Borrower agrees that the damages to be sustained by the Lenders for the detriment caused by any late payment are extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain, and that the amount of five cents ($0.05) for each one dollar due is a reasonable estimate of such damages, does not constitute interest, and is not a penalty.
     (d) Number of Interest Periods. There may be no more than four (4) different Interest Periods for LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at the same time.
     (e) Computations. Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and the actual number of days elapsed.
     (f) Initial Interest Period. Borrower shall select an Interest Period for each LIBOR Rate Loan not later than 11:00 a.m. on the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the proposed commencement of such LIBOR Rate Loan. Such notice by Borrower of its selection shall be by telephone or telecopy, confirmed immediately in writing if by telephone, in the form of a written notice of its selection, specifying (i) the proposed date of such proposed commencement of such LIBOR Rate Loan, and (ii) the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder. Each notice of its selection shall be irrevocable by and binding on Borrower once given. Promptly after receipt of a notice of its selection, Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed

33


 

selection. If Borrower fails to timely select such Interest Period as aforesaid, the Interest Period shall be a one-month Interest Period.
     (g) Continuation. So long as no Unmatured Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall maintain such LIBOR Rate Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan. Each new Interest Period selected under this Section 3.2(g) shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by Borrower giving to Administrative Agent a written notice of Continuation not later than 11:00 a.m. on the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation. Such notice by Borrower of a Continuation shall be by telephone or telecopy, confirmed immediately in writing if by telephone, in the form of a written notice of Continuation, specifying (i) the proposed date of such Continuation, (ii) the LIBOR Rate Loans subject to such Continuation and (iii) the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder. Each notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on Borrower once given. Promptly after receipt of a notice of Continuation, Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed Continuation. If Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any such LIBOR Rate Loan in accordance with this Section 3.2(g), such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, continue as a LIBOR Rate Loan with the Interest Period previously selected by Borrower for such Loan. If an Unmatured Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, continue as a LIBOR Rate Loan with a one-month Interest Period.
     (h) Usury. In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by Borrower or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by Borrower under Applicable Law. Borrower agrees to the effective rate of interest provided herein plus any additional rate of interest resulting from any other charges in the nature of interest paid or to be paid by Borrower in connection with the Notes or this Agreement.
     (i) Agreement Regarding Interest and Charges. The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 3.2(a) and Section 3.3(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, arrangement fees, amendment fees, up-front fees, commitment fees, facility fees, unused fee, exit fees, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges,

34


 

funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any other similar amounts are charges made to compensate Administrative Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. Any use by Borrower of certificates of deposit issued by any Lender or other accounts maintained with any Lender has been and shall be voluntary on the part of Borrower. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.
     3.3 Payments.
     (a) Payments of Interest. Commencing January 1, 2011 and on the first (1st) day of each calendar month thereafter, Borrower shall pay accrued interest on each Loan in arrears. In addition, upon the payment, prepayment or Continuation of such Loan, Borrower shall pay accrued interest on the principal amount so paid, prepaid, or Continued. Interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such interest is payable and to Borrower. All determinations by Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error (that is an obvious mathematical error).
     (b) Principal Payments. In addition to the interest payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.3(a) above, commencing on November 1, 2012 and on the first day of each month thereafter through and including the month in which the Maturity Date occurs, Borrower shall make monthly payments of principal in the amounts set forth on Schedule 3.3(b) attached hereto and incorporated herein.
     (c) Repayment of Loans. Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Loans, together with all other amounts then outstanding under this Agreement, on the Maturity Date.
     3.4 Prepayments.
     (a) Optional. Subject to Section 3.9(d), Borrower may prepay any Loan at any time without premium or penalty. Borrower shall give Administrative Agent at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the prepayment of any Loan. Prepayments shall be accompanied by the payment of all accrued interest on the amount so prepaid and, in the case of prepayments of each LIBOR Rate Loan, by the amounts set forth in Section 3.9(a)(i) and Section 3.9(d).
     (b) Mandatory. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, exceeds the amount of the total Commitment in effect at such time,

35


 

Borrower shall immediately pay to Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Lenders the amount of such excess. Such payment shall be applied by Administrative Agent to pay all amounts of principal outstanding on the Loans. If Borrower is required to pay any outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans by reason of this Section 3.4(b) prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor, Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 3.9(d).
     (c) Out of Balance Payments. If Administrative Agent deems any Project Tranche to not be In Balance, Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after written request by Administrative Agent, deposit into an account maintained by Administrative Agent (and hereby pledged to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders as additional security for the Loans) an amount equal to the amount Administrative Agent determines would be required to be repaid in order for the applicable Project Tranche to be In Balance; provided that if the Work for the applicable Project has been completed, Borrower shall prepay the Loan rather than make such deposit. The sums thus deposited with Administrative Agent will be disbursed by Administrative Agent to complete the Work for the applicable Project prior to any further disbursement of any Loan proceeds. No interest shall be payable to Borrower on the amounts so deposited pursuant to this subparagraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.4(c), in the event that Borrower is required to deposit and does actually deposit funds with Administrative Agent in order for a Project Tranche to be In Balance and the applicable Project is thereafter completed in accordance with the terms of Section 5.6(b) and subsequent savings occur in the cost of the Work for such Project which, had they occurred prior to the deposit required under this Section 3.4(c), the Project Tranche would have been In Balance and no deposit would have been required, Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement in the amount of such savings which were deposited with the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.4(c).
     3.5 Extension of Maturity Date.
     (a) Extension Option. Borrower shall have the option (the “Extension Option”) to extend the Initial Maturity Date to the Extended Maturity Date upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent which must be satisfied prior to the Initial Maturity Date:
     (i) Extension Request. Borrower shall deliver written notice of such request (the “Extension Request”) to Administrative Agent not earlier than the date which is ninety (90) days prior to the Initial Maturity Date and not later than the date which is sixty (60) days prior to the Initial Maturity Date;
     (ii) Payment of the Extension Fee. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an extension fee for such extension, in an amount equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) of the Principal Balance as of the Initial Maturity Date;

36


 

     (iii) No Default. On the date the Extension Request is submitted and on the Initial Maturity Date, there shall exist no Unmatured Default or Event of Default;
     (iv) DSCR. Based on a Determination Date of September 1, 2013, each Project has achieved an Implied Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.40 to 1.0. In order to evidence the satisfaction of such Implied Debt Service Coverage Ratio, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent, an executed Debt Service Coverage Test for each Project on the form attached hereto as Exhibit I and certified by the Borrower as true, correct and complete and as fairly and accurately presenting the information contained therein. In the event this Debt Service Coverage Ratio is not met, Borrower may satisfy this Debt Service Coverage Ratio prior to the Initial Maturity Date by making a payment of principal on the Loans in an amount sufficient to bring this Debt Service Coverage Ratio into compliance, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion;
     (v) Completion of Project. At the time of the Extension Request, the lien-free full completion of the Work and the construction of each of the Improvements shall have been completed in a manner acceptable to Administrative Agent acting in good faith, in accordance with the Loan Documents and each Construction Schedule, and substantially in accordance with each of the Plans and Specifications. For the purposes of this provision, the completion of the Work and the construction of the Improvements shall be deemed to occur only at such time as Administrative Agent has received the following (A) certificate of completion from the Contractor attesting to final completion of the Work, (B) final, unconditional certificates of occupancy for each Property, and (C) construction date-down and interim mechanics’ lien endorsements to each Title Policy;
     (vi) Financial Statements. Borrower shall have delivered current financial statements regarding Borrower and the Payment and Completion Guarantor (dated not earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the Extension Request) and all other financial statements and other information as may be required under the Loan Documents regarding Borrower, the Payment and Completion Guarantor and the Property, shall have been submitted promptly to Administrative Agent, and there shall not have occurred, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, any event or condition which could constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence in the business or financial condition of Borrower or any Guarantor or in the Property from that which existed on the date of this Agreement;
     (vii) Costs and Expenses. Whether or not the extension becomes effective, Borrower shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the proposed extension (pre- and post-closing), including, without limitation, legal fees; all such costs and expenses incurred up to the time of Administrative Agent’s written agreement to the extension shall be due and payable prior to Administrative Agent’s execution

37


 

of that agreement (or if the proposed extension does not become effective, then upon demand by Administrative Agent), and any future failure to pay such amounts shall constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents;
     (viii) Guarantor’s Compliance Certificate. Borrower shall have delivered a Guarantor’s Compliance Certificate as required in accordance with the terms of the Payment and Completion Guaranty evidencing the Payment and Completion Guarantor’s compliance with the Payment and Completion Guarantor’s financial covenants set forth therein;
     (ix) Regulatory Requirements. All applicable regulatory requirements, including appraisal requirements, shall have been satisfied with respect to the extension; and
     (x) Additional Documents; Searches. Not later than the Initial Maturity Date, (A) the extension shall have been documented to Administrative Agent’s satisfaction by Borrower, each Guarantor, Administrative Agent, and all other parties deemed necessary by Administrative Agent; and (B) Administrative Agent shall have been provided with an updated title report and judgment and lien searches, and appropriate title insurance endorsements shall have been issued as required by Administrative Agent.
     3.6 Payments, Fees and Other General Provisions.
     (a) Payments by Borrower. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Administrative Agent at its Principal Office, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Subject to Section 3.6(b) and Section 3.6(d), Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, may (but shall not be obligated to) debit the amount of any such payment which is not made by such time from any special or general deposit account of Borrower with Administrative Agent. Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement, specify to Administrative Agent the amounts payable by Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received by Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender as provided by separate wiring instructions from such Lender no later than one (1) Business Day after receipt. If Administrative Agent fails to pay such amount to a Lender as provided in the previous sentence, Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable for the period of such extension. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by Administrative Agent is to be repaid, each Person

38


 

to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to Administrative Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.
     (b) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each borrowing from the Lenders under Section 3.1 shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of the fees under Section 3.1(e) shall be made for the account of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (ii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans by Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them, provided that if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Loans the outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in effect at the time such Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Loans being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; (iii) each payment of interest on Loans by Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amount of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; (iv) the making and Continuation of Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Section 3.9(f)) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of making of Loans) or their respective Loans (in the case of Continuations of Loans) and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; and (v) the Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Loans under Section 3.1, shall be in accordance with their respective Commitments. All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts in respect of the Loans shall be for the account of the Lenders.
     (c) Advances by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the specified date of borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the Loan to be made by such Lender on such date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Loan available to Administrative Agent on the date of the requested borrowing and Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower the amount of such Loan to be provided by such Lender and such Lender shall be liable to Administrative Agent for the amount of such advance. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower, and Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by Administrative Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from Borrower at the applicable rate for such Loan as provided in Section 3.2 or (ii) from a Lender at the

39


 

Federal Funds Rate. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Borrower does not waive any claim that it may have against a Defaulting Lender.
     (d) Sharing of Payments, Etc. If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by it to Borrower under this Agreement, or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by Borrower through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by Borrower to a Lender not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to some or all of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with Section 3.6(b), such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other applicable Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by such other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the applicable Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro rata in accordance with Section 3.6(b). To such end, all the applicable Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of Borrower.
     (e) Several Obligations. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.
     3.7 Defaulting Lenders.
     (a) Generally. If for any reason any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) shall fail or refuse to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party within the time period specified for performance of such obligation or, if no time period is specified, if such failure or refusal continues for a period of two (2) Business Days after notice from Administrative Agent, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to Administrative Agent, Borrower or Lenders under this Agreement or Applicable Law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of Administrative Agent or to be taken into

40


 

account in the calculation of all of the Lenders or the Requisite Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal. If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it has failed to make timely payment to Administrative Agent of any amount required to be paid to Administrative Agent hereunder, in addition to the other rights and remedies which Administrative Agent, Borrower or Lenders may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, Administrative Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. Any amounts received by Administrative Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall not be paid to such Defaulting Lender and shall be held uninvested by Administrative Agent and either applied against the purchase price of such Loans under Section 3.7(b) or paid to such Defaulting Lender upon the Defaulting Lender’s curing of its default.
     (b) Purchase or Cancellation of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Promptly after any Lender becomes a Delinquent Lender, Administrative Agent shall deliver notice (“Default Notice”) of same to the other Lenders. Any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire all of a Defaulting Lender’s Commitment as set forth in this Section 3.7(b). Any Lender desiring to exercise such right shall give written notice (“Purchase Notice”) thereof to Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender, the other Lenders and Borrower no sooner than two (2) Business Days and not later than fifteen (15) Business Days after Lenders receive the Default Notice and Defaulting Lender shall have an additional two (2) Business Days after receipt of the Purchase Notice to cure its default prior to Lender exercising such purchase right. If more than one Lender exercises such right resulting in greater funds than are necessary, the amount funded by each such Lender shall be reduced if necessary such that each purchasing Lender’s amount funded is in proportion to the Commitments of the other Lenders exercising such right (calculated without regard to the Commitments of the Defaulting Lender and any other Lender who has not elected to fund). If after such fifteenth (15th) Business Day, the Lenders have not elected to purchase all of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender and Defaulting Lender has not cured its default, then Borrower may, by giving written notice thereof to Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, either (i) demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee approved by Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.11(c) for the purchase price provided for below or (ii) terminate the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, whereupon such Defaulting Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (except as expressly provided in this Section 3.7(b)) provided that Defaulting Lender shall have an additional two (2) Business Days after receipt of such termination notice from Borrower to cure its default. No party

41


 

hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee, nor shall Administrative Agent or any Lender have any obligation whatsoever to fund any portion of the terminated commitment. Upon any such purchase or assignment, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and, notwithstanding Section 10.11(c), shall pay to Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500.00). The purchase price for the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the Principal Balance of the Loans outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Defaulting Lender. Prior to payment of such purchase price to a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent shall (i) be entitled to retain any amount from the purchase price that is due Administrative Agent from such Defaulting Lender hereunder and (ii) apply against such purchase price (as a credit to the purchaser) any amounts retained by Administrative Agent that Administrative Agent shall pay to such Defaulting Lender upon the closing of the purchase. The Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive amounts owed to it by Borrower under the Loan Documents which accrued prior to the date of the default by the Defaulting Lender, to the extent the same are received by Administrative Agent from or on behalf of Borrower. There shall be no recourse against any Lender or Administrative Agent for the payment of such sums except to the extent of the receipt of payments from any other party or in respect of the Loans.
     3.8 Taxes.
     (a) Taxes Generally. All payments by Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future excise, stamp or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding (x) franchise taxes, and (y) any taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s assets, net income, receipts or branch profits (such non-excluded items being collectively called “Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any Applicable Law, then Borrower will:
     (i) pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;
     (ii) promptly forward to Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and
     (iii) pay to Administrative Agent for its account or the account of the applicable Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as is

42


 

necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Administrative Agent or such Lender will equal the full amount that Administrative Agent or such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.
     (b) Tax Indemnification. If Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to Administrative Agent, for its account or the account of the respective Lender, as the case may be, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section 3.8(b), a distribution hereunder by Administrative Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by Borrower.
     (c) Tax Forms. Prior to the date that any Lender or Participant organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America becomes a party hereto, such Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (but only so long as such Lender or Participant is or remains lawfully able to do so) such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, properly completed, currently effective and duly executed by such Lender or Participant indicating whether payments to it hereunder and under the Notes are (i) not subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax or (ii) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax under the Internal Revenue Code because such payment is either effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender or Participant of a trade or business in the United States or totally exempt from United States Federal withholding tax by reason of the application of the provisions of a treaty to which the United States is a party or such Lender is otherwise wholly exempt; provided that nothing herein (including, without limitation, the failure or inability to provide any of such certificates, documents or other evidence) shall relieve Borrower of its obligations under this Section 3.8. In addition, any such Lender or Participant shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (but only so long as such Lender or Participant is or remains lawfully able to do so) further copies of any such certificate, document or other evidence on or before the date that any such certificate, document or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete.
     3.9 Yield Protection, etc.
     (a) Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.
     (i) Additional Costs. 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 reasonably determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Rate Loans 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 Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect

43


 

of its Loans or its Commitment (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), 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 Loans or its Commitment (other than taxes which are excluded from the definition of Taxes pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.8(a)); or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other reserve requirement to the extent utilized in the determination of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender, 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).
     (ii) Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Rate Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of Section 3.8(a), 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 Rate Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Rate 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 Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.9(f) shall apply).
     (iii) Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement entitling Administrative Agent or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section 3.9(a) as promptly as practicable; provided, however, the failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to give such notice shall not release Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.9(a), Administrative Agent or a Lender, as the case may be, shall not be entitled to compensation for any such amount relating to any period ending more than six (6) months prior to the date that Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, first notifies Borrower in writing thereof. Administrative Agent and or such Lender agrees to furnish to Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by Administrative Agent or such Lender for compensation under this Section 3.9(a). Absent manifest error (that is an obvious mathematical error), determinations by Administrative Agent or any Lender of the effect of any

44


 

Regulatory Change shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.
     (b) Suspension of LIBOR Rate Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period:
     (i) Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, or
     (ii) Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate as determined by Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans for such Interest Period;
then Administrative Agent shall give 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 Rate Loans or Continue LIBOR Rate Loans and Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan, either repay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.
     (c) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if it becomes unlawful for any Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof (with a copy to Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Rate Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 3.9(f) shall be applicable).
     (d) Compensation. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender determines is attributable to:
     (i) any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Rate Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
     (ii) any failure by Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Section 5.1 to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Rate Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or Continue a LIBOR Rate Loan on the requested date of such Continuation.

45


 

Upon Borrower’s request, any Lender requesting compensation under this Section 3.9(d) shall provide Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Each Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender and may include, without limitation, administrative costs as a component of such loss, cost or expense. Absent manifest error, determinations by any Lender in any such statement shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.
     (e) Affected Lenders. If (i) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.8 or Section 3.9(a), and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, or (ii) the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans or to Continue LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.9(a)(ii) or Section 3.9(c), but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections, then, so long as there does not then exist any Unmatured Default or Event of Default, Borrower, within thirty (30) days of such request for compensation or suspension, as applicable, may either (x) demand that each Lender consent to the assignment of the Loans of such Lender (the “Affected Lender”) to an Eligible Assignee, and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Commitments to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.11(c) for a purchase price equal to the aggregate principal balance of Loans then owing to the Affected Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or (y) pay to the Affected Lender the aggregate principal balance of Loans then owing to the Affected Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, whereupon the Affected Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Each of Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section 3.9(e), but at no time shall Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by Borrower of its rights under this Section 3.9(e) shall be at Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to Administrative Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section 3.9(e) shall not in any way limit Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 3.8, Section 3.9(a) or Section 3.9(d).
     (f) Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans or to Continue LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.9(a)(ii), Section 3.9(b) or Section 3.9(c), then such Lender’s LIBOR Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Rate Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 3.9(a)(ii) or Section 3.9(c), 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 3.9(a) or Section 3.9(c) that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

46


 

     (i) to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Rate Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
     (ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans.
If such Lender gives notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.9(a) or Section 3.9(c) that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.9(f) no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Loans that are Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.
     (g) Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Section 3.8, Section 3.9(a) or Section 3.9(c) 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.
     (h) Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 3 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Rate Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Section 3.
     3.10 Regarding Partial Releases. Administrative Agent agrees that Administrative Agent will provide Borrower with a partial release respecting any Property (singly and collectively, a “Partial Release”), in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, upon the satisfaction of the following conditions, as determined solely by Administrative Agent:
     (a) Administrative Agent shall have received not less than sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of the estimated date of the proposed Partial Release;
     (b) There exists no Event of Default or Unmatured Default;

47


 

     (c) Contemporaneously with such Partial Release, there shall be a sale of a Project pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement or a refinancing of such Property pursuant to a loan transaction; and
     (d) Administrative Agent shall have first received all of the following with respect to the Property to be released:
     (i) a copy of the applicable purchase and sale agreement or loan commitment, certified by Borrower to be a true and complete statement of the terms of the sale or the refinance, as applicable, with respect thereto;
     (ii) payment in full of an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the funded amount of the Project Tranche for that Property (the “Release Price”) in certified funds (or other good and sufficient funds satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) which are immediately available to Administrative Agent without any escrow or other condition, all as determined solely by Administrative Agent; provided, however, that the amount of any payment made in connection with the delivery of each Partial Release shall be in addition to all amounts due and payable by Borrower as of the date that payment thereof is made to Administrative Agent;
     (iii) if any, payment of Administrative Agent’s out-of-pocket reasonable expenses, including the fees and expenses of counsel, in connection with each Partial Release;
     (iv) a Debt Service Coverage Ratio Test for the remaining Property evidencing the remaining Property’s compliance with the Debt Service Coverage Ratio set forth in Section 7.34, if then applicable;
     (v) a Debt Service Coverage Ratio Test for each remaining Property evidencing each remaining Property’s compliance with the Debt Service Coverage Ratio set forth in Section 7.35; and
     (vi) such other documents, certificates, opinions or assurances as Administrative Agent may reasonably request including, but not limited to, a copy of the closing statement or other evidence of the purchase price or loan amount satisfactory to Administrative Agent with respect to the Property to be released under each Partial Release.
Amounts received by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall be applied first to the payment of any unpaid costs and expenses, then to any accrued and unpaid interest, then to the outstanding principal balance of the Loans related to the applicable Project Tranche being released, and then to any amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent shall only provide a Partial Release in the ordinary course of business, only after Administrative Agent has received payment in full of each applicable Release Price.

     5.7 Interest Reserve. An amount equal to Two Hundred Sixty-Eight Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy-Nine Dollars ($268,879.00) exists as a line item in the Ames Budget for the payment of interest under the Loan (the “Ames Interest Reserve”). An amount equal to Two Hundred Sixty-Nine Thousand Eight Hundred Thirty-Six Dollars ($269,836.00) exists as a line item in the Clarksville Budget for the payment of interest under the Loan (the “Clarksville Interest Reserve”). An amount equal to Three Hundred Thirty-Six Thousand Five Hundred Ninety-Nine Dollars ($336,599.00) exists as a line item in the Fort Collins Budget for the payment of interest under the Loan (the “Fort Collins Interest Reserve”).

If Borrower provides Administrative Agent with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that the cash proceeds available to Borrower from the applicable Project are in an amount which is insufficient to make the payment of interest on the Principal Balance of the applicable Project Tranche on the next interest payment date, together with such other information as Administrative Agent may reasonably require, Administrative Agent agrees to make Loan Advances on the next monthly interest payment date to itself directly for such

61


 

applicable interest payment. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to disburse funds from the Interest Reserve if there exists an Unmatured Default, an Event of Default or there are sufficient cash proceeds available to Borrower from the applicable Project to make the payment of interest on the Principal Balance of the applicable Project Tranche. If the amounts contained in the Interest Reserve are insufficient to pay interest on the Loans thereafter to become due, as estimated by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall deposit with Administrative Agent sufficient funds so as to maintain an adequate Interest Reserve.

or operation of any Project, or any portion thereof, Borrower shall cause such proceedings to be vigorously contested in good faith, and in the event of an adverse ruling or decision, prosecute all allowable appeals therefrom, and shall, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, resist the entry or seek the stay of any temporary or permanent injunction that may be entered, and use its best efforts to bring about a favorable and speedy disposition of all such proceedings. All such proceedings, including without limitation, all of Administrative Agent’s costs, and fees and disbursements of Administrative Agent’s counsel in connection with any such proceedings, whether or not Administrative Agent is a party thereto, shall be at Borrower’s expense. To the extent that Administrative Agent incurs any such expenses, including attorneys’ fees and fees and charges for court costs, bonds and the like, Borrower shall reimburse Administrative Agent for such expenses within ten (10) days following the written request of Administrative Agent and the amount due Administrative Agent shall bear interest from the date which is ten (10) days following such written request until repaid to Administrative Agent at the Default Rate. The foregoing provisions of this Section 7.12 shall not limit or affect the provisions of Section 8(l) below.
     7.13 Disposal and Encumbrance of Property. Except as specifically provided for herein (including, without limitation, the entering into any lease for Personal Property in amounts as permitted herein) or in any of the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall not, without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent (unless such consent is not required, as expressly provided in the Loan Documents), suffer, permit or enter into any agreement for any sale, lease, transfer, or in any way encumber or dispose of or grant or suffer any security or other assignment (collateral or otherwise) of or in all or any portion of any Project. Any consent given by Administrative Agent or any waiver of default under this Section 7.13, shall not constitute a consent to, or waiver of any right, remedy or power of Administrative Agent under any subsequent default hereunder.
     7.14 Insurance. Borrower shall, at its expense, during the term of this Agreement, procure and keep in force, or cause to be kept in force, the insurance coverages described in Exhibit H attached to this Agreement and conforming to the insurance requirements contained in the Mortgage, with the exception of those requirements specifically waived in writing by Administrative Agent. In addition, the policies of insurance to be obtained and maintained by Borrower under the provisions of this Loan Agreement shall be issued by responsible insurance carriers with a Best’s rating of no less than A-/VII, licensed to do business in the applicable State, who are acceptable to Administrative Agent and shall be in such form and with such endorsements (including a mortgagee clause in favor of Administrative Agent), waivers and deductibles (in no event to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00)) as Administrative Agent shall designate or approve. Without limitation on the foregoing:
     (a) All policies shall name Borrower as the insured, and (with the exception of policies for workmen’s compensation insurance) shall name Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, as mortgagee and as an additional insured (under a standard non-contributing mortgagee protection clause, in form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, attached to such policy or policies whenever applicable).
     (b) All policies shall contain: (1) the agreement of the insurer to give Administrative Agent at least thirty (30) days’ written notice prior to cancellation or non-

71


 

renewal (provided, however, that this subsection (1) will only apply to the property insurance policies); (2) a waiver of subrogation rights against Administrative Agent and, if available, Borrower; (3) an agreement that such policies are primary and non-contributing with any insurance that may be carried by Administrative Agent; (4) a statement that the insurance shall not be invalidated should any insured waive in writing prior to a loss any or all right of recovery against any party for loss accruing to the property described in the insurance policy; and (5) if obtainable, a provision that no act or omission of Borrower shall affect or limit the obligation of the insurance carrier to pay the amount of any loss sustained. As of the date hereof, and subject to any changes in such requirements which Administrative Agent may make from time to time pursuant to its rights under this Section 7.14, each policy of property insurance hereunder shall contain a lender’s loss payable endorsement, lender clause, or other non-contributory mortgagee clause of similar form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent in favor of Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, as a mortgagee.
Borrower is hereby notified pursuant to the Illinois Collateral Protection Act (815 ILCS 180/1 et. seq.) that unless Borrower provides Administrative Agent with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Administrative Agent may purchase the required insurance at Borrower’s expense to protect Administrative Agent’s interest, on behalf of the Lenders, in the Property. This insurance may, but need not, protect Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders’ interests. The coverage that Administrative Agent purchases may not pay any claim that Borrower makes or any claim that is made against Borrower in connection with any Property. Borrower may later cancel any insurance purchased by Administrative Agent, but only after providing Administrative Agent with evidence that Borrower has obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If Administrative Agent purchases insurance for any Property, Borrower will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest at the Default Rate and any other charges Administrative Agent may impose in connection with the placement of the insurance until the effective date of the cancellation or the expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance shall be added to Borrower’s total outstanding balance or obligation and shall constitute additional Obligations. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance Borrower may be able to obtain on its own. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent on demand any premiums so paid with interest thereon at the Default Rate set forth in this Agreement, from the time of the advance for such payment by Administrative Agent, and said advance and interest shall be part of the Obligations.
     7.15 Performance of Obligations; Notice of Default. Borrower shall promptly and fully perform and comply in all respects with the obligations, terms, agreements, provisions and requirements of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and will not permit to occur any default or breach hereunder or thereunder. Borrower shall promptly give to Administrative Agent notice of the occurrence of any Unmatured Default or of any event that would constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence.
     7.16 Material Subcontracts. If requested by Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after being executed, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of each Material Subcontract entered into by the Contractor. Borrower shall not enter into any contract or subcontract that shall cause any Project Tranche to not be In Balance.

     7.17 Restrictions Affecting Borrower. Borrower covenants and agrees that, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, there shall not occur any amendment or modification of the articles of organization, certificate of limited partnership, or articles of incorporation, as applicable, establishing any Borrower, any Guarantor or any Signing Entity. At all times prior to the repayment of the Loans, (a) no Borrower shall enter into any contract or agreement for the provision of services or otherwise with respect to any Project with any member or manager or Affiliate of any Borrower unless such contract or agreement is an arms-length, market rate agreement and is cancelable upon sixty (60) days written notice from any owner of the applicable Project; and (b) no Borrower, Guarantor, or Signing Entity shall be dissolved or its existence terminated.
     7.18 Use of Receipts; Limitation on Distributions.
     (a) Borrower shall cause all rents and other income and receipts realized and received by Borrower, if any, from and in connection with the Project to be used for the purpose of paying the actual costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with the ownership, operation, management and repair of the Project, including without limitation, operating expenses, real estate taxes, insurance premiums and interest on the Loans.
     (b) Each Property Borrower shall maintain all of its bank accounts at The PrivateBank and Trust Company, and shall maintain all of its cash and investments on deposit in deposit accounts at The PrivateBank and Trust Company.

     (d) If any Unmatured Default or Event of Default shall occur and be continuing under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Property Borrowers shall not, directly or indirectly, make any “Distribution” (as defined below). In addition, the Property Borrowers shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time make any Distribution that would cause their cash and cash equivalents remaining after such Distribution to be less than an amount equal to the aggregate of (i) the total amount of the security and other deposits received by such Property Borrowers from tenants of the Property, (ii) the total amount of accrued but unpaid real estate taxes on the Property, based on the last full year tax bill or bills received by the Property Borrowers, or if the Property Borrowers have not yet received a tax bill or bills on the Property on an improved basis, based on a reasonable estimate by the Property Borrowers of the annual real taxes estate on the Property on an improved basis, and minus any amount held in a real estate tax escrow by Administrative Agent, and (iii) a reasonable working capital reserve. For such purposes, the term “Distribution” means (A) any distribution of money or property to any owner of a direct or indirect interest in a Property Borrower (each an “Owner”) or to any Affiliate of any Owner, (B) any loan or advance to any Owner or to any Affiliate of any Owner,

     7.21 OFAC.

     7.22 Loan Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay all of the Loan Expenses. Any Loan Expenses paid by Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders shall bear interest commencing on the date which is ten (10) days following demand for repayment thereof is made by Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders until repaid to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, at the Default Rate and shall be paid by Borrower upon demand, or may be paid by Lenders at any time by disbursement of proceeds of the Loans. Any Loan Expenses paid by Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders shall be reimbursed to Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders by Borrower regardless of whether there shall be any disbursements of the Loans.

All management and brokerage contracts and any material amendment, extension or substitution thereof must be approved in writing by Lender prior to the execution of the same. In the event that Administrative Agent grants such consent, Borrower shall cause the manager or broker under any agreement to enter into an agreement with Administrative Agent, acceptable in form and substance to Administrative Agent, pursuant to which said manager or broker subordinates its liens for unpaid fees to the liens of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

The organizational documents of each Property Borrower shall limit its purpose to the acquisition, operation, management and disposition of the applicable Property and/or matters relating thereto, shall adopt the covenants contained in this Section 7.24, and such purposes shall not be materially amended without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each Property Borrower shall:
     (a) Maintain its assets, accounts, books, records, financial statements, stationery, invoices, and checks separate from and not commingled with any of those of any other person or entity;
     (b) Conduct its own business in its own name, pay its own liabilities out of its own funds, allocate fairly and reasonably any overhead for shared employees and office space, and maintain an arm’s length relationship with its Affiliates;

Borrower covenants and agrees that all Loan Advances to be made hereunder by Lenders shall be used solely for the payment (or reimbursement to others for payment) of the bills for the labor and materials used in the performance of the Work for which such Loan Advances were requested by Borrower, and for the payment of the other items of Project Cost for which such Loan Advances were requested by Borrower (no Project Cost shall include expenses relating to any development, construction, operating or other cost attributable to any project other than the Project specifically described in this Agreement), and for no other purpose whatsoever; however, nothing herein shall impose upon Administrative Agent or any Lender any obligation whatsoever to see to the proper application of any such monies by Borrower. Whenever so requested by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall promptly furnish Administrative Agent written evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that all monies theretofore advanced by the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement have actually been or will be paid or applied in payment of the cost of performance of the Work and in payment of the other items of Project Cost for which such funds were advanced by the Lenders, and until such evidence is produced, at the option of Administrative Agent, no future or additional payments or Loan Advances need be made hereunder.

     (k) If Fort Collins Borrower shall be in default beyond any applicable notice and grace period under the Fort Collins Ground Lease, and/or upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, or upon the failure of Borrower to take any action under this section, then, subject to the terms of the Fort Collins Ground Lease, Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall have the right (but not the obligation), to cause any default or defaults under the Fort Collins Ground Lease to be remedied and otherwise exercise any and all rights of Fort Collins Borrower under the Fort Collins Ground Lease, as Administrative Agent may deem necessary to prevent or cure any default, and Administrative Agent shall have the right to enter all or any portion of the demised premises at such times and in such manner as Administrative Agent deems necessary, to prevent or to cure any such default. Without limiting the foregoing, upon any such default, Borrower shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Administrative Agent such instruments as may reasonably be required to permit Administrative Agent to cure any default under the Fort Collins Ground Lease or permit Administrative Agent to take such other action as Administrative Agent may deem necessary to enable Administrative Agent to cure or remedy the matter in default and preserve the security interest of Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents with respect to the Fort Collins Project. Fort Collins Borrower irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to do, in its name or otherwise, if an Event of Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing, any and all acts and to execute any and all documents that Administrative Agent deems necessary to preserve any rights of Fort Collins Borrower under or with respect to the Fort Collins Ground Lease, including, without limitation, the right to effectuate any extension or renewal of the Fort Collins Ground Lease, or to preserve any rights of Fort Collins Borrower whatsoever in respect of any part of the Fort Collins Ground Lease (and the above powers granted to Administrative Agent are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable). The actions or payments of Administrative Agent to cure any default by Fort Collins Borrower under the Fort Collins Ground Lease shall not remove or waive, as between Borrower and the Lenders, the default that occurred under this Agreement by virtue of the default by Fort Collins Borrower under the Fort Collins Ground Lease. All sums expended by Administrative Agent to cure any such default shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent, upon demand, with interest on such sum at the Default Rate from the date such sum is expended to and including the date the reimbursement payment is made to Administrative Agent. All such indebtedness shall be deemed to be secured by the Loan Documents.
     (l) Promptly upon receipt by Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to the Fort Collins Ground Lessor, if requested by Administrative Agent or any successor, written notice of the identity of each successor to Administrative Agent.
     (m) Borrower, promptly upon learning that the Fort Collins Ground Lessor has failed to perform the terms and provisions under the Fort Collins Ground Lease and promptly upon learning of a rejection or disaffirmance or purported rejection or disaffirmance of the Fort Collins Ground Lease pursuant to any state or federal bankruptcy law, shall notify Administrative Agent thereof. Promptly after execution of any amendment to the Fort Collins Deed of Trust, Borrower shall notify the Fort Collins Ground Lessor, in a form satisfactory to Administrative Agent of the execution

81


 

and delivery of the Fort Collins Deed of Trust or such amendment. Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to give the Fort Collins Ground Lessor, at any time any notice described in this subsection or otherwise relating to the Loan.
     (n) Fort Collins Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of any request that any party to the Fort Collins Ground Lease makes for arbitration or other dispute resolution procedure pursuant to the Fort Collins Ground Lease and of the institution of any such arbitration or dispute resolution. Fort Collins Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to participate in any such arbitration or dispute resolution but such participation shall not, unless an Event of Default exists, be to the exclusion of Fort Collins Borrower. Fort Collins Borrower shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of the determination of each such arbitration or dispute resolution mechanism.
     (o) If Administrative Agent or its designee shall acquire or obtain a new ground lease following a termination of the Fort Collins Ground Lease as a result of any action, omission or election of Fort Collins Borrower, then Fort Collins Borrower shall have no right, title or interest whatsoever in or to such new ground lease, or any proceeds or income arising from the estate arising under any such new ground lease, including from any sale or other disposition thereof. Administrative Agent or its designee shall hold such new ground lease free and clear of any right or claim of Fort Collins Borrower.
     7.38 Consent and Subordination to Condominium and Declaration. Administrative Agent shall, upon Borrower’s written request, consent and subordinate the lien of the Ames Mortgage to the Ames Condominium Declaration and shall execute the appropriate instruments (satisfactory to Administrative Agent in all respects) in recordable form to effect such consent and subordination thereto, upon the satisfaction of the following conditions, as determined by Administrative Agent (singly and collectively, the “Condominium Conditions”):
     (a) There exists no Unmatured Default or Event of Default;
     (b) Administrative Agent shall have received the final Ames Condominium Declaration, which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and in proper form for recording or filing, as necessary, in the appropriate registry of deeds. Borrower shall after recording, deliver to Administrative Agent a certified copy of the Ames Condominium Declaration;
     (c) Administrative Agent shall have received the unconditional agreement by the Title Company to issue an ALTA 4.1 Endorsement to the applicable Title Policy insuring the Ames Mortgage upon subordination of the lien of the Ames Mortgage to the Ames Condominium Declaration; and
     (d) Administrative Agent shall have received such other documents, certificates, opinions or assurances as Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

82

SECTION 10.
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes 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 a Post-Foreclosure Plan as are specifically delegated to 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 Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and to exercise the remedies as herein provided. 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 or the Loan 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. Nothing herein (including the use of the term “Administrative Agent”) shall be construed to deem Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender nor to impose on Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. At the request of a Lender, Administrative Agent will forward to such Lender copies or, where appropriate, originals of the documents delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent will also furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy of any certificate or notice furnished to Administrative Agent by Borrower or any other Affiliate of 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. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans) or in a Post-Foreclosure Plan, 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 Loans; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in a Post-Foreclosure Plan to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, Applicable Law or a Post-Foreclosure Plan. Borrower may rely on written amendments or waivers executed by Administrative Agent or acts taken by Administrative Agent as being authorized by the Lenders or the Requisite Lenders, as applicable, to the extent Administrative Agent does not advise Borrower that it has not obtained such authorization from the Lenders or the Requisite Lenders, as applicable. The Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the Issuing Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to Administrative Agent in this Article with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Lender in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to the Issuing Lender.

     10.2 Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until Administrative Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for Borrower), 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; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statements, warranties or representations made by any Person in or in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or a Post-Foreclosure Plan; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or a Post-Foreclosure Plan or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or a Post-Foreclosure Plan on the part of Borrower or other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of Borrower or any other Person; (e) shall not 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 Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such collateral; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or a Post-Foreclosure Plan by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone or telecopy) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties.
     10.3 Notice of Defaults. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of an Unmatured Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Unmatured Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Unmatured Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to Administrative Agent such a “notice of default.” Further, if Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default”, Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default as may be requested by the Lenders in accordance with this Section 10.3; provided that unless and until Administrative Agent has received any such request, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.
     10.4 Administrative Agent as Lender. Administrative Agent, as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement, any other Loan Document and a Post-

92


 

Foreclosure Plan as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Administrative Agent in each case in its individual capacity. 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, Borrower or any other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders. Further, Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders.
     10.5 Approvals of Lenders. All communications from 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 Administrative Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the Loan Documents or a Post-Foreclosure Plan) of receipt of such communication. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except with respect to items requiring the unanimous consent or approval of the Lenders pursuant to Section 10.12, unless a Lender shall give written notice to Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of Administrative Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within the applicable time period for reply, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination.
     10.6 Lender Credit Decision, Etc. Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates has made any representations or warranties as to the financial condition, operations, creditworthiness, solvency or other information concerning the business or affairs of Borrower or any other Person or any Property to such Lender and that no act by Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to Administrative Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on the financial statements of Borrower or any other Affiliate thereof, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of Borrower and other Persons and the Property, its review of the Loan Documents, a Post-Foreclosure Plan (if and when prepared) 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 transaction contemplated hereby. Each Lender also

93


 

acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to 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 and a Post-Foreclosure Plan. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or a Post-Foreclosure Plan, 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 Borrower or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates. Each Lender acknowledges that Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or a Post-Foreclosure Plan is only acting as counsel to Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender.
     10.7 Indemnification of Administrative Agent by Lenders. Each Lender agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Commitment Percentage, 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 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, a Post-Foreclosure Plan, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or if Administrative Agent fails to follow the written direction of the Requisite Lenders, unless such failure is pursuant to the reasonable advice of counsel of which the Lenders have received notice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the preceding provision, each Lender agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees of the counsel(s) of Administrative Agent’s own choosing) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration or enforcement of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, a Post-Foreclosure Plan, any suit or action brought by Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Loans, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by Administrative Agent that Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section 10.7 shall not limit the terms of Section 3.7 and shall survive the payment of the Loans and all

94


 

other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If Borrower shall reimburse Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section 10.7, Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.
     10.8 Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower, and any such resignation by Administrative Agent shall also constitute its resignation as the Issuing Lender. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower, shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a commercial bank having total combined assets of at least Five Billion Dollars ($5,000,000,000). 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 resigning Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the resigning 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 a commercial bank having total combined assets of at least Five Billion Dollars ($5,000,000,000). 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 retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents as Administrative Agent and the retiring Issuing Lender’s rights, powers and duties as such shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring Issuing Lender or any other Lender, other than the obligation of the successor Issuing Lender to issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is forty-five (45) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10.8 and all provisions of this Agreement relating to Loans 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. Upon any change in Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the resigning Administrative Agent shall execute such assignments of and amendments to the Loan Documents as may be necessary to substitute the successor Administrative Agent for the resigning Administrative Agent.
     10.9 Other Loans by Lenders to Borrower. The Lenders agree that one or more of them may now or hereafter have other loans to Borrower or one or more Affiliates of Borrower which are not subject to this Agreement. The Lenders agree that the Lender(s) which may have such other loan(s) to Borrower and such Affiliates may collect payments on such loan(s) and may secure such loan(s) (so long as such loan does not itself expressly violate this Agreement).

95


 

Further, the Lenders agree that the Lender(s) which may have such other loan(s) to Borrower and such Affiliates shall have no obligation to attempt to collect payments under the Loans in preference and priority over the collection and/or enforcement of such other loan(s).
     10.10 Request for Administrative Agent Action. Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that in the ordinary course of business of Borrower, (a) a Property may be subject to a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding (a “Taking”), (b) Borrower may desire to enter into easements or other agreements affecting a Real Property, or (c) Borrower may desire to take other actions or enter into other agreements in the ordinary course of business which similarly require the consent, approval or agreement of Administrative Agent. In connection with the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize Administrative Agent to (x) execute, releases of liens in connection with any Taking or after repayment of the Loans, (y) execute consents or subordinations in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent in connection with any easements or agreements affecting a Real Property, or (z) execute consents, approvals, or other agreements in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent in connection with such other actions or agreements as may be necessary in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business.
     10.11 Assignments/Participations.
     (a) Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Loans at, to or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender except to the extent such transfer would result in increased costs to Borrower.
     (b) Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or the Obligations owing to such Lender; provided, however, (i) any such participating interest must be for a constant and not a varying percentage interest, (ii) no Lender may grant a participating interest in its Commitment, or if any of the Commitments have been terminated, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Notes held by it, in an amount less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) or integral multiples of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in excess thereof, and (iii) after giving effect to any such participation by a Lender, the amount of its Commitment, or if any of the Commitments have been terminated, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Notes held by it, in which it has not granted any participating interests must be equal to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) and integral multiples of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in excess thereof. No Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the event of any such grant by Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Borrower and 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 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

96


 

Participant, agree to (i) except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, increase or extend the term or extend the time or waive any requirement for the reduction of termination of, such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, or (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by Section 10.11(c) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this Section 10.11(b). The selling Lender shall notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of the sale of any participation hereunder and, if requested by Administrative Agent, certify to Administrative Agent that such participation is permitted hereunder.
     (c) Any Lender may with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its Commitment and its other rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes; provided, however, (i) any partial assignment of a Commitment shall be in an amount at least equal to Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00) and integral multiples of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in excess thereof and after giving effect to such partial assignment the assigning Lender retains a portion of the Commitment so assigned, or if any of the Commitments have been terminated, holds Notes having an aggregate outstanding principal balance, of at least Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00) and integral multiples of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in excess thereof (provided, however, the conditions set forth in this Section 10.11(c) (i) shall not apply to any full assignment by any Lender of its Commitment); and (ii) each such assignment shall be effected by means of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. 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 as of the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance 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 Section 10.11(c), the transferor Lender, Administrative Agent and Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that 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 Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500.00).
     (d) Administrative Agent shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). Administrative Agent shall give each Lender and Borrower notice of the assignment by any Lender of its rights as contemplated by this Section 10.11. Borrower, Administrative Agent and the

97


 

Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register and copies of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to Administrative Agent. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by an assigning Lender, together with each Note subject to such assignment, Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement has been completed and if Administrative Agent receives the processing and recording fee described in Section 10.11(c) above, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to Borrower.
     (e) In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.11, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, and such Loans and Notes shall be fully transferable as provided therein. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.
     (f) A Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Assignees and Participants (including prospective Assignees and Participants) subject to compliance with Section 11.7.
     (g) Anything in this Section 10.11 to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates.
     (h) Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of Borrower and Administrative Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.
     (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time The PrivateBank and Trust Company assigns all of its Commitment and interest in the Loan pursuant to this Section 10.11, The PrivateBank and Trust Company may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Borrower and the Lenders, resign as the Issuing Lender. In the event of any such resignation as the Issuing Lender, Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of The PrivateBank and Trust Company as the Issuing Lender. If The PrivateBank and Trust Company resigns as the Issuing Lender, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as the Issuing Lender and all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the

98


 

Lenders to make an advance of a Base Rate Loan or fund risk participations for Letter of Credit Borrowings pursuant to Section 3 of Exhibit G).
     10.12 Approval by Lenders.
     (a) Upon the termination or reduction to zero (0) of all of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of all of the obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, Lenders hereby expressly authorize Administrative Agent to release any liens arising under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the above, subject to Section 7 of Exhibit G, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, and to the extent of any remainder, otherwise remitted to Borrower.
     (b) Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that, in the ordinary course of Borrower’s construction, ownership, maintenance and operation of a Property, Borrower may request Administrative Agent’s consent or approval to enter into customary easements and other customary agreements or to take other actions in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business operations. Provided such Borrower requests are in each instance consistent and compatible with such Project, and subject in each instance to the restrictions and limitations set forth in this Section 10.12 (or any other provision of the Loan Documents which expressly requires the consent of the Requisite Lenders or the Lenders), Lenders hereby expressly authorize Administrative Agent to consent to and approve (or to condition consent or approval or to deny) such requests in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
     (c) Unless the consent of all of the Lenders is required pursuant to Section 10.12(d) (or any other provision of the Loan Documents which expressly requires the consent of all of the Lenders), Requisite Lenders shall have the right to amend the terms of the Loan Documents, and to consent to and approve Borrower requests that Lenders have not otherwise expressly authorized Administrative Agent to consent to and approve, in each instance by a writing signed by the Requisite Lenders or Administrative Agent at the written direction of or with the consent of all of the Requisite Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Issuing Lender in addition to the Requisite Lenders required above affect the rights or duties of the Issuing Lender under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it.
     (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents, no amendment, waiver, consent or approval shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders or Administrative Agent at the written direction of all of the Lenders, do any of the following: (i) extend or increase the Commitments (or any component thereof) of the Lenders or subject the Lenders to any additional obligations; (ii) reduce or forgive the amount of any fees, costs or expenses payable under any Loan

99


 

Document; (iii) postpone any date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loans or any other Obligations; (iv) modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders;” (v) release or limit any Guarantor from its obligation under the Guaranty; (vi) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or the rate of interest thereon; (vii) modify any prorata sharing of payments to be received by any Lender hereunder; (viii) extend the Maturity Date (other than in accordance with Section 3.5); (ix) modify this Section 10.12; or (x) except as provided in the first sentence of Section 10.12(a) or as otherwise provided in Section 3.10, release any Collateral; provided however, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Issuing Lender in addition to the Lenders required above affect the rights or duties of the Issuing Lender in such capacity under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it.
     (e) Further, no amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of Administrative Agent in such capacity under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
     (f) No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver, consent or approval 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 Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a wavier thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon Borrower shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
     (g) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver, approval or termination requiring the consent of all Lenders, the consent of the Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, Administrative Agent and/or a Person or Persons reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower, shall have the right to purchase (such purchaser, a “Purchasing Party”) from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Purchasing Party, all of the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lenders for an amount equal to the principal balance of all such Loans held by such Non-Consenting Lenders and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other amounts then due with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. If there is more than one Purchasing Party resulting in greater funds than are necessary, the amount funded by each such Purchasing Party shall be reduced if necessary, so that each Purchasing Party’s amount funded is in proportion to the Commitments of all of the Purchasing Lenders exercising its right to purchase the Non-Consenting Lenders’ Loan (calculated without regard to

100


 

the Commitment of the Non-Consenting Lender and any other Lender who has not elected to fund).
     10.13 Post Foreclosure Plans.
     (a) If all or any portion of the Collateral is acquired by 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 under the Loan Documents, the title to any such Collateral, or any portion thereof, shall be held in the name of Administrative Agent or a nominee or Affiliate of Administrative Agent, as agent, for the ratable benefit of all Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentage. Administrative Agent and all Lenders hereby expressly waive and relinquish any right of partition with respect to any Collateral so acquired. After any Collateral is acquired, Administrative Agent may appoint and retain one or more Persons experienced in the management, leasing, sale and/or dispositions of similar properties. After consulting with the Person(s), if any, 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, 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 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.
     (b) Upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender will within five (5) Business Days after request, contribute its share (based on its Commitment Percentage) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by 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, 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 Commitment Percentage of any operating loss for such Collateral, and such other expenses and operating reserves as 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, Administrative Agent shall, in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to Lenders. All such distributions shall be made to Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentage.
     (c) Lenders acknowledge and agree that if title to any Collateral is obtained by Administrative Agent or its nominee, such Collateral will not be held as a permanent investment but will be liquidated as soon as practicable. Administrative Agent shall

101


 

undertake to sell such Collateral, at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders reasonably shall determine to be most advantageous to 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 Administrative Agent, as agent for the Lenders, as the beneficiary or mortgagee. In such case, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall enter into an agreement with respect to such purchase money mortgage or deed of trust defining the rights of Lenders in the same Commitment Percentage as provided hereunder, which agreement shall be in all material respects similar to this Article insofar as the same is appropriate or applicable.
     10.14 Co-Agents; Lead Managers. None of the Lenders or other persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent,” “book manager,” or “lead manager,” “arranger,” “lead arranger” or “co-arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of Lenders or other persons so identified as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent” or “lead manager” shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of Lenders or other persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.
SECTION 11.
MISCELLANEOUS
     11.1 Additional Indebtedness. If any advances or payments made by Lenders pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with disbursements of the Loans, shall exceed the aggregate face amount of the Notes, all such advances and payments shall constitute additional indebtedness secured by each Mortgage and all other security for the Loans, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date advanced until paid. Additionally, if an Event of Default shall occur, Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, take any and all actions to cure such default, and all amounts expended in so doing, all Loan Expenses and all other amounts paid or advanced by Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents, and all other amounts advanced by Administrative Agent in connection with the performance of the Work or preserving any security for the Loans, shall constitute additional advances of the Loans, shall be secured by each Mortgage and all other security for the Loans, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date advanced until paid.
     11.2 Additional Acts. Borrower shall, upon request, execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and do such further acts and things as may be reasonably required to provide to Administrative Agent the evidence of and security for the Loan contemplated by this Agreement.
     11.3 Loan Agreement Governs. In the event of any inconsistency between any provision of this Agreement and any provision of any other Loan Document, the provision of this Agreement shall govern; provided, however, that the provisions of all of the Loan Documents

102


 

shall be construed as an integrated set of provisions governing the Loan and, accordingly, shall be interpreted and construed liberally to give the maximum validity, enforceability and effect to all of such provisions.
     11.4 Additional Advances. This Agreement shall not be amended, modified or supplemented without the written agreement of Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders at the time of such amendment, modification or supplement. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be effective unless set forth in writing signed by the party making such waiver, and any such waiver shall be effective only to the extent therein set forth. Failure by Administrative Agent to insist upon full and prompt performance of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or to take action in the event of any breach of any such provision or upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, shall not constitute a waiver of any rights of Administrative Agent and/or Lenders, and Administrative Agent and/or Lenders may at any time thereafter exercise all available rights and remedies with respect to such breach or Event of Default. Receipt by Administrative Agent of any instrument or document shall not constitute or be deemed to be an approval thereof. Any approvals required under any of the other Loan Documents must be in writing, signed by Administrative Agent and directed to Borrower.
     11.5 Notice. All notices or other written communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been properly given (a) upon delivery, if delivered in person, (b) one (1) Business Day after having been deposited for overnight delivery with any reputable overnight courier service, (c) three (3) Business Days after having been deposited in any post office or mail depository regularly maintained by the U.S. Postal Service and sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested; or (d) upon receipt, if delivered by facsimile (so long as such notice is also simultaneously sent by one of the other methods described herein), addressed to the addresses set forth below in this Section 11.5 or as such party may from time to time designate by written notice to the other parties. Either party by notice to the other in the manner provided herein may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications:

Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, Administrative Agent and each Lender shall utilize all non-public information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement which has been identified as confidential or proprietary by Borrower in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature to prevent improper disclosure (including disclosure to competitors of Borrower) and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to any of their respective Affiliates (provided they shall be notified of the obligation to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.7); (b) as reasonably requested by any bona fide Assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Commitment or participations therein as permitted hereunder (provided they shall be notified of the obligation to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.7); (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings; (d) to Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the obligation to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.7); (e) after the happening and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to any other Person, in connection with the exercise by Administrative Agent or the Lenders of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; and (f) to the extent such information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.7 or (ii) becomes available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Borrower, any other Obligor, or any of their respective subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates.
     11.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois.
     11.9 Indemnity by Borrower. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower agrees to defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent), protect, indemnify and hold harmless Lenders and Administrative Agent, any parent corporation, affiliated corporation or subsidiary of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs and expenses of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, the disbursements and the reasonable fees of counsel for each Indemnified Party thereto, which shall also include, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys who may be employees of Lenders or any parent or affiliated corporation of Lenders), which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Party (whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local laws or regulations, including, without limitation, securities, environmental laws and commercial laws and regulations, under common law or in equity, or based on contract or otherwise) in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the Loan Documents, the making or issuance and management of the Loans, any Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection

105


 

with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans and the enforcement of Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Notes, the Loan Documents, any other instruments and documents delivered hereunder or thereunder; provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party with respect to matters caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall satisfy such undertaking to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law. Any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, cost or expense covered by this indemnity shall be paid to such Indemnified Party within five (5) days of written demand, and failing prompt payment, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by such Indemnified Party until paid by Borrower, shall be added to the obligations of Borrower evidenced by the Notes and secured by the collateral securing the Loans. This indemnity is not intended to excuse Administrative Agent and the Lenders from performing hereunder. The provisions of this Section 11.9 shall survive the closing of the Loans, the satisfaction and payment of the Notes and any cancellation of this Loan Agreement. Borrower shall also pay, and hold Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from, any and all claims of any brokers, finders or agents claiming a right to any fees in connection with arranging the Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify (i) Administrative Agent with respect to Administrative Agent’s failure to disclose information (as required herein) to the Lenders in connection with any syndication of the Loan or (ii) any Lender with respect to another Lender’s failure to comply with its duties and obligations set forth in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.9, so long as no Unmatured Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains outstanding, the Borrower’s obligations contained in this Section 11.9 relating to costs and expenses only shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred on behalf of the Administrative Agent.
     11.10 Administrative Agent’s Representatives. Administrative Agent, at Borrower’s expense, shall have the right to engage personnel in connection with the negotiation, documentation, administration and servicing of the Loans, including without limitation, the Consultant, to (i) review and approve the Plans and Specifications, (ii) review and approve Borrower’s Budget, (iii) conduct monthly inspections of the Work and report on the progress of construction thereof, (iv) review and approve all change orders, (v) review and approve applications for disbursements and accompanying documents, (vi) issue reports and certificates to Administrative Agent, (vii) inspect the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and roof systems constituting the Work, (viii) determine whether the Work has been completed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, and (ix) provide other services as requested by Lender, and Borrower shall fully cooperate with the Consultant and other personnel in all reasonable respects in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, all inspections of the Work made by Administrative Agent, the Consultant or their respective agents, employees and designees shall be solely for Administrative Agent’s own information and shall not be deemed to have been made for or on account of Borrower or any other party. Borrower hereby specifically relieves Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders of any and all liability or responsibility relating in any way whatsoever to the construction of the Project, including but not limited to, the Work, the material or labor supplied in connection therewith, and any errors, inconsistencies or other defects in the Project or the Plans and Specifications.

106


 

     11.11 Headings. The titles and headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted as a matter of convenience of reference only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement.
     11.12 No Partnership or Joint Venture. Lenders and Administrative Agent, by executing and performing this Agreement shall not become a partner or joint venturer with Borrower or any of its associates or Affiliates and all inspections of the Property herein provided for are for the sole benefit of Lenders and Administrative Agent.
     11.13 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the payment of all amounts due Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents and performance and observance by Borrower of each covenant, agreement, provision and term of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
     11.14 Invalid Provisions. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed to be invalid by reason of the operation of law, or by reason of the interpretation placed thereon by any administrative agency or any court, Borrower and Administrative Agent shall negotiate an equitable adjustment in the provisions of the same in order to effect, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the purpose of this Agreement and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, or portions or applications thereof, shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect.
     11.15 Acts by Lenders. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Lenders will not be required to make any disbursement or perform any other act under this Agreement if, as a result thereof, Lenders will violate any law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or judicial decision applicable thereto.
     11.16 Offset. Without limiting any of the other rights or remedies of Administrative Agent hereunder or provided by law, any indebtedness relating to the Property or its operation and now or hereafter owing to Borrower by Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, any amounts on deposit in any demand, time, savings, passbook or like account maintained by Borrower with Administrative Agent) may be offset and applied by Administrative Agent hereunder, or under the Notes, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents.
     11.17 Binding Provisions. The covenants, warranties, agreements, obligations, liabilities and responsibilities of Borrower under this Agreement shall be binding upon and enforceable against Borrower and its legal representatives, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.
     11.18 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and all said counterparts when taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
     11.19 No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is only for the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns. No other Person or entity shall be entitled to rely on any matter set forth herein without the prior written consent of such parties.
     11.20 Publicity. Subject to compliance with Applicable Laws, Administrative Agent reserves the right to publicize the making of the Loan in any manner it deems appropriate. So

107


 

long as the Loans are outstanding, Borrower will identify the Lenders as Borrower’s lenders on any sign for the Project erected by Borrower.
     11.21 Rules of Construction. Borrower, Guarantors, Agent and the Lenders, and their respective legal counsel, have participated in the drafting of this Agreement, and accordingly the general rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities in a contract are to be resolved against the party drafting the contract shall not be employed in the construction and interpretation of this Agreement.
     11.22 JURISDICTION AND VENUE. BORROWER HEREBY AGREES THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS INITIATED BY BORROWER AND ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LITIGATED IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS, OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS OR, IF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT INITIATES SUCH ACTION, ANY COURT IN WHICH ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL INITIATE SUCH ACTION AND WHICH HAS JURISDICTION. BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN ANY OF SUCH COURTS. BORROWER WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT CHICAGO, ILLINOIS OR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM OR AN IMPROPER FORUM BASED ON LACK OF VENUE. SHOULD BORROWER, AFTER BEING SO SERVED, FAIL TO APPEAR OR ANSWER TO ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS SO SERVED WITHIN THE NUMBER OF DAYS PRESCRIBED BY LAW AFTER THE MAILING THEREOF, BORROWER SHALL BE DEEMED IN DEFAULT AND AN ORDER AND/OR JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AGAINST BORROWER AS DEMANDED OR PRAYED FOR IN SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS. THE EXCLUSIVE CHOICE OF FORUM FOR BORROWER SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 11.22 SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE ENFORCEMENT BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN ANY OTHER FORUM OR THE TAKING BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OF ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE THE SAME IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION, AND BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT, IF ANY, TO COLLATERALLY ATTACK ANY SUCH JUDGMENT OR ACTION.
     11.23 JURY WAIVER. BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS HEREBY VOLUNTARILY, KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) BETWEEN OR AMONG BORROWERS, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LENDERS TO PROVIDE THE LOAN DESCRIBED HEREIN AND IN THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
     11.24 Contribution and Subrogation. Each Borrower (a “Contributing Party”) agrees (subject to Section 11.25) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Borrower (the

108


 

Claiming Party”) under this Agreement, or assets of any Claiming Party shall be sold pursuant to any Loan Document to satisfy a claim of the Lenders, the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party to the extent that the payment made by the Claiming Party or the value of such assets exceeds the value received by the Claiming Party under this Agreement (such excess being referred to as the “Contribution Amount”). The obligations of the Contributing Parties shall be joint and several, provided that the obligations of any individual Contributing Party shall be limited to that amount which does not render such Contributing Party insolvent, and provided further that a Claiming Party may not recover from all Contributing Parties an amount in excess of the Contribution Amount. Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 11.24 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party to the extent of such payment and shall have a right of contribution from the other Contributing Parties calculated in the same manner as set forth herein and as if the payment made to the Claiming Party were made to the Lenders.

109


 

     11.25 Subordination. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Borrower under Section 11.24 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under Applicable Laws or otherwise, in each case to the extent arising out of or based upon the Loan Documents, shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Obligations. To that end, no payments shall be made by any Contributing Party to any Claiming Party until all Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. No failure on the part of any Borrower to make the payments required by Section 11.24 (or any other payments required under applicable Laws or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Borrower with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Borrower shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Borrower hereunder.
     11.26 Designation of Lead Borrower as Agent for Borrowers.
     (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Lead Borrower as that Borrower’s agent to obtain loans and advances under the Loans, the proceeds of which shall be available to each Borrower as set forth herein. As the disclosed principal for its agent, each Borrower shall be obligated to Administrative Agent and/or the Lender on account of loans and advances so made under the Loans as if made directly by the Administrative Agent and/or the Lender to that Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such loans and advances are recorded on the books and records of the Lead Borrower and/or of any Borrower (including, without limitation, on account of any such treatment of said loan or advance as an equity investment in a Borrower by Lead Borrower).
     (b) Each Borrower recognizes that credit available to it under the Loans is in excess of and on better terms than it otherwise could obtain on and for its own account and that one of the reasons therefor is its joining in the credit facility contemplated herein with each Borrower. Consequently, each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby assumes and agrees fully, faithfully, and punctually to discharge and satisfy all Obligations of all Borrowers.
     (c) The Lead Borrower shall act as a conduit for each Borrower on whose behalf the Lead Borrower has requested a loan or other advance under the Loans.
     (d) The proceeds of each loan and advance provided under the Loans which is requested by the Lead Borrower shall be advanced as and when otherwise provided herein or as otherwise indicated by the Lead Borrower. The Lead Borrower shall cause the transfer of the proceeds thereof to the Borrower(s) on whose behalf such loan and advance was obtained. The Lender shall not have any obligation to see to the application of such proceeds.
     (e) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as that Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to act in the Borrower’s name and stead and to do and perform all matters, to grant to the Lender a security interest in the Collateral, transact all business, and make, execute and acknowledge all Loan

110


 

Documents and other instruments relating to this Agreement including but not limited to, this Agreement, the Notes, and the Mortgage. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the power of attorney created hereby is coupled with an interest.
     11.27 Joint and Several Liability.
     (a) Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable to Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders for the payment of all obligations arising under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and that such liability is independent of the obligations of the other Borrowers. Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders may bring an action against any Borrower whether or not an action is brought against the other Borrowers.
     (b) Each Borrower agrees that any release which may be given by Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders to the other Borrowers will not release such Borrower from its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
     (c) Each Borrower waives any right to assert against Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders any defense, setoff, counterclaim or claim that such Borrower may have against the other Borrowers or any other party liable to Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders for the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
     (d) Each Borrower agrees that it is solely responsible for keeping itself informed as to the financial condition of the other Borrowers and of all circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment. Each Borrower waives any right it may have to require Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders to disclose to such Borrower any information that Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders may now or hereafter acquire concerning the financial condition of the other Borrowers.
     (e) Each Borrower waives all rights to notices of default or nonperformance by any other Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower further waives all rights to notices of the existence or the creation of new indebtedness by any other Borrower
     (f) Borrowers represent and warrant to Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders that each will derive benefit, directly and indirectly, from the collective administration and availability of the Loan under the Notes and the other Loan Documents. Borrowers agree that Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders will not be required to inquire as to the disposition by any Borrower of funds disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents.
     (g) Until all obligations of Borrowers to Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been paid in full, each Borrower waives any right of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution (contractual, statutory or otherwise), including any claim or right of subrogation under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any successor

111


 

statute, that such Borrower may now or hereafter have against any other Borrower with respect to the indebtedness incurred under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower waives any right to enforce any remedy which Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders now has or may hereafter have against any other Borrower, and waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders.
     (h) Each Borrower hereby waives any election of remedies by Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders that impairs any subrogation or other right of such Borrower to proceed against any other Borrower or other person, including any loss of rights resulting from any applicable anti-deficiency laws relating to nonjudicial foreclosures of real property or other laws limiting, qualifying or discharging obligations or remedies.

LETTERS OF CREDIT PROVISIONS
     Section 1 The Letter of Credit Commitment.
     (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) the Issuing Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 1(a) of Exhibit G from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date of this Agreement until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower, and to amend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2 of Exhibit G, and (B) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (ii) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of Borrower; provided that the Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to make any Letter of Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in, any Letter of Credit if as of the date of such Letter of Credit Extension, (x) the outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations and all Loan Advances would exceed the combined Commitments, or (y) the outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.
     (b) The Issuing Lender shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
     (i) any order, judgment or decree of any tribunal or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Applicable Laws applicable to the Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of Applicable Laws) from any tribunal with jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date of this Agreement, or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date of this Agreement and which the Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it;
     (ii) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date;
     (iii) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date;
     (iv) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Lender;

EXHIBIT G-1


 

     (v) such Letter of Credit is in an initial amount less than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00), or is to be used for a purpose other than for Project Costs or denominated in a currency other than Dollars; or
     (vi) default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under this Section 1 of Exhibit G exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Lender has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the other Lenders to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to such Defaulting Lender.
     (c) The Issuing Lender shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (i) the Issuing Lender would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (ii) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
     Section 2 Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit.
     (a) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of Borrower delivered to the Issuing Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., at least two (2) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Issuing Lender may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing Lender: (i) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the amount thereof; (iii) the expiry date thereof; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (vii) such other matters as the Issuing Lender may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing Lender (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the Issuing Lender may require.
     (b) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Lender will confirm with Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from Borrower and, if not, the Issuing Lender will provide Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the Issuing Lender of confirmation from Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of

EXHIBIT G-2


 

Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
     (c) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Evergreen Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Evergreen Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Lender to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Lender for any such renewal. Once an Evergreen Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Lender to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Issuing Lender shall not permit any such renewal if (i) the Issuing Lender would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof, or (ii) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Nonrenewal Notice Date (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in this Section 2 of Exhibit G is not then satisfied.
     (d) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender will also deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
     Section 3 Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
     (a) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify Borrower and Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m., on the date of any payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender through Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If Borrower fails to so reimburse the Issuing Lender by such time, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof. In such event, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an advance of Base Rate Loan to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the combined Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5 of the Agreement (other than the delivery of a Disbursement Request). Any notice given by the Issuing Lender or Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

EXHIBIT G-3


 

     (b) Each Lender (including the Lender acting as the Issuing Lender) shall upon any notice pursuant to the subsection above make funds available to Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender at the Principal Office in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m., on the Business Day specified in such notice by Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of the subsection below, each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an advance of a Base Rate Loan to Borrower in such amount. Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Issuing Lender.
     (c) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by an advance of a Base Rate Loan because the conditions set forth in Section 5 of the Agreement cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Lender a Letter of Credit Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to the subsection above shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 3 of Exhibit G.
     (d) Until each Lender funds its Loan Advance or participation in a Letter of Credit Borrowing pursuant to this Section 3 of Exhibit G to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the Issuing Lender.
     (e) Each Lender’s obligation to make a Loan Advance or participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing to reimburse the Issuing Lender for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 3 of Exhibit G, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Issuing Lender, Borrower or any other person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or an Unmatured Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make a Loan Advance pursuant to this Section 3 of Exhibit G is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 of the Agreement being satisfactory to Administrative Agent. No such reimbursement shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
     (f) If any Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 3(b) of Exhibit G by the time specified in Section 3(b) of Exhibit G, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the

EXHIBIT G-4


 

Issuing Lender submitted to any Lender (through Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3(f) of Exhibit G shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
     Section 4 Repayment of Participations.
     (a) At any time after the Issuing Lender has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s participation in a Letter of Credit Borrowing in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 3 of Exhibit G, if Administrative Agent receives for the account of the Issuing Lender any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by Administrative Agent), Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Commitment Percentage (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time Lender’s participation payment was outstanding) thereof in the same funds as those received by Administrative Agent.
     (b) If any payment received by Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3(a) of Exhibit G is required to be returned (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Issuing Lender in its discretion) each Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
     Section 5 Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each Letter of Credit Borrowing, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following:
     (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
     (b) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Lender or any other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
     (c) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
     (d) any payment by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of

EXHIBIT G-5


 

creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit; or
     (e) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower.
     Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will immediately notify the Issuing Lender. Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Issuing Lender and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
     Section 6 Role of the Issuing Lender. Each Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Issuing Lender nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for (a) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (b) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; or (c) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at Law or under any other agreement. None of the Issuing Lender nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Lender, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 1-Section 5 of Exhibit G; provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower may have a claim against the Issuing Lender, and the Issuing Lender may be liable to Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by Borrower which Borrower proves were caused by the Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or the Issuing Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
     Section 7 Cash Collateral. Upon the request of Administrative Agent, (a) if the Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and

EXHIBIT G-6


 

such drawing has resulted in an Letter of Credit Borrowing, or (b) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations (in an amount equal to such outstanding amount determined as of the date of such Letter of Credit Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be). For the purposes hereof “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Lenders, as collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term shall have corresponding meaning. Borrower hereby grants Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash and deposit account balances and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at The PrivateBank and Trust Company.
     Section 8 Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Lender and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (a) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (b) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance (including the ICC decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (euro)) shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.
     Section 9 Letter of Credit Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Commitment Percentage a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit equal to the greater of (a) One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) or (b) two percent (2.0%) per annum times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit), provided however, the maximum Letter of Credit fee for a specific Letter of Credit shall be Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00). Such fee for each Letter of Credit shall be due and payable on the date the Letter of Credit Application is delivered to the Issuing Lender and on the same date of each successive year thereafter until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. At any time that the Principal Balance is accruing interest at the Default Rate, the Letter of Credit fee shall equal seven percent (7.0%).
     Section 10 Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.
