ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. THE COMPANY
Acadia Realty Trust (the “Trust”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a fully-integrated, self-managed and self-administered equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused primarily on the ownership, acquisition, redevelopment and management of retail properties, including neighborhood and community shopping centers and mixed-use properties with retail components.
All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns a controlling interest. As of September 30, 2007, the Trust controlled 98% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Trust is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners represent entities or individuals who contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common or Preferred OP Units”). Limited partners holding Common OP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest of the Trust (“Common Shares”). This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT”.
During 2001, the Company formed a partnership, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund I, LP (“Fund I”), and in 2004 formed a limited liability company, Acadia Mervyn Investors I, LLC (“Mervyns I”), with four institutional investors. The Operating Partnership committed a total of $20.0 million to Fund I and Mervyns I, and the four institutional shareholders committed $70.0 million, for the purpose of acquiring a total of approximately $300.0 million in investments. As of September 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership has contributed $16.5 million to Fund I and $2.7 million to Mervyns I.
The Operating Partnership is the sole general partner of Fund I and sole managing member of Mervyns I, with a 22.2% interest in both Fund I and Mervyns I and is also entitled to a profit participation in excess of its invested capital based on certain investment return thresholds (“Promote”). Cash flow is distributed pro-rata to the partners and members (including the Operating Partnership) until they receive a 9% cumulative return (“Preferred Return”), and the return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow (which is net of distributions and fees to the Operating Partnership for management, asset management, leasing, construction and legal services) is distributed 80% to the partners (including the Operating Partnership) and 20% to the Operating Partnership as a Promote. As all contributed capital and accumulated preferred return has been distributed to investors, the Operating Partnership is now entitled to a Promote on all earnings and distributions.
During June of 2004, the Company formed Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”), and during August 2004 formed Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC (“Mervyns II”), with the investors from Fund I as well as two additional institutional investors. With $300.0 million of committed discretionary capital, Fund II and Mervyns II combined expect to be able to acquire or develop up to $900.0 million of investments on a leveraged basis. The Operating Partnership’s share of committed capital is $60.0 million. The Operating Partnership is the sole managing member with a 20% interest in both Fund II and Mervyns II. The terms and structure of Fund II and Mervyns II are substantially the same as Fund I and Mervyns I, including the Promote structure, with the exception that the Preferred Return is 8%. As of September 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership has contributed $28.8 million to Fund II and $7.6 million to Mervyns II.
Effective May 15, 2007, the Company formed Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC (“Fund III”) with thirteen institutional investors, including a majority of the investors from Fund I and Fund II. With $500.0 million of committed discretionary capital, Fund III expects to be able to acquire or develop approximately $1.5 billion of assets on a leveraged basis. The Operating Partnership’s share of the invested capital is $100.0 million and it is the sole managing member with a 20% interest in Fund III. The terms and structure of Fund III is substantially the same as the previous Funds, including the Promote structure, with the exception that the Preferred Return is 6%. As of September 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership has contributed $0.6 million to Fund III.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its controlling investments in partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company is presumed to have control in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-5. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Investments in entities for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the net earnings (or loss) of these entities are included in consolidated net income under the caption, Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates. The information furnished in the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements for the interim periods.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION, (continued)
Although the Company accounts for its investment in Albertson’s (Note 7), which it has made through the Retailer Controlled Property Venture (“RCP Venture”), using the equity method of accounting, the Company adopted the policy of not recording its equity in earnings or losses of the unconsolidated affiliate until the Company receives the audited financial statements of Albertson’s to support the equity earnings or losses in accordance with paragraph 19 of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 18 “Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
During June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of SFAS No. 109.” (“Interpretation No. 48”), Interpretation No. 48 defines a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Interpretation No. 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. Interpretation No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.
The Company adopted Interpretation No. 48 on January 1, 2007. Based on its evaluation, the Company had no uncertain tax positions and no unrecognized tax benefits as of the adoption date or as of September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, the tax years 2003 through and including 2006 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three years after filing of the respective returns. There are currently no federal or state tax examinations in progress.
During September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements.” This SFAS defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies to accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, except for share-based payment transactions under SFAS No. 123. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements or remeasurements of previously computed fair values, the Company does not believe adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on its financial statements.
On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This statement permits companies and not-for-profit organizations to make a one-time election to carry eligible types of financial assets and liabilities at fair value, even if fair value measurement is not required under GAAP. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 159.
On August 31, 2007, the FASB issued a proposed FASB Staff Position (the “Proposed FSP”) that affects the accounting for the Company’s convertible notes payable. The Proposed FSP requires the initial debt proceeds from the sale of the Company’s convertible notes to be allocated between a liability component and an equity component. The resulting debt discount must be amortized over the period the debt is expected to remain outstanding as additional interest expense. The Proposed FSP, if adopted, would be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 and would require retroactive application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this Proposed FSP would have on its financial statements if adopted.
3. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per share was determined by dividing the applicable net income to Common Shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during each period consistent with SFAS No. 128. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Shares were exercised or converted into Common Shares or resulted in the issuance of Common Shares that then shared in the earnings of the Company. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the periods indicated.

The weighted average shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share include unvested Restricted Shares and LTIP Units (Note 13) that are entitled to receive dividend equivalent payments. The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the above table, as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share. The effect of the assumed conversion of 25,067 and 55,595 Series A and B Preferred OP Units would be dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and are included in the above table. The effect of the assumed conversion of 337,097 Preferred OP Units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 is not reflected in the above table as such assumed conversion would be anti-dilutive.

6. ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF PROPERTIES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Acquisition of Properties

The redevelopment plans include the demolition of the existing improvements and the construction of a mixed-use project to be called CityPoint.
Discontinued Operations
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, which requires discontinued operations presentation for disposals of a “component” of an entity, for all periods presented, the Company reclassified its consolidated statements of income to reflect income and expenses for properties which were sold or became held for sale prior to September 30, 2007, as discontinued operations and reclassified its consolidated balance sheets to reflect assets and liabilities related to such properties as assets and liabilities related to discontinued operations.
The combined results of operations of properties held for sale are reported separately as discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. Included in discontinued operations are Amherst Marketplace and Sheffield Crossing, which the Company was marketing for sale as of September 30, 2007. Discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 also included Soundview Marketplace, Bradford Towne Centre, Greenridge Plaza, Luzerne Street Shopping Center and the Pittston Plaza, all of which the Company sold during the fourth quarter of 2006.

Investments In and Advances to Unconsolidated Partnerships
Retailer Controlled Property Venture (“RCP Venture”)
On January 27, 2004, the Company entered into the RCP Venture with Klaff Realty, L.P. (“Klaff”) and Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. (“Lubert-Adler”) for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. On September 2, 2004, Mervyns I and II, on a non-recourse basis through the RCP Venture, invested in a consortium to acquire the Mervyns Department store chain from Target Corporation. The gross acquisition price was $1.2 billion, which was financed with $800.0 million of debt and the balance with equity. Mervyns’ I and II combined $24.6 million share of this investment was divided equally between them. The Operating Partnership’s share of this investment totaled $5.2 million. Since inception, Mervyns I and II received distributions totaling $47.3 million. The Operating Partnership’s share of these distributions totaled $11.5 million.
During June of 2006, the RCP Venture made its second investment, acquiring Albertson’s and Cub Foods. Mervyns II invested $23.0 million in this acquisition on a non-recourse basis through the RCP Venture as part of an investment consortium. The Operating Partnership’s share of the invested capital was $4.6 million.
During 2006, Fund II, through the RCP Venture made additional investments in Shopko and Marsh, aggregating $1.8 million, of which the Operating Partnership’s share amounted to $0.4 million. The Company accounts for these investments using the cost method due to its immaterial ownership interest and the inability to exert influence over the entity’s operating and financial policies.
During the first quarter of 2007, Mervyns II received a cash distribution of $44.4 million from its Albertson’s investment which was sourced from the disposition of certain operating stores and a refinancing of the remaining assets held by Albertson’s. The Operating Partnership’s share of this distribution, after allocation to minority interests, was $8.9 million. The distribution in excess of invested capital was reflected as an extraordinary gain of $23.7 million to Mervyns II of which the Operating Partnership’s share, net of minority interests and income taxes, amounted to $2.9 million. This gain was characterized as extraordinary in the Company’s consolidated financial statements to be consistent with the expected treatment in the financial statements of Albertson’s.
In the third quarter of 2007, the Company received the 2006 audited financial statements from Albertson’s. In accordance with the accounting policy discussed in Note 1, Mervyns II’s equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates and extraordinary gain from Albertson’s has been adjusted in the third quarter to agree with the audited financial statements. The effect of the adjustment resulted in an increase to the extraordinary gain of $6.5 million and a corresponding decrease to equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. The Operating Partnership’s share of the adjustment, net of minority interests and income taxes, amounted to $0.8 million.

Fees earned by the Company in connection with this portfolio were $0.4 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $1.6 million and $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

12. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has two reportable segments: retail properties and multi-family properties. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies as discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Company evaluates property performance primarily based on net operating income before depreciation, amortization and certain nonrecurring items. The reportable segments are managed separately due to the differing nature of the leases and property operations associated with the retail versus residential tenants.

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On January 15, 2007 (the “Grant Date”), the Company issued 108,823 Restricted Common Shares (“Restricted Shares”) to officers and 20,735 Restricted Shares to employees of the Company. The Restricted Shares do not carry the rights of Common Shares, including voting rights, until vesting and may not be transferred, assigned or pledged until the recipients have a vested non-forfeitable right to such shares. The dividend will not be paid until the Restricted Shares have vested but there will be a catch-up payment upon vesting from the Grant Date to the applicable vesting date. All Restricted Shares are subject to the recipients’ continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting dates. Vesting with respect to 61,940 of the Restricted Shares issued to officers, is over four years with 25% vesting on each of the next four anniversaries of the Grant Date. In addition, vesting on 50% of the unvested Restricted Shares is also subject to certain total shareholder returns on the Company’s Common Shares. Vesting with respect to 46,883 of the Restricted Shares issued to officers is over three years with 30% vesting on the first anniversary and 35% vesting on the following two anniversaries of the Grant Date. Vesting with respect to the Restricted Shares issued to employees, is over four years with 25% vesting on each of the next four anniversaries of the Grant Date. In addition, vesting on 25% of the unvested Restricted Shares is also subject to certain total shareholder returns on the Company’s Common Shares.
On the Grant Date, the Company also issued 50,000 Restricted Shares to an officer in connection with his promotion to Executive Vice President. Vesting with respect to these Restricted Shares, is over five years with 20% vesting on each of the next five anniversaries of the Grant Date.
The total value of the above Restricted Share awards on the grant date was $4.5 million. Compensation expense of $0.3 million and $1.0 million has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements related to these Restricted Shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
On the Grant Date, the Company also issued 20,322 Restricted Partnership Units (“LTIP Units”) to officers and 1,214 LTIP Units to employees of the Company. LTIP Units are similar to Restricted Shares but provide for a quarterly partnership distribution in a like amount as paid to Common Partnership Units. This distribution is paid on both unvested and vested LTIP Units. The LTIP Units are convertible into Common Partnership Units and Common Shares upon vesting and a revaluation of the book capital accounts. Vesting with respect to the LTIP Units is over four years with 25% vesting on each of the next four anniversaries of the Grant Date. In addition, vesting on 50% of the officers unvested LTIP Units and 25% of the employees unvested LTIP Units are also subject to the achievement of certain total shareholder returns on the Company’s Common Shares.
The total value of these LTIP Units on the grant date was $0.5 million. Compensation expense of $34,000 and $101,000 has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements related to these LTIP Units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
On May 15, 2007, the Company issued 15,927 unrestricted Common Shares to Trustees of the Company in connection with Trustee fees. In addition, on August 23, 2007, the Company issued an additional 1,918 unrestricted common shares to a newly elected Trustee. Trustee fee expense of $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements related to these unrestricted Common Shares.
14. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE
On August 14, 2007, the Board of Trustees of the Company approved and declared a cash dividend for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 of $0.20 per Common Share and Common OP Unit. The dividend was paid on October 15, 2007 to shareholders of record as of September 28, 2007.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion is based on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2007 and 2006 and for the three and nine months then ended. This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors are set forth under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and include, among others, the following: general economic and business conditions, which will, among other things, affect demand for rental space, the availability and creditworthiness of prospective tenants, lease rents and the availability of financing; adverse changes in our real estate markets, including, among other things, competition with other companies; risks of real estate development and acquisition; governmental actions and initiatives; and environmental/safety requirements.
OVERVIEW
We currently operate 77 properties, which we own or have an ownership interest in, within our core portfolio or within our Funds I and II. These properties consist of 75 commercial properties, primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers, mixed-use centers and two multi-family properties, which are located primarily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern regions of the United States. Our core portfolio consists of 34 properties comprising approximately five million square feet. Fund I has 32 properties comprising approximately two million square feet. Fund II has nine properties, the majority of which are undergoing redevelopment and will have approximately two million square feet upon completion of redevelopment activities. The majority of our operating income derives from the rental revenues from these properties, including recoveries from tenants, offset by operating and overhead expenses. As our RCP Venture invests in operating companies, we consider these investments to be private-equity, as opposed to real estate investments. Since these are not traditional investments in operating rental real estate, the Operating Partnership invests in these through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”).
Our primary business objective is to acquire and manage commercial retail properties that will provide cash for distributions to shareholders while also creating the potential for capital appreciation to enhance investor returns. We focus on the following fundamentals to achieve this objective:
  -   Own and operate a portfolio of community and neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use properties, with a retail component, located in markets with strong demographics.
 
  -   Generate internal growth within the portfolio through aggressive redevelopment, re-anchoring and leasing activities.
 
  -   Generate external growth through an opportunistic yet disciplined acquisition program. The emphasis is on targeting transactions with high inherent opportunity for the creation of additional value through redevelopment and leasing and/or transactions requiring creative capital structuring to facilitate the transactions.
 
  -   Partner with private equity investors for the purpose of making investments in operating retailers with significant embedded value in their real estate assets.
 
  -   Maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet through conservative financial practices while ensuring access to sufficient capital to fund future growth.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used by us in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Valuation of Property Held for Use and Sale
On a quarterly basis, we review both properties held for use and for sale for indicators of impairment. We record impairment losses and reduce the carrying value of properties when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. In cases where we do not expect to recover our carrying costs on properties held for use, we reduce our carrying cost to fair value, and for properties held for sale, we reduce our carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. Management does not believe that the value of any properties in our portfolio was impaired as of September 30, 2007.

Bad Debts
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make payments on arrearages in billed rents, as well as the likelihood that tenants will not have the ability to make payment on unbilled rents including estimated expense recoveries and straight-line rent. As of September 30, 2007, we have recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $3.0 million. If the financial condition of our tenants were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2007 (“2007”) to the three months ended September 30, 2006 (“2006”)
                                 
                    Change  
(dollars in millions)   2007     2006     $     %

Total revenues
  $ 27.3     $ 25.2     $ 2.1       8 %
 
                       
The increase in minimum rents was primarily attributable to additional rents following our acquisition of 200 West 54th Street, 145 East Service Road and 2914 Third Avenue (“2006/2007 Acquisitions”) as well as Liberty Avenue being placed in service January 1, 2007. In addition, minimum rents increased as a result of re-tenanting activities across our portfolio.
Percentage rents decreased as a result of the temporary closing of an anchor tenant at Fordham Place during the construction period in 2007.
Common area maintenance (“CAM”) expense reimbursement increased $0.2 million primarily as a result of the 2006/2007 Acquisitions. Real estate tax reimbursements decreased $0.2 million primarily as a result of the temporary closing of an anchor tenant at Fordham Place during the construction period in 2007.
Management fee income decreased $0.2 million primarily as a result of lower fees earned in connection with the Klaff management contracts following the disposition of certain assets in 2006 and 2007.
The increase in interest income was attributable to higher balances in interest earning assets in 2007.

Total operating expenses
  $ 19.3     $ 18.5     $ 0.8       4 %
 
                       
The increase in property operating expenses was primarily the result of the 2006/2007 Acquisitions as well as Liberty Avenue being placed in service January 1, 2007.
The increase in real estate taxes was due to the 2006/2007 Acquisitions offset by $0.2 million related to the capitalization of construction period real estate taxes at a property that was operating in 2006.
The variance in general and administrative expense was attributable to increased compensation expense, including stock-based compensation, of $1.1 million related to additional personnel hired in late 2006 and 2007 as well as increases in existing employee compensation. In addition, there was an increase of $0.4 million for other overhead expenses following the expansion of our infrastructure related to increased activity in Fund assets and asset management services. These factors were offset by an increase in capitalized construction salaries due to higher redevelopment activities in 2007.
Depreciation expense increased $0.3 million in 2007. This was principally a result of increased depreciation expense following the 2006/2007 Acquisitions. Amortization expense increased $0.1 million, which was primarily the result of increased amortization of loan costs following our convertible note issuances in December 2006 and January 2007.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased as a result of our pro rata share of distributions in excess of basis from our Albertson’s investment of $4.2 million and our investment in Hitchcock Plaza of $2.6 million as well as an increase in our pro rata share of earnings from our Mervyns investment of $3.1 million. Partially offsetting these increases was the reclassification of $6.5 million from equity in earnings to extraordinary gain during the quarter to reconcile the character of the income based on audited financial statements of Albertson’s received during the quarter. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Interest expense increased $0.5 million in 2007. This was the result of a $1.3 million increase attributable to higher average outstanding borrowings in 2007 offset by a $0.8 million decrease resulting from a lower average interest rate on the portfolio mortgage debt in 2007.
The variance in minority interest is attributable to the minority partners’ share of the income reported from the equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.
The variance in income tax expense relates to our share of income and losses from Albertson’s and Mervyns.
Income from discontinued operations represents activity related to properties held for sale in 2007 and properties sold during 2006.
The extraordinary item in 2007 relates to the reclassification of income from the Albertson’s investment as discussed above.

The increase in minimum rents was attributable to those factors discussed in comparison of the three months ended 2007 to the three months ended 2006.
Percentage rents decreased as a result of the temporary closing of an anchor tenant at Fordham Place during the construction period in 2007.
CAM expense reimbursements decreased $0.2 million. During 2007, we completed our multi-year review of CAM billings and resolved the majority of all outstanding CAM billing issues with our tenants. As a result, 2007 was adversely impacted by charges related to the settlement and related accrual adjustments totaling $0.8 million. This was partially offset by higher CAM recovery resulting from increased snow removal costs in 2007. Real estate tax reimbursements decreased $1.0 million, primarily as a result of lower real estate tax expense in 2007.
Management fee income decreased $0.8 million primarily as a result of lower fees earned in connection with Klaff management contracts following the disposition of certain assets in 2006 and 2007.
The increase in interest income was attributable to interest income on notes and other advances receivable originated in the second half of 2006 as well as higher balances in interest earning assets in 2007.
The decrease in other income was primarily attributable to a $1.1 million reimbursement of certain fees by the institutional investors of Fund I for the Brandywine Portfolio in 2006.

The increase in property operating expenses was primarily the result of the 2006/2007 Acquisitions, Liberty Avenue being placed in service January 1, 2007 and higher snow removal costs in 2007.
The decrease in real estate taxes was due to tax refunds and adjustments of prior years estimated taxes of $0.7 million recorded in 2007 and $0.4 million related to the capitalization of construction period real estate taxes at a property that was operating in 2006. These decreases were partially offset by increased real estate tax expense following the 2006/2007 Acquisitions.
The variance in general and administrative expense was attributable to increased compensation expense, including stock based compensation, of $2.2 million for additional personnel hired in the second half of 2006 and 2007 as well as increases in existing employee salaries. In addition, there was an increase of $0.6 million for other overhead expenses following the expansion of our infrastructure related to increased activity in Fund assets and asset management services.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased as a result of our pro rata share of distributions in excess of basis from our Albertson’s investment of $5.8 million and our investment in Hitchcock Plaza of $2.4 million. These increases were offset by a decrease in our pro rata share of earnings from our Mervyns investment of $0.5 million and the reclassification of Albertson’s income of $6.5 million from equity in earnings to extraordinary gain during the quarter to reconcile the character of the income based on audited financial statements of Albertson’s received during the quarter.. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Interest expense increased $1.8 million in 2007. This was the result of a $3.8 million increase attributable to higher average outstanding borrowings in 2007 and an increase of $0.4 million related to defeasance costs associated with a loan payoff in 2007. These increases were offset by a $2.4 million decrease resulting from a lower average interest rate on the portfolio mortgage debt in 2007.
The variance in minority interest is attributable to the minority partners’ share of the income reported from the equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.
Income from discontinued operations represents activity related to properties held for sale in 2007 and properties sold during 2006.
The extraordinary gain in 2007 relates to our share of the extraordinary gain, net of income taxes and minority interest, from our Albertson’s investment.
Funds from Operations
Consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition, we define funds from operations (“FFO”) as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
In addition to presenting FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, we also disclose FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as adjusted to include the extraordinary gain from our RCP investment in Albertson’s. As discussed in Note 7 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q, this gain is a result of distributions we received in excess of our invested capital of which the Operating Partnership’s share, net of minority interests and income taxes, amounted to $3.7 million. This gain is characterized as extraordinary in our GAAP financial statements as a result of the nature of the income passed through from Albertson’s. As previously discussed under “Overview” in Item 2 in this Form 10-Q, we believe that income or gains derived

23


Table of Contents

from our RCP investments, including our investment in Albertson’s, are private-equity investments and, as such, should be treated as operating income and therefore FFO. The character of this income in our underlying accounting does not impact this conclusion. Accordingly, we believe that this supplemental adjustment to FFO more appropriately reflects the results of our operations.
We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance for an equity REIT due to its widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. FFO and FFO, as adjusted, are presented to assist investors in analyzing our performance. They are helpful as they exclude various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (or losses) from sales of property and depreciation and amortization. However, our method of calculating FFO and FFO, as adjusted, may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO and FFO, as adjusted, do not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and are not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. They should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating our performance or to cash flows as measures of liquidity.
The reconciliation of net income to FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 is as follows:

USES OF LIQUIDITY
Our principal uses of liquidity are expected to be for (i) distributions to our shareholders and OP unit holders, (ii) investments which include the funding of our joint venture commitments, property acquisitions and redevelopment/re-tenanting activities within our existing portfolio and (iii) debt service and loan repayments.
Distributions
In order to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, we must currently distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we paid dividends and distributions on our Common Shares and Common OP Units totaling $6.7 million and $20.0 million, respectively.

Fund II and Mervyns II
Reference is made to Note 1 and Note 7 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for an overview of Fund II and Mervyns II. To date, Fund II’s primary investment focus has been in the New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative and the Retailer Controlled Property Venture.
Retailer Controlled Property Venture (the “RCP Venture”)
During January of 2004, along with our investors in Funds I and II, we entered into the RCP Venture with Klaff Realty, L.P. (“Klaff”) and Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. (“Lubert-Adler”) for the purpose of making investments in retailers or the surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. The initial size of the RCP Venture is expected to be approximately $300 million in equity based on anticipated investments of approximately $1 billion, although this may increase based on future investment opportunities. Each participant in the RCP Venture has the right to opt out of any potential investment. Affiliates of Mervyns I and II and Fund II have invested $52.1 million in the RCP Venture through September 30, 2007. We anticipate investing the remaining portion of the original 20% of the equity of the RCP Venture through Fund II and Fund III and through acquisition funds that we may establish in the future. Cash flow is to be distributed to the RCP partners until they have received a 10% cumulative return and a full return of all contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is to be distributed 20% to Klaff and 80% to the partners (including Klaff). We will also earn market-rate fees for property management, leasing and construction services to the extent we provide such services on behalf of the RCP Venture.

New York Urban Infill Redevelopment Initiative
In September of 2004, we, through Fund II, launched our New York Urban Infill Redevelopment initiative. Fund II, together with an unaffiliated partner, P/A Associates, LLC (“P/A”), formed Acadia-P/A Holding Company, LLC (“Acadia-P/A”) for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, developing, owning, operating, leasing and managing certain retail real estate properties in the New York City metropolitan area. P/A has agreed to invest 10% of required capital up to a maximum of $2.0 million and Fund II, the managing member, has agreed to invest the balance to acquire assets in which Acadia-P/A agrees to invest.
During February of 2007, Acadia-P/A entered into an agreement for the purchase of the leasehold interest in The Gallery at Fulton Street and adjacent parking garage in downtown Brooklyn. The fee position in the property is owned by the City of New York and the agreement includes an option to purchase this fee position at a later date. Acadia P/A is partnering with MacFarlane Partners (“MacFarlane”) to co-develop the project. On June 13, 2007, Acadia P/A and MacFarlane acquired the leasehold interest for approximately $115.0 million.
Redevelopment plans for the property, renamed as CityPoint, include the demolition of the existing structure and the development of a 1.6 million square foot mixed-use complex. The proposed development calls for the construction of a combination of retail, office and residential components, all of which are currently allowed as of right. Acadia P/A, together with MacFarlane, will develop and operate the retail component, which is anticipated to total 475,000 square feet of retail space. Acadia P/A will also participate in the development of the office component with MacFarlane, which is expected to include at least 125,000 square feet of office space. MacFarlane plans to develop and operate up to 1,000 residential units with underground parking. Acadia P/A does not plan on participating in the development of, or have an ownership interest in, the residential component of the project.
Additionally, on May 31, 2007, Acadia, through Fund II and in partnership with its self-storage partner at several of the other New York urban projects, acquired a property on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, New York for $5.0 million. Redevelopment plans for the property call for the demolition of the existing structure and the construction of a modern climate controlled self-storage facility consisting of approximately 110,000 square feet.
On October 31, 2007, Acadia P/A acquired a 530,000 square foot warehouse building in Canarsie, Brooklyn for approximately $21.0 million. The development plan for this property includes the demolition of a portion of the warehouse and the construction of a 320,000 square foot mixed-use project consisting of retail, office, cold-storage and self-storage.

Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III, LLC (“Fund III”)
Reference is made to Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for an overview of Fund III. With $500.0 million of committed discretionary capital, Fund III expects to be able to acquire or develop approximately $1.5 billion of real estate assets on a leveraged basis. As of September 30, 2007, $3.0 million has been invested in Fund III, of which $0.6 million was contributed by the Operating Partnership.
On November 1, 2007, Acadia, through Fund III, and an unaffiliated partner acquired a property in Westport, Connecticut for approximately $17.0 million. Our plan is to redevelop the existing building into 30,000 square feet of retail, office and residential use.
On November 5, 2007, Fund III, through Acadia P/A, acquired a property in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn for approximately $20.0 million. Our redevelopment plan includes the demolition of the existing structures and the construction of a 240,000 square foot shopping center on the site.
Other Investments
Reference is made to Note 6 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of property acquisitions. As part of maintaining a strong core portfolio, we continue to focus on the opportunistic upgrading of our core properties by selling non-core or secondary assets and replacing them with assets located in higher-quality infill, supply-constrained markets. When practical, we complete these transactions in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code to accomplish these transactions in a tax efficient manner. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership furthered this goal with the completion of one acquisition in Manhattan and another in Staten Island, New York for a total of $53.4 million. The Staten Island acquisition enabled us to defer, for income tax purposes, a $14.5 million taxable gain from the fourth quarter 2006 sale of a non-core asset.
Property Development, Redevelopment and Expansion
Our redevelopment program focuses on selecting well-located neighborhood and community shopping centers within our core portfolio and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment. During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, we did not undertake any significant redevelopment projects within our core portfolio, nor do we currently anticipate commencing any additional redevelopment projects within the core portfolio during the balance of 2007.
Share Repurchase
We have an existing share repurchase program that authorizes management, at its discretion, to repurchase up to $20.0 million of our outstanding Common Shares. The program may be discontinued or extended at any time and there is no assurance that we will purchase the full amount authorized. The repurchase of our Common Shares was not a use of our liquidity during 2006. There were no Common Shares repurchased by us during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY
We intend on using Fund II and Fund III, as well as new funds that we may establish in the future, as the primary vehicles for our future acquisitions, including investments in the RCP Venture and New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment initiative. Additional sources of capital for funding property acquisitions, redevelopment, expansion and re-tenanting and RCP investments are expected to be obtained primarily from (i) the issuance of public equity or debt instruments, (ii) cash on hand, (iii) additional debt financings, (iv) unrelated member capital contributions and (v) future sales of existing properties. As of September 30, 2007, we had approximately $137.6 million of additional capacity under existing debt facilities and cash and cash equivalents on hand of $128.0 million. In addition, during the first quarter of 2007, we, through our RCP Venture, received a cash distribution on our ownership position in Albertson’s as discussed under Uses of Liquidity in this Form 10-Q, “RCP Venture”. We anticipate that cash flow from operating activities will continue to provide adequate capital for all of our debt service payments, recurring capital expenditures and REIT distribution requirements.
Financing and Debt
At September 30, 2007, mortgage and convertible notes payable aggregated $488.1 million and were collateralized by 52 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on our outstanding mortgage indebtedness and convertible notes payable ranged from 3.75% to 8.5% with maturities that ranged from November 2007 to November 2032. Taking into consideration $24.2 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $406.9 million of the portfolio, or 83%, was fixed at a 5.3% weighted average interest rate and $81.2 million, or 17% was floating at a 6.5% weighted average interest rate. There is $18.0 million and $70.7 million of debt scheduled to mature in 2007 and 2008, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 6.9% for 2007 and 6.18% for 2008. As we may not have sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness, we may have to refinance this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions at that time.
The following summarizes our financing and refinancing transactions since December 31, 2006:
During the first nine months of 2007, we drew down an additional $17.2 million on existing construction loans. During September 2007, we paid off $19.2 million of these loans. As of September 30, 2007, the outstanding balance on these construction loans was $9.8 million.
During the first quarter of 2007, we paid off a variable-rate loan balance of $21.5 million.
During January 2007, we obtained a new $26.0 million loan secured by a property. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.4% and matures on February 11, 2017. A portion of the proceeds was used to pay down the existing $15.7 million balance.
During March 2007, we closed on a $30.0 million revolving credit facility that bears interest at LIBOR plus 125 basis points and matures on March 29, 2010. As of September 30, 2007, this line of credit was fully available.
During 2007, we borrowed $19.0 million on an existing credit facility.
During July 2007, we closed on a new $26.3 million mortgage loan secured by a property. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.88% and matures on August 1, 2017. A portion of the proceeds were used to pay down an existing $12.5 million loan.
During September 2007, we extended a $19.0 million loan that bears fixed interest at 5.83% to a new maturity date of March 1, 2008 and also extended a $2.9 million loan that bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points to a new maturity date of October 5, 2008.
On September 12, 2007, we closed on a $25.5 million loan secured by a property that bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.8% and matures on October 1, 2017.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS
At September 30, 2007, maturities on our mortgage notes ranged from November 2007 to November 2032. In addition, we have non-cancelable ground leases at seven of our shopping centers. We also lease space for our White Plains corporate office for a term expiring in 2015. The following table summarizes our debt maturities and obligations under non-cancelable operating leases as of September 30, 2007:

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have investments in the following joint ventures for the purpose of investing in operating properties. We account for these investments using the equity method of accounting as we have a non-controlling interest. As such, our financial statements reflect our share of income and loss from but not the assets and liabilities of these joint ventures.
     Reference is made to Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of our unconsolidated investments. Our pro rata share of unconsolidated debt related to these investments is as follows:
                         
(dollars in millions)   Pro rata share of     Interest rate at        
Investment   mortgage debt     September 30, 2007     Maturity date

  $ 31.4       5.37 %   December 2014

Total
  $ 73.2                  
 
                     
In addition, we have arranged for the provision of eight separate letters of credit in connection with certain leases and investments. As of September 30, 2007, there were no outstanding balances under any of these letters of credit. If these letters of credit were fully drawn, the combined maximum amount of exposure would be $18.4 million.
HISTORICAL CASH FLOW
The following table compares the historical cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 (“2007”) with the cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 (“2006”):

Total
  $ (11.6 )           $ (21.5 )           $ 9.9  
 
                                 
A discussion of the significant changes in cash flow for 2007 versus 2006 are as follows:
The variance in net cash provided by operating activities resulted from an increase of $21.7 million in operating income before non-cash expenses in 2007, which was primarily due to the increase of $27.7 million in distributions of operating income from unconsolidated affiliates as a result of the distributions from Albertson’s in 2007. In addition, a net increase in cash of $30.2 million resulted from changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily other assets, which was the result of the repayment of notes from our qualified intermediary relating to Section 1031 transactions.

Table of Contents

The increase in net cash used in investing activities resulted from $47.0 million of additional expenditures for real estate acquisitions, development and tenant installations in 2007, $9.3 million of additional investments in unconsolidated affiliates in 2007 due to our investment in CityPoint, $10.1 million of additional collections of notes receivable in 2006, and the repayment of $19.0 million of our preferred equity investment in 2006. These net increases were offset by $35.6 million of additional notes receivable originated in 2006.
The increase in net cash provided by financing activities resulted from an additional $15.0 million in cash received from the issuance of convertible debt in 2007, an increase of $24.2 million of contributions from partners and members in 2007, and an additional $19.1 million used for the repayment of debt in 2006. These increases were offset by additional cash of $26.5 million from borrowings in 2006 and an additional $25.1 million of distributions to partners and members in 2007.
INFLATION
Our long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on our net income. Such provisions include clauses enabling us to receive percentage rents based on tenants’ gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or, in certain cases, escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. Such escalation clauses are often related to increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indexes. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits us to seek to increase rents upon re-rental at market rates if current rents are below the then existing market rates. Most of our leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates related to our mortgage debt. See the discussion under Item 2 for certain quantitative details related to our mortgage debt.
Currently, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily through the use of fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap agreements. As of September 30, 2007, we had total mortgage debt and convertible notes payable of $488.1 million of which $406.9 million or 83%, was fixed-rate, inclusive of interest rate swaps, and $81.2 million, or 17%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR plus certain spreads. As of September 30, 2007, we were a party to three interest rate swaps transactions and one interest rate cap transaction to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $24.2 million and $30.0 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt, respectively.
The following table sets forth information as of September 30, 2007 concerning our long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity and weighted-average interest rates of maturing amounts:

Table of Contents

Of our total consolidated and pro-rata share of unconsolidated outstanding debt, $18.0 million and $72.4 million will become due in 2007 and 2008, respectively. As we intend on refinancing some or all of such debt at the then-existing market interest rates which may be greater than the current interest rate, our interest expense would increase by approximately $0.9 million annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. Interest expense on our variable-debt, net of variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of September 30, 2007 would increase by $0.8 million if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. We may seek additional variable-rate financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, we would consider hedging against the interest rate risk related to such additional variable-rate debt through interest rate swaps and protection agreements, or other means.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. In accordance with paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report.

(b) Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

          2.1.1 Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender hereby agrees to make and Borrower hereby agrees to accept the Loan on the Closing Date.
          2.1.2 Single Disbursement to Borrower. Borrower may request and receive only one (1) borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed.

          2.1.4 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to (a) acquire the Property or repay and discharge any existing loans relating to the Property, (b) pay all past-due Basic Carrying Costs, if any, with respect to the Property, (c) make deposits into the Reserve Funds on the Closing Date in the amounts provided herein, (d) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, as approved by Lender, (e) fund any working capital requirements of the Property and (f) distribute the balance, if any, to Borrower.
          Section 2.2 Interest Rate.
          2.2.1 Interest Rate. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from (and include) the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate calculated as set forth in Section 2.2.2 below. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date the interest accrued on the Loan for the related Interest Period.

 


 

          2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the Interest Period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance as of the beginning of the Interest Period.
          2.2.3 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
          2.2.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
          Section 2.3 Loan Payment.
          2.3.1 Monthly Debt Service Payments. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from the Closing Date up to and including July 31, 2007, which interest shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof and (b) on each Payment Date commencing on the Payment Date occurring in September, 2007 and thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make a payment to Lender equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount.
          2.3.2 Payments Generally. The first Interest Period hereunder shall commence on and include the Closing Date and shall end on and include July 31, 2007. Thereafter each Interest Period shall commence on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the term of this Agreement and shall end on and include the final calendar date of such calendar month. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day and with respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Interest Rate or the Default

 


 

Rate, as the case may be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.
          2.3.3 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
          2.3.4 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents (including the amounts due on the Maturity Date) are not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
          2.3.5 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office or as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
          Section 2.4 Prepayments.
          2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.4.1 and Section 2.4.2, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date. If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, commencing after the Payment Date two (2) months prior to the Maturity Date, or on any Payment Date thereafter (or on any date thereafter, provided that interest is paid through the next Payment Date), Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt in whole, but not in part without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.
          2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of the Property or otherwise remit such Net Proceeds to Borrower pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, Borrower shall prepay or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with accrued interest through the end of the related Interest Period and any other sums due hereunder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred

 


 

and is continuing, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt (until paid in full) in any order or priority in its sole discretion. Other than following an Event of Default, no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2.
          2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If following an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender or recovery shall be (a) made on the next occurring Payment Date together with the Monthly Debt Service Payment and (b) deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Default Premium.
          2.4.4 Prepayment Prior to Defeasance Expiration Date. If the Permitted Release Date has occurred but the Defeasance Expiration Date has not occurred, the Debt may be prepaid in whole (but not in part) prior to the date permitted under Section 2.4.1 hereof upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date on which prepayment is to be made (a “Prepayment Date”) provided no Event of Default exists and upon payment of an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium. Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of determination of the required prepayment consideration. If any notice of prepayment is given, the Debt shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the Debt unless it is accompanied by the prepayment consideration due in connection therewith. If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment.
          Section 2.5 Defeasance.
          2.5.1 Voluntary Defeasance. (a) Provided no Event of Default shall then exist, Borrower shall have the right at any time after the Defeasance Expiration Date and prior to the date voluntarily prepayments are permitted under Section 2.4.1 hereof to voluntarily defease all, but not part, of the Loan by and upon satisfaction of the following conditions (such event being a “Defeasance Event”):
     (i) Borrower shall provide not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date (the “Defeasance Date”) on which the Defeasance Event is to occur;
     (ii) [intentionally omitted];

Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and operations. Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the sole business of Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of the Property. The ownership interests in Borrower are as set forth on the organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule III.
          4.1.2 Proceedings. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and such other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
          4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
          4.1.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower, Guarantor, Principal or the Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower, Guarantor, Principal or the Property, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower, Guarantor, Principal or the condition or ownership of the Property.
          4.1.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is bound. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other

 


 

agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (xxiii) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.
          4.1.6 Title. Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. The Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
          4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into this transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower nor any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any of its constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such constituent Persons.
          4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a

 


 

material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
          4.1.9 No Plan Assets. Borrower does not sponsor, is not obligated to contribute to, and is not itself an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to any state or other statute , regulation or other restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including but not limited to the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Loan Documents.
          4.1.10 Compliance. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower and the Property and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by Borrower or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property any act or omission affording the federal government or any other Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.
          4.1.11 Financial Information. All financial data, including, without limitation, the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower and the Property, as applicable, as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared or audited by n independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Property or the operation thereof as a retail shopping center, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower from that set forth in said financial statements.

Further notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall provide Lender at least fifteen (15) days prior notice for the approval or rejection of any proposed Lease demising over 10,000 square feet (each a “Material Lease”).

          5.1.21 Alterations. Borrower shall obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any alterations to any Improvements, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed except with respect to alterations that may have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s financial condition, the value of the Property or the Net Operating Income. Notwithstanding the

 


 

foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any alterations that will not have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s financial condition, the value of the Property or the Net Operating Income, provided that such alterations are made in connection with (a) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease executed on or before the date hereof, (b) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms and provisions of a Lease and not adversely affecting any structural component of any Improvements, any utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any building constituting a part of any Improvements, or (c) alterations performed in connection with the Restoration of the Property after the occurrence of a Casualty or Condemnation in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the Improvements at the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) shall at any time exceed Seven Hundred Eighty Seven Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($787,500.00) (the “Threshold Amount”), Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (A) cash, (B) U.S. Obligations, (C) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned to any Securities or any class thereof in connection with any Securitization or (D) a completion and performance bond or an irrevocable letter of credit (payable on sight draft only) issued by a financial institution having a rating by S&P of not less than “A-1+” if the term of such bond or letter of credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such term is in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial institution having a rating that is acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned to any Securities or class thereof in connection with any Securitization. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and Lender may apply such security from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such alterations.
          5.1.22 Operation of Property. (a) Borrower shall cause the Property to be maintained in good and safe condition and operated, in all material respects, in accordance with the Management Agreement (or Replacement Management Agreement) as applicable.

          (b) Borrower shall: (i) promptly perform and/or observe, in all material respects, all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by it under the Management Agreement, and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly notify Lender of any material default under the Management Agreement of which it is aware; (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, notice, report and estimate received by it under the Management Agreement; and (iv) enforce the performance and observance of all

In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (x) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area”, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Note or (2) the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended or such greater amount as Lender shall require and (y) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in the event the Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity;

respective dates of payment provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;
               (iii) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance, otherwise known as Owner Contractor’s Protective Liability, covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;
               (iv) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if steam boilers or other pressure-fixed vessels are in operation, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above;

               (ix) the insurance required under this Section 6.1(a) above shall cover perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism and Borrower shall maintain insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism on terms (including amounts) consistent with those required under Sections 6.1(a) above at all times during the term of the Loan; and
               (x) upon sixty (60) days written notice, such other reasonable insurance, including, but not limited to, sinkhole or land subsidence insurance, and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.
          (b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof, shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of “AA” or better (and the equivalent thereof) by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (one (1) of which shall be S&P if they are rating the Securities and one (1) of which will be Moody’s if they are rating the Securities), or if only one (1) Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then only by such Rating Agency. The Policies described in Section 6.1 hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
          (c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) hereof.
          (d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof, except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(vii) of this Agreement, shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
          (e) All Policies shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
               (i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

 


 

               (ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;
               (iii) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and
               (iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
          (f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate after three (3) Business Days notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender deems necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the lapse of any such coverage. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
          Section 6.2 Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve the final settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
          Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall

 


 

not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any portion of the Property is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
          Section 6.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:
          (a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) hereof are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
          (b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 (a)(i), (iv), (ix) and (x) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
                    (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
                    (B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty-five percent (35%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;

 


 

     (C) Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than the Rentable Space Percentage of the total rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and Borrower and/or Tenant, as applicable under the respective Lease, will make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto at their sole cost and expense. The term “Rentable Space Percentage” shall mean (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to ninety percent (90%) and (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to ninety percent (90%);
     (D) Borrower shall diligently proceed with the Restoration efforts as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;
     (E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
     (F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Anchor Tenant Leases, (3) such time as may be required under all applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof;
     (G) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
     (H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;

 


 

     (I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements;
     (J) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Property, after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or greater than 1.20 to 1.0 (assuming a Debt Service Constant of 7.27% based upon payments of interest only);
     (K) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Lender; and
     (L) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.
     (ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
     (iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
     (iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from

 


 

time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
     (v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
     (vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents.

 


 

     (vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds (and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency) deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be deposited in the Lockbox Account to be disbursed in accordance with the Lockbox Agreement, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
          (c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) hereof may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof, whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion.
          (d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
VII. RESERVE FUNDS
Section 7.1 Required Repairs.
          7.1.1 Deposits. Borrower shall perform the repairs at the Property, as more particularly set forth on Schedule II hereto (such repairs hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”). Borrower shall complete the Required Repairs on or before the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule II. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if (a) Borrower does not complete the Required Repairs at the Property by the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule II, or (b) Borrower does not satisfy each condition contained in Section 7.1.2 hereof. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs at the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount for the Property set forth on such Schedule II hereto to perform the Required Repairs for the Property. Amounts so deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in accordance with Section 7.5 hereof. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Required Repair Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Required Repair Account”.

 


 

          7.1.2 Release of Required Repair Funds. Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (a) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (b) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (c) Lender shall have received an Officers’ Certificate (i) stating that all Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the Required Repairs, (ii) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement, and (iii) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such Officers’ Certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (d) at Lender’s option, a title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (e) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account with respect to the Property unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than Ten Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account is less than Ten Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000.00), in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made) and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2.
          Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth (1/12)of the Taxes and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against

 


 

future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and Other Charges and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower’s obligation to make monthly deposits with Lender for Insurance Premiums shall be suspended for so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Borrower provides Lender with written evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all insurance coverages required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are being maintained in full force and effect through one or more blanket insurance policies (provided that any such blanket insurance policies provide the same level of coverage which would otherwise be provided by a stand-alone policy). Borrower shall provide evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender on an annual basis thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the existing insurance that the insurance has been renewed and will provide notice of cancellation for non-payment. In the event Borrower fails to provide such evidence or an Event of Default occurs, however, Borrower will thereafter be required to make deposits with Lender for Insurance Premiums as provided herein.
Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
          7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund. On the Closing Date and on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall pay to Lender $3,535.19 (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Property (collectively, the “Replacements”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Account”. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Property.
          7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. (a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property, replacements of inventory or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund.
          (b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(e) hereof) as determined by Lender. In no

 


 

event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists.
          (c) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made. With each request Borrower shall certify that all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below in connection with a particular Replacement, each request shall include evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of all such amounts. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e) hereof, each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion of the subject Replacement satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.
          (d) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than Twenty-five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).
          (e) If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds Twenty-five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00), (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement

 


 

have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
          (f) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than Ten Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000.00).
          7.3.3 Performance of Replacements. (a) Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep the Property in condition and repair consistent with other first class, full service retail shopping centers in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the Property is located, and to keep the Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.
          (b) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders over Twenty-five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Replacements. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
          (c) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, after notice and reasonable period to cure, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, upon reasonable prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
          (d) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of such Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make such Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake such Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing such Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to such Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete such Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all

 


 

existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of such Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
          (e) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing any Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.
          (f) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.
          (g) Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
          (h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender).
          (i) Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or other liens of any nature have been placed against the Property since the date of recordation of the related Mortgage and that title to the Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the related Mortgage and any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).

 


 

          (j) All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.
          (k) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.
          7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements. (a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Fund shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
          (b) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.
          7.3.5 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
          Section 7.4 Rollover Reserve.
          7.4.1 Deposits to Rollover Reserve Fund. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender the sum of $1,500,000.00 (the “Initial Rollover Reserve Deposit”), and then Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date the sum of $9,250.00 (the “Monthly Rollover Reserve Deposit”), which amounts shall be deposited with and held by Lender for tenant improvement and leasing commission obligations incurred following the date hereof. The Initial Rollover Reserve Deposit, the Monthly Rollover Reserve Deposits and all other amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Rollover Reserve Fund” and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Rollover Reserve Account”.
          7.4.2 Withdrawal of Rollover Reserve Funds. Lender shall make disbursements from the Rollover Reserve Fund for tenant improvement and leasing commission obligations incurred by Borrower. All such expenses shall be approved by Lender in its sole

 


 

discretion. Lender shall make disbursements as requested by Borrower on a quarterly basis in increments of no less than $5,000.00 upon delivery by Borrower of Lender’s standard form of draw request accompanied by copies of paid invoices for the amounts requested and, if required by Lender, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment. Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a quarterly disbursement in order to verify completion of improvements for which reimbursement is sought.
          7.4.3 Release of Rollover Reserve Funds. Upon evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that Borrower has entered into lease extensions for terms of not less than five (5) years with both J.C. Penney and T.J. Maxx, Lender shall make a disbursement from the Rollover Reserve Fund of $1,100,000 of the Initial Rollover Reserve Deposit.
          Section 7.5 Reserve Funds, Generally. Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account in Permitted Investments in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Cash Management Agreement. Interest earned on the Replacement Reserve Funds and Rollover Reserve Funds shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund. Any interest on the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds shall not be added to or become a part thereof and shall be the sole property of and shall be paid to Lender. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest earned on the Reserve Funds credited or paid to Borrower. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

          Section 8.2 Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
          (b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
          (c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder.

 


 

Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
          Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
          IX. SPECIAL PROVISIONS

In connection with any Resizing Event, Borrower covenants and agrees to modify the Cash Management Agreement with respect to the newly created components and/or mezzanine loans.
          9.1.3 Securitization Costs. All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower and Guarantor in connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by Lender.

(a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization.

Moreover, the indemnification and reimbursement obligations provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective, valid and binding obligations of the Indemnifying Persons whether or not an indemnification agreement described in clause (A) above is provided.
          (c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, the Indemnifying Persons jointly and severally agree to indemnify (i) the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in the Covered Disclosure Information, or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
          (d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying Person in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9.2. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify any Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from any Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified

 


 

Person in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnified Person.
          (e) Without the prior written consent of BSCMI (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the Indemnifying Person shall have given BSCMI reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings. As long as an Indemnifying Person has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
          (f) The Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the

 


 

Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan.
          (g) The Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.
          (h) The liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
          (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.
          Section 9.3 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of any of the Assignment of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:

 


 

          (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or Principal or Guarantor in connection with the Loan;
          (ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower;
          (iii) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement or in the Mortgage concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances and asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in either document;
          (iv) the removal or disposal of any portion of the Property after an Event of Default;
          (v) the misapplication or conversion by Borrower of (A) any Insurance Proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Property, (B) any Awards received in connection with a Condemnation of all or a portion of the Property, (C) any Rents following an Event of Default, or (D) any Rents paid more than one month in advance;
          (vi) failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create Liens on any portion of the Property; and
          (vii) any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof.
          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower (i) in the event of: (a) Borrower filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) the filing of an involuntary petition against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, in which Borrower colludes with, or otherwise assists such Person, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower from any Person; (c) Borrower filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (d) Borrower consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the Property; (e) Borrower making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; (ii) if the first full monthly payment of principal and interest on the

 


 

Note is not paid when due; (iii) if Borrower fails to maintain its status as a Single Purpose Entity, after the Guaranty Notice (as defined in the Guaranty) if Borrower fails to permit on-site inspections of the Property, fails to provide financial information, or fails to appoint a new property manager upon the request of Lender as permitted under this Agreement, each as required by, and in accordance with, the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Mortgage; (iv) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Indebtedness or voluntary Lien encumbering the Property; or (v) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Transfer as required by this Agreement or the Mortgage.
          Section 9.4 Matters Concerning Manager. If (a) an Event of Default occurs, (b) Manager shall become bankrupt or insolvent or (c) a default occurs under the Management Agreement, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a Qualified Manager pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such Qualified Manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates.
          Section 9.5 Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (any such servicer/trustee, together with its agents, nominees or designees, are collectively referred to as “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall not be responsible for any set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement or the monthly servicing fee due to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that Borrower shall be responsible for expenses incurred by Lender or Servicer as set forth in Section 10.13 hereof.

In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
          Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity.

Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Lockbox Account or Cash Management Account, as applicable.
          (b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
          (c) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.

which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
          Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries. (a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
          (b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
          Section 10.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, BSCMI, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender.
          Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
          Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
          Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were

 


 

represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
          Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
          Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, the Application Letter dated August 22, 2006 (as amended) between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
          Section 10.23 Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one (1) Person the obligations and liabilities of each Person shall be joint and several.
          Section 10.24 Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:
          (a) the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice;
          (b) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;

 


 

          (c) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5.1.11 hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness; and
          (d) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day to day operation of the Property).
The rights described above in this Section 10.24 may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.
          Section 10.25 MERS. Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MERS”), serves as mortgagee of record and secured party solely as nominee, in an administrative capacity, for Lender and only holds legal title to the interests granted, assigned, and transferred in the Security Instruments and the Assignments of Leases. MERS shall at all times comply with the instructions of Lender. If necessary to comply with law or custom, MERS (for the benefit of Lender) may be directed by Lender to exercise any or all of those interests, including without limitation, the right to foreclose and sell the Property, and take any action required of Lender, including without limitation, a release, discharge or reconveyance of the Mortgage. Subject to the foregoing, all references in the Loan Documents to “Mortgagee” shall include Lender and its successors and assigns. The relationship of Mortgagor and Lender under the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender (the role of MERS thereunder being solely that of nominee as set forth above and not that of a lender); and Mortgagee neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any other Person with respect to the Property.
Preparer affirmation: I affirm, under penalty of perjury, that I have taken reasonable care to redact each Social Security number in this document, unless required by law.

     Section 5.13 Leasing Matters.
     (a) Borrower may enter into a proposed Lease (including the renewal or extension of an existing Lease (a “Renewal Lease”)) without the prior written consent of Lender, provided such proposed Lease or Renewal Lease (i) provides for rental rates and terms comparable to existing local market rates and terms (taking into account the type and quality of the tenant) as of the date such Lease is executed by Borrower (unless, in the case of a Renewal Lease, the rent payable during such renewal, or a formula or other method to compute such rent, is provided for in the original Lease), (ii) is an arm’s-length transaction with a bona fide, independent third party tenant, (iii) does not have a materially adverse effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole, (iv) is subject and subordinate to the Mortgage and the Tenant thereunder agrees to attorn to Lender, (v) does not contain any option, offer, right of first refusal, or other similar right to acquire all or any portion of the Property, (vi) has a base term of less than fifteen (15) years including options to renew, (vii) has no rent, credits, free rents or concessions granted thereunder, and (viii) is written on the standard form of lease approved by Lender.

28


 

use of the affected space) does not have a materially adverse effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole, and provided that such Lease, as amended, modified or waived, is otherwise in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement and any subordination agreement binding upon Lender with respect to such Lease. A termination of a Lease with a tenant who is in default beyond applicable notice and grace periods shall not be considered an action which has a materially adverse effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole.

     (c) In addition to the foregoing, in the event that Lender, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, determines that the Property is not being managed in accordance with generally accepted management practices for projects similarly situated, Lender may deliver written notice thereof to Borrower and the Manager, which notice shall specify with particularity the grounds for Lender’s determination. If Lender reasonably determines that the conditions specified in Lender’s notice are not remedied to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction by Borrower or the Manager within thirty (30) days from the date of such notice or that Borrower or the Manager have failed to diligently undertake correcting such conditions within such thirty (30) day period,

     Section 5.16 Debt Cancellation

     Borrower shall not initiate or consent to any zoning reclassification of any portion of the Property or seek any variance under any existing zoning ordinance or use or permit the use of any portion of the Property in any manner that could result in such use becoming a non-conforming use under any zoning ordinance or any other applicable land use law, rule or regulation, without the prior consent of Lender.
     Section 5.18 ERISA
     (a) Borrower shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA.
     (b) Borrower further covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested by Lender in its sole discretion, that (i) Borrower is not and does not maintain an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA; (ii) Borrower is not subject to state statutes

The LLC Agreement shall further provide that (i) Special Member shall automatically cease to be a member of Borrower upon the admission to Borrower of a substitute Member, (ii) Special Member shall be a member of Borrower that has no interest in the profits, losses and capital of Borrower and has no right to receive any distributions of Borrower assets, (iii) pursuant to Section 18-301 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “Act”), Special Member shall not be required to make any capital contributions to Borrower and shall not receive a limited liability company interest in Borrower, (iv) Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, may not bind Borrower and (v) except as required by any mandatory provision of the Act, Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, shall have no right to vote on, approve or otherwise consent to any action by, or matter relating to, Borrower, including, without limitation, the merger, consolidation or conversion of Borrower.

Any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any Creditors Rights Laws shall not cause Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of Borrower and upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of Borrower shall continue without dissolution. The LLC Agreement shall provide that each of Member and Special Member waives any right it might have to agree in writing to dissolve Borrower upon the occurrence of any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any Creditors Rights Laws, or the occurrence of an event that causes Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of Borrower.

In addition, Borrower shall not change or permit to be changed any organizational documents of Borrower or any SPE Component Entity (if any) if such change would adversely impact the covenants set forth in Section 6.1 hereof. Borrower authorizes Lender to file any financing statement or financing statement amendment required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein. At the request of Lender, Borrower shall execute a certificate in form satisfactory to Lender listing the trade names under which Borrower intends to operate the Property, and representing and warranting that Borrower does business under no other trade name with respect to the Property. If Borrower does not now have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, or if the organizational identification number assigned to Borrower subsequently changes, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such organizational identification number or change.
     Section 6.3 Business and Operations
     Borrower will qualify to do business and will remain in good standing under the laws of the State as and to the extent the same are required for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the Property.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.2, the following transfers shall not be deemed to be a Prohibited Transfer:
     (a) a transfer by devise or descent or by operation of law upon the death of a member, partner or shareholder of a Restricted Party, so long as Borrower delivers notice to Lender as soon as practicable thereafter and that such Restricted Party is promptly reconstituted, if applicable, following the death of such member, partner or shareholder and there is no change in Control of such Restricted Party as a result of such transfer;

     (c) the Sale or Pledge, in one or a series of transactions, of the stock, limited partnership interests or non-managing membership interests (as the case may be) in a Restricted Party; provided, however, that no such transfers shall result in a change in Control in the Restricted Party, except as set forth in (g) below, or change in Control of the Property, and as a condition to each such transfer, Lender shall receive not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of such proposed transfer;
     (d) a Transfer by P/A Associates, LLC, (“P/A Associates”) of 100% of its member interest in Borrower Principal to Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”) or a subsidiary, parent or affiliate of Fund II; and

37


 

benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by the Trust or any of its subsidiaries shall not constitute an acquisition which can cause a change of Control; or (B) the merger or consolidation of the Trust in one or more transactions with a non-affiliated entity in which the Trust is not the surviving entity, provided that the surviving entity is approved by the Lender in the reasonable exercise of its judgment.
     Section 7.4 Lender’s Rights
     Lender reserves the right to condition the consent to a Prohibited Transfer requested hereunder upon (a) a modification of the terms hereof and an assumption of the Note and the other Loan Documents as so modified by the proposed Prohibited Transfer, (b) receipt of payment of a transfer fee equal to one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and all of Lender’s expenses incurred in connection with such Prohibited Transfer, (c) receipt of written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that the Prohibited Transfer will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or if higher, then current ratings issued in connection with a Securitization, or if a Securitization has not occurred, any ratings to be assigned in connection with a Securitization, (d) the proposed transferee’s continued compliance with the covenants set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the covenants in Article 6) and the other Loan Documents, (e) a new manager for the Property and a new management agreement satisfactory to Lender, and (f) the satisfaction of such other conditions and/or legal opinions as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion to be in the interest of Lender. All expenses incurred by Lender shall be payable by Borrower whether or not Lender consents to the Prohibited Transfer. Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon a Prohibited Transfer made without Lender’s consent. This provision shall apply to each and every Prohibited Transfer, whether or not Lender has consented to any previous Prohibited Transfer. In the event an opinion letter pertaining to substantive consolidation was delivered to Lender and the Rating Agencies in connection with the closing of the Loan, and if any Sale or Pledge permitted under this Article 7 results in any Person and its Affiliates owning in excess of forty-nine percent (49%) of the ownership interests in a Restricted Party, Borrower shall, prior to such transfer, and in addition to any other requirement for Lender consent contained herein, deliver a revised opinion letter pertaining to substantive consolidation to Lender reflecting such Prohibited Transfer, which opinion shall be in form, scope and substance acceptable in all respects to Lender and the Rating Agencies.
     Section 7.5 Assumption
     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 7, following the date which is six (6) months from the Closing Date, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold consent to a transfer of the Property in its entirety to, and the related assumption of the Loan by, any Person (a “Transferee”) provided that each of the following terms and conditions are satisfied:
     (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
     (b) Borrower shall have (i) delivered written notice to Lender of the terms of such prospective transfer not less than sixty (60) days before the date on which such transfer is scheduled to close and, concurrently therewith, all such information concerning the proposed

38


 

Transferee as Lender shall reasonably require and (ii) paid to Lender a non-refundable processing fee in the amount of $10,000. Lender shall have the right to approve or disapprove the proposed transfer based on its then current underwriting and credit requirements for similar loans secured by similar properties which loans are sold in the secondary market, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. In determining whether to give or withhold its approval of the proposed transfer, Lender shall consider the experience and track record of Transferee and its principals in owning and operating facilities similar to the Property, the financial strength of Transferee and its principals, the general business standing of Transferee and its principals and Transferee’s and its principals’ relationships and experience with contractors, vendors, tenants, lenders and other business entities; provided, however, that, notwithstanding Lender’s agreement to consider the foregoing factors in determining whether to give or withhold such approval, such approval shall be given or withheld based on what Lender determines to be commercially reasonable and, if given, may be given subject to such conditions as Lender may deem reasonably appropriate;
     (c) Borrower shall have paid to Lender, concurrently with the closing of such transfer, (i) a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal to one half percent (0.5%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note, and (ii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the transfer;
     (d) (i) Transferee shall have assumed and agreed to pay the Debt as and when due subject to the provisions of Article 15 hereof and, prior to or concurrently with the closing of such transfer, Transferee and its constituent partners, members or shareholders as Lender may require, shall have executed, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said assumption and (ii) if required by Lender, a Person affiliated with Transferee and acceptable to Lender shall have assumed the obligations of Borrower Principal under the Loan Documents with respect to all acts and events occurring or arising after the transfer of the Property pursuant to this Section 7.5;
     (e) Borrower and Transferee, without any cost to Lender, shall furnish any information reasonably requested by Lender for the preparation of, and shall authorize Lender to file, new financing statements and financing statement amendments and other documents to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and shall execute any additional documents reasonably requested by Lender;
     (f) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, without any cost or expense to Lender, such endorsements to Lender’s Title Insurance Policy insuring that fee simple or leasehold title to the Property, as applicable, is vested in Transferee (subject to Permitted Encumbrances), hazard insurance endorsements or certificates and other similar materials as Lender may deem necessary at the time of the transfer, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender;
     (g) Transferee shall have furnished to Lender, if Transferee is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, all appropriate papers evidencing Transferee’s organization and good standing, and the qualification of the signers to execute the assumption of the Debt, which papers shall include certified copies of all documents relating to the organization and formation of Transferee and of the entities, if any, which are partners or members of Transferee. Transferee and such constituent partners, members or shareholders of

39


 

Transferee (as the case may be), as Lender shall require, shall comply with the covenants set forth in Article 6 hereof;
     (h) Transferee shall assume the obligations of Borrower under any Management Agreement or provide a new management agreement with a new manager which meets with the requirements of Section 5.14 hereof and assign to Lender as additional security such new management agreement;
     (i) Transferee shall furnish an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Lender and its counsel (A) that Transferee’s formation documents provide for the matters described in subparagraph (g) above, (B) that the assumption of the Debt has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and that the Note, the Mortgage, this Agreement, the assumption agreement and the other Loan Documents are valid, binding and enforceable against Transferee in accordance with their terms, (C) that Transferee and any entity which is a controlling stockholder, member or general partner of Transferee, have been duly organized, and are in existence and good standing, and (E) with respect to such other matters as Lender may reasonably request;
     (j) if required by Lender, Lender shall have received confirmation in writing from the Rating Agencies that rate the Securities to the effect that the transfer will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating initially assigned or to be assigned to the Securities;
     (k) Borrower’s obligations under the contract of sale pursuant to which the transfer is proposed to occur shall expressly be subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Section 7.5; and
     (l) in the event a substantive non-consolidation opinion was required in connection with the closing of the Loan, Transferee shall, prior to such transfer, deliver a substantive non-consolidation opinion to Lender, which opinion shall be in form, scope and substance acceptable in all respects to Lender and the Rating Agencies.
     A consent by Lender with respect to a transfer of the Property in its entirety to, and the related assumption of the Loan by, a Transferee pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of Lender to consent to any subsequent Sale or Pledge of the Property. Upon the transfer of the Property pursuant to this Section 7.5, Borrower and Borrower Principal shall be relieved of all liability under the Loan Documents for acts, events, conditions, or circumstances occurring or arising after the date of such transfer, except to the extent that such acts, events, conditions, or circumstances are the proximate result of acts, events, conditions, or circumstances that existed prior to the date of such transfer, whether or not discovered prior or subsequent to the date of such transfer.
ARTICLE 8 — INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION; RESTORATION
     Section 8.1 Insurance.
     (a) Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, at all times insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the following coverages:

40


 

     (i) comprehensive “special causes of loss” form of insurance (or its equivalent) on the Improvements and the Personal Property (A) in an amount equal to not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings); (B) written on a replacement cost basis and containing either an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property or a waiver of all co-insurance provisions; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of $10,000 for all such insurance coverage; (D) at all times insuring against at least those hazards that are commonly insured against under a “special causes of loss” form of policy, as the same shall exist on the date hereof, and together with any increase in the scope of coverage provided under such form after the date hereof; and (E) if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, providing coverage for contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements and containing an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement. In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (y) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a “special flood hazard area” designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended; and (z) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the event the Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic risk, provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the special causes of loss form required under this subsection (i);
     (ii) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, with such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a general aggregate limit of not less than $2,000,000 and a per occurrence limit of not less than $1,000,000; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations; (3) independent contractors; and (4) contractual liability;
     (iii) loss of rents insurance or business income insurance, as applicable, (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above; and (C) which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property occurs, the loss of rents or income, as applicable, will be insured until completion of Restoration or the expiration of twelve (12) months, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. For hotels, motels, health care, and other property types without a standard rent roll, the amount of business income insurance required shall be not less than eighteen (18) months of debt service, taxes, insurance, and other fixed expenses. The amount of such loss of rents or business income insurance, as applicable, shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the

41


 

succeeding period of coverage as required above. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such loss of rents or business income insurance, as applicable;
     (iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called Builder’s Risk Completed Value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against “special causes of losss” insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;
     (v) workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the State, and employer’s liability insurance in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its operation (if applicable);
     (vi) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above;
     (vii) excess liability insurance in an amount not less than $5,000,000 per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance required under subsection (ii) above; and
     (viii) upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.
     With respect to the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to clauses (i) through (viii) above, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with those of prudent owners of institutional quality commercial real estate, to maintain insurance coverage against Losses resulting from acts of terrorism.
     (b) All insurance provided for in Section 8.1(a)(i) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of “BBB” or better by S&P and “Baa2” by Moody’s (or such other ratings promulgated from time

42


 

to time by S&P and Moody’s for properties and transactions similar in type and size to the Property and the Loan) and/or a general policy rating of “A-” or better and a financial class of XV or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc. The Policies described in Section 8.1(a)(i) shall designate Lender and its successors and assigns as additional insureds, mortgagees and/or loss payee as deemed appropriate by Lender. To the extent such Policies are not available as of the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender prior to the Closing Date an Acord 28 or similar certificate of insurance evidencing the coverages and amounts required hereunder and, upon request of Lender as soon as available after the Closing Date, certified copies of all Policies. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of any insurance coverage in place with respect to the Property, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Acord 28 or similar certificate, accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due in connection therewith (the “Insurance Premiums”), and, as soon as available thereafter, certified copies of all renewal Policies.
     (c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 8.1(a)(i).
     (d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 8.1(a)(i), except for the Policy referenced in Section 8.1(a)(i), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
     All Policies provided for in Section 8.1(a)(i) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
     (i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
     (ii) the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled by the insurer without at least thirty (30) days’ (ten (10) days’ in the case of non-payment of premium) prior written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;
     (iii) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and
     (iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
     (e) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property,

43


 

including, without limitation, obtaining such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
     Section 8.2 Casualty
     If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property in accordance with Section 8.4 to the extent Net Proceeds are made available by Lender or if Borrower is required to do so pursuant to the terms of any Lease. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Borrower shall adjust all claims for Insurance Proceeds in consultation with, and approval of, Lender; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the exclusive right to participate in the adjustment of all claims for Insurance Proceeds.
     Section 8.3 Condemnation
     Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property of which Borrower has knowledge and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 8.4, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
     Section 8.4 Restoration
     The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:

44


 

     (a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than $500,000 and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than $500,000, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4(b) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 8.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i) as a result of a Casualty, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award as a result of a Condemnation, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
     (i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
     (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
     (B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty and the amount of damage does not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the Property’s fair market value immediately prior to the occurrence of such Casualty, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and less than fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate floor area of the Improvements is taken and the taking does not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Property’s fair market value immediately prior to the occurrence of such taking;
     (C) Leases covering in the aggregate at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the total rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and each Major Lease in effect as of such date shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required for Restoration;
     (D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

45


 

     (E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(i) above;
     (F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases or material agreements affecting the Property, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(i);

     (H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
     (I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements;
     (J) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Lender; and
     (K) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable judgment to cover the cost of the Restoration.
     (ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender until disbursements commence, and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all the conditions precedent to such advance, including those set forth in Section 8.4(b), have been satisfied, (B) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full, and (C) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Insurance Proceeds from the Policies required to

46


 

be maintained by Borrower pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i) shall be controlled by Lender at all times, shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.4 and shall be used solely for the payment of the obligations under the Loan Documents and Operating Expenses.
     (iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Restoration Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts in excess of $100,000 under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Restoration Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Restoration Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
     (iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall be reduced to five percent (5%) of the costs incurred upon receipt by Lender of satisfactory evidence that fifty percent (50%) of the Restoration has been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 8.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued

47


 

a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
     (v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
     (vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Restoration Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Restoration Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 8.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.
     (vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
     (c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 8.4(b) may (x) be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, (y) at the sole discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes and upon such conditions as Lender shall designate. If, pursuant to this Section 8.4, Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, (i) the lien of the Mortgage shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt; and (ii) notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Borrower shall not be required to repair or restore the portion of the Property affected by such Casualty or Condemnation to the condition or character the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation so long as no Event of Default exists, but Borrower shall be required to remove all debris with respect to the portion of the Property not required to be restored in a manner that is safe and is not dangerous to health or other property and is in compliance with all applicable laws.
     (d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable

48


 

thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
ARTICLE 9 — RESERVE FUNDS
     Section 9.1 Required Repairs.
     (a) Borrower shall make the repairs and improvements to the Property set forth on Schedule I and as more particularly described in the Property Condition Report prepared in connection with the closing of the Loan (such repairs hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”). Borrower shall complete the Required Repairs in a good and workmanlike manner on or before the date that is twelve (12) months from the date hereof or within such other time frame for completion specifically set forth on Schedule I.
     (b) Borrower shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible Account with Lender or Lender’s agent to fund the Required Repairs (the “Required Repair Account”) into which Borrower shall deposit on the date hereof the amount of $0, which amount equals 125% of the estimated cost for the completion of the Required Repairs. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Required Repair Funds.”
     Section 9.2 Replacements.
     (a) On an ongoing basis throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower shall make capital repairs, replacements and improvements necessary to keep the Property in good order and repair and in a good marketable condition or prevent deterioration of the Property, including, but not limited to, those repairs, replacements and improvements more particularly described in the Property Condition Report prepared in connection with the closing of the Loan (collectively, the “Replacements”). Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as commercially reasonable after commencing to make each such Replacement.
     (b) Borrower shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible Account with Lender or Lender’s agent to fund the Replacements (the “Replacement Reserve Account”) into which Borrower shall deposit on the date hereof $0. In addition, Borrower shall deposit $350 (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) into the Replacement Reserve Account on each Scheduled Payment Date beginning on the first Scheduled Payment Date through and including the seventy-second Scheduled Payment Date. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as “Replacement Reserve Funds.” Lender may, in its reasonable discretion, adjust the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit from time to time to an amount sufficient to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Property. In the event Lender shall at any time increase the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit, Borrower may, at its election, request that Lender obtain, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, a Property Condition Report prepared by an engineer selected by Lender in its reasonable discretion, in which case the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be adjusted by Lender based on the results of such report, provided that in no event shall such amounts be reduced below the initial amount of the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit set forth in herein.

49


 

     Section 9.3 Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions.
     Borrower hereby agrees to (a) perform, or cause to be performed, tenant improvements required under any Lease entered into in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.13 of this Agreement (collectively, the “Tenant Improvements”), and (b) pay the costs of leasing commissions incurred by Borrower in connection with the leasing of the Property or a portion thereof (collectively, “Leasing Commissions”).
     Borrower shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible Account with Lender or Lender’s agent to fund Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions (the “Leasing Reserve Account”) into which Borrower shall deposit on the date hereof $0. In addition, Borrower shall deposit with Lender into the Leasing Reserve Account (i) the sum of $0 (the “Leasing Reserve Monthly Deposit”) on each Scheduled Payment Date and (ii) any sum or termination fee payable to Borrower in connection with any Tenant’s election to exercise any early termination option contained in its respective lease of space at the Property (the “Termination Fee Deposit”) on the date of Borrower’s receipt thereof. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Leasing Reserve Funds.”
     Section 9.4 Required Work.
     (a) Borrower shall diligently pursue all Required Repairs and Replacements (collectively, the “Required Work") to completion in accordance with the following requirements:
     (b) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Required Work to the extent such contracts or work orders exceed $50,000. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
     (c) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Required Work is not being or has not been performed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Required Work and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Required Work and to apply the Required Repair Funds or the Replacement Reserve Funds, as applicable, toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Required Work, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
     (d) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion of the Required Work, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete the Required Work and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Reserve Funds, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the Required Work in the name of Borrower upon Borrower’s failure to do so in a workmanlike and timely manner. Such power of attorney shall

50


 

be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any of the Reserve Funds for the purpose of making or completing the Required Work; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to the Required Work as shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Required Work; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Required Work, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do on its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
     (e) Nothing in this Section 9.4 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing the Required Work; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Reserve Funds to make or complete any Required Work; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Required Work; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Required Work.
     (f) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties performing Required Work pursuant to this Section 9.4 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Required Work and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Required Work which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any Required Work made pursuant to this Section 9.4. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender and Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 9.4 or the completion of Required Work pursuant to this Section 9.4.
     (g) Lender may, to the extent any Required Work would reasonably require an inspection of the Property, inspect the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a disbursement of the Reserve Funds in order to verify completion of the Required Work for which reimbursement is sought. Borrower shall pay Lender a reasonable inspection fee not exceeding $1,000 for each such inspection. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of the Reserve Funds. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
     (h) The Required Work and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Required Work shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialman’s or other Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).

51


 

     (i) Before each disbursement of the Reserve Funds, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s or other Liens of any nature have been placed against the Property since the date of recordation of the Mortgage and that title to the Property is free and clear of all Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).
     (j) All Required Work shall comply with all Legal Requirements and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.
     (k) Borrower hereby assigns to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor or materials in connection with the Required Work; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such rights or claims unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
     Section 9.5 Intentionally Deleted.
     Section 9.6 Release of Reserve Funds.
     (a) Upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 9.6, Lender shall disburse to Borrower amounts from (i) the Required Repair Account to the extent necessary to pay for or to reimburse Borrower for the actual costs of each Required Repair (but not exceeding 125% of the original estimated cost of such Required Repair as set forth on Schedule I, unless Lender has agreed to reimburse Borrower for such excess cost pursuant to Section 9.6) or (ii) the Replacement Reserve Account to the extent necessary to reimburse Borrower for the actual costs of any approved Replacements. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in no event shall Lender be required to (x) disburse any amounts which would cause the amount of funds remaining in the Required Repair Account after any disbursement (other than with respect to the final disbursement) to be less than 125% of the then current estimated cost of completing all remaining Required Repairs for the Property, (y) disburse funds from any of the Reserve Accounts if an Event of Default exists, or (z) disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine repairs or maintenance to the Property or for costs which are to be reimbursed from funds held in the Required Repair Account.
     (b) With each request for disbursement, Borrower shall certify in writing to Lender that all Required Work has been performed in accordance with all Legal Requirements and that all such Required Work has been completed lien free and paid for in full or will be paid for in full upon disbursement of the requested funds. In addition, each request for disbursement in excess of $25,000 shall be on a form provided or approved by Lender and shall (i) include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all labor or services provided, (ii) specify (A) the Required Work for which the disbursement is requested, (B) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Required Work includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (C) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Required Work other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (D) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Required Work for which such request for disbursement is made, (iii) if requested by Lender, conditional lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman,

52


 

mechanic or subcontractor with respect to the completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Except as provided in Section 9.6, each request for disbursement shall be made only after completion of the Required Repair, Replacement (or the portion thereof completed in accordance with Section 9.6), or the full performance by the leasing agent of its obligations (in the case of Leasing Commissions), as applicable, for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment of such completion or performance.
     (c) Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to all Legal Requirements and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current disbursement request.
     (d) If (i) the cost of any item of Required Work exceeds $50,000, (ii) the contractor performing such Required Work requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for disbursement from the Reserve Accounts may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, and (D) in the case of a Replacement, funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required.
     (e) Borrower shall not make a request for, nor shall Lender have any obligation to make, any disbursement from any Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) in any amount less than the lesser of (i) $10,000 or (ii) the total cost of the Required Work.
     (f) In the event any Borrower requests a disbursement from the Required Repair Account to pay for or to reimburse Borrower for the actual cost of labor or materials used in connection with repairs or improvements other than the Required Repairs specified on Schedule I, or for a Required Repair to the extent the cost of such Required Repair exceeds 125% of the estimated cost of such Required Repair as set forth on Schedule I (in either case, an “Additional Required Repair”), Borrower shall disclose in writing to Lender the reason why funds in the Required Repair Account should be used to pay for such Additional Required Repair. If Lender determines that (i) such Additional Required Repair is of the type intended to be covered by the Required Repair Account, (ii) such Additional Required Repair is not covered or is not of the type intended to be covered by the Replacement Reserve Account, (iii) costs for such Additional Required Repair are reasonable, (iv) the funds in the Required Repair Account are sufficient to pay for such Additional Required Repair and all other Required Repairs for the Property specified on Schedule I, and (v) all other conditions for disbursement under this Agreement have been met, Lender may disburse funds from the Required Repair Account.
     (g) In the event any Borrower requests a disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay for or to reimburse Borrower for the actual cost of labor or materials used in connection with repairs or improvements other than the Replacements specified in the Property

53


 

Condition Report prepared in connection with the closing of the Loan (an “Additional Replacement”), Borrower shall disclose in writing to Lender the reason why funds in the Replacement Reserve Account should be used to pay for such Additional Replacement. If Lender determines that (i) such Additional Replacement is of the type intended to be covered by the Replacement Reserve Account, (ii) such Additional Replacement is not covered or is not of the type intended to be covered by the Required Repair Account, (iii) costs for such Additional Replacement are reasonable, (iv) the funds in the Replacement Reserve Account are sufficient to pay for such Additional Replacement and all other Replacements for the Property specified in the Property Condition Report, and (v) all other conditions for disbursement under this Agreement have been met, Lender may disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account.
     (h) Lender’s disbursement of any Reserve Funds or other acknowledgment of completion of any Required Work in a manner satisfactory to Lender shall not be deemed a certification or warranty by Lender to any Person that the Required Work has been completed in accordance with Legal Requirements.
     (i) If the funds in any Reserve Account should exceed the amount of payments actually applied by Lender for the purposes of the account, Lender in its sole discretion shall either return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to that Reserve Account. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Reserve Funds are not or will not be sufficient to make the required payments, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within ten (10) days after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.
     (j) The insufficiency of any balance in any of the Reserve Accounts shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
     (k) Upon the earlier to occur of (i) the timely completion of all Required Repairs and any Additional Required Repairs, if any, in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, as verified by Lender in its reasonable discretion, or (ii) the payment in full of the Debt, all amounts remaining on deposit, if any, in the Required Repair Account shall be returned to Borrower or the Person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.
     (l) Upon payment in full of the Debt, all amounts remaining on deposit, if any, in the Replacement Reserve Account shall be returned to Borrower or the Person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.
     Section 9.7 Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds.
     Borrower shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible Account with Lender or Lender’s agent sufficient to discharge Borrower’s obligations for the payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof (the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Account”) into which Borrower shall deposit on the date hereof $24,134.24, which amount, when added to the required monthly deposits set forth in the next sentence, is sufficient to make

54


 

the payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums as required herein. Borrower shall deposit into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account on each Scheduled Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of (i) the date that the same will become delinquent and (ii) the date that additional charges or interest will accrue due to the non-payment thereof, and (b) except to the extent Lender has waived the insurance escrow because the insurance required hereunder is maintained under a blanket insurance Policy acceptable to Lender in accordance with Section 8.1(a)(iii), one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds”). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof. In making any disbursement from the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or tax lien service (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account. In allocating any such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower or the person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within ten (10) days after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.
     Section 9.8 Reserve Funds Generally.
     (a) (i) Except for the Holdback Reserve Account, no earnings or interest on the Reserve Funds shall be payable to Borrower. Neither Lender nor any loan servicer that at any time holds or maintains such non-interest-bearing Reserve Accounts shall have any obligation to keep or maintain such Reserve Accounts or any funds deposited therein in interest-bearing accounts. If Lender or any such loan servicer elects in its sole and absolute discretion to keep or maintain any non-interest-bearing Reserve Account or any funds deposited therein in an interest-bearing account, the account shall be an Eligible Account and (A) such funds shall not be invested except in Permitted Investments, and (B) all interest earned or accrued thereon shall be for the account of and be retained by Lender or such loan servicer.

55


 

     (ii) Funds deposited in the Holdback Reserve Account shall earn interest for the benefit of Borrower at a money market or comparable rate of interest. In no event shall Lender or any loan servicer that at any time holds or maintains the Replacement Reserve Account be required to select any particular account or credit funds therein at the highest money market or comparable rate of interest, provided that selection of the account and the rate of interest credited to Borrower on funds deposited therein shall be consistent with the general standards at the time being utilized by Lender or the loan servicer, as applicable, in establishing similar accounts for loans of comparable type. Interest credited to Borrower hereunder shall be and become part of the Holdback Reserve Account and shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 9.11 below; provided, however, that Lender may, at its election, retain any such interest for its own account during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. Borrower agrees that it shall include all interest to which it is entitled under the terms hereof on Holdback Reserve Funds as the income of Borrower (and, if Borrower is a partnership or other pass-through entity, the partners, members or beneficiaries of Borrower, as the case may be), and shall be the owner of the Holdback Reserve Funds for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes, except to the extent that Lender retains any interest for its own account during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default as provided herein.
     (b) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in, and assigns and pledges to Lender, each of the Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 9.8 are intended to give Lender or any subsequent holder of the Loan “control” of the Reserve Accounts within the meaning of the UCC.
     (c) The Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Lender, which shall hold the Reserve Accounts and any or all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal from the Reserve Accounts or any other right or power with respect to the Reserve Accounts or any or all of the Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
     (d) Lender shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Borrower, without charge, an annual accounting of each Reserve Account in the normal format of Lender or its loan servicer, showing credits and debits to such Reserve Account and the purpose for which each debit to each Reserve Account was made.
     (e) As long as no Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall make disbursements from the Reserve Accounts in accordance with this Agreement. All such disbursements shall be deemed to have been expressly pre-authorized by Borrower, and shall not be deemed to constitute the exercise by Lender of any remedies against Borrower unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lender has expressly stated in writing its intent to proceed to

56


 

exercise its remedies as a secured party, pledgee or lienholder with respect to the Reserve Accounts.
     (f) If any Event of Default occurs, Borrower shall immediately lose all of its rights to receive disbursements from the Reserve Accounts until the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which such Event of Default is cured to Lender’s satisfaction, or (ii) the payment in full of the Debt. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may exercise any or all of its rights and remedies as a secured party, pledgee and lienholder with respect to the Reserve Accounts. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon any Event of Default, Lender may use and disburse the Reserve Funds (or any portion thereof) for any of the following purposes: (A) repayment of the Debt, including, but not limited to, principal prepayments and the prepayment premium applicable to such full or partial prepayment (as applicable); (B) reimbursement of Lender for all losses, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default; (C) payment of any amount expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents; (D) payment of any item from any of the Reserve Accounts as required or permitted under this Agreement; or (E) any other purpose permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that any such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Without limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to the Reserve Funds and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of a statutory banker’s lien. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Reserve Funds to effect a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt, or in any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any way prejudice or affect Lender’s right to initiate and complete a foreclosure under the Mortgage.
     (g) The Reserve Funds shall not constitute escrow or trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Lender may commingle in one or more Eligible Accounts any and all funds controlled by Lender, including, without limitation, funds pledged in favor of Lender by other borrowers, whether for the same purposes as the Reserve Accounts or otherwise. Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Reserve Accounts may be established and held in such name or names as Lender or its loan servicer, as agent for Lender, shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, in the name of Lender or such loan servicer as agent for Lender. In the case of any Reserve Account which is held in a commingled account, Lender or its loan servicer, as applicable, shall maintain records sufficient to enable it to determine at all times which portion of such account is related to the Loan. The Reserve Accounts are solely for the protection of Lender. With respect to the Reserve Accounts, Lender shall have no responsibility beyond the allowance of due credit for the sums actually received by Lender or beyond the reimbursement or payment of the costs and expenses for which such accounts were established in accordance with their terms. Upon assignment of the Loan by Lender, any Reserve Funds shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Lender as assignor shall terminate.

     (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 15.1 to the contrary and until the date on which Borrower delivers to Lender the DCAS Tenant Satisfactory Estoppel Letter and the Garage Tenant Satisfactory Estoppel Letter:
     (i) Borrower Principal hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender the timely performance of the obligations of Borrower to construct the Improvement pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the DCAS Lease and the Garage Lease, free and clear of any mechanic’s liens, materialman’s liens and equitable liens or any other Liens and in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and the Loan Documents (such obligations being referred to herein as the “Guaranteed Performance Obligations”).
     (ii) In the event that the Guaranteed Performance obligations are not completed, the Borrower Principal hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Lender the punctual payment when due, and not merely the collectability, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity, or otherwise, and at all times thereafter of all costs and expenses associated with completing the Guaranteed Performance Obligations (the “Guaranteed Payment Obligations” and, together with the Guaranteed Performance Obligations the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The obligation of the Borrower Principal pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be reduced only to the extent of payments of cash to Lender by the Borrower Principal made pursuant to this Section 15.1(c) after Lender has made a demand for such payments pursuant hereto and such obligation of the Guarantor pursuant to this clause (ii) shall not be reduced as a result of the realization by Lender of any proceeds as a result of the exercise of any of its remedies under any other Loan Documents. If any of such Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower are not complied with, in any respect whatsoever, and without the necessity of any notice from Lender to Borrower Principal, Borrower Principal agrees to (a) assume all responsibility for the completion of the Guaranteed Obligations and, at Borrower Principal’s own cost and expense, cause the Guaranteed Obligations to be fully completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the DCAS Lease and the Garage Lease, as the case may be; (b) pay all bills in connection with the construction of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (c) indemnify and hold Lender harmless from any and all loss, cost, liability or expense that Lender may suffer by any reason of any such noncompliance, but not to exceed an amount equal to the cost to complete the Guaranteed Obligations and associated enforcement costs. If after the occurrence of an Event of Default or Borrower’s failure to complete the Guaranteed Obligations as required pursuant to the DCAS Lease and the Garage Lease, and without limiting Lender’s rights and remedies, Lender, in its sole discretion, is dissatisfied with the progress of construction by Borrower and/or Borrower Principal, Lender may, at its option, without notice to Borrower Principal or anyone else, complete the Guaranteed Obligations either before or after commencement of foreclosure proceedings or before or after exercise of any other right or remedy of Lender against Borrower or Borrower Principal, with such changes or modifications in the plans and specifications that Lender deems necessary and expend such sums as Lender, in its discretion, deems necessary or advisable to complete the Guaranteed Obligations, and Borrower Principal hereby waives any right to contest any such necessary expenditures. The amount of any and all expenditures made by Lender for the foregoing purposes shall bear interest from the date made until repaid to

     Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate provided for in the Note and, together with such interest, shall be due and payable by Borrower Principal to Lender upon demand.

     Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

     Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that in accepting this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, Lender is expressly and primarily relying on the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement

79


 

without any obligation to investigate the Property and notwithstanding any investigation of the Property by Lender; that such reliance existed on the part of Lender prior to the date hereof, that the warranties and representations are a material inducement to Lender in making the Loan; and that Lender would not be willing to make the Loan and accept this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents in the absence of the warranties and representations as set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement.
     Section 20.8 Publicity.
     All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan, Lender, Banc of America Securities LLC, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld. Lender shall be permitted to make any news, releases, publicity or advertising by Lender or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan, the Property, Borrower, Borrower Principal and their respective Affiliates without the approval of Borrower or any such Persons. Borrower also agrees that Lender may share any information pertaining to the Loan with Bank of America Corporation, including its bank subsidiaries, Banc of America Securities LLC and any other Affiliates of the foregoing, in connection with the sale or transfer of the Loan or any Participations and/or Securities created.
     Section 20.9 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance.
     In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

CONSOLIDATED, AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE
     FOR VALUE RECEIVED Borrower, having its principal place of business at c/o Acadia Realty Trust, 1311 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 260, White Plains, New York 10605, hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association, having an address at 214 North Tryon Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28255 (“Lender”), the Original Principal Amount, in lawful money of the United States of America with interest thereon to be computed from the date of this Note at the Note Rate, and to be paid in accordance with the terms set forth below. The Loan Terms Table set forth above is a part of this Note and all terms used in this Note which are defined in the Loan Terms Table shall have the meaning set forth therein. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in that certain Loan Agreement dated the date hereof between Lender and Borrower (the “Loan Agreement”).
Article 1 -Payment Terms; Manner Of Payment
     (a) Borrower hereby agrees to pay sums due under this Note as follows: an initial payment is due on the Closing Date for interest from the Closing Date through and including the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs; and thereafter consecutive monthly installments of interest only in an amount calculated in accordance with Article 2 below (such amount, the “Monthly Payment Amount”) shall be payable pursuant to the terms hereof on the first (1st) day of each month beginning on November 1, 2007 (each such date through and including the Maturity Date, a “Scheduled Payment Date”) until the entire indebtedness evidenced hereby is fully paid, except that any remaining indebtedness, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
     (b) Intentionally Omitted.
     (c) Each payment by Borrower hereunder shall be made to P.O. Box 65585, Charlotte, NC 28265-0585, or at such other place as Lender may designate from time to time in writing. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day preceding such scheduled due date. All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoff, defense or counterclaims.

 


 

     (d) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all monthly payments made as scheduled on this Note shall be applied to the payment of interest computed at the Note Rate. All voluntary and involuntary prepayments on this Note shall be applied, to the extent thereof, to accrued but unpaid interest on the amount prepaid, to the remaining Principal Amount, and any other sums due and unpaid to the Lender in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including, but not limited to, application to principal installments in inverse order of maturity. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, any payment made on this Note shall be applied to accrued but unpaid interest, late charges, accrued fees, the unpaid principal amount of this Note, and any other sums due and unpaid to Lender in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion.
     (e) Remittances in payment of any part of the indebtedness other than in the required amount in immediately available U.S. funds shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by the holder hereof in immediately available U.S. funds and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practices of the collecting bank or banks.
Article 2 — Interest
     The Loan shall bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to the Note Rate. Interest shall be computed and shall accrue based on the daily rate produced assuming a three hundred sixty (360) day year, multiplied by the actual number of days elapsed. Borrower understands and acknowledges that such interest computation results in more interest than if either a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year or the actual number of days and a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year were used. Except as otherwise set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, interest shall be paid in arrears.
Article 3 — Default And Acceleration
     The Debt shall without notice become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender if any payment required in this Note is not paid prior to the fifth day following the date when due or if not paid on the Maturity Date or on the happening of any other Event of Default.
Article 4 -Payments After Default
     Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, or (b) four percent (4%) above the Note Rate (such rate, the “Default Rate”). Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (i) the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due) and (ii) the cure of such Event of Default. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Mortgage. This Article shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the

- 2 -


 

occurrence of any Event of Default; the acceptance of any payment from Borrower shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights under this Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening of and during the continuance any Event of Default, despite any payment by Borrower to Lender.
Article 5 — Prepayment; Defeasance
     Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Article 5, no voluntary prepayments, whether in whole or in part, of the Loan or any other amount at any time due and owing under this Note can be made by Borrower or any other Person without the express written consent of Lender.
     (a) Lockout Period. Borrower shall have no right to make, and Lender shall have no obligation to accept, any voluntary prepayment, whether in whole or in part, of the Loan, or any other amount under this Note or the other Loan Documents, at any time during the Lockout Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either (i) Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, accepts a full or partial voluntary prepayment during the Lockout Period or (ii) there is an involuntary prepayment during the Lockout Period, then, in either case, Borrower shall, in addition to any portion of the Loan prepaid (together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon), pay to Lender a prepayment premium in an amount calculated in accordance with Section 5(c) below.
     (b) Defeasance.
     (i) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Article 5 to the contrary, including, without limitation, subsection (a) of this Article 5, at any time other than during a REMIC Prohibition Period (defined below) or at any time after expiration of the three-year period commencing on the date hereof, Borrower may cause the release of the Property from the lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:
     (A) no Default shall exist under any of the Loan Documents;
     (B) not less than sixty (60) (but not more than ninety (90)) days prior written notice shall be given to Lender specifying a date on which the Defeasance Collateral (as hereinafter defined) is to be delivered (the “Release Date”), such date being on a Scheduled Payment Date; provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right (i) to cancel such notice by providing Lender with notice of cancellation ten (10) days prior to the scheduled Release Date, or (ii) to extend the scheduled Release Date until the next Scheduled Payment Date; provided that in each case, Borrower shall pay all of Lender’s costs and expenses incurred as a result of such cancellation or extension;
     (C) all accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums due under this Note and under the other Loan Documents up to the Release Date, including, without limitation, all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lender and its agents in connection with such release (including, without limitation, legal fees and

- 3 -


 

expenses for the review and preparation of the Defeasance Security Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and of the other materials described in Section 5(b)(i)(D) below and any related documentation, and any servicing fees, Rating Agency fees or other costs related to such release), shall be paid in full on or prior to the Release Date;
     (D) Borrower shall deliver to Lender on or prior to the Release Date:
     (1) a pledge and security agreement, in form and substance which would be satisfactory to a prudent lender, creating a first priority security interest in favor of Lender in the Defeasance Collateral, as defined herein (the “Defeasance Security Agreement”), which shall provide, among other things, that any excess amounts received by Lender from the Defeasance Collateral over the amounts payable by Borrower on a given Scheduled Payment Date, which excess amounts are not required to cover all or any portion of amounts payable on a future Scheduled Payment Date, shall be refunded to Borrower promptly after each such Scheduled Payment Date;
     (2) Direct non-callable obligations of the United States of America or, to the extent acceptable to the applicable Rating Agencies, other obligations which are “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 that provide for payments on or prior to (but in no event later than) all successive Scheduled Payment Dates occurring after the Release Date up to and including the Monthly Payment Date which is four (4) months prior to the Maturity Date, the Maturity Date or any Monthly Payment Date between such dates, with each such payment being equal to or greater than the amount of the corresponding Monthly Payment Amount required to be paid under this Note (including all amounts due on the Maturity Date) (the “Defeasance Collateral”), each of which shall be duly endorsed by the holder thereof as directed by Lender or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and substance which would be satisfactory to a prudent lender (including, without limitation, such certificates, documents and instruments as may be required by the depository institution holding such securities or the issuer thereof, as the case may be, to effectuate book-entry transfers and pledges through the book-entry facilities of such institution) in order to perfect upon the delivery of the Defeasance Security Agreement the first priority security interest therein in favor of Lender in conformity with all applicable state and federal laws governing granting of such security interests;
     (3) a certificate of Borrower certifying that all of the requirements set forth in this Section 5(b)(i) have been satisfied;
     (4) one or more opinions of counsel for Borrower in form and substance and delivered by counsel which would be satisfactory to a prudent lender stating, among other things, that (a) Lender has a perfected

- 4 -


 

first priority security interest in the Defeasance Collateral and that the Defeasance Security Agreement is enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, (b) in the event of a bankruptcy proceeding or similar occurrence with respect to Borrower, none of the Defeasance Collateral nor any proceeds thereof will be property of Borrower’s estate under Section 541 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any similar statute and the grant of security interest therein to Lender shall not constitute an avoidable preference under Section 547 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or applicable state law, (c) the release of the lien of the Mortgage and the pledge of Defeasance Collateral will not directly or indirectly result in or cause any “real estate mortgage investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code that holds this Note (a “REMIC Trust”) to fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust and (d) the defeasance will not cause any REMIC Trust to be an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940;
     (5) a certificate in form and scope which would be satisfactory to a prudent lender from an independent certified public accountant acceptable to Lender certifying that the Defeasance Collateral will generate amounts sufficient to make all payments of principal and interest due under this Note (including the scheduled outstanding principal balance of the Loan due on the Maturity Date) up to and including the Monthly Payment Date which is four (4) months prior to the Maturity Date, the Maturity Date or any Monthly Payment Date between such dates; and
     (6) such other certificates, documents and instruments as a prudent lender would require; and
     (7) in the event the Loan is held by a REMIC Trust, Lender has received written confirmation from any Rating Agency rating any Securities that substitution of the Defeasance Collateral will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal, or qualification of the ratings then assigned to any of the Securities.
     (ii) Upon compliance with the requirements of Section 5(b)(i), the Property shall be released from the lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and the Defeasance Collateral shall constitute collateral which shall secure this Note and all other obligations under the Loan Documents. Lender will, at Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver any agreements reasonably requested by Borrower to release the lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents from the Property.
     (iii) Upon the release of the Property in accordance with this Section 5(b), Borrower (at Lender’s sole and absolute discretion) shall (x) establish or designate a successor entity, which shall be approved by the Rating Agencies (“Successor Borrower”) and (y) assign all its obligations and rights under this Note, together with the pledged Defeasance Collateral, to Successor Borrower. Successor Borrower shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance which would be satisfactory to a prudent lender pursuant to which it shall assume Borrower’s obligations

- 5 -


 

under this Note and the Defeasance Security Agreement. As conditions to such assignment and assumption, Borrower shall (A) deliver to Lender one or more opinions of counsel in form and substance and delivered by counsel which would be satisfactory to a prudent lender stating, among other things, that such assignment and assumption agreement is enforceable against Borrower and the Successor Borrower in accordance with its terms and that this Note, the Defeasance Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as so assigned and assumed, are enforceable against the Successor Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, and opining to such other matters relating to Successor Borrower and its organizational structure as Lender may require, and (B) pay all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lender or its agents in connection with such assignment and assumption (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses and for the review of the proposed transferee and the preparation of the assignment and assumption agreement and related certificates, documents and instruments and any fees payable to any Rating Agencies and their counsel in connection with the issuance of the confirmation referred to above). Upon such assignment and assumption, Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder, under this Note, under the other Loan Documents and under the Defeasance Security Agreement, except as expressly set forth in the assignment and assumption agreement.
     (iv) For purposes of this Article 5, “REMIC Prohibition Period” means the two-year period commencing with the “startup day” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code of any REMIC Trust that holds this Note. In no event shall Lender have any obligation to notify Borrower that a REMIC Prohibition Period is in effect with respect to the Loan, except that Lender shall notify Borrower if any REMIC Prohibition Period is in effect with respect to the Loan after receiving any notice described in Section 5(b)(i)(B); provided, however, that the failure of Lender to so notify Borrower shall not impose any liability upon Lender or grant Borrower any right to defease the Loan during any such REMIC Prohibition Period.
     (c) Involuntary Prepayment During the Lockout Period. During the Lockout Period, in the event of any involuntary prepayment of the Loan or any other amount under this Note, whether in whole or in part, in connection with or following Lender’s acceleration of this Note or otherwise, and whether the Mortgage is satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of sale or judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means, including, without limitation, repayment of the Loan by Borrower or any other Person pursuant to any statutory or common law right of redemption, Borrower shall, in addition to any portion of the principal balance of the Loan prepaid (together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and in the event the prepayment is made on a date other than a Scheduled Payment Date, a sum equal to the amount of interest which would have accrued under this Note on the amount of such prepayment if such prepayment had occurred on the next Scheduled Payment Date), pay to Lender a prepayment premium in an amount equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the portion of the Loan being prepaid, and (ii) the present value as of the Prepayment Calculation Date of a series of monthly payments over the remaining term of the Loan each equal to the amount of interest which would be due on the portion of the Loan being prepaid assuming a per annum interest rate equal to the excess of the Note Rate over the Reinvestment Yield, and discounted at the Reinvestment Yield. As used herein, “Reinvestment Yield” means the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields, as reported in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15-Selected Interest Rates

- 6 -


 

under the heading “U.S. government securities” and the sub-heading “Treasury constant maturities” for the week ending prior to the Prepayment Calculation Date, of the U.S. Treasury constant maturities with maturity dates (one longer and one equal to or shorter) most nearly approximating the Maturity Date, and converted to a monthly compounded nominal yield. In the event Release H.15 is no longer published, Lender shall select a comparable publication to determine the Reinvestment Yield. The “Prepayment Calculation Date” shall mean, as applicable, the date on which (i) Lender applies any prepayment to the reduction of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, (ii) Lender accelerates the Loan, in the case of a prepayment resulting from acceleration, or (iii) Lender applies funds held under any Reserve Account, in the case of a prepayment resulting from such an application (other than in connection with acceleration of the Loan).
     (d) Insurance Proceeds and Awards; Excess Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, and provided no Default exists, Borrower shall not be required to pay any prepayment premium in connection with any prepayment occurring solely as a result of (i) the application of Insurance Proceeds or Awards pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, or (ii) the application of any interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law to the reduction of the Loan.
     (e) After the Lockout Period. Commencing on the day the Lockout Period ends, and upon giving Lender at least sixty (60) days (but not more than ninety (90) days) prior written notice, Borrower may voluntarily prepay (without premium) this Note in whole (but not in part) on a Scheduled Payment Date. Lender shall accept a prepayment pursuant to this Section 5(e) on a day other than a Scheduled Payment Date provided that, in addition to payment of the full outstanding principal balance of this Note, Borrower pays to Lender a sum equal to the amount of interest which would have accrued on this Note if such prepayment occurred on the next Scheduled Payment Date.
     (f) Limitation on Partial Prepayments. In no event shall Lender have any obligation to accept a partial prepayment.
Article 6 — Security
     This Note is secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. All of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are hereby made part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force as if they were fully set forth herein.
Article 7 — Usury Savings
     This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note and as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents, under the laws of such state or states whose laws are held by any court of competent jurisdiction to govern the interest rate provisions of the Loan (such rate, the “Maximum Legal Rate”). If, by the terms of this Note or the other Loan

- 7 -


 

Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Note Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Article 8 — Late Payment Charge
     If any principal or interest payment is not paid by Borrower before the fifth (5th) day after the date the same is due (or such greater period, if any, required by applicable law), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Article 9 -No Oral Change
     This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.
Article 10 -Waivers
     Borrower and all others who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of the Debt do hereby severally waive presentment and demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest and notice of protest and non-payment and all other notices of any kind except as provided in the Loan Agreement. No release of any security for the Debt or extension of time for payment of this Note or any installment hereof, and no alteration, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents made by agreement between Lender or any other Person shall release, modify, amend, waive, extend, change, discharge, terminate or affect the liability of Borrower, and any other Person who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of the Debt, under this Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. No notice to or demand on Borrower shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation of Borrower or of the right of Lender to take further action without further notice or demand as provided for in this Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If Borrower is a limited liability company, the agreements herein contained shall remain in force and be applicable, notwithstanding any changes in the individuals comprising the limited liability company, and the term “Borrower,” as used herein, shall include any alternate or successor limited liability company, but any predecessor limited liability company and its members shall not thereby be released from any liability. If Borrower is a partnership, the agreements herein contained shall remain in force and

- 8 -


 

be applicable, notwithstanding any changes in the individuals comprising the partnership, and the term “Borrower,” as used herein, shall include any alternate or successor partnership, but any predecessor partnership and their partners shall not thereby be released from any liability. If Borrower is a corporation, the agreements contained herein shall remain in full force and be applicable notwithstanding any changes in the shareholders comprising, or the officers and directors relating to, the corporation, and the term “Borrower” as used herein, shall include any alternative or successor corporation, but any predecessor corporation shall not be relieved of liability hereunder. (Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall be construed as a consent to, or a waiver of, any prohibition or restriction on transfers of interests in such borrowing entity which may be set forth in the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or any other Loan Documents.) If Borrower consists of more than one person or party, the obligations and liabilities of each person or party shall be joint and several.
Article 11 — Trial By Jury
     BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THIS NOTE, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH OF LENDER AND BORROWER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER AND LENDER.
Article 12 — Transfer
     Upon the transfer of this Note, Borrower hereby waiving notice of any such transfer, Lender may deliver all the collateral mortgaged, granted, pledged or assigned pursuant to the Loan Documents, or any part thereof, to the transferee who shall thereupon become vested with all the rights herein or under applicable law given to Lender with respect thereto, and Lender shall thereafter forever be relieved and fully discharged from any liability or responsibility in the matter arising from events thereafter occurring; but Lender shall retain all rights hereby given to it with respect to any liabilities and the collateral not so transferred.
Article 13 — Exculpation
     The provisions of Article 15 of the Loan Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this Note to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein.
Article 14 — Governing Law
     This Note shall be governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Property is located and applicable federal laws of the United States of America.

If such number is not available at the time of execution of this Note or is not inserted by the Borrower, the Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the Lender to fill in such number on the first page of this Note when the Borrower provides to Lender, advises the Lender of, or the Lender otherwise obtains, such number.
Article 17 — Consolidated, Amended and Restated Promissory Note
     This Note evidences the new and additional indebtedness of $6,300,000.00 recited in the Mortgage as being secured thereby and also the existing indebtedness of $19,200,000.00 remaining unpaid on, and heretofore evidenced by, the bond(s), note(s), or obligations secured by those certain mortgages contemporaneously assigned to Lender; it being the intention of this Note that it shall constitute both a renewal, extension and modification of the terms of payment of such existing indebtedness and also an expression of the terms of payment of such new and additional indebtedness and shall restate the terms of such bonds, notes or obligations in their entirety.
