ARTICLE 2. LOAN
2.1 LOAN. By and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Lenders, each up to the amount of its respective Commitment, severally, agree to lend to Borrower the principal sum of THREE HUNDRED THIRTY MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED NINETY THOUSAND AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($330,890,000.00, and Borrower agrees to borrow from Lenders the principal sum of up to THREE HUNDRED THIRTY MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED NINETY THOUSAND AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($330,890,000.00), said sum to be evidenced by the Notes. The Notes shall be secured, in part, by the Mortgage encumbering certain real property and improvements as legally defined therein. Amounts disbursed to or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to the Notes shall be used to finance the construction of the Improvements and for such other purposes and uses as may be permitted under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.2 LOAN FEES. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, at Loan closing, a loan fee and other amounts as set forth in a separate letter agreement between Borrower and Administrative Agent dated as of the date hereof (the “Fee Letter”).
2.3 LOAN DOCUMENTS. Borrower shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to Administrative Agent concurrently with this Agreement each of the documents, properly executed and in recordable form, as applicable, described in Exhibit B as Loan Documents, together with those documents described in Exhibit B as Other Related Documents.
2.4 EFFECTIVE DATE. The date of the Loan Documents is for reference purposes only. The effective date of delivery and transfer to Administrative Agent of the security under the Loan Documents and of Borrower’s and Lenders’ obligations under the Loan Documents shall be the earlier of (a) the date Administrative Agent first authorizes the Loan proceeds to be released to, or for the benefit of, Borrower and (b) date the Mortgage is recorded in the Land Court of the State of Hawaii and/or the State of Hawaii Bureau of Conveyance, as applicable (such earlier date, the “Effective Date”).
2.5 MATURITY DATE. All sums due and owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be repaid in full on or before the Maturity Date. All payments due to Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Agreement, whether at the Maturity Date or otherwise, shall be paid in Dollars in immediately available funds.
2.6 INTEREST ON THE LOAN.
(a)Interest Payments. Interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be due and payable, in the manner provided in Section 2.7, on the first Business Day of each month commencing with the first month after the Effective Date.
(b)Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in Sections 2.6(e) below and the payment dates specified in Section 2.6(a), at Requisite Lenders’ discretion at any time during the existence of a Default, the principal balance of the Loan then outstanding and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any interest payments on the Loan not paid when due, shall bear interest payable upon demand at the Default Rate. All other amounts due Administrative Agent or Lenders (whether directly or for reimbursement) under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents if not paid when due after any applicable notice and cure period, or if no time period is expressed, if not paid within ten (10) days after demand shall likewise, at the option of Requisite Lenders, bear interest from and after demand and the expiration of any applicable cure period at the Default Rate.
(c)Late Fee. Borrower acknowledges that late payment to Administrative Agent will cause Administrative Agent and Lenders to incur costs not contemplated by this Agreement. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges. Therefore, if Borrower fails timely to pay any sum due and payable hereunder through the Maturity Date (other than payment of the entire outstanding balance of the Loan on the Maturity Date), then, unless waived by Administrative Agent, a late charge of four cents ($.04) for each dollar of any such principal payment, interest or other charge due hereon and which is not paid within fifteen (15) days after such payment is due, shall be charged by Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Lenders) and paid by Borrower for the purpose of defraying the expense incident to handling such delinquent payment. Borrower and Administrative Agent agree that this late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date hereof and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Administrative Agent and Lenders will incur by reason of late payment. Borrower and Administrative Agent further agree that proof of actual damages would be costly and inconvenient. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue installment, and shall not prevent Administrative Agent from exercising any of the other rights available hereunder or any other Loan Document. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to any other rights of Administrative Agent.
(d)Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest or fees accrue and a year of three hundred sixty (360) days on the principal balance of the Loan outstanding from time to time. In computing interest on the Loan, the date of the making of a disbursement under the Loan shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.6, interest in respect of the Loan shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law.
(e)Effective Rate. Provided no Default exists under this Agreement, the “Effective Rate” upon which interest shall be calculated for the Loan shall, from and after the Effective Date of this Agreement, be one or more of the following:
(i) | Initial Disbursement; Subsequent Disbursements During Any Calendar Month. For the initial disbursement of principal under the Loan, and for any subsequent disbursements of principal during any calendar month, the Effective Rate on such principal amount shall be the Calculated Interest Rate on the date of disbursement as determined by Administrative Agent (e.g. if Borrower receives a subsequent disbursement on November 15, 2015 and the LIBO Rate for the month of November is equal to 0.25% (as determined on the 1st Business Day of November), then the Calculated Interest |
Rate for such subsequent disbursement would be equal to 2.0% (Applicable Spread (1.75%) + the current LIBO Rate (0.25%)). Such Effective Rate shall apply to such principal amount from the date of disbursement through and including the date immediately preceding the first (1st) Business Day of the next calendar month. On the first (1st) Business Day of the next calendar month, any principal disbursed during the prior calendar month shall be added to (or become) the LIBO Rate Portion for purposes of calculation of the Effective Rate under subsection (e)(ii) below.
(ii) | Reset of Effective Rate. Commencing with the first (1st) Business Day of the first (1st) calendar month after the initial disbursement of principal under the Loan, and continuing thereafter on the first (1st) Business Day of each succeeding calendar month, the Effective Rate on the outstanding LIBO Rate Portion under the Loan (i.e., all outstanding principal on such first (1st) Business Day) shall be reset to the Calculated Interest Rate, as determined by Administrative Agent on each such first (1st) Business Day. |
(f)Reserved.
(g)Taxes, Regulatory Costs and Reserve Percentages. Within thirty (30) calendar days after Administrative Agent’s demand, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, in addition to all other amounts which may be, or become, due and payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any and all Taxes and Regulatory Costs, to the extent they are not internalized by calculation of an Effective Rate. Further, at Administrative Agent’s option, the Effective Rate shall be automatically adjusted by adjusting the Reserve Percentage, as determined by Administrative Agent in its prudent banking judgment, from the date of imposition (or subsequent date selected by Administrative Agent) of any such Regulatory Costs. Administrative Agent shall give Borrower notice of any Taxes and Regulatory Costs as soon as practicable after their occurrence, but Borrower shall be liable for any Taxes and Regulatory Costs regardless of whether or when notice is so given. A certificate as to the amount of such Taxes and Regulatory Costs, submitted to Borrower by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error; provided, however, any such determination by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.6(g) shall be consistently applied by Administrative Agent to similarly situated loans to similar borrowers. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement to the contrary, Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender for (i) any Regulatory Costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the change giving rise to Regulatory Costs and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, however, that, if the change giving rise to such increased Regulatory Costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof, or (ii) any Regulatory Costs on account of requirements relating to the Reserve Percentage in effect as of the Effective Date and related to the origination and existence of the Loan unless such Regulatory Costs arise as a result of an increase or other modification of the Loan after the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence does not apply to Taxes. The foregoing shall not limit the rights of a Lender, Participant or Administrative Agent, as applicable, under Sections 13.14 and/or 13.15 of this Agreement.
(h)LIBO Rate Price Adjustment. Borrower acknowledges that prepayment or acceleration of a LIBO Rate Portion during a LIBO Rate Period shall result in Lenders’ incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Therefore, on the date a LIBO Rate Portion is prepaid or the date all sums payable hereunder become due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise (“Price Adjustment Date”), Borrower will pay Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender (in addition to all other sums then owing to Lenders) an amount (“LIBO Rate Price Adjustment”) equal to the then present value of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the LIBO Rate Portion for the remainder of the LIBO Rate Period at the Calculated Interest Rate set on the LIBO Rate Commencement Date, less (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBO Rate Portion for the same period if the Calculated Interest Rate were set on the Price Adjustment Date at the Calculated Interest Rate in effect on the Price Adjustment Date. The present value shall be calculated by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, using as a discount rate the Calculated Interest Rate quoted on the Price Adjustment Date.
By initialing this provision where indicated below, Borrower confirms that Lenders’ agreement to make the Loan at the interest rates and on the other terms set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents constitutes adequate and valuable consideration, given individual weight by Borrower, for this agreement.
Borrower Initials. _/s/ SJL_______
(i)Purchase, Sale and Matching of Funds. Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (a) Lenders have no obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of a Calculated Interest Rate as a basis for calculating an Effective Rate or LIBO Rate Price Adjustment; (b) a Calculated Interest Rate is used merely as a reference in determining an Effective Rate and a LIBO Rate Price Adjustment; and (c) Borrower has accepted a Calculated Interest Rate as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating an Effective Rate and a LIBO Rate Price Adjustment. Borrower further agrees to pay the LIBO Rate Price Adjustment, Taxes and, subject to the limitations of Section 2.6(g), Regulatory Costs, if any, whether or not any Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.
2.7 PAYMENTS.
(a)Manner and Time of Payment. All payments of principal, interest and fees hereunder payable to Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall be made without condition or reservation of right and free of set-off or counterclaim, in Dollars and by wire transfer (pursuant to Administrative Agent’s written wire transfer instructions) of immediately available funds, to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender as applicable, not later than 2:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on the date due; and funds received by Administrative Agent after that time and date shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
(b)Payments on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, payments shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder and of any fees due under this Agreement, as the case may be, and be excluded from the computation of the succeeding period.
(c)Reserved.
(d)Voluntary Prepayment. Borrower may, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on the date given, at any time and from time to time, prepay all or any portion of the Loan without penalty, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 2.7(d). Any notice of prepayment given to Administrative Agent under this Section 2.7(d) shall specify the date of prepayment and the principal amount of the prepayment. In the event of a prepayment of any LIBO Rate Portion, Borrower shall concurrently pay any LIBO Rate Price Adjustment payable in respect thereof. Any principal balance reduction shall reduce Lenders’ Commitment by a like amount, and any such amounts repaid by Borrower may not be reborrowed.
(e)Required Amortization. No amortization shall be required during the period prior to the Original Maturity Date and all regularly scheduled monthly payments of Borrower hereunder during the initial term of the Loan shall be interest only. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent all amounts required under Sections 2.10 and 2.11.
(f)Required Remargin. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent all amounts required pursuant to Section 9.23(c).
2.8 FULL REPAYMENT AND RELEASE. Upon receipt of all sums owing and outstanding under the Loan Documents, and the full performance of all obligations secured by the Mortgage, Administrative Agent shall issue a full release of the Property from the lien of the Mortgage; provided, however, that all of the following conditions shall be satisfied at the time of, and with respect to, such release: (a) Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, shall have received all escrow, closing and recording costs, the costs of preparing and delivering such release and any sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents, and the full payment and performance of all other obligations secured by the Mortgage; and (b) if applicable, Administrative Agent shall have received a written release satisfactory to Administrative Agent of any set aside letter, letter of credit or other form of undertaking which Administrative Agent or any Lender has issued to any surety, Governmental Authority or any other party in connection with the Loan and/or the Property. Lenders’ obligations to make further disbursements under the Loan shall terminate as to any portion of the Loan undisbursed as of the date of issuance of such full release, and any Commitment of Lenders to lend any undisbursed portion of the Loan shall be canceled. In connection with a refinancing of the Property, and subject to Administrative Agent’s receipt of all sums owing and outstanding under the Loan Documents and Administrative Agent’s receipt of all escrow, recording costs, and the costs of preparing and delivering such assignment documentation, Administrative Agent agrees to reasonably cooperate with Borrower to assign Administrative Agent’s interest in the Mortgage and Note to a refinancing lender.
2.9 LENDERS’ ACCOUNTING. Administrative Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books in which shall be recorded (a) the names and addresses and the Pro Rata Shares of the Commitment of each of the Lenders, and principal amount of the Loan owing to each Lender from time to time, and (b) all repayments of principal and payments of accrued interest, as well as payments of fees required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with Administrative Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. Monthly or at such other interval as is customary with Administrative Agent’s practice, Administrative Agent will render a statement of the Loan Account to Borrower and will deliver a copy thereof to each Lender. Each such statement shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrower in all respects as to all matters reflected therein (absent manifest error).

3.4 LOAN DISBURSEMENTS.
(a)Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.1, the proceeds of the Loan and Borrower’s Funds shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of Exhibit D, to pay for costs of construction actually incurred, subject to (i) a ten percent (10%) retention with respect to the Contractor’s fee under the Construction Agreement, until such time as fifty percent (50%) of construction under the Construction Agreement is complete, as determined by the Independent Inspecting Architect; thereafter, a five percent (5%) retention with respect to the Contractor’s fee under the Construction Agreement, until such time as seventy-five percent (75%) of construction under the Construction Agreement is complete, as determined by the Independent Inspecting Architect; thereafter, a two and one-half percent (2.5%) retention with respect to the Contractor’s fee under the Construction Agreement, until such time as one hundred percent (100%) of construction under the Construction Agreement is complete; and (ii) a ten percent (10%) retention with respect to subcontracts under the Construction Agreement, provided, however, notwithstanding the forgoing, (a) at such time as fifty percent (50%) of construction under any such subcontract is
complete, as determined by the Independent Inspecting Architect, retention with respect to such subcontract may be disbursed down to a five percent (5%) retention for such subcontract, and at such time as seventy-five percent (75%) of construction under such subcontract is complete, as determined by the Independent Inspecting Architect, retention with respect to such subcontract may be disbursed down to a two and one-half percent (2.5%) retention for such subcontract; and (iii) the retention as to any individual subcontract shall be disbursed to or for the benefit or account of Borrower upon the satisfaction of the following conditions: (A) one hundred percent (100%) of the work pursuant to such subcontract has been completed, to Administrative Agent’s satisfaction, in accordance with the Plans and Specifications as certified by the Independent Inspecting Architect, and (B) Administrative Agent shall have received a final waiver of lien with respect to such completed work. All disbursements shall be held by Borrower in trust and applied by Borrower solely for the purposes for which the funds have been disbursed. Administrative Agent and Lenders have no obligation to monitor or determine Borrower’s use or application of the disbursements.
(b)In no event will Administrative Agent make disbursements (i) more frequently than monthly, or (ii) for Hard Costs in excess of the percentage of construction actually completed, as certified by Administrative Agent’s independent inspecting architect. The maximum amount of advances which Borrower may request for the Improvements or for any component or phase thereof shall be as set forth in the Disbursement Budget. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to disburse Loan proceeds for the payment of any cost if the amount of such cost, together with the amounts of other costs included within the same “line-item” in the Disbursement Budget for which requests for advances have previously been submitted and approved, exceeds the amount set forth in the Disbursement Budget for such line-item, unless Borrower furnishes to Administrative Agent documentary evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that any such excess cost is offset by a reduction, in nature satisfactory to Administrative Agent, of at least an equal amount in another line-item in the Disbursement Budget, and Administrative Agent approves a revision to the Disbursement Budget. Borrower shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense from sources other than the Loan, for any such overages, which Administrative Agent may require Borrower to deposit into the Borrower’s Funds Account pursuant to Section 4.21 of this Agreement.
(c)At its option, Administrative Agent shall make disbursements directly to Lenders for the payment of interest which accrues and becomes due under the Notes, if and to the extent the Disbursement Budget includes a line item for interest reserve advances and such line item has not been depleted. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the Loan and Borrower’s Funds Account directly for such interest payments when due. Depletion of the interest reserve shall not release Borrower from any of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents including, without limitation, payment of all accrued and due interest and the deposit of Borrower’s Funds with Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.21 of this Agreement.
(d)At its option during the existence of a Default, Administrative Agent may make disbursements to cover any reasonable expenses or charges which are to be borne by Borrower, including, but not limited to, the cost of any required legal fees, appraisals, inspections, certifications or surveys. At its sole option, Administrative Agent may make any disbursements by payment to Borrower or jointly to Borrower and any contractor, subcontractor, supplier, or other person performing work or furnishing materials in connection with the construction of the Improvements.
(e)Except for leasing commissions and fees paid pursuant to the Management Agreement and fees and reimbursements paid pursuant to the Development and Construction Management Agreement, no developer’s, management, consulting or brokerage fee or commission, developer profit or other payment to any Affiliate of Borrower will be paid directly or indirectly from any proceeds of the Loan without Administrative Agent’s prior written approval.
(f)Upon Completion of the Improvements, payment of all fees, costs and expenses related to the construction set forth in the Disbursement Budget, the occurrence of the Project Opening, and the occurrence of Second Tier Stabilization, Borrower may draw down any remaining Commitment of the Loan; provided, however, that any undrawn Commitment shall be terminated on the Original Maturity Date.
3.5 FUNDS TRANSFER DISBURSEMENTS. Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent, to disburse the proceeds of all or any portion of the Loan made by Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested by an authorized representative of the Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the completed Transfer Authorizer Designation. Borrower agrees to be bound by any transfer request: (i) authorized or transmitted by Borrower; or (ii) made in Borrower’s name and accepted by Administrative Agent in good faith and in compliance with these transfer instructions, even if not properly authorized by Borrower. Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that Administrative Agent may rely solely on any bank routing number or identifying bank account number or name provided by Borrower to effect a wire of funds transfer even if the information provided by Borrower identifies
a different bank or account holder than named by the Borrower. Administrative Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by Borrower. If Administrative Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfer requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized funds transfer requests, Borrower agrees that no matter how many times Administrative Agent takes these actions Administrative Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the future and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer disbursement procedures authorized under this provision, the Loan Documents, or any agreement between Administrative Agent and Borrower. Borrower agrees to notify Administrative Agent of any errors in the transfer of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized transfer requests within fourteen (14) days after Administrative Agent’s confirmation to Borrower of such transfer. Administrative Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine the funds transfer system and the means by which each transfer will be made. Administrative Agent, may delay or refuse to accept a funds transfer request if the transfer would: (a) violate the terms of this authorization, (b) require use of a bank unacceptable to Administrative Agent or any Lender or prohibited by government authority; (c) cause Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk control program or guideline; or (d) otherwise cause Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any Applicable Law or regulation. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable to Borrower or any other parties for: (i) errors, acts or failures to act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearinghouses, through which Borrower’s transfers may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of Administrative Agent or any Lender, (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond Administrative Agent or any Lender’s control, or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, whether or not (a) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract or (b) Administrative Agent or any Lender or Borrower knew or should have known the likelihood of these damages in any situation. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender makes any representations or warranties other than those expressly made in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained above to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall remain liable for its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

Prior to entering into or approving any guaranteed maximum construction cost contracts with respect to any phase of construction of the Improvements for which the Construction Agreement relates, Borrower shall have provided a copy of such guaranteed maximum construction cost contract for Administrative Agent’s review and approval, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent may disapprove any contractor, subcontractor or material supplier if a material and reasonable basis exists to deem such contractor, subcontractor or material supplier financially or otherwise unqualified; provided, however, that the absence of any such disapproval shall not constitute a warranty or representation of qualification by Administrative Agent or any Lender. Administrative Agent or any Lender may contact any such contractor, subcontractor or material supplier to discuss the course of construction.
4.9 PROHIBITED CONTRACTS. Except as provided in Section 9.15 hereof, without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, Borrower shall not contract for any materials, furnishings, equipment, fixtures or other parts or components of the Improvements, if any third party shall retain any ownership interest (other than Lien rights created by operation of law) in such items after their delivery to the Property.

Borrower shall comply in all material respects with all Requirements of Law, Property Documents, building restrictions, recorded covenants and restrictions, and requirements of all regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Property. Each portion and all of the Improvements, except for approved off-site improvements, shall be constructed within building restriction and set-back lines, and shall not encroach upon, overhang or interfere with, in any material way, any easement, right-of-way, floodplain or other property. Borrower shall not commence the construction of any material improvements on the Property, except for those set forth in the Plans and Specifications, without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent. Borrower shall be solely responsible for all aspects of Borrower’s business and conduct in connection with the Property, including, without limitation, for the quality and suitability of the Plans and Specifications and their compliance with all governmental requirements, the supervision of the work of construction, the qualifications, financial condition and performance of all architects, engineers, contractors, material suppliers, consultants and property managers, and the accuracy of all applications for payment and the proper application of all disbursements.

Borrower shall immediately give notice to Administrative Agent of any written notification or advice that Borrower may receive from any municipality or other third party of any intent or proposal to include the Property in any District or to levy any such special taxes or assessments. Administrative Agent shall have the right to file a written objection to the inclusion of all or any part of the Property in any District, or to the levy of any such special taxes or assessments, either in its own name or in the name of Borrower, and to appear at, and participate in, any hearing with respect to the formation of any such District or the levy or such special taxes or assessments. Administrative Agent acknowledges that the Property is currently part of a beach replenishment assessment district established pursuant to Ordinance No. 15-11.
4.13 DELAY. Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing of any event causing delay or interruption of construction, or the timely completion of construction, that would cause the Opening to be delayed by more than fifteen (15) days. The notice shall specify the particular work delayed, and the cause and period of each delay.
4.14 INSPECTIONS. Administrative Agent and the Independent Inspecting Architect shall have the right to enter upon the Property at all reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice subject to the rights of any and all tenants and occupants thereof, at Borrower’s cost and expense, to inspect the Improvements and the construction work to verify information disclosed or required pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, each Lender shall have the right to enter upon the Property at all reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice subject to the rights of any and all tenants and occupants thereof to inspect the Improvements and the construction work to verify information disclosed or required pursuant to this Agreement during the existence of a Default.

agreement.

Capitalized terms used in this Article shall have the same meaning as such terms are commonly and presently defined in the insurance industry.
5.1 TITLE INSURANCE. On the Effective Date, a Title Policy, together with any endorsements and reinsurance which Administrative Agent may require, insuring Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, in the principal amount of the Loan, of the validity and the priority of the lien of the Mortgage upon the Property, subject only to matters approved by Administrative Agent in writing. During the term of the Loan, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days of Administrative Agent’s written request, such other endorsements to the Title Policy as Administrative Agent may reasonably require with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, a title update endorsement concurrently with each advance of Loan proceeds.

A Builders All Risk/Special Form Completed Value (Non-Reporting Form) Hazard Insurance policy, including without limitation, theft coverage, terrorism coverage and such other coverages and endorsements as Administrative Agent may require, insuring Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders
against damage to the Property in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost at the time of Completion of the Improvements. Such coverage should adequately insure any and all Loan collateral, whether such collateral is onsite, stored offsite or otherwise. Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, shall be named on the policy as Mortgagee and named under a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement (form #438BFU or equivalent).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lease that meets the following criteria shall not be subject to Administrative Agent’s consent and shall be deemed an Approved Lease: (a) is on Borrower’s standard lease form previously approved by Administrative Agent with no material deviations therefrom, including the estoppel, subordination, attornment and mortgagee protection provisions therein (unless a national or other credit tenant requires that its lease form be used), (b) if the lease is for 10,000 square feet or more, such Lease has an initial term of not less than five (5) years, (c) is with a tenant not affiliated with Borrower or Guarantor, and (d) does not contain a non-mutual termination right in favor of the tenant. Any material change to Borrower’s standard form of lease (which has been provided by Borrower and approved by Administrative Agent prior to the date hereof) shall be approved by Administrative Agent prior to execution of any lease using such form, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The foregoing deemed consent provisions do not apply to a request for Administrative Agent’s consent to modify, terminate or agree to the termination of the Ground Lease or the Anchor Lease. Upon Administrative Agent’s written request, Borrower will promptly provide to Administrative Agent a copy of each Lease executed by Borrower regardless of whether such Lease was subject to Administrative Agent’s consent.
With respect to any action that requires Administrative Agent’s consent under this Section 9.6, Borrower shall send Administrative Agent a written request for approval with respect to such Lease (the “Initial Notice”), which Initial Notice shall have been accompanied by any and all required information and documentation relating thereto as may be reasonably required in order to approve or disapprove such action (the “Approval Information”). Provided no Default exists, any action with respect to any proposed Lease requiring Administrative Agent’s consent shall be deemed approved by Administrative Agent if Administrative Agent does not approve or disapprove any requested action within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by Administrative Agent of a second written notice from Borrower requesting Administrative Agent’s approval under this Section 9.6, which notice shall include in large, bold text: “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR LEASE APPROVAL. IF YOU DO NOT RESPOND WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS, YOU SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE APPROVED THIS REQUEST,” so long as such second written notice was not sent to Administrative earlier than ten (10) Business Days after Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Initial Notice and the Approval Information.
In addition to the parties to whom such Initial Notice shall be delivered pursuant to Section 13.4, the second notice shall also be sent to the following parties:

If Borrower fails to deliver any Subordination Agreement; Acknowledgment of Lease Assignment, Attornment and Non-Disturbance Agreement or estoppel certificates, such failure shall not diminish Borrower’s continuing obligation under this Section 9.7.

9.20 LIMITATIONS ON DISTRIBUTIONS, ETC. For so long as a Potential Default or Default exists and unless the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, measured as of the last day of the calendar quarter most recently ended, is at least 1.10 to 1.00, Borrower shall not distribute any money or other property to any member of Borrower or any other Person, whether in the form of earnings, income or other proceeds from the Property, except such distributions as may be required under Applicable Law to maintain Taubman Centers, Inc.’s REIT status, nor shall Borrower repay any principal or interest on any loan or other advance made to Borrower by any member, nor shall Borrower loan or advance any funds to any such member.

(b)If the Property fails to generate the Minimum Debt Service Coverage required pursuant to subsection (a) above (a “Trigger Event”), it shall not constitute a Default, but until such time as the Property generates the required Minimum Debt Service Coverage as of the end of two (2) consecutive calendar quarters (or the Trigger Event is cured in the manner set forth below), then one hundred percent (100%) of excess cash flow (after payment of operating expenses, usual and customary capital expenditures or other expenditures approved by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, and debt service) shall be remitted to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, within thirty (30) days of each quarter end and held as cash collateral in a blocked and pledged account to be opened by Borrower at such time. Administrative Agent shall have the right to apply such cash collateral (after setting aside appropriate reserves for taxes, insurance and other accrual based expenses) to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan upon the failure of the Property to generate the required Minimum Debt Service Coverage as of the end of two (2) consecutive calendar quarters. So long as no Default exists, any cash collateral not otherwise applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be remitted to Borrower upon the Property generating the required Minimum Debt Service Coverage as of the end of two (2) consecutive calendar quarters. From time to time upon Borrower’s written request, Administrative Agent shall release to Borrower funds held as cash collateral pursuant to this Section 9.23(b) to allow Borrower to pay real estate taxes, insurance and other accrual based expenses of the Property or other expenditures of the Property approved by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after the termination of the Repayment Guaranty in accordance with the terms of the Partial Repayment and Limited Guaranty, the Property generates a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of less than 1.15 to 1.00 during a Test Period, such occurrence shall constitute a Default unless Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days, (i) pay down the principal outstanding under the Loan in an amount sufficient to meet the required Minimum Debt Service Coverage, and/or (ii) deliver to Administrative Agent an unconditional letter of credit, in satisfactory form and issued by a bank acceptable to Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, in an amount equivalent to the principal payment amount necessary to meet the required Minimum Debt Service Coverage. So long as no Default exists, any such letter of credit shall be returned to Borrower upon the Property generating the required Minimum Debt Service Coverage for two (2) consecutive quarters.
(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any principal payments made pursuant to this Section 9.23 may not be reborrowed.
9.24 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Upon Administrative Agent’s request and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, Borrower shall, and shall cause any person or entity affiliated with Borrower to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any other instruments, including replacement promissory notes, guaranties or other loan documents, and perform any other acts necessary, desirable or proper, as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent, to correct clerical errors or omissions in any loan closing documentation, to replace any lost or destroyed loan closing documentation, or to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or to perfect and preserve any Liens created by the Loan Documents; provided, however, none of the foregoing shall increase any obligations or liabilities, or decrease any rights, of Borrower.
9.25 ANCHOR LEASE. Borrower shall give prompt notice to Administrative Agent of any written notice of default or of the exercise of any remedies relating to defaults or breach of the Anchor Lease, and shall deliver copies of any and all such notices to Administrative Agent within five (5) days after the receipt thereof. Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take any actions reasonably necessary to cure any default by Borrower under the Anchor Lease within the time provided by the terms of the Anchor Lease for such purpose. Upon receipt by Administrative Agent from Borrower or Anchor of any written notice of default by Borrower under the Anchor Lease, Administrative Agent may rely thereon and, whether or not such default constitutes a Default under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Other Related Documents, take any action to cure such default even though the existence of such default or the nature thereof is questioned or denied by Borrower or by any other party; provided, however, that Administrative Agent agrees to refrain from curing any such default claimed by Anchor which Borrower notifies Administrative Agent in writing is the subject of a bona fide dispute or is being contested in good faith by Borrower and with respect to which there is no significant risk that such default could result in the termination of the Anchor Lease. Borrower hereby expressly grants to Administrative Agent, and agrees that Administrative Agent will have, subject to the rights of any tenants and occupants of the Property, the absolute and immediate right to enter in and upon the Property or any part thereof to such extent and as often as Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary or desirable in order to cure any such default with respect to the Anchor Lease and without becoming a mortgagee in possession, and Administrative Agent may pay and expend such sums of money as Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion deems necessary for any such purpose. Effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a default or breach of the Anchor Lease by Borrower, Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent the true and lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, of Borrower, empowered and authorized in the name, place and stead of Borrower to exercise all rights of Borrower reasonably necessary to effect a cure under the Anchor Lease. The foregoing appointment is irrevocable and continuing and such rights, powers and privileges shall be exclusive in Administrative Agent, its successors and assigns, so long as such default or breach remains not cured by Borrower.

Upon receipt by Administrative Agent from Ground Lessor of any written notice of default by Borrower under the Ground Lease, Administrative Agent may rely thereon and, whether or not such default constitutes a Default under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Other Related Documents, take any action to cure such default even though the existence of such default or the nature thereof is questioned or denied by Borrower or by any other party; provided, however, that Administrative Agent agrees to refrain from curing any such default claimed by Ground Lessor which Borrower notifies Administrative Agent in writing is the subject of a bona fide dispute or is being contested in good faith by Borrower and with respect to which there is no risk that such default could result in the termination of the Ground Lease. Borrower hereby expressly grants to Administrative Agent, and agrees that Administrative Agent will have, subject to the rights of any tenants and occupants of the Property, the absolute and immediate right to enter in and upon the Property or any part thereof to such extent and as often as Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary or desirable in order to cure any such default with respect to the Ground Lease and without becoming a mortgagee in possession, and Administrative Agent may pay and expend such sums of money as Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion deems necessary for any such purpose.
9.28 ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING/INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAW COMPLIANCE. Each Covered Entity must comply with all Anti-Terrorism Laws. Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing upon the occurrence of a Reportable Compliance Event. No Covered Entity will become a Sanctioned Person. No Covered Entity, either in its own right or through any third party, will (a) have any of its assets in a Sanctioned Country or in the possession, custody or control of a Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; (b) do business in or with, or derive any of its income from investments in or transactions with, any Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; (c) engage in any dealings or transactions prohibited by any Anti-Terrorism Law or (d) use Loan proceeds to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in, or, make any payments to, a Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law. The funds used to repay the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents will not be derived from any unlawful activity.
9.29 DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Borrower shall not terminate or materially amend the Development and Construction Management Agreement (except that Borrower shall be permitted to enter into an agreement with The Taubman Company LLC whereby The Taubman Company LLC waives or reduces any fee payable by Borrower thereunder from time to time).

Administrative Agent will consider, in good faith, any request by Borrower to subordinate the Ground Lease or any interest thereunder to a Fee Mortgage pursuant to a subordination and non-disturbance agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent provided Administrative Agent shall conclude, in its reasonable discretion, that the same shall not adversely prejudice Borrower’s rights under the Ground Lease or Administrative Agent’s rights under the Mortgage or the lien thereof. Nothing contained in this Section 9.30 shall prohibit Borrower from agreeing to attorn to the holder of any Fee Mortgage in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease.

11.2 ACCELERATION UPON DEFAULT; REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default specified in this Article 11, Requisite Lenders may, at their sole option, declare all sums owing to Lenders under the Notes, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents immediately due and payable; provided, however, that all sums owing to Administrative Agent and/or Lenders under the Notes, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall automatically become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of any of the Defaults listed in Section 11.1(f)-(g), after which, in each such case, and while such Default continues, such sums shall, at Lender’s option, bear interest at the Default Rate. Upon such acceleration, Administrative Agent may, and at the direction of Requisite Lenders, shall, in addition to all other remedies permitted under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and at law or equity, apply any sums in any Account to the sums owing under the Loan Documents and any and all obligations of Lenders to fund further disbursements under the Loan shall terminate.

If such payment is made from proceeds of the Loan or from Borrower’s Funds, Borrower shall immediately deposit with Administrative Agent, upon written demand, an amount equal to such payment. If such payment is made from funds of Lenders, Borrower shall immediately repay such funds upon written demand of Administrative Agent. In either case, the Default with respect to which any such payment has been made by Administrative Agent or Lenders shall not be deemed cured until such deposit or repayment (as the case may be) has been made by Borrower to Administrative Agent.
11.4 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION. Upon the acceleration of the Loan, Administrative Agent may, upon five (5) days prior written notice to Borrower, and with or without legal process, take possession of the Property, remove Borrower and all agents, employees and contractors of Borrower from the Property, complete the work of construction and market, operate and sell or lease the Property. For this purpose, Borrower irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest. As attorney-in-fact, Administrative Agent may, in Borrower’s name, take or omit to take any action Administrative Agent may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, exercising Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents and all contracts concerning the Property.
11.5 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S CESSATION OF CONSTRUCTION. If Administrative Agent reasonably determines at any time that the Improvements are not being constructed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and all governmental requirements, Administrative Agent may immediately cause all construction to cease on any of the Improvements affected by the condition of nonconformance. Borrower shall thereafter not allow any construction work, other than corrective work, to be performed on any of the Improvements affected by the condition of nonconformance until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Borrower in writing that the nonconforming condition has been corrected.
11.6 REPAYMENT OF FUNDS ADVANCED. Any funds expended by Administrative Agent in the exercise of its rights or remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable to Administrative Agent upon demand, together with interest at the rate applicable to the principal balance of the Loan from the date the funds were expended.

All Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with those granted by law or at equity, are cumulative and may be exercised by Administrative Agent or Lenders at any time. Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s exercise of any right or remedy shall not constitute a cure of any Default unless all sums then due and payable to Lenders under the Loan Documents are repaid and Borrower has cured all other Defaults. No waiver shall be implied from any failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to take, or any delay by Administrative Agent or any Lender in taking, action concerning any Default or failure of condition under the Loan Documents, or from any previous waiver of any similar or unrelated Default or failure of condition. Any waiver or approval under any of the Loan Documents must be in writing and shall be limited to its specific terms.
11.8 ALLOCATION OF PROCEEDS. If a Default exists, all payments received by the Administrative Agent (or any Lender as a result of its exercise of remedies permitted under Section 12.16) under any of the Loan Documents,
in respect of any principal of or interest on the Loan or any other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder or thereunder, shall be applied in the following order and priority:
(a)amounts due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of expenses due under Section 9.1 and Section 13.10 until paid in full, and then fees referred to in Section 2.2;

(f)payments of all other sums, obligations and other amounts due under any of the Loan Documents to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders; and
(g)any amount remaining after application as provided above, shall be paid to the Borrower or whomever else may be legally entitled thereto.
ARTICLE 12. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT; INTERCREDITOR PROVISIONS
12.1 APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION.
(a)Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents for the benefit of the Lenders.
(b)Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.
(c)Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Administrative Agent”, “Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
(d)The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 10. The Administrative Agent will also furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document.
(e)As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of Borrower’s obligations hereunder), Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such
instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the obligations of Borrower; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Requirements of Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the Other Related Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.
12.2 PNC AS LENDER. PNC, as a Lender, and any other Lender that may serve as a successor Administrative Agent, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include PNC in each case in its individual capacity. PNC and its affiliates (or any such successor Administrative Agent and its affiliates) may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders. Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, other loan parties, other subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.
12.3 LOAN DISBURSEMENTS.
(a)Following receipt of a complete Application for Payment, Administrative Agent shall send a copy thereof by facsimile to each other Lender and shall otherwise notify each Lender of the proposed disbursement and the Funding Date (as such term is defined in Exhibit D attached hereto). Each Lender shall make available to Administrative Agent (or the funding bank or entity designated by Administrative Agent), the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement in immediately available funds not later than the times designated in Section 12.3(b). Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender not later than the close of business (Eastern time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Funding Date in respect of any disbursement that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender shall make such amount available to Administrative Agent. If any Lender does not notify Administrative Agent of its intention not to make available its Pro Rata Share of such disbursement as described above, but does not for any reason make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement, such Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate. In any case where a Lender does not for any reason make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement, Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, fund to Borrower such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement. If Administrative Agent funds to Borrower such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement and if such Lender subsequently pays to Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement. Nothing in this Section 12.3(a) shall alter the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder in respect of a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Pro Rata Advance.
(b)Requests by Administrative Agent for funding by Lenders of disbursements will be made by telecopy. Each Lender shall make the amount of its disbursement available to Administrative Agent in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to such bank and account, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (to such bank and account in such other place) as Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 2:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on the Funding Date designated by Administrative Agent with respect to such disbursement, but in no event earlier than two (2) Business Days following Lender’s receipt of Administrative Agent’s request for funding.
(c)Nothing in this Section 12.3 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Pro Rata Share of disbursements on any Funding Date, nor shall Administrative Agent or any Lender be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to perform its obligations to make any disbursement hereunder, and the Commitment of any Lender shall not be increased or decreased as a result of the failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make a disbursement.
12.4 DISTRIBUTION AND APPORTIONMENT OF PAYMENTS; DEFAULTING LENDERS.
(a)Subject to Section 12.4(b) below, payments actually received by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders shall be paid to them promptly after receipt thereof by Administrative Agent, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, provided that Administrative Agent shall pay to Lenders interest thereon, at the lesser of (i) the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) the rate of interest applicable to the Loan, from the Business Day following receipt of such funds by Administrative Agent until such funds are paid in immediately available funds to Lenders. All payments of principal, interest, and other payments under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall be allocated among such of Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares in the Loan or otherwise as provided herein or as separately agreed by Administrative Agent and any Lender. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, to each Lender at its primary address set forth on the appropriate signature page hereof or on the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, or at such other address as a Lender may request in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, provided that Administrative Agent shall in any event not be bound to inquire into or determine the validity, scope or priority of any interest or entitlement of any Lender and may suspend all payments and seek appropriate relief (including, without limitation, instructions from Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, or an action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or dispute as to any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby. The order of priority herein is set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of Lenders as among themselves and may at any time or from time to time be changed by Lenders as they may elect, in writing in accordance with this Agreement, without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by Borrower or any other Person. All payments or other sums received by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders shall not constitute property or assets of the Administrative Agent and shall be held by Administrative Agent, solely in its capacity as agent for itself and the other Lenders, subject to the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents.
(b)Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, until such time as a Defaulting Lender has funded its Pro Rata Share of a Protective Advance or prior Loan disbursements which was previously a Non-Pro Rata Advance, or all other Lenders have received payment in full (whether by repayment or prepayment) of the amounts due in respect of such Non-Pro Rata Advance, all of the indebtedness and obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of payment, as provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all principal, interest and fees in respect of all Non-Pro Rata Advances in which the Defaulting Lender has not funded its Pro Rata Share (such principal, interest and fees being referred to as “Senior Loans”). All amounts paid by Borrower and otherwise due to be applied to the indebtedness and obligations owing to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Loan (recalculated for purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan), until all Senior Loans have been paid in full. This provision governs only the relationship among Administrative Agent, each Defaulting Lender, and the other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit or affect the obligations or rights of Borrower under this Agreement. The provisions of this section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether a Default occurs and is then continuing, and notwithstanding (a) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (b) any instruction of Borrower as to its desired application of payments or (c) the suspension of such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of Requisite Lenders or all Lenders. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to (i) withhold or setoff, and to apply to the payment of the defaulted amount and any related interest, any amounts to be paid to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. In addition, the Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities and costs, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate as set forth in the Notes, which they may sustain or incur by reason of or as a direct consequence of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
12.5 PRO RATA TREATMENT. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from Lenders shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of the fees shall be made for the account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loan by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loan held by them, provided that if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of the Loan the outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in effect at the time the Loan was made, then such payment shall be applied to the Loan in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Loan being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective
Commitments; and (c) each payment of interest on the Loan by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on the Loan then due and payable to the respective Lenders.
12.6 SHARING OF PAYMENTS, ETC. Lenders agree among themselves that (i) with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment of the obligations of Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan, equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares in the Loan, whether received by voluntary payment, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any or all of such obligations, (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such obligations held by it which is greater than its Pro Rata Share in the Loan of the payments on account of such obligations, the one receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such obligations owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with such Pro Rata Shares; provided, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to that party to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 12.6 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.
12.7 COLLATERAL MATTERS; PROTECTIVE ADVANCES.
(a)Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to a Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral, Loan Documents or Other Related Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents.
(b)The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of all of obligations of Borrower hereunder; and (ii) as expressly permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section.
(c)Upon any sale and transfer of Collateral which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the obligations of Borrower or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, including (without limitation) the proceeds of such sale or transfer, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by the Administrative Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.
(d)The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent in this Section or in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Administrative Agent
shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(e)The Administrative Agent may make, and shall be reimbursed by the Lenders (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares) to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower for, Protective Advances during any one calendar year with respect to any Property that is Collateral up to the sum of (i) amounts expended to pay real estate taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon such Property; (ii) amounts expended to pay insurance premiums for policies of insurance related to such Property; and (iii) $2,500,000. Protective Advances in excess of said sum during any calendar year for any Property that is Collateral shall require the consent of the Requisite Lenders. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all Protective Advances.
(f)Each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against Borrower or any other obligor hereunder under the Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents with respect to exercising claims against or rights in the Collateral without the written consent of the Requisite Lenders.
(g) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, no Lender has the right to act directly against Borrower and Administrative Agent shall act on the behalf of the Lenders in enforcing any rights or remedies under this Agreement.
12.8 POST-FORECLOSURE PLANS. If all or any portion of the Collateral is acquired by the Administrative Agent as a result of a foreclosure or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any part of the obligations of Borrower hereunder, the title to any such Collateral, or any portion thereof, shall be held in the name of the Administrative Agent or a nominee or subsidiary of the Administrative Agent, as agent, for the ratable benefit of all Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall prepare a recommended course of action for such Collateral (a “Post-Foreclosure Plan”), which shall be subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders. In accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, the Administrative Agent shall manage, operate, repair, administer, complete, construct, restore or otherwise deal with the Collateral acquired, and shall administer all transactions relating thereto, including, without limitation, employing a management agent, leasing agent and other agents, contractors and employees, including agents for the sale of such Collateral, and the collecting of rents and other sums from such Collateral and paying the expenses of such Collateral. Actions taken by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral, which are not specifically provided for in the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan or reasonably incidental thereto, shall require the written consent of the Requisite Lenders by way of supplement to such Post-Foreclosure Plan. Upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender will contribute its share (based on its Pro Rata Share) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan in connection with the construction, operation, management, maintenance, leasing and sale of such Collateral. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall render or cause to be rendered to each Lender, on a monthly basis, an income and expense statement for such Collateral, and each Lender shall promptly contribute its Pro Rata Share of any operating loss for such Collateral, and such other expenses and operating reserves as the Administrative Agent shall deem reasonably necessary pursuant to and in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan. To the extent there is net operating income from such Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall, in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to the Lenders. All such distributions shall be made to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. The Lenders acknowledge and agree that if title to any Collateral is obtained by the Administrative Agent or its nominee, such Collateral will not be held as a permanent investment but will be liquidated as soon as practicable. The Administrative Agent shall undertake to sell such Collateral, at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Requisite Lenders reasonably shall determine to be most advantageous to the Lenders. Any purchase money mortgage or deed of trust taken in connection with the disposition of such Collateral in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall name the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Lenders, as the beneficiary or mortgagee. In such case, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall enter into an agreement with respect to such purchase money mortgage or deed of trust defining the rights of the Lenders in the same Pro Rata Shares as provided hereunder, which agreement shall be in all material respects similar to this Article insofar as the same is appropriate or applicable.
12.9 APPROVALS OF LENDERS. All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue
to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Administrative Agent (together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination.
12.10 NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Potential Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Potential Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Potential Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”. Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.
12.11 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RELIANCE, ETC. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any Collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such Collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.
12.12 INDEMNIFICATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Regardless of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents are consummated, each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a “Lender”) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided further, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents and/or collect any obligation of Borrower hereunder, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Hazardous Materials Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.
12.13 LENDER CREDIT DECISION, ETC. Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties or Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates. Each Lender acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender.
12.14 SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current
Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 12 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.
12.15 TITLED AGENTS. Each of PNC Capital Markets LLC, as co-lead arranger and sole bookrunner, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as co-lead arranger and syndication agent (each a “Titled Agent”), in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of the Loan, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Titled Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.
12.16 NO SET-OFFS. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the exercise by any Lender of offset, set-off, banker’s lien or similar rights against any deposit account or other property or asset of Borrower, whether or not located in California, could result under certain laws in significant impairment of the ability of all Lenders to recover any further amounts in respect of the Loan. Therefore, each Lender agrees not to charge or offset any amount owed to it by Borrower against any of the accounts, property or assets of Borrower or any of its Affiliates held by such Lender without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders.
ARTICLE 13. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
13.1 INDEMNITY; DAMAGE WAIVER.
(a)BORROWER HEREBY AGREES TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS INDEMNITEES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL REASONABLE OUT-OF-POCKET, THIRD-PARTY LOSSES, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, COURT COSTS AND LEGAL OR OTHER EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES) WHICH INDEMNITEES MAY INCUR AS A DIRECT OR INDIRECT CONSEQUENCE OF: (A) THE PURPOSE TO WHICH BORROWER APPLIES THE LOAN PROCEEDS; (B) THE FAILURE OF BORROWER TO PERFORM ANY OBLIGATIONS AS AND WHEN REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT OR THE GROUND LEASE; (C) ANY FAILURE AT ANY TIME OF ANY OF BORROWER’S REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES TO BE TRUE AND CORRECT; OR (D) ANY ACT OR OMISSION BY BORROWER, CONSTITUENT PARTNER OR MEMBER OF BORROWER, ANY CONTRACTOR, SUBCONTRACTOR OR MATERIAL SUPPLIER, ENGINEER, ARCHITECT OR OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE PROPERTY, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY ANY GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF INDEMNITEES AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, COURT COSTS AND LEGAL OR OTHER EXPENSES REQUIRED TO BE PAID BY AN INDEMNITEE TO A THIRD PARTY SHALL IN ALL EVENTS BE DEEMED REASONABLE. BORROWER SHALL PROMPTLY PAY TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR SUCH LENDER UPON DEMAND ANY AMOUNTS OWING UNDER THIS INDEMNITY, TOGETHER WITH INTEREST FROM THE DATE OF WRITTEN DEMAND BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT UNTIL PAID AT THE RATE OF INTEREST APPLICABLE TO THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THE LOAN. BORROWER’S DUTY AND OBLIGATIONS TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER SHALL SURVIVE CANCELLATION OF THE NOTES AND THE RELEASE, RECONVEYANCE OR PARTIAL RECONVEYANCE OF THE MORTGAGE.
(b)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or the Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this clause (b) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.
13.2 FORM OF DOCUMENTS. The form and substance of all documents, instruments, and forms of evidence to be delivered to Administrative Agent under the terms of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s reasonable approval and shall not be modified, superseded or terminated in any respect without Administrative Agent’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
13.3 NO THIRD PARTIES BENEFITED. No person other than Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower and their permitted successors and assigns shall have any right of action under any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents.
13.4 NOTICES. Except as otherwise required by Section 13.26, all notices, demands, or other communications under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the appropriate party at the address set forth on the signature page of this Agreement and as specified in Exhibit D (subject to change from time to time by written notice to all other parties to this Agreement). Except as otherwise required by Section 13.26, all notices, demands or other communications shall be considered as properly given if delivered personally, sent via overnight delivery with any reputable overnight courier service or sent by first class United States Postal Service mail, postage prepaid and addressed to the address of Borrower or Administrative Agent at the address specified. Notices so sent shall be effective three (3) days after mailing, one (1) Business Day after having been deposited for overnight delivery with any reputable overnight courier service and otherwise upon receipt; provided, however, that non-receipt of any communication as the result of any change of address of which the sending party was not notified or as the result of a refusal to accept delivery shall be deemed receipt of such communication.
13.5 ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Upon the acceleration of the Loan, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent, as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest, to execute and/or record in Administrative Agent’s or Borrower’s name any notices, instruments or documents that Administrative Agent deems appropriate to obtain, maintain, and/or transfer government approvals relating to the construction of the Improvements (e.g., permits, certificates of occupancy or licenses) if Borrower fails to execute such items promptly upon the reasonable request of Administrative Agent.
13.6 ACTIONS. Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent, in exercising the rights, duties or liabilities of Administrative Agent or Borrower under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, may commence, appear in or defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Property, the Ground Lease, the Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents and Borrower shall promptly reimburse Administrative Agent upon demand for all such expenses so incurred or paid by Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs. Notwithstanding anything contained above to the contrary, Borrower shall first have the right to commence or defend any action subject to this Section 13.6 with counsel reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent may only exercise its rights under this Section 13.6 if Borrower fails to diligently and vigorously protect the interests of Administrative Agent in such action.
13.7 RIGHT OF CONTEST. In addition to Borrower’s obligations under Section 4.10 hereof, Borrower may contest in good faith any claim, demand, and without expanding, levy or assessment (other than Liens and stop notices which may be contested in accordance with Section 4.10) by any person other than Administrative Agent or Lenders which would constitute a Default if: (a) Borrower pursues the contest diligently, in a manner which is not prejudicial to Administrative Agent or any Lender, and does not impair the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents; and (b) Borrower satisfies the requirements of Section 4.10 hereof or establishes reserves for or deposits with Administrative Agent any funds or other forms of assurance which Administrative Agent reasonably and in good faith determines from time to time appropriate to protect Administrative Agent and each Lender from the consequences of the contest being unsuccessful. Borrower’s compliance with this Section shall operate to prevent such claim, demand, levy or assessment from becoming a Default.
13.8 RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. The relationship of Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender, and Administrative Agent and Lenders neither undertake nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any third party with respect to the Property, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents.
13.9 DELAY OUTSIDE LENDER’S CONTROL. No Lender or Administrative Agent shall be liable in any way to Borrower or any third party for Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s failure to perform or delay in performing
under the Loan Documents except for willful misconduct or gross negligence (and Administrative Agent or any Lender may suspend or terminate all or any portion of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents) if such failure to perform or delay in performing results directly from the action or inaction of any governmental or local authority, or because of war, rebellion, insurrection, strike, lock-out, boycott or blockade (whether presently in effect, announced or in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent or such Lender deemed probable), or from any act of God or other cause or event beyond Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s control.
13.10 ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES; ENFORCEMENT. If any attorney is engaged by Administrative Agent or any Lender to enforce or defend any provision of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, or as a consequence of any Default under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, and including, without limitation, any fees and expenses incurred in any bankruptcy proceeding of the Borrower, then Borrower shall promptly pay to Administrative Agent or such Lender, upon demand, the amount of all attorneys’ fees and expenses and all costs incurred by Administrative Agent in connection therewith, together with interest thereon from the date of such demand until paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance of the Loan; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower’s obligation to pay attorneys’ fees shall be limited to, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of (A) one external counsel for the Administrative Agent, (B) one external counsel for all of the Lenders, and (C) any local counsel and/or foreign counsel if appropriate in Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Administrative Agent shall act on behalf of all Lenders with respect to the enforcement of any and all rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) Borrower shall not be responsible for any enforcement costs or expenses under this Section 13.10, in the event Borrower is the prevailing party in any such action.
13.11 IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FUNDS. Unless otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, all amounts payable by Borrower to Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be payable only in United States Dollars, and in immediately available funds.
13.12 AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.
(a)Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the Other Related Documents (i) any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or in any Loan Document or Other Related Documents to be given by the Lenders may be given, (ii) any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document or Other Related Documents may be amended, (iii) the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document or Other Related Document may be waived, and (iv) the continuance of any Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders), and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document or Other Related Document, the written consent of each Loan Party which is party thereto. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent, shall be authorized on behalf of all the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to, or further consent from, any Lender, to waive the imposition of the late fees provided in Section 2.6(c), up to a maximum of three (3) times per calendar year.
(b)Unanimous Consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing, and signed by all of the Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Lenders), do any of the following:
(i) | increase the Commitments of the Lenders (excluding any increase as a result of an assignment of Commitments permitted under Section 13.13) or subject the Lenders to any additional obligations; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to Protective Advances made in accordance with this Agreement; |
(ii) | reduce the principal of, or interest that has accrued or interest rates that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, the Loan; |
(iii) | reduce the amount of any fees payable to the Lenders hereunder; |
(iv) | postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loan (including, without limitation, the Maturity Date) or for the payment of fees or any other obligations of Borrower or Guarantor; |
(v) | change the Pro Rata Shares (excluding any change as a result of an assignment of Commitments permitted under Section 13.13) or the pro rata sharing of payments as provided in Section 12.5 or changes to Section 11.8, to the extent such changes would be inconsistent with the pro-rata sharing requirements of Section 12.5; |
(vi) | amend this Section or amend the definitions of the terms used in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents insofar as such definitions affect the substance of this Section; |
(vii) | modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof; |

(ix) | waive a Default under Section 11.1(a); or |
(x) | release or dispose of any Collateral unless released or disposed of as permitted by, and in accordance with, Section 12.7. |
(c)Amendment of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc. No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Default is waived in writing by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
13.13 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
(a)Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all the Lenders (and any such assignment or transfer to which all of the Lenders have not consented shall be void).
(b)Participations. Any Lender may at any time grant to an Affiliate of such Lender, or one or more banks or other financial institutions or, if the Loan has become due (whether by acceleration or at stated maturity), any other Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) with the prior written consent of Borrower which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, it shall not be unreasonable for Borrower to withhold its consent to an assignment to an entity that it acting in good faith considers to be one of its Competitors or to an entity for which withholding taxes must be paid by Borrower) (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or the obligations owing to such Lender hereunder; provided, however, (i) no such consent by the Borrower shall be required (x) if a Default then exists or (y) in the case of a participation to an Affiliate of such Lender; (ii) any participation shall be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and after giving effect to such participation the granting Lender retains a Commitment, or if the Commitments have been terminated, holds a Note having an outstanding principal balance, of at least $5,000,000. BORROWER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE CONSENTED TO ANY SUCH PARTICIPATION UNLESS IT SHALL OBJECT THERETO BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS AFTER HAVING RECEIVED NOTICE, WHICH NOTICE SHALL INDICATE WHETHER SUCH PARTICIPANT HAS DELIVERED THE CERTIFICATE DESCRIBED IN SECTION 13.15(g)(ii) TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH PARTICIPANT IS EXEMPT FROM WITHHOLDING TAX. No Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, however, such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loan or a portion thereof owing to such Lender, or (iii) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with, and subject to, this subsection (b). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. In connection with any participation, the Lender granting a participating interest shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such participation in the amount of $3,500 ($7,500 in the case of any Defaulting Lender), including, without limitation, the grant of a participating interest by a Lender to another Lender.
(c)Assignments. Any Lender may with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, it shall not be unreasonable for Borrower to withhold its consent to an assignment to an entity that it acting in good faith considers to be one of its Competitors or to an entity for which withholding taxes must be paid by Borrower) at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes; provided, however, (i) no such consent by the Borrower shall be required if a Default then exists, (ii) no such consent by the Borrower or Administrative Agent shall be required in the case of an assignment to another Lender or an Affiliate of another Lender (provided such Affiliate of a Lender is not subject to withholding tax), (iii) any partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and after giving effect to such assignment the assigning Lender retains a Commitment, or if the Commitments have been terminated, holds a Note having an outstanding principal balance, of at least $5,000,000, and (iv) each such assignment shall be effected by means of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement. BORROWER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE CONSENTED TO ANY SUCH ASSIGNMENT UNLESS IT SHALL OBJECT THERETO BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS AFTER HAVING RECEIVED NOTICE, WHICH NOTICE SHALL INDICATE WHETHER SUCH ASSIGNEE HAS DELIVERED THE CERTIFICATE DESCRIBED IN SECTION 13.15(g)(ii) TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH ASSIGNEE IS EXEMPT FROM WITHHOLDING TAX. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be deemed to be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangement so new Notes are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500 ($7,500 in the case of any Defaulting Lender), including, without limitation, an assignment by a Lender to another Lender. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to the Borrower, or any of its respective Affiliates or subsidiaries.
(d)Tax Withholding. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first day on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any Lender, each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, or a state thereof, shall furnish the Administrative Agent and Borrower with a properly completed executed copy of either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN and either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and any additional form (or such other form) as is necessary to claim complete exemption from United States withholding taxes on all payments hereunder.
At all times each Lender shall own or beneficially own a Note, such Lender shall (i) promptly provide to the Administrative Agent and Borrower a new Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN and Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and any additional form (or such other form) (or any successor form or forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable United States laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such Lender, and (ii) comply at all times with all applicable United States laws and regulations, including all provisions of any applicable tax treaty, with regard to any withholding tax exemption claimed with respect to any payments on the Loan. If any Lender cannot deliver such form, then Borrower may withhold from payments due under the Loan Documents such amounts as Borrower is able to determine from accurate information provided by such Lender as required by the Internal Revenue Code.
(e)Federal Reserve Bank Assignments. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of the Section, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Section, any Lender may at any time and from time to time, pledge and assign all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge of assignment shall release such Lender from its obligation thereunder.
(f)Information to Assignee, Etc. A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower, any subsidiary or any other Loan Party in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Assignees and Participants (including prospective Assignees and Participants). In connection with such negotiation, execution and delivery, Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent and Lenders to communicate all information and documentation related to the Loan (whether to Borrower or to any Participant, Assignee, legal counsel, appraiser or other necessary party) directly by e-mail, fax, or other electronic means used to transmit information.
(g)Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(h)USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. In order for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act, prior to any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.
13.14 ADDITIONAL COSTS; CAPITAL ADEQUACY.
(a)Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or any Participant in the Loan determines that compliance with any law or regulation or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) adopted, changed or given after the Effective Date affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or such Participant, or any corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant, as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s or such Participant’s or such corporation’s Commitments or its making or maintaining Loans below the rate which such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of such Lender or such Participant or corporation with regard to capital), then the Borrower shall, from time to time, within thirty (30) calendar days after written demand by such Lender or such Participant, pay to such Lender or such Participant additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant to the extent that such Lender or such Participant determines such increase in capital is allocable to such Lender’s or such Participant’s obligations hereunder.
(b)Additional Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding clause (a), Borrower shall promptly pay to Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR
Loans or hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its LIBOR Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or its Commitments (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income of such Lender or of its Lending Office for any of such LIBOR Loans by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Lending Office), or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (including without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder) or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).
(c)Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsection (a) and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 13.14(g) shall apply).
(d)Notification And Determination Of Additional Costs. Each of Administrative Agent, each Lender, and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to notify Borrower of any event occurring after the Effective Date entitling Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Participant to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Participant to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder. Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to Borrower (and in the case of a Lender or a Participant to Administrative Agent as well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section. Determinations by Administrative Agent, such Lender, or such Participant, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement to the contrary, Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, however, that, if the change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(e)Suspension Of Libor Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of LIBOR for any LIBO Rate Period:
(a)the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans as provided herein or is otherwise unable to determine LIBOR Rate, or
(b)the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such LIBO Rate Period is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such LIBO Rate Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans or continue LIBOR Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day of each current LIBO Rate Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either prepay such Loan or convert such Loan into a Variable Rate Loan. Any such determination by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 13.14(e) shall be consistently applied by Administrative Agent to similarly situated loans to similar borrowers.
(f)Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Loans into LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 13.14(g) shall be applicable).
(g)Treatment Of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to continue LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 13.14(c), Section 13.14(e), or Section 13.14(f) then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted into Variable Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current LIBO Rate Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a conversion required by Section 13.14(c), Section 13.14(e), or Section 13.14(f) on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 13.14 that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:
(i) | to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Variable Rate Loans; and |
(ii) | all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or continued instead as Variable Rate Loans, and all Variable Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Variable Rate Loans. |
If such Lender gives notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 13.14(c) or 13.14(f) that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Variable Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding LIBO Rate Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts and LIBO Rate Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.
(h)Change Of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 2.6(g), 13.14(a) through (e) or 13.14(g) to reduce the liability of Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.
(i)Assumptions Concerning Funding Libor Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 13.14 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant LIBO Rate Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article.
(j)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, a Lender shall not be entitled to any compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.14 to the extent such Lender is not imposing such charges or requesting such compensation from borrowers that are subject to similar provisions.
13.15 Taxes.
(a)Applicable Law. For purposes of this Section, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
(b)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 13.15) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d)Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.13 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection.
(f)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(g)Status of Lenders.
(i) | Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup |
withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) | Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person, |
(A) | any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), 2 executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding Tax; |
(B) | any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: |
(I) | in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; |
(II) | executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; |

(IV) | to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; |
(C) | any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and |
(D) | if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. |
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 13.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 13.15), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 13.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(i)Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.6(g), Sections 13.14 and/or 13.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any indemnified taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Sections 2.6(g), 13.14 and/or 13.15, then such Lender shall promptly use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.6(g), 13.14 and/or 13.15, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment, provided such costs and expenses do not exceed the amount so eliminated or reduced. Such Lender shall keep Borrower advised of all such efforts to designate a different lending office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder.
(b)If (w) any Lender is entitled to and requests compensation under Section 2.6(g) or Section 13.14, or (x) if Borrower is required to pay any indemnified taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.6(g) or this Section 13.15, or (y) if any Lender becomes Defaulting Lender, or (z) any Lender has refused to consent to any proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent with respect to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that, pursuant to Section 13.12, requires the consent of all Lenders or each Lender affected thereby and with respect to which Lenders constituting the Requisite Lenders have consented to such proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 13.12), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.6(g), 13.14 or 13.15) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.6(g) or Section 13.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.6(g) or Section 13.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, and (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender’s refusal to consent to a proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent, the assignee shall approve the proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
(j)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 13.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
13.16 ADDITIONAL SECURITY INTEREST. Borrower hereby grants and assigns to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a security interest, to secure payment and performance of all obligations, in all of Borrower’s right, title and interest, now or hereafter acquired, to all amounts at any time payable to Borrower under any Swap Agreement.
13.17 SIGNS. Administrative Agent may place on the Property reasonable signs standard to construction loan transactions stating that construction financing is being provided by Lenders.
13.18 LENDER’S AGENTS. Administrative Agent and/or any Lender may designate an agent or independent contractor to exercise any of such Person’s rights under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents. Any reference to Administrative Agent or any Lender in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall include Administrative Agent’s and such Lender’s agents, employees or independent contractors.
13.19 TAX SERVICE. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is authorized to secure, at Borrower’s expense, a tax service contract with a third party vendor which shall provide tax information on the Property satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
13.20 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (a) ARISING UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE MODIFICATION THEREOF OR (b) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS (AS NOW OR HEREAFTER MODIFIED) OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION IS NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT THEY MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY.
13.21 SEVERABILITY. If any provision or obligation under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been a part of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, provided, however, that if the rate of interest or any other amount payable under the Notes or this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the right of collectability therefor, are declared to be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable, Lenders’ obligations to make advances under the Loan Documents shall not be enforceable by Borrower.
13.22 TIME. Time is of the essence of each and every term of this Agreement.
13.23 HEADINGS. All article, section or other headings appearing in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents are for convenience of reference only and shall be disregarded in construing this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents.
13.24 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent preempted by federal laws. Borrower and all persons and entities in any manner obligated to Lender or Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents consent to the jurisdiction of any federal or state court within the State of New York having proper venue and also consent to service of process by any means authorized by New York or federal law.
13.25 USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE. COMPLIANCE. The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56) and federal regulations issued with respect thereto require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, Administrative Agent (for itself and/or as Administrative Agent for all Lenders hereunder) may from time-to-time request, and Borrower shall provide to Administrative Agent, Borrower’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with federal law. An “account” for this purpose may include, without limitation, a deposit account, cash management service, a transaction or asset account, a credit account, a loan or other extension of credit, and/or other financial services product.
13.26 ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT DELIVERIES. Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be delivered by electronic communication and delivery, including, the Internet, e-mail or intranet websites to which the Administrative Agent and each Lender have access (including a commercial, third-party website such as www.Edgar.com <http://www.Edgar.com> or a website sponsored or hosted by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower) provided that (A) the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article 3 (provided, however, the foregoing shall not limit Administrative Agent from delivering copies of such information to Borrower or a Lender by electronic communication and delivery in accordance with this Section 13.26) and (B) the Lender has not notified the Administrative Agent or Borrower that it cannot or does not want to receive electronic communications. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic delivery pursuant to procedures approved by it for all or particular notices or communications. Documents or notices delivered electronically shall be deemed to have been delivered twenty-four (24) hours after the date and time on which the Administrative Agent or Borrower posts such documents or the documents become available on a commercial website and the Administrative Agent or Borrower notifies each Lender of said posting and provides a link thereto provided if such notice or other communication is not sent or posted during the normal business
hours of the recipient, said posting date and time shall be deemed to have commenced as of 9:00 a.m. on the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Borrower shall be required to deliver paper copies of any documents to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender that requests such paper copies until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery of or to maintain paper copies of the documents delivered electronically, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the Borrower with any such request for delivery. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it of paper copies and maintaining its paper or electronic documents. For avoidance of doubt, this provision doesn’t apply to any notices required to be delivered from Borrower to Administrative Agent or a Lender or from Administrative Agent or a Lender to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement unless otherwise agreed to by Borrower and Administrative Agent (provided, however, except as otherwise set forth in clauses (A) and (B) above, the foregoing shall not limit Administrative Agent from delivering to Lenders copies of any such notices by electronic communication and delivery in accordance with this Section 13.26 to the extent such notices are required to be delivered to Lenders hereunder).

In no contingency or event whatsoever shall interest charged in respect of the Loan evidenced hereby, however such interest may be characterized or computed, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. If such a court determines that Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the highest rate applicable hereto, Lender shall, at Lender’s election, either (a) promptly refund such excess interest to Borrower or (b) credit such excess to the principal balance hereof. This provision shall control over every other provision of all agreements between Borrower and Lender.
Whenever possible each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Note shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Note.

Section 1.15 Independent Contractor Services.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Manager and Owner acknowledge and agree as follows:

In all cases in which such Independent Contractor is an affiliate of Manager, the nature of the affiliation and the terms of the engagement of such affiliate shall be disclosed to Owner.

Manager shall have the right to enter into (and amend, modify and terminate) such agreements in the name of Owner as Owner’s agent. Manager may employ brokers/consultants to assist Manager in performance of these Sponsorship Services.

COMPENSATION
Section 3.1 Management Fee.
(1) Owner shall pay to Manager for its management services performed hereunder a fee (the "Management Fee") equal to five percent (5%) of all amounts received by Owner (or by Manager on Owner's behalf) with respect to:
(a) Minimum annual rent from Tenants and department stores at the Development;
(b) Percentage rent from Tenants and department stores at the Development;
(c) Common area maintenance charges (excluding any administrative fee or taxes) received from
Tenants and department stores at the Development;
(d) Net profit, if any, from the sale of electricity and/or any other utilities at the Development
(including any net profit from Subtenant HVAC charges); and
(e) Miscellaneous income derived from the Development, including, without limitation, the amount
by which CAM and promotion receipts exceed CAM and promotion expenses under all leases
which provide for fixed CAM and/or fixed promotional charges.
(2) The Management Fee shall be paid by Owner to Manager monthly in advance on the first day of each month based on the projected Management Fee for such month as set forth in the annual budget (as revised from time to time), subject to quarterly adjustments as hereinafter provided.
(3) Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter, Manager shall determine the actual Management Fee due Manager for the previous calendar quarter. If the total amount paid by Owner to Manager for such calendar quarter is less than the total amount due from Owner to Manager for that calendar quarter, the amount of such deficiency shall be added to the amount of the next monthly installment of Management Fee due hereunder. If the total amount paid by Owner to Manager for any calendar quarter exceeds the total amount due from Owner to Manager for any calendar quarter, the amount of such excess shall be credited against the next monthly installment(s) of Management Fee due hereunder.
Section 3.2 Leasing Commissions.
(1) Owner shall pay to Manager a commission for each Lease executed by Owner and any Tenant during the term of this Agreement covering premises at the Development (whether or not the Tenant opens for business at the Development during the term of this Agreement) in an amount equal to five percent (5%) per annum, of the product of (a) the average minimum annual rent for the term of the Lease and (b) the number of years in the lease term; provided that in no event shall such amount exceed thirty percent (30%) of the average minimum annual rent for the term of the Lease (“Leasing Commission”). If the rent cannot be calculated from the face of the Lease, the average minimum annual rent will be estimated in good faith by Manager based on the projected first full year sales volume by the Tenant.
(2) The Leasing Commission shall be paid in two equal installments:
(a) The first installment shall be paid within thirty (30) days after full Lease execution; and
(b) The second installment shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the Tenant first opens for
business to the public.
(3) If any Tenant fails to open for business to the public, the second installment of the Leasing Commission shall not be due from Owner to Manager unless Owner (through litigation or otherwise) obtains a cash settlement from any such Tenant for its failure to open for business to the public. In such event, Owner shall pay to Manager an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the net settlement received by Owner from any such Tenant, up to an amount equal to the total Leasing Commission which would have otherwise been payable to Manager if such Tenant had opened for business to the public.
(4) If any Lease for which Manager is entitled to a Leasing Commission pursuant to this Section 3.2 are arranged by Manager through an outside broker, the Leasing Commission payable to Manager for that Lease as provided in this Section 3.2 shall be reduced by the amount paid to such outside broker unless otherwise agreed to between Owner and Manager.
(5) If the average minimum annual rent is unknown at the time the leasing commission is due, Manager shall estimate such commission based on the anticipated first (1st) year sales by the tenant and such amount shall be trued-up based on actual first year sales, as soon as practical, and such trued-up amount shall be deemed to be the “average minimum annual rent” for each year of the term for purposes of calculating the leasing commission. In addition, for so-called “gross” leases where the tenant is not required to pay separate common area maintenance charges, tax reimbursement, insurance reimbursement and/or other so-called “side charges,” Manager shall in good faith determine the estimated side charges based on the then-current budget (but not greater than the percentage that the budgeted side charges represent of total occupancy costs of the Development for the year), and such estimated
amount shall be deducted from the gross rent in determining the average minimum annual rent for purposes of calculating the above leasing commissions.
Section 3.3 Compensation for Lease or Sale of Peripheral Property.
(1) Owner shall compensate Manager with respect to the sale of any parcel of peripheral land associated with the Development in an amount equal to six percent (6%) of the gross sales price for each such parcel.

If any such sale fails to close due to the default of the purchaser, Owner shall pay to Manager one-half (1/2) of all sums recovered or retained by Owner from the purchaser (including, but not limited to, any deposit made by the purchaser in connection with such transaction), up to an amount equal to the total compensation which would have otherwise been payable to Manager in the event such transaction had closed.
(2) Owner shall pay to Manager a Leasing Commission for each Lease executed by Owner and Tenant during the term of this Agreement covering all or any part of the peripheral property associated with the Development (whether or not the Tenant opens for business on the peripheral property during the term of this Agreement) in an amount equal to five percent (5%) per annum, of the product of (a) the average minimum annual rent for the term of the Lease and (b) the number of years in the Lease term; provided that in no event shall such amount exceed thirty percent (30%) of the average minimum annual rent for the term of the Lease.
(3) The Leasing Commission provided in Section 3.3(2) above shall be paid in two (2) equal installments:
(a) The first installment shall be paid within thirty (30) days after full lease execution; and
(b) The second installment shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the Tenant first opens for
business to the public.
(4) If any Tenant fails to open for business to the public, the second installment of the Leasing Commission provided in Section 3.3(2) above shall not be due from Owner to Manager unless Owner (through litigation or otherwise) obtains a cash settlement from any such Tenant for its failure to open for business to the public. In such event, Owner shall pay to Manager an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the net settlement received by Owner from any such Tenant, up to an amount equal to the total Leasing Commission which would have otherwise been payable to Manager if such Tenant had opened for business to the public.
(5) If any Lease for which Manager is entitled to a Leasing Commission pursuant to Section 3.3(2) above are arranged by Manager through an outside broker, the leasing commission payable to Manager for that Lease as provided in this Section 3.3 shall be reduced by the amount paid to such outside broker.

(2) As compensation for any Special Services provided by Manager to a member of Owner, solely in respect of its interest in Owner, the Special Services Fee Amount relating thereto shall be the obligation solely of such member of Owner.
(3) All third party expenses incurred by Manager in connection with any Special Services, provided by Manager at Owner's request, including, but not limited to, travel, business expenses, legal fees, and any outside agent's commission or vendor fees, shall be a direct obligation of Owner, or if paid by Manager shall be reimbursed to Manager by Owner.

If Manager procures a lease for an in-line space (i.e. enclosed store) in connection with a sponsorship agreement, in lieu of the Sponsorship Commission and reimbursement to Manager’s third party broker, Manager shall be paid a commission and otherwise be reimbursed in accordance with Sections 3.2 and 3.4 hereof.

I.Assignment of Management Agreement. As additional collateral security for the Loan, Borrower hereby conditionally transfers, sets over and assigns to Administrative Agent all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Management Agreement, said transfer and assignment to automatically become a present, unconditional assignment, at Administrative Agent’s option exercised by written notice to Borrower and Manager, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default. After exercise of Administrative Agent’s rights under this Paragraph 1, Manager shall, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, continue to provide management, leasing and other services for a period of time not to exceed six (6) months following the foreclosure of the Property or a deed in lieu thereof in accordance with, and to the extent provided for in the Management Agreement, subject to being paid as provided therein for the periods such services are performed on behalf of Administrative Agent and subject to the termination rights provided for therein.
II.Termination. At such time as the Loan is paid in full and the Mortgage is released or assigned of record, this Assignment and all of Administrative Agent’s right, title and interest hereunder with respect to the Management Agreement shall terminate.
III.Borrower’s Covenants. Borrower hereby covenants with Administrative Agent that during the term of this Assignment: (a) Borrower shall not transfer the responsibility for the management of the Property from Manager to any other person or entity without prior written notification to Administrative Agent and, to the extent required pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (b) Borrower shall not terminate or amend any of the terms or provisions of the Management Agreement in violation of the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement; and (c) Borrower shall, in the manner provided for in this Assignment, give notice to Administrative Agent of any written notice or information that Borrower receives which indicates that Manager is terminating the Management Agreement or that Manager is otherwise discontinuing its management, leasing, or provision of other services to the Property.

VII.Consent and Agreement by Manager. Manager hereby acknowledges and consents to this Assignment and agrees that Manager will act in conformity with the provisions of this Assignment and Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder or otherwise related to the Management Agreement.
