NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND PRINCIPLES OF INTERIM STATEMENTS

Description of Business

The terms “us,” “we,” “our,” and “the Company” as used in this report refer to Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. together with our consolidated subsidiaries.

We are a diversified real estate operating company. We own and manage commercial real estate properties in ten states in the U.S., as well as five self-developed, multi-tenant, flex-office properties, located in Florida. As of September 30, 2014, we owned thirty-seven single-tenant income-producing properties, with more than 924,000 square feet of gross leasable space. We also own and manage a land portfolio of over 10,500 acres. As of September 30, 2014, we had four commercial loan investments including a fixed-rate mezzanine commercial mortgage loan collateralized by the borrower’s equity interest in a hotel property in Atlanta, Georgia, a fixed-rate first mortgage commitment for the redevelopment of an existing vacant retail property into a Container Store in Glendale, Arizona, which is expected to open during the first quarter of 2015, a variable-rate B-Note secured by a retail shopping center in Sarasota, Florida, and a variable-rate mezzanine commercial mortgage loan collateralized by the borrower’s equity interest in a hotel property in Dallas, Texas. Our golf operations consist of the LPGA International golf club, which is managed by a third party. We also lease property for twenty-one billboards, have agricultural operations that are managed by a third party, which consists of leasing land for hay and sod production, timber harvesting, and hunting leases, and own and manage subsurface interests. The results of our agricultural and subsurface leasing operations are included in Agriculture and Other Income and Real Estate Operations, respectively, in our consolidated statements of operations.

Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business properties, and other matters. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and the results of operations for the interim periods.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Any real estate entities or properties included in the consolidated financial statements have been consolidated only for the periods that such entities or properties were owned or under control by us. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Because of the fluctuating market conditions that currently exist in the Florida and national real estate markets, and the volatility and uncertainty in the financial and credit markets, it is possible that the estimates and assumptions, most notably those related to the Company’s investment in income properties and net pension asset, could change materially during the time span associated with the continued volatility of the real estate and financial markets or as a result of a significant dislocation in those markets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and bank demand accounts.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash totaled approximately $1.4 million at September 30, 2014 of which approximately $322,000 is being held in a reserve primarily for property taxes and insurance escrows in connection with our financing of two properties acquired in January 2013, approximately $284,000 is being held in escrow related to a land transaction which closed in December 2013, and approximately $270,000 is being held in reserve for future interest and property tax payments in connection with our construction loan on a vacant retail property in Glendale, Arizona. Additionally, approximately $550,000 is being held in a reserve related to certain required tenant improvements for the Lowes in Katy, Texas.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND PRINCIPLES OF INTERIM STATEMENTS (continued)

 

Investment Securities

The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each balance sheet date in accordance with ASC Topic 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities. Marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale, and are carried at fair market value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included in the determination of comprehensive income and reported in shareholders’ equity. The fair value of securities is determined by quoted market prices.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, investment securities, accounts receivable, and accounts payable at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s investments in commercial loans approximate fair value at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, since the floating and fixed rates of the loans reasonably approximates current market rates for notes with similar risks and maturities. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, since the floating rate of our credit facility and the fixed rates of our secured financings reasonably approximate current market rates for notes with similar risks and maturities.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s estimates of fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance. The framework specifies a hierarchy of valuation inputs which was established to increase consistency, clarity and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based upon three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, two of which are considered observable and one that is considered unobservable. The following describes the three levels:

 

    Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

    Level 2 – Valuation is based upon inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

    Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Classification of Loans

Loans held for investment are stated at the principal amount outstanding and include the unamortized deferred loan fees in accordance with GAAP.

Commercial Loan Investment Impairment

The Company’s commercial loans are held for investment. For each loan, the Company evaluates the performance of the collateral property and the financial and operating capabilities of the borrower/guarantor, in part, to assess whether any deterioration in the credit has occurred and for possible impairment of the loan. Impairment would reflect the Company’s determination that it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan would not be collected. Impairment is measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flows from the loan discounted at the effective rate of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Upon measurement of impairment, the Company would record an allowance to reduce the carrying value of the loan with a corresponding recognition of loss in the results of operations. Significant exercise of judgment is required in determining impairment, including assumptions regarding the estimate of expected future cash flows, collectability of the loan, the value of the underlying collateral and other provisions including guarantees. The Company has determined that, as of September 30, 2014, no allowance for impairment was required.

Interest Income Recognition

Interest income on commercial loan investments includes interest payments made by the borrower and the accretion of purchase discounts and loan origination fees, offset by the amortization of fees. Interest payments are accrued based on the actual coupon rate and the outstanding principal balance and purchase discounts and origination fees are accreted into income using the effective yield method, adjusted for prepayments.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND PRINCIPLES OF INTERIM STATEMENTS (continued)

 

Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions of Real Estate Subject to a Lease

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance on business combinations, the fair value of the real estate acquired with in-place leases is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets, consisting of the value of in-place leases, based in each case on their relative fair values. The Company has determined that income property purchases with a pre-existing lease at the time of acquisition qualify as a business combination, in which case acquisition costs are expensed in the period the transaction closes. For income property purchases in which a new lease is originated at the time of acquisition, the Company has determined that these asset purchases qualify as asset acquisitions, outside the scope of the business combination standards and accordingly, the acquisition costs are capitalized with the purchase.

Reclassifications

Certain items in the prior period’s consolidated statements of operations have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Specifically, loan cost amortization was previously included in depreciation and amortization on the consolidated financial statements and is now included in interest expense. These reclassifications had no effect on the current and prior periods of income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes. Additionally, certain items in the prior period’s consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Specifically, the change in impact fees and mitigation credits was previously included with other assets and is now a separate line item to conform to the new line item on the consolidated balance sheets. The changes in accrued stock-based compensation and the net pension obligation were previously included with the change in accrued liabilities and are now separate line items to conform to the consolidated balance sheet presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the net increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents.

NOTE 2. INCOME PROPERTIES

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company acquired two income properties at an acquisition cost of approximately $20.0 million. Of the total acquisition cost, approximately $7.1 million was allocated to land, approximately $11.8 million was allocated to buildings and improvements, and approximately $1.1 million was allocated to intangible assets pertaining to the in-place lease value. The amortization period for the approximate $1.1 million allocated to intangible assets was approximately 10.6 years at the time of acquisition. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, construction was completed on two self-developed properties, known as the Williamson Business Park, in Daytona Beach, Florida for a total cost of approximately $2.4 million of which approximately $2.2 million was incurred for building and improvements and approximately $221,000 was related to the transfer of basis in the previously owned land.

On July 17, 2014, the Company acquired a 52,665 square-foot building situated on approximately 7 acres leased to American Signature Furniture, in Daytona Beach, Florida. The lease has approximately 6 years remaining on an initial term of 15 years. The total purchase price was approximately $5.3 million, and is located within an approximately 250,000 square-foot retail shopping center anchored by Best Buy, PetSmart and Barnes & Noble. The Company also owns the property leased to Barnes & Noble.

Also during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company completed a five year extension of the lease with Best Buy in McDonough, GA with four one-year extension options at a slightly reduced rate.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company acquired nine income properties at a total acquisition cost of approximately $39.5 million. Of the total acquisition cost, approximately $13.2 million was allocated to land, approximately $23.4 million was allocated to buildings and improvements, and approximately $2.9 million was allocated to intangible assets pertaining to the in-place lease value. The weighted average amortization period for the approximate $2.9 million allocated to intangible assets was approximately 10.5 years at the time of acquisition.

NOTE 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

No income properties were disposed of during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. However, the 14,560 square-foot building located in Apopka, Florida, which is leased to Walgreens was presented as assets held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 as the property is under contract and considered highly probable to close. As the Company has adopted ASU 2014-08, the operating results of this property have not been included in discontinued operations as the disposition does not qualify as a discontinued operation.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company sold its interest in three properties for a combined gain of approximately $531,000. Upon the sales, the properties’ operating results were included in discontinued operations for each period presented.

NOTE 5. LAND AND SUBSURFACE INTERESTS

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company sold approximately 3.1 acres to Halifax Humane Society, Inc. for $391,500, or approximately $128,000 per acre, for a gain of approximately $347,000. This parcel is located on LPGA Boulevard, just west of I-95 in Daytona Beach, Florida and is adjacent to an existing property owned by Halifax Humane Society, Inc.

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company sold approximately 75.6 acres of land, located on the east side of Interstate 95, to a distribution center for approximately $7.8 million, or approximately $103,000 per acre, for a gain at closing of approximately $3.9 million with an additional gain of approximately $324,000 to be recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis as certain road improvements are completed through the estimated completion date of February 2015. In addition, the Company expects to receive payments totaling approximately $1.1 million in late 2015 from Volusia County, based upon certain milestones being achieved including when the distribution center receives its certificate of occupancy and the dates when specified numbers of jobs have been created at the buyer’s operations. Although there can be no assurances that the Company will receive the $1.1 million, such payments would bring the total gain on the sale to approximately $5.3 million.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were no land transactions.

During 2011, an eight-year oil exploration lease covering approximately 136,000 net mineral acres primarily located in Lee County and Hendry County, Florida was executed and an approximate $914,000 first year rental payment was received. An additional approximate $922,000, representing the guaranteed payment for the second year’s delay rent, was received in September 2012. The two payments totaling approximately $1.8 million have been recognized ratably into income through September 2013. On September 22, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment of the exploration lease (the “Oil Lease Amendment”). Under the Oil Lease Amendment, the net mineral acres under exploration lease was reduced from approximately 136,000 net mineral acres to approximately 82,000 net mineral acres in Hendry County, Florida. The approximately 54,000 net mineral acres removed from the exploration lease were located in Lee County, Florida. In connection with the Oil Lease Amendment, the Company received an approximate $3.3 million rent payment for the third year of the Company’s eight-year oil exploration lease. The payment was recognized ratably over the 12 month lease period ending in September 2014. Also during September 2013, the Company received, and recognized as revenue, a non-refundable penalty payment of $1.0 million relating to the drilling requirements in the lease. During September 2014, the Company received an approximate $1.9 million rent payment for the adjusted acreage of 42,000 acres for the fourth year of the Company’s eight-year exploration lease, which is being recognized ratably over the 12 month lease period ending in September 2015. Also during September 2014, the Company received, and recognized as revenue, a non-refundable penalty payment of $600,000 relating to drilling requirements in the lease. The terms of the lease state the Company will receive royalty payments if production occurs and may receive additional annual rental payments if the lease is continued in years four through eight.

Lease income generated by the Oil Lease Amendment is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the guaranteed lease term. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, lease income of approximately $799,000 and $283,000 was recognized, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, lease income of approximately $2.4 million and $738,000 was recognized, respectively. There can be no assurance that the Oil Lease Amendment will be extended beyond the expiration of the current term of September 2015 or, if renewed, on similar terms or conditions.

In addition, the Company generated revenue of approximately $139,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from a fill dirt excavation agreement executed in late 2013.

NOTE 6. INVESTMENT SECURITIES

NOTE 8. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

As of September 30, 2014, the in-place lease value totaled approximately $6.7 million, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $3.4 million. At December 31, 2013, the in-place lease value totaled approximately $6.4 million, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $3.0 million. Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $196,000 and $168,000, respectively. Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $545,000 and $500,000, respectively.

NOTE 9. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The fair value of long-lived assets required to be assessed for impairment is determined on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. These Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to, executed purchase and sale agreements on specific properties, third party valuations, discounted cash flow models, and other model-based techniques.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, an impairment charge of approximately $421,000 was recognized on the income property held for sale as of September 30, 2014. The total impairment charge represents the loss on the sale of approximately $228,000 plus estimated closing costs of approximately $193,000.

NOTE 9. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS (continued)

 

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 the Company recognized an impairment loss of approximately $616,000 on approximately 6.23 acres which was based on the contract price in a transaction that had been executed during that period for approximately 3.21 acres of the total 6.23 acres assessed for impairment. That transaction was terminated prior to closing, however, on December 20, 2013, the Company sold the approximately 6.23 acres to CarMax Auto Super Stores, Inc. for $1.05 million, or approximately $168,500 per acre. The basis in these acres was higher than is typical for the Company’s land holdings as this land had been reacquired through foreclosure in 2009.

NOTE 10. COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is based on the assumption of the conversion of stock options and vesting of restricted stock at the beginning of each period using the treasury stock method at average cost for the periods.

NOTE 11. TREASURY STOCK

On April 26, 2012, the Company announced a voluntary Odd-Lot Buy-Back Program (the “Program”), whereby the Company offered to purchase shares from shareholders who owned less than 100 shares of the Company’s common stock as of April 26, 2012, for $31.00 per share. The Program reflected the Company’s interest in reducing the ongoing costs associated with shareholder recordkeeping and communications and to assist shareholders who may be deterred from selling their small lots of stock due to the costs that would be incurred. The Company paid all costs associated with the Program and purchased 14,634 shares under the Program at a total cost of approximately $454,000. The Program expired September 30, 2012. The Company did not provide any recommendation regarding shareholder participation and the decision was entirely that of each shareholder as to whether to sell shares in this Program.

In November 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase from time to time up to $8 million of its common stock. There is no expiration date for the plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, under the stock repurchase program described above, the Company has repurchased and placed in treasury 25,836 shares of its common stock on the open market for a total cost of approximately $928,000.

NOTE 12. LONG-TERM DEBT

Credit Facility. The Company has a revolving credit facility, as amended on August 1, 2014 (the “Credit Facility”) which matures on August 1, 2018 with the ability to extend the term for 1 year. The Credit Facility has borrowing capacity of $75.0 million with the ability to increase that capacity up to $125.0 million during the term. The indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility accrues interest at a rate ranging from the 30-day LIBOR plus 135 basis points to the 30-day LIBOR plus 200 basis points based on the total balance outstanding under the Credit Facility as a percentage of the total asset value of the Company, as defined in the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility also accrues a fee of 20 to 25 basis points for any unused portion of the borrowing capacity based on whether the unused portion is greater or less than 50% of the total borrowing capacity. The Credit Facility is unsecured and is guaranteed by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Credit Facility bank group is led by Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) and also includes Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Branch Banking & Trust Company.

The Credit Facility is subject to customary restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations on the Company’s ability to: (a) incur indebtedness; (b) make certain investments; (c) incur certain liens; (d) engage in certain affiliate transactions; and (e) engage in certain major transactions such as mergers. In addition, the Company is subject to various financial maintenance covenants, including, but not limited to, a maximum indebtedness ratio, a maximum secured indebtedness ratio, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Agreement also contains affirmative covenants and events of default, including, but not limited to, a cross default to the Company’s other indebtedness and upon the occurrence of a change of control. The Company’s failure to comply with these covenants or the occurrence of an event of default could result in acceleration of the Company’s debt and other financial obligations under the Agreement.

Mortgage Notes Payable. On February 22, 2013, the Company closed on a $7.3 million loan originated with UBS Real Estate Securities Inc., secured by its interest in the two-building office complex leased to Hilton Resorts Corporation, which was acquired on January 31, 2013. The mortgage loan matures in February 2018, carries a fixed rate of interest of 3.655% per annum, and requires payments of interest only prior to maturity.

On March 8, 2013, the Company closed on a $23.1 million loan originated with Bank of America, N.A., secured by its interest in fourteen income properties. The mortgage loan matures in April 2023, carries a fixed rate of 3.67% per annum, and requires payments of interest only prior to maturity.

On September 30, 2014, the Company closed on a $30.0 million loan originated with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., secured by its interest in six income properties.

At September 30, 2014, there was approximately $54.2 million of available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, which has a current commitment level of $75.0 million, subject to the borrowing base requirements.

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, interest expense was approximately $505,000 with approximately $538,000 paid during the period. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, interest expense was approximately $456,000 with approximately $455,000 paid during the period. No interest was capitalized during the three months ended September 30, 2014 or 2013.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, interest expense was approximately $1.4 million with approximately $1.4 million paid during the period.

Interest of approximately $11,000 was capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, while no interest was capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The amortization of loan costs incurred in connection with the Company’s long-term debt is included in interest expense in the consolidated financial statements. These loan costs are being amortized over the term of the respective loan agreements using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the amortization of loan costs totaled approximately $64,000 and $54,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the amortization of loan costs totaled approximately $174,000 and $148,000, respectively.

The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

In July 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with the City of Daytona Beach, Florida (the “City”) to, among other things, amend the lease payments under its golf course lease (the “Lease Amendment”), Under the Amendment, the base rent payment, which was scheduled to increase from $250,000 to $500,000 as of September 1, 2012, will remain at $250,000 for the remainder of the lease term and any extensions would be subject to an annual rate increase of 1.75% beginning September 1, 2013. The Company also agreed to invest $200,000 prior to September 1, 2015 for certain improvements to the facilities. In addition, pursuant to the Lease Amendment, beginning September 1, 2012, and continuing throughout the initial lease term and any extension option, the Company will pay additional rent to the City equal to 5.0% of gross revenues exceeding $5,500,000 and 7.0% of gross revenues exceeding $6,500,000. Since the inception of the lease, the Company has recognized the rent expense on a straight-line basis resulting in an estimated accrual for deferred rent. Upon the effective date of the Lease Amendment, the Company’s straight-line rent was revised to

NOTE 13. ACCRUED LIABILITIES (continued)

 

reflect the lower rent levels through expiration of the lease. As a result, approximately $3.0 million of the rent previously deferred will not be due to the City, and will be recognized into income over the remaining lease term, which expires in 2022. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $2.2 million of the rent, previously deferred that will not be due to the City, remained to be amortized through September 2022.

In connection with the acquisition of the two properties leased to Hilton Resorts Corporation on January 31, 2013, the Company was credited $773,000 at closing for certain required tenant improvements. The improvements were complete as of December 31, 2013 and the final payment of approximately $59,000 was made during the three months ended March 31, 2014. In connection with the acquisition of the Lowes on April 22, 2014, the Company was credited approximately $651,000 at closing for certain required tenant improvements, some of which are not required to be completed until December 2016. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $100,000 of these tenant improvements had been completed and funded.

On July 24, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors terminated the Deferred Compensation Plan effective August 1, 2013. Accordingly, the Company made the normal required distributions prior to March 1, 2014 with the balance of the accounts to be liquidated after August 1, 2014. The final payments were made during the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

On September 22, 2013, the Company received an approximate $3.3 million rent payment for the third year of the Company’s eight-year oil exploration lease. This payment has been fully recognized as revenue as of September 30, 2014. On September 19, 2014, the Company received an approximate $1.9 million rent payment for the fourth year of the Company’s eight-year oil exploration lease, which is being recognized ratably over the 12 month lease period ending in September 2015.

In connection with the 75.6 acre land sale, approximately $597,000 of the $7.8 million sales price was deferred and will be recognized as revenue on a percentage-of-completion basis as certain road improvements are completed through the estimated completion date of February 2015.

NOTE 15. PENSION PLAN

The Company maintains a Defined Benefit Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”) for all employees who have attained the age of 21 and completed one year of service. The pension benefits are based primarily on years of service and the average compensation for the five highest consecutive years during the final ten years of employment. The benefit formula generally provides for a life annuity benefit.

Effective December 31, 2011, the Company amended its Pension Plan to freeze participants’ benefits with no future accruals after that date. Any current or future employee who was not a participant of the Pension Plan on December 31, 2011 will not be eligible to enter the Pension Plan. In January 2013, the Company made a cash contribution to the Pension Plan of $84,600 related to the 2012 Pension Plan year. No contributions were required and the Company did not make any contributions related to the 2013 Pension Plan year during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2014.

On October 23, 2013 the Company’s Board of Directors approved the commencement of the steps necessary to terminate the Pension Plan, pursuant to the Pension Plan, and, if necessary, for the Company to make the required level of contribution whereby the Pension Plan would have sufficient funds to pay all benefits owed participants and beneficiaries. On January 22, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the termination of the Pension Plan effective March 31, 2014. Termination of the Pension Plan will be completed through the distribution of the Pension Plan assets to participants and beneficiaries through either the purchase of an annuity from an insurance company or, payment of the benefit owed in a one-time lump sum payment based on a final calculation of benefit as of March 31, 2014. While the Company expects that the aforementioned distribution of the Pension Plan assets will be completed prior to December 31, 2014, there can be no assurance that the Company will complete the termination of the Pension Plan or if completed, the timing within which the termination will occur. Based on the estimate of benefit obligations and Pension Plan assets at the termination date, the Company does not anticipate having to make any further contributions to the Pension Plan.

NOTE 16. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

EQUITY-CLASSIFIED STOCK COMPENSATION

Market Condition Restricted Shares

Under the Amended and Restated 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), the Company granted to certain employees non-vested restricted stock, which vests upon the achievement of certain market conditions, including thresholds relating to the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of a certain peer group during a five-year performance period.

The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to determine the fair value of its market condition based awards. The determination of the fair value of market condition-based awards is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of other variables. These variables include expected stock price volatility over the requisite performance term of the awards, the relative performance of the Company’s stock price and shareholder returns to companies in its peer group, annual dividends, and a risk-free interest rate assumption. Compensation cost is recognized regardless of the achievement of the market conditions, provided the requisite service period is met.

A summary of activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, is presented below:

As of September 30, 2014, there was approximately $27,000 of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for forfeitures, related to market condition non-vested restricted shares, which will be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.1 years.

Market Condition Inducement Grant of Restricted Shares

Inducement grants of 96,000 and 17,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock were awarded to Mr. Albright and Mr. Patten in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Mr. Albright’s restricted shares were granted outside of the 2010 Plan while Mr. Patten’s restricted shares were awarded under the 2010 Plan. The Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-8 to register the resale of Mr. Albright’s restricted stock award. The restricted shares will vest in nine increments based upon the price per share of the Company’s common stock during the term of their employment (or within ninety days after termination of employment by the Company without cause), meeting or exceeding the target trailing ninety-day average closing prices ranging from $36 per share for the first increment to $65 per share for the final increment. If any increment of the restricted shares fails to satisfy the applicable stock price condition prior to nine years from the grant date, that increment of the restricted shares will be forfeited.

The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to determine the fair value of its market condition based awards. The determination of the fair value of market condition-based awards is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of other variables. These variables include expected stock price volatility over the requisite performance term of the awards, the relative performance of the Company’s stock price and shareholder returns to companies in its peer group, annual dividends, and a risk-free interest rate assumption. Compensation cost is recognized regardless of the achievement of the market conditions, provided the requisite service period is met.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on a ninety-day trading average reached $36.00, and as a result, 16,000 shares and 2,500 shares vested for Mr. Albright and Mr. Patten, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on a ninety-day trading average reached $40.00 and $46.00, and as a result, 32,000 shares and 5,500 shares vested for Mr. Albright and Mr. Patten, respectively.

As of September 30, 2014, there was approximately $23,000 of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to market condition non-vested restricted shares, which will be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 0.1 years.

Three Year Vest Restricted Shares

On January 22, 2014, the Company granted to certain employees 14,500 shares of non-vested restricted stock under the 2010 Plan. One-third of the options will vest on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, provided they are an employee of the Company on those dates. In addition, any unvested portion of the options will vest upon a change in control.

The Company’s determination of the fair value of the three year vest restricted stock awards was calculated by multiplying the number of shares issued by the Company’s stock price at the grant date, less the present value of expected dividends during the vesting period. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

As of September 30, 2014, there was approximately $402,000 of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to the three year vest non-vested restricted shares, which will be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.3 years.

Non-Qualified Stock Option Awards

Pursuant to the Non-Qualified Stock Option Award Agreements between the Company and Mr. Albright and Mr. Patten, Mr. Albright and Mr. Patten were granted options to purchase 50,000 and 10,000 shares of Company common stock, in 2011 and 2012, respectively, under the 2010 Plan with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value on their respective grant dates. One-third of the options will vest on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of their respective grant dates, provided they are an employee of the Company on those dates. In addition, any unvested portion of the options will vest upon a change in control. The options expire on the earliest of: (a) the tenth anniversary of the grant date; (b) twelve months after the employee’s death or termination for disability; or (c) thirty days after the termination of employment for any reason other than death or disability.

On January 23, 2013, the Company granted options to purchase 51,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2010 Plan to certain employees of the Company, including 10,000 shares to Mr. Patten, with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value at the date of grant. One-third of these options will vest on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, provided the recipient is an employee of the Company on those dates. Any unvested portion of the options will vest upon a change in control. The options expire on the earliest of: (a) the fifth anniversary of the grant date; (b) twelve months after the employee’s death or termination for disability; or (c) thirty days after the termination of employment for any reason other than death or disability.

The Company used the Black-Scholes valuation pricing model to determine the fair value of its non-qualified stock option awards. The determination of the fair value of the awards is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of other variables. These variables include expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, annual dividends, and a risk-free interest rate assumption.

As of September 30, 2014, there was approximately $166,000 of unrecognized compensation related to non-qualified, non-vested stock option awards, which will be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.2 years. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was approximately $102,000.

LIABILITY-CLASSIFIED STOCK COMPENSATION

The Company previously had a stock option plan (the “2001 Plan”) pursuant to which 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were eligible for issuance. The 2001 Plan expired in 2010, and no new stock options may be issued under the 2001 Plan. Under the 2001 Plan, both stock options and stock appreciation rights were issued in prior years and such issuances were deemed to be liability-classified awards under the Share-Based Payment Topic of FASB ASC.

A summary of share option activity under the 2001 Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is presented below:

In connection with the grant of non-qualified stock options, a stock appreciation right for each share covered by the option was also granted. The stock appreciation right entitles the optionee to receive a supplemental payment, which may be paid in whole or in part in cash or in shares of common stock, equal to a portion of the spread between the exercise price and the fair market value of the underlying shares at the time of exercise. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was approximately $232,000. All options had vested as of December 31, 2013.

The total intrinsic value of stock appreciation rights exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was approximately $125,000. All stock appreciation rights had vested as of December 31, 2013.

The fair value of each share option and stock appreciation right is estimated on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company and other factors. The Company has elected to use the simplified method of estimating the expected term of the options and stock appreciation rights.

Due to the small number of employees included in the 2001 Plan, the Company uses the specific identification method to estimate forfeitures and includes all participants in one group. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the share option is based on the U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the time of measurement.

The Company issues new, previously unissued, shares as options are exercised.

Following are assumptions used in determining the fair value of stock options and stock appreciation rights:

 

Assumptions at:

   September 30,
2014
    December 31,
2013
 

Expected Volatility

     35.20     23.07

Expected Dividends

     0.08     0.11

Expected Term

     2.6 years        3 years   

Risk-Free Rate

     0.78     1.21

There were no stock options or stock appreciation rights granted under the 2001 Plan in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 or 2013. The liability for stock options and stock appreciation rights, valued at fair value, reflected on the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, was approximately $428,000 and $248,000, respectively. These fair value measurements are based on Level 2 inputs based on Black-Scholes and market implied volatility. The Black-Scholes determination of fair value is affected by variables including stock price, expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, annual dividends, and a risk-free interest rate assumption.

NOTE 17. INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014, and 2013, including income taxes attributable to the discontinued operations, was 37.3% and 38.1%, respectively. The provision for income taxes reflects the Company’s estimate of the effective rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year, adjusted for any discrete events, which are reported in the period that they occur. The Company and its subsidiaries file consolidated income tax returns in the United States Federal jurisdiction and in several states. The Internal Revenue Service has audited the Company’s consolidated federal tax returns through the year 2007 and all proposed adjustments have been settled.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings, incidental to the normal course of its business. While the outcome of the legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

On November 21, 2011, the Company, Indigo Mallard Creek LLC and Indigo Development LLC, as owners of the property leased to Harris Teeter, Inc. (“Harris Teeter”) in Charlotte, North Carolina, were served with pleadings filed in the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division for Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, for a highway condemnation action involving the property. The proposed road modifications would impact access to the Company’s property that is leased to Harris Teeter. The Company does not believe the road modifications provided a basis for Harris Teeter to terminate the Lease. Regardless, in January 2013, NCDOT proposed to redesign the road modifications to keep the all access intersection open for ingress with no change to the planned limitation on egress to the right-in/right-out only. Additionally, NCDOT and the City of Charlotte proposed to build and maintain a new access road/point into the property. Both government entities have confirmed that funding is available and the redesigned project is proceeding. Harris Teeter has expressed satisfaction with the redesigned project and indicated that it will not attempt to terminate its lease if this project is built as currently redesigned. Because the redesigned project will not be completed until 2016, the condemnation case has been placed in administrative closure. As a result, the trial and mediation will not likely be scheduled until requested by the parties, most likely in 2016.

In May 2010, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court, Seventh Judicial Circuit, in and for Volusia County, Florida, in order to enforce its approximate $3.8 million claim of lien on real property owned by FM Bayberry Cove Holding, LLC (“FM Bayberry”) for its share of the costs for construction of a road. BB&T was included as a defendant as the current mortgage holder of the property subject to the Company’s lien. BB&T filed a counterclaim asserting that its mortgage is superior to the Company’s claim of lien which the Company denied. BB&T and the Company each filed motions for summary judgment as to the priority of their respective interests in the property which were heard by the court on January 12, 2012. The Circuit Court determined that the Company’s interests were superior to the lien imposed by BB&T and all other interests and a final judgment of foreclosure was subsequently entered. However, all further proceedings in the Circuit Court (including the foreclosure sale) were stayed pending BB&T’s appeal to the Florida District Court of Appeal, Fifth District (the “Appellate Court”), regarding the Circuit Court’s determination in the matter of priority. On October 29, 2013, the Appellate Court ruled in favor of the Company, affirming the Circuit Court’s determination that the Company’s lien against the approximately 600-acre parcel of residential land (lying west of I-95 near the LPGA International development and adjacent to Bayberry Colony) is superior to the lien imposed by BB&T. The judgment has accrued to over $4.6 million, including interest. The Company has not included an accrual related to interest in the consolidated financial statements. At this time, the Appellate Court’s decision is subject to possible motion for rehearing by BB&T. On December 3, 2013, the Circuit Court entered a Second Amended Final Judgment of Foreclosure in Accordance with the Appellate Court’s Mandate, which, among other things, set the date of the Company’s foreclosure sale to occur on January 29, 2014. On January 29, 2014, the Company’s approximately $4.7 million claim for unreimbursed costs and accrued interest was satisfied through the successful foreclosure of approximately 600 acres of land.

Contractual Commitments

In conjunction with the Company’s sale of approximately 3.4 acres of land to RaceTrac Petroleum, Inc. (“RaceTrac”) in December 2013, the Company agreed to reimburse RaceTrac for a portion of the costs for road improvements and the other costs associated with bringing multiple ingress/egress points to the entire 23 acre Williamson Crossing site, including the Company’s remaining 19.6 acres. The estimated cost for the improvements equals approximately $1.26 million and the Company’s commitment is to reimburse RaceTrac in an amount equal to the lesser of 77.5% of the actual costs or $976,500, and can be paid over the next five years from sales of the remaining land or at the end of the fifth year. As of September 30, 2014, the Company deposited approximately $284,000 of cash in escrow related to the improvements which is classified as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2014, the remaining maximum commitment is $693,000.

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company sold approximately 75.6 acres of land, located on the east side of Interstate 95, for the development of a distribution center. In connection with the sale, the Company is obligated to fund approximately $616,000 of certain road improvements, a portion of which will be reimbursed by the City. The amount of the reimbursement is estimated at approximately $243,000. As the costs are incurred, the Company will recognize the deferred revenue as described in Note 14 “Deferred Revenue” on a percentage-of-completion basis. The road improvements are expected to be completed in February 2015.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company is committed to fund $2.8 million of the total $6.3 million first mortgage commitment for the redevelopment of an existing vacant retail property into a Container Store in Glendale, Arizona, which is expected to open during the first quarter of 2015. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $3.5 million was funded. The remaining $2.8 million may be drawn by the borrower as construction costs are incurred.

NOTE 19. BUSINESS SEGMENT DATA

The Company primarily operates in four primary business segments: income properties, investments in commercial loans, real estate operations, and golf operations. Our income property operations consist primarily of income-producing properties and our business plan is focused on investing in additional income-producing properties. Our income property operations accounted for 67.8% and 67.1% of our identifiable assets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and 39.4% and 59.0% of our consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our commercial loan investments consisted of one loan collateralized by a hotel property in Atlanta, Georgia as of December 31, 2013. As of September 30, 2014, our commercial loan investments consisted of a fixed-rate mezzanine commercial mortgage loan collateralized by the borrower’s equity interest in a hotel property in Atlanta, Georgia, a fixed-rate first mortgage commitment for the redevelopment of an existing vacant retail property into a Container Store in Glendale, Arizona, which is expected to open during the first quarter of 2015, a variable rate B-Note secured by a retail shopping center in Sarasota, Florida, and a variable-rate mezzanine commercial mortgage loan collateralized by the borrower’s equity interest in a hotel property in Dallas, Texas. Our real estate operations primarily consist of revenues generated from land transactions and leasing and royalty income from our interests in subsurface oil, gas and mineral rights. Our golf operations consist of a single property located in the City, with two 18-hole championship golf courses, a practice facility, and clubhouse facilities, including a restaurant and bar operation, fitness facility, and pro-shop with retail merchandise. The majority of the revenues generated by our golf operations are derived from members and public customers playing golf, club memberships, and food and beverage operations.

The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products. They are managed separately because each segment requires different management techniques, knowledge, and skills.

NOTE 19. BUSINESS SEGMENT DATA (continued)

 

Operating income represents income from continuing operations before loss on early extinguishment of debt, interest expense, interest income, and income taxes. General and corporate expenses are an aggregate of general and administrative expenses, impairment charges, depreciation and amortization expense, and gains (losses) on the disposition of assets. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets that are used in the Company’s operations in each segment. Other assets consist primarily of cash, property, plant, and equipment related to the other operations, as well as the general and corporate operations. There were no transactions between segments for any of the periods presented. Certain items in the prior years’ consolidated statement of operations have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. These reclassifications had no effect on the prior year presentation of income from continuing operations before income tax.

NOTE 20. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, which amends its guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of these changes did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, which amends its guidance on the reporting of discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Under ASU 2014-08, the Company has determined that the disposal of an income property from its income property portfolio no longer qualifies as a discontinued operation. Due to the significant impact on the Company’s financial reporting, the Company has elected to early adopt ASU 2014-08, as permitted, and accordingly, income properties disposed of will no longer be classified as discontinued operations on a prospective basis.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which amends its guidance on the recognition and reporting of revenue from contracts with customers. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions to determine the potential impact, if any, the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 7, 2014, the Company acquired a Whole Foods Market Centre (the “Property”), an approximately 59,000 square-foot retail center in Sarasota, Florida for a total purchase price of approximately $19.1 million. The Property is anchored by a 36,000 square foot Whole Foods Market retail grocery store, with approximately 23,000 square-feet of additional retail space including a Starbucks retail store, and a parking garage. The Whole Foods Market portion of the property is under a long-term lease, with approximately 10 years remaining on the term, while the average lease term for the balance of the retail space is approximately 2.5 years. The property is approximately 98% occupied.

OVERVIEW

We are a diversified real estate operating company. We own and manage commercial real estate properties in ten states in the U.S., as well as five self-developed, multi-tenant, flex-office properties, located in Florida. As of September 30, 2014, we owned thirty-seven single-tenant income-producing properties, with more than 924,000 square feet of gross leasable space. We also own and manage a land portfolio of over 10,500 acres. As of September 30, 2014, we had four commercial loan investments including a fixed-rate mezzanine commercial mortgage loan collateralized by the borrower’s equity interest in a hotel property in Atlanta, Georgia, a fixed-rate first mortgage commitment for the redevelopment of an existing vacant retail property into a Container Store in Glendale, Arizona, which is expected to open during the first quarter of 2015, a variable-rate B-Note secured by a retail shopping center in Sarasota, Florida, and a variable-rate mezzanine commercial mortgage loan collateralized by the borrower’s equity interest in a hotel property in Dallas, Texas. Our golf operations consist of the LPGA International golf club, which is managed by a third party. We also lease property for twenty-one billboards, have agricultural operations that are managed by a third party, which consists of leasing land for hay and sod production, timber harvesting, and hunting leases, and own and manage subsurface interests. The results of our agricultural and subsurface leasing operations are included in Agriculture and Other Income and Real Estate Operations, respectively, in our consolidated statements of operations.

Income Property Operations. We have pursued a strategy of investing in income-producing properties, when possible by utilizing the proceeds from real estate transactions qualifying for income tax deferral through like-kind exchange treatment for tax purposes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company acquired two income properties at a total purchase price of approximately $20.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company acquired nine income properties at a total purchase price of approximately $39.5 million.

Our current portfolio of thirty-seven single-tenant income properties generates approximately $13.5 million of revenues from lease payments on an annualized basis and had an average remaining lease term of 9.7 years as of September 30, 2014. We expect to continue to focus on acquiring additional income-producing properties during fiscal year 2014, and in the near term thereafter, maintaining our use of the aforementioned tax deferral structure whenever possible.

As part of our overall strategy for investing in income-producing investments, we have self-developed five multi-tenant, flex-office properties in Daytona Beach, Florida. The first self-developed property is the first phase of a twelve-acre commercial site located at the northeast corner of LPGA and Williamson Boulevards in Daytona Beach, Florida. The parcel includes an approximately 22,000 square-foot, two-story, building, known as the Concierge Office Building, which was 100% leased as of September 30, 2014. The second two properties, known as the Mason Commerce Center, consist of two buildings totaling approximately 31,000 square-feet (15,360 each). As of September 30, 2014, the combined occupancy of the two properties which make up the Mason Commerce Center was approximately 94%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, construction was completed on two additional properties, known as Williamson Business Park, which are adjacent to the Mason Commerce Center. Williamson Business Park consists of two buildings totaling approximately 31,000 square-feet (15,360 each). As of September 30, 2014, the combined occupancy of the two properties which make up Williamson Business Park was approximately 25%. As of September 30, 2014, on an annualized basis, our self-developed, multi-tenant, flex-office property portfolio generated approximately $980,000 of revenue from lease payments.

Our focus on acquiring income-producing investments includes a continual review of our existing income property portfolio to identify opportunities to recycle our capital through the sale of non-core income properties based on, among other possible factors, the current or expected performance of the property and favorable market conditions. Pursuant to our ongoing review, five income-producing properties were disposed of during the year ended December 31, 2013; three of which were disposed of during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. All of the proceeds from these disposals were deployed through the like-kind exchange structure, in acquiring certain of the income properties we purchased in 2013.

No income-producing properties were disposed of during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. However, the 14,560 square-foot building located in Apopka, Florida, which is leased to Walgreens was presented as assets held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 as the property is under contract and considered highly probable to close. The Company anticipates that future investments in income-producing assets could include deploying proceeds from selling non-core properties, utilizing the tax-deferred like-kind exchange structure, as circumstances permit.

Real Estate Operations. As of September 30, 2014, the Company owned over 10,500 acres of land in Daytona, Beach, Florida, along nine miles of the west and east side of Interstate 95. Until the significant downturn in the U.S. economy in 2008, the Company’s land transaction activity was reasonably strong. During 2009, however, land transactions decreased significantly, and in fiscal years 2010 and 2011, there were effectively no land transactions. We believe the trend in Company revenues and income from real estate operations during this period were consistent with the overall trend of the national and local economies and the real estate markets in general. Over the last several years, roads and interstate overpasses have been constructed, extended, or improved in the Daytona Beach area, which we believe will benefit Company owned land and may have a positive impact on future activity and interest in our land assets.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company sold approximately 3.1 acres to Halifax Humane Society, Inc. for $391,500, or approximately $128,000 per acre, for a gain of approximately $347,000. This parcel is located on LPGA Boulevard, just west of I-95 in Daytona Beach, Florida and is adjacent to an existing property owned by Halifax Humane Society, Inc. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company sold approximately 75.6 acres of land, located on the east side of Interstate 95, to a distribution center for approximately $7.8 million, or approximately $103,000 per acre, for a gain at closing of approximately $3.9 million with an additional gain of approximately $324,000 to be recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis as certain road improvements are completed through the estimated completion date of February 2015. In addition, the Company expects to receive payments totaling approximately $1.1 million in late 2015 from Volusia County, based upon certain milestones being achieved including when the distribution center receives its certificate of occupancy and the dates when specified numbers of jobs have been created at the buyer’s operations. Although there can be no assurances that the Company will receive the $1.1 million, such payments would bring the total gain on the sale to approximately $5.3 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were no land transactions.

The Company owns impact fee and mitigation credits which, in aggregate, totaled approximately $5.6 million and $6.1 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company received cash payments of approximately $260,000 and $181,000 for impact fees with a basis of equal value. Additionally, the Company utilized approximately $46,000 of impact fees in the construction of the two flex-office buildings known as Williamson Business Park. Cash payments received for the conveyance of impact fee credits are not reflected as revenue in our consolidated statements of operations. In conjunction with the sale of approximately 75.6 acres of land to a distribution center, the Company utilized approximately eight mitigation credits with a basis of approximately $127,000 which increased the basis of the property sold and reduced the mitigation credit asset as of September 30, 2014.

Historical revenues and income in our real estate operations are not indicative of future results because of the unique nature of land transactions and the time required to complete such transactions, and variations in the cost basis of the owned land. A significant portion of the Company’s revenue and income in any given year may be generated through relatively large land transactions. The timing for these land transactions, from the time of preliminary discussions through contract negotiations, due diligence periods, and the closing, can last from several months to several years. Although we believe there have been recent signals of improvement in the overall economy and credit markets, we expect the overall real estate market, particularly home building, will remain inconsistent in the near term, and as a result, we believe our ability to enter into land transactions will remain challenging.

During the nine months ended September 2014, no impairment charges were recognized related to our land holdings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 the Company recognized an impairment loss of approximately $616,000 on approximately 6.23 acres which was based on the contract price in a transaction that had been executed during that period for approximately 3.21 acres of the total 6.23 acres assessed for impairment. That transaction was terminated prior to closing, however, on December 20, 2013, the Company sold the approximately 6.23 acres to CarMax Auto Super Stores, Inc. for $1.05 million, or approximately $168,500 per acre. The basis in these acres was higher than is typical for the Company’s land holdings as this land had been reacquired through foreclosure in 2009.

Subsurface Interests. The Company owns full or fractional subsurface oil, gas, and mineral interests in approximately 490,000 “surface” acres of land owned by others in 20 counties in Florida. The Company leases its interests to mineral exploration firms for exploration and drilling. Our subsurface operations consist of revenue from the leasing of exploration rights and in some instances revenues from royalties generated from oil production from the leased acreage. The Company also received oil royalties from operating oil wells on 800 acres under a separate lease with a separate operator for revenues of approximately $38,000 and $86,000, during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Oil royalties received during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 totaled approximately $167,000 and $231,000, respectively.

During 2011, an eight-year oil exploration lease covering approximately 136,000 net mineral acres primarily located in Lee County and Hendry County, Florida was executed and an approximate $914,000 first year rental payment was received. An additional approximate $922,000, representing the guaranteed payment for the second year’s delay rent, was received in September 2012. The two payments totaling approximately $1.8 million have been recognized ratably into income through September 2013. On September 22, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment of the exploration lease (the “Oil Lease Amendment”). Under the Oil Lease Amendment, the net mineral acres under exploration lease was reduced from approximately 136,000 net mineral acres to approximately 82,000 net mineral acres in Hendry County, Florida. The approximately 54,000 net mineral acres removed from the exploration lease were located in Lee County, Florida. In connection with the Oil Lease Amendment, the Company received an approximate $3.3 million rent payment for the third year of the Company’s eight-year oil exploration lease. The payment was recognized ratably over the 12 month lease period ending in September 2014. Also during September 2013, the Company received, and recognized as revenue, a non-refundable penalty payment of $1.0 million relating to the drilling requirements in the lease. During September 2014, the Company received an approximate $1.9 million rent payment for the adjusted acreage of 42,000 acres for fourth year of the Company’s eight-year exploration lease, which is being recognized ratably over the 12 month lease period ending in September 2015. Also during September 2014, the Company received, and recognized as revenue, a non-refundable penalty payment of $600,000 relating to drilling requirements in the lease. The terms of the lease state the Company will receive royalty payments if production occurs and may receive additional annual rental payments if the lease is continued in years four through eight.

Lease income generated by the Oil Lease Amendment is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the guaranteed lease term. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, lease income of approximately $799,000 and $283,000 was recognized, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, lease income of approximately $2.4 million and $738,000 was recognized, respectively. There can be no assurance that the Oil Lease Amendment will be extended beyond the expiration of the current term of September 2015 or, if renewed, on similar terms or conditions.

The Company’s current policy is to not release any ownership rights with respect to its reserved mineral rights. The Company may release surface entry rights or other rights upon request of a surface owner who requires such a release for a negotiated release fee based on a percentage of the surface value. Such revenue from surface entry rights released totaled approximately $4,000 and $42,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, none of which was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2014 or 2013. Such revenue is included in Revenue from Real Estate Operations in our consolidated statements of operations.

Golf Operations. Golf operations consist of the LPGA International golf club, a semi-private golf club consisting of two 18-hole championship golf courses, designed by Rees Jones and Arthur Hills, a three-hole practice facility, also designed by Rees Jones, a clubhouse facility, food and beverage operations, and a fitness facility located within the LPGA International mixed-use residential community on the west side of Interstate 95 in Daytona Beach, Florida. During the 2012 and 2013 fiscal years, we completed approximately $534,000 of capital expenditures to renovate the clubhouse facilities, including a significant upgrade of the food and beverage operations, to add a fitness facility, and make other renovations to public areas.

The Company leases the land and certain improvements attributable to the golf courses under a long-term lease with the City of Daytona Beach, Florida (the “City”). The Company entered into a management agreement with an affiliate of ClubCorp America, effective January 25, 2012, to manage the LPGA International golf and clubhouse facilities. We believe ClubCorp, which owns and operates clubs and golf courses worldwide, brings substantial golf and club management expertise and knowledge to the LPGA International golf operations, including the utilization of national marketing capabilities, aggregated purchasing programs, and implementation of an affiliate membership program, which has improved, and is expected to continue to improve, membership levels through the access to other member clubs in ClubCorp’s affiliate program.

In July 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with the City to, among other things, amend the lease payments under its golf course lease (the “Lease Amendment”). Under the Amendment, the base rent payment, which was scheduled to increase from $250,000 to $500,000 as of September 1, 2012, will remain at $250,000 for the remainder of the lease term and any extensions would be subject to an annual rate increase of 1.75% beginning September 1, 2013. The Company also agreed to invest $200,000 prior to September 1, 2015 for certain improvements to the facilities. In addition, pursuant to the Lease Amendment, beginning September 1, 2012, and continuing throughout the initial lease term and any extension option, the Company will pay additional rent to the City equal to 5.0% of gross revenues exceeding $5,500,000 and 7.0% of gross revenues exceeding $6,500,000. Since the inception of the lease, the Company has recognized the rent expense on a straight-line basis resulting in an estimated accrual for deferred rent. Upon the effective date of the Lease Amendment, the Company’s straight-line rent was revised to reflect the lower rent levels through expiration of the lease. As a result, approximately $3.0 million of the rent previously deferred will not be due to the City, and will be recognized into income over the remaining lease term, which expires in 2022. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $2.2 million of the rent, previously deferred that will not be due to the City, remained to be amortized through September 2022.

Commercial Loan Investments. Our investment in commercial loans or similar structured finance investments, such as mezzanine loans or other subordinated debt, has been and will continue to be secured by commercial real estate or a borrower’s pledge of its ownership interest in the entity that owns the real estate. In the future, we may invest in or originate mortgage loans secured by residential real estate developments. The first mortgage loans we have invested in and expect to continue to invest in or originate will typically be for fully constructed commercial real estate, located in the United States and that are current or performing with either a fixed or floating rate. However, we have invested in and may continue to invest in construction loans secured by the commercial or residential real estate being developed and the underlying land. Some of these loans may be syndicated in either a pari-passu or senior/subordinated structure. Commercial first mortgage loans generally provide for a higher recovery rate due to their senior position. Commercial mezzanine loans are typically secured by a pledge of the borrower’s equity ownership in the underlying commercial real estate. Unlike a mortgage, these loans do not represent a lien on the property. Investor’s rights in a mezzanine loan are usually governed by an intercreditor agreement that provides holders with the rights to cure defaults and exercise control on certain decisions of any senior debt secured by the same commercial property. We may originate mortgage loans or provide other types of financing to the owners of commercial real estate.

On August 7, 2013, the Company acquired a $19.6 million first mortgage loan secured by a hotel in Atlanta, Georgia, for approximately $17.5 million, a discount of approximately $2.05 million. The discount was being accreted into income ratably through the contractual maturity date in March 2014, which was included in Interest Income from Commercial Loan Investments in the consolidated financial statements. On January 6, 2014, the remaining commercial mortgage loan principal of $19.5 million was paid in full. The total revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which was recognized entirely during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, was approximately $844,000 including the remaining accretion of the purchase discount of approximately $650,000, interest income of approximately $36,000, and an exit fee of approximately $195,000, offset by the remaining amortization of fees of approximately $37,000. The total revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which was recognized entirely during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, was approximately $644,000 including accretion of the purchase discount of approximately $527,000 and interest income of approximately $137,000, offset by approximately $20,000 of amortization of loan origination fees.

On January 31, 2014, the Company acquired a mezzanine loan secured by the borrower’s equity interest in an upper upscale hotel in Atlanta, Georgia, that was previously subject to the Company’s first commercial mortgage loan investment. The Company purchased the $5.0 million performing loan at par. The loan matures in February 2019 and bears a fixed interest rate of 12.00% per annum. Interest income recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was approximately $405,000, with approximately $153,000 recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2014.

On May 16, 2014, the Company funded approximately $3.1 million of a $6.3 million first mortgage commitment for the redevelopment of an existing vacant retail property into a Container Store located in Glendale, Arizona, which is expected to open during the first quarter of 2015. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, approximately $431,000 in draws were funded by the Company, leaving a remaining commitment of approximately $2.8 million, which may be drawn by the borrower as construction costs are incurred. The loan matures in November 2015, includes one nine-month extension option, and bears a fixed interest rate of 6.00% per annum. At closing, a loan origination fee of approximately $79,000 was received by the Company, and is being accreted ratably into income through the contractual maturity date in November 2015. Total interest revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was approximately $57,000 and $84,000, respectively.

On May 20, 2014, the Company acquired an approximate $9.0 million B-Note secured by a retail shopping center located in Sarasota, Florida. The loan matures in June 2015, includes three one-year extension options, and bears a floating interest rate of 30-day Libor plus 725 basis points. The loan is subordinate to an approximately $48.0 million A-Note collateralized by the same property, for a total debt balance of $57.0 million. Interest revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was approximately $170,000 and $247,000, respectively.

On September 30, 2014, the Company acquired a mezzanine loan secured by the borrower’s equity interest in an upper upscale hotel in Dallas, Texas. The Company purchased the $10.0 million performing loan at par. The loan matures in September 2016 and bears a floating interest rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 725 basis points. The loan is junior to a $64.0 million first mortgage on the hotel in Dallas, Texas. Interest revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was approximately $2,000.

Agriculture and Other Income. Substantially all of our other income consists of revenues generated by our agricultural operations. The Company’s agricultural lands encompass approximately 10,300 acres in Daytona Beach, Florida. Our agricultural operations are managed by a third-party and consist of leasing land for hay production, timber harvesting, as well as hunting leases. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company executed a timber contract on approximately 403 acres which has generated approximately $162,000 of revenue during the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

SUMMARY OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 COMPARED TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 increased 122.8% to approximately $14.1 million, compared to approximately $6.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The increase of approximately $7.8 million included approximately $566,000 of additional rent revenue generated by our income property portfolio, particularly from our acquisitions in 2013 and 2014, approximately $7.3 million of increased revenue from our real estate operations and an increase of approximately $162,000 in revenue from our agriculture operations reflected in agriculture and other income. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, was approximately $3.5 million, or $0.60 per share, versus net income of approximately $1.2 million, or $0.22 per share in the same period in 2013. Contributing to the increase in net income of approximately $2.2 million were the after tax results of the aforementioned increases in our revenues of approximately $7.8 million net of the increase in direct costs of those revenues of approximately $3.3 million further offset by increases in our depreciation and amortization of approximately $154,000 attributable to our larger income property portfolio, increased interest expense of approximately $59,000, and increased general and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $299,000, with such increase primarily reflecting an increase in our stock compensation costs of approximately $169,000. Our increased net income was also offset by an impairment charge of approximately $421,000 which related to the expected sale of an income property we had under contract and classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2014.

INCOME PROPERTIES

Revenues and operating income from our income property operations totaled approximately $3.9 million and $3.4 million, respectively, during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, compared to total revenue and operating income of approximately $3.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The direct costs of revenues for our income property operations totaled approximately $457,000 and $427,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The 17.2% increase in revenues during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 reflects our expanded portfolio of income properties. Our increased operating income from our income property operations reflects increased rent revenues offset by an increase of approximately $30,000 in our direct costs of revenues.

REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS

During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, operating income from real estate operations was approximately $5.2 million on revenues totaling approximately $8.6 million, an increase of approximately $4.0 million in operating income as compared to the same period in 2013. For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, operating income was approximately $1.2 million on revenues totaling approximately $1.4 million. The increase in revenue of approximately $7.3 million and operating income of approximately $4.0 million is primarily attributable to a land transaction for approximately 75.6 acres which generated revenues of approximately $7.2 million and a gain of approximately $3.9 million. During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, there were no land transactions.

GOLF OPERATIONS

Revenues from golf operations totaled approximately $995,000 and $981,000 for the quarters ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The total direct cost of golf operations revenues totaled approximately $1.310 million and $1.321 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company’s golf operations had a net operating loss of approximately $315,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, representing a 7.4% improvement over the net operating loss of approximately $340,000 in the same period of 2013. The approximate $25,000 improvement in the net operating results from the golf operations was primarily due to increased revenues despite reduced golf rounds played as a result of adverse weather conditions, specifically an increase of nearly 37.4% in rain levels during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. The improved revenues primarily reflected the increase in our memberships, which were impacted favorably by the addition of the fitness facility.

INTEREST INCOME FROM COMMERCIAL LOAN INVESTMENTS

Interest income from our commercial loan investments totaled approximately $382,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to approximately $644,000 in the same period in 2013. The interest income in the quarter ended September 30, 2014 reflected approximately $153,000 of interest earned from the mezzanine loan acquired in January 2014 at a fixed interest rate of 12% per annum, approximately $227,000 in interest from our loan investments completed in the second quarter of 2014, and approximately $2,000 from our loan acquired on September 30, 2014. The interest income in the same period in 2013 was from the Company’s investment in a single first mortgage loan on an upper upscale hotel in Atlanta, Georgia including the accretion of the approximate $2.0 million discount.

AGRICULTURE AND OTHER INCOME

For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, revenues from agriculture and other income, primarily our agriculture operations, totaled approximately $183,000, compared to approximately $21,000 in the same period in 2013, an increase of approximately $162,000 or 776.6%. The increased revenues are due to additional timber harvesting during the quarter ended September 30, 2014. For the quarters ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the direct cost of revenues totaled approximately $34,000.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE AND OTHER CORPORATE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses totaled approximately $1.5 million and $1.2 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of approximately $299,000 or 24.8%. The increase in the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was primarily comprised of an increase in our stock compensation costs of approximately $169,000.

Interest expense totaled approximately $569,000 and $510,000 for the quarters ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increased interest expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same quarter in 2013, reflects our increased net borrowings to finance our acquisitions of income properties and investments in commercial loans.

During the twelve month period ending September 30, 2014, our long-term debt increased approximately $14.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company received the principal payoff of the previously held commercial first mortgage loan investment, of which $18.0 million of the proceeds were used to pay down the outstanding balance of the Company’s revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). Also, included in interest expense in the consolidated financial statements is the amortization of loan costs incurred in connection with the Company’s long-term debt. For the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the amortization of loan costs totaled approximately $64,000 and $54,000, respectively.

SUMMARY OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 COMPARED TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased 71.4% to approximately $27.4 million, compared to approximately $16.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase of approximately $11.4 million included an approximate $1.4 million of additional rent revenue generated by our income property portfolio, particularly from our acquisitions in 2013 and 2014, approximately $938,000 of income generated by our commercial loan investments, approximately $8.9 million of increased revenue from our real estate operations, and an increase in revenue from our combined golf operations and agriculture and other income of approximately $195,000. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was approximately $5.7 million, or $0.99 per share, versus net income of approximately $1.8 million, or $0.32 per share in same period in 2013. Contributing to the increase in net income of approximately $3.9 million were the after tax results of the aforementioned increases in our revenues of approximately $11.4 million net of the increase in direct costs of those revenues of approximately $3.5 million offset further by increases in our depreciation and amortization of approximately $377,000 attributable to our larger income property portfolio, increased interest expense of approximately $239,000 and increased general and administrative expenses, which increased by approximately $341,000, due primarily to an increase in stock compensation expenses of approximately $169,000. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 also reflected an impairment charge of approximately $421,000 relating to an income property classified as held for sale compared to an impairment charge of approximately $616,000 during the second quarter of 2013, relating to approximately 6.23 acres of land sold in December 2013, a difference of approximately $195,000.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

INCOME PROPERTIES

Revenues and operating income from our income property operations totaled approximately $10.8 million and $9.5 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to total revenue and operating income of approximately $9.4 million and $8.4 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The direct costs of revenues for our income property operations totaled approximately $1.3 million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The 14.6% increase in revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 reflects our expanded portfolio of income properties. Our increased operating income from our income property operations reflects increased rent revenues offset by an increase of approximately $242,000 in our direct costs of revenues, which was due primarily to an increase in the transaction costs in connection with our 2014 acquisitions, as compared to our 2013 acquisitions, and the expensing of costs related to acquisitions we are no longer pursuing.

REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, operating income from real estate operations was approximately $7.2 million on revenues totaling approximately $10.9 million, an increase of approximately $5.6 million in operating income, as compared to the same period in 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, operating income was approximately $1.5 million on revenues totaling approximately $2.0 million. The increase in revenue and operating income from our real estate operations was primarily attributable to two land transactions, one closed in August 2014 for approximately 75.6 acres which generated revenues of approximately $7.2 million and the second closed in February 2014 for approximately 3.06 acres which generated approximately $392,000 in revenues. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were no land transactions.

GOLF OPERATIONS

Revenues from golf operations totaled approximately $3.844 million and $3.759 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Total direct cost of golf operations revenues totaled approximately $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The Company’s golf operations operating loss was approximately $311,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, representing a 21.5% improvement over the net operating loss of approximately $396,000 in the same period of 2013. The improved operating results reflected increased revenues from our memberships, which were impacted favorably by the addition of the fitness facility and offset by reduced revenues for golf and related food and beverage reflecting reduced golf rounds played as a result of adverse weather conditions, specifically an increase of nearly 40.9% in rain levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013.

INTEREST INCOME FROM COMMERCIAL LOAN INVESTMENTS

Interest income from our commercial loan investments totaled approximately $1.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $644,000 for the same period in 2013, an increase of 145.5%. Specifically, interest income on the commercial mortgage loan acquired in August 2013, and paid in full in January 2014, totaled approximately $844,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, including the remaining accretion of the purchase discount of approximately $650,000, interest income of approximately $36,000, and an exit fee of approximately $195,000, offset by the remaining amortization of fees of approximately $37,000. The mezzanine loan acquired in January 2014 at a fixed interest rate of 12% per annum contributed interest income of approximately $405,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and we recognized approximately $331,000 in interest from our loan investments completed in the second quarter of 2014. The interest income in the same period in 2013 was entirely from the commercial mortgage loan acquired in August 2013.

AGRICULTURE AND OTHER INCOME

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, revenues from agriculture and other income, primarily our agriculture operations, totaled approximately $258,000, compared to approximately $149,000 in the same period in 2013, an increase of 73.2%. The increase in revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was primarily attributable to revenues realized from additional timber harvesting during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the direct cost of revenues totaled approximately $145,000, compared to approximately $120,000, in the same period in 2013, reflecting an increase of approximately $25,000.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE AND OTHER CORPORATE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses totaled approximately $4.6 million and $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase is comprised primarily of stock compensation expense which totaled approximately $1.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to approximately $853,000 in the same period in 2013, an increase of approximately 19.9% due to our increased stock price and additional grants during January 2014. In addition, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 reflect an accrual related to environmental monitoring of approximately $110,000 and service costs related to our information systems.

Interest expense totaled approximately $1.6 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increased interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same quarter in 2013, reflects our increased net borrowings to finance our acquisitions of income properties and investments in commercial loans. During the twelve month period ending September 30, 2014, our long-term debt increased approximately $14.5 million. Also, included in interest expense in the consolidated financial statements is the amortization of loan costs incurred in connection with the Company’s long-term debt. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the amortization of loan costs totaled approximately $174,000 and $148,000, respectively.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

No income properties were disposed of during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. However, the 14,560 square-foot building located in Apopka, Florida, which is leased to Walgreens was presented as assets held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 as the property is under contract and considered highly probable to close.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company sold its interest in three properties for a combined gain of approximately $531,000. Upon the sales, the properties’ operating results were included in discontinued operations for each period presented.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and equivalents totaled approximately $2.2 million at September 30, 2014, excluding restricted cash. Restricted cash totaled approximately $1.4 million, of which approximately $550,000 pertains to an escrow for capital improvements of a certain income property in the portfolio of properties that secures our $30.0 million fixed-rate mortgage loan with Wells Fargo. Approximately $322,000 is being held in a reserve primarily for property taxes and insurance escrows in connection with our financing of two properties acquired in January 2013, approximately $284,000 is being held in escrow related to a land transaction which closed in December 2013, and approximately $270,000 pertains to reserves in connection with our investment in a construction loan. Cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $4.9 million at December 31, 2013, excluding restricted cash.

Our total cash balance at September 30, 2014 reflects cash flows provided by our operating activities totaling approximately $9.9 million, during the nine months then ended, compared to the prior year’s cash flows provided by operating activities, in the same period, totaling approximately $8.4 million. The increase in our cash flows from operations of approximately $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is primarily due to the approximate $3.9 million increase in net income offset primarily by an increase in other assets relating to loan costs on our financings in 2014, transaction deposits, and the decrease in deferred revenue.

Our cash flows used in investing activities totaled approximately $30.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, reflecting the use of approximately $27.4 million to acquire four commercial loan investments and approximately $21.9 million to acquire two income properties offset by the principal payoff of the previous commercial first mortgage loan investment of approximately $19.5 million.

Our cash flows provided by financing activities totaled approximately $18.1 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily related to the $30.0 million funding received from our fixed-rate mortgage loan of six income properties with Wells Fargo, offset by net payments on our Credit Facility of approximately $12.0 million, as well as cash used to repurchase our common stock totaling approximately $928,000, offset by approximately $870,000 in proceeds from the exercise of stock options by our employees.

Our long-term debt balance totaled approximately $81.2 million at September 30, 2014, representing an increase of approximately $18.0 million from the balance of approximately $63.2 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in the long-term debt was primarily due to additional borrowings to fund the acquisition of two income properties and four commercial loan investments, offset by the payoff of the previously held commercial first mortgage loan investment.

Dispositions. No income properties were disposed of during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

Credit Facility. On August 1, 2014 the Company executed the third amendment of the Company’s unsecured Credit Facility. As amended the Credit Facility has a borrowing capacity to $75.0 million with the ability to increase that capacity up to $125.0 million during the term and a maturity date of August 1, 2018. The indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility accrues interest at a rate ranging from the 30-day London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 135 basis points to the 30-day LIBOR plus 200 basis points based on the total balance outstanding under the Credit Facility as a percentage of the total asset value of the Company as defined in the Credit Facility. The third amendment also adjusted a number of the restrictive covenants and maintenance covenants in the Credit Facility, primarily to provide the Company with increased flexibility in its investment activities. The Company paid a fee for increasing the borrowing commitment level pursuant to the credit facility terms. The Credit Facility also accrues a fee of 20 to 25 basis points for any unused portion of the borrowing capacity based on whether the unused portion is greater or less than 50% of the total borrowing capacity. The Credit Facility is unsecured and is guaranteed by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Credit Facility bank group is led by Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) and also includes Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Branch Banking & Trust Company. The Credit Facility is subject to customary restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations on the Company’s ability to: (a) incur indebtedness; (b) make certain investments; (c) incur certain liens; (d) engage in certain affiliate transactions; and (e) engage in certain major transactions such as mergers. In addition, the Company is subject to various financial maintenance covenants, including, but not limited to, a maximum indebtedness ratio, a maximum secured indebtedness ratio, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Agreement also contains affirmative covenants and events of default, including, but not limited to, a cross default to the Company’s other indebtedness and upon the occurrence of a change of control. The Company’s failure to comply with these covenants or the occurrence of an event of default could result in acceleration of the Company’s debt and other financial obligations under the Agreement.

Mortgage Notes Payable. On February 22, 2013, the Company closed on a $7.3 million loan with UBS Real Estate Securities Inc., secured by its interest in the two-building office complex leased to Hilton Resorts Corporation, which was acquired on January 31, 2013. The new mortgage loan matures in February 2018, carries a fixed rate of interest of 3.655% per annum, and requires payments of interest only prior to maturity.

On March 8, 2013, the Company closed on a $23.1 million loan with Bank of America, N.A., secured by its interest in fourteen income properties. The new mortgage loan matures in April 2023, carries a fixed rate of 3.67% per annum, and requires payments of interest only prior to maturity.

On September 30, 2014, the Company closed on a $30.0 million loan originated with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., secured by its interest in six income properties. The mortgage loan matures in October 2034, and carries a fixed rate of 4.33% per annum during the first ten years of the term, and requires payments of interest only during the first ten years of the loan. After the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the loan the cash flows generated by the underlying six income properties must be used to pay down the principal balance of the loan until paid off or until the loan matures. The loan is fully pre-payable after the tenth anniversary date of the effective date of the loan.

Acquisitions and Investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company acquired two income properties at a total purchase price of approximately $20.0 million and four commercial loan investments for approximately $30.3 million including a $6.3 million first mortgage commitment for the redevelopment of an existing vacant retail property into a Container Store located in Glendale, Arizona, which is expected to open during the first quarter of 2015 and for which the Company had funded approximately $3.5 million as of September 30, 2014. While the aggregate amount of our acquisitions and investments through September 30, 2014 is approximately equal to the level we anticipated for 2014, we may make additional investments in income-producing properties or investments in loans secured by commercial real estate during the remainder of 2014. We would expect to fund these acquisitions and investments utilizing the available capacity under our Credit Facility, other financings, cash from operations, proceeds from the dispositions of non-core income properties or transactions in our land assets, which we expect will qualify under the like-kind exchange deferred-tax structure, and additional funding sources.

We expect to fund these acquisitions and investments utilizing the available capacity under our Credit Facility, other financings, cash from operations, proceeds from the dispositions of non-core income properties or transactions in our land assets, which we expect will qualify under the like-kind exchange deferred-tax structure, and additional funding sources.

Capital Expenditures. In conjunction with the Company’s sale of approximately 3.4 acres of land to RaceTrac in December 2013, the Company agreed to reimburse RaceTrac for a portion of the costs for road improvements and the other costs associated with bringing multiple ingress/egress points to the entire 23 acre Williamson Crossing site, including the Company’s remaining 19.6 acres. The estimated cost for the improvements equals approximately $1.26 million and the Company’s commitment is to reimburse RaceTrac in an amount equal to the lesser of 77.5% of the actual costs or $976,500. The Company’s commitment to fund the improvement costs benefiting the remaining acres of Company land can be paid over the next five years from sales of the remaining land or at the end of the fifth year. As of December 31, 2013, the Company deposited $283,500 of cash in escrow related to the improvements which is classified as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2014, the remaining maximum commitment is $693,000.

In connection with the acquisition of the Lowes on April 22, 2014, the Company was credited approximately $651,000 at closing for certain required tenant improvements, some of which are not required to be completed until December 2016. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $100,000 of these tenant improvements had been completed and funded leaving a remaining commitment of approximately $551,000 at September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, we have no other contractual requirements to make capital expenditures.

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company sold approximately 75.6 acres of land, located on the east side of Interstate 95, for the development of a distribution center. In connection with the sale, the Company is obligated to fund approximately $616,000 of certain road improvements, a portion of which will be reimbursed by the City. The amount of the reimbursement is estimated at approximately $243,000. As the costs are incurred, the Company will recognize the deferred revenue as described in Note 14 “Deferred Revenue” on a percentage-of-completion basis. The road improvements are expected to be completed in February 2015.

We believe we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations, capital requirements, and debt service requirements over the next twelve months and into the foreseeable future, with cash flow from our operations and approximately $54.2 million of available capacity on the existing $75.0 million Credit Facility, subject to the borrowing base requirements, as of September 30, 2014.

On April 26, 2012, the Company announced a voluntary Odd-Lot Buy-Back Program (the “Program”), whereby the Company offered to purchase shares from shareholders who owned less than 100 shares of the Company’s common stock as of April 26, 2012 for $31.00 per share. The Program reflected the Company’s interest in reducing the ongoing costs associated with shareholder recordkeeping and communications and to assist shareholders who may be deterred from selling their small lots of stock due to the costs that would be incurred. The Company paid all costs associated with the Program and purchased 14,634 shares under the Program at a total cost of approximately $454,000. The Program expired September 30, 2012. The Company did not provide any recommendation regarding shareholder participation and the decision was entirely that of each shareholder as to whether to sell shares in this Program.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase shares of our common stock having an aggregate value of up to $8,000,000. The authorization permits us to effect repurchases from time to time through a variety of methods including open market repurchases and privately negotiated transactions. Through September 30, 2014, 30,496 shares had been repurchased at a total cost of approximately $1.0 million with repurchase of 25,836 shares at a total cost of approximately $928,000 occurring during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The shares repurchased in 2014 are being held in treasury, whereas, the 4,660 shares repurchased in 2009 were treated as cancelled shares.

Our Board of Directors and management consistently review the allocation of capital with the goal of providing the best long-term return for our shareholders. These reviews consider various alternatives, including increasing or decreasing regular dividends, repurchasing stock, and retaining funds for reinvestment.

Annually, the Board reviews our business plan and corporate strategies and makes adjustments as circumstances warrant. Management’s focus is to continue to execute on our strategy, which is to diversify our portfolio by redeploying proceeds from like-kind exchange transactions and utilizing our credit facility to increase our portfolio of income-producing properties, to provide stabilized cash flows with good risk adjusted returns primarily in larger metropolitan areas.

We may also utilize our low-leveraged balance sheet to invest in ground leases, loans, securities, and other shorter term investments. Targeted investment classes include the following:

 

    Retail and office double or triple-net leased properties in major metropolitan areas;

 

    Stabilized multi-tenant office and retail properties in major metropolitan areas;

 

    Select office, flex-office, industrial, and retail self-developed properties on Company owned land;

 

    Joint venture development using Company owned land;

 

    Origination or purchase of 1 to 10 year term loans on favorable risk-adjusted yields with property types to include hotel, office, retail, and industrial;

 

    Origination or purchase of short-term development loans on favorable risk-adjusted yields with property types to include commercial and residential asset types;

 

    Real estate related investment securities, including commercial mortgage backed securities, preferred stock, and bonds;

 

    Select regional area investments using Company market knowledge and expertise to earn good risk adjusted yields; and

 

    Purchase or origination of ground leases.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2013. Judgments and estimates of uncertainties are required in applying our accounting policies in many areas. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, there have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies affecting the application of those accounting policies as noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

The principal market risk to which we are exposed is interest rates. The objective of our asset management activities is to provide an adequate level of liquidity to fund operations and capital expansion, while minimizing market risk. We do not believe that this interest rate risk related to cash equivalents and short-term investments is material due to the nature of the investments.

We are primarily exposed to interest rate risk on our outstanding debt borrowings, which totaled approximately $81.2 million at September 30, 2014. Our borrowings include approximately $20.8 million outstanding on our $75.0 million revolving credit facility, which bears a variable rate of interest based on the 30-day LIBOR and our level of borrowing as a percentage of our total asset value. Approximately $60.4 million of our outstanding debt bears interest at a weighted average fixed rate of 4.00%. Management’s objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower the overall borrowing costs. A hypothetical change in the interest rate of 100 basis points (i.e., 1%) would affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows by approximately $208,000.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation, as required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2014, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings, incidental to the normal course of its business. While the outcome of the legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

On November 21, 2011, the Company, Indigo Mallard Creek LLC and Indigo Development LLC, as owners of the property leased to Harris Teeter, Inc. (“Harris Teeter”) in Charlotte, North Carolina, were served with pleadings filed in the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division for Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, for a highway condemnation action involving the property. The proposed road modifications would impact access to the Company’s property that is leased to Harris Teeter. The Company does not believe the road modifications provided a basis for Harris Teeter to terminate the Lease. Regardless, in January 2013, NCDOT proposed to redesign the road modifications to keep the all access intersection open for ingress with no change to the planned limitation on egress to the right-in/right-out only. Additionally, NCDOT and the City of Charlotte proposed to build and maintain a new access road/point into the property. Both government entities have confirmed that funding is available and the redesigned project is proceeding. Harris Teeter has expressed satisfaction with the redesigned project and indicated that it will not attempt to terminate its lease if this project is built as currently redesigned. Because the redesigned project will not be completed until 2016, the condemnation case has been placed in administrative closure. As a result, the trial and mediation will not likely be scheduled until requested by the parties, most likely in 2016.

In May 2010, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court, Seventh Judicial Circuit, in and for Volusia County, Florida, in order to enforce its approximate $3.8 million claim of lien on real property owned by FM Bayberry Cove Holding, LLC (“FM Bayberry”) for its share of the costs for construction of a road. BB&T was included as a defendant as the current mortgage holder of the property subject to the Company’s lien. BB&T filed a counterclaim asserting that its mortgage is superior to the Company’s claim of lien which the Company denied. BB&T and the Company each filed motions for summary judgment as to the priority of their respective interests in the property which were heard by the court on January 12, 2012. The Circuit Court determined that the Company’s interests were superior to the lien imposed by BB&T and all other interests and a final judgment of foreclosure was subsequently entered. However, all further proceedings in the Circuit Court (including the foreclosure sale) were stayed pending BB&T’s appeal to the Florida District Court of Appeal, Fifth District (the “Appellate Court”), regarding the Circuit Court’s determination in the matter of priority. On October 29, 2013, the Appellate Court ruled in favor of the Company, affirming the Circuit Court’s determination that the Company’s lien against the approximately 600-acre parcel of residential land (lying west of I-95 near the LPGA International development and adjacent to Bayberry Colony) is superior to the lien imposed by BB&T. The judgment has accrued to over $4.6 million, including interest. The Company has not included an accrual related to interest in the consolidated financial statements. At this time, the Appellate Court’s decision is subject to possible motion for rehearing by BB&T. On December 3, 2013, the Circuit Court entered a Second Amended Final Judgment of Foreclosure in Accordance with the Appellate Court’s Mandate, which, among other things, set the date of the Company’s foreclosure sale to occur on January 29, 2014. On January 29, 2014, the Company’s approximately $4.7 million claim for unreimbursed costs and accrued interest was satisfied through the successful foreclosure of approximately 600 acres of land.

There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with management’s expectations or that the effect of future developments on the Company will be those anticipated by management.

We wish to caution readers that the assumptions, which form the basis for forward-looking statements with respect to or that may impact earnings for the year-ended December 31, 2014, and thereafter, include many factors that are beyond the Company’s ability to control or estimate precisely. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the strength of the real estate market in the City and Volusia County, Florida; the impact of a prolonged recession or further downturn in economic conditions; our ability to successfully execute acquisition or development strategies; any loss of key management personnel; changes in local, regional, and national economic conditions affecting the real estate development business and income properties; the impact of environmental and land use regulations; extreme or severe weather conditions; the impact of competitive real estate activity; variability in quarterly results due to the unpredictable timing of land transactions; the loss of any major income property tenants; and the availability of capital. These risks and uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There have been no material changes to those risk factors. The risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company.

While we periodically reassess material trends and uncertainties affecting our results of operations and financial condition, we do not intend to review or revise any particular forward-looking statement referenced herein in light of future events.

(b) If any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or L/C Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender or

(c) A certificate of a Lender or L/C Issuer claiming compensation under Sections 1.11, 10.1, 10.3 and 12.1 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive if reasonably determined. In determining such amount, such Lender or L/C Issuer may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

If any such withholding is so required, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall make the withholding, pay the amount withheld to the appropriate governmental authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon, and forthwith pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender, the L/C Issuer, and the Administrative Agent free and clear of such taxes (including such taxes on such additional amount) is equal to the amount which that Lender, L/C Issuer, or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) would have received had such withholding not been made. If the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, or any Lender pays any amount in respect of any such taxes, penalties or interest, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall reimburse the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender for that payment on demand in the currency in which such payment was made.

(b) U.S. Withholding Tax Exemptions. Each Lender or L/C Issuer that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before

 

-8-


the date the initial Credit Event is made hereunder or, if later, the date such financial institution becomes a Lender or L/C Issuer hereunder, two duly completed and signed copies of (i) either Form W-8 BEN-E (relating to such Lender or L/C Issuer and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding under the Code on all amounts to be received by such Lender or L/C Issuer, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Obligations) or Form W-8 ECI (relating to all amounts to be received by such Lender or L/C Issuer, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Obligations) of the United States Internal Revenue Service or (ii) solely if such Lender is claiming exemption from United States withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a Form W-8 BEN-E, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, and a certificate representing that such Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code). Thereafter and from time to time, each Lender and L/C Issuer shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or the other of such Forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) and such other certificates as may be (i) requested by the Borrower in a written notice, directly or through the Administrative Agent, to such Lender or L/C Issuer and (ii) required under then-current United States law or regulations to avoid or reduce United States withholding taxes on payments in respect of all amounts to be received by such Lender or L/C Issuer, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents or the Obligations.

(c) Inability of Lender to Submit Forms. If any Lender or L/C Issuer determines, as a result of any change in applicable law, regulation or treaty, or in any official application or interpretation thereof, that it is unable to submit to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent any form or certificate that such Lender or L/C Issuer is obligated to submit pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 12.1 or that such Lender or L/C Issuer is required to withdraw or cancel any such form or certificate previously submitted or any such form or certificate otherwise becomes ineffective or inaccurate, such Lender or L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Borrower and Administrative Agent of such fact and the Lender or L/C Issuer shall to that extent not be obligated to provide any such form or certificate and will be entitled to withdraw or cancel any affected form or certificate, as applicable.

(d) Compliance with FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed

by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or Guarantor has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.11 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (e).

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Lender or L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund in respect of any taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower or a Guarantor pursuant to this Section 12.1, it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or L/C Issuer and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower or such Guarantor, upon the request of such Lender or L/C Issuer, agrees to promptly repay the amount paid over with respect to such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental

Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or L/C Issuer to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or L/C Issuer to claim any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or any other confidential information or require any Lender or L/C Issuer to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

(g) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or a Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

Section 12.27. Other Taxes. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand, and indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the L/C Issuer harmless from, any Other Taxes payable in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including interest and penalties, in the event any such taxes are assessed, irrespective of when such assessment is made and whether or not any credit is then in use or available hereunder.

1.21. The following new Section 13.10 is added to the Credit Agreement:

Section 13.10. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section, or otherwise under this Guaranty, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until discharged in accordance with Section 13.3. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

EXHIBIT E TO THIRD AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

SCHEDULE 6.11

LITIGATION

This Schedule 6.11 is qualified in its entirety by reference to specific provisions of the Credit Agreement to which it relates, and to the extent such provisions contain representations and warranties, this Schedule 6.11 is intended to only qualify and shall not be deemed to expand in any way the scope or effect of any such representations and warranties. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement. Inclusion of information herein shall not be construed as an admission that such information is material to the Borrower or to any of the Subsidiaries. Matters reflected in this Schedule are not necessarily limited to matters required by the Credit Agreement to be reflected herein. Any such additional matters are included herein for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of similar nature. Headings have been inserted herein for convenience of reference only and shall to no extent have the effect of amending or changing the express description of this Schedule in the Credit Agreement.

On November 21, 2011, the Company, Indigo Mallard Creek LLC and Indigo Development LLC, as owners of the property leased to Harris Teeter, Inc. (“Harris Teeter”) in Charlotte, North Carolina, were served with pleadings filed in the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division for Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, for a highway condemnation action involving the property. The proposed road modifications would impact access to the Company’s property that is leased to Harris Teeter. The Company does not believe the road modifications provided a basis for Harris Teeter to terminate the Lease. Regardless, in January 30, 2013, NCDOT proposed to redesign the road modifications to keep the all access intersection open for ingress with no change to the planned limitation on egress to the right-in/right-out only. Additionally, NCDOT and the City of Charlotte proposed to build and maintain a new access road/point into the property. Both government entities have confirmed that funding is available and the redesigned project is proceeding. Harris Teeter has expressed satisfaction with the redesigned project and indicated that it will not attempt to terminate its lease if this project is built as currently redesigned. Because the redesigned project will not be completed until 2016, the condemnation case has been placed in administrative closure. As a result, the trial and mediation will not likely be scheduled until requested by the parties, most likely in 2016.

In May 2010, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court, Seventh Judicial Circuit, in and for Volusia County, Florida, in order to enforce its approximate $3.8 million claim of lien on real property owned by FM Bayberry Cove Holding, LLC (“FM Bayberry”) for its share of the costs for construction of a road. BB&T was included as a defendant as the current mortgage holder of the property subject to the Company’s lien. BB&T filed a counterclaim asserting that its mortgage is superior to the Company’s claim of lien which the Company denied. BB&T and the Company each filed motions for summary judgment as to the priority of their respective interests in the property which were heard by the court on January 12, 2012. The Circuit Court determined that the Company’s interests were superior to the lien imposed by BB&T and all


other interests and a final judgment of foreclosure was subsequently entered. However, all further proceedings in the Circuit Court (including the foreclosure sale) were stayed pending BB&T’s appeal to the Florida District Court of Appeal, Fifth District (the “Appellate Court”), regarding the Circuit Court’s determination in the matter of priority. On October 29, 2013, the Appellate Court ruled in favor of the Company, affirming the Circuit Court’s determination that the Company’s lien against the approximately 600-acre parcel of residential land (lying west of I-95 near the LPGA International development and adjacent to Bayberry Colony) is superior to the lien imposed by BB&T. The judgment has accrued to over $4.6 million, including interest. The Company has not included an accrual related to interest in the consolidated financial statements. At this time, the Appellate Court’s decision is subject to possible motion for rehearing by BB&T. On December 3, 2013, the Circuit Court entered a Second Amended Final Judgment of Foreclosure in Accordance with the Appellate Court’s Mandate, which, among other things, set the date of the Company’s foreclosure sale to occur on January 29, 2014. On January 29, 2014, the Company’s approximately $4.7 million claim for unreimbursed costs and accrued interest was satisfied through the successful foreclosure of approximately 600 acres of land.

ARTICLE 2.

GENERAL TERMS

 

  Section 2.1 The Loan.

Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender hereby agrees to make and Borrower hereby agrees to accept the Loan on the Closing Date.

 

  Section 2.2 Disbursement to Borrower.

Borrower may request and receive only one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be re-borrowed.

 

  Section 2.3 The Note and the Other Loan Documents.

The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and this Agreement and secured by this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

 

  Section 2.4 Use of Proceeds.

Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to (i) pay and discharge any existing loans relating to the Property, (ii) pay all past-due Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges, if any, in respect of the Property, (iii) make initial deposits of the Reserve Funds, (iv) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, and (v) to the extent any proceeds remain after satisfying clauses (i) through (iv) above, for such lawful purpose as Borrower shall designate.

 

  Section 2.5 Interest Rate.

(a) Initial Interest Rate. Generally, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from the Closing Date (i) up to but excluding the Anticipated Repayment Date at the Initial Interest Rate if the Loan is not repaid in full on or before the Anticipated Repayment Date, or (ii) up to and including the Anticipated Repayment Date at the Initial Interest Rate if the Loan is repaid in full on or before the Anticipated Repayment Date.

(b) Adjusted Interest Rate. Unless the Loan is repaid in full on or before the Anticipated Repayment Date, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, including without limitation Accrued Interest, shall accrue from and including the Anticipated Repayment Date to and including the Maturity Date at the Adjusted Interest Rate.

(c) Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, overdue interest in respect of the Loan, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.

 

20


(d) Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue at the Applicable Interest Rate calculated on an Actual/360 Basis. Borrower acknowledges that interest calculated on an Actual/360 Basis exceeds interest calculated on a 30/360 Basis and, therefore: (i) a greater portion of each monthly installment of principal (if applicable) and interest will be applied to interest using the Actual/360 Basis than would be the case if interest accrued on a 30/360 Basis and (ii) the unpaid principal balance of the Loan on the Anticipated Repayment Date or the Maturity Date will be greater using the Actual/360 Basis than would be the case if interest accrued on a 30/360 Basis.

(e) Usury Savings. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use or forbearance of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

 

  Section 2.6 Loan Payments.

(a) Payment Before Anticipated Repayment Date. Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only on the Closing Date for the period from the Closing Date through (but excluding) the eleventh (11th) day of either (i) the month in which the Closing Date occurs (if such Closing Date is on or after the first (1st) day of such month, but prior to the eleventh (11th) day of such month) or (ii) if the Closing Date is after the eleventh (11th) day of the then current calendar month, the calendar month following the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs (unless the Closing Date is the eleventh (11th) day of a calendar month, in which case no such separate payment of interest shall be due). Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest in the amount of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount on the Monthly Payment Date occurring in November, 2014 and on each Monthly Payment Date thereafter to and including the Anticipated Repayment Date. Each payment shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and the balance, if any, to principal.

(b) Payment After Anticipated Repayment Date. On each Monthly Payment Date occurring after the Anticipated Repayment Date, Borrower shall (i) make a payment to Lender of interest in the amount of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, such payment to be applied to interest in an amount equal to interest that would have accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan at the Initial Interest Rate, and (ii) pay to Lender amounts as set forth in Section 5(b)(ix) of the Cash Management Agreement. Interest accrued at the Adjusted Interest Rate and not paid pursuant to the preceding sentence (such interest, “Accrued Interest”) shall be paid in accordance with Section 5(b)(ix) of the Cash Management Agreement.

 

21


(c) Payment on Maturity. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

(d) Late Payment Charge. If any payment of any sum due under the Loan Documents, other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not paid by Borrower within five (5) days when due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

(e) Method and Place of Payment.

(i) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than Noon, California time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

(ii) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be deemed to be the immediately succeeding Business Day.

(iii) All payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto.

 

  Section 2.7 Prepayments.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part. On and after the Monthly Payment Date occurring three (3) months prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date (the “Open Period Start Date”), Borrower may, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at its option and upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Lender (or such shorter period of time as may be permitted by Lender in its sole discretion), prepay the Debt in whole on any date without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium in which case the lien of the Security Instrument shall be released at Borrower’s cost. Any prepayment received by Lender on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date shall include interest which would have accrued thereon to the next Monthly Payment Date (such amounts, the “Interest Shortfall”).

 

22


(b) Mandatory Prepayments. On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Proceeds, and if such Net Proceeds are not made available to Borrower for Restoration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Lender shall apply one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds against the outstanding principal balance of the Note) and, if such Net Proceeds exceed the Restoration Threshold, Borrower may within ninety (90) days of such prepayment, prepay the entire outstanding balance of the Loan together with any applicable Interest Shortfall upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Lender. Within one hundred eighty (180) days of Borrower’s receipt of notice of Harris Teeter’s termination of the Harris Teeter Lease as a result of a Condemnation at the Harris Teeter Property, Borrower shall either (i) prepay the Debt in an amount equal to the then outstanding Allocated Loan Amount of the Harris Teeter Property (after deducting the Net Proceeds payable and paid to Lender relating to such Condemnation), together with any Interest Shortfall (and following such payment, subject to the terms of Section 11.3 hereof to the extent applicable with respect to any Casualty or Condemnation, Lender shall release the Harris Teeter Property from the Lien of its Security Instrument), or (ii) effect a Substitution of the Harris Teeter Property in accordance with Section 6.6 hereof (clauses (i) and (ii), each a “Harris Teeter Condemnation Requirement”). Within one hundred eighty (180) days of Borrower’s receipt of notice of Lowe’s termination of the Lowe’s Lease as a result of a Casualty at the Lowe’s Property, Borrower shall either (i) prepay the Debt in an amount equal to the then outstanding Allocated Loan Amount of the Lowe’s Property (after deducting the Net Proceeds payable and paid to Lender relating to such Casualty) together with any Interest Shortfall (and following such payment, subject to the terms of Section 11.3 hereof to the extent applicable with respect to any Casualty or Condemnation, Lender shall release the Lowe’s Property from the Lien of its Security Instrument), or (ii) effect a Substitution of the Lowe’s Property in accordance with Section 6.6 hereof (clauses (i) and (ii), each a “Lowe’s Casualty Requirement”). No Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.7(b).

(c) Prepayments After Default. If concurrently with or during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the principal of the Loan is tendered by Borrower, a purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person, such tender shall be deemed an attempt to circumvent the prohibition against prepayment prior to the Open Period Start Date as set forth herein and Borrower, such purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall pay (i) the Yield Maintenance Premium and (ii) Interest Shortfall, in addition to the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges that (i) a prepayment will cause damage to Lender; (ii) the Yield Maintenance Premium is intended to compensate Lender for the loss of its investment and the expense incurred and time and effort associated with making the Loan, which will not be fully repaid if the Loan is prepaid; (iii) it will be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of Lender’s damages caused by a prepayment after an acceleration or any other prepayment not permitted by the Loan Documents; and (iv) the Yield Maintenance Premium represents Lender’s and Borrower’s reasonable estimate of Lender’s damages from the prepayment and is not a penalty.

(d) Intentionally Omitted.

 

23


(e) Release of Lien. Except as expressly set forth in this Article 2, no repayment, prepayment or defeasance of all or any portion of the Note shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the lien of the Security Instrument.

 

  Section 2.8 Defeasance.

(a) Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured, following the Defeasance Lockout Release Date and prior to the Open Period Start Date (i) Borrower shall have the right to voluntarily defease the entire Loan and obtain a release of the lien of the Security Instrument by providing Lender with the Total Defeasance Collateral (hereinafter, a “Total Defeasance Event”) or (ii) Borrower shall have the right to defease a portion of the Loan subject to, and in accordance with, this Section 2.8 and Section 2.9 hereof (hereinafter, a “Partial Defeasance Event”), in each case, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(i) Borrower shall provide Lender not less than thirty (30) days’ notice (or such shorter period of time if permitted by Lender in its sole discretion) but not more than ninety (90) days’ notice specifying (A) a date (the “Defeasance Date”) on which the Defeasance Event is to occur and (B) the principal amount of the Loan to be defeased (which shall be in the amount of the Release Amount in connection of a Partial Defeasance Event);

(ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender (A) all payments of principal and interest due and payable on the Loan to and including the Defeasance Date; (B) all other sums, if any, then due and payable under the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents through and including the Defeasance Date; (C) all escrow, closing, recording, legal, appraisal, Rating Agency and other actual, reasonable fees, costs and expenses paid or incurred by Lender or its agents in connection with the Defeasance Event, the release of the lien of Security Instrument on the Property in connection with a Total Defeasance Event (or the Release Property in connection with a Partial Defeasance Event), the review of the proposed Defeasance Collateral and the preparation of the Security Agreement and related documentation; and (D) any revenue, documentary stamp, intangible or other taxes, charges or fees due in connection with the transfer or assumption of the Note and/or the Defeasance Event;

(iii) In the case of a Partial Defeasance Event, Lender, at Borrower’s expense, shall prepare all necessary documents to sever the indebtedness evidenced by the Note into two substitute notes, one (the “Defeased Note”) having a principal balance equal to the defeased portion of the original Note, which Defeased Note shall be in an amount exactly equal to the Release Amount, and the other (the “Undefeased Note”) having a principal balance equal to the undefeased portion of the original Note as of the Defeasance Date. The Defeased Note and the Undefeased Note shall have identical terms as the original Note, except for the principal balance, and provided that the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall be apportioned ratably amongst the Defeased Note and the Undefeased Note, and the Defeased Note or Defeased Notes and the Undefeased Note or Undefeased Notes shall be cross-defaulted with each other. A Defeased Note cannot be the subject of any further Defeasance Event. An Undefeased Note may be the subject of a further Defeasance Event in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.8;

(vii) Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Rating Agency Confirmation as to the Defeasance Event;

(x) Borrower shall deliver such other customary certificates, opinions, documents and instruments as Lender may reasonably request; and

(xi) Borrower shall pay all actual, reasonable costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with the Total Defeasance Event or Partial Defeasance Event, as applicable, including, without limitation, Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and Rating Agency fees and expenses.

In connection with the release (or partial release, as applicable) of the lien, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Defeasance Date (or such shorter time as is acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion), a release (or partial release, as applicable) of lien (and related Loan Documents) for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and shall contain standard provisions protecting the rights of the releasing lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Applicable Law, and (ii) will affect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

The Defeasance Collateral Account shall contain only (i) Defeasance Collateral, and (ii) cash from interest and principal paid on the Defeasance Collateral. All cash from interest and principal payments paid on the Defeasance Collateral shall be paid over to Lender on each Monthly Payment Date and applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and then to principal (under the Note, in connection with a Total Defeasance Event, or the Defeased Note, in connection with a Partial Defeasance Event). Any cash from interest and principal paid on the Defeasance Collateral not needed to pay the Scheduled Defeasance Payments (or with respect to a Partial Defeasance Event, the Partial Defeasance Scheduled Defeasance Payments) shall be paid to Borrower or Successor Borrower (as applicable). Borrower or Successor Borrower (as applicable) shall cause the Eligible Institution at which the Defeasance Collateral is deposited to enter into an agreement with Borrower or Successor Borrower (as applicable) and Lender, satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, pursuant to which such Eligible Institution shall agree to hold and distribute the Defeasance Collateral in accordance with this Agreement. Borrower or Successor Borrower (as applicable) shall be the owner of the Defeasance Collateral Account and shall report all income accrued on Defeasance Collateral for federal, state and local income tax purposes in its income tax return. Borrower shall prepay all cost and expenses associated with opening and maintaining the Defeasance Collateral Account. Lender shall not in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Defeasance Collateral Account.

(e) In connection with a Defeasance Event under this Section 2.8, Borrower shall transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and to (i) in connection with a Total Defeasance Event, the Note and the Security Agreement, together with the Defeasance Collateral, or (ii) in connection with a Partial Defeasance Event, the Defeased Note and the Security Agreement, together with the Partial Defeasance Collateral, to a newly-created

 

26


successor entity, which entity shall be a Single Purpose Entity and which entity shall be designated or established by Borrower, and reasonably satisfactory to Lender (the “Successor Borrower”). Borrower shall have the right to purchase, or cause to be purchased on behalf of Borrower, the pledged Defeasance Collateral. Such Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations under the Note (or the Defeased Note, in the case of a Partial Defeasance Event) and the Security Agreement, and, in connection with a Total Defeasance Event only, Borrower and Guarantor shall be relieved of its obligations under the Loan Documents (other than those obligations which by their terms survive a repayment, defeasance or other satisfaction of the Loan and/or a transfer of the Property in connection with Lender’s exercise of its remedies under the Loan Documents). Borrower shall pay a minimum of $1,000 to any such Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming the obligations under the Note (or the Defeased Note, in the case of a Partial Defeasance Event) and the Security Agreement. Borrower shall pay all actual, reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including Lender’s attorney’s fees and expenses, incurred in connection therewith.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.8, the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that after the Securitization of the Loan (or any portion thereof or interest therein), with respect to any Lender approval or similar discretionary rights over any matters contained in this Section (any such matter, a “Defeasance Approval Item”), such rights shall be construed such that Lender shall only be permitted to withhold its consent or approval with respect to any Defeasance Approval Item if the same fails to meet the Prudent Lender Standard.

 

  Section 2.9 Partial Release.

Borrower shall have the right to cause no more than three (3) Individual Properties (each a “Release Property”) to be released from the lien of the related Security Instrument (the “Release Security Instrument”) and the Loan Documents upon a Partial Defeasance Event in connection with a bona-fide sale to a non-affiliated third-party, provided:

(a) no Event of Default under any Loan Documents shall have occurred and be continuing;

(b) the Debt Yield of the Remaining Property shall be no less than the greater of (i) 11.0% or (ii) the Debt Yield of all Properties, including the Release Property, prior to the release;

(c) the weighted average remaining lease term of the Leases of the Remaining Property must not be less than the weighted average remaining lease term of the Leases of all Individual Properties, including the Release Property, prior to such release;

(d) the weighted average credit rating of the Tenants of the Remaining Property must not be less than the weighted average credit rating of the Tenants of all Individual Properties, including the Release Property, prior to such release;

(g) Borrower shall deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel for Release Borrower that is standard in commercial lending transactions and subject only to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions opining, that the Securitization of the Loan will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the release;

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9 or anything herein to the contrary, this Section 2.9 is subject to the terms of Section 11.3 hereof; and

(j) Borrower shall simultaneously with the release of the Release Property transfer title to the Release Property to a person(s), party(ies) or entity(ies) other than Borrower or any person, party or entity owned or controlled by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower and the SPE Component Entity shall transfer all ownership interests in the applicable Borrower of such Release Party to a person(s), party(ies) or entity(ies) other than Borrower or SPE Component Entity. In the event the applicable Borrower is Golden Arrow Clermont FL LLC, the Deposit Account and the Cash Management Account shall be transferred to another Borrower.

  Section 4.4 Waste.

Borrower shall not knowingly commit or suffer any waste of the Property or make any change in the use of the Property which will in any way materially increase the risk of fire or other hazard arising out of the operation of the Property, or take any action that might invalidate or give cause for cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit to be done thereon anything that may in any way impair the value of the Property or the security for the Loan. Except as otherwise permitted in the Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of Lender, permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal, or production of any minerals from the surface or the subsurface of the Property, regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof.

(a) Borrower shall pay all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof as the same become due and payable; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to directly pay Taxes and Other Charges shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 8.1 hereof. Borrower shall furnish to Lender receipts for the payment of the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent (provided, however, that Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes and Other Charges in the event that such Taxes and Other Charges are payable by Lender pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof). Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against the Property, and shall promptly pay for, or cause to be paid for by the applicable Tenant, all utility services provided to the Property.

(b) Any Tenant, in accordance with the terms of its Lease and provided Borrower delivers notice to Lender promptly following Borrower’s receipt of notice or upon Borrower’s actual knowledge of a contest, or Borrower, after prior written notice to Lender, at Tenant’s or Borrower’s own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and

 

41


remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be permitted by and conducted in accordance with all Applicable Law; (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the Property; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or deliver to Lender such reserve deposits as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon. Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the Property (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost or there shall be any danger of the lien of the Security Instrument being primed by any related lien.

 

  Section 4.6 Litigation.

Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened in writing against Borrower or any SPE Component Entity which might have a Material Adverse Effect.

Borrower shall cooperate fully with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or other Governmental Authority which may adversely affect the rights of Lender hereunder or any rights obtained by Lender under any of the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, permit Lender, at Lender’s election, to participate in any such proceedings.

Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Awards or insurance proceeds lawfully or equitably payable in connection with the Property, and Lender shall be reimbursed for any reasonable and customary expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable, actual attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the payment by Lender of the expense of an appraisal on behalf of Borrower in case of a Casualty or Condemnation affecting the Property or any part thereto) out of such Awards or insurance proceeds.

 

  Section 4.12 Books and Records.

(a) Borrower shall keep adequate books and records of account in accordance with GAAP, or in accordance with other methods acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion (consistently applied), and furnish to Lender:

(ii) quarterly (and prior to a Securitization if requested by Lender, monthly) operating statements of the Property, prepared and certified by a Responsible Officer of Borrower in the form reasonably required by Lender, detailing the revenues received, the expenses incurred and major capital expenditures for the period of calculation and containing appropriate year-to-date information, within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month or forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter, as applicable;

(iii) an annual balance sheet, profit and loss statement, statement of cash flow, and statement of change in financial position of Borrower audited by a “Big Four” accounting firm or other independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each fiscal year of Borrower;

(iv) an annual operating statement of the Property audited by a “Big Four” accounting firm or other independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender, detailing the revenues received, the expenses incurred and major capital improvements for the period of calculation and containing appropriate year-to-date information, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each fiscal year of Borrower;

(v) by no later than December 15 of each calendar year, an annual operating budget for the next succeeding calendar year presented on a monthly basis consistent with the annual operating statement described above for the Property, including cash flow

 

43


projections for the upcoming year and all proposed capital replacements and improvements (the “Annual Budget”). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Cash Trap Event Period, Lender shall have the right to approve each Annual Budget and no Annual Budget shall take effect unless and until the same has been approved by Lender (provided that during any period in which Lender has failed to approve an Annual Budget for the applicable calendar year, Borrower shall be permitted to operate pursuant to the Annual Budget for the immediately preceding calendar year). Within thirty (30) days after receipt of written request from Lender during any Cash Trap Event Period, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the Annual Budget for approval by Lender; and

(vi) by no later than thirty (30) days after and as of the end of each calendar month during the period prior to Securitization, and thereafter by no later than thirty (30) days after and as of the end of each calendar quarter, a summary report containing each of the following with respect to the Property for the most recently completed calendar month or quarter (as applicable): (A) to the extent available to Borrower, aggregate sales by tenants under Leases or other occupants of the Property, both on an actual (or to the extent such information is not provided by such tenants or occupants, Borrower’s best estimate) and on a comparable store basis, (B) rent per square foot payable by each such tenant or occupant, (C) aggregate occupancy of the Property by anchor space and in-line store space and (D) a tenant aging and receivables report.

(b) Upon request from Lender, Borrower shall furnish in a timely manner to Lender an accounting of all security deposits held in connection with any Lease of any part of the Property, including the name and identification number of the accounts in which such security deposits are held, the name and address of the financial institutions in which such security deposits are held and the name of the person to contact at such financial institution, along with any authority or release necessary for Lender to obtain information regarding such accounts directly from such financial institutions.

(c) Within twenty (20) days of Lender’s request, Borrower shall furnish Lender (and shall cause Guarantor to furnish to Lender) with such other additional financial or management information (including State and Federal tax returns) as may, from time to time, be reasonably required by Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall furnish to Lender and its agents convenient facilities at Borrower’s address identified in this Agreement for the examination and audit of any such books and records at any reasonable time from time to time during business hours upon reasonable advance notice at Borrower’s principal place of business.

(d) Borrower agrees that all financial statements and other items required to be delivered to Lender pursuant to this Section 4.12 (each a “Required Financial Item” and, collectively, the “Required Financial Items”) shall: (i) be complete and correct in all material respects; (ii) present fairly the financial condition of the party; (iii) disclose all liabilities that are required to be reflected or reserved against; and (iv) be prepared (A) in hardcopy and electronic formats and (B) to the extent applicable, in accordance with GAAP or in accordance with other methods acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion (consistently applied). Borrower shall be deemed to warrant and represent that, as of the date of delivery of any such financial statement,

 

44


there has been no material adverse change in financial condition, nor have any assets or properties been sold, transferred, assigned, mortgaged, pledged or encumbered since the date of such financial statement except as disclosed by Borrower in a writing delivered to Lender. Borrower agrees that all Required Financial Items shall not contain any misrepresentation or omission of a material fact.

(e) If any Required Financial Item is not timely delivered (“Reporting Failure”), following ten (10) Business Days’ written notice from Lender, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, as a late charge, the sum of Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($500.00) per Required Financial Item. In addition, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender an additional late charge of Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($500.00) per Required Financial Item for each full month during which such Reporting Failure continues following written notice from Lender. Borrower acknowledges that Lender will incur additional expenses as a result of any such Reporting Failure, which expenses would be impracticable to quantify, and that Borrower’s payments under this Section 4.12 are a reasonable estimate of such expenses. Borrower acknowledges further that the payment by Borrower of this late charge does not in any manner affect or otherwise impair or waive any rights and remedies Lender may have hereunder, under the Loan Documents or under applicable law for any Event of Default.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the other Loan Documents, except as set forth in Section 11 of the Guaranty, (i) Guarantor’s reporting requirements hereunder, including any requirements with respect to the form or the preparation and audit thereof, shall be satisfied so long as Guarantor remains a publicly listed company and makes required Exchange Act Filings and (ii) Borrower’s reporting requirements hereunder, with respect to the audit thereof, shall be satisfied so long as Guarantor remains a publicly listed company and makes required Exchange Act Filings.

 

  Section 4.13 Estoppel Certificates.

(a) After request by Lender, Borrower, within ten (10) Business Days of such request, shall furnish Lender or any proposed assignee with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified, setting forth (i) the original principal amount of the Note, (ii) the unpaid principal amount of the Note, (iii) the rate of interest of the Note, (iv) the terms of payment and maturity date of the Note, (v) the date installments of interest and/or principal were last paid, (vi) that, except as provided in such statement, no Event of Default exists, (vii) that this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations and have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification, (viii) whether any offsets or defenses exist against the obligations secured hereby and, if any are alleged to exist, a detailed description thereof, (ix) that all Leases are in full force and effect and have not been modified (or if modified, setting forth all modifications), (x) the date to which the Rents thereunder have been paid pursuant to the Leases, (xi) whether or not, to the best knowledge of Borrower, any of the Tenants are in default under the Leases, and, if any of the Tenants are in default, setting forth the specific nature of all such defaults, (xii) the amount of security deposits held by Borrower under each Lease and that such amounts are consistent with the amounts required under each Lease, and (xiii) as to any other matters reasonably requested by Lender and reasonably related to the Leases, the obligations created and evidenced hereby and by the Security Instrument or the Property.

 

45


(b) Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts (without any obligation to commence any legal proceeding) to deliver to Lender, promptly upon request, duly executed estoppel certificates from any one or more Tenants as required by Lender attesting to such facts regarding the Lease as Lender may require, including, but not limited to, attestations that each Lease covered thereby is in full force and effect with no defaults thereunder on the part of any party, that none of the Rents have been paid more than one month in advance, except as security, and that the lessee claims no defense or offset against the full and timely performance of its obligations under the Lease, provided that Borrower shall not be required to deliver such certificates more frequently than twice (2) during any calendar year.

(c) In connection with the Securitization of the Loan (or any portion thereof or interest therein), at Lender’s request, Borrower shall provide an estoppel certificate to any Investor or any prospective Investor in such form, substance and detail as Lender, such Investor or prospective Investor may reasonably require, provided that Borrower shall not be required to deliver such certificates more frequently than twice (2) during the term of the Loan, and not more frequently than once per calendar year (or twice during any calendar year in which a Securitization occurs).

(d) Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Lender, upon request, estoppel certificates from each party under each REA and each Material Agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender.

 

  Section 4.14 Leases and Rents.

(a) Upon request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases then in effect. All renewals of Leases and all proposed leases shall provide for rental rates and terms comparable to existing local market rates and shall be arm’s length transactions with bona fide, independent third-party Tenants. Within ten (10) days after the execution of a Lease or any renewals, amendments or modification of a Lease, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy thereof, together with Borrower’s certification that such Lease (or such renewal, amendment or modification) was entered into in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lease and any renewals, amendments or modification of a Lease (provided such Lease or Lease renewal, amendment or modification is not a Major Lease (or a renewal, amendment or modification to a Major Lease)) that meets the following requirements may be entered into by Borrower without Lender’s prior consent: such Lease (i) provides for rental rates comparable to existing local market rates for similar properties and is otherwise on commercially reasonable terms, (ii) unless a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement is delivered pursuant to this Section 4.14, provides that such Lease is subordinate to the Security Instrument and that the lessee will attorn to Lender and any purchaser at a foreclosure sale, (iii) is written substantially in accordance with the standard form of Lease which shall have been approved by Lender (subject to any commercially-reasonable changes made in the course of negotiations with the applicable Tenant), (iv) is not with an Affiliate of Borrower or any Guarantor, and (v) does not contain any option to purchase, any right of first refusal to purchase, any right to terminate (except in the event of the destruction or condemnation of substantially all of the Property) or any other terms which would cause a Material Adverse Effect. All other Leases (including Major Leases) and all renewals, amendments and modifications thereof

 

46


(including, without limitation, any subletting or assignment thereunder not contemplated by the express terms of such Lease (other than any subletting or assignment that does not require Borrower’s consent under such Lease)) executed after the date hereof shall be subject to Lender’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c) Lender shall execute and deliver a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement on Lender’s then current standard form to Tenants under future Major Leases approved by Lender promptly upon request with such commercially reasonable changes as may be requested by Tenants, from time to time, as are reasonably acceptable to Lender. Lender’s execution of a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement which is not in compliance with the foregoing sentence shall be at Lender’s sole discretion and subject to such additional conditions as Lender shall reasonably determine.

(d) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in all material respects in a commercially reasonable manner, including, without limitation, any repainting obligations of Borrower pursuant to the Lowe’s Lease; (ii) shall enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner, provided, however, Borrower shall not terminate or accept a surrender of a Major Lease (except pursuant to an express termination right granted to the Tenant under the Lease as of the date hereof) without Lender’s prior approval; (iii) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not execute any assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (v) shall not, without Lender’s consent, alter, modify or change any Lease so as to change the amount of or payment date for rent, change the expiration date, grant any option for additional space or term, materially reduce the obligations of the lessee or increase the obligations of lessor; and (vi) shall hold all security deposits under all Leases in accordance with Applicable Law.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not willfully withhold from Lender any information regarding renewal, extension, amendment, modification, waiver of provisions of, termination, rental reduction of, surrender of space of, or shortening of the term of, any Lease during the term of the Loan. Borrower further agrees to provide Lender with written notice of a Tenant “going dark” under such Tenant’s Lease within thirty (30) days after Borrower becomes aware that such Tenant “goes dark” and Borrower’s failure to provide such notice for the second such Tenant “going dark” (which would constitute a Cash Trap Event Period) shall constitute an Event of Default. Borrower’s delivery of the certified rent roll required pursuant to Section 4.12 hereof shall not, in and of itself, satisfy the requirement of the preceding sentence.

(f) Borrower shall notify Lender in writing, within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof, of Borrower’s receipt of any termination fee or payment (“Lease Event Payment”) paid by any Tenant under any Lease in consideration of any termination, modification or amendment or settlement of any Lease or any release or discharge of any Tenant under any Lease from any obligation thereunder (a “Lease Event”). Borrower further covenants and agrees that (i) Borrower shall hold any such Lease Event Payment in trust for the benefit of Lender and (ii) (A) in the event such Lease Event Payment is less than $150,000 and such Lease Event does not have a Material Adverse Effect and provided there is no Event of Default or Cash

 

47


Trap Event Period, such Lease Event Payment shall be payable to Borrower or (B) in the event such Lease Event Payment equals or exceeds $150,000 or such Lease Event has a Material Adverse Effect, such Lease Event Payment shall be placed by Borrower in reserve with Lender, to be disbursed by Lender for tenant improvement and leasing commission costs with respect to the Property and/or for payment of the Debt or otherwise in connection with the Loan and/or the Property, as so determined by Lender, in its sole discretion.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent Lender’s prior approval is required for any leasing matters set forth in this Section 4.14, Lender shall have ten (10) Business Days from receipt of written request and all information and documentation reasonably required to evaluate the applicable Tenant and Lease in which to approve or disapprove such matter, provided that such request to Lender is marked in bold lettering with the following language: “LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A LOAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND LENDER” and the envelope containing the request must be marked “PRIORITY”. In the event that Lender fails to respond to the leasing matter in question within such time, Lender’s approval shall be deemed given for all purposes. Borrower shall provide Lender with such information and documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender, including, without limitation, lease comparables and other market information as reasonably required by Lender. For purposes of clarification, Lender’s requesting additional and/or clarified information, in addition to approving or denying any request (in whole or in part), shall be deemed a response by Lender for purposes of the foregoing.

 

  Section 4.15 Management Agreement.

(a) If Borrower shall engage a Manager to manage the Property, Borrower shall (i) diligently perform, observe and enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions of any Management Agreement, if any, on the part of Borrower to be performed, observed and enforced to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of Borrower under any such Management Agreement and (ii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice to Borrower of any default by Borrower in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any such Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed and observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice. Without Lender’s prior written consent, Borrower shall not surrender any Management Agreement, consent to the assignment by Manager of its interest under any Management Agreement, or terminate or cancel any Management Agreement or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Management Agreement, in any material respect, either orally or in writing, and Borrower hereby assigns to Lender as further security for the payment of the Debt and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement, all the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrower to surrender any Management Agreement or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Management Agreement in any respect, and any such surrender of any Management Agreement or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of any Management Agreement without the prior consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect.

 

48


(b) If Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of any Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed and fails to remedy such default within any applicable cure period set forth in the Management Agreement, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of any Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under any Management Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. Lender and any person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If any Manager shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to Borrower of default under any Management Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon.

(c) Borrower shall notify Lender if any Manager sub-contracts to a third party or an affiliate any or all of its management responsibilities under any Management Agreement. Borrower shall, from time to time, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from any Manager under any Management Agreement such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Borrower with the terms of such Management Agreement as may be requested by Lender. Borrower shall exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of any Management Agreement upon demand by Lender made at any time within one (1) year of the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of Borrower, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.

(d) If (a) any Manager shall become insolvent or a debtor in (i) any involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding that is not dismissed within ninety (90) days of the filing thereof, or (ii) any voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; (b) there exists an Event of Default which remains uncured and is continuing; (c) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall be less than 1.10 to 1.00; (d) there exists a default by any Manager beyond all applicable notice and cure periods under any Management Agreement; (e) there occurs any fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or misappropriation of funds relating to the Property by any Manager; or (f) there occurs any change in Control of Manager, then Lender, at its option, may require Borrower to engage a manager or replace any existing Manager with a new manager (the “New Manager”) to manage the Property, which such New Manager shall be a Qualified Manager. New Manager shall be engaged by Borrower pursuant to a written management agreement and is otherwise satisfactory to Lender in all respects. New Manager and Borrower shall execute an Assignment of Management Agreement in the form then used by Lender. Without limitation of the foregoing, if required by Lender, Borrower shall, as a condition precedent to Borrower’s engagement of such New Manager, obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such New Manager and management agreement.

 

49


(e) In the event that the Borrower should ever elect to employ an affiliate or third party management company for the management of the Property, the Borrower agrees (A) that such management company must be a Qualified Manager, and the Management Agreement shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Lender, which approval may be granted or denied in Lender’s reasonable discretion, (B) that such management company shall receive a management fee reasonably acceptable to Lender, and (C) to execute (and to cause such management company to execute) an Assignment of Management Agreement.

(f) To the extent that any Manager is an Affiliated Manager, Borrower’s engagement of a Manager shall be subject to Borrower’s delivery to Lender of a New Non-Consolidation Opinion with respect to such New Manager and new management agreement.

 

  Section 4.16 Payment for Labor and Materials.

(a) Subject to Section 4.16(b), Borrower will promptly pay or cause to be paid when due all bills and costs for labor, materials, and specifically fabricated materials incurred in connection with the Property (any such bills and costs, a “Work Charge”) and, subject to Section 4.16(b), never permit to exist in respect of the Property or any part thereof any lien or security interest, even though inferior to the liens and the security interests hereof, and in any event never permit to be created or exist in respect of the Property or any part thereof any other or additional lien or security interest other than the liens or security interests created hereby and by the Security Instrument, except for the Permitted Encumbrances.

(b) Any Tenant, in accordance with the terms of its Lease and provided Borrower delivers notice to Lender promptly following Borrower’s receipt of notice or upon Borrower’s actual knowledge of a contest, or Borrower, after prior written notice to Lender, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Work Charge, the applicability of any Work Charge to Borrower or to the Property or any alleged non-payment of any Work Charge and defer paying the same, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all Applicable Law; (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay (or cause to be paid) any such contested Work Charge determined to be valid, applicable or unpaid; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Work Charge from the Property or Borrower shall have paid the same (or shall have caused the same to be paid) under protest; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure payment of such Work Charge, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender may apply any such security or part thereof, as necessary to pay for such Work Charge at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or non-payment of such Work Charge is finally established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in present danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.

 

50


  Section 4.17 Performance of Other Agreements.

Borrower shall not cancel or otherwise forgive or release any claim or debt (other than termination of Leases in accordance herewith) owed to Borrower by any Person if such cancellation or forgiveness has a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Borrower or the current and/or intended operation of the Property, except for adequate consideration or in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business (including Borrower’s determination that any account receivable is uncollectable).

 

  Section 4.19 ERISA.

(a) Borrower shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA or constitute a violation of any state statute, regulation or ruling impacting a Defined Benefit Plan or a governmental plan.

(b) Borrower shall deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested by Lender in its sole discretion, that (A) Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA; (B) Borrower is not subject to any state statute, regulation or ruling regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans; and (C) one or more of the following circumstances is true:

After the first appraisal, additional appraisals may be based on construction cost indices customarily employed in the trade. No omission on the part of Lender to request any such ascertainment shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations under this Subsection;

(ii) commercial general liability insurance against all claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, including “Dram Shop” or other liquor liability coverage if the Borrower sells or distributes alcoholic beverages from the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a general aggregate limit of not less than $2,000,000 and a per occurrence limit of not less than $1,000,000; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) contractual liability for all insured contracts; and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Articles 12 and 13 hereof to the extent the same is available;

All Net Proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this Subsection (the “Rent Loss Proceeds”) shall be held by Lender (1) during the continuation of a Cash Trap Event Period, in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement or (2) otherwise, in an Eligible

 

74


Account (which shall deemed to be included within the definition of the “Accounts” hereunder) and shall be applied to the obligations secured hereunder from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that (I) nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured hereunder on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the Rent Loss Proceeds and (II) in the event the Rent Loss Proceeds are paid in a lump sum in advance and Borrower is entitled to disbursement of such Rent Loss Proceeds in accordance with the terms hereof, Lender or Servicer shall hold such Rent Loss Proceeds in a segregated interest-bearing Eligible Account and Lender or Servicer shall estimate the number of months required for Borrower to restore the damage caused by the applicable Casualty, shall divide the applicable aggregate Rent Loss Proceeds by such number of months and shall disburse such monthly installment of Rent Loss Proceeds from such Eligible Account (1) during the continuation of a Cash Trap Event Period, into the Cash Management Account each month during the performance of such Restoration or (2) otherwise, to Borrower after Lender’s deduction therefrom of the amount of Debt Service and deposits into the Reserve Funds then due and payable hereunder;

Upon renewal of the Policies, Borrower shall deliver evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”).

(c) Except to the extent required pursuant to Section 7.1(a) hereof, Borrower shall not obtain (or permit to be obtained) (i) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, such Policy is approved in advance in writing by Lender and Lender’s interest is included therein as provided in this Agreement and such Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer, or (ii) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Subsection 7.1(a) to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, Borrower.

76


cause complete copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in Subsection 7.1(a). Any umbrella or blanket Policy remains subject to review and approval by Lender based on the schedule of locations and values.

(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Subsection 7.1(a) shall name Borrower as the named insured and, in the case of liability policies, except for the Policies referenced in Subsection 7.1(a)(v) and (xi), shall name Lender as additional insured, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property coverages, including but not limited to the all-risk/special form coverage, rent loss, business interruption, terrorism, boiler and machinery, earthquake and flood insurance, shall name Lender as mortgagee/lender’s loss payable by a standard noncontributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

(e) All property Policies of insurance provided for in Subsection 7.1(a) shall provide that:

(i) no (A) act, failure to act, violation of warranties, declarations or conditions, or negligence by Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or by any Tenant under any Lease or other occupant, (B) occupancy or use of the Property for purposes more hazardous than those permitted, (C) foreclosure or similar action by Lender, or (D) failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

(ii) the Policy shall not be cancelled without at least 30 days’ written notice to Lender;

(iii) each Policy shall provide that (A) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed ten (10) days prior to its expiration and (B) Lender is permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such Policy upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of Insurance Premiums; and

(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

Additionally, Borrower further covenants and agrees to promptly send to Lender any notices of non-renewal or cancellation it receives from the insurer with respect to the Policies required pursuant to this Section 7.1.

(f) Intentionally omitted.

(g) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

77


(h) In the event of a foreclosure of the Security Instrument or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest exclusively in Lender or the purchaser at such foreclosure or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

(i) As an alternative to the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 7.1, Borrower will not be in default under this Section 7.1 if Borrower maintains (or causes to be maintained) Policies which (i) have coverages, deductibles and/or other related provisions other than those specified above and/or (ii) are provided by insurance companies not meeting the credit ratings requirements set forth above (any such Policy, a “Non-Conforming Policy”), provided, that, prior to obtaining such Non-Conforming Policies (or permitting such Non-Conforming Policies to be obtained), (1) Borrower shall have received Lender’s prior written consent thereto and (2) if required by Lender, confirmed that Lender has received a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any such Non-Conforming Policy.

(j) The property, loss of rents/business interruption, general liability and umbrella liability insurance policies required in this Section 7.1 shall not exclude Terrorism Coverage (defined below) (such insurance policies, the “Applicable Policies”). Such Terrorism Coverage shall comply with each of the applicable requirements for Policies set forth above (including, without limitation, those relating to deductibles); provided that, Lender, at Lender’s option, may reasonably require Borrower to obtain or cause to be obtained the Terrorism Coverage with higher deductibles than set forth above. As used above, “Terrorism Coverage” shall mean insurance for acts of terror or similar acts of sabotage; provided, that, for so long as the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as extended and modified by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Authorization Act of 2007 (as the same may be further modified, amended, or extended, “TRIPRA”) (i) remains in full force and effect and (ii) continues to cover both foreign and domestic acts of terror, the provisions of TRIPRA shall determine what is deemed to be included within this definition of “Terrorism Coverage.”

(k) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to that portion of the Individual Property located at 2590 E. Highway 50, Clermont, Florida (“Walgreen Property”) leased to Walgreen Co. (“Walgreen Tenant”) pursuant to the Lease to Walgreen Co., dated November 12, 2002 (as the same may be amended or modified pursuant to the terms of this Lease, “Walgreen Lease”), to the extent: (i) the Walgreen Lease is in full force and effect, (ii) no default beyond any applicable notice and cure period has occurred and is continuing under the Walgreen Lease, (iii) the Walgreen Tenant or guarantor under the Walgreen Lease remains fully liable for the obligations and liabilities under the Walgreen Lease and maintains a rating from S&P of at least “BBB”, (iv) such Walgreen Lease will remain in full force and effect following a Casualty and Walgreen Tenant is obligated per the terms of the Walgreen Lease to rebuild and/or repair the Walgreen Property at its sole cost and expense and is entitled to no period of rent abatement, (v) Walgreen Tenant maintains, either through a program of self-insurance or otherwise, the insurance required to be maintained by it under the Walgreen Lease (vi) Walgreen

 

78


Tenant names Lender and Borrower as additional insured under the commercial general liability insurance policies or self-insurance required under the Walgreen Lease (inclusive of any required umbrella/excess liability as may be required under the Walgreen Lease), and (vii) Borrower shall have provided to Lender, evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Walgreen Tenant under such Walgreen Lease maintains in full force and effect the insurance described in clauses (v) and (vi) above (subsections (i) through (vii), collectively, the “Self-Insurance Requirements”), then Borrower shall be deemed in compliance with the requirements herein Section 7.1 as respects the Walgreen Property and Borrower will not be required to maintain the coverage required under Section 7.1 with respect to the Walgreen Property. If Walgreen Tenant fails to meet the Self-Insurance Requirements, then Borrower shall obtain, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, all insurance as required by this Section 7.1 which meets the requirements hereof providing coverage that will pay proceeds in an amount sufficient to restore the Walgreen Property to the extent such proceeds are not paid or otherwise made available under the insurance policies carried by Walgreen Tenant. Such insurance shall either be (x) “Primary” insurance coverage in the event that the Walgreen Tenant does not provide the applicable insurance coverage required in Section 7.1, or (y) “excess and contingent” insurance coverage, over and above any other valid and collectible coverage then in existence, in the event that Walgreen Tenant does not have sufficient coverage to meet the requirements under this Section 7.1, as shall be necessary to bring the insurance coverage for the Walgreen Property into full compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Section 7.1.

 

  Section 7.2 Casualty.

If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 7.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower’s obligations to promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property in accordance with this Section 7.2 or take other actions on the Property under this Section are subject to any restrictions on the property owner to take such actions contained in the applicable Leases. To the extent the obligations of Borrower to restore the Property or take other actions on the Property are the responsibility of Tenant pursuant to the applicable Lease, Borrower shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section so long as Borrower is asserting its rights and is using commercially reasonable efforts to enforce Tenant’s obligations under the applicable Lease including, without limitation, the exercise of remedies available under the applicable Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way limit Borrower’s obligations to Lender under this Section 7.2 and this Agreement.

 

  Section 7.3 Condemnation.

Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property of which Borrower has knowledge and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings.

 

79


Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 7.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. To the extent the obligations of Borrower to restore the Property or take other actions on the Property are the responsibility of Tenant pursuant to the applicable Lease, Borrower shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section so long as Borrower is asserting its rights and is using commercially reasonable efforts to enforce Tenant’s obligations under the applicable Lease including, without limitation, the exercise of remedies available under the applicable Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way limit Borrower’s obligations to Lender under this Section 7.3 and this Agreement.

 

  Section 7.4 Restoration.

The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:

(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Unless the terms of the Walgreen Lease require that Net Proceeds be used for the restoration of the Walgreen Property, if the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4.

(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:

 

  (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

 

80


  (B) Unless the terms of an Existing Lease require that Net Proceeds be used for the restoration of the affected Individual Property, (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are insurance proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of each of (i) the fair market value of the affected Individual Property as reasonably determined by Lender, and (ii) the rentable area of the affected Individual Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are condemnation proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of each of (i) the fair market value of the affected Individual Property as reasonably determined by Lender and (ii) the rentable area of the affected Individual Property is taken, such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the affected Individual Property, no portion of the Improvements is located on such land, and such taking does not materially impair the existing access to the affected Individual Property;

 

  (C) Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than 75% of the total rentable space in the affected Individual Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and Borrower furnishes to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that all Tenants under Major Leases shall continue to operate their respective space at the Property after the completion of the Restoration;

 

  (D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the issuance of a building permit with respect thereto or as required by the applicable Lease, whichever is earlier) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion in compliance with all Applicable Laws, in all material respects, including, without limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws;

 

  (E) Unless the terms of an Existing Lease require that Net Proceeds be used for the restoration of the affected Individual Property, Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1(a)(iii) above, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;

 

  (F)

Unless the terms of an Existing Lease require that Net Proceeds be used for the restoration of the affected Individual Property, Lender shall be satisfied that, upon the completion of the Restoration, the fair market value and cash flow of the affected Individual Property will not be less than the fair market value and cash flow of the affected Individual

 

81


  Property as the same existed immediately prior to the applicable Casualty or Condemnation (assuming the affected portion of the affected Individual Property is relet within a reasonable period after the date of such Casualty or Condemnation);

 

  (G) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date, (2) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1(a)(iii) above, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair and restore the affected Individual Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or taking, or (4) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Material Agreements or REA;

 

  (H) the affected Individual Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under any REA, any Material Agreements and all Applicable Law;

 

  (I) the Restoration shall be done and completed in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with any REA, any Material Agreements and all Applicable Law; and

 

  (J) Lender shall be satisfied that making the Net Proceeds available for Restoration shall be permitted pursuant to REMIC Requirements.

(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds (other than the Rent Loss Proceeds) shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.

(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld) and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). All such plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration shall be assigned to Lender as additional collateral for the Loan and Lender shall have the use of the same.

 

82


The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant (not to be unreasonably withheld). All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower. Borrower shall have the right to settle all claims under the Policies jointly with Lender, provided that (a) no Event of Default exists, (b) Borrower promptly and with commercially reasonable diligence negotiates a settlement of any such claims and (c) the insurer with respect to the Policy under which such claim is brought has not raised any act of the insured as a defense to the payment of such claim. If an Event of Default exists, Lender shall, at its election, have the exclusive right to settle or adjust any claims made under the Policies in the event of a Casualty.

(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” as used in this Section 7.4(b) shall mean an amount equal to 10% of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until such time as the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that Net Proceeds representing 50% of the required Restoration have been disbursed. There shall be no Restoration Retainage with respect to costs actually incurred by Borrower for work in place in completing the last 50% of the required Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 7.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage, provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, and the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company insuring the lien of the Security Instrument. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

 

83


(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.

(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 7.4(b)(vii) shall be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper; provided no Event of Default is continuing, without any prepayment fee or penalty. If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the lien of the Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt.

(d) Intentionally omitted.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.4 or anything herein to the contrary, this Section 7.4 is subject to the terms of Section 11.3 hereof to the extent applicable with respect to any Casualty or Condemnation.

Lender shall have the right to file a financing statement or statements under the UCC in connection with any of the Reserve Funds with respect thereto in the form required to properly perfect Lender’s security interest therein. Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Reserve Funds.

(d) The insufficiency of Reserve Funds on deposit with Lender shall not absolve Borrower of the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.

(e) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds, the sums deposited therein or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender, its agents or employees.

  Section 10.2 Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(g) above with respect to Borrower and SPE Component Entity only) and at any time thereafter Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity. Upon any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(g) above (with respect to Borrower and SPE Component Entity only), the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding.

Any such

 

93


actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by Applicable Law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Security Instrument as Lender may elect.

Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

 

94


(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.

(f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by Applicable Law), with interest as provided in this Section, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred through and including the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.

(ii) provide opinions of counsel, which may be relied upon by Lender, the Rating Agencies and their respective counsel, agents and representatives, as to non-consolidation, matters of Delaware (or Maryland, as applicable) (including authority-to-file insolvency) and federal bankruptcy law relating to limited liability companies or any other opinion customary in Secondary Market Transactions or required by the Rating Agencies with respect to the Property and Borrower and Borrower’s Affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

(iii) provide updated, as of the closing date of the Secondary Market Transaction, representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents and such additional representations and warranties as the Rating Agencies may require; and

(iv) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower or any SPE Component Entity’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the Securitization including, without limitation, bifurcation of the Loan into two or more components and/or separate notes and/or creating a senior/subordinate note structure (any of the foregoing, a “Loan Bifurcation”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document or organizational document if such modification or amendment would (A) change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, except in connection with a Loan Bifurcation which may result in varying fixed interest rates and amortization schedules, but which shall have the same initial weighted average coupon of the original Note or any other material economic or non-economic term of the Loan; (B) modify or amend any other material economic or material non-economic term of the Loan or the Loan Documents; or (C) materially increase Borrower’s obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents.

(c) If, at the time one or more Disclosure Documents are being prepared for a Securitization, Lender expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and Related Properties collectively, will be a Significant Obligor for purposes of such Securitization, Borrower shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to Lender upon request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, net operating income, described in Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan (or portion of the Loan included in such Securitization) and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in such Securitization or (ii) the financial statements described in Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan (or portion of the Loan included in such Securitization) together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such

 

96


Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan (or apportion of the Loan included in such Securitization) and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization. Such financial data or financial statements shall be furnished to Lender (A) within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Lender in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization, (B) not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrower and (C) not later than seventy-five (75) days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial statements pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) of this sentence with respect to any period for which an Exchange Act Filing is not required. If requested by Lender, and to the extent not prohibited by any applicable lease, other agreement or order, Borrower shall furnish to Lender financial data and/or financial statements for any tenant of any of the Properties if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects there to be, with respect to such tenant or group of affiliated tenants, a concentration within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization such that such tenant or group of affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor.

(d) All financial data and financial statements provided by Borrower hereunder pursuant to Section 11.1(c) and (d) hereof shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and other applicable legal requirements. All financial statements referred to in Section 11.1(c) above shall be audited by independent accountants of Borrower (which accountants shall be acceptable to Lender) in accordance with Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, shall be accompanied by the manually executed report of the independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and all applicable legal requirements, and shall be further accompanied by a manually executed written consent of the independent accountants, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, to the inclusion of such financial statements in any Disclosure Document and any Exchange Act Filing and to the use of the name of such independent accountants and the reference to such independent accountants as “experts” in any Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of which shall be provided at the same time as the related financial statements are required to be provided. All financial data and financial statements (audited or unaudited) provided by Borrower under Section 11.1(c) shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate stating that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this Section 11.1(d).

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

(f) In the event Lender determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the financial data and financial statements and (if applicable) related accountants’ reports and consents required in order to comply with Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or

 

97


replacement of Regulation AB or with other legal requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1(c) and (d), Lender may request, and Borrower shall promptly provide, such other financial statements and (if applicable) related accountants’ reports and consents as Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate for such compliance.

 

  Section 11.2 Securitization Indemnification.

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

(b) Borrower shall provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, an agreement (A) certifying that Borrower has examined such Disclosure Documents specified by Lender and that each such Disclosure Document, as it relates to Borrower, Borrower Affiliates, the Property, Manager, Guarantor and all other aspects of the Loan, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 11.2, Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of Wells Fargo that has filed the registration statement relating to the Securitization (the “Registration Statement”), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person that controls the Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Wells Group”), and Wells Fargo, and any other placement agent or underwriter with respect to the Securitization, each of their respective directors and each Person who controls Wells Fargo or any other placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the Wells Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such sections or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in such sections, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Wells Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Wells Group and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of

 

98


Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property (collectively, the “Provided Information”). The indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not the indemnification agreement described above is provided; provided, however, such indemnity shall be limited to the Provided Information and shall only be effective to the extent that Lender accurately states the Provided Information in the applicable Disclosure Document. The aforesaid indemnity will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.

(c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, Borrower shall (i) indemnify Lender, the Wells Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Wells Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Disclosure Document a material fact required to be stated in the Disclosure Document in order to make the statements in the Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Wells Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Wells Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities; provided, however, such indemnity shall be limited to the Provided Information and shall only be effective to the extent that Lender accurately states the Provided Information in the applicable Disclosure Document.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 11.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 11.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 11.2, such indemnified party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.

 

99


(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 11.2(b) or (c) hereof is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 11.2(b) or (c) hereof, the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) Wells Fargo’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

(f) Borrower shall jointly and severally indemnify Lender and its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates against any Losses to which Lender or its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates, may become subject in connection with any indemnification to the Rating Agencies in connection with issuing, monitoring or maintaining the Securities insofar as the Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in any information provided by or on behalf of Borrower to the Rating Agencies (the “Covered Rating Agency Information”) or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state a material fact in the Covered Rating Agency Information required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in Covered Rating Agency Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(g) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 11.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

 

  Section 11.3 REMIC Savings Clause.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the real property relating to the Property, the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining real property relating to the Property is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust and it being agreed and acknowledged that such loan-to-value determination shall be based on the value of only real property and shall exclude any personal property or going-concern value, if any), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by Borrower by an amount sufficient to satisfy REMIC Requirements, unless the Lender receives an opinion of counsel that the Loan will not fail to maintain its status as a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the IRS Code as a result of the related release of lien.

 

100


  Section 11.4 Servicer.

At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee selected by Lender (the “Servicer”) and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to such servicer/trustee pursuant to a servicing agreement between Lender and such Servicer; provided, however, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any monthly servicing fees to such Servicer.

 

  Section 11.5 Rating Agency Costs.

In connection with any Rating Agency Confirmation or other Rating Agency consent, approval or review required hereunder (other than the initial review of the Loan by the Rating Agencies in connection with a Securitization), Borrower shall pay all of the costs and expenses of Lender, Servicer and each Rating Agency in connection therewith, and, if applicable, shall pay any fees imposed by any Rating Agency in connection therewith.

 

  Section 11.6 Mezzanine Option.

Lender shall have the option (the “Mezzanine Option”) at any time to divide the Loan into two parts, a mortgage loan and a mezzanine loan, provided, that (i) the total loan amounts for such mortgage loan and such mezzanine loan shall equal the then outstanding amount of the Loan immediately prior to Lender’s exercise of the Mezzanine Option, and (ii) the weighted average interest rate of such mortgage loan and mezzanine loan shall initially equal the Applicable Interest Rate. Borrower shall, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, cooperate with Lender in Lender’s exercise of the Mezzanine Option in good faith and in a timely manner, which such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, (i) executing such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower or any SPE Component Entity’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies, (ii) creating one or more Single Purpose Entities (the “Mezzanine Borrower”), which such Mezzanine Borrower shall (A) own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the equity ownership interests in Borrower (the “Equity Collateral”), and (B) together with such constituent equity owners of such Mezzanine Borrower as may be designated by Lender, execute such agreements, instruments and other documents as may be required by Lender in connection with the mezzanine loan (including, without limitation, a promissory note evidencing the mezzanine loan and a pledge and security agreement pledging the Equity Collateral to Lender as security for the mezzanine loan); and (iii) delivering such opinions, title endorsements, UCC title insurance policies and other materials as may be required by Lender or the Rating Agencies.

 

  Section 11.7 Conversion to Registered Form.

At the request of Lender, Borrower shall appoint, as its agent, a registrar and transfer agent (the “Registrar”) reasonably acceptable to Lender which shall maintain, subject to such reasonable regulations as it shall provide, such books and records as are necessary for the registration and transfer of the Note in a manner that shall cause the Note to be considered to be in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the IRS Code. The option to convert the Note into registered form once exercised may not be revoked. Any agreement setting out the rights and obligation of the Registrar shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender.

 

101


Borrower may revoke the appointment of any particular person as Registrar, effective upon the effectiveness of the appointment of a replacement Registrar. The Registrar shall not be entitled to any fee from Borrower or Lender or any other lender in respect of transfers of the Note and other Loan Documents.

WAIVERS

 

  Section 16.1 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.

The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

 

  Section 16.2 Modification, Waiver in Writing.

No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

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

 

110


  Section 16.4 Waiver of Trial by Jury.

  Section 16.6 Remedies of Borrower.

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

 

  Section 16.7 Marshalling and Other Matters.

Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale under the Security Instrument of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein. Further, Borrower hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of the Security Instrument on behalf of Borrower, and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property subsequent to the date of the Security Instrument and on behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

 

111


  Section 16.8 Waiver of Statute of Limitations.

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower hereby expressly waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to payment of the Debt or performance of its obligations hereunder, under the Note, Security Instrument or other Loan Documents.

 

  Section 16.9 Waiver of Counterclaim.

Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.

 

  Section 16.10 Sole Discretion of Lender.

(a) Wherever pursuant to this Agreement (a) Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, (b) any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, or (c) any other decision or determination is to be made by Lender, the decision to approve or disapprove all decisions that arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, and all other decisions and determinations made by Lender, shall be in the sole discretion of Lender, except as may be otherwise expressly and specifically provided herein. Prior to a Securitization, whenever pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document the Rating Agencies are given any right to approve or disapprove any matter, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, to the extent not already required, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove such matter or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, shall be substituted therefor.

  Section 17.10 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender.

(b) This Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person

 

116


shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

(c) The general partners, members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners of Borrower are experienced in the ownership and operation of properties similar to the Property, and Borrower and Lender are relying solely upon such expertise and business plan in connection with the ownership and operation of the Property.

(f) Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that in accepting this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, Lender is expressly and primarily relying on the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement without any obligation to investigate the Property and notwithstanding any investigation of the Property by Lender; that such reliance existed on the part of Lender prior to the date hereof, that the warranties and representations are a material inducement to Lender in making the Loan; and that Lender would not be willing to make the Loan and accept the this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents in the absence of the warranties and representations as set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement.

 

  Section 17.11 Publicity; Advertising.

(a) Except for disclosures and reporting required by applicable Legal Requirements and communications with shareholders of Guarantor or other constituent entities of Borrower in the ordinary course of business, all news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, to Lender or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld.

Wherever the phrase “during the continuance of an Event of Default” or the like appears herein or in any other Loan Document, such phrase shall not mean or imply that Lender has any obligation to accept a cure of such Event of Default. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse-to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

 

  Section 17.13 Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

 

  Section 17.14 Liability.

If Borrower consists of more than one person, the obligations and liabilities of each such person hereunder shall be joint and several. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns forever.

 

  Section 17.15 Duplicate Originals; Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original. The failure of any party hereto to execute this Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder.

  Section 17.16 Contribution.

(a) In the event of (i) any payment by any one or more of the Borrowers of any amount in excess of the Allocated Loan Amount relating to an Individual Property owned by such Borrower together with interest thereon and any other amounts payable with respect thereto, and (ii) the foreclosure of, or the delivery of deeds in lieu of foreclosure relating to, any of the collateral owned by one or more of the Borrowers, each Borrower (the “Overpaying Borrower”) whose collateral or assets have been utilized to satisfy obligations under the Loan or otherwise for the benefit of one or more other Borrowers shall be entitled, after payment in full of the Note and the satisfaction of all the Borrowers’ other obligations to Lender, to contribution from each of the benefited Borrowers, for the amounts so paid, advanced or benefited, up to such benefited Borrower’s then current applicable Allocated Loan Amount.

(b) If a Borrower (a “Defaulting Borrower”) shall have failed to make a contribution payment as herein provided, after the payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all of the Borrowers’ other obligations to Lender, the Overpaying Borrower shall be subrogated to the rights of Lender against such Defaulting Borrower, including the right to receive a portion of the Collateral of such Defaulting Borrower in an amount equal to the contribution payment required hereunder that such Defaulting Borrower failed to make; provided, however, if Lender returns any payments in connection with a bankruptcy of a Borrower, all subrogated Borrowers shall jointly and severally repay Lender all such amounts repaid, together with interest at the rate set forth in the Note.

(c) At the request of any Borrower or Borrowers, upon such repayment of the Note in full and satisfaction of all other obligations of the Borrowers, Lender shall assign the applicable collateral, without recourse, to such Borrower or Borrowers; provided, that, if Lender shall have received conflicting requests from more than one Borrower to receive such collateral and such requesting Borrowers cannot agree as to the disposition of such collateral, Lender shall have no obligation to deliver such collateral to such requesting Borrowers unless and until such requesting Borrowers shall have agreed as to the disposition of such collateral and so authorized Lender. Provided Lender shall have received such authorization, Lender shall assign the collateral in question, without recourse, to the Borrower entitled to receive such collateral within ninety (90) days thereafter. Prior to delivering such collateral, Lender shall be entitled to receive from the requesting Borrower or Borrowers such other assurances, indemnities and agreements as may be reasonably requested by Lender.

(d) The liabilities and obligations of Borrower under this Section 17.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

 

  Section 17.17 Cross Default; Cross Collateralization.

Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of the

 

119


Properties taken separately. Borrower agrees that the Security Instruments are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Security Instruments shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Security Instruments which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Security Instrument; and (iii) each Security Instrument shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note.
