Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On September 29, 2011, Victoria Ward, Limited; Victoria Ward Center L.L.C.; Victoria Ward Entertainment Center, L.L.C.; Ward Plaza-Warehouse, LLC; and Ward Gateway-Industrial-Village, LLC (collectively, “Victoria Ward”) entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as contractual representative and administrative agent, Wells Fargo Securities, L.L.C., as the sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner and the other lending institutions party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”). The entities comprising Victoria Ward are all wholly-owned, indirect subsidiaries of The Howard Hughes Corporation (the “Company”).
     The Loan Agreement provides for a five-year credit facility with a maturity date of September 29, 2016 under which Victoria Ward may borrow up to $250.0 million. The initial proceeds under the Loan Agreement will be used to pay closing costs and pay off approximately $209.5 million of debt outstanding under: (1) the loan agreement dated as of November 10, 2004 by and among Victoria Ward Center L.L.C., Victoria Ward Entertainment Center L.L.C. and Bank of America, N.A; (2) the loan agreement dated as of September 29, 2006 by and between Ward Gateway-Industrial-Village, LLC and Bank of America, N.A.; and (3) the loan agreement dated as of September 29, 2006 by and between Ward Plaza-Warehouse, LLC and PB (USA) Realty Corporation, which expire between January 1, 2014 and October 5, 2016. The remaining proceeds from the Loan Agreement will be used primarily for capital expenditures and leasing costs. The Victoria Ward entities have pledged real property comprising the development known as Ward Centers as collateral for the loan.
     Borrowings under the Loan Agreement bear interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.5% and payments are interest only. On September 30, 2011, Victoria Ward also entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association to effectively set the interest rate with respect to a notional amount of $143.0 million of the borrowings under the Loan Agreement at a 3.80% fixed rate. The interest rate swap has an effective date of October 3, 2011 and a maturity date of September 30, 2016. Notwithstanding the terms of the interest rate swap, Victoria Ward is ultimately obligated for the interest and principal due and payable under the Loan Agreement.
     The Loan Agreement contains a number of customary covenants, including compliance with various financial ratios and tests, and certain covenants that restrict, among other things, Victoria Ward’s ability to incur debt; incur liens; transfer properties; merge or consolidate with other companies and make certain acquisitions.
     The Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default certain of which are subject to cure periods. The events of default include, among others things, nonpayment of principal, interest or fees; breach of the representations or warranties in any material respect; breach of the financial, affirmative or negative covenants; payment default on, or accelerations of, other material indebtedness; bankruptcy or insolvency; material judgments entered against Victoria Ward; certain changes in control of Victoria Ward; and the invalidity or unenforceability of the Loan Agreement or other documents associated with the Loan Agreement.
     The Loan Agreement further requires that the Company provide certain guaranties and indemnities in favor of the Lenders, including a limited guaranty of certain recourse carve-out items, a completion guaranty and a hazardous materials indemnity agreement.
     The descriptions of the Loan Agreement are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Loan Agreement. A copy of the Loan Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

ARTICLE 2. LOAN
     2.1 LOAN.
     (a) Initial Facility Amount; Initial Advance. By and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Lenders agree to lend to Borrower, and Borrower agrees to borrow from Lenders, the principal sum of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($250,000,000.00), said sum to be evidenced by the Notes. The Notes shall be secured, in part, by the Mortgage encumbering certain real property and improvements as legally defined therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any principal payments made by Borrower under the Loan shall reduce Lenders’ Commitment by a like amount, and any such amounts repaid by Borrower may not be reborrowed. Advances under the Loan shall initially be limited to the Initial Facility Amount (which amount is comprised of the Initial Advance and the Unfunded Initial Facility). The Initial Advance disbursed to or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to the Notes shall be used to refinance the existing indebtedness on the Property and pay all closing costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Loan. Any remaining Unfunded Initial Facility shall only be disbursed from time to time on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement to pay for the cost of Additional Improvements, including without limitation, the cost of Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions incurred or payable under Approved Leases and any hard or soft redevelopment costs incurred in connection with the Property and the Additional Improvements. In addition, Borrower may use the Unfunded Initial Facility to distribute to its partners or members sums of money to reimburse such partners or members for funds that were advanced (and reasonable capital costs associated therewith) by such partners or members to fund costs incurred after the Effective Date to complete construction of Additional Improvements, including without limitation, the cost of any Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions incurred by Borrower from time to time under Approved Leases with respect thereto. Portions of the Unfunded Initial Facility shall be advanced from time to time to Borrower in installments within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by Administrative Agent of an Application for Payment and satisfaction of the conditions provided in Section 3.2 below with respect to the requested Advance.
     (b) Earnout Holdback; Subsequent Advances. The funding of the Earnout Holdback shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Earnout Holdback shall only be used by Borrower to (i) pay for the cost of any Additional Improvements, including without limitation, the cost of Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions incurred or payable under Approved Leases and other hard or soft redevelopment costs incurred in connection with capital improvements to the Property, (ii) any redevelopment costs incurred in connection with the Property and (iii) reimburse Borrower for capital expenditures incurred by Borrower from and after November 9, 2010 in connection with the development and/or improvement of the Property. Portions of the Earnout Holdback shall be advanced from time to time to Borrower in installments within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by Administrative Agent of a request for an Advance demonstrating the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.3 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, subject to Section 3.3 hereof, the WVRS Holdback shall only be available for disbursement to Borrower from the Earnout Holdback to pay for Tenant

15


 

Improvements and Leasing Commissions incurred in connection with or pursuant to Approved Leases covering portions of the Ward Village Retail Shops, and such amount may not be disbursed for any other purpose without Administrative Agent’s approval in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. The amount of each Advance for which Borrower is eligible from the Earnout Holdback shall be based on the Debt Yield from the Collateral Pool as of any Determination Date, and shall be determined as set forth in Section 3.3(e).
     2.2 LOAN FEES. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, at Loan closing, a loan fee as set forth in separate letter agreements between Borrower and Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent and Lenders. Additionally, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the sole benefit of Administrative Agent, certain other fees, each in the amount and at the times as set forth in a separate letter agreement between Borrower and Administrative Agent dated July 19, 2011 (the “Fee Letter”).
     2.3 LOAN DOCUMENTS. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent (or cause to be executed and delivered) concurrently with this Agreement each of the documents, properly executed and in recordable form, as applicable, described in Exhibit B as Loan Documents, together with those documents described in Exhibit B as Other Related Documents.
     2.4 EFFECTIVE DATE. The date of the Loan Documents is for reference purposes only. The Effective Date of the Loan Documents shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1.1.
     2.5 MATURITY DATE. The maturity date of the Loan shall be on the Maturity Date, at which time all sums due and owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be repaid in full. All payments due to Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Agreement, whether at the Maturity Date or otherwise, shall be paid in Dollars in immediately available funds.
     2.6 INTEREST ON THE LOAN.
     (a) Interest Payments. Accrued but unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan through the prior month’s end shall be due and payable, in the manner provided in Section 2.7, on the eleventh (11th) day of each month (the “Due Date”) commencing with the first month after the Effective Date.
     (b) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in Sections 2.6(e) below and the payment dates specified in Section 2.6(a), at Requisite Lenders discretion at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, the principal balance of the Loan then outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loan not paid when due, shall bear interest payable upon demand at the Default Rate. All other amounts due Administrative Agent or Lenders (whether directly or for reimbursement) under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents if not paid when due, or if no time period is expressed, if not paid within ten (10) days after demand, shall likewise, at the option of Requisite Lenders, bear interest from and after demand at the Default Rate.
     (c) Late Fee. Borrower acknowledges that late payment to Administrative Agent will cause Administrative Agent and Lenders to incur costs not contemplated by this Agreement. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges. Therefore, if Borrower fails timely to pay any sum due and payable hereunder through the Maturity Date (other than payment of the entire outstanding balance of the Loan on the Maturity Date), unless waived by Administrative Agent, a late charge of four cents ($.04) for each dollar of any such principal payment, interest or other charge due hereon and which is not paid within fifteen (15) days after such payment is due, shall be charged by Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Lenders) and paid by Borrower for the purpose of defraying the expense incident to handling such delinquent payment. Borrower and Administrative Agent agree that this late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date hereof and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Administrative Agent and Lenders will incur by reason of late payment. Borrower and Administrative Agent further agree that proof of actual damages would be costly and inconvenient. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of

16


 

the default with respect to the overdue installment, and shall not prevent Administrative Agent from exercising any of the other rights available hereunder or any other Loan Document. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to any other rights of Administrative Agent.
     (d) Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest or fees accrue and a year of three hundred sixty (360) days on the principal balance of the Loan outstanding from time to time. In computing interest on the Loan, the date of the making of a disbursement under the Loan shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.6, interest in respect of the Loan shall not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate.
     (e) Effective Rate. The “Effective Rate” upon which interest shall be calculated for the Loan shall, from and after the Effective Date of this Agreement, be one or more of the following:
  (i)   Provided no Default exists under this Agreement:
  (A)   Initial Advance; Subsequent Advances During Any Calendar Month. For the Initial Advance of principal under this Agreement, and for any subsequent Advances of principal during any calendar month which are not made on a Due Date, the Effective Rate on such principal amount shall be the Variable Rate on the date of disbursement as determined by Administrative Agent. Such Effective Rate shall apply to such principal amount from the date of disbursement through and including the date immediately preceding the first (1st) Business Day of the next calendar month.
 
  (B)   Monthly Reset of One-Month LIBO Rate. On the first (1st) Business Day of a calendar month, any principal outstanding under the Notes and which is not a Variable Rate Portion shall be the One-Month LIBO Rate Portion for purposes of calculation of the Effective Rate under this section. Commencing with the first (1st) Business Day of the first (1st) calendar month after the Initial Advance of principal under this Agreement, and continuing thereafter on the first (1st) Business Day of each succeeding calendar month, the Effective Rate on the outstanding One-Month LIBO Rate Portion under the Loan (i.e., all outstanding principal on such first (1st) Business Day which is not a Variable Rate Portion) shall be reset to the One-Month LIBO Rate, as determined by Administrative Agent on each such first (1st) Business Day.
 
  (C)   Selection of Variable Rate. With respect to any Advance under this Agreement that bears interest at the Variable Rate, if Borrower desires to have such portion of the Loan continue to bear interest at the Variable Rate after the date of an Advance, or if Borrower otherwise desires to have any portion of the Loan bear interest at the Variable Rate at any other time, then Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A, Minneapolis Loan Center, 608 2nd Avenue South, 11th Floor, MAC N9303-10, Minneapolis, MN 55402-1916, or such other addresses as Administrative Agent shall designate, an original or facsimile notice (a “Variable Rate Notice”) no later than 9:00 A.M. (California time), not less than three (3) Business Days prior to end of the calendar month, which Variable Rate Notice shall specify the amount of principal the Borrower desires to bear interest at the Variable Rate (which shall be a Variable Rate Portion). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, upon election of a Variable Rate in accordance with the foregoing, the Variable Rate Portion of the Loan shall thereafter bear interest at the Variable Rate unless and until Borrower thereafter sends

17


 

      written notice to Administrative Agent that Borrower elects to have such Variable Rate Portion bear interest at the One-Month LIBO Rate.
 
  (D)   If One-Month LIBO Rate Becomes Unavailable. In the event the One-Month LIBO Rate, for any reason, should become prohibited or unavailable to Administrative Agent, or, if in Administrative Agent’s good faith judgment, it is not possible or practical for Administrative Agent to set a One-Month LIBO Rate, THEN the Effective Rate shall be the Replacement Rate.
  (ii)   During such time as a Default exists under this Agreement; or from and after the date on which all sums owing under the Notes become due and payable by acceleration or otherwise; or from and after the date on which the Collateral or any portion thereof or interest therein, is sold, transferred, mortgaged, assigned, or encumbered, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, or by operation of law or otherwise, without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent (whether or not the sums owing under the Notes become due and payable by acceleration); or from and after the Maturity Date, then at the option of Requisite Lenders in each case, the interest rate applicable to the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be the Default Rate.
 
  (f)   One-Month LIBO Rate Taxes, Regulatory Costs and Reserve Percentages.
 
  (i)   Upon Administrative Agent’s demand, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, in addition to all other amounts which may be, or become, due and payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any and all One-Month LIBO Rate Taxes and Regulatory Costs, to the extent they are not internalized by calculation of an Effective Rate. Further, at Administrative Agent’s option, the Effective Rate shall be automatically adjusted by adjusting the Reserve Percentage, as determined by Administrative Agent in its prudent banking judgment, from the date of imposition (or subsequent date selected by Administrative Agent) of any such Regulatory Costs. Administrative Agent shall give Borrower notice of any One-Month LIBO Rate Taxes and Regulatory Costs as soon as practicable after their occurrence, but Borrower shall be liable for any One-Month LIBO Rate Taxes and Regulatory Costs regardless of whether or when notice is so given.
 
  (ii)   In the event that any Lender incurs additional costs on account of any increased Regulatory Costs, changes in the Reserve Percentage, or capital adequacy requirements pursuant to Section 15.15(a) of this Agreement, and such Lender elects to have Borrower pay or reimburse it for such additional costs, Administrative Agent shall give Borrower thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof, with a reasonably detailed estimate of the amount of such additional costs. In the event that such additional costs would result in a material increase in the cost of the Borrower’s annual debt service under the Loan (which, for purposes of this paragraph, shall be defined as an increase of 5% or more of the debt service payable by Borrower solely on account of such additional costs), Borrower shall have the right and option to prepay the Loan in full, but not in part, without prepayment premium or penalty.
     (g) One-Month LIBO Price Adjustment. Borrower acknowledges that prepayment or acceleration of a One-Month LIBO Rate Portion during a One-Month LIBO Rate Period shall result in Lenders’ incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Therefore, on the date a One-Month LIBO Rate Portion is prepaid or the date all sums payable hereunder become due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise (“Price Adjustment Date”), Borrower will pay Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender (in addition to all other

18


 

sums then owing to Lenders) an amount (“One-Month LIBO Rate Price Adjustment”) equal to the then present value of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the One-Month LIBO Rate Portion for the remainder of the One-Month LIBO Rate Period at the One-Month LIBO Rate set on the first (1st) Business Day of the month in which such amount is prepaid or becomes due, less (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same One-Month LIBO Rate Portion for the same period if the One-Month LIBO Rate were set on the Price Adjustment Date at the One-Month LIBO Rate in effect on the Price Adjustment Date. The present value shall be calculated by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, using as a discount rate the One-Month LIBO Rate quoted on the Price Adjustment Date.
     (h) Purchase, Sale and Matching of Funds. Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (a) Lenders have no obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of a One-Month LIBO Rate as a basis for calculating an Effective Rate or One-Month LIBO Rate Price Adjustment; (b) a One-Month Rate is used merely as a reference in determining an Effective Rate and One-Month LIBO Rate Price Adjustment; and (c) Borrower has accepted a One-Month Rate as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating an Effective Rate and a One-Month LIBO Rate Price Adjustment. Borrower further agrees to pay the One-Month LIBO Rate Price Adjustment, One-Month LIBO Rate Taxes and Regulatory Costs, if any, whether or not any Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.
     (i) Usury. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lenders at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Notes or the Related Indebtedness (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Lenders to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law). Accordingly, if applicable law (or any judicial interpretation thereof) renders usurious any amount (i) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received pursuant to the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Lenders related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, (ii) contracted for, charged or received by reason of Lenders’ exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Notes and/or the Related Indebtedness, or (iii) Borrower will have paid or Lenders will have received by reason of any voluntary prepayment by Borrower of the Notes and/or the Related Indebtedness, then it is Borrower’s and Lenders’ express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be automatically cancelled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Lenders shall be credited on the principal balance of the Notes and/or the Related Indebtedness (or, if the Notes and all Related Indebtedness have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, the provisions of the Notes and the other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if the Notes have been paid in full before the end of the stated term of the Notes, then Borrower and Lenders agree that Lenders shall either refund such excess interest to Borrower and/or credit such excess interest against the Notes and/or any Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lenders. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lenders, Borrower will provide written notice to Lenders, advising Lenders in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lenders shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Notes and/or the Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lenders. All sums contracted for, charged or received by Lenders for the use, forbearance or detention of any debt evidenced by the Notes and/or the Related Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of the Notes and/or the Related Indebtedness (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Notes and/or the Related

19


 

Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Notes and/or the Related Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Notes and/or the Related Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lenders to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, Borrower and Lenders hereby agree that any and all suits alleging the contracting for, charging or receiving of usurious interest shall lie in Dallas County, Texas, and each irrevocably waive the right to venue in any other county. To the extent that Lenders are relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code to determine the Maximum Lawful Rate payable on the Notes and/or the Related Indebtedness, Lenders will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 303, as amended. To the extent United States federal law permits Lenders to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, Lenders will rely on United States federal law instead of such Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Maximum Lawful Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lenders may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Lawful Rate under such Chapter 303 or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.

     (a) Manner and Time of Payment. All payments of principal, interest and fees hereunder payable to Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall be made without condition or reservation of right and free of set-off or counterclaim, in Dollars and by wire transfer (pursuant to Administrative Agent’s written wire transfer instructions) of immediately available funds, to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender as applicable, not later than 11:00 A.M. (San Francisco, California time) on the date due; and funds received by Administrative Agent after that time and date shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
     (b) Payments on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, payments shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder and of any fees due under this Agreement, as the case may be.
     (c) Prepayment.
  (i)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower may obtain a Qualified Redevelopment Release at any time after the Effective Date, provided that all conditions to a Property Release are otherwise satisfied, including without limitation, Borrower’s payment to Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, of the applicable Release Price in connection with such Qualified Redevelopment Release. Except for Qualified Redevelopment Releases (and the payment of the applicable Release Price in connection therewith), Borrower may not prepay any portion of the Loan prior to July 31, 2013 (the “Prepayment Lockout Expiration Date”). Further, except for prepayments of a part of the outstanding indebtedness of the Loan in connection with (i) a Qualified Redevelopment Release or (ii) the sale or refinancing of a Non-Key Property or a Redevelopment Property and the related Property Release after the Prepayment Lockout Expiration Date, Borrower shall not have the right to make partial prepayments of the outstanding principal of the Loan; provided, further, that in connection with any sale or refinancing of a Non-Key Property or a Redevelopment Property, Borrower shall pay the applicable Prepayment Premium provided herein. After the Prepayment Lockout Expiration

20


 

      Date, Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal of the Loan attributable to a Non-Key Property or Redevelopment Property, as the case may be, in full or in part in connection with a refinancing or sale of such Non-Key Property or such Redevelopment Property in accordance with Section 2.7(c)(ii) below, but Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the outstanding principal of the Loan applicable to the Key Properties (except as expressly permitted herein in connection with a payoff of the entire indebtedness outstanding under the Loan after the Prepayment Lockout Expiration Date and the payment of the applicable Prepayment Premium).
 
  (ii)   Prepayment Premiums — Non-Key Properties and Redevelopment Properties. If the prepayment in connection with a Non-Key Property or a Redevelopment Property occurs during the period after the Prepayment Lockout Expiration Date through and including July 31, 2014, the Prepayment Premium shall be one-half percent (.5%) of the principal amount being prepaid. If the prepayment in connection with a Non-Key Property or Redevelopment Property occurs during the period from and after August 1, 2014 through and including July 31, 2015, the Prepayment Premium shall be one-quarter percent (.25%) of the principal amount being prepaid. Any prepayment in connection with a Non-Key Property or Redevelopment Property occurring after July 31, 2015 shall not be subject to any Prepayment Premium. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a prepayment in connection with a Non-Key Property or Redevelopment Property occurs in connection with the sale of such Non-Key Property or Redevelopment Property by the applicable Borrower to a third party which is not an Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor or any of their constituent entities, then (i) the Prepayment Premium for the period after the Prepayment Lockout Expiration Date through and including July 31, 2014 shall be reduced to two-tenths of one percent (.2%) of the principal amount being repaid, and (ii) the Prepayment Premium for the period from and after August 1, 2014 through and including July 31, 2015 shall be reduced to one-tenth of one percent (.1%) of the principal amount being repaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Prepayment Premium shall be due or payable in connection with a Qualified Redevelopment Release of a Non-Key Property or Redevelopment Property. Any prepayment made in connection with a Non-Key Property or Redevelopment Property shall be (i) made concurrently with the payment of the applicable Release Price for such Non-Key Property or Redevelopment Property, (ii) made in $1,000,000 increments (i.e., rounded upward to the nearest $1,000,000) and (iii) accompanied by any additional amounts required to be paid hereunder (e.g., “LIBOR breakage costs” (which term, for all purposes of this Agreement, includes any One-Month LIBO Rate Price Adjustment) termination payments under any Swap Contract and payment of the applicable Prepayment Premium).
 
  (iii)   Prepayment Premiums — Key Properties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall not be entitled to any Property Releases of any Key Properties for any reason, except that Borrower may obtain a release of a Key Property after the Prepayment Lockout Expiration Date in connection with a refinancing or sale of such Key Property, provided that all indebtedness outstanding under the Loan is repaid in full and Borrower pays the applicable Prepayment Premium in connection with such release. In the event that any Key Property is refinanced or sold to a party unrelated to Borrower or Guarantor or any of their constituent entities, the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, accrued but unpaid interest and all other sums outstanding under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable in full, the Swap Contract shall be terminated, and Borrower shall pay a Prepayment Premium as set forth in this clause (iii); provided, further, Borrower may request the swap rate provider

21


 

      or counterparty under any Swap Contract (a “Swap Rate Provider”) to transfer the Swap Contract to another loan, but any such transfer shall be subject to the Swap Rate Provider’s consent in the Swap Rate Provider’s sole and absolute discretion. If a prepayment of the Loan occurs on account of a refinancing, sale or other disposition of a Key Property, then (i) the Prepayment Premium for the period after the Prepayment Lockout Expiration Date through and including July 31, 2014 shall be eight-tenths of one percent (.8%) of the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, (ii) the Prepayment Premium for the period from and after August 1, 2014 through and including July 31, 2015 shall be four-tenths of one percent (.4%) of the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan and (iii) the Prepayment Premium for any period from and after August 1, 2015 shall be two-tenths of one percent (.2%) of the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Prepayment Premium shall be due and owing if the Loan is paid in full during the ninety (90) day period immediately preceding the Maturity Date.
 
  (iv)   Prepayment. Borrower shall give not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 A.M. (San Francisco, California time) on the date given, of Borrower’s intention to prepay all or any portion of the Loan. Any notice of prepayment given to Administrative Agent under this Section 2.7 shall specify the date of prepayment and the principal amount of the prepayment. In the event of a prepayment of any One-Month LIBO Rate Portion, Borrower shall concurrently pay any One-Month LIBO Rate Price Adjustment payable in respect thereof. Any prepayment of principal shall be accompanied by any amounts necessary to compensate or reimburse Administrative Agent and Lenders for (1) any LIBOR breakage costs, (2) any termination payments under any Swap Contract and (3) payment of the applicable Prepayment Premium set forth herein. Amounts prepaid shall be applied first to any portion of the Loan that is not subject to a Swap Contract, if any. Any principal balance reduction shall reduce Lenders’ Commitment by a like amount, and any such amounts repaid by Borrower may not be reborrowed.
 
  (v)   No Premium Required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Prepayment Premium shall be due or payable in connection with the payment of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards applied against the principal outstanding under the Loan in accordance with the Loan Documents.
2.8 COLLATERAL POOL; REMARGIN RIGHT.
     (a) Collateral Pool. In order for a Property to be included in the Collateral Pool, (i) a Property must be wholly-owned in fee simple (which ownership may include condominium ownership interests created in accordance with this Agreement) by a Borrower or Non-Borrower Mortgagor (with the beneficial interests being 100% owned by Borrower), and no Property shall be a ground lease, (ii) no subordinate debt shall be allowed on any Property, (iii) no Property shall have any restrictions on the Borrower’s ability to sell or encumber such Property (except for restrictions in the Loan Documents or as may be shown in the Permitted Liens) and (iv) Administrative Agent shall have received a current environmental and property condition report for such Property satisfactory to Administrative Agent in all respects. No Properties may be added to the Collateral Pool after the Effective Date. After the Effective Date, the Debt Yield for the Collateral Pool shall be tested on a quarterly basis, using a Determination Date as of the end of each calendar quarter. In the event the Debt Yield as of the end of any calendar quarter is less than nine percent (9.0%) or the Loan-to-Value Ratio (based on the then outstanding principal of the Loan) exceeds sixty-five percent (65%), a Cash Trap Event Period shall be deemed to have occurred as provided in Section 10.16(b) of this Agreement.
     (b) Remargin Right. Administrative Agent shall have the right to obtain new or updated Appraisals on all Property which is Collateral as of the Remargin Date. In the event that

22


 

such Appraisals reflect that the Loan-to-Value Ratio (based on the then outstanding principal of the Loan) for all Property then in the Collateral Pool exceeds sixty-five percent (65%), then Borrower shall, within thirty (30) Business Days after written notice from Administrative Agent, make a principal payment to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in an amount necessary to reduce such Loan-to-Value Ratio to sixty-five percent (65%), and Borrower’s failure to make such principal payment within such thirty (30) Business Day period shall be an immediate Default under this Agreement. Any prepayment of principal made in connection with the foregoing remargin provision shall be without any Prepayment Premium or other penalty, except for (i) any LIBOR breakage costs incurred by Lenders and (2) any termination payments under any Swap Contract. Any principal payment made pursuant to this paragraph shall be applied first to any portion of the Loan that is not subject to a Swap Contract, if any.
     2.9 FULL REPAYMENT AND RECONVEYANCE. Upon repayment and termination of all Secured Obligations in full, Administrative Agent shall issue a full reconveyance of the Property from the Lien of the Mortgage; provided, however, that all of the following conditions shall be satisfied at the time of, and with respect to, such reconveyance: (a) Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, shall have received all escrow, closing and recording costs, the costs of preparing and delivering such reconveyance and any sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents; and (b) Administrative Agent shall have received a written release satisfactory to Administrative Agent of any set aside letter, letter of credit or other form of undertaking which Administrative Agent or any Lender has issued to any surety, Governmental Authority or any other party in connection with the Loan and/or the Property. Lenders’ obligations to make further Advances under the Loan shall terminate as to any portion of the Loan undisbursed as of the date of issuance of such full release or reconveyance, and any commitment of Lenders to lend any undisbursed portion of the Loan shall be canceled.
     2.10 LENDERS’ ACCOUNTING. Administrative Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books in which shall be recorded (a) the names and addresses and the Pro Rata Shares of the commitment of each of the Lenders, and principal amount of the Loan owing to each Lender from time to time, and (b) all repayments of principal and payments of accrued interest, as well as payments of fees required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with Administrative Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. Monthly or at such other interval as is customary with Administrative Agent’s practice, Administrative Agent will render a statement of the Loan Account to Borrower and will deliver a copy thereof to each Lender. Each such statement shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrower in all respects as to all matters reflected therein (absent manifest error).
     2.11 PROPERTY RELEASES. From time to time after the Prepayment Lockout Expiration Date (or earlier in connection with a Qualified Redevelopment Release) but prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower may request, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent or such shorter period as may be acceptable to Administrative Agent, that any Non-Key Property or Redevelopment Property (but not any Key Property) be released from the Collateral Pool and from the Liens created by the Mortgage and other Loan Documents, which release (a “Property Release”) shall be effected by a written release executed by Administrative Agent when all of the following conditions are satisfied as of the date of such Property Release:
  (a)   No Default or Potential Default exists under the Loan Documents, or will exist immediately after giving effect to such Property Release;
 
  (b)   Such Property Release shall be in connection with the refinancing of such Non-Key Property or Redevelopment Property, as the case may be, or the sale of such Non-Key Property or such Redevelopment Property, as the case may be, to a Person that is not an Affiliate of any Borrower or Guarantor, or such Non-Key Property or Redevelopment Property shall be contributed to a joint venture or other entity Controlled by Borrower or Guarantor for the purpose of the redevelopment of such Non-Key Property or Redevelopment Property, as the case may be;

23


 

  (c)   Administrative Agent shall have received, for the account of the Lenders, the Release Price for the Property to be released, which Release Price shall be applied as a reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan;
 
  (d)   Administrative Agent shall have received any and all sums then due and owing under the Loan Documents in connection with such Property Release, including the applicable Prepayment Premium due on account of such Property Release, and all closing and recording costs, the costs of preparing and delivering such Property Release and the cost of any title insurance endorsements required by Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, an endorsement pursuant to applicable title insurance rules and regulations;
 
  (e)   If the Non-Key Property or Redevelopment Property to be released is only a portion of larger parcel or tract of land, then: (i) the Non-Key Property or Redevelopment Property to be released and the portion of the Property which shall remain encumbered by the applicable Mortgage shall each be legal parcels lawfully created in compliance with all subdivision laws and ordinances and, at Borrower’s sole cost, and Administrative Agent shall have received any title insurance endorsements or other evidence to that effect requested by Administrative Agent, in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent; (ii) the legal descriptions of the portion of the Property being released and the portion of the Property remaining encumbered shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and (iii) the portion of the Property which shall remain encumbered by the applicable Mortgage shall have the benefit of all utilities, easements, public and/or private streets, covenants, conditions and restrictions as may be necessary, in Administrative Agent’s judgment, for the development, improvement and operation thereof; provided, that Administrative Agent shall exercise such judgment in a reasonable manner so long as any such release shall not result in a material adverse effect on the remaining portion of the Property not so released.
 
  (f)   If the Non-Key Property or Redevelopment Property to be released is only a portion of larger parcel or tract of land for real estate tax purposes (i.e., the Non-Key Property or Redevelopment Property being released is only a portion of a larger tax parcel), Administrative Agent shall have received evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that any tax or assessment which constitutes a lien against the Non-Key Property or Redevelopment Property, as the case may be, has been properly allocated between the Non-Key Property or Redevelopment Property to be released and the portion of the Property which shall remain encumbered by the Mortgage;
 
  (g)   No Property Release shall result in any of the remaining Property in the Collateral Pool after the Property Release not (i) having sufficient access to a public right-of-way for ingress and egress to such remaining Property or (ii) being in non-compliance with any Requirements of Law as a result of such Property Release, including without limitation, any parking requirements applicable to the Property remaining in the Collateral Pool.
 
  (h)   Neither the acceptance of any payment of a Release Price nor the issuance of any Property Release by Administrative Agent shall affect Borrower’s obligation to repay all amounts owing under the Loan Documents or under the Lien of the Mortgage on the remainder of the Property which is not released; provided, however, if a Property Release obtained in accordance with this Agreement results in one of the entities other than Parent comprising Borrower no longer having any interest in the Collateral Pool, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall take such actions as may reasonably be required to release such entity from any liability accruing under the Loan Documents from and after the date of such release.

Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender makes any representations or warranties other than those expressly made in this Agreement.

Until such time as the indebtedness under the Loan is paid in full, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent, as soon as available, a photocopy of all future insurance statements received by Borrower from insurance agent.
     4.3 GENERAL. Borrower shall have no right or ability to affect withdrawals from the Restricted Account or the subaccounts created thereunder, except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and shall have no right to exercise dominion or control over the Restricted Account or the subaccounts created thereunder. All deposits required to be made by Borrower under this Article, are herein collectively called “Impounds”. For so long as any of the Impounds required under this Article are in effect and if Administrative Agent reasonably determines that any of the Impounds were not estimated properly and a deficiency exists, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of such deficiency and Borrower shall deposit or cause tenant to deposit with Administrative Agent the amount of such deficiency not more than ten (10) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of such notice. Administrative Agent shall have the right to enter upon the Property at all reasonable times, including without limitation, prior to any disbursement of Impounds, to inspect any work in process and/or completed for which Impounds are now or hereafter required, but Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to supervise or inspect any such work or to inform Borrower or any third party regarding any aspect of any such work. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent all reasonable fees, costs and expenses charged, paid or incurred by Administrative Agent from time to time in connection with any request of Borrower for a disbursement of funds from the Impounds. Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent to disburse directly to Administrative Agent, from the Impounds or from funds to be disbursed to Borrower from the Impounds, such sums as may be necessary, at any time and from time to time, to pay all such fees, costs and expenses.
     4.4 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST IN IMPOUNDS, ACCOUNTS; APPLICATION OF FUNDS. As security for payment of the Loan and the performance by Borrower of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Administrative Agent, and grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a security interest in, all Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all Impounds, the Restricted Account and the subaccounts created thereunder, and all other Accounts. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any of the Impounds, the Restricted Account or the subaccounts created thereunder, or all other Accounts, or permit any lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements to be filed thereon, except those naming Administrative Agent as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes

29


 

of the UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, Administrative Agent may apply all or any part of the, the Restricted Account and the subaccounts created thereunder, and all other Accounts against the amounts outstanding under the Loan in any order and in any manner as Administrative Agent shall elect in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Administrative Agent to foreclose the liens and security interests securing the Loan or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents. The Impounds and Account Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Administrative Agent. All interest which accrues on the foregoing Impounds and Account Funds shall be at a rate established by Administrative Agent, which may or may not be the highest rate then available, shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to Borrower and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued. Upon repayment in full of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents, all remaining Impounds and Account Funds, if any, shall be disbursed to Borrower within ten (10) Business Days.

Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent may disapprove any contractor, subcontractor or material supplier which, in Administrative Agent’s good faith determination, is deemed financially or otherwise unqualified; provided, however, that the absence of any such disapproval shall not constitute a warranty or representation of qualification by Administrative Agent or any Lender. Administrative Agent or any Lender may contact any such contractor, subcontractor or material supplier to discuss the course of construction.
     5.3 PROHIBITED CONTRACTS. Without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, Borrower shall not contract for any materials, furnishings, equipment, fixtures or other parts or components of the Additional Improvements, if any third party shall retain any ownership interest (other

than Lien rights created by operation of law) in such items after their delivery to the Property. Borrower shall have five (5) days to effect the removal of any such retained interest.
     5.4 LIENS AND STOP NOTICES.

Any such inspection or review of the Additional Improvements by Administrative Agent or Independent Inspecting Architect is solely to determine whether Borrower is properly discharging its obligations under the Loan Documents and may not be relied upon by Borrower or by any third party as a representation or warranty of compliance with this Agreement or any other agreement. Neither Administrative Agent, Independent Inspecting Architect nor any Lender owe a duty of care to Borrower or any third party to protect against, or to inform Borrower or any third party of, any negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective design or construction of the Additional Improvements as determined by Administrative Agent, the Independent Inspecting Architect or any Lender.

Such coverage should adequately insure any and all Collateral, whether such Collateral is onsite, stored offsite or otherwise. Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, shall be named on the policy as Mortgagee and named under a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement (form #438BFU or equivalent).

Administrative Agent may require that Borrower be named as an additional insured on any such policy. Whether Borrower employs a general contractor or performs as owner-builder, Administrative Agent may require that coverage include statutory workers’ compensation insurance.
     6.5 OTHER COVERAGE. Borrower shall provide to Administrative Agent evidence of such other reasonable insurance in such reasonable amounts as Administrative Agent may from time to time 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. Such coverage requirements may include but are not limited to coverage for earthquake, acts of terrorism, mold, business income, delayed business income, rental loss, sink hole, soft costs, tenant improvement or environmental.
     6.6 GENERAL. Borrower shall provide to Administrative Agent insurance certificates or other evidence of coverage in form acceptable to Administrative Agent, with coverage amounts, deductibles, limits and retentions as required by Administrative Agent.

Borrower may obtain the insurance required hereunder from any insurance company of Borrower’s choice that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld. The non-acceptance of an insurer by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed unreasonable if it is based upon reasonable standards, uniformly applied, relating to the extent of coverage required and the financial soundness and services of the insurer. Such standards shall not discriminate against any particular insurer nor shall such standards call for rejection of an insurance contract because the contract contains coverage in addition to that required under this Agreement.

     10.4 APPROVAL OF LEASES.
     (a) Borrower shall perform its covenants and obligations under the Leases, and shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent copies of any notices of default or other material notices received from any tenants under the Leases. Borrower shall not amend or modify any Lease that is not a Minor Lease or License Agreement in any material manner without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (it being agreed, without limiting the foregoing, that any amendment or modification to the Leases which (1) reduces the rent or term of the Lease, (2) changes the permitted use by the tenant thereunder, (3) provides for any material concessions to the tenant, (4) materially increases landlord’s obligations thereunder or (5) restricts the future development of any of the Property or (6) grants any options, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to purchase any of the Property, shall be deemed material). In addition, Borrower shall not terminate any Lease that is not a Minor Lease or License Agreement without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, except that Borrower may terminate (A) Leases of tenants who are relocating to other space within the Property provided that such tenants execute Leases covering such space on substantially the same economic terms as the terminated Lease, (B) Leases under 5,000 square feet in the ordinary course of business of owning and operating a mixed use development in a reasonable and prudent manner, so long as (i) no Default or Potential Default is then existing and (ii) in the case of (B), such Lease is being terminated on account of either (x) a default by the tenant under the Lease in question or (y) the redevelopment of that portion of the Property affected by such Lease. All Leases (and lease terminations, modifications or amendments) of all or any part of the Property shall: (a) satisfy the requirements for an Approved Lease as set forth in the definition thereof; and (b) include estoppel, subordination, attornment and mortgagee protection provisions satisfactory to Administrative Agent in Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion.

As used in this Agreement, an “Approved Lease” means (1) a License Agreement, (2) a Lease that is in effect prior to the Effective Date and which has been reviewed by Administrative Agent, (3) a Lease executed after the Effective Date covering less than 2,500 rentable square feet of the Property and that provides for a Net Effective Rent of at least seventy percent (70%) or more of Pro Forma Rent and is substantially on an Approved Lease Form and otherwise on arm’s length terms and with a tenant unaffiliated with Borrower or Guarantor (a “Minor Lease”) and (4) a Lease executed after the Effective Date covering 2,500 rentable square feet or more of the Property that (i) is substantially on the Approved Lease Form or, if not substantially on the Approved Lease Form, is approved by Administrative Agent in writing as to form and content, (ii) is on economic terms not materially less favorable than Pro Forma Rent (including, but not limited to, term, Net Effective Rent (as hereinafter defined), expense recovery and tenant improvement/concession package), (iii) with respect to a Lease that covers less than 10,000 rentable square of area of the Property, and notwithstanding clause (ii) above, such Lease provides for a Net Effective Rent of at least eighty-five percent (85%) or more of Pro Forma Rent, and if such Lease does not satisfy the required Net Effective Rent, Administrative Agent has otherwise reviewed and approved such Lease, (iv) with respect to a Lease that covers 10,000 rentable square feet or more of the Property but less than 25,000 rentable square feet of the Property, such Lease is with a tenant approved by Administrative Agent as to the creditworthiness of such tenant, and such Lease has been reviewed and approved by Administrative Agent and (v) with respect to a Lease that covers 25,000 rentable square or more of the Property, such Lease is with a tenant approved by Administrative Agent as to the creditworthiness of such tenant, and such Lease has been

40


 

reviewed and approved by the Requisite Lenders. Borrower shall provide a copy of any executed Leases to Administrative Agent upon Administrative Agent’s request.
     (c) With respect to any Lease that requires the approval of only Administrative Agent as provided herein, Borrower shall submit the Lease Materials for such proposed Lease to Administrative Agent in writing with its request for the approval of the Lease by the Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent shall respond to Borrower with its approval or disapproval, as the case may be, of the Lease within seven (7) Business Days of Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Lease Materials, provided that the notice sent by Borrower to Administrative Agent shall include the following statement set forth in all capital letters: “NOTE: ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S REPLY TO BORROWER’S REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THE ENCLOSED LEASE MATERIALS IS REQUIRED WITHIN SEVEN (7) BUSINESS DAYS OF ITS RECEIPT OF THIS REQUEST, AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN SUCH SEVEN (7) BUSINESS DAY PERIOD SHALL BE DEEMED AN APPROVAL OF THE ENCLOSED LEASE.” If the request from Borrower contains the foregoing language and the required Lease Materials and Administrative Agent fails to respond in writing (which may be by email) with Administrative Agent’s approval or disapproval on or before the seventh (7th) Business Day of Administrative Agent’s receipt of such written notice and Lease Materials, such failure shall be deemed to be an approval of such proposed Lease by Administrative Agent.
     (d) With respect to any Lease that requires the approval of the Requisite Lenders as provided herein, Borrower shall submit the Lease Materials for such proposed Lease to Administrative Agent in writing with its request for the approval of the Lease by the Requisite Lenders, and Administrative Agent shall respond to Borrower with the Requisite Lenders’ approval or disapproval, as the case may be, of the Lease within ten (10) Business Days of Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Lease Materials, provided that the notice sent by Borrower to Administrative Agent shall include the following statement set forth in all capital letters: “NOTE: THE REQUISITE LENDERS’ REPLY TO THE REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THE ENCLOSED LEASE MATERIALS IS REQUIRED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS REQUEST, AND THE REQUISITE LENDERS’ FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN SUCH TEN (10) BUSINESS DAY PERIOD SHALL BE DEEMED AN APPROVAL OF THE ENCLOSED LEASE.” Upon receipt of such request, Administrative Agent shall promptly send a copy of the Lease Materials to each Lender, and each Lender shall review and reply to Administrative Agent in writing with such Lender’s approval or disapproval, as the case may be, of the Lease Materials for such Lease within five (5) Business Days of such Lender’s receipt of the applicable Lease Materials, and if any Lender fails to respond to Administrative Agent within such five (5) Business Day period, then Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on such non-response as an approval of the proposed Lease by such Lender. If the request to Administrative Agent contains the required notice language and the required Lease Materials and Administrative Agent fails to respond in writing (which may be by email) with Administrative Agent’s approval or disapproval on or before the tenth (10th) Business Day of Administrative Agent’s receipt of such written notice and Lease Materials, such failure shall be deemed to be an approval of such proposed Lease by the Requisite Lenders.
     (e) Administrative Agent shall provide timely responses to Borrower’s requests for review and approval of any Subordination, Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreements and other reasonable items related to the redevelopment of any of the Property (e.g., easements). With respect to any items that require Administrative Agent’s approval, Administrative Agent shall review and reply to Borrower with its approval or disapproval, as the case may be, of such matter within fifteen (15) Business Days of Administrative Agent’s receipt of a written request from Borrower for approval, provided that the notice sent by Borrower to Administrative Agent includes the following statement set forth in all capital letters “NOTE: ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S REPLY TO BORROWER’S REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THE ENCLOSED MATERIAL IS REQUESTED WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS OF ITS RECEIPT OF THIS REQUEST.” If the request to Administrative Agent contains the required notice language and Administrative Agent fails to respond in writing (which may be by email) with Administrative Agent’s approval or

41


 

disapproval on or before the fifteenth (15th) Business Day of Administrative Agent’s receipt of such written notice, such failure shall be deemed to be an approval of such request.
     10.5 SUBDIVISION MAPS. Prior to recording any final map, plat, parcel map, lot line adjustment or other subdivision map of any kind covering any portion of the Property (collectively, “Subdivision Map”), Borrower shall submit such Subdivision Map to Administrative Agent for Administrative Agent’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Within ten (10) Business Days after Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Subdivision Map, Administrative Agent shall provide Borrower written notice if Administrative Agent disapproves of said Subdivision Map. Within five (5) Business Days after Administrative Agent’s request, Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Administrative Agent such amendments to the Loan Documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably require to reflect the change in the legal description of the Property resulting from the recordation of any Subdivision Map. In connection with and promptly after the recordation of any amendment or other modification to the Mortgage recorded in connection with such amendments, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, at Borrower’s sole expense, a title endorsement to the Title Policy in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent insuring the continued first priority Lien of the Mortgage. Subject to the execution and delivery by Borrower of any documents required under this Section, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, shall, if required by applicable law, sign any Subdivision Map approved by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section.

     10.7 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Upon Administrative Agent’s request and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, Borrower shall, and shall cause any Person affiliated with Borrower to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any other instruments, including replacement promissory notes, guaranties or other loan documents, and perform any other acts necessary, desirable or proper, as determined by Administrative Agent, to correct clerical errors or omissions in any loan closing documentation, to replace any lost or destroyed loan closing documentation, or to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or to perfect and preserve any Liens created by the Loan Documents. This obligation shall survive any foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Property.
     10.8 MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, TRANSFER OF ASSETS.

     10.10 MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY. Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, Borrower shall not enter into, materially amend or terminate any Management Agreement or any other agreement providing for the management, leasing or operation of the Property; provided, however, Administrative Agent shall not unreasonably withhold approval of entering into the Management Agreement with Manager so long as the Manager executes a subordination agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. Borrower may, without the consent of Administrative Agent or the Lenders, enter into leasing commission agreements with third parties that are in good faith and on arm’s length market terms and conditions.
     10.11 APPRAISAL. As of the Effective Date, Administrative Agent shall have received a written Appraisal confirming to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent that the Loan-to-Value Ratio for the Initial Facility amount (after adjustment for senior Liens and regular and special tax assessments) does not exceed sixty-five percent (65%).

     10.16 CASH MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT; DEBT YIELD TEST.
  (a)   All Operating Revenues shall be deposited into the Lockbox Account on a daily basis pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement. So long as no Cash Trap Event Period is then existing, all funds deposited into the Lockbox Account shall be transferred from the Lockbox Account to the Operating Account pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement, and Borrower will have unrestricted access to the funds in the Operating Account.

43


 

  (b)   Upon the occurrence and during the existence of a Cash Trap Event Period, all Operating Revenues shall be swept into the reserve accounts required under the Cash Management Agreement, including without limitation, any required Impound Accounts, and amounts necessary to pay Operating Expenses (to the extent of any Operating Revenues received and remaining after the required reserve accounts are funded) shall be made available to Borrower to pay such Operating Expenses as provided in the Cash Management Agreement. All Net Cash Flow remaining after payment of Operating Expenses shall be deposited into the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account. Thereafter, the cash sweep shall remain in effect under the Cash Management Agreement so long as the Cash Trap Event Period remains in effect. Borrower may request disbursements in writing from the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account to pay for the cost of Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions incurred in connection with Approved Leases, and any disbursements from the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account shall be subject to the same terms and conditions to funding Loan proceeds set forth in this Agreement (except that disbursements from the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account may be made after the Remargin Date). As used herein the term “Cash Trap Event Period” shall mean a period commencing upon the earlier of (i) the occurrence and continuance of a Default or (ii) at any time that either the Debt Yield is less than nine percent (9.0%) or the Loan-to-Value Ratio (based on the then outstanding principal of the Loan and the most recent Appraisals obtained by Administrative Agent) exceeds sixty-five percent (65%), which Cash Trap Event Period shall expire (y) with regard to any Cash Trap Event Period commenced in connection with clause (i) above, upon the cure (if applicable) of such Default to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (provided that a Cash Trap Event Period has not occurred and is not continuing pursuant to clause (ii) above), or (z) with regard to any Cash Trap Event Period commenced in connection with clause (ii) above, upon the date that the Debt Yield exceeds nine percent (9.0%) and the Loan-to-Value Ratio (based on the then outstanding principal of the Loan) is not greater than sixty-five percent (65%) for two (2) consecutive calendar quarters (provided that no Default shall have occurred and be continuing during and at the time of the expiration of such period). In addition to the foregoing, Borrower may, at any time during the Cash Trap Event Period, make a principal prepayment to Administrative Agent, for the account of Lenders, in the amount necessary to achieve a Debt Yield of nine percent (9.0%) and a Loan-to-Value Ratio (based on the then outstanding principal of the Loan) of sixty-five percent (65%), and upon such prepayment, and provided no Default is then existing, the Cash Trap Event Period shall cease for such occurrence; however, any future failure to maintain the required Debt Yield and/or Loan-to-Value Ratio shall again result in a Cash Trap Event Period. Any principal prepayment made pursuant to this Section 10.16(b) shall not be subject to any Prepayment Premium, but shall be accompanied by (i) any LIBOR breakage costs incurred by Lenders and (2) any termination payments under any Swap Contract. Any principal payment made pursuant to this paragraph shall be applied first to any portion of the Loan that is not subject to a Swap Contract, if any.
 
  (c)   If at any time either (i) the Debt Yield is less than eight and one-fourth percent (8.25%) or (ii) the Loan-to-Value Ratio (based on the then outstanding principal of the Loan) exceeds seventy percent (70%), then (i) if the cash sweep has not previously been initiated under the Cash Management Agreement, a Cash Trap Event Period shall be deemed to have occurred and all Operating Revenues shall be swept into the reserve accounts required under the Cash Management Agreement and (ii) any amounts which are swept by Administrative Agent into the reserve accounts under the Cash Management Agreement, including any funds held in the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account, may be used or applied at any time against the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, projected debt service shortfalls or projected operating shortfalls, in Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion. Any principal prepayment made pursuant to this Section 10.16(c) shall not be subject to any Prepayment Premium, but shall be accompanied by any (i) any LIBOR breakage costs incurred by Lenders and (ii) any termination payments under any Swap Contract. Any principal payment made

44


 

      pursuant to this paragraph shall be applied first to any portion of the Loan that is not subject to a Swap Contract, if any.
     10.17 CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENTS; PLANS. Borrower shall (i) diligently and without delay perform all of its obligations under any Construction Agreements in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) not permit a default by Borrower to occur thereunder. Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of all material correspondence or notices sent to or received under any Construction Agreement, including without limitation, any demand or default notice received thereunder. As additional security for the payment of the Loan, Borrower hereby transfers and assigns to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, as a collateral assignment only, all of Borrower’s rights under any Construction Agreement and any plans and specifications for the construction of any Additional Improvements, subject to the retention by Borrower of a license to use and enjoy such rights and to perform such obligations thereunder, which license is limited as hereinafter provided, and Borrower hereby represents, warrants and agrees with Administrative Agent and Lenders that:
  (a)   Neither this assignment nor any action by Administrative Agent shall constitute an assumption by Administrative Agent and Lenders of any obligations under the Construction Agreements, and Borrower shall continue to be liable for all obligations of Borrower thereunder, Borrower hereby agreeing to perform all of its obligations under the Construction Agreements so as not to permit a default thereunder. Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds Administrative Agent and Lenders harmless against and from any loss, cost, liability or expense (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any failure of Borrower to so perform.
 
  (b)   Administrative Agent shall have the right (but shall have no obligation) at any time upon the occurrence of a Default to take such action as Administrative Agent may at any time reasonably determine to be necessary or advisable to cure any default by Borrower under the Construction Agreements or to protect the rights of Borrower or Administrative Agent and Lenders thereunder, and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest, and in such capacity, Administrative Agent may take any action on behalf of Borrower under any of the Construction Agreements as Administrative Agent deems appropriate. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall incur no liability if any action so taken by Administrative Agent shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, and Borrower agrees to defend and hold Administrative Agent and Lenders free and harmless against and from any loss, cost, liability or expense (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such action. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL INCLUDE LOSSES, COSTS, LIABILITIES OR EXPENSES OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS RESULTING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTIES, BUT NOT THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.
 
  (c)   Prior to a Default hereunder and the termination by Administrative Agent of the license granted herein to Borrower, Borrower shall have the right to exercise its rights under the Construction Agreements, provided that Borrower shall not cancel or terminate any material Construction Agreements (i.e., a Construction Agreement with a contract sum in excess of $1,000,000) or do or suffer to be done any act with respect to such material Construction Agreement which would materially impair the security constituted by this assignment without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent.
 
  (d)   This assignment shall inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchaser upon foreclosure of the Mortgage, any receiver in possession of the Property, and any entity formed by Administrative Agent which assumes Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and obligations under this Agreement.

45


 

  (e)   Upon the occurrence of any Default under this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall have the right, power and privilege (but shall be under no duty) to terminate the license granted to Borrower hereunder and thereupon Administrative Agent may exercise all rights and remedies and undertake all actions which would be available to Borrower under the Construction Agreements in accordance with their terms and use any plans and specifications for the Additional Improvements. The assignment contained herein is primary in nature to the obligations evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents. Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent may enforce the assignment contained herein without first resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall prevent Administrative Agent and Lenders from suing on the Notes, foreclosing the Mortgage or exercising any other right or remedy under the Mortgage or any other Loan Document or at law or equity.

50


 

notice and cure period provided therein, or if Wells Fargo is not the counterparty, under the interest rate swap transaction approved by Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan.
     12.2 ACCELERATION UPON DEFAULT; REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Default specified in this Article 12, Requisite Lenders may, at their sole option, declare all sums owing to Lenders under the Notes, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents immediately due and payable.

     12.3 DISBURSEMENTS TO THIRD PARTIES. Upon the occurrence of a Default occasioned by Borrower’s failure to pay money to a third party as required by this Agreement, Administrative Agent may but shall not be obligated to make such payment from the Loan proceeds, or other funds of Lenders or any amounts in deposit accounts maintained by Borrower with Administrative Agent. If such payment is made from proceeds of the Loan, Borrower shall immediately deposit with Administrative Agent, upon written demand, an amount equal to such payment. If such payment is made from funds of Lenders, Borrower shall immediately repay such funds upon written demand of Administrative Agent. In either case, the Default with respect to which any such payment has been made by Administrative Agent or Lenders shall not be deemed cured until such deposit or repayment (as the case may be) has been made by Borrower to Administrative Agent.

For this purpose, Borrower irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest.

If Administrative Agent determines at any time in its reasonable discretion that the Additional Improvements are not being constructed in accordance with the all Requirements of Law, Administrative Agent may immediately cause all construction to cease on any of the Additional Improvements affected by the condition of nonconformance. Borrower shall thereafter not allow any construction work, other than corrective work, to be performed on any of the Additional Improvements affected by the condition of nonconformance until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Borrower in writing that the nonconforming condition has been corrected.
     12.6 REPAYMENT OF FUNDS ADVANCED. Any funds expended by Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of its rights or remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable to Administrative Agent upon demand, together with interest at the rate applicable to the principal balance of the Loan from the date the funds were expended.

All Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with those granted by law or at equity, are cumulative and may be exercised by Administrative Agent or Lenders at any time. Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s exercise of any right or remedy shall not constitute a cure of any Default unless all sums then due and payable to Lenders under the Loan Documents are repaid and Borrower has cured all other Defaults. No waiver shall be implied from any failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to take, or any delay by Administrative Agent or any Lender in taking, action concerning any Default or failure of condition under the Loan Documents, or from any previous waiver of any similar or unrelated Default or failure of condition. Any waiver or approval under any of the Loan Documents must be in writing and shall be limited to its specific terms.

     13.2 EQUITY TRANSFERS.
     (a) Prohibited Equity Transfers.

     (b) Permitted Equity Transfers.

In addition, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the following Transfers shall be deemed to be a Prohibited Equity Transfer: the issuance, redemption, sale, exchange, mortgage, pledge, hypothecation, assignment, encumbrance, conveyance, transfer or other disposition (each, an “HHC Share Transfer”) of the equity interests (the “HHC Shares”) in Guarantor (or a successor by a merger pursuant to a Plan Sponsor Acquisition as hereinafter defined) so long as the HHC Share Transfer does not result in or cause a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined) of Guarantor (or a successor by a merger pursuant to a Plan Sponsor Acquisition). For purposes of this Section, a “Change of Control” shall occur when: (i) one Person (hereinafter defined) or group of affiliated Persons acquires more than 33% of the HHC Shares in one or a series of transactions, provided, however, that the acquisition by a Plan Sponsor (as hereinafter defined) of more than 33% of the HHC Shares in one or a serious of transactions (a “Plan Sponsor

52


 

Acquisition”) shall not constitute a Change in Control; or (ii) the individuals comprising the Board of Directors of Guarantor (or a successor by merger pursuant to a Plan Sponsor Acquisition), as the same exists for the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the HHC Share Transfer, fail to represent a majority of the Board of Directors of Guarantor (or a successor by merger pursuant to a Plan Sponsor Acquisition) as of the date of completion of the HHC Share Transfer and for a period of six (6) months following the HHC Share Transfer, provided however, that such a change in the majority of the Board of Directors of Guarantor in connection with a Plan Sponsor Acquisition shall not constitute a Change in Control. For purposes of determining the occurrence of (ii) above, the following shall be expressly excluded: any change in directors resulting from (w) the death or incapacity of any director and/or (x) the resignation or removal of any director for reasons unrelated to an HHC Share Transfer, provided any replacement director has been approved in the manner required by the governing documents of Guarantor in effect immediately prior to the date of the HHC Share Transfer. For purposes of this Section 13.2, “Plan Sponsor” means (i) Brookfield Asset Management, Inc., (ii) Fairholme Funds, Inc., (iii) Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P. and/or (iv) The Blackstone Group LP and any affiliate of any of the foregoing. Borrower shall give written notice to Administrative Agent within 30 days after Borrower receives actual notice of the consummation of a Plan Sponsor Acquisition and shall provide Administrative Agent with such documents and information as Administrative Agent may reasonably require so that Administrative Agent can confirm that the transaction qualifies as a Plan Sponsor Acquisition. In addition, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, each of Guarantor and The Howard Research and Development Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“HRDC”) may pledge, hypothecate and encumber its assets as each may determine. A Person shall mean any person or entity. Prohibited Equity Transfers do not include issuance, redemptions, sales, conveyances, exchanges, mortgages, pledges, hypothecations, assignments, encumbrances, conveyances, transfers or other dispositions in Persons having a direct or indirect interest in Guarantor (or successor by merger pursuant to a Plan Sponsor Acquisition).

ARTICLE 14. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT; INTERCREDITOR PROVISIONS
     14.1 APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION.
     (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents for the benefit of the Lenders.
     (b) Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.

53


 

     (c) Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Administrative Agent”, “Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
     (d) The Administrative Agent will also furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. In addition, the Administrative Agent will also furnish to each Lender, promptly upon Administrative Agent’s receipt, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents received by Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 11.
     (e) As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of Borrower’s obligations hereunder), Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the obligations of Borrower; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Requirements of Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Potential Default or Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the Other Related Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.
     14.2 WELLS FARGO AS LENDER. Wells Fargo, as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wells Fargo in each case in its individual capacity. Wells Fargo and its affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders. Further, the Administrative Agent and any affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo or its affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, other loan parties, other subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.
     14.3 LOAN DISBURSEMENTS.
     (a) Promptly following receipt of a complete Application for Payment, Administrative Agent shall send an electronic or other copy thereof to each other Lender and shall otherwise

54


 

notify each Lender of the proposed disbursement and the Funding Date (as such term is defined in Exhibit C attached hereto). Each Lender shall make available to Administrative Agent (or the funding bank or entity designated by Administrative Agent), the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement in immediately available funds not later than the times designated in Section 14.3(b). Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender not later than the close of business (San Francisco, California time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Funding Date in respect of any disbursement that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender shall make such amount available to Administrative Agent. If any Lender does not notify Administrative Agent of its intention not to make available its Pro Rata Share of such disbursement as described above, but does not for any reason make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement, such Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate. In any case where a Lender does not for any reason make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement, Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, fund to Borrower such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement. If Administrative Agent funds to Borrower such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement and if such Lender subsequently pays to Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement. Nothing in this Section 14.3(a) shall alter the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder in respect of a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Pro Rata Advance.
     (b) Requests by Administrative Agent for funding by Lenders of disbursements will be made by telecopy. Each Lender shall make the amount of its disbursement available to Administrative Agent in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to such bank and account, in El Segundo, California (to such bank and account in such other place) as Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 11:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the Funding Date designated by Administrative Agent with respect to such disbursement, but in no event earlier than two (2) Business Days following Lender’s receipt of the applicable Application for Payment.
     (c) Nothing in this Section 14.3 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Pro Rata Share of disbursements on any Funding Date, nor shall Administrative Agent or any Lender be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to perform its obligations to make any disbursement hereunder, and the Commitment of any Lender shall not be increased or decreased as a result of the failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make a disbursement.
     14.4 DISTRIBUTION AND APPORTIONMENT OF PAYMENTS; DEFAULTING LENDERS.
     (a) Subject to Section 14.4(b) below, payments actually received by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders shall be paid to them promptly after receipt thereof by Administrative Agent, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, provided that Administrative Agent shall pay to Lenders interest thereon, at the lesser of (i) the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) the rate of interest applicable to the Loan, from the Business Day following receipt of such funds by Administrative Agent until such funds are paid in immediately available funds to Lenders. All payments of principal, interest, and other payments under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall be allocated among such of Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares in the Loan or otherwise as provided herein or as separately agreed by Administrative Agent and any Lender. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, to each Lender at its primary address set forth on the appropriate signature page hereof or on the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, or at such other address as a Lender may request in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, provided that Administrative Agent shall in any event not be bound to inquire into or determine the validity, scope or priority of any interest or entitlement of any Lender and may suspend all payments and seek appropriate relief (including, without limitation, instructions from Requisite

55


 

Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, or an action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or dispute as to any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby. The order of priority herein is set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of Lenders as among themselves and may at any time or from time to time be changed by Lenders as they may elect, in writing in accordance with this Agreement, without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by Borrower or any other Person. All payments or other sums received by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders shall not constitute property or assets of the Administrative Agent and shall be held by Administrative Agent, solely in its capacity as agent for itself and the other Lenders, subject to the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents.
     (b) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, until such time as a Defaulting Lender has funded its Pro Rata Share of a Protective Advance or prior Loan disbursements which was previously a Non-Pro Rata Advance, or all other Lenders have received payment in full (whether by repayment or prepayment) of the amounts due in respect of such Non-Pro Rata Advance, all of the indebtedness and obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of payment, as provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all principal, interest and fees in respect of all Non-Pro Rata Advances in which the Defaulting Lender has not funded its Pro Rata Share (such principal, interest and fees being referred to as “Senior Loans”). All amounts paid by a Loan Party and otherwise due to be applied to the indebtedness and obligations owing to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Loan (recalculated for purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan), until all Senior Loans have been paid in full. This provision governs only the relationship among Administrative Agent, each Defaulting Lender, and the other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit the obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents. The provisions of this section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether a Default occurs and is then continuing, and notwithstanding (a) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (b) any instruction of any Loan Party as to its desired application of payments or (c) the suspension of such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of Requisite Lenders or all Lenders. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to (i) withhold or setoff, and to apply to the payment of the defaulted amount and any related interest, any amounts to be paid to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. In addition, the Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities and costs, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate as set forth in the Notes, which they may sustain or incur by reason of or as a direct consequence of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
     14.5 PRO RATA TREATMENT. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from Lenders shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of the fees shall be made for the account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loan shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loan held by them, provided that if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of the Loan the outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in effect at the time the Loan was made, then such payment shall be applied to the Loan in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Loan being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; and (c) each payment of interest on the Loan shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on the Loan then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

56


 

     14.6 SHARING OF PAYMENTS, ETC. Lenders agree among themselves that (i) with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment of the obligations of Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan, equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares in the Loan, whether received by voluntary payment, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any or all of such obligations, (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such obligations held by it which is greater than its Pro Rata Share in the Loan of the payments on account of such obligations, the one receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such obligations owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with such Pro Rata Shares; provided, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to that party to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 14.6 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.
     14.7 COLLATERAL MATTERS; PROTECTIVE ADVANCES.
     (a) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to a Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral, Loan Documents or Other Related Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents.
     (b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of all of obligations of Borrower hereunder; (ii) as expressly permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by all of the Lenders. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section.
     (c) Upon any sale and transfer of Collateral which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the obligations of Borrower or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, including (without limitation) the proceeds of such sale or transfer, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by the Administrative Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.
     (d) The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected,

57


 

protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent in this Section or in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
     (e) The Administrative Agent may make, and shall be reimbursed by the Lenders (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares) to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower for, Protective Advances during any one calendar year with respect to any Property that is Collateral up to the sum of (i) amounts expended to pay real estate taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon such Property; (ii) amounts expended to pay insurance premiums for policies of insurance related to such Property; and (iii) $500,000. Protective Advances in excess of said sum during any calendar year for any Property that is Collateral shall require the consent of the Requisite Lenders. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all Protective Advances.
     (f) Each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against Borrower or any other Loan Party under the Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents with respect to exercising claims against or rights in the Collateral without the written consent of Requisite Lenders.
     14.8 POST-FORECLOSURE PLANS. If all or any portion of the Collateral is acquired by the Administrative Agent as a result of a foreclosure or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any part of the obligations of Borrower hereunder, the title to any such Collateral, or any portion thereof, shall be held in the name of the Administrative Agent or a nominee or subsidiary of the Administrative Agent, as agent, for the ratable benefit of all Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall prepare a recommended course of action for such Collateral (a “Post-Foreclosure Plan”), which shall be subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders. In accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, the Administrative Agent shall manage, operate, repair, administer, complete, construct, restore or otherwise deal with the Collateral acquired, and shall administer all transactions relating thereto, including, without limitation, employing a management agent, leasing agent and other agents, contractors and employees, including agents for the sale of such Collateral, and the collecting of rents and other sums from such Collateral and paying the expenses of such Collateral. Actions taken by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral, which are not specifically provided for in the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan or reasonably incidental thereto, shall require the written consent of the Requisite Lenders by way of supplement to such Post-Foreclosure Plan. Upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender will contribute its share (based on its Pro Rata Share) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan in connection with the construction, operation, management, maintenance, leasing and sale of such Collateral. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall render or cause to be rendered to each Lender, on a monthly basis, an income and expense statement for such Collateral, and each Lender shall promptly contribute its Pro Rata Share of any operating loss for such Collateral, and such other expenses and operating reserves as the Administrative Agent shall deem reasonably necessary pursuant to and in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan. To the extent there is net operating income from such Collateral (taking into account the funding of any reasonably required operating reserves), the Administrative Agent shall, in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to the Lenders. All such distributions shall be made to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. The Lenders acknowledge and agree that if title to any Collateral is obtained by the Administrative Agent or its nominee, such Collateral will not be held as a permanent investment. The Administrative Agent shall undertake to sell such Collateral, at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Requisite Lenders reasonably shall determine to be most advantageous to the Lenders. Any purchase money mortgage or deed of trust taken in connection with

58


 

the disposition of such Collateral in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall name the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Lenders, as the beneficiary or mortgagee. In such case, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall enter into an agreement with respect to such purchase money mortgage or deed of trust defining the rights of the Lenders in the same Pro Rata Shares as provided hereunder, which agreement shall be in all material respects similar to this Article insofar as the same is appropriate or applicable.
     14.9 APPROVALS OF LENDERS. All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Administrative Agent (together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination.
     14.10 NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Potential Default unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Potential Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Potential Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”. Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.
     14.11 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RELIANCE, ETC. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, INCLUDING ACTIONS WHICH MAY CONSTITUTE NEGLIGENCE OR ANY STRICT LIABILITY, EXCEPT FOR ITS OR THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT IN CONNECTION WITH ITS OR THEIR DUTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN OR THEREIN. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any Collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such Collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related

59


 

Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
     14.12 INDEMNIFICATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Regardless of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents are consummated, each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a “Lender”) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”), INCLUDING ANY OF THE FOREGOING RESULTING FROM ANY NEGLIGENCE OR ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY STRICT LIABILITY; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents and/or collect any obligation of Borrower hereunder, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Hazardous Materials Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loan and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.
     14.13 LENDER CREDIT DECISION, ETC. Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent,

60


 

or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties or Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates. Each Lender acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender.
     14.14 SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Potential Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 14. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.
     14.15 NO SET-OFFS. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the exercise by any Lender of offset, set-off, banker’s lien or similar rights against any deposit account or other property or asset of Borrower, whether or not located in Hawaii or Texas, could result under certain laws in significant impairment of the ability of all Lenders to recover any further amounts in respect of the Loan. Therefore, each Lender agrees not to charge or offset any amount owed to it by Borrower against any of the accounts, property or assets of Borrower or any of its affiliates held by such Lender without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders.

     15.6 ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent, as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest, following the occurrence and during the existence of a Default, to execute and/or record in Administrative Agent’s or Borrower’s name any notices, instruments or documents that Administrative Agent deems appropriate to protect Lenders’ interest under any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents.
     15.7 ACTIONS. Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent or any Lender, in exercising the rights, duties or liabilities of Administrative Agent, Lenders or Borrower under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, may commence, appear in or defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Property, the Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents and Borrower shall immediately reimburse Administrative Agent or such Lender upon demand for all such expenses so incurred or paid by Administrative Agent or such Lender, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs.
     15.8 RIGHT OF CONTEST. Borrower may contest in good faith any claim, demand, levy or assessment, including the amount or validity of any taxes and assessments on any of the Property and any mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien claim by any Person other than Administrative Agent or Lenders which would constitute a Default if: (a) Borrower pursues the contest diligently, in a manner which Administrative Agent determines is not prejudicial to Administrative Agent or any Lender, and does not impair the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents; and (b) if requested by Administrative Agent, Borrower deposits with Administrative Agent any funds or other forms of assurance which Administrative Agent in good faith determines from time to time appropriate to protect Administrative Agent and each Lender from the consequences of the contest being unsuccessful. Borrower’s compliance with this Section shall operate to prevent such claim, demand, levy or assessment from becoming a Default.
     15.9 RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. The relationship of Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender, and Administrative Agent and Lenders neither undertake nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any third party with respect to the Property, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents.
     15.10 DELAY OUTSIDE LENDER’S CONTROL. No Lender or Administrative Agent shall be liable in any way to Borrower or any third party for Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s failure to perform or delay in performing under the Loan Documents (and Administrative Agent or any Lender may suspend or terminate all or any portion of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents) if such failure to perform or delay in performing results directly or indirectly from, or is based upon, the action, inaction, or purported action, of any governmental or local authority, or because of war, rebellion, insurrection, strike, lock-out, boycott or blockade (whether presently in effect, announced or in the sole judgment of Administrative Agent or such Lender deemed probable), or from any Act of God or other cause or event beyond Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s control.
     15.11 ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES; ENFORCEMENT. If any attorney is engaged by Administrative Agent or any Lender to enforce or defend any provision of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, or as a consequence of any Default under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding or in connection with any appeal of a lower court decision, and including, without limitation, any fees and expenses incurred in any bankruptcy proceeding of the Borrower, then Borrower shall immediately pay to Administrative Agent or such Lender, upon demand, the amount of all attorneys’ fees and expenses and all costs incurred by Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection therewith, together with interest thereon from the date of such demand until paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance of the Loan.

Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
     15.14 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
     (a) Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all the Lenders (and any such assignment or transfer to which all of the Lenders have not consented shall be void).
     (b) Participations. Any Lender may at any time grant to an affiliate of such Lender, or one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or the obligations owing to such Lender hereunder. No Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of it obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided however, such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loan or a portion thereof owing to such Lender, or (iii) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b).
     (c) Assignments. Any Lender may with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld) at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes; provided, however, (i) no such consent by the Borrower shall be required (x) if a Default or Potential Default shall exist or (y) in the case of an assignment to another Lender or an affiliate of another Lender; (ii) any partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and after giving effect to such assignment the assigning Lender retains a Commitment, or if the Commitments have been terminated, holds a Note having an outstanding principal balance, of at least $5,000,000, and (iii) each such assignment shall be effected by means of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be deemed to be a Lender party to this

65


 

Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangement so the new Notes (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E) are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $4,500; provided, however, if such assigning Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the administrative fee for processing such assignment shall be $7,500. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to the Borrower, or any of its respective Affiliates or subsidiaries.
     (d) Tax Withholding. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first day on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any Lender, each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, or a state thereof, shall furnish the Administrative Agent and Borrower with a properly completed executed copy of either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN and either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and any additional form (or such other form) as is necessary to claim complete exemption from United States withholding taxes on all payments hereunder. At all times each Lender shall own or beneficially own a Note, such Lender shall (i) promptly provide to the Administrative Agent and Borrower a new Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN and Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and any additional form (or such other form) (or any successor form or forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable United States laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such Lender, and (ii) comply at all times with all applicable United States laws and regulations, including all provisions of any applicable tax treaty, with regard to any withholding tax exemption claimed with respect to any payments on the Loan. If any Lender cannot deliver such form, then Borrower may withhold from payments due under the Loan Documents such amounts as Borrower is able to determine from accurate information provided by such Lender are required by the Internal Revenue Code.
     (e) Federal Reserve Bank Assignments. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of the Section, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Section, any Lender may at any time and from time to time, pledge and assign all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge of assignment shall release such Lender from its obligation thereunder.
     (f) Information to Assignee, Etc.. A Lender may, from time to time, furnish any information in the possession of such Lender concerning the Borrower, any subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or relating to the Loan or the Collateral, including insurance information, to Assignees and Participants (including prospective Assignees and Participants who Lender in good faith proposes to assign or participate a portion of the Loan in accordance with this Agreement). In connection with and to the extent reasonably necessary for such negotiation, execution and delivery, Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent and Lenders to communicate all information and documentation related to the Loan (whether to Borrower or to any Participant, Assignee, legal counsel, appraiser or other necessary party) directly by e-mail, fax, or other electronic means used to transmit information. Each Lender shall use commercially reasonable and good faith efforts to maintain, and to cause any of its Participants to maintain, such information in a confidential manner, and to restrict the dissemination of such information to Persons having a reasonable and legitimate need related to the Loan for access thereto.

66


 

     15.15 ADDITIONAL COSTS — LIBOR.
     (a) Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or any Participant in the Loan determines that compliance with any law or regulation or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or such Participant, or any corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant, as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s or such Participant’s or such corporation’s Commitments or its making or maintaining Loans below the rate which such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of such Lender or such Participant or corporation with regard to capital), then the Borrower shall, from time to time, subject to Section 2.6(f), pay to such Lender or such Participant additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant to the extent that such Lender or such Participant determines such increase in capital is allocable to such Lender’s or such Participant’s obligations hereunder.
     (b) Additional Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding clause (a), the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans or hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its LIBOR Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or its Commitments (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income of such Lender or of its Lending Office for any of such LIBOR Loans by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Lending Office), or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (including without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder) or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).
     (c) Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsection (a) and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 2.6(e)(i)(D) shall apply).
     (d) Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender, and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrower of

67


 

any event occurring after the Effective Date entitling the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Participant to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Participant to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower, a Lender or a Participant to the Administrative Agent as well, a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section. Determinations by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or such Participant, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
     15.16 SIGNS. Administrative Agent may place on the Property, in locations reasonably determined by Borrower, reasonable signs standard to construction loan transactions stating that construction financing is being provided by Lenders.
     15.17 LENDER’S AGENTS. Administrative Agent and/or any Lender may designate an agent or independent contractor to exercise any of such Person’s rights under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents. Any reference to Administrative Agent or any Lender in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall include Administrative Agent’s and such Lender’s agents, employees or independent contractors. Borrower shall pay the costs of such agent or independent contractor either directly to such person or to Administrative Agent or such Lender in reimbursement of such costs, as applicable.
     15.18 TAX SERVICE. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is authorized to secure, at Borrower’s expense, a tax service contract with a third party vendor which shall provide tax information on the Property satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
     15.19 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (a) ARISING UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE MODIFICATION THEREOF OR (b) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS (AS NOW OR HEREAFTER MODIFIED) OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION IS NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT THEY MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY.
     15.20 SEVERABILITY. If any provision or obligation under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been a part of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, provided, however, that if the rate of interest or any other amount payable under the Notes or this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the right of collectibility therefor, are declared to be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable, Lenders’ obligations to make Advances under the Loan Documents shall not be enforceable by Borrower.
     15.21 TIME. Time is of the essence of each and every term of this Agreement.
     15.22 HEADINGS. All article, section or other headings appearing in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents are for convenience of reference only and shall be

     15.24 USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE; COMPLIANCE. The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56) and federal regulations issued with respect thereto require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, Administrative Agent (for itself and/or as Administrative Agent for all Lenders hereunder) may from time-to-time request, and Borrower shall provide to Administrative Agent, Borrower’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for Administrative Agent and Lenders to comply with federal law.

It is contemplated that there will be Advances and payments under this Note from time to time, but no Advances or payments under this Note (including payment in full of the unpaid balance of principal hereof prior to maturity) shall affect or impair the validity or enforceability of this Note as to future Advances hereunder.
     This Note is one of the Notes referred to in and governed by the Loan Agreement, which Loan Agreement, among other things, contains provisions for the acceleration of the maturity hereof and for the payment of certain additional sums to Lender upon the happening of certain stated events. Capitalized terms used in this Note without definition have the same meanings as in the Loan Agreement.
     The principal amount of this Note, unless accelerated in accordance with Loan Agreement as described below, if not sooner paid, will be due and payable, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts due and unpaid under the Loan Agreement, on the Maturity Date.
     This Note is secured by, among other things, one or more Mortgages with Absolute Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (as amended, supplemented or restated from time to time, collectively, the “Mortgage”) dated of even date with the Loan Agreement, executed by a Borrower, as mortgagor, to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders, as mortgagee.
     Interest on the Loans is payable in arrears on the eleventh (11th) day of each month during the term of the Loan Agreement, commencing with the first Business Day of the first calendar month to begin after the date of this Note. Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest accrues and a year of three hundred sixty (360) days. The Loan Agreement provides for the payment by Borrower of various other charges and fees, in addition to the interest charges described in the Loan Agreement, as set forth more fully in the Loan Agreement.
     All payments of any amount becoming due under this Note shall be made in the manner provided in the Loan Agreement, in Dollars.
     Upon and after the occurrence of a Default, unless such Default is waived as provided in the Loan Agreement, this Note may, at the option of Requisite Lenders and without further demand, notice or legal process of any kind, be declared by Administrative Agent, and in such case immediately shall become, due and payable.

     Demand, presentment, protest and notice of nonpayment and protest, notice of intention to accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity and notice of dishonor are hereby waived by Borrower. Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Lender may extend the time of payment of this Note, postpone the enforcement hereof, grant any indulgences, release any party primarily or secondarily liable hereon or agree to any subordination of Borrower’s obligations hereunder without affecting or diminishing Lender’s right of recourse against Borrower, which right is hereby expressly reserved.
     This Note has been delivered and accepted Administrative Agent’s offices in Dallas, Texas. This Note shall be interpreted in accordance with, and the rights and liabilities of the parties hereto shall be determined and governed by, the laws of the State of Texas.
     All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Note shall be given to the Borrower or Lender at the address and in the manner provided for in the Loan Agreement.
     In no contingency or event whatsoever shall interest charged in respect of the Loan evidenced hereby, however such interest may be characterized or computed, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. If such a court determines that Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the highest rate applicable hereto, Lender shall, at Lender’s election, either (a) promptly refund such excess interest to Borrower or (b) credit such excess to the principal balance hereof. This provision shall control over every other provision of all agreements between Borrower and Lender.
     Whenever possible each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Note shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Note.

The loan initially funded $212 million to refinance three existing mortgage loans and for closing costs. The remaining $38 million undrawn amount will provide additional capital for the initial redevelopment of Ward. The loan has a five-year term and bears interest at one-month LIBOR+2.50%. At closing Howard Hughes swapped $143 million of the loan to a 3.80% fixed rate. Based on current rates, the blended interest rate is 3.45% and represents approximately $3.6 million of annual interest savings over the refinanced loans. The loan also provides for partial prepayment in order to remove collateral from its borrowing base for redevelopment. The lead lender is Wells Fargo supported by a syndicate of banks including CIBC, First Hawaiian Bank, Bank of Hawaii, American Savings Bank and Central Pacific Bank. The loan was arranged by Randy Fleisher of Quadrant Realty Finance.
“This financing is an important first step as we launch the redevelopment and, ultimately deliver our master plan to unlock the value of Ward Centers. We are pleased to have partnered with lenders who understand the long-term potential of this unique asset,” stated David R. Weinreb, CEO of The Howard Hughes Corporation.
Ward Centers is comprised of approximately 60 acres of fee simple land situated along Ala Moana Beach Park. It is within one mile of Waikiki and downtown Honolulu. Ward Centers currently is a 550,000 square foot shopping district containing six specialty centers and over 135 unique shops, a variety of restaurants and an entertainment center, which includes a 16-screen movie theater. In January 2009, the Hawaii Community Development Authority approved a 15-year master plan, which entitles a mixed-use development encompassing up to 9.3 million square feet, including up to 7.6 million square feet of residential (4,300 units), five million square feet of retail and four million square feet of office, commercial and other uses.
“We appreciate the banks’ endorsement of our team and their confidence in the opportunity to redevelop Ward Centers into a world class real estate asset,” said Grant Herlitz, President of The
