full of the Loan, or upon the release of the

 

22


 

applicable Property pursuant to the terms hereof (and Lender shall execute and deliver any and all assignment documents required or requested by the issuing bank in order to assign any such letters of credit to Borrower or any other entity requested by Borrower). Within ten (10) Business Days of the date hereof, Borrower shall deliver to Lender executed documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, from the respective issuers of the letters of credit evidencing the assignment of such letters of credit from Borrower to Lender (such obligation, collectively the “Letter of Credit Assignment”).

7.6 RIGHT OF SUBORDINATION.

Lender may at any time and from time to time by specific written instrument intended for such purpose, unilaterally subordinate the lien of the Mortgage to any Lease, without joinder or consent of, or notice to, Borrower, any tenant or any other Person. No subordination referred to in this Section 7.6 shall constitute a subordination to any lien or other encumbrance, whenever arising, or improve the right of any junior lienholder. Nothing herein shall be construed as subordinating the Mortgage to any Lease.

 

7.7 FURTHER ASSURANCES.

Upon Lender’s reasonable request and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any other instruments and perform and/or consent to any other acts necessary, desirable or proper, as reasonably determined by Lender, to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or to perfect and preserve any security interests or liens created by the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no such instruments shall (1) increase any of the obligations, or reduce any of the rights, of Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan Documents, (2) increase any costs or expenses payable by Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan Documents or (3) reduce any of the obligations, or increase any of the rights, of Lender under the Loan Documents.

Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) (a) all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon it or on any of its properties or assets or in respect of any of its franchises, business, income or property before any penalty or interest accrues thereon (unless Lender is paying the same pursuant to the terms hereof or unless Borrower is contesting any such taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in good faith pursuant to Section 16.7 herein) and (b) except to the extent being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which appropriate reserves (which may be funds then held as Impounds, as determined in Lender’s reasonable discretion) have been established, all claims (including, without limitation, claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums, which have become due and payable and which by law have or may become a lien or encumbrance, other than a judgment lien, upon any of Borrower’s properties or assets, prior to the time when any penalty or fine shall be incurred with respect thereto.

Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to such alterations to the Improvements over the Alteration Threshold. In addition to Borrower’s obligation to post security if the alteration exceeds the Alteration Threshold, Borrower shall deliver to Lender title coverage reasonably acceptable to Lender to insure Lender for any mechanic’s liens filed in connection with such alteration to the extent such title coverage is available at a reasonable cost in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located. Any such security or excess funds shall be disbursed to Borrower to pay or reimburse Borrower for completed work related to such alterations, provided Borrower complies with the requirements for disbursements for work as set forth in Section 4.4.4(d) of Exhibit E (such work being performed in connection with such alterations being deemed “Work” in Section 4.4.4(d) of Exhibit E only for the purposes of disbursements pursuant to this Section 7.17). All such security or excess funds remaining after completion of the alteration shall be promptly returned to Borrower.

 

7.18 COMPLIANCE WITH PATRIOT ACT.

Borrower covenants and agrees that in the event Borrower receives any notice that Borrower, SPE Party, Guarantor, any property manager (if such property manager is an Affiliate of Borrower) (or any of their respective beneficial owners, affiliates or participants) or any Person that has an interest in the Property (including, without limitation, any tenant at the Property) become listed on any list promulgated under the Patriot Act or is indicted, arraigned, or custodially detained on charges involving money laundering or predicate crimes to money laundering, Borrower shall immediately notify Lender. At Lender’s option, it shall be a Default hereunder if Borrower, SPE Party or Guarantor becomes listed on any list promulgated under the Patriot Act or is indicted, arraigned or custodially detained on charges involving money laundering or predicate crimes to money laundering.

ARTICLE 9. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

 

9.1 DEFAULT.

For all purposes hereof, “Default” shall mean either an “Optional Default” (as defined below) or an “Automatic Default” (as defined below).

 

  (a) Optional Default. An “Optional Default” shall occur, at Lender’s option (exercised in its sole and absolute discretion), upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

  (i) Monetary. Borrower shall fail to (a) pay when due the P& I Payment Amount or sums which are payable on the Maturity Date, or (b) pay when due any other sums payable under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and such failure continues after ten (10) days’ written notice of such failure from Lender to Borrower.

 

  (ii) Failure to Perform. Borrower shall fail to observe, perform or discharge any of Borrower’s obligations, covenants, conditions or agreements, other than Borrower’s payment obligations, under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and such failure shall remain uncured for forty-five (45) days after written notice thereof shall have been given to Borrower by Lender; provided, however, if any failure under this Section 9.1(a)(ii) shall be of such a nature that it cannot be cured or remedied within such forty-five (45) days, Borrower shall be entitled to a reasonable period of time to cure or remedy such failure (not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days following the giving of such notice (subject to further extension by Lender, in Lender’s reasonable discretion)), provided Borrower commences the cure or remedy thereof within the forty-five (45) day period following the giving of notice and, thereafter, proceeds with diligence to complete such cure or remedy.

 

  (iii) Representations and Warranties. Any representation, warranty, certificate or other written statement (financial or otherwise) made or furnished by or, in the case of any financial statements of Borrower, on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor, to Lender under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents shall be false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished.

 

  (iv) Intentionally Omitted.

 

  (v) Bankruptcy of Partners, Managing Member, Guarantors and Sponsor. The occurrence of an event specified in subsections (b)(i) or (ii) herein as to any general partner or managing member of Borrower (other than any SPE Party) or Guarantor.

 

  (b) Automatic Default. An “Automatic Default” shall occur automatically upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

  (i) Voluntary Bankruptcy, Insolvency, Dissolution. (aa) Borrower’s or SPE Party’s filing a petition for relief under the Bankruptcy Code, or under any other present or future state or federal law regarding bankruptcy, reorganization or other relief to debtors (collectively, “Debtor Relief Law”); or (bb) Borrower’s or SPE Party’s filing any pleading in any involuntary proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other Debtor Relief Law which admits the petition’s material allegations regarding Borrower’s or SPE Party’s insolvency; or (cc) Borrower’s or SPE Party’s making a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (dd) Borrower’s or SPE Party’s applying for, or the appointment of, a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator of Borrower, SPE Party or any of their property; or (ee) the filing by Borrower or SPE Party of a petition seeking the liquidation or dissolution of Borrower or SPE Party or the commencement of any other procedure to liquidate or dissolve Borrower or SPE Party.

9.2 ACCELERATION.

Upon the occurrence of an Optional Default, Lender may, at its option (exercised in its sole and absolute discretion), declare all principal, interest and other sums owing to Lender under the Note and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all unpaid or unreimbursed Costs and Expenses) immediately due and payable. Upon the occurrence of an Automatic Default, all principal, interest and other sums owing to Lender under the Note and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all unpaid or unreimbursed Costs and Expenses) shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

 

9.3 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

In addition to the other rights and remedies above and otherwise in this Agreement, at any time after a Default, Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies as set forth in the Mortgage, the other Loan Documents, under applicable law and in equity. All rights and remedies of Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to all rights and remedies provided by applicable law and in equity. Lender may enforce any such remedies or rights either successively or concurrently.

ARTICLE 10. NO PREPAYMENT - DEFEASANCE ONLY

Borrower acknowledges that any prepayment of the Loan will cause Lender to lose its interest rate yield on the Loan and will possibly require that Lender reinvest any such prepayment amount in loans of a lesser interest rate yield (including, without limitation, in debt obligations other than first mortgage loans on commercial properties). As a consequence, Borrower agrees as follows, as an integral part of the consideration for Lender’s making the Loan:

 

  10.1 No Voluntary Prepayment. Voluntary prepayment of the Loan is prohibited during the Prepayment Lockout Period. After the Prepayment Lockout Period, prepayment of the Loan is permitted in full only, and not in part. Subject to the foregoing, on and after the Open Period Start Date, Borrower may prepay the Loan without incurring any prepayment charge or premium.

 

  10.2 Prepayment Charge.

 

  (a)

Basic Charge. Except as provided in clause (c) below and subject to Section 10.1, if at any time prior to the Open Period Start Date prepayment of all or a portion of the principal amount of the Loan is tendered by Borrower, a purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person and accepted by Lender, whether such prepayment is voluntary, involuntary or made concurrently with or after a Default, such tender shall be deemed an attempt to circumvent the prohibition against prepayment set forth in the 10.1 above, and Borrower, such purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall pay to Lender on the prepayment date (in addition to all other sums then due and owing to Lender under the Loan Documents) a prepayment charge equal to the greater of the following two amounts: (i) an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the amount prepaid; or (ii) an amount equal to (A) the amount, if any, by which the sum of the present values as of the prepayment date of all unpaid principal and interest payments required under the Loan, calculated by discounting such payments from their respective Due Dates (or, with respect to the payment required on the Maturity Date, from the Maturity Date) back to the prepayment date at a discount rate equal to the Periodic Treasury Yield (defined below) exceeds the outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of the prepayment date, multiplied by (B) a fraction whose numerator is the amount prepaid and whose denominator is the outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of the prepayment date. For purposes of the foregoing, “Periodic Treasury Yield” means the annual yield to maturity of the actively traded non-callable

 

30


 

United States Treasury fixed interest rate security (other than any such security which can be surrendered at the option of the holder at face value in payment of federal estate tax or which was issued at a substantial discount) that has a maturity closest to (whether before, on or after) the Maturity Date (or if two or more such securities have maturity dates equally close to the Maturity Date, the average annual yield to maturity of all such securities), as reported in The Wall Street Journal or other authoritative publication or news retrieval service on the fifth (5th) Business Day preceding the prepayment date.

 

  (b) Additional Charge. If the Loan is prepaid on any day other than a Due Date, whether such prepayment is voluntary, involuntary or upon full acceleration of the principal amount of the Loan by Lender following a Default, Borrower shall pay to Lender on the prepayment date (in addition to the basic prepayment charge described in Section 10.2(a) above and all other sums then due and owing to Lender under the Loan and the other Loan Documents) an additional prepayment charge equal to the interest which would otherwise have accrued on the amount prepaid (had such prepayment not occurred) during the period from and including the prepayment date to and including the last day of the calendar month in which the prepayment occurred.

 

  (c) Exclusion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prepayment charge of any kind shall apply in respect to any prepayment resulting from Lender’s application of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or scheduled P&I Payment Amount to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

 

  10.3 Effect of Prepayment. No partial prepayment of the Loan shall change any Due Date or the P&I Payment Amount unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, (i) in the event of a Partial Defeasance, the P&I Payment Amount shall be reduced by the monthly principal and interest payment due under the New Note, and (ii) following the Earn-Out Advance, the P&I Payment Amount shall be adjusted based on the new outstanding principal balance of the Loan in the event of a prepayment of the Loan resulting from Lender’s application of any insurance proceeds as a result of a casualty at the Northrop VA Property.

 

  10.4 Waiver. Borrower waives any right to prepay the Loan, except under the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 10 and agrees that if the Loan is prepaid, Borrower shall pay the prepayment charge set forth above, subject to Section 10.1 and except as provided for in Section 10.2(c). Borrower hereby acknowledges that: (a) the inclusion of this waiver of prepayment rights and agreement to pay the prepayment charge for the right to prepay the Loan was separately negotiated with Lender; (b) the economic value of the various elements of this waiver and agreement was discussed; and (c) the consideration given by Borrower for the Loan was adjusted to reflect the specific waiver and agreement negotiated between Borrower and Lender and contained herein.

ARTICLE 11. DEFEASANCE - FULL OR PARTIAL.

 

  11.1 Borrower Right to Defease. At any time (and from time to time) during the Defeasance Option Period, Borrower may elect to effect a Full Defeasance or a Partial Defeasance, the last Defeasance of all Property being deemed a Full Defeasance, all in accordance with the provisions of this Article 11, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense. A Partial Defeasance shall be permitted only in connection with a release of an Individual Property or to avoid a Cash Trap Event Period caused by clause (b) in the definition thereof in the Cash Management Agreement.

 

  11.2 Conditions. Borrower shall only have the right to cause a Defeasance if all of the following conditions have been satisfied:

 

  (a)

Notice. Borrower shall give at least thirty (30) days written notice to Lender specifying Borrower’s intended Defeasance Date and, for a Partial Defeasance, the Individual Property or Properties affected. Simultaneously with the delivery of such notice, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount reasonably estimated by Lender to be sufficient to reimburse Lender’s anticipated reasonable and actual out of pocket expenses

 

31


 

in connection with the Defeasance, for which Borrower shall be solely responsible whether or not the Defeasance shall be completed. If any such notice shall have been given by Borrower, Borrower shall be permitted to revoke such notice in writing prior to the Defeasance Date, provided Borrower pays all of Lender’s reasonable third party expenses incurred in connection with the proposed Defeasance or Partial Defeasance. Upon completion of the Defeasance or revocation by Borrower as specified above, Lender shall return any surplus deposit to Borrower.

 

  (b) No Default. No Default shall exist either on the date of receipt of Borrower’s notice under Section 11.2(a) above or on the Defeasance Date; provided, however, Borrower shall be permitted to conduct a Partial Defeasance, subject to all of the other conditions for a Partial Defeasance herein, while a Default exists if the release of the Property subject to the Partial Defeasance will cure such Default.

 

  (c) Payments. Borrower shall pay in full, on or before the Defeasance Date (i) all unpaid interest accruing under the Loan to and including the Defeasance Date (or otherwise cause Successor Borrower to assume liability for such interest), (ii) all other sums due under the Loan and the other Loan Documents on or before the Defeasance Date, (iii) all reasonable and actual out of pocket escrow, closing, recording, legal, Rating Agency and other third party fees, costs and expenses paid or actually incurred by Lender and its agents in connection with the Defeasance, the release of the lien of the Mortgage on the Property or the Individual Property, as the case may be, the review of the proposed Defeasance Collateral and the preparation of the Defeasance Security Agreements and related documentation, (iv) an administrative fee to Lender of $35,000, and (v) any revenue, documentary stamp, intangible or other taxes, charges or fees due in connection with the transfer or assumption of the Loan or the New Note, or in connection with the Defeasance, excluding income taxes. Lender shall cooperate with Borrower to effect a Partial Defeasance or Full Defeasance upon notice by Borrower of its decision to effectuate the same.

 

  (d) Deliveries. Borrower shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, deliver the following items to Lender on or before the Defeasance Date:

 

  (i) For any Partial Defeasance, the New Note, and the Amended Note evidencing only the remaining principal balance of the Loan (i.e., the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the Partial Defeasance, less the principal balance of the New Note). The New Note and other Defeasance Security Agreements shall not be cross-defaulted with the Amended Note and other Loan Documents. Under no circumstances shall the New Note be subject to prepayment prior to the Open Period Start Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Amended Note shall have a principal and interest payment based on the remaining principal balance of the undefeased portion of the Loan and the New Note shall have a principal and interest payment based on the defeased portion of the Loan. The principal and interest payable on the New Note and the Amended Note, in the aggregate, will, immediately following the Partial Defeasance, equal the principal and interest payable on the Loan immediately prior to the Partial Defeasance;

 

  (ii)

The Defeasance Collateral, as substitute collateral for the Loan or, for a Partial Defeasance, for the New Note, provided, however, that the payments generated from the Defeasance Collateral (without regard to earnings from reinvestment of proceeds) must be, in timing and amounts, sufficient to provide for payment prior, but as close as possible, to (A) all Due Dates occurring after the Defeasance Date (with each such payment being equal to or greater than the amount of corresponding amount of scheduled principal and/or interest required (as applicable) to be paid under the Loan or, for a Partial Defeasance, under the New Note) for the balance of the term of such note and (B) the Open Period

 

32


 

Start Date (with such payment being equal to or greater than the outstanding principal balloon payment together with all interest due with respect to the Loan or, for a Partial Defeasance, with respect to the New Note, on the Open Period Start Date and assuming for purposes of calculating the outstanding principal balloon payment pursuant to this clause d(ii) only, that the Open Period Start Date is the Maturity Date); and provided further, however, that Borrower shall take such actions, enter such agreements and issue such orders or directions (including those specified below), as are necessary or appropriate and in accordance with customary commercial standards to effectuate book-entry transfers and pledges through the book-entry facilities of the institution holding the Defeasance Collateral or otherwise to create and perfect a valid, enforceable, first priority security interest in the Defeasance Collateral in favor of Lender;

 

  (iii) The Defeasance Security Agreements creating, attaching and perfecting a first priority security interest in favor of Lender in the Defeasance Collateral, which agreements shall provide, among other things, that all payments generated by the Defeasance Collateral shall be paid directly to Lender and applied by Lender to amounts then due and payable under the Loan or, for a Partial Defeasance, under the New Note;

 

  (iv) A certificate of Borrower certifying that all of the requirements of this Article 11 have been satisfied;

 

  (v) Opinions of counsel for Borrower, addressed to Lender and all Rating Agencies and delivered by counsel satisfactory to Lender, subject only to customary assumptions, qualifications and exceptions, stating, among other things, that (a) Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Collateral, (b) the Defeasance Security Agreements are enforceable against Borrower or successor Borrower, as applicable, in accordance with their terms and (c) any REMIC that holds the Loan immediately prior to the Defeasance will not, as a result of the Defeasance, fail to maintain its status as a REMIC;

 

  (vi) A certificate, addressed to Lender and all Rating Agencies, from a firm of independent certified public accountants reasonably acceptable to Lender, subject only to customary assumptions, qualifications and exceptions, certifying that the Defeasance Collateral satisfies the requirements of Section 11.2(d)(ii) above and certifying that in no fiscal year of Successor Borrower will the interest earned on the Defeasance Collateral exceed the interest payable for the same period on the Loan or, for a Partial Defeasance, under the New Note;

 

  (vii) If the Loan is held by a REMIC, written evidence from the Rating Agencies that the Defeasance will not result in a downgrading, withdrawal or qualification of the respective ratings in effect immediately prior to the Defeasance for any securities representing interests in such REMIC which are then outstanding; and

 

  (viii) Such other certificates, opinions, documents or instruments as are customary in commercial mortgage defeasance transactions to effect the Defeasance.

 

  (e) Partial Release Conditions for an Individual Property. For a Partial Defeasance, the following additional conditions for a release of an Individual Property shall also have been satisfied:

 

  (i) The Release Property shall be (a) sold in its entirety pursuant to a bona fide sale of such Property to a third party purchaser that is not an Affiliate of Borrower or (b) transferred in its entirety to an Affiliate of Borrower in connection with a refinancing of that Property;

 

33


  (ii) The principal amount of the New Note shall be no less than the applicable Release Price, or, in the event of a Partial Defeasance as a result of the substitution of the Northrop VA Property, for an amount equal to the difference between (i) fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan at the time of the substitution in accordance with Section 14.2 hereof and (ii) the Allocated Loan Amount attributable to the Northrop VA Property;

 

  (iii) If the Loan has been securitized, (A) the Partial Release shall not cause any of the Rating Agencies to withdraw, qualify or downgrade the then-applicable rating on any security issued in connection with such securitization and, if required by Lender, Lender shall have received written confirmation of this from the applicable Rating Agencies; and (B) the Partial Release shall not (1) constitute a “significant modification” of the Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(b) or (2) cause the Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code, and, if required by Lender, Lender shall have received an opinion of counsel to this effect, in form and content and issued by counsel satisfactory to Lender;

 

  (iv) If the Release Party was covered by a title policy which covered any other Property not released, Borrower shall have delivered any title endorsements or updated title reports as Lender may reasonably require with respect to any of the Properties not being released; and

 

  (v) All conditions, if any, for release of the Release Property under the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, if any, shall have been satisfied or will be satisfied simultaneously therewith.

 

  (f) Release of Lien. Upon satisfaction of all conditions specified in this Article 11, the Property and the Collateral (or, for a Partial Defeasance, the Defeasance Property and the associated portion of the Collateral) shall be released from the lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and the Defeasance Collateral and the proceeds thereof shall constitute the only collateral securing the obligations of Borrower under the Loan and the other Loan Documents (or, for a Partial Defeasance, under the New Note and the Defeasance Security Agreements). Lender shall, at Borrower’s expense, prepare, execute and deliver any instruments reasonably necessary to release the lien of the Mortgage and other Loan Documents from the Defeasance Property and the Collateral (or, for a Partial Defeasance, the Defeasance Property and the associated portion of the Collateral).

 

  (g)

Assignment and Assumption. In connection with the Defeasance, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the pledged Defeasance Collateral and all its obligations and rights under the Loan (or, for a Partial Defeasance, the New Note) and the Defeasance Security Agreements to Successor Borrower. Successor Borrower shall execute an assumption agreement in form and substance customary in commercial mortgage defeasance transactions, pursuant to which it shall assume Borrower’s obligations under the Loan (or, for a Partial Defeasance, the New Note) and the Defeasance Security Agreements and Borrower shall be released from such obligations. As conditions to such assignment and assumption, Borrower shall (i) deliver to Lender opinions of counsel addressed to Lender and all Rating Agencies, in form and substance customary in commercial Defeasance transactions and delivered by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and subject only to customary assumptions, qualifications and exceptions, stating, among other things, that such assumption agreement is enforceable against Borrower and Successor Borrower in accordance with its terms and that the Loan (or, for a Partial Defeasance, the New Note) and the Defeasance Security Agreements, as so assumed, are enforceable against Successor Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, and a bankruptcy non-consolidation opinion with respect to Successor Borrower, its equity owners and such other parties as Lender may reasonably require; and (ii) pay all reasonable and actual out of pocket costs

 

34


 

and expenses incurred by Lender and its agents in connection with such assignment and assumption (including, without limitation, the formation or review of Successor Borrower and the preparation of the assumption agreement and related documentation). Upon such assumption by Successor Borrower, Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations under the Loan (or, for a Partial Defeasance, under the New Note), the Defeasance Security Agreements and the other Loan Documents, but, in the latter case, only to the extent applicable to the Individual Property affected by the Defeasance other than (i) representations and warranties made in connection with the Defeasance, (ii) the obligation to effect the Defeasance in accordance with this Article 11, and to provide further assurances as necessary to do so, (iii) liability for losses to Lender resulting from an avoidance, rescission or set-aside of the Defeasance as a result of actions taken by Borrower, and (iv) those obligations which are specifically stated in the Loan Documents to survive the repayment of the Loan or other termination, satisfaction, assignment, amendment or restatement of the Loan, the Defeasance Security Agreements or the other Loan Documents or Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies under any of such documents and instruments.

Throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower shall maintain the following types of insurance in the form and content as set forth in this Article 12.

 

  (a) Casualty Insurance. Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, will keep the Property and the Collateral insured during the entire term of the Loan, for the mutual benefit of Borrower and Lender, against fire and such other hazards that would be covered by an insurance policy issued on a Special Form Cause of Loss - “All Risk” basis (the “Casualty Policy”). The Casualty Policy shall:

 

  (i) include coverage for, and specifically state that coverage is provided for: Windstorm Coverage (as defined in Section 12.1(b)(iii), hail, Terrorism Coverage (as defined in Section 12.5 below) and, mold;

  (iv) contain a lender’s loss payable endorsement containing provisions equivalent to those provisions contained in Form 438BFU and naming Lender as the mortgagee (unless otherwise agreed by Lender in its sole discretion). If the lender’s loss payable endorsement is not provided on Form 438BFU or ISO Form CP1218, the applicable form number shall be referenced on the proposed endorsement and such endorsement must be acceptable to Lender;

 

35


  (v) be evidenced by an Accord 27 (Form Date: March, 1993), an Accord 28 (2003/10) or equivalent form, or such other form acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion in favor of Lender, as mortgagee and loss payee, and such evidence shall be provided to Lender. Borrower shall also provide Lender with a complete copy of the Casualty Policy promptly upon issuance but no later than sixty (60) days from the closing of the Loan;

 

  (vi) contain a so called “Agreed Amount” endorsement or a “No Co-Insurance” clause unless otherwise agreed by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion;

 

  (vii) Building Ordinance or Law Coverage sufficient to compensate for the cost of demolition, increased costs of construction and loss to any undamaged portion of the improvements at the Property if the current use of the Property or the improvements thereon are “nonconforming” or “legal nonconforming” or become “nonconforming” or “legal nonconforming” pursuant to the applicable zoning regulations and if full rebuildability and continued full use following a casualty is otherwise not permitted under such zoning regulations; and

 

  (viii) except as provided in subsection(a)(vi) above, not contain any co-insurance clauses or provisions that would reduce the coverage available under the Casualty Policy.

 

  (b) Other Property Insurance Coverage. Borrower must also provide the following additional forms of insurance coverage, whether as additional coverage under the Casualty Policy or by purchasing one or more additional policies, which additional coverage or policies shall comply with all of the requirements contained herein applicable to the Casualty Policy unless otherwise provided below:

 

  (i) Rental loss and/or business interruption insurance for a period of (i) twelve (12) months for all properties other than the Northrop VA Property (following the Earn-Out Advance) or (ii) eighteen (18) months for the Northrop VA Property (following the Earn-Out Advance), in an amount sufficient such that the insurer would not deem Borrower a co-insurer under the policy, (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) which provides that after the physical loss to the Property and Collateral occurs, the loss of rents or income, as applicable, will be insured until such rents or income, as applicable, either return to the same level that existed prior to the loss, or the expiration of (i) twelve (12) months for all properties other than the Northrop VA Property (following the Earn-Out Advance) or (ii) eighteen (18) months for the Northrop VA Property (following the Earn-Out Advance), whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (C) if required by Lender from time to time, which contains an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to such Property and Collateral 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 twelve (12) months from the date that the Property and Collateral are repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of such rental loss and/or business interruption insurance, as applicable, shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding period of coverage required above. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such rental loss and/or business interruption insurance, as applicable. Any rental loss and/or business interruption insurance proceeds shall be held by Lender and disbursed in accordance with Section 12 of this Agreement;

 

36


  (ii) Comprehensive boiler and machinery coverage, without exclusion for explosion, covering all boilers or other pressure vessels, machinery and equipment located at the Property, in an amount not less than the full replacement value thereof and of the building or buildings housing the same and for “loss of income;”

 

  (iii) Pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(i), coverage for windstorm (“Windstorm Coverage”), which Windstorm Coverage shall comply with each of the applicable requirements for insurance policies set forth in this Section 12 (including, without limitation, those relating to deductibles); provided, that, Lender, at Lender’s option, may require Borrower to obtain or cause to be obtained the Windstorm Coverage with higher deductibles than set forth above;

 

  (iv) At all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the improvements on the Property, and only if the Property and liability coverage forms do not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the below mentioned Liability Policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (a) above written in a so called Builder’s Risk Completed Value form, including coverage for 100% of the total construction costs (1) on a non reporting basis, (2) against “all risks” insured against pursuant to subsection (a) above, and (3) including permission to occupy the Property; and

 

  (v) Earthquake insurance in any area of increased risk (20% PML or higher). Lender may change its requirements for Earthquake Insurance from time to time based on (i) review of a current probable maximum loss seismic study, to be prepared at Borrower’s expense (up to once every two years), forecasting the expected damage from any event anticipated to reoccur once in 475 years, on a 50%-certain statistical basis; (ii) actual and potential losses at any other locations the same earthquake insurance covers and sharing the policy’s occurrence and annual aggregate limits of available coverage; and (iii) the amount of lost business or rental income to be expected during Restoration of the Property.

 

  (c) Liability Insurance. Borrower, at its sole cost and expense and during the entire term of the Loan, shall maintain:

 

  (i) a Commercial General Liability Coverage Policy on the so-called “occurrence” form (“Liability Policy”) that includes coverage for contractual damages, property damage, personal and bodily injuries (including death resulting therefrom) and provide for a per occurrence minimum limit of liability of not less than $1,000,000 and a general aggregate minimum limit of liability of not less than $2,000,000 without any deductible or self-insured retention unless otherwise agreed by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion (to continue at not less than the aforesaid limits until reasonably required to be changed by Lender pursuant to Section 12.2 hereof), and such other liability insurance as is reasonably requested by Lender. The Liability Policy shall cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations; (3) independent contractors; and (4) contractual liability coverage with regard to occurrences for property damage, bodily injury, personal injury and death for so-called “insured” contracts as defined in the Liability Policy. Further, the policy shall include coverage for, and shall specifically state that coverage for, Terrorism Coverage and mold are not excluded. Borrower shall provide a Certificate of Liability Insurance that states the coverage limits per occurrence and indicates the full name of Borrower as a named insured, rather than as an additional insured; and

 

37


  (ii) umbrella liability insurance in an amount not less than $50,000,000 million per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under subsection (i) above.

 

  (d) Blanket Insurance. Unless otherwise agreed to by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, blanket policies shall be permitted only if (i) coverage will not be affected by any loss on other properties covered by the policies, (ii) the policy specifically allocates to each Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder or shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate policy, and (iii) such policy is approved in advance in writing by Lender, and Lender’s interest is included therein as provided in this Agreement, (iv) such policy is otherwise issued in accordance with the terms of Section 12 of this Agreement, and (v) any changes or amendments made hereafter to such policy (including any endorsements and riders) are subject to the approval of Lender or its servicing agent. At all times, approval of any blanket policy remains subject to review and approval by Lender based on the schedule of locations and values.

 

12.2 ADDITIONAL INSURANCE.

In addition to the foregoing, Borrower shall at all times obtain and maintain (or cause to be obtained and maintained) such additional insurance policies and coverage (i) as may be required pursuant to any and all agreements, declarations, covenants, and/or other arrangements to which Borrower is party or to which Borrower or the Property is subject, including, without limitation, any declarations of covenants, conditions and restrictions or similar covenants and/or restrictions affecting the Property, franchise agreements, licenses, leases, codes or ordinances, (ii) as set forth on Exhibit G attached hereto, and (iii) such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in order to protect its interests and/or to satisfy then current market conditions and requirements.

 

12.3 POLICY REQUIREMENTS.

The Casualty Policy, the Liability Policy and each other insurance policy required hereunder (each, a “Policy” and, collectively, the “Policies”) shall:

 

  (a) provide that (i) Lender shall receive thirty (30) days’ notice of any modification, cancellation or expiration of the Policy, (ii) Lender shall receive ten (10) days’ notice of any nonpayment, and (iii) any such modification, cancellation or expiration without such notice shall not be effective against Lender;

 

  (b) unless otherwise agreed by Lender in its sole discretion and except for flood and earthquake insurance coverage, be issued by an insurer having a minimum rating of “A” or better from S&P, and, in the event of a ratings downgrade from S&P, Borrower shall be required to replace said insurer(s) with a carrier satisfying the claims paying ability ratings required by this subsection (b);

 

  (c) each insurer shall be admitted or authorized to do business in the state where the Property is located or shall otherwise be acceptable to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion;

 

  (d) be evidenced by a certificate or other documents in form and substance acceptable to Lender, and shall be delivered to Lender on or before the date hereof;

 

  (e) specifically state on the evidence thereof provided to Lender in accordance with this Article 12, any exclusion or condition which is a deviation from standard insurance language or forms;

 

  (f) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;

 

  (g) shall contain an endorsement providing that no policy shall be impaired or invalidated by virtue of any act, failure to act, negligence of or violation of declarations, warranties or conditions contained in such policy by Borrower, Lender or any other named insured, additional insured or loss payee, except for the willful misconduct of Lender knowingly in violation of the conditions of such policy; and

 

38


  (h) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any tenant or other occupant, 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 Lender is concerned.

 

12.4 MAINTENANCE OF INSURANCE.

Borrower shall:

 

  (a) maintain, or cause to be maintained, all required insurance throughout the term of the Loan and while any obligations of Borrower to Lender under any of the Loan Documents remain outstanding, at Borrower’s expense, with companies, and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. Insurance coverage as required hereunder which is provided by a tenant at the Property pursuant to a Lease shall be acceptable coverage hereunder provided Lender has reasonably approved such coverage and all of the requirements for such insurance coverage in this Article 12 are satisfied, including, but not limited to, Section 12.6(b);

 

  (b) as a condition to Lender entering into the Loan Documents and making the Loan, and as and when in the future requested by Lender, forward a paid receipt to Lender with respect to all insurance coverage required under this Agreement, and such receipt shall indicate the policy period, the property location and the annual premium delineated with respect to each type of coverage provided by such policy. Lender, by reason of accepting, rejecting, approving or obtaining insurance, shall not incur any liability for: (A) the existence, nonexistence, form or legal sufficiency of any insurance, (B) the solvency of any insurer or (C) the payment of claims;

 

  (c) give Lender written notice of the cancellation of any Policies within five (5) days of receipt of any such notice of cancellation from the insurer; and

 

  (d) deliver to Lender, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies (or certificates of insurance) theretofore furnished to Lender, renewal Policies (or certificates of insurance) accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder.

 

12.5 TERRORISM COVERAGE.

Borrower shall at all times obtain and maintain (or cause to be obtained and maintained) coverage for Acts of Terror (the “Terrorism Coverage”), which such Terrorism Coverage shall comply with each of the applicable requirements for the Policies set forth above (including, without limitation, those relating to deductibles, except as otherwise agreed to by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion). As used herein, the term “Terrorism Coverage” shall mean coverage for Acts of Terror. As used above, “Acts of Terror” shall mean acts of terror or similar acts of sabotage; provided, that, for so long as the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as extended and modified by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (as the same may be further modified, amended, or extended, collectively, “TRIPRA”), remains in full force and effect, the provisions of TRIPRA shall determine what is deemed to be included within this definition of “Acts of Terror”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Borrower be required to pay annual premiums in excess of the TC Cap (defined below) in order to obtain the Terrorism Coverage (but Borrower shall be obligated to purchase such portion of the Terrorism Coverage as is obtainable by payment of annual premiums equal to the TC Cap). As used above, “TC Cap” shall mean a premium in an amount to provide coverage equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

 

39


12.6 CERTAIN RIGHTS OF LENDER.

 

  (a) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, with written notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including obtaining such insurance coverage as Lender in its reasonable discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate;

 

  (b) Borrower shall assign the Policies or proofs of insurance to Lender, in such manner and form that Lender and its successors and assigns shall at all times have and hold the same as security for the payment of the Loan. Lender shall be named as “Mortgagee” and “Loss Payee” on all Property Policies and as “Additional Insured” on any Liability Policy. If Borrower elects to obtain any insurance which is not required under this Agreement, all related insurance policies shall be endorsed in compliance with this Section 12.6(b), and such additional insurance shall not be canceled without prior notice to Lender. From time to time upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall identify to Lender all insurance maintained by Borrower with respect to the Property. The proceeds of Policies coming into the possession of Lender shall not be deemed trust funds, and Lender shall be entitled to apply such proceeds as provided in Article 12 of this Agreement; and

 

  (c) Borrower shall give immediate written notice of any loss to the insurance carrier and to Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Lender, as attorney in fact for Borrower coupled with an interest, to notify any of Borrower’s insurance carriers to add Lender as a loss payee, mortgagee insured or additional insured, as the case may be, to any policy maintained by Borrower (regardless of whether such policy is required under this Agreement), to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such Policies, to collect and receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Lender’s reasonable expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds. Nothing contained in this Section 12.6(c), however, shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action hereunder.

 

12.7 CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION; RESTORATION PROCEEDS.

 

  (a)

Any and all awards, compensation, reimbursement, damages, proceeds, settlements, and other payments or relief paid or to be paid, together with all rights and causes of action relating to or arising from, (i) any insurance policy maintained by, on behalf of, or by any tenant of the Property for the benefit of, Borrower following any damage, destruction, casualty or loss to all or any portion of the Property (a “Casualty”, and such proceeds, “Insurance Proceeds”) or (ii) any temporary or permanent taking or voluntary conveyance of all or part of the Property, or any interest therein or right accruing thereto or use thereof, as the result of, or in settlement of, any condemnation or other eminent domain proceeding by any Governmental Authority whether or not the same shall have actually been commenced (a “Taking”, and such proceeds, “Condemnation Proceeds”, and together with Insurance Proceeds, collectively, “Restoration Proceeds”) are hereby assigned to Lender as additional collateral security hereunder subject to the Lien of the Mortgage, to be applied in accordance with this Article 12. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of any Casualty or Taking, but in no event later than ten (10) days thereafter. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Leases, Lender shall be entitled to receive and collect all Restoration Proceeds, and Borrower shall instruct and cause the issuer of each policy of insurance described herein and any applicable Governmental Authority to deliver to Lender all Restoration Proceeds. Borrower shall execute such further assignments of the Restoration Proceeds as Lender may from time to time reasonably require. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Restoration Proceeds, less the amount of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred in collecting the same (the “Net Restoration Proceeds”), are $2,000,000 or less (the “Restoration Proceeds Threshold”), provided no Default then exists, Lender shall disburse such Net Restoration Proceeds directly to Borrower and Borrower must use such Net Restoration Proceeds to restore and/or repair the Property. All Insurance Proceeds received by Borrower or

 

40


 

Lender in respect of business interruption coverage, and all Condemnation Proceeds received with respect to a temporary Taking available to Borrower, shall be deposited in a segregated escrow account with Lender or its servicer, as applicable, and Lender shall estimate the number of months required for Borrower to restore the damage caused such Casualty or replace cash flow interrupted by such temporary Taking, as applicable, and shall to the extent of available proceeds (and subject to any other applicable requirements herein) divide the aggregate proceeds by such number of months, and, provided no Default then exists, shall disburse a monthly installment thereof to the Restricted Account each such month to be held and disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement. Subject to Lender’s rights under Section 12.8, provided no Default has occurred and is continuing and the Restoration has been completed in accordance with this Agreement, any Net Restoration Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration, to the extent not used by Borrower in connection with, or to the extent they exceed the cost of such Restoration and any reasonable costs incurred by Lender, shall be paid to Borrower.

 

  (b) Lender shall be entitled at its option to participate in any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with (i) any insurance policy claims relating to any Casualty, and (ii) any Taking in an amount in controversy, in either case, in excess of the Restoration Proceeds Threshold, and Borrower shall within ten (10) Business Days after request therefor reimburse Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with such participation. Borrower shall not make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with any such claim in excess of the Restoration Proceeds Threshold or if a Default then exists without the prior written approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Borrower shall not make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with any claim unless same is commercially reasonable.

 

  (c) If and to the extent Restoration Proceeds are not required to be made available to Borrower to be used for the Restoration of the Property affected by the Casualty or Taking, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, Lender shall be entitled, without Borrower’s consent but subject to the rights of the tenant under any Lease, to apply such Restoration Proceeds or the balance thereof, at Lender’s option either (i) to the full or partial payment or prepayment of the Loan, or (ii) to the Restoration of all or any part of the Property affected by the Casualty or Taking, as applicable. In the event that a Casualty or Taking exceeds the thresholds set forth in Section 12.8(d) hereof and Lender has elected to apply the Restoration Proceeds thereof to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Borrower shall be permitted to release the affected Property from the Lien of the Mortgage.

 

12.8 RESTORATION.

Borrower shall restore and repair (or shall cause the restoration and repair of) the Property or any part thereof now or hereafter damaged or destroyed by any Casualty or affected by any Taking; provided, however, that if the Casualty is not insured against or insurable, Borrower shall so restore and repair even though no Insurance Proceeds are received. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 12.7, Lender agrees that Lender shall make the Net Restoration Proceeds (other than business interruption insurance proceeds, which shall be held and disbursed as provided in Section 12.7) available to Borrower for Borrower’s restoration and repair of the Property affected by the Casualty or Taking (a “Restoration”), as applicable, on the following terms and subject to Borrower’s satisfaction of the following conditions; provided, that Lender shall have the right to waive any of the following conditions in its sole and absolute discretion:

 

  (a) At the time of such Casualty or Taking, as applicable, and at all times thereafter there shall exist no Default;

 

  (b) The Property affected by the Casualty or Taking, as applicable, shall be capable of being restored (including replacements) to substantially the same condition, utility, quality and character, as existed immediately prior to such Casualty or Taking, as applicable, in all material respects with a fair market value and projected cash flow of the Property equal to or greater than prior to such Casualty or Taking, as applicable;

 

41


  (c) Borrower shall demonstrate to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction Borrower’s ability to make the scheduled payments due under the Loan coming due during such repair or restoration period (after taking into account proceeds from business interruption insurance carried by Borrower);

 

  (d) (i) in the event of a Casualty, less than thirty percent (30%) of each of (1) the fair market value of the Property and (2) the rentable area of the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty or (ii) in the event of a Taking, less than fifteen percent (15%) of each of (1) the fair market value of the Property and (2) the rentable area of the Property is taken, no material portion of the Improvements is located on such land and such Taking does not materially impair the existing access to the Property. In this clause (d), the fair market value shall be reasonably determined by Lender, provided, however, if Borrower reasonably objects to Lender’s determination of fair market value, the fair market value shall be determined by an appraisal reasonably acceptable to Borrower and Lender;

 

  (e) Borrower shall have provided to Lender all of the following, and collaterally assigned the same to Lender pursuant to assignment documents reasonably acceptable to Lender: (i) an architect’s contract with an architect reasonably acceptable to Lender and complete plans and specifications for the Restoration of the Property lost or damaged to the condition, utility and value required by Section 12.8(b); (ii) fixed-price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contracts with contractors reasonably acceptable to Lender for completion of the Restoration work in accordance with the aforementioned plans and specifications; (iii) such additional funds (if any) as are necessary from time to time, in Lender’s reasonable opinion, to complete the Restoration (which funds shall be held by Lender as additional collateral securing the Loan and shall be disbursed, if at all, pursuant to this Article 12); and (iv) copies of all permits and licenses necessary to complete the Restoration in accordance with the plans and specifications and all applicable laws;

 

  (f) Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to commence such work within one hundred eighty (180) days after such Casualty or Taking, as applicable, and shall diligently pursue such work to completion;

 

  (g) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (A) the date six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (B) such time as may be required under applicable laws in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition as required hereunder, (C) the expiration of the business interruption insurance coverage referred to in Section 12.1(b)(ii), and (D) earliest date required pursuant to the terms of any applicable Major Lease; and

 

  (h) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with all applicable laws in all material respects.

 

12.9 DISBURSEMENT.

 

  (a) Each disbursement by Lender of such Restoration Proceeds 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, including, without limitation, requiring lien waivers, performance and insurance bonds, and any other documents, instruments or items which may be customarily required by lenders.

 

  (b)

In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of Restoration 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 determined by Lender, less, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in a Restoration, an amount equal to the greater of (i) ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of such Restoration, as reasonably determined by Lender, and (ii) the amount actually withheld by Borrower (the “Casualty Retainage”). The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until Lender reasonably determines that the Restoration

 

42


 

has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage.

16.35 SECURITIZATION INDEMNIFICATION.

 

  (a) Borrower understands that information provided to Lender by Borrower and its agents, counsel and representatives may be included in disclosure documents in connection with a securitization of the Loan (the “Securitization”), including, without limitation, an offering circular, a prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering document (each, a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the certificates, notes or other securities issued in connection with the Securitization, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization.

 

  (b)

Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, an agreement (A) certifying that Borrower has examined such specific sections of the Disclosure Documents specified in writing by Lender, as specifically relating to Borrower, Borrower Affiliates, the Property, Manager, Guarantor and other aspects of the Loan (the “Specific Sections”), does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 16.35, Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors), and any Affiliates of Lender that have filed the registration statement relating to the Securitization (the “Registration Statement”), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person that controls the Affiliate of Lender within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Lender Group”), and any other placement agent or underwriter with respect to the Securitization, each of their respective directors and each Person who controls Lender or any other placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Specified Sections or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such Specified Sections in order to make the statements in such sections, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Lender Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any reasonable and actual out of pocket legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above and under Section 16.35(c) below only to the extent that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission

 

61


 

made in the Specified Sections in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, and operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property provided by Borrower. The indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not the indemnification agreement described above is provided. The aforesaid indemnity will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.

 

  (c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, Borrower shall (subject to the proviso in Section 16.35(b)(ii)(C)) (i) indemnify Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Specified Sections of the Disclosure Document a material fact required to be stated in the Specified Sections of the Disclosure Document in order to make the statements in the Specified Sections of the Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group for any reasonable and actual out of pocket legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.

 

  (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 16.35 of notice of a claim and/or the commencement of any action relating to an indemnified Liability, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 16.35, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any claim or action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 16.35, such indemnified party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party(ies) shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.

 

  (e)

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 16.35(b) or (c) hereof is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 16.35(b) or (c) hereof, the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be

 

62


 

considered: (i) Lenders’ and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

 

  (f) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 16.35 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

 

  (g) If, at the time one or more Disclosure Documents are being prepared for a Securitization, Lender expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and Related Properties collectively, will be a Significant Obligor for purposes of such Securitization, Borrower shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to Lender upon request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, net operating income, described in Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan (or portion of the Loan included in such Securitization) and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in such Securitization or (ii) the financial statements described in Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan (or portion of the Loan included in such Securitization) together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan (or apportion of the Loan included in such Securitization) and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization. Such financial data or financial statements shall be furnished to Lender (A) within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization, (B) not later than sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrower and (C) not later than one hundred twenty (120) Business Days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial statements pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) of this sentence with respect to any period for which an Exchange Act Filing is not required. If reasonably requested by Lender, and to the extent available to Borrower and not prohibited by any applicable lease, other agreement or order, Borrower shall furnish to Lender financial data and/or financial statements for any tenant of any of the Properties if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects there to be, with respect to such tenant or group of affiliated tenants, a concentration within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization such that such tenant or group of affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor.

 

  (h)

All financial data and financial statements provided by Borrower hereunder pursuant to Sections 16.35(g) and (h) hereof shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and other applicable legal requirements. All annual financial statements referred to in Section 16.35(g) above shall be audited by independent accountants of Borrower (which accountants shall be acceptable to Lender) in accordance with Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, shall be accompanied by the manually executed report of the independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and all applicable legal requirements, and shall be further accompanied by a manually executed written consent of the independent accountants, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, to the inclusion of such financial statements in any Disclosure Document and any Exchange Act Filing and to the use of the name of such independent accountants and the reference to such independent accountants as “experts” in any Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of which shall be provided at the same time as the related financial statements are

 

63


 

required to be provided. All financial data and financial statements (audited or unaudited) provided by Borrower under Section 16.35(g) shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate stating that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this Section 16.35(h).

 

  (i) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall reasonably determine to be required pursuant to Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements in connection with any Disclosure Document or any Exchange Act Filing.

 

  (j) In the event Lender reasonably determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the financial data and financial statements and (if applicable) related accountants’ reports and consents required in order to comply with Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement of Regulation AB or with other legal requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of Section 16.35(g) and (h), Lender may request, and Borrower shall promptly provide, such other financial statements and (if applicable) related accountants’ reports and consents as Lender reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate for such compliance with applicable law.

 

16.36 BORROWER WAIVERS.

With respect to any waivers given by Borrower under this Agreement and other Loan Documents, Borrower acknowledges that: (a) the obligations undertaken by Borrower under and pursuant to this Agreement and the Loan Documents are complex in nature, (b) Borrower’s waivers variously involve rights that may otherwise be available to Borrower or for its benefit, (c) as part of Lender’s consideration for entering into this transaction, Lender has specifically bargained for Borrower’s waivers and the relinquishment by Borrower of those rights so waived, and (d) Borrower has had the opportunity to seek and receive legal advice from skilled legal counsel in the area of financial transactions of the type reflected in this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Based on the foregoing facts, Borrower represents and confirms to Lender that Borrower is fully informed regarding, and that Borrower does thoroughly understand the following: (i) the nature of its waivers and rights it has waived, (ii) the circumstances under which those rights may arise, (iii) the benefits which those rights might otherwise confer upon Borrower, and (iv) the legal consequences to Borrower of waiving those rights. Borrower acknowledges that Borrower has entered into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and both undertaken Borrower’s obligations hereunder and thereunder and given its waivers with the intent that all such waivers shall be fully enforceable by Lender, and that Lender has been induced to enter into this transaction in material reliance upon the presumed full enforceability thereof.

 

16.37 REMEDIES OF BORROWER.

In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by applicable law or under this Agreement, the Mortgage, the Note and the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

It is the intent of the parties hereto in determining whether (a) a breach of a representation or a covenant has occurred, (b)

 

64


there has occurred a Default, or (c) an event has occurred which would create recourse obligations under this Agreement, that any such breach, occurrence or event with respect to any Borrower (or with respect to any single member of a Collective Group) shall be deemed to be such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to all Borrowers (and in the case of each Collective Group, each member of the same) and that all Borrowers need not have been involved with such breach, occurrence or event in order for the same to be deemed such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to every Borrower (and likewise that each member of a Collective Group need not have been involved with such breach, occurrence or event in order for the same to be deemed such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to such Collective Group). The term “Collective Group” as used in this Agreement shall refer to each of the groups of entities represented in this Agreement by the following defined terms: Borrower and Guarantor. The obligations and liabilities of each Borrower shall be joint and several as more further set forth in a contribution agreement entered into in connection with the Loan.

 

16.39 CO-LENDERS.

 

  (a) Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the fact that the Loan may be serviced by a servicer, prior to a Securitization of the Loan, all requests for approval and consents hereunder and in every instance in which Lender’s consent or approval is required, all requests for approval and all copies of documents, reports, requests and other delivery obligations of Borrower required hereunder shall be delivered by Borrower to an agent appointed by the Co-Lenders.

 

  (b) Following the closing of the Loan (i) the liabilities of Lender shall be several and not joint, (ii) no Co-Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of the other Co-Lender, and (iii) each Co-Lender shall be liable to Borrower only for their respective share of the Loan.

  (c) Each Co-Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower and their Affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document.

 

  (d) In connection with any consent or approval under the Loan Documents, or any other circumstance in which “Lender” has the right to take an action and obtain reimbursement therefor from Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower under the Loan Documents, each Co-Lender agrees that the Co-Lenders shall designate one Co-Lender or one Servicer to act as the agent for all Co-Lenders for all dealings with Borrower under the Loan Documents. The initial agent so appointed by the Co-Lenders shall be Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. Borrower shall be entitled to rely on any written consent, approval, notice of Default, any other notices given or statements made or received by or from such agent pursuant to the Loan Documents believed by Borrower to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents without the necessity of confirming the same with the Co-Lenders. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association shall remain the agent for the Co-Lenders hereunder until a servicer has been appointed to administer the Loan, or a replacement agent has been appointed with the prior written consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Work” shall mean any work performed and to be paid from the disbursement from the applicable Impound.

General TI Cap” shall mean (i) in the event Northrop VA renews its Lease pursuant to the terms of its Lease or the Earn-Out Advance shall not have occurred, $11,000,000, as such amount may be reduced as a result of releases of Release Properties as set forth in Exhibit F attached hereto, or (ii) in the event Northrop VA fails to renew its Lease pursuant to the terms of such lease (following the Earn-Out Advance), $30,000,000 (“Northrop TI Cap”), which such Northrop TI Cap shall not be reduced in any event as a result of releases of Release Properties (other than the release of the Northrop VA Property, and in such event clause (i) hereof shall apply).

 

4.4.2 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

 

4.4.3 TENANT IMPROVEMENT IMPOUNDS.

 

  (a) General TI Impound. Borrower shall deposit with Lender the following amounts (collectively, “General TI Impound”): (i) $281,250.00 commencing on July 1, 2012 in the event the Earn-Out Advance is made and (ii) $177,083.33 commencing on July 1, 2013 in the event the Earn-Out Advance is not made (each such amount, the “General TI Deposit”) and on each Due Date after such respective date until such time as the General TI Impound equals or exceeds the amount of the General TI Cap whereupon (provided no Default has then occurred and is continuing) further deposits shall be suspended. Upon the occurrence of a Default, deposits hereunder shall resume commencing with the next ensuing Due Date and shall continue until the Default shall have been cured. If the General TI Impound is drawn upon and the balance of such impound falls below the General TI Cap, deposits hereunder shall resume commencing with the next ensuing Due Date and shall continue until the General TI Cap is again achieved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that rollover of tenants at the Property (based on both Lease renewals and future leasing) exceeds twenty percent (20%) of Adjusted Actual Net Operating Income in any one year or forty percent (40%) in any two year period from July 1, 2017 to July 1, 2021, the General TI Cap shall not be in effect. In the event that rollover of tenants at the Property falls below the thresholds set forth in the previous sentence, the General TI Cap shall be reinstated and, provided no Default is continuing, any General TI Impound funds in excess of the General TI Cap shall be returned to Borrower. The General TI Impound shall be used to pay or reimburse Borrower for tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other leasing costs (collectively, “General TI Leasing Costs”) that may be required for new or renewal tenants in the Property. So long as no Default exists, Lender shall disburse funds from the General TI Impound to Borrower monthly, on a space by space basis. Lender shall disburse funds from the General TI Impound for any space in accordance with Section 4.4.3(d) hereof. All funds held in the General TI Impound that are directly related to a Property that is to be released from the encumbrance of the Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be released from the General TI Impound and delivered to Borrower upon the release of said Property, and the monthly amount payable by Borrower on each Due Date will be adjusted downward by the corresponding impound amount set forth on Exhibit F hereto for the Released Property.

 

  (b)

Designated TI Impound. Borrower shall deposit with Lender (collectively, “Designated TI Impound”) (i) an amount equal to $2,243,534.00 on the Disbursement Date for the currently

 

E-1


 

identified tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other leasing costs (collectively, the “Designated TI Leasing Costs”) that may be required for new or renewal tenants of the spaces in amounts identified on Exhibit E-2 attached hereto and (ii) any and all Lease-termination payments received by Borrower (collectively, the “Lease Termination Payments”). The portion of the Designated TI Impound to be disbursed with respect to such space shall (subject to (y) below) be equal to the actual costs incurred for tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other leasing costs for such space pursuant to evidence as required by Section 4.4.3(d) hereof. So long as no Default exists, Lender shall disburse funds from the Designated TI Impound (x) to pay or reimburse Borrower in accordance with Section 4.4.3(d) hereof and (y) to return Lease Termination Payments to Borrower upon the execution of a new lease for the space for which the applicable Lease Termination Payment was received. So long as no Default exists, Lender shall disburse funds from the Designated TI Impound to pay or reimburse Borrower in accordance with Section 4.4.3(d) hereof. Provided no Default is continuing and upon payment of all Designated TI Leasing Costs, any funds remaining in the Designated TI Impound shall be disbursed to Borrower at the direction of Borrower. All funds held in the Designated TI Impound that are directly related to a Property that is to be released from the encumbrance of the Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be released from the Designated TI Impound and delivered to Borrower upon the release of said Property.

 

  (c) Northrop VA Deposits. Following the Earn-Out Advance, in the event of a Northrop VA Event, the General TI Cap shall increase to the Northrop TI Cap. At Borrower’s option, either the General TI Deposit shall be increased or Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) shall be deposited into the General TI Impound in an amount determined by Lender that would cause the General TI Impound to meet the Northrop TI Cap no later than the date of the expiration of the Northrop VA Lease. All General TI Impounds over and above the $11,000,000.00 General TI Cap shall be released to Borrower upon the reletting of the Northrop VA space if the Earn-Out Advance shall have occurred.

 

  (d) Disbursements General TI Impound and Designated TI Impound. With respect to a General TI Impound and Designated TI Impound, Lender shall disburse funds to Borrower only upon Lender’s receipt and approval of each of the following items with respect to the applicable space, which Borrower agrees are reasonable:

  (5) if required by Lender, an inspection report issued by an inspector selected and retained by Lender, the cost of which shall be paid by Borrower, evidencing that all Work covered by the disbursement has been completed in a workmanlike manner and in accordance with applicable building codes; and

  (1) a current estoppel certificate executed by the tenant of the space which shall include, without limitation, such tenant’s acknowledgment that:

 

  (i) the Lease is in full force and effect and neither Borrower nor the tenant is in default thereunder;

 

  (ii) all Work required under the Lease has been satisfactorily completed and all tenant allowances required to be paid under the Lease have been paid in full and the tenant claims no offset rights or rent credits with respect to such Work;

No deposits into the Capital Expenditures Impound shall be required with respect to any Property leased to a single tenant that is responsible for capital improvements and repairs under its Lease, provided (a) no Default is continuing, (b) such tenant is not in material default under its Lease beyond all applicable notice and cure periods provided therein, and (c) Borrower enforces the terms of the Lease requiring the applicable tenant to make such repairs and improvements. With respect to a Property for which no Capital Expenditures Impound is being required, if any of the foregoing conditions are not satisfied or if the applicable tenant fails to extend or renew its Lease within the time periods set forth in such Lease, Borrower shall commence making Capital Expenditure Impound deposits with respect to such Property not to exceed an annualized amount equal to $0.20 per square foot of net rentable area upon Lender’s written demand. All funds held in the Capital Expenditures Impound that are directly related to a Property that is to be released from the encumbrance of the Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be released from the Capital Expenditures Impound and delivered to Borrower upon the release of said Property.
