Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our audited Transition Report on Form 10-K/T for the five month transition period ended December 31, 2005.

In our opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (including those that are normal and recurring) that are necessary in the judgment of management for a fair presentation of such statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim reporting. In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, we established six new entities to support our planned growth and preparation for commercialization. Alexion Manufacturing, LLC and Alexion Delaware Holding, LLC are wholly owned by Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and both are Delaware limited liability companies. The partnership of Alexion Bermuda, LP is ninety-nine percent owned by Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and one percent owned by Alexion Delaware Holding, LLC and was formed under the laws of Bermuda as a limited partnership. Alexion International, Sarl is ninety-five percent owned by Alexion Bermuda, LP and five percent owned by Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and was formed under the laws of Switzerland as a limited liability company. Alexion Holding B.V. is registered as a corporation in Amsterdam (the Netherlands) and is wholly owned by Alexion Delaware Holding, LLC. Finally, Alexion Pharma France SAS, a simplified joint stock company, is registered under the laws of France and wholly owned by Alexion Holding B.V.. There were no material transactions that occurred in the newly formed entities during the nine month period ending September 30, 2006, except as noted in Note 8 and Note 9 to these condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Accounting for Share-Based Compensation

A summary of the status of our stock option plans at September 30, 2006 and changes during the nine months then ended is presented in the table and narrative below:

 

     Options     Weighted-
Average
Exercise Price

Options outstanding at December 31, 2005

Options granted

   1,297,200       28.16

Options cancelled

   (244,459 )     23.28

Options exercised

   (523,488 )     14.13
        

Options outstanding at September 30, 2006

   5,621,338       25.41
        

During the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2006, we recognized compensation expense of $4,040,241 and $10,009,256, respectively, for stock options and $528,179 and $1,393,188, respectively, for restricted stock, which were charged to our condensed consolidated statement of income. Due to our net loss position, a windfall tax benefit was not realized during the period.

A summary of the status of our non-vested restricted stock as of September 30, 2006, and changes during the nine months then ended are as follows:

SFAS 123R requires us to present pro forma information for periods prior to the adoption as if we had accounted for all share-based compensation under the fair value method of SFAS 123. For purposes of pro forma disclosure, the estimated fair value of the options at the date of grant is amortized to expense over the requisite service period, which generally equals the vesting period. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and earnings per share as if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to our share-based employee compensation.

3. Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the respective period. Diluted net loss per common share assumes, in addition to the above, the dilutive effect of other potential common shares outstanding during the period. Other potential common shares represent dilutive stock options, unvested restricted stock, and convertible debt. These outstanding stock options, convertible debt, and unvested restricted stock entitled holders to acquire 10,737,107 and 10,023,564 shares of common stock at September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. There is no difference in basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, as the effect of other potential common shares is anti-dilutive.

4. Capital Structure

During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, we issued 92,726 and 523,488 shares of common stock, respectively, with proceeds of $1,416,882 and $7,343,937, respectively, upon the exercise of outstanding stock options.

During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005, we issued 140,120 and 277,132 shares of common stock, respectively, with proceeds of $2,025,819 and $3,536,515 respectively, upon the exercise of

outstanding stock options. Additionally, during the three month period ended September 30, 2005, we increased our holdings of common stock in treasury by 11,727 shares through stock-based exercises of employee options. The shares were exchanged at fair market value of $325,206 in total.

In August 2005, we issued 2,500,000 shares of common stock in a public offering at $26.75 per share, resulting in gross proceeds from the sale of approximately $66,875,000. We incurred underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $2,145,000 or $0.86 per share as well as other expenses, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $64,517,000.

6. Income Taxes

The Company has net operating loss and federal and state research and development credit carry forwards of approximately $493,000,000 and $17,800,000 respectively as of December 31, 2005. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains certain provisions that can limit a taxpayer’s ability to utilize net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards in any given year resulting from cumulative changes in ownership interests in excess of 50 percent over a three-year period. We have determined that these limiting provisions were triggered. However, such limitation is not expected to result in the loss of the federal net operating loss and research and development credit carry forward.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

We enter into agreements that contain indemnification provisions under our agreements with other companies in our ordinary course of business, typically with business partners, clinical sites, and suppliers. Pursuant to these agreements, we generally indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified parties in connection with any U.S. patent or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to our products, or otherwise in connection with the use or testing of our product candidates. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual. The potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. We have not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of September 30, 2006.

8. Property, Plant, and Equipment

In July 2006, our wholly owned affiliate, Alexion Manufacturing, LLC purchased the former Dow manufacturing facility in Smithfield, Rhode Island for $13,000,000. The biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility will be used primarily to produce Soliris™ (eculizumab). In accordance with the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated April 13, 2006, “the Agreement”, we deposited into an escrow account $500,000 upon execution of the Agreement on April 13, 2006 and an additional $500,000 upon the completion of the due diligence period, which was ninety days after the agreement date. The deposits were held in escrow until the closing date at which time the escrowed amounts and the remaining balance, net of property taxes owed for the first part of the year, of $11,926,289 was paid to Dow.

9. Debt

In July 2006, our wholly owned affiliate Alexion Manufacturing, LLC, entered into a mortgage loan agreement to borrow $26,000,000 to finance the purchase and construction of our Smithfield, Rhode Island manufacturing facility. The mortgage loan bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 9.17% and all obligations under the loan agreement are guaranteed by Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The loan principal is required to be repaid in equal monthly installments of $288,889, starting March 2009 and until August 2016, at which time all outstanding balances are due. The loan may not be prepaid in whole or in part prior to July 2009. After that date the loan can be prepaid in whole, but not in part, and must include a prepayment premium as described in the loan agreement. In the event that approval to market Soliris™ (eculizumab) has not been obtained before December 31, 2007, Alexion Manufacturing LLC must deliver an acceptable letter of credit to the lender for the amount of $13,000,000. Also, included in the loan agreement are certain provisions which, if satisfied, would allow for additional borrowings of up to $9,000,000.

Under the terms of the agreement, among other things, Alexion Manufacturing is restricted with respect to additional borrowings, leasing arrangements and mergers. Alexion Manufacturing also may not modify, amend, or waive

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

material obligations with respect to, or terminate, material agreements or proprietary rights, or engage in any business other than ownership and operation of facility. Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. may not, among other things, liquidate, wind-up or dissolve as long as the guarantee remains in effect.

As a condition of the loan, Alexion Manufacturing, LLC is required to maintain restricted cash accounts. These accounts must be used specifically for the purchase and construction of the manufacturing facility. The lender has a first priority security interest and the right to approve all disbursements from the accounts holding restricted cash. Under the agreement, we are required to, at all times, maintain a balance in the restricted cash accounts sufficient to complete the project.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2006, the FASB approved the issuance of FASB Interpretation FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (as amended).” This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Additionally, this Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Interpretation is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006 with earlier application permitted. For Alexion, the effective date will be the first quarter of 2007. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this accounting principal on its financial position and results of operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements that have been made pursuant to the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by our management and may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the potential benefits and commercial potential of Soliris™ (eculizumab), clinical trial results, completion of the SHEPHERD trial for Soliris™ (eculizumab), prospects for and timing of regulatory approval for Soliris™ (eculizumab), the uncertainties involved in the drug development process, the safety and efficacy of our product candidates, our future research and development activities, estimates of the potential markets for our products (for example, estimates regarding the number of PNH patients), assessment of competitors and potential competitors, estimates of the capacity of manufacturing and other facilities to support our products, the sufficiency of our existing capital resources and projected cash needs, sales and marketing plans, as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may, “ “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict; therefore, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in any such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed later in this report under the section entitled “Risk Factors”. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, readers should carefully review the risk factors set forth in other reports or documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim financial statements and this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the five month transition period ended December 31, 2005 and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, both of which are contained in our Transition Report on Form 10-K/T for the five month transition period ended December 31, 2005.

Business

We are a biotechnology company working to develop and deliver life-changing drug therapies for patients with serious and life-threatening medical conditions. We are engaged in the discovery and development of therapeutic products aimed at treating patients with a wide array of severe disease states, including hematologic diseases, cancer, and autoimmune disorders. Since our incorporation in January 1992, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to drug discovery, research, and product and clinical development. In September 2005, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Alexion Europe SAS to support commercial and regulatory operations throughout Europe.

In September 2006, we filed a Biologics License Application, or BLA, with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and a European Marketing Authorization Application, or MAA, in Europe, for Soliris™ (eculizumab) for the treatment of a rare blood disorder known as Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria, or PNH. The Phase III clinical development program for Soliris™ (eculizumab) in PNH is comprised of two Phase III clinical trials, known as TRIUMPH and SHEPHERD. The FDA agreed to the design of the protocols for these two trials under the Special Protocol Assessment, or SPA, process. TRIUMPH is a placebo-controlled efficacy trial and SHEPHERD is an open-label, non-placebo controlled safety trial with efficacy secondary endpoints. In January 2006, we reported positive results from TRIUMPH which were also published in the September 2006 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. All pre-specified, primary and secondary endpoints in the TRIUMPH trial were achieved with statistical significance. SHEPHERD is a twelve month study with a six month preplanned interim analysis. In June 2006, we reported positive six month results from SHEPHERD. Soliris™ (eculizumab) appeared to be safe and well tolerated during that six month period. In addition, all pre-specified primary and secondary efficacy endpoints in the trial were achieved with statistical significance for the six month period. The data from TRIUMPH and SHEPHERD served as the primary basis for the BLA and MAA submitted in the United States and Europe, respectively. We have requested priority review designation for the BLA from the FDA. Our MAA has been granted accelerated

assessment by the European Medicines Evaluation Agency, or EMEA, for Soliris (eculizumab) in Europe. Accelerated Assessment is given by the EMEA for medicinal products of major therapeutic interest and shortens the timeframe for review by that agency. Additionally, we have been notified by the EMEA that the MAA has been validated and that the assessment procedure has commenced.

Our second clinical stage product candidate, pexelizumab, has been evaluated in Phase III clinical trials for two separate indications: (1) coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and (2) acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous angioplasty. As previously announced, results from those Phase III clinical trials did not achieve their primary endpoints and will not be sufficient for filing for licensing approval in those indications. Pexelizumab development is conducted in collaboration with Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals, or P&GP. We have held discussions with P&GP regarding the pexelizumab program, and we do not currently intend to continue development of pexelizumab in the CABG or AMI indications.

In July 2006, we acquired a manufacturing plant in Smithfield, Rhode Island. We intend to equip and develop the plant in accordance with FDA and other regulatory requirements to manufacture Soliris (eculizumab) and other product candidates.

In addition to our Phase III programs, we are developing a global patient registry for PNH patients and have initiated the EXPLORE trial to investigate the frequency of undiagnosed PNH patients who have been diagnosed with other bone marrow failure diseases such as aplastic anemia and myelodysplasia. We intend to pursue additional indications for Soliris (eculizumab), and have other product candidates in earlier stages of development.

To date, we have not received any revenues from the sale of our products. We have incurred operating losses since our inception. As of September 30, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of $598,331,000. We expect to incur substantial operating losses for the next several years due to expenses associated with product research and development, pre-clinical studies and clinical testing, regulatory activities, manufacturing development, scale-up and commercial-scale manufacturing, pre-commercialization and commercialization activities, developing a sales and marketing force, establishing European and other regional headquarters, and other infrastructure support costs. We may need to obtain additional financing to cover these costs.

We plan to develop and commercialize on our own those product candidates for which the clinical trials and commercialization requirements can be funded and accomplished by our own resources. For those products which require greater resources, our strategy is to form corporate alliances for product development and commercialization.

We earned revenues of approximately $263,000 and $384,000 for the three months ended and $1,370,000 and $1,116,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Revenue reflects the amortization of deferred revenue resulting from cash received from P&G under our collaboration for the development and commercialization of pexelizumab, U.S. government funded research grant revenue related to our research programs, and a nonrefundable fee for exclusive access to our xenotransplantation technologies, a program that was terminated in October 2003.

Research and development expenses decreased approximately $10,583,000 for the three months and $15,423,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to the same periods in 2005, respectively, primarily due to:

 

    decrease in clinical development expenses of $6,111,000 and $11,706,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively, due to the completion of the PRIMO-CABG2 and APEX AMI clinical trials. The decreased cost for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 was partially offset by clinical cost increases of $4,695,000 for the SHEPHERD and extension studies supporting our development of Soliris (eculizumab);

 

    decrease in manufacturing and manufacturing development costs of $8,508,000 and $13,863,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively, related primarily to the decreased eculizumab manufacturing costs in 2006, partially offset by the recognition of a liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 related to our third party pexelizumab manufacturing agreement;

 

    increase of $1,684,000 and $3,286,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively, in discovery research costs primarily due to the recognition in the first quarter of 2005 of deferred expense related to our terminated collaboration with XOMA, resulting in a reduction of research and development cost in the first quarter of 2005; and

 

    increase of 2,673,000 and $7,087,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively, in research and development payroll and benefit costs. The increases resulted from the expensing of share-based compensation as required by SFAS 123R amounting to $2,498,000 and $6,578,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively, as well as increased headcount to support our research and development activities.

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $5,706,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and $14,872,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to the same periods of 2005, primarily due to:

 

    higher payroll and benefits costs of $3,921,000 for the three month period and $8,533,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 primarily resulting from growth of our headcount dedicated to commercial development activities and the expensing of share-based compensation of $2,070,000 and $4,824,000 during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively;

 

    increased administrative costs related to Alexion Europe of approximately $2,000,000 for the three month period and $4,800,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006; and

 

    an increase of $1,029,000 and $2,432,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively, for professional fees, recruitment expenses, public relations and other items related to commercial development.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 were approximately $33,326,000 and $97,569,000 compared to approximately $38,203,000 and $98,120,000 for the same periods ended September 30, 2005, respectively.

Other Income and Expense

Investment income was approximately $1,801,000 and $5,740,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $1,618,000 and $4,696,000 for the same periods in 2005, respectively. The increase was due primarily to higher interest rates.

Interest expense was approximately $687,000 and $2,062,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, as compared to approximately $736,000 and $3,477,000 for the same period in 2005, respectively. The decrease in interest expense is attributable to the lower interest rate for the 1.375% convertible senior notes as compared to the 5.75% convertible subordinated notes which were repaid in March 2005. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, we recorded a loss from early extinguishment of the 5.75% convertible subordinated notes, which consisted of the write-off of the remaining balance of the deferred financing costs of approximately $1,212,000 and the redemption premium of approximately $1,972,000.

Income Taxes

We recorded a state tax benefit of approximately $90,000 and $270,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared to approximately $363,000 and $704,000 for the same period in 2005, respectively. The benefit is the result of the exchange for cash of our estimated 2005 and 2006 non-incremental research and development tax credits with the State of Connecticut.

The company has net operating loss and federal and state research and development credit carry forwards of approximately $493 million and $17.8 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2005. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains certain provisions that can limit a taxpayer’s ability to utilize net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards in any given year resulting from cumulative changes in ownership interests in excess of 50 percent over a three-year period. We have determined that these limiting provisions were triggered, however, such limitation would not result in the loss of the federal net operating loss and research and development credit carry forward.

Net Loss

The company incurred a net loss for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 of approximately $31,872,000 and $92,264,000 or $1.02 and $2.96 per common share, respectively, versus a net loss of approximately $36,574,000 and $98,265,000 or $1.24 and $3.45 per common share, respectively, for the same periods in 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary source of cash is through public offerings of our common stock and the sale of convertible notes. Also, as described in detail below, in July 2006, we entered into a mortgage loan agreement to fund the purchase and construction of a manufacturing plant. Other sources include debt financing, payments received under corporate collaborations and grants, and equipment and leasehold improvements financing. Our primary use of cash includes business development activities and research and development.

As of September 30, 2006, cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were approximately $143,848,000 compared with $212,456,000 at December 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to cash used to fund operating activities. As of September 30, 2006, $33,184,000 of cash was restricted.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $81,936,000. The decrease compared to the same period in the previous year is primarily due to decreased clinical trial and research and development activities as compared to the same period in 2005.

Investing Activities

Net cash utilized for investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $44,957,000. This included proceeds of approximately $98,379,000 from marketable securities, net of purchases of marketable securities, approximately $20,238,000 of property, plant and equipment additions, and setting aside $33,184,000 in restricted cash pursuant to the terms of our mortgage loan.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $33,396,000, consisting of proceeds from our mortgage loan of $26,000,000 and proceeds from the issuance of common stock related to the exercise of stock options of approximately $7,396,000.

Sufficiency of Cash Resources

We anticipate that our existing capital resources as well as interest and investment income earned on available cash and marketable securities should provide us adequate resources to fund our operating expenses and capital requirements as currently planned for at least the next twelve months.

Financial Instruments

As of September 30, 2006, the market value of our $150,000,000 1.375% convertible senior notes due February 1, 2012, based on quoted market prices, was estimated at $188,812,500. The $59,062,500 increase from December 31, 2005 is attributable to the increase in the price of our common stock.

Mortgage Loan

In July 2006, our wholly owned affiliate Alexion Manufacturing, LLC entered into a mortgage loan agreement to borrow $26,000,000 to finance the purchase and construction of our Smithfield, Rhode Island manufacturing facility. The mortgage loan bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 9.17% and all obligations under the loan agreement are guaranteed by Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The loan principal is required to be repaid in equal installments, starting March 2009 and until August 2016, at which time all outstanding balances are due. The loan may not be prepaid in whole or in part prior to July 2009. After that date the loan can be prepaid in whole, but not in part, and must include a prepayment premium as described in the loan agreement. In the event that approval to market Soliris (eculizumab) is not obtained before December 31, 2007, Alexion Manufacturing LLC must deliver an acceptable letter of credit to the lender for the amount of $13,000,000. Also, included in the loan agreement are certain provisions which, if satisfied would allow for additional borrowings of $9,000,000.

Under the terms of the agreement, among other things, Alexion Manufacturing is restricted with respect to additional borrowings, leasing arrangements and mergers. Alexion Manufacturing also may not modify, amend, or waive material obligations with respect to, or terminate, material agreements or proprietary rights, or engage in any business other than ownership and operation of facility. Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. may not, among other things, liquidate, wind-up or dissolve as long as the guarantee remains in effect.

As a condition of the loan, Alexion Manufacturing, LLC is required to maintain restricted cash accounts. These accounts must be used specifically for the purchase and construction of the manufacturing facility. The lender has a first priority security interest and the right to approve all disbursements from the accounts holding restricted cash. Under the agreement, we are required to, at all times, maintain a balance in the restricted cash accounts sufficient to complete the project.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

In July 2006, our wholly owned affiliate, Alexion Manufacturing, LLC purchased the former Dow manufacturing facility in Smithfield, Rhode Island for $13,000,000. The biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility will be used primarily to produce Soliris (eculizumab). In accordance with the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated April 13, 2006, we deposited into an escrow account $500,000 upon execution of the Agreement on April 13, 2006 and an additional $500,000 upon the completion of the due diligence period, in July 2006. The deposits were held in escrow until the closing date at which time the escrowed amounts and the remaining balance, net of property taxes owed for the first part of the year, of $11,926,289 was paid to Dow.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our critical accounting policies are summarized in our Transition Report on Form 10-K/T for the five-month transition period ended December 31, 2005, in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates.” We have reviewed those policies and determined that they remain our critical accounting policies for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2006, the FASB approved the issuance of FASB Interpretation FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (as amended).” This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Additionally, this Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Interpretation is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006 with earlier application permitted. For Alexion, the effective date will be the first quarter of 2007. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this accounting principal on its financial position and results of operations.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” The Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. The Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. For us, the effective date was the first quarter of 2006. The adoption of this accounting principle did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In March 2004, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments.” EITF 03-1 provides guidance on other-than-temporary impairment models for marketable debt and equity securities accounted for under SFAS 115 and non-marketable equity securities accounted for under the cost method. The EITF developed a basic three-step model to evaluate whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired. In November 2005, the FASB approved the issuance of FASB Staff Position “FSP” FAS No. 115-1 and FAS 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments.” The FSP addresses when an investment is considered impaired, whether the impairment is other-than-temporary and the measurement of an impairment loss. The FSP also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary. The FSP is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005 with earlier application permitted. For us, the effective date was the first quarter of 2006. The adoption of this accounting principle did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risks

As of September 30, 2006, we held approximately 52% of our cash and investments in financial instruments with original maturity dates of three months or less which includes restricted cash, 22% in financial instruments with original maturity dates of greater than three months and less than one year, and the remaining 26% in financial instruments with original maturity dates of equal to or greater than one year and less than two years. These financial instruments are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value if interest rates increase. We estimate that a change of 100 basis points in interest rates would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $423,000 in the fair value of our cash and investments, which had a weighted average duration of approximately 3 months at September 30, 2006.

Our outstanding long-term liabilities as of September 30, 2006 included our $150,000,000, 1.375% Convertible Senior Notes due February 1, 2012. As the notes bear interest at a fixed rate, our results of operations would not be affected by interest rate changes. As of September 30, 2006, the market value of our $150,000,000 1.375% convertible senior notes due February 1, 2012, based on quoted market prices, was estimated at $188,812,500.

In July 2006, Alexion Manufacturing borrowed $26,000,000 to purchase and finance construction of the Smithfield, Rhode Island manufacturing facility. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate. Accordingly, any changes in the interest rate will not affect our future payments on the loan.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

We have carried out an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving control objectives and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based upon their evaluation and subject to the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level in ensuring that material information relating to us and required to be included in the reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) is accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer or other persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required under paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the following risk factors before you decide to invest in our Company and our business because these risk factors may have a significant impact on our business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flows. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Need for Additional Capital

If we continue to incur operating losses, we may be unable to continue our operations.

We have incurred losses since we started our company in January 1992. As of September 30, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $598,331,000. If we continue to incur operating losses and fail to become a profitable company, we may be unable to continue our operations. Since we began our business, we have focused on research and development of product candidates. Although we have submitted for filing a BLA with the FDA in the United States and an MAA in Europe for Soliris (eculizumab), we have no products that are available for sale and do not know when we will have products available for sale, if ever. We expect to continue to operate at a net loss for at least the next several years as we continue our research and development efforts, continue to conduct clinical trials and develop manufacturing, sales, marketing and distribution capabilities. Our future profitability depends on our receiving regulatory approval of our product candidates and our ability to successfully manufacture and market approved drugs. The extent and the timing of our future losses and our profitability, if we are ever profitable, are highly uncertain.

If we fail to obtain the capital necessary to fund our operations, we will be unable to continue or complete our product development.

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will provide sufficient capital to fund our operations and product development for at least twelve months. We may need to raise additional capital before or after that time to complete the development and continue the commercialization of our product candidates. We are currently preparing for the commercialization of Soliris (eculizumab) and conducting or evaluating several clinical trials. Funding needs may shift between projects and potentially accelerate and increase as we get closer to commercialization of Soliris (eculizumab) or if we initiate new clinical trials for our product candidates.

Additional financing could take the form of public or private debt or equity offerings, equity line facilities, bank loans, collaborative research and development arrangements with corporate partners and/or the sale or licensing of some of our property. The amount of capital we may need depends on many factors, including:

 

    the time and cost necessary to obtain regulatory approvals;

 

    the time and cost necessary to develop sales, marketing and distribution capabilities;

 

    the cost necessary to sell, market and distribute our products, if any are approved;

 

    the time and cost necessary to purchase or to further develop manufacturing processes, arrange for contract manufacturing or build manufacturing facilities and obtain the necessary regulatory approvals for those facilities;

 

    changes in applicable governmental regulatory policies or requests by regulatory agencies for additional information or data;

 

    the existence, terms, maintenance, termination and status of collaborative arrangements and strategic partnerships, such as our collaboration with Procter & Gamble, or P&G;

    the progress, timing and scope of our research and development programs;

 

    the progress, timing and scope of our preclinical studies and clinical trials;

 

    any new collaborative, licensing or other commercial relationships that we may establish.

We may not get funding when we need it or funding may only be available on unfavorable terms. If we cannot raise adequate funds to satisfy our capital requirements, we may have to delay, scale-back or eliminate our research and development activities or future operations. We might have to license our technology to others. This could result in sharing revenues that we might otherwise retain for ourselves. Any of these actions would harm our business.

We are significantly leveraged.

On September 30, 2006, we had outstanding $150,000,000 principal amount of 1.375% convertible senior notes. On July 11, 2006, our subsidiary Alexion Manufacturing borrowed $26,000,000 to finance the purchase and construction of our Smithfield, Rhode Island manufacturing facility which may not be prepaid in whole or in part prior to July 11, 2009. The loan is guaranteed by us and bears a fixed annual rate of 9.17%. Our 1.375% convertible senior notes and the mortgage loan remain outstanding, and the degree to which we are leveraged could, among other things:

 

    make it difficult for us to make payments on our notes and our loan;

 

    make it difficult for us to obtain financing for working capital, acquisitions or other purposes on favorable terms, if at all;

 

    make us more vulnerable to industry downturns and competitive pressures; and

 

    limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to changes in, our business.

Our ability to meet our debt service obligations will depend upon our future performance, which will be subject to financial, business and other factors affecting our operations, many of which are beyond our control.

Risks Related to Our Business

We depend heavily on the success of our lead product candidate, Soliris (eculizumab), which is still under development. If we do not obtain FDA approval of Soliris (eculizumab) or if FDA delays approval or narrows the indications for which we may market Soliris (eculizumab), our business will be materially harmed.

We recently submitted for filing a BLA to the FDA in the United States and an MAA in Europe for Soliris (eculizumab) for the treatment of PNH. In the near term our ability to generate revenues will depend on approval and successful commercialization of Soliris (eculizumab). The commercial success of Soliris (eculizumab) will depend on several factors, including the following:

 

    acceptance of our applications for filing;

 

    successful completion of our ongoing Phase III clinical trial for Soliris (eculizumab);

 

    receipt of marketing approvals from the FDA and similar foreign regulatory authorities;

 

    establishing commercial manufacturing capabilities ourselves or through third-party manufacturers;

 

    successfully launching commercial sales of the product;

 

    the number of patients with PNH that may be treated with the product; and

    acceptance of the product in the medical community and by third-party payers.

The FDA and other regulatory agencies may refuse to accept our regulatory applications for review and may require additional information or data prior to acceptance. Even if our applications are accepted for review, we may not receive required regulatory approvals on a timely basis or at all. The approval process can involve additional lengthy clinical testing and other costly and time-consuming procedures.

Several biotechnology companies have failed to obtain regulatory approvals because regulatory agencies were not satisfied with the structure or conduct of clinical trials or the formatting or content of regulatory submissions. Similar problems could delay or prevent us from obtaining approvals. Furthermore, regulatory authorities, including the FDA, may not agree with our interpretations of our clinical trial data, which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approvals. In addition, before a product candidate is approved for marketing, we, or any third-party manufacturing our product, are subject to inspection of the manufacturing facilities and the FDA will not approve the product for marketing if we or our third-party manufacturers are not in compliance with current good manufacturing practices.

Even if the FDA and similar foreign regulatory authorities do grant marketing approval for Soliris (eculizumab), they may narrow the indications for which we are permitted to market the product, may pose other restrictions on the use or marketing of the product, or may require us to conduct additional post-marketing trials. A narrowed indication or other restrictions may limit the market potential for the product and obligation to conduct additional clinical trials would likely result in increased expenditures and lower revenues. If we are not successful in commercializing Soliris (eculizumab), or are significantly delayed or limited in doing so, our business will be materially harmed and we may need to curtail or cease operations.

Inability to contract with third-party manufacturers on commercially reasonable terms, or failure or delay by us or our third-party manufacturers, in manufacturing our drug products in the volumes and quality required, would have a material adverse effect on our business.

We have no experience or capacity for manufacturing drug products in volumes that would be necessary to support commercial sales and we can provide no assurance that we will be able to do so successfully. We depend on a few outside suppliers for manufacturing. Our small, clinical-scale manufacturing plant cannot manufacture enough of our product candidates for later stage clinical development or commercial supply. We do not have the capacity to produce more than one product candidate at a time in that plant. We acquired a commercial-scale manufacturing plant in Smithfield, Rhode Island in July, 2006. However, that plant is not currently equipped or approved by the FDA or other regulatory agencies to manufacture Soliris (eculizumab) or our other drug candidates. We expect that it will be at least two years before the plant is capable of making product for commercial sale. We have no experience in developing commercial-scale manufacturing of the sort anticipated in Smithfield, Rhode Island. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to develop the Smithfield, Rhode Island site into a plant capable of manufacturing our drug products under conditions required by the FDA or foreign regulatory agencies on a timely basis, if at all. Our plant in Smithfield, Rhode Island will be subject to FDA inspection and approval before we can begin manufacturing Soliris (eculizumab) there and will continue to be subject to ongoing FDA inspections thereafter. Our Smithfield, Rhode Island plant will also be subject to European regulatory inspection and approval before we can begin manufacturing Soliris (eculizumab) there for European sales and will continue to be subject to ongoing European regulatory inspection thereafter.

We have executed a commercial-scale product supply agreement with Lonza for the long-term manufacture of eculizumab. The failure of Lonza to manufacture appropriate supplies of eculizumab on a timely basis, or at all, may prevent or impede the commercialization of Soliris (eculizumab). If eculizumab is approved for sale, we expect that Lonza or we would be required to manufacture substantially more material than we have required for clinical and preclinical trials. We and our outside manufacturers may experience higher manufacturing failure rates than in the past if and when we attempt to substantially increase production volume. If we experience interruptions in the manufacture of our products, our drug development and commercialization efforts will be delayed. If any of our outside manufacturers stops manufacturing our products or reduces the amount manufactured, or is otherwise unable to manufacture our required amounts at our required quality, we will need to find other alternatives, which is likely to be expensive and time consuming, and even if we are able to find alternatives they may ultimately be insufficient

for our needs. As a result, our ability to conduct testing and drug trials and our plans for commercialization would be materially adversely affected. Submission of products and new development programs for regulatory approval, as well as our plans for commercialization, would be delayed. Our competitive position and our prospects for achieving profitability would be materially and adversely affected.

Manufacture of drug products, including the need to develop and utilize manufacturing processes that consistently produce our drug products to their required quality specifications, is highly regulated by the FDA and other domestic and foreign authorities. Regulatory authorities must approve the facilities in which our products are manufactured prior to granting market approval for any product candidate. Manufacturing facilities are also subject to ongoing inspections, and minor changes in manufacturing processes may require additional regulatory approvals. We cannot assure you that we or our third-party collaborators will successfully comply with all of those requirements and regulations, which failure would have a materially adverse effect on our business.

Manufacture of our drug products is highly technical and only a few third-parties have the ability and capacity to manufacture our drug products for our development and commercialization needs. We can not assure you that these potential third-party collaborators will agree to manufacture our products on our behalf on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If we do achieve agreement from one or more third parties to manufacture our drug products, we cannot assure you that they will be able or willing to honor the terms of the agreements, including any obligations to manufacture the drug products in accordance with regulatory requirements and to our quality specifications and volume requirements. Due to the highly technical requirements of manufacturing our drug products, our third-party collaborators and we may be unable to manufacture our drug products despite their and our efforts.

Due to the nature of the current market for third-party commercial manufacturing, many arrangements require substantial penalty payments by the customer for failure to use the manufacturing capacity for which it contracted. We could owe substantial penalty payments to Lonza if we were not to use the manufacturing capacity for which we contracted, and we could be required to share with P&G, on up to a 50-50 basis, substantial penalty payments owed by P&G for its failure to utilize the manufacturing capacity it contracted for with Chiron Corporation for the supply of pexelizumab. Penalty payments under these agreements typically decrease over the life of the agreement, and may be substantial initially and de minims or non-existent in the final period. The payment of a substantial penalty would harm our financial condition.

If we are unable to establish sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, or to enter into agreements with third parties to do so, we will be unable to successfully market and sell future drug products.

We have no experience with marketing, sales and distribution of drug products and have only recently established pre-commercial capability in those areas. If we are unable to establish capabilities to sell, market and distribute our products, either by developing our own capabilities or entering into agreements with others, we will not be able to successfully sell Soliris (eculizumab) or our future drug products. In that event, we will not be able to generate significant revenues. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to hire the qualified sales and marketing personnel we need. We may not be able to enter into any marketing or distribution agreements with third-party providers on acceptable terms, if at all.

If we are unable to obtain reimbursement for our future products from government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other organizations, our products may be too costly for regular use and our ability to generate revenues would be harmed.

Soliris (eculizumab), if commercialized, is likely to be significantly more expensive than traditional drug treatments. Our future revenues and profitability will be adversely affected if we cannot depend on governmental, private third-party payers and other third-party payers, including Medicare and Medicaid, to defray the cost of Soliris (eculizumab) to the consumer. If these entities refuse to provide coverage and reimbursement with respect to Soliris (eculizumab) or determine to provide an insufficient level of coverage and reimbursement, Soliris (eculizumab) may be too costly for general use, and physicians may not prescribe it. Many third-party payers cover only selected drugs, making drugs that are not preferred by such payer more expensive for patients, and require prior authorization or failure on another type of treatment before covering a particular drug. Third-party payers may be especially likely to impose these obstacles to coverage for higher-priced drugs, which we anticipate Soliris (eculizumab) to be.

In addition to potential restrictions on coverage, the amount of reimbursement for our products may also reduce our profitability and worsen our financial condition. In the United States and elsewhere, there have been, and we expect there will continue to be, actions and proposals to control and reduce healthcare costs. Government and other third-party payers are challenging the prices charged for healthcare products and increasingly limiting and attempting to limit both coverage and level of reimbursement for prescription drugs.

Since Soliris (eculizumab) will likely be too expensive for most patients to afford without health insurance coverage, if adequate coverage and reimbursement by third-party payers is not available, our ability to successfully commercialize Soliris (eculizumab) may be adversely impacted. Any limitation on the use of Soliris (eculizumab) or any decrease in the price of Soliris (eculizumab) will have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve profitability.

In certain foreign countries, pricing, coverage and level of reimbursement of prescription drugs are subject to governmental control and we may be unable to negotiate coverage, pricing, and reimbursement on terms that are favorable to us. In some foreign countries, the proposed pricing for a drug must be approved before it may be lawfully marketed. The requirements governing drug pricing vary widely from country to country. For example, the European Union provides options for its member states to restrict the range of medicinal products for which their national health insurance systems provide reimbursement and to control the prices of medicinal products for human use. A member state may approve a specific price for the medicinal product or it may instead adopt a system of direct or indirect controls on the profitability of the company placing the medicinal product on the market. Our results of operation may suffer if we are unable to market our products in foreign countries or if coverage and reimbursement for our products in foreign countries is limited.

If the testing or use of our products harms people, or is perceived to harm patients even when such harm is unrelated to our products, our clinical trials may be adversely affected, our regulatory approval process could be delayed, negatively impacted or abandoned, any regulatory approvals could be revoked or otherwise negatively impacted, and we could be subject to costly and damaging product liability claims.

The testing, manufacturing, marketing and sale of drugs for use in humans exposes us to product liability risks. Side effects and other problems from using our products could cause serious adverse events and give rise to product liability claims against us. We might have to withdraw or recall our products from the marketplace. Some of these risks are unknown at this time.

We have tested Soliris (eculizumab) in only a small number of patients. If our applications for marketing Soliris (eculizumab) are approved and more patients begin to use our product, new risks and side effects associated with Soliris (eculizumab) may be discovered, and risks previously viewed as inconsequential could be determined to be significant. As a result, regulatory authorities may delay or revoke their approvals; we may be required to conduct additional clinical trials, make changes in labeling of our product, reformulate our product or make changes and obtain new approvals for our and our suppliers’ manufacturing facilities. We may also experience a significant drop in the potential sales of our product if and when regulatory approvals for Soliris (eculizumab) are obtained, experience harm to our reputation in the marketplace or become subject to lawsuits, including class actions. Any of these results could decrease or prevent any sales of Soliris (eculizumab) or substantially increase the costs and expenses of commercializing and marketing Soliris (eculizumab).

We may be sued by people who participate in our trials or who use our products. Many patients who participate in our trials or use our products are already very ill. Any informed consents or waivers obtained from people who enroll in our trials or use our products may not protect us from liability or litigation. Our product liability insurance may not cover all potential types of liabilities or may not cover covered types of liabilities completely. Moreover, we may not be able to maintain our insurance on acceptable terms. In addition, negative publicity relating to the use of our product or to a product liability claim may make it more difficult, or impossible, for us to recruit patients for our clinical trials or to market and sell our products. As a result of these factors, a product liability claim, even if successfully defended, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our clinical trials are often conducted with patients who have severe and advanced stages of disease when they enter our trials. Patients involved in clinical trials such as ours often have known as well as unknown significant pre-existing health risks. During the course of a trial, patients may suffer adverse events, including death, for reasons that may or may not be related to our products. Such events could subject us to costly litigation, require us to pay substantial amounts of money to injured patients or delay, negatively impact or end our opportunity to receive regulatory approval to market our products. Even in a circumstance in which we do not believe that an adverse event is related to our product, the investigation into the circumstance may be time consuming or may be inconclusive. These investigations may delay our regulatory approval process, impact and limit the type of regulatory approvals our products receive, or end our opportunity to receive regulatory approval. PNH patients in our trials sometimes have additional, pre-existing, potentially life-threatening disease, including for example bone marrow failure.

Some patients who have participated in our PNH trials have died or suffered potentially life-threatening diseases either during or after ending study-specified treatments. In particular, use of C5 Inhibitors, such as eculizumab, is associated with an increased risk for infection with Neisseria bacteria. Serious cases of Neisseria infection can result in severe illness, including but not limited to brain damage, loss of limbs or parts of limbs, kidney failure, or death. PNH patients in our TRIUMPH and SHEPHERD trials all received vaccination against the Neisseria bacteria prior to first administration of eculizumab; however, vaccination does not eliminate all risk of becoming infected with Neisseria bacteria. Some patients in our trials of eculizumab for the treatment of PNH and other diseases have become infected with Neisseria bacteria, including PNH patients in the open-label extension trial E05-001 who had been vaccinated against Neisseria bacteria. Each such incident has been reported to appropriate regulatory agencies in accordance with relevant regulations.

We are also aware of a potential risk for PNH patients who delay a dose of Soliris (eculizumab) or discontinue their treatment of Soliris (eculizumab). Treatment with Soliris(eculizumab) blocks complement and allows complement-sensitive PNH red blood cells to increase in number. If treatment with Soliris (eculizumab) is thereafter delayed or discontinued, a greater number of red blood cells therefore would become susceptible to destruction when the patient’s complement system is no longer blocked. The rapid destruction of a larger number of a patient’s red blood cells may lead to numerous complications, including death. Several PNH patients in our studies of Soliris (eculizumab) have received delayed doses or discontinued their treatment. In none of those circumstances were complications from rapid destruction of a larger number of PNH red blood cells observed to be significant; however, we have not studied the delay or termination of treatment in enough patients to determine that complications in the future are unlikely to occur. Determination of significant complications associated with the delay or discontinuation of Soliris (eculizumab) could have a material adverse effect on our ability to sell eculizumab for PNH.

If we are unable to engage and retain third-party collaborators, our research and development efforts may be delayed.

We depend upon third-party collaborators to assist us in the development of our product candidates. If any of our existing collaborators breaches or terminates its agreement with us or does not perform its development work under an agreement in a timely manner, or at all, we would experience significant delays in the development or commercialization of our product candidates. We would also experience significant delays if we could not engage additional collaborators when required. In either event, we would be required to devote additional funds or other resources to these activities or to terminate them. Either of these events would divert funds or other resources from other parts of our business.

We cannot assure you that:

 

    our current collaboration arrangements will continue in their current form;

 

    we will be able to negotiate acceptable collaborative agreements to develop or commercialize our product candidates;

 

    any arrangements with third parties will be successful; or

 

    current or potential collaborators will not pursue treatments for other diseases or seek other ways of developing treatments for our disease targets.

If our competitors get to the marketplace before we do with better or cheaper drugs, our drugs may not be profitable to sell or to continue to develop.

Each of Abbott Laboratories Inc., Adprotech Ltd., Avant Immunotherapeutics, Inc., Baxter International, Inc., Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Neurogen Corporation, Tanox, Inc., XOMA, Ltd., and Archemix Corporation have publicly announced their intentions to develop drugs which target the inflammatory effects of complement in the immune system. We are also aware that GlaxoSmithKline, plc, Merck & Co., Inc., and Pfizer, Inc. have had programs develop complement inhibitor therapies. Each of AstraZeneca, MorphoSys AG and Dyax Corporation has publicly announced intentions to develop therapeutic human antibodies from libraries of human antibody genes. Additionally, each of Amgen, Inc. and Medarex, Inc. has publicly announced intentions to develop therapeutic human antibodies from mice that have been bred to include some human antibody genes. These and other pharmaceutical companies, many of which have significantly greater resources than we, may develop, manufacture, and market better or cheaper drugs than our product candidates. They may establish themselves in the marketplace even before we are able to finish our clinical trials. Other pharmaceutical companies also compete with us to attract academic research institutions as drug development partners, including for licensing these institutions’ proprietary technology. If our competitors successfully enter into such arrangements with academic institutions, we will be precluded from pursuing those unique opportunities and may not be able to find equivalent opportunities elsewhere.

If we fail to recruit and retain personnel, our research and product development programs may be delayed.

We are highly dependent upon the efforts of our senior management and scientific personnel, particularly Dr. Leonard Bell, M.D., our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors, David W. Keiser, our President, Chief Operating Officer and a member of our Board of Directors, and Stephen P. Squinto, Ph.D., our Executive Vice President and Head of Research. There is intense competition in the biotechnology industry for qualified scientific and technical personnel. Since our business is very science-oriented and specialized, we need to continue to attract and retain such people. We may not be able to continue to attract and retain the qualified personnel necessary for developing our business. We have employment agreements with Dr. Bell, Mr. Keiser, and Dr. Squinto. None of our key personnel is nearing retirement age or to our knowledge, planning to retire. To our knowledge, there is no tension between any of our key personnel and the Board of Directors. If we lose the services of our management and scientific personnel and fail to recruit other scientific and technical personnel, our research and product development programs will be materially and adversely affected.

In particular, we highly value the services of Dr. Bell, our Chief Executive Officer. The loss of his services could materially and adversely affect our ability to achieve our objectives.

We are subject to environmental laws and potential exposure to environmental liabilities.

We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that govern our operations, including the handling and disposal of non-hazardous and hazardous wastes, including medical and biological wastes, and emissions and discharges into the environment, including air, soils and water sources. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations could result in costs for corrective action, penalties or the imposition of other liabilities. We also are subject to laws and regulations that impose liability and clean-up responsibility for releases of hazardous substances into the environment. Under certain of these laws and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of property may be liable for the costs of remediating its property or locations to which wastes were sent from its facilities, without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or necessarily caused, the contamination. Such obligations and liabilities, which to date have not been material, could have a material impact on our business and financial condition.

We may expand our business through acquisitions that could disrupt our business and harm our financial condition.

Our business strategy includes expanding our products and capabilities, and we may seek acquisitions to do so. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including:

 

    substantial cash expenditures;

 

Page 23


Table of Contents

ALEXION PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

 

    potentially dilutive issuance of equity securities;

 

    incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, some of which may be difficult or impossible to identify at the time of acquisition;

 

    difficulties in assimilating the operations of the acquired companies;

 

    diverting our management’s attention away from other business concerns;

 

    risks of entering markets in which we have limited or no direct experience; and

 

    the potential loss of our key employees or key employees of the acquired companies.

We cannot assure you that any acquisition will result in short-term or long-term benefits to us. We may incorrectly judge the value or worth of an acquired company or business. In addition, our future success would depend in part on our ability to manage the rapid growth associated with some of these acquisitions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to make the combination of our business with that of acquired businesses or companies work or be successful. Furthermore, the development or expansion of our business or any acquired business or companies may require a substantial capital investment by us. We may not have these necessary funds or they might not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. We may also seek to raise funds by selling shares of our capital stock, which could dilute current stockholders’ ownership interest in our company, or securities convertible into our capital stock, which could dilute current stockholders’ ownership interest in our company upon conversion.

Our ability to use net operating loss carry forwards to reduce future tax payments may be limited if there is a change in ownership of Alexion.

As of December 31, 2005, we had approximately $493 million of net operating loss carry forwards, or NOLs, available to reduce taxable income in future years. We believe that some of these NOLs are currently subject to an annual limitation under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Our ability to utilize our NOLs may be further limited if we undergo an ownership change, as defined in section 382, as a result of subsequent changes in the ownership of our outstanding stock. We would undergo an ownership change if, among other things, the stockholders, or group of stockholders, who own or have owned, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of the value of our stock, or are otherwise treated as 5% stockholders under section 382 and the regulations promulgated there under, increase their aggregate percentage ownership of our stock by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of our stock owned by these stockholders at any time during the testing period, which is generally the three-year period preceding the potential ownership change. In the event of an ownership change, section 382 imposes an annual limitation on the amount of post-ownership change taxable income a corporation may offset with pre-ownership change NOLs. The limitation imposed by section 382 for any post-change year would be determined by multiplying the value of our stock immediately before the ownership change (subject to certain adjustments) by the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate. Any unused limitation may be carried over to later years, and the limitation may under certain circumstances be increased by built-in gains which may be present with respect to assets held by us at the time of the ownership change that are recognized in the five-year period after the ownership change. Our use of NOLs arising after the date of an ownership change would not be affected.

Risks Related to Our Industry

We are subject to extensive government regulation, and, if we do not obtain and maintain regulatory approvals, we will not be able to sell our drug products.

We and our partners cannot sell or market our products without regulatory approval. If we or our partners do not obtain and maintain regulatory approval for our products, the value of our company and our results of operations will

be harmed. In the United States, we or our partners must obtain and maintain approval from the FDA for each indication for each drug that we intend to sell and for each facility where such drug is manufactured. Obtaining FDA approval is typically a lengthy and expensive process, and approval is highly uncertain. Foreign governments also regulate drugs distributed outside the United States and facilities outside the United States where such drugs are manufactured, and obtaining their approvals can also be lengthy, expensive and highly uncertain. The approval process varies from country to country and the requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product manufacturing, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary greatly from country to country. In certain foreign jurisdictions we would be required to obtain pricing approvals prior to marketing our products. None of our product candidates has received regulatory approval to be marketed and sold in the United States or any other country. We may not receive regulatory approval for any of our product candidates for at least the next several years, if ever.

We and our partners, contract manufacturers and suppliers are subject to rigorous and extensive regulation by the FDA, other federal and state agencies, and governmental authorities in other countries. These regulations apply both before and after approval of our product candidates, if our product candidates are ever approved, and cover, among other things, testing, manufacturing, quality control, labeling, advertising, promotion, and export of biologics. As a condition of approval for marketing our product, FDA, or governmental authorities in other countries may require us to conduct additional clinical trials. Our manufacturing and other facilities and those of any third parties manufacturing our products will be subject to inspection prior to grant of marketing approval and subject to continued review and periodic inspections by the regulatory authorities. Any third party we would use to manufacture our products for sale must also be licensed by applicable regulatory authorities. Failure to comply with the laws, including statutes and regulations, administered by the FDA or other agencies could result in:

 

    administrative and judicial sanctions, including, warning letters;

 

    fines and other civil penalties;

 

    delays in approving or refusal to approve a product candidate;

 

    withdrawal of a previously granted approval;

 

    product recall or seizure;

 

    interruption of production;

 

    operating restrictions;

 

    injunctions; and

 

    criminal prosecution.

The discovery of previously unknown problems with a product or the facility used to produce the product could result in a regulatory authority imposing restrictions on us, or could cause us to voluntarily adopt such restrictions, including withdrawal of one or more of our products or services from the market.

We may be unable to obtain necessary regulatory approvals in the United States and foreign countries on a timely basis, if at all, for any of our product candidates or maintain such approvals if obtained. Any delays in obtaining necessary regulatory approvals or failure to maintain them could prevent us from marketing our products.

The FDA has granted orphan drug designation for eculizumab in the treatment of PNH and membranous nephritis. Orphan drug designation does not convey any advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the FDA review and approval process. If a product which has an orphan drug designation is the first drug of its type to receive FDA approval for the indication for which it has such designation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, i.e., the FDA may not approve any other applications to market the same drug for the same indication for a period of seven years, except in limited circumstances.

If our drug trials are delayed or achieve unfavorable results, we will have to delay or may be unable to obtain regulatory approval for our products.

We must conduct extensive testing of our product candidates before we can obtain regulatory approval for our products. We need to conduct both preclinical animal testing and clinical human trials. These tests and trials may not achieve favorable results. The FDA typically requires two well controlled clinical trials that demonstrate efficacy in order to obtain FDA approval to market a product candidate. The special protocol assessment for our development of Soliris (eculizumab) for PNH provides for only a single efficacy trial and the FDA has indicated that the trials should provide compelling evidence of clinically meaningful benefit in order to warrant consideration for marketing approval. The FDA has noted that a study that is merely statistically positive may not provide the evidence necessary to support filing or approval of a product candidate.

The FDA and other regulatory agencies may require additional information or data prior to and after acceptance of our BLA and MAA for Soliris (eculizumab) for PNH. We may have to conduct additional lengthy clinical testing and other costly and time-consuming procedures. Inconclusive or negative final data from our 12 month Phase III SHEPHERD trial would have a significant negative impact on our prospects. Even if we view the data as positive, the FDA may not agree with our interpretations of our clinical trial data for Soliris (eculizumab) and may decide that our results are not adequate to support approval for marketing of Soliris (eculizumab). In those circumstances, we would not be able to obtain regulatory approval on a timely basis, if ever. Even if approval is granted, the approval may require limitations on the indicated uses for which the drug may be marketed. In addition to the FDA and other regulatory agency regulations in the United States, we are subject to a variety of foreign regulatory requirements governing human clinical trials, marketing and approval for drugs, and commercial sales and distribution of drugs in foreign countries. The foreign regulatory approval process includes all of the risks associated with FDA approval as well as country-specific regulations. Whether or not we obtain FDA approval for a product, we must obtain approval of a product by the comparable regulatory authorities of foreign countries before we can commence clinical trials or marketing of the product in those countries.

Completion of clinical trials does not guarantee advancement to the next phase of development.

Completion of clinical trials does not guarantee that we will initiate additional trials for our product candidates, that if the trials are initiated what the scope and phase of the trial will be or that they will be completed, or that if the trials are completed, that the results will provide a sufficient basis to proceed with further trials or to apply for or receive regulatory approvals or to commercialize products. Results of trials could be inconclusive, requiring additional or repeat trials. If the results achieved in our clinical trials are insufficient to proceed to further trials or to regulatory approval of our product candidates our company could be materially adversely affected. Failure of a trial to achieve its pre-specified primary endpoint generally increases the likelihood that additional studies will be required if we determine to continue development of the product candidate, reduces the likelihood of timely development of and regulatory approval to market the product candidate, and may decrease the chances for successfully achieving the primary endpoint in scientifically similar indications.

There are many reasons why drug testing could be delayed or terminated.

For human trials, patients must be recruited and each product candidate must be tested at various doses and formulations for each clinical indication. Also, to ensure safety and effectiveness, the effect of drugs often must be studied over a long period of time, especially for the chronic diseases that we are studying. Unfavorable results or insufficient patient enrollment in our clinical trials could delay or cause us to abandon a product development program. We may decide to abandon development of a product candidate at any time, or we may have to spend considerable resources repeating clinical trials or conducting additional trials, either of which would increase costs and delay any revenue from those product candidates, if any.

Additional factors that can cause delay, impairment or termination of our clinical trials or our product development efforts include:

 

    slow patient enrollment, including for example due to the rarity of the disease being studied;

 

Page 26

    long treatment time required to demonstrate effectiveness;

 

    lack of sufficient supplies of the product candidate;

 

    disruption of operations at the clinical trial sites;

 

    adverse medical events or side effects in treated patients;

 

    the failure of patients taking the placebo to continue to participate in our clinical trials;

 

    insufficient clinical trial data to support effectiveness of the product candidates;

 

    lack of effectiveness of the product candidate being tested;

 

    lack of sufficient funds;

 

    inability to manufacture sufficient quantities of the product candidate for development or commercialization activities in a timely and cost-efficient manner; or

 

    failure to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals for the product candidate or the approvals for the facilities in which such product candidate is manufactured.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

If we cannot protect the confidentiality and proprietary nature of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position will be harmed.

Our business requires using sensitive technology, techniques and proprietary compounds that we protect as trade secrets. However, since we are a small company, we also rely heavily on collaboration with suppliers, outside scientists and other drug companies. Collaboration presents a strong risk of exposing our trade secrets. If our trade secrets were exposed, it would help our competitors and adversely affect our business prospects.

In order to protect our drugs and technology more effectively, we need to obtain and maintain patents covering the drugs and technologies we develop. We may obtain patents through ownership or license. Our drugs are expensive and time-consuming to test and develop. Without patent protection, competitors may copy our methods, or the chemical structure or other aspects of our drugs. Even if we obtain and maintain patents, the patents may not be broad enough to protect our drugs from copycat products.

If we are found to be infringing on patents owned by others, we may be forced to pay damages to the patent owner and obtain a license to continue the manufacture, sale or development of our drugs and/or pay damages. If we cannot obtain a license, we may be prevented from the manufacture, sale or development of our drugs.

Parts of our technology, techniques and proprietary compounds and potential drug candidates, including those which are in-licensed, may be found to infringe patents owned by or granted to others. If we cannot resolve these conflicts, we may be liable for damages, be required to obtain costly licenses or be stopped from manufacturing, using or selling our products or conducting other activities. For example, we are aware of broad patents owned by others relating to the manufacture, use and sale of recombinant humanized antibodies, recombinant humanized single chain antibodies, recombinant human antibodies, and recombinant human single chain antibodies. Many of our product candidates, including our lead product candidate, eculizumab, are either genetically engineered antibodies, including recombinant humanized antibodies, recombinant humanized single chain antibodies, recombinant human antibodies, or recombinant human single chain antibodies.

We have received notices from the owners of some of these patents claiming that their patents may be infringed by the development, manufacture or sale of some of our drug candidates, including eculizumab. We are also aware of other patents owned by third parties that might be claimed to be infringed by the development and commercialization of some of our drug candidates, including eculizumab. In respect to some of these patents, we have obtained licenses, or expect to obtain licenses. However, with regard to other patents, we have either determined in our judgment that:

 

    we believe our products do not infringe the patents;

 

Page 27


Table of Contents

ALEXION PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

 

    we do not believe the patents are valid; or

 

    we have identified and are testing various modifications that we believe should not infringe the patents and which should permit commercialization of our product candidates.

Any holder of these patents or other patents covering similar technology could sue us for damages and seek to prevent us from manufacturing, selling or developing our drugs. Legal disputes can be costly and time consuming to defend. If any patent holder successfully challenges our judgment that our products do not infringe their patents or that their patents are invalid, we could be required to pay costly damages or to obtain a license to sell or develop our drugs. A required license may be costly or may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. A costly license, or inability to obtain a necessary license, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

There can be no assurance that we would prevail in a patent infringement action; will be able to obtain a license to any third-party patent on commercially reasonable terms; successfully develop non-infringing alternatives on a timely basis; or license alternative non-infringing technology, if any exists, on commercially reasonable terms. Any impediment to our ability to manufacture or sell approved forms of our product candidates could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

If the trading price of our common stock continues to fluctuate in a wide range, our stockholders will suffer considerable uncertainty with respect to an investment in our common stock.

The trading price of our common stock has been volatile and may continue to be volatile in the future. Factors such as announcements of fluctuations in our or our competitors’ operating results or clinical or scientific results, fluctuations in the trading prices or business prospects of our competitors and collaborators, changes in our prospects, particularly with respect to regulatory approval of Soliris (eculizumab), and market conditions for biotechnology stocks in general could have a significant impact on the future trading prices of our common stock and our convertible senior notes. In particular, the trading price of the common stock of many biotechnology companies, including ours, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have at times been unrelated to the operating performance of the companies whose stocks were affected. This is due to several factors, including general market conditions, the announcement of the results of our clinical trials or product development and the results of our attempts to obtain FDA approval for our products. In particular, since August 1, 1999, the sales price of our common stock has ranged from a low of $9.05 per share to a high of $119.88 per share. While we cannot predict our future performance, if our stock price continues to fluctuate in a wide range, an investment in our common stock may result in considerable uncertainty for an investor.

Anti-takeover provisions of Delaware law, provisions in our charter and bylaws and our stockholders’ rights plan, or poison pill, could make a third-party acquisition of us difficult and may frustrate any attempt to remove or replace our current management.

Because we are a Delaware corporation, the anti-takeover provisions of Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us, even if the change in control would be beneficial to stockholders. We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Laws, which prohibits a person who owns in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock from merging or combining with us for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person acquired in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock, unless the merger or combination is approved in a prescribed manner.

Our corporate charter and by-law provisions and stockholder rights plan may discourage certain types of transactions involving an actual or potential change of control that might be beneficial to Alexion or its stockholders. Our bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, the President,

 

Page 28


Table of Contents

ALEXION PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

 

the Secretary, or a majority of the Board of Directors, or upon the written request of stockholders who together own of record 50% of the outstanding stock of all classes entitled to vote at such meeting. Our bylaws also specify that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors. Our certificate does not include a provision for cumulative voting for directors which may have enabled a minority stockholder holding a sufficient percentage of a class of shares to elect one or more directors. Under our certificate of incorporation, our board of directors has the authority, without further action by stockholders, to designate up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. The rights of the holders of common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock that may be issued in the future.

Pursuant to our stockholder rights plan, each share of common stock has an associated preferred stock purchase right. The rights will not trade separately from the common stock until, and are exercisable only upon, the acquisition or the potential acquisition through tender offer by a person or group of 20% or more of the outstanding common stock. The rights are designed to make it more likely that all of our stockholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event of any proposed takeover of us and to guard against the use of partial tender offers or other coercive tactics to gain control of us.

These provisions could delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change in control of us or our management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current prices. These provisions could also limit the ability of stockholders to remove current management or approve transactions that stockholders may deem to be in their best interests and could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

Item 5. Other Information

Purchase of Manufacturing Facility

As described in Item 2 of Part I, on July 13, 2006, our wholly owned affiliate, Alexion Manufacturing LLC purchased a manufacturing facility in Smithfield, Rhode Island from Dow Chemical Company for $13,000,000. The biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility will be used primarily to produce Soliris (eculizumab). Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated April 13, 2006, or the purchase agreement, we acquired rights to approximately a 55,000 square foot facility, certain equipment located at, or used in connection with, the facility and certain rights under service contracts related to the facility. We deposited into an escrow account $500,000 upon execution of the purchase agreement on April 13, 2006 and an additional $500,000 upon the completion of the due diligence period in July 2006. The deposits were held in escrow until the closing date at which time the escrowed amounts and the remaining balance, net of property taxes owed for the first part of the year, of $11,926,289 was paid to Dow.

Mortgage Loan Agreement

As described in Item 2 of Part I, on July 11, 2006, Alexion Manufacturing entered into certain loan contracts, including the Loan and Security Agreement, or the loan agreement, and the Promissory Note, or the promissory note, with iStar Financial, Inc., as a lender, to borrow $26,000,000 to finance the purchase and construction of our Smithfield, Rhode Island manufacturing facility. On the closing date, Alexion Manufacturing paid iStar a commitment fee of $390,000.

The mortgage loan is evidenced by the promissory note and all obligations under the loan are guaranteed by Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. pursuant to the Completion, Payment, and Performance Guaranteed entered into on July 11, 2006. To further secure its performance of its obligations under the loan agreement, Alexion Manufacturing entered into the Construction Mortgage Deed, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement on July 11, 2006 which, among other things, grants the lender a security interest in the facility and the inventory, accounts and other property of Alexion Manufacturing.

The loan bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 9.17%, and in the event of default, as described below, the rate increases to 14.17%. Interest-only payments are due monthly beginning with the closing of the transaction, and the loan principal plus interest payments are due in equal installments monthly beginning March 2009 and until August 2016, at which time all outstanding balances are due. The loan may not be prepaid in whole or in part prior to July

 

Page 29


Table of Contents

ALEXION PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

 

2009. After that date the loan can be prepaid in whole, but not in part, and must include a prepayment premium as described in the loan agreement. In the event that approval to market Soliris (eculizumab) in the United States or Europe has not been obtained before December 31, 2007, Alexion Manufacturing is obligated to deliver an acceptable letter of credit to the lender for the amount of $13,000,000.

Under the terms of the agreement, among other things, Alexion Manufacturing is restricted with respect to additional borrowings, leasing arrangements and mergers. Alexion Manufacturing also may not modify, amend, or waive material obligations with respect to, or terminate, material agreements or proprietary rights, or engage in any business other than ownership and operation of the Smithfield, Rhode Island facility. Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. may not, among other things, liquidate, wind-up or dissolve as long as the guarantee remains in effect.

As a condition of the loan, Alexion Manufacturing is required to maintain restricted cash accounts. These accounts are restricted as to use specifically for the purchase and construction of the manufacturing facility. The lender has a first priority security interest and the right to approve all advances from the accounts holding restricted cash. We are required to, at all times, maintain a balance in the restricted cash accounts sufficient to complete the project. On the date of closing of the transaction, the balance of restricted cash was $35,807,244.

Lender has a right to approve all disbursements from the accounts to pay construction and development costs in connection with the facility and to require that certain conditions be satisfied prior to making disbursements, including sufficiency of funds to pay the remaining costs of the project. Prior to receiving a disbursement, Alexion Manufacturing is required to, among other things, comply with all conditions reasonably imposed by iStar and also confirm that all representations and warranties are still true; certify all expenses to be verified by the lender; represent that all work complies with applicable legal requirements and all necessary licenses and approvals have been obtained.

Lender also has a right from time to time to estimate the costs associated with completion of construction and to determine whether the amounts held in the restricted cash accounts are sufficient. Should it be determined that the funds are insufficient, Alexion Manufacturing would have ten business days to make a deposit of sufficient funds. Failure to do so would be considered an event of default.

The loan agreement specifies a number of other events of default (some of which are subject to applicable cure periods), including the failure to make payments when due; breach of representations and warranties; failure to deliver a $13,000,000 letter of credit if marketing approval for Soliris (eculizumab) is not received in the United States or Europe prior to December 31, 2007; default in performance of or compliance with any term contained in the loan agreement or other loan contracts; voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy; change in control of Alexion Manufacturing; and noncompliance with covenants and defaults under other agreements or instruments of indebtedness by Alexion Manufacturing or Alexion. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lender may take one or more actions, including declaring all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable, taking possession of the facility, applying all funds contained in the restricted cash accounts to satisfy obligations; discontinuing any construction work; causing construction work to be completed; and ceasing loan disbursements.

Alexion manufacturing is required to indemnify the lender in connection with a variety of claims, including related to or out of (i) any breach by Alexion Manufacturing or Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in the loan agreement or other contracts, (ii) actual or threatened spill, leakage or clean-up of hazardous material affecting the facility or any violation of any applicable environmental law, and (iii) use of proceeds of the loan. In addition, in connection with the loan agreement, Alexion Manufacturing entered into an Environmental Indemnity Agreement on July 11, 2006 to specifically indemnify the lender against claims arising from the presence or release of hazardous materials at the facility.

Provided that no event of default exists and approval to market Soliris (eculizumab) in the US or Europe is obtained prior to or on December 31, 2007, Alexion Manufacturing may request a loan for an additional $9,000,000 on the terms described in the loan agreement.

5. CONVEYANCE: At Closing, Seller shall convey fee simple title to the Property to Buyer by the Deed concurrently with Buyer’s performance of its Closing obligations under this Agreement.

6. TITLE REPORT/SURVEY:

 

A. As soon as reasonably possible but no later than 30 days following the Effective Date, Buyer shall, at Buyer’s expense, have ordered a preliminary title report a/k/a title commitment (“Preliminary Title Report”) on the Property, and its appurtenant rights, together with copies of all exceptions, issued by Escrow Agent, or an issuing agent of Escrow Agent. Buyer shall obtain a new survey of the Property of sufficient quality to permit the Escrow Agent to remove the standard survey exception from the owner’s title policy to be obtained by Buyer (the “Survey”). No later than the fortieth (40th) day after the Effective Date, Buyer shall advise Seller and Escrow Agent in writing of any Preliminary Title Report or Survey exceptions, not permitted by this Agreement, which Buyer does not accept (which are not Permitted Encumbrances) (“Title and Survey Objections”). If Buyer makes any timely Title and Survey Objections, Buyer shall simultaneously deliver to Seller a copy of the Preliminary Title Report and Survey together with a copy of any recorded document on which such Title and Survey Objections, or any part thereof, are based. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, Seller shall have no obligation to remove any “Title or Survey Objections” except for liens and mortgages of an ascertainable amount created, assumed or caused by Seller (“Seller’s Liens”), and intervening encumbrances which are recorded after the Preliminary Title Report and Seller has expressly agreed to remove pursuant to the terms herein, which Seller’s Liens and such intervening encumbrances Seller shall cause to be released of record at or prior to Closing (with Seller having the right to apply the Purchase Price or a portion thereof for such purpose). If Buyer fails to notify Seller of any Title or Survey Objections within said period of time, all Title or Survey Objections, if any, shall be deemed waived, except Seller’s Liens shall not be deemed waived. If Buyer timely notifies Seller and Escrow Agent of any Title or Survey Objections, the Closing Date may, at Seller’s sole option, to be exercised in a notice to Buyer delivered within ten (10) days of Seller’s receipt of the Title or Survey Obligations, be adjourned for a period of up to thirty (30) days in order to enable Seller to cure such Title or Survey Objections. If at the date to which Closing is adjourned Seller is unable or unwilling to remove such Title or Survey Objections, Buyer may:

 

  (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, in which event Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit, together with interest thereon, to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations of any nature to the other hereunder or by reason hereof except those that expressly survive termination of this Agreement; or

 

  (ii) accept such title as Seller can convey without any reduction or abatement of the Purchase Price and without any present or future claim against Seller relating to any Title or Survey Objections.

 

7


Between the date of the Agreement and a Closing hereunder, Seller shall not voluntarily encumber the title or permit any encumbrance on title to the Property with any liens which shall not be fully released on or prior to Closing hereunder. In the event any involuntary lien or liens securing the payment of money, which are not Permitted Encumbrances (and excluding any inchoate liens for real estate taxes and municipal assessments not yet due and payable) should be filed against the title to the Property, Seller shall be required to elect one of the following: (i) use the net proceeds at Closing to discharge any such involuntary lien or liens or (ii) bond off such lien(s) in accordance with applicable laws so that the lien(s) no longer encumbers the Property, or (iii) escrow with the Escrow Agent one hundred ten percent (110%) of the principal amount of such lien(s) under an escrow arrangement reasonably satisfactory to Seller, Buyer and the Escrow Agent and which results in the Escrow Agent issuing the owner’s title policy to Buyer without an exception for the lien(s).

 

B. As a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligations, Escrow Agent shall issue no later than Closing, at Buyer’s expense, a policy of title insurance at standard rates, in the amount of the Purchase Price, or such lesser amount as Buyer may desire, insuring fee simple title to the Property in Buyer and insuring the appurtenant rights to the Private Access Road Easement and the Fidelity Roadways, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances.

 

C. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Seller to remove any title exception other than those exceptions specifically referenced in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Seller’s Liens and intervening encumbrances that arise after the date of the Preliminary Title Report for which Seller is obligated to remove), or to bring any action or proceeding to remove any defect in or objection to title or to fulfill any condition, nor shall Buyer have any right of action against Seller therefor, at law or in equity, for damages or specific performance, and no attempt by Seller to cure an objection to title shall be construed as an admission that such objection is one which would give Buyer the right to cancel this Agreement.

 

D. The acceptance of the Deed by Buyer shall be deemed to be full performance and discharge of every agreement and obligation on Seller’s part to be performed under this Agreement, except for those obligations which expressly survive the delivery of the Deed.

7. DUE DILIGENCE STUDY:

 

A.

Buyer shall have the right to conduct, at Buyer’s expense, a Due Diligence Study of the Property as of the Effective Date and for a sixty (60) day period thereafter (the “Due Diligence Period”). During the Due Diligence Period, Buyer and its designated agents shall have the right to enter upon and inspect the Property in accordance with this Paragraph 7. Should Buyer determine that the Property is not satisfactory for any reason or for no reason, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent provided that Seller and Escrow Agent receive such written notice at any time before the end of the Due Diligence Period. If a timely written notice of termination is received by Seller and Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit, together with interest thereon, to Buyer, subject to the provisions of Section 3.B. hereof and neither

 

8


 

party shall have any further rights or obligations of any nature to the other hereunder, except those that expressly survive termination.

 

B. Buyer hereby indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from and defends Seller (with legal counsel selected by Seller) against any and all claims, losses, costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees), damages, causes of action, suits and liability of every kind for injury to or death of persons or damage to property arising out of or connected with the acts or omissions of Buyer, its agents, employees or contractors in conducting the Due Diligence Study, provided, however, the indemnity shall not extend to protect Seller from any liabilities arising from environmental conditions existing prior to the Effective Date, such as matters merely discovered by Buyer (e.g. latent environmental contamination), nor shall such indemnity extend to protect Seller from damage or injury arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller, its agents, employees, or contractors. In the event the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is not closed for any reason, then Buyer shall restore the Property to its original condition, to the extent changed by Buyer, its agents, employees or contractors, at Buyer’s sole cost.

 

C. Buyer shall secure from the proper governmental authorities any licenses or permits required by law for any activities connected with the Due Diligence Study. In the event that any governmental agency exercises authority or control over any aspect of the Due Diligence Study, Buyer shall comply with all regulations, directions and orders issued by such agency(ies). Buyer is solely responsible for securing said licenses/permits and complying with said regulations, directions and orders. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer in obtaining the same to the extent Seller’s cooperation is required by such governmental authorities. Buyer hereby indemnifies Seller against liability for any fees, penalties or fines incurred by Buyer or Seller that are attributable to Buyer’s failure to comply with this Paragraph 7.C, provided, however, that such indemnity shall not extend to protect Seller from liability for fees, penalties or fines arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller, its agents, employees or contractors.

 

D. Buyer shall at all times conduct the Due Diligence Study in a manner that is reasonably satisfactory to Seller. Buyer shall have reasonable access to the Property at all reasonable times during normal business hours, for the purpose of conducting and obtaining inspections and tests, including, without limitation, surveys and architectural, engineering, geotechnical, topographical and environmental inspections and tests, including soil borings, test wells, and other reasonable invasive environmental sampling and testing, and review of wetlands conditions and other land use restrictions, all as Buyer deems necessary or desirable in its reasonable discretion. Buyer shall provide Seller with advance notice of all significant activities it intends to perform in connection with the Due Diligence Study.

 

E.

Buyer, its agents and assigns, shall keep confidential and shall not copy, disclose, or reproduce, in whole or in part, any samples, reports, data, test results or information generated by its Due Diligence Study unless required to do so by law or authorized in writing to do so by Seller. The restrictions set forth in the foregoing sentence shall expire at Closing in the event the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is consummated. Prior to Closing, the restrictions herein shall not be construed to prohibit Buyer from providing copies of such information to its employees, agents, environmental consultants,

 

9


 

lender and attorneys who have a need to know such information and who are under written obligation of confidentiality. In the event Closing does not occur for any reason other than a Seller Default, upon Seller’s request, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a copy of any survey, phase I and phase II environmental assessment (including, without limitation, all samples, reports, data, test results and other information related thereto) which Buyer may have obtained with respect to the Property (collectively “Property Information”), provided if Buyer’s cost of obtaining the Property Information exceeds $15,000 (“Cap”), Seller shall pay for half of the Buyer’s costs in excess of the Cap for such Property Information upon receipt of copies of invoices from Buyer; provided, however, the Seller may revoke its request for the Property Information after receipt of the invoices. Seller shall indemnify Buyer from and against claims, damages, suits and liability of any kind arising out of Seller’s or any and all third parties’ (to whom Seller provides copies of such Property Information), use of or reliance upon the Property Information. This indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

F. Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall provide to Buyer copies of the Environmental Documents, if any. Seller shall also cause to be delivered to Buyer, or make available to Buyer at the Building during normal business hours, the following due diligence materials at a time mutually acceptable to the parties and within five (5) days after the Effective Date: (i) a full and complete list, together with copies, of service, supply, equipment rental, and all other service contracts related to the operation of the Property, if any (“Service Contracts”); (ii) a copy of any survey relating to the Property in Seller’s possession; (iii) any outstanding licenses or permits relating to the Property (including a copy of those permits and approvals obtained or required to be obtained from January 1, 2004 to present); (iv) plans in Seller’s possession for all buildings located on the Property; (v) any building conditions survey relating to the Property; (vi) a copy of the Seller’s owner’s title insurance policy; (vii) waste manifests; (viii) equipment files; and (ix) such other Property reports and materials other than economic analyses in Seller’s possession or control related to the Property and reasonably requested by the Buyer. Prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, and provided the same are terminable by their terms, Buyer shall notify Seller as to which of the Service Contracts Buyer desires to assume at Closing, whereupon Seller shall terminate all other Service Contracts at or prior to the Closing at Seller’s sole cost.

 

G. Buyer shall pay for all Buyer’s costs associated with the Due Diligence Study.

2.2 Interest.

(A) Interest Rate. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(C) hereof, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate. However, (a) upon and during the continuance of any Event of Default by Borrower in the payment of any sum of principal, interest or other Indebtedness of Borrower owing Lender when due, (b) during the existence of any other Event of Default, or (c) after the Maturity Date or earlier upon acceleration of the Loan, the principal amount of the Loan shall bear interest (“Default Interest”) at the Default Rate. With respect to any scheduled payments of principal and interest (excluding the payment due on the Maturity Date), Borrower will be entitled to a grace period of five (5) days from such date before Default Interest is imposed by reason of such late payment; provided, however, such grace period will not be available more than once in any twelve (12) Loan Month period and if Borrower fails to make the required payment within said five (5) day period, Default Interest will be calculated from the original due date. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Default Interest shall commence, without notice, immediately upon and from the occurrence of (a), (b) or (c) above, as the case may be, and shall continue until Events of all Defaults are cured and all sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents are paid in full; provided that in the event of any monetary Event of Default, Default Interest shall be calculated from the date the applicable Events of Default actually occurred. Default Interest shall be payable upon demand, and, to the extent unpaid, shall be compounded monthly at the Default Rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any Obligation due and owing to Lender is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on such Obligations due and owing to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by law, remain at the Maximum Rate until Lender shall have received or accrued the amount of interest which Lender would have received or accrued during such period on Obligations due and owing to Lender had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.

(D) Late Charges. If any scheduled payment of principal and/or interest or other amount owing pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (excluding the payment due on the Maturity Date) is not paid when due, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to all sums otherwise due and payable, a late charge (“Late Charge”) in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the unpaid amount. With respect to regular monthly payments of principal and/or interest, Borrower will be entitled to a grace period of five (5) days from the date due before a late charge is imposed by reason of such late payment; provided, however, such grace period will not be available more than once in any consecutive twelve (12) month period.

Any prepayments on the principal balance of the Loan evidenced by the Note whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be accompanied by payment of interest accrued to the date of prepayment, together with the applicable Prepayment Premium. Any prepayments made pursuant to the foregoing shall be made on a Payment Date, provided, however, Borrower may elect to make any such prepayments on a Business Day which is not a Payment Date if, in addition to all interest which has accrued to and including the date of prepayment and the Prepayment Premium, Borrower also pays all interest which would accrue on the Loan to, but not including, the Payment Date following the date of prepayment. Amounts prepaid shall not be re-borrowed.

(ii) If, following an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Loan is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender or recovery shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against

 

-27-


prepayment set forth in Section 2.4(C)(i) and Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to the other Obligations, the Prepayment Premium. If the Maturity Date is accelerated, due to an Event of Default or otherwise, or if any prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan hereunder occurs, whether in connection with Lender’s acceleration of the Loan or otherwise, or if the Mortgage is satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of sale or judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means, then the Prepayment Premium shall become immediately due and owing and Borrower shall immediately pay the Prepayment Premium to Lender. Nothing contained in this Section 2.4(C)(iii) shall create any right of prepayment.

2.5 Lender’s Records; Mutilated, Destroyed or Lost Notes. The balance on Lender’s books and records shall be presumptive evidence (absent manifest error) of the amounts due and owing to Lender by Borrower; provided that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect Borrower’s obligation to pay the Obligations. In case any Note shall become mutilated or defaced, or be destroyed, lost or stolen, Borrower shall, upon request from Lender, execute and deliver a new Note of like principal amount in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the destroyed, lost or stolen Note. In the case of a mutilated or defaced Note, the mutilated or defaced Note shall be surrendered to Borrower upon delivery to Lender of the new Note. In the case of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note, Lender shall furnish to Borrower, upon delivery to Lender of the new Note (i) certification and affidavit of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by Borrower to hold Borrower harmless.

2.6 Taxes. Any and all payments or reimbursements made under the Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; excluding, however, the following: taxes imposed on the income of Lender by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof; taxes that are not directly attributable to the Loan; and any “doing business” taxes, however denominated, charged by any state or other jurisdiction (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding such taxes imposed on income, taxes not directly attributable to the Loan and any “doing business” taxes, herein “Tax Liabilities”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any such amounts from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, then the sum payable hereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions, Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing Date, (1) any changes in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, (2) any new law, regulation, treaty or directive enacted or any interpretation or application thereof, or (3) compliance by Lender with any new request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority, agency or instrumentality does or shall subject Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for income taxes, or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of income taxes, imposed generally by federal, state or local taxing authorities with respect to interest or commitment or other fees payable hereunder or changes in the rate of interest or tax on the overall income of Lender, taxes that are not directly attributable to the Loan and any

 

-28-


“doing business” taxes, however denominated, charged by any state or other jurisdiction) and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making or continuing its Loan hereunder, as the case may be, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, within thirty (30) days after its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender, on an after-tax basis, for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable, as determined by Lender with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.6, it shall promptly notify Borrower of the event by reason of which Lender has become so entitled.

2.7 Application of Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the last sentence of this Section 2.7, all payments made hereunder shall be applied first, to the payment of any Late Charges and other sums (other than principal and interest) due from Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents, second, to any interest then due at the Default Rate, third to interest then due at the Base Rate, and last to the principal amount. Following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all sums collected by Lender shall be applied in such order of priority to such items set forth below as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion: (i) to the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and costs of appeal, incurred in the collection of any or all of the Loan due or the realization of any collateral securing any or all of the Loan; and (ii) to any or all unpaid amounts owing pursuant to the Loan Documents in any order of application as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

2.8 Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay the Commitment Fee to Lender on the Closing Date.

2.9 Security Agreement. To secure the payment, performance and discharge of the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants, assigns, transfers, conveys and sets over unto Lender, and hereby grants to Lender a continuing first priority, perfected security interest in all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under any and all of the following, whether now and/or existing and/or now owned and/or hereafter acquired and/or arising:

 

  (1) the Accounts;

 

  (2) the Contracts;

 

  (3) the Reserve Accounts and other Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral;

 

  (4) the Equipment, Fixtures and Personalty;

 

  (5) the General Intangibles;

 

  (6) the Leases;

 

  (7) the Inventory;

 

  (8) the Management Agreement(s);

 

  (9) the Rents and other Gross Revenues;

 

  (10) the Proceeds; and

 

  (11) together with all accessions to, substitutions for, and replacements of, any of the foregoing and any and all products and cash and non-cash proceeds of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “UCC Collateral”).

With respect to all UCC Collateral constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, the Accounts, this Agreement shall constitute a “security agreement” within

 

-29-


the meaning of, and shall create a security interest under, the UCC. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall be permitted to file one or more financing statements naming Borrower as debtor and Lender as secured party identifying “the Accounts, the Contracts, the Reserve Accounts and other Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral, the Equipment, Fixtures and Personalty, the General Intangibles, the Leases, the Inventory, the Management Agreements, the Rents and other Gross Revenues and the Proceeds” of Borrower in the collateral description thereon. As to the UCC Collateral, the grant, transfer, and assignment provisions of this Section 2.9 shall control over the grant provision of Section 2.1 of the Mortgage. Borrower represents and warrants that, except for any financing statement filed by Lender, no presently effective financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof has been filed with any filing officer, and no other security interest has attached to or has been perfected in the Collateral or any part thereof. Borrower shall from time to time within twenty (20) days after request by Lender, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or authorize the filing of any financing statement, renewal, affidavit, certificate, continuation statement or other document as Lender may reasonably request in order to evidence, perfect, preserve, continue, extend or maintain this security agreement and the security interest created hereby as a first priority Lien on the UCC Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances.

2.10 Certain Secured Party Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall have all the remedies of a secured party under the UCC and all other rights and remedies now or hereafter provided or permitted by law, including, without limitation, the right to take immediate and exclusive possession of the UCC Collateral, or any part thereof, and for that purpose Lender may, as far as Borrower can give authority therefor, with or without judicial process, enter (if this can be done without breach of the peace) upon any premises on which any of the Collateral or any part thereof may be situated. Without limitation of the foregoing, Lender shall be entitled to hold, maintain, preserve and prepare all of the Collateral for sale and to dispose of said Collateral, if Lender so chooses, from the Mortgaged Property provided that Lender may require Borrower to assemble such UCC Collateral and make it available to Lender for disposition at a place to be designated by Lender from which the UCC Collateral would be sold or disposed of, and provided further that, for a reasonable period of time prior to the disposition of such UCC Collateral, Lender shall have the right to use same in the operation of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower will execute and deliver to Lender any and all forms, documents, certificates and registrations as may be necessary or appropriate to enable Lender to sell and deliver good and clear title to the UCC Collateral to the buyer at the sale as herein provided. Unless the UCC Collateral is of the type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender will give Borrower at least ten (10) days’ written notice of the time and place of any public sale of such UCC Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given to Borrower in writing at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition. Lender may buy at any public sale and, if the UCC Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, it may buy at private sale. Unless Lender shall otherwise elect, any sale of the UCC Collateral shall be solely as a unit and not in separate lots or parcels, it being expressly agreed, however, that Lender shall have the absolute right to dispose of such UCC Collateral in separate lots or parcels. Lender shall further have the absolute right to elect to sell the UCC Collateral as a unit with, and not separately from, the Land and Improvements constituting a portion of the Mortgaged Property. The net proceeds realized upon any

 

-30-


disposition of the UCC Collateral, after deduction for the expenses of retaining, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like and the attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Lender shall be applied towards satisfaction of such of the Obligations secured hereby, and in such order of application, as Lender may elect. If all of the Obligations are satisfied, Lender will account to Borrower for any surplus realized on such disposition.

2.11 Potential Loan Increase. Provided no Event of Default then exists, if Borrower or Guarantor obtains Drug Approval on or before December 31, 2007, Borrower may provide Lender with Borrower’s written request to increase the amount of the Loan by $9,000,000 upon the terms and conditions contained in this Section 2.11. Within forty-five (45) days of Landlord’s receipt of such written request, Borrower and Lender shall cooperate with each other to enter into one or more documents as deemed necessary or desirable by Borrower and Lender to amend the existing Loan Documents to provide for the following:

(A) increase the Loan by adding a new tranch B, with the existing Loan becoming tranch A, which new tranch B would be in the amount of $9,000,000 (and is herein called the “Tranch B Loan”);

(B) the Tranch B Loan would have a separate base rate of interest (non-default) equal to the yield to maturity of 10-year U.S. Treasury securities plus a spread equal to 4.0%, calculated at the time of disbursement of the Tranch B Loan;

(C) the Tranch B Loan would be a part of the definition of “Loan” in the Loan Documents and secured by all collateral and security securing the Loan under the Loan Documents on the Closing; and

(D) Borrower providing updated or new opinions of counsel, officer’s certifications, title insurance policies and other closing deliveries as customary to obtain with an amendment increasing the amount of a first priority mortgage loan, all upon the closing of the Tranch B Loan; all of which shall be acceptable to Borrower and Lender.

The Development Advances shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article 3. From time to time, to the extent there are insufficient funds in the Development Fund to satisfy a Development Advance, Lender may transfer (without any direction or further authorization from Borrower) funds from the Equity Account into the Development Fund, which amounts shall then be disbursed in accordance with Section 3.3 of this Agreement.

(B) No Advances for Interest. Lender may, with or without Borrower’s having made a Request for Advance, approve Development Advances for purposes of paying Lender all sums including interest and principal which are then due and payable from Borrower to Lender under this Agreement and any other Loan Document.

(C) Development Budget. Borrower represents and warrants that the Development Budget is accurate and complete and includes all Hard Costs and Soft Costs of the Initial Construction Work, including all costs and expenses necessary to satisfy, fulfill, comply with and perform all terms, conditions, requirements and obligations under and pursuant to Legal Requirements, all Initial Construction Contracts, all Initial Architect’s Agreements and all Material Contracts, other than those, if any, which a Governmental Authority has agreed, in writing, to perform, together with a Hard Cost Contingency and Soft Cost Contingency as approved by Lender.

(D) Loan Balancing; Right to Require Deposits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Loan shall at all times be “in balance.” The Loan shall be deemed to be “in balance” only at such time and from time to time, as Lender may reasonably determine that either: (a) the amount left in the Development Fund (plus, giving effect to the amounts in the Equity Account, all escrow reserves, retainage and that portion of the Hard Cost Contingency and Soft Cost Contingency available for Borrower’s then current use as permitted by this Agreement) equals or exceeds the amount necessary to pay for (i) all Hard Costs for work done and not theretofore paid for or to be done in connection with the Completion of Initial Construction Work in accordance with the Project Plans and Specifications based on “Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs” (as defined below), and (ii) all Soft Costs and other costs payable by Borrowers under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Initial Construction Work and equipping of the Mortgaged Property until Completion of the Initial Construction Work also based on Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs, in each case based on the Development Budget (as modified to reflect cost savings and/or reallocations to the extent permitted hereunder), or (b) the amount left in the Development Fund (including, the

 

-35-


amounts in the Equity Account) does not equal or exceed the foregoing described respective amount or amounts, but Borrower has deposited into the Development Fund cash sufficient to bring the Loan “in balance”. In the event that the Loan is not “in balance” prior to the full disbursement of the funds held in the Development Fund, all additional funds deposited by Borrower into the Development will be disbursed by Lender for Hard Costs and Soft Costs in accordance with the Development Budget (as it may be modified by Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs) prior to any further Development Advance. Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the right to make from time to time in Lender’s discretion an estimate of all Hard Costs and Soft Costs which estimate is herein sometimes called “Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs.” In the first instance, Lender’s Estimate of Development Cost shall be made upon the basis of the Initial Construction Contracts, executed Subcontracts and purchase orders, or, in those instances where Subcontracts or purchase orders have not yet been let, upon the basis of either written bids with responsible contractors, tradesmen and material suppliers obtained by Borrower and approved by Lender, or Lender’s estimate of such costs where written bids have not been obtained, and shall take into account all Soft Costs and other costs and expenses to be paid by Borrower hereunder through the Completion of the Initial Construction Work, with such allowances for reserves and contingencies as Lender shall deem appropriate in its discretion. Thereafter, Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs will take into account, in addition to the Initial Construction Contract, Subcontracts and purchase orders, and other considerations which Lender, in its sole judgment, deems relevant or likely to have an impact upon all Hard Costs and Soft Costs. Borrower agrees that if for any reason the amount of funds in the Development Fund shall at any time be or become insufficient for the purposes described herein and subject to the provisions of Section 3.6, regardless of how such condition may have been brought about, upon ten (10) Business Days’ written notice to Borrower during which time Borrower shall have the right to bring the Loan into balance, and upon Borrower’s failure to bring the Loan into balance, it shall be an Event of Default hereunder and, in addition to any other rights or remedies of Lender hereunder or at law or in equity, Lender shall not be obligated to disburse the Loan during the period of such insufficiency. Borrower agrees that the determination of Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs and the determination of whether the Loan is “in balance” shall be done on a line item basis and not on a gross or aggregate funds available basis and be subject to the provisions of Section 3.6, it being understood that all limitations on reallocation of line items as set forth herein shall be observed and taken into account when making Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs and determining whether the Loan is “in balance.”

(E) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement which is or may appear to be to the contrary, to the extent Lender does not receive all deliveries and approvals it is entitled to receive (with and without request) for all of the Initial Construction Work and all Project Improvements contemplated by the Development Budget as a condition to Lender’s disbursement of funds from the Development Account pursuant to Sections 3.1(u), (w), (x), (y), (z), (AA) and (BB) above (collectively the “Initial Construction Conditions”) and Lender disburses funds from the Development Account, then Lender shall have no further obligation to make one or more subsequent disbursements of funds from the Development Account for any portion of the Initial Construction Work (or other development costs related thereto) for which such Initial Construction Conditions have not been satisfied. To the extent Lender has received and approved the Initial Construction Conditions applicable to a portion of the Initial Construction Work (or other development costs related thereto) and all other conditions and

 

-36-


requirements applicable thereto are satisfied, Lender shall make disbursements of funds from the Development Account for such purposes.

3.3 Advances from Development Fund. Lender shall, if no Event of Default exists, make each Development Advance within ten (10) Business Days following the satisfaction, in the sole discretion of Lender, of each of the following conditions:

(A) Lender shall have no obligation to make any Development Advance for Hard Costs after the Required Completion Date.

(B) No Development Advance except the final Development Advance shall be made in an amount of less than $100,000.

(C) At all times prior to and including the date all Advances made for Completion of Construction have been fully funded, Borrower shall submit a Request for Advance no more frequently than once per month with no more than 45 days between each request. Lender shall make no more than one Development Advance per month.

(D) Borrower shall have submitted to Lender an executed completed Request for Advance.

(E) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender all Required Lien Waivers deemed necessary by Lender and the Title Company for services and materials provided in connection with the Initial Construction Work through the date of the applicable Development Advance; provided, however, that for all non-final payments Lender shall only require then current Required Lien Waivers from all parties Borrower or Guarantor have directly contracted with (“Direct Contractors”) and only require those Required Lien Waivers from any Person who is a sub-consultant, sub-contractor, or otherwise directly or indirectly contracting with a Direct Contractor applicable to the immediately prior Request for Advance.

(F) With respect to the Development Advances, the Initial Borrower’s Architect involved with such advance shall have certified to Lender in form satisfactory to Lender that the requested Development Advance is for the payment of construction costs incurred in connection with Initial Construction Work which has been completed in accordance with the Project Plans and Specifications as set forth in the Request for Advance.

(G) Borrower shall provide Lender with true and correct copies of all invoices and bills for Hard Costs and Soft Costs incurred in connection with the then completed Initial Construction Work, and there shall be no material deviation from the Initial Construction Budget (except with Lender’s prior written approval) in connection with the Initial Construction Work which has been completed to date. Specifically, no advance (or advances, as appropriate) for a specific line item in the Initial Construction Budget, including any retainage for said line item, will exceed the amount of said line item in the Initial Construction Budget subject to changes based upon Permitted Change Orders. For purposes of this Section 3.3 and except as set forth in subsection 3.3(v) below for Stored Materials, costs shall be deemed to have been “incurred” by a Borrower at the following times: (i) Hard Costs - when the labor has been performed or the materials have been supplied and incorporated into the Property, payment therefore has been requested by the contractor or supplier thereof, and such contractor or supplier is entitled thereto;

 

-37-


and (ii) Soft Costs – when such costs are due and payable (or have been paid by Borrower) and the services relating thereto have been rendered or the value thereof has been received by Borrower.

(H) All Hard Costs and Soft Costs are to be certified by Borrower in accordance with the Request for Advance and verified by Lender or to the extent Lender has retained a separate Lender’s Consultant, Lender’s Consultant as having been incurred. Verification of the monthly progress of the Initial Construction Work, the Hard Costs and the Soft Costs which have been incurred by Borrower, and the estimated total Hard Costs and Soft Costs of Completion of Initial Construction Work may be made by Lender consistent with the Development Budget.

(I) The funds in the Development Fund (excluding the retainage provided for in the next paragraph) shall be sufficient, in Lender’s sole discretion, to pay all remaining Hard Costs and Soft Costs in connection with the Completion of Initial Construction Work, including the payment of all sums owed to Lender prior to the Completion of Initial Construction Work or Borrower shall have deposited with Lender pursuant to Section 3.2(D) such additional funds as Lender deems necessary, together with said amounts then held in the Development Fund, to pay all remaining Hard Costs and Soft Costs in connection with the Completion of Initial Construction Work.

(J) Except as provided below, Borrower shall not request in a progress payment, but rather withhold payment from the Initial Contractors as evidenced in each progress payment, the amount of 10% of the ‘Contract Sum’ eligible for payment (the “Retainage”) to each Initial Contractor until such Contractor’s portion of the Initial Construction Work is Completed. To the extent permitted by an Initial Construction Contract, Borrower may request in writing that Lender approve and Lender agrees to approve (subject to the remaining requirements for such Advance) any of the following actions following completion of the applicable requirements set forth below.

Each such update shall be accompanied by a written narrative explanation setting forth, in reasonable detail, the deviations, if any, set forth in such update to the such Initial Construction Draw Schedule, as previously updated, and the reason(s) for such deviations. Each such update shall be accompanied by a certificate from the Borrower to the effect that all deviations as reflected in such updated Initial Construction Draw Schedule are permitted under this Agreement or have been expressly consented to by Lender.

3.6 Contingency; Cost Reallocation.

(A) The Development Budget shall include a “contingency” amount of not less than $1,302,615.00 for Hard Costs (including contingency for the Initial Construction Contract) (“Hard Cost Contingency”), and not less than $1,200,000.00 for Soft Costs (“Soft Cost Contingency”) at Closing. From time to time, upon the request of Borrower and subject to the approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, the Hard Cost Contingency and Soft Cost Contingency may each be used on a pro rata basis according to the percentage of total Hard Costs expended (excluding land costs) to pay for other Hard Costs or Soft Costs, as applicable; and, (b) the Soft Cost Contingency may be used on a pro rata basis according to the percentage of total Hard Costs expended (excluding hard costs) to be reallocated to the Hard Cost Contingency. Upon Completion of all Initial Construction Work, any funds remaining in the Hard Cost Contingency line item which are attributable, in Lender’s sole discretion, to verified Hard Costs savings may be, at Borrower’s option, reallocated from the Hard Cost Contingency to the Soft Cost Contingency.

(B) Any savings in line item costs contained on the summary page of the Development Budget, as verified and determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, resulting from any change in the Project Plans and Specifications approved by Lender or realized upon completion of a Development Budget line item and thereby resulting in savings (“Completion Savings”) shall be reallocated to the Hard Cost Contingency or to other such line item to “balance” the line item (assuming such increase in the budgeted line item is not subject to a Change Order to be funded by the Hard Costs Contingency) with Lender approval, not to be unreasonably withheld.

(C) Any savings in any line item costs for Hard Costs contained on the summary page of the Development Budget and up to an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5.0% of said line item or (ii) $500,000, as verified and determined by Lender, resulting from any change in the Plans and Specifications or realized upon Completion of a single line item and thereby resulting in savings may be reallocated to another Hard Cost line item to “balance” the line item (assuming such increase in the budgeted line item is not subject to a Change Order to be funded by the Hard Cost Contingency). Additionally, any savings in line item costs for Soft Costs contained on the summary page of the Development Budget and up to an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5.0% of said line tem or (ii) $200,000, as verified and determined by Lender, resulting from any change in the Plans and Specifications or realized upon Completion of a single line item and thereby resulting in savings may be reallocated to another Soft Cost line item to “balance” the line item (assuming such increase in the budgeted line item is not subject to a Change Order to be funded by the Soft Costs contingency); provided, however, (i) there shall

 

-45-


be no reallocation of the line items for Loan interest or sales commissions and (ii) any reallocation of line items in excess of the greater of (i) 5.0% of said line item and (ii) $500,000 in the case of Hard Costs or $200,000 in the case of Soft Costs, shall require prior approval of Lender. Additional direct or indirect line item cost savings that have been allocated to their respective contingency line items may be available and reallocated by Borrower to another cost line item and such amounts will not be subject to the pro rata allocation set forth in the preceding sentence.

3.7 Other Remedies of Lender. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any other remedies available to Lender by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by law, Lender may at its sole discretion: (a) cause Completion of Initial Construction Work in accordance with the Project Plans and Specifications (with such changes as Lender shall deem appropriate), all at the risk, cost and expense of Borrower; (b) discontinue at any time the Construction Work; (c) engage builders, contractors, engineers, architects and others for the purpose of furnishing labor, material and equipment in connection with the Initial Construction Work, which personnel may, but need not, be the same as those engaged by Borrower; (d) pay, compromise or settle any and all bills or claims incurred in connection with the Initial Construction Work; (e) exercise any or any or all of its rights under the applicable Loan Documents; (f) take or refrain from taking such action with respect to the Initial Construction Work as Lender may from time to time determine; and (g) through an advance of Loan proceeds, make payments due for the cost of Initial Construction Work directly to any Initial Contractor, any Subcontractor, including any material supplier or any vendor of Fixtures and Personality, if any, owned by Borrower. All such action shall be at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, such sums being secured by the Mortgage.

3.8 Protection Against Liens. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably required to prevent the assertion of claims of lien against the Mortgaged Property. In the event that any claim of lien is asserted against the Mortgaged Property by any person furnishing labor or materials to the Initial Construction Work, Borrower shall immediately give notice of the same to Lender and shall, promptly and in any event within ten (10) days after Lender’s demand, (a) pay and discharge the same, (b) effect the release thereof by delivering to Lender a surety bond complying with the requirement of applicable Legal Requirements for such release, (c) with respect to mechanic’s liens, deliver to Lender an endorsement to the Title Policy insuring over such lien in form customarily used and approved by Lender, or (d) take such other action as Lender may approve in writing to release Lender from any obligation or liability with respect to such stop notice or claim.

3.9 Nonliability of Lender. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:

(A) The relationship between Borrower and Lender is and shall remain solely that of borrower and lender, and Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility to review, inspect, supervise, approve or inform Borrower of any matter in connection with any of the Initial Construction Work, including matters relating to: (i) the Project Plans and Specifications, (ii) architects, contractors, subcontractors and materialmen, or the workmanship of or materials used by any of them, or (iii) the progress of any of the Initial Construction Work and its conformity with the Project Plans and Specifications; and Borrower shall rely entirely on its own judgment with respect to such matters and acknowledges that any review, inspection,

 

-46-


supervision, approval or information supplied to Borrower by Lender in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of Lender and that neither Borrower nor any third party is entitled to rely on it;

(B) Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document: (i) Lender is not a partner, joint venturer, alter-ego, manager, controlling person or other business associate or participant of any kind of Borrower and Lender does not intend to ever assume any such status; and (ii) Lender shall not be deemed responsible for or a participant in any acts, omissions or decisions of Borrower;

(C) Lender shall not be directly or indirectly liable or responsible for any loss or injury of any kind to any person or property resulting from any construction on, or occupancy or use of, the Mortgaged Property (except to the extent proximately caused by Lender’s or Lender’s agent’s, servant’s, employee’s or contractor’s negligence or willful misconduct), whether arising from: (i) any defect in any building, grading, landscaping or other onsite or offsite improvement; (ii) any act or omission of Borrower or any of Borrower’s agents, employees, independent contractors, licensees or invitees; or (iii) any accident on the Property or any fire or other casualty or hazard thereon; and

By accepting or approving anything required to be performed or given to Lender under the Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency or legal effect of the same, and no such acceptance or approval shall constitute a warranty or representation by Lender to anyone.

SECTION 4

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that, after giving effect to the Loan, as of the Closing Date:

4.1 Organization, Powers, Qualification and Organization Chart. Borrower is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of formation. Borrower has all requisite power and authority to own and operate its properties, to carry on its business as now conducted and proposed to be conducted, and to enter into each Loan Document to which it is a party and to perform the terms thereof. Guarantor is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of formation and has all requisite power and authority to own and operate its properties, to carry on its business as now conducted, and to enter into each Loan Document to which it is a party and to perform the terms thereof. Borrower’s U.S. taxpayer identification number is set forth on Schedule 4.1(A)-1. Borrower and Guarantor are each duly qualified and in good standing wherever necessary to carry on its present business and operations. Guarantor owns one hundred percent (100%) of the ownership interests in Borrower. The organization chart attached hereto as Schedule 4.1(A)-2 correctly identifies each Subsidiary, if any, of Borrower and each Person directly owning (and/or indirectly owning five percent (5%) or more of) the ownership interests in Borrower; provided that such organizational chart shall not identify any Person owning, directly or in directly, any ownership interests of Guarantor. The principal place of business and chief executive office of Borrower is set forth on Schedule 4.1(A)-3. Borrower has filed in a

 

-47-


timely manner all reports, documents and other materials required to be filed by it with any Governmental Authorities and the information contained in each of such filings is true, correct and complete in all respects). Borrower has retained all records and documents required to be retained by it pursuant to any law, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, policy, guideline or other requirement of any Governmental Authority. Borrower has no Subsidiaries and has not made an Investment in any Person.

4.2 Authorization of Borrowing; No Conflicts; Governmental Consents; Binding Obligations and License and Security Interests of Loan Documents. Borrower has the power and authority to incur the Obligations evidenced by the Note and other Loan Documents to which it is a party, to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its Obligations, to own the Mortgaged Property and to continue its businesses and affairs as presently conducted. Guarantor has the power and authority to execute and deliver the Guaranty, the Environmental Indemnification Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. The incurring of the Obligations and the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower and Guarantor of each of the Loan Documents to which either is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary partnership, corporate or limited liability company action, as the case may be. The incurring of the Obligations and the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower and Guarantor of the Loan Documents to which either is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not: (1) violate any provision of law applicable to Borrower, Guarantor or the Mortgaged Property, the respective other Organizational Documents of, or applicable to, Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or other agency of government binding on Borrower or Guarantor or their respective properties including the Mortgaged Property; (2) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any Material Contracts or any other agreement or document to which such Person is a party or by which such Person or its property may be bound; (3) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon the Mortgaged Property or assets of Borrower or Guarantor (other than the Liens of Lender); or (4) require any approval or consent of any Person under any Material Contracts or any other agreement or document to which such Person is a party or by which such Person or its property may be bound (except to the extent such approvals or consents have been unconditionally obtained on or before the Closing Date). The incurring of the Obligations, the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower and Guarantor of the Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any federal, state or other Governmental Authority or regulatory body (except to the extent unconditionally obtained on or before the Closing Date). The Loan Documents, when executed and delivered by Borrower and Guarantor, as applicable, will be the legally valid and binding obligations of Borrower and Guarantor, as applicable, enforceable against Borrower and Guarantor, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to the application of general equitable principles in connection with the enforcement thereof. The Mortgage, together with the Financing Statements to be filed in connection therewith, create a valid, enforceable and perfected first priority lien and security interest in the Mortgaged Property subject to no other interests, Liens or encumbrances, other than the Permitted Encumbrances. Article 6 of this Agreement creates a valid, enforceable and perfected first priority security interest in the Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral.

 

-48-


Borrower is a “registered organization” (as defined in the UCC) organized under the laws of the State of Delaware.

4.3 Financial Statements. All financial statements concerning Borrower and Guarantor which have been or will hereafter be furnished by Borrower and Guarantor to Lender pursuant to this Agreement have been or will be prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied (except as disclosed therein, to the extent Lender approves such disclosure) and do or will, in all material respects, present fairly the financial condition of the Persons covered thereby as at the dates thereof and the results of their operations for the periods then ended.

4.4 Indebtedness. As of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, Borrower does not have any Indebtedness except for Permitted Indebtedness. All Expenses owing or accrued as of the Closing Date, have been paid in full or have been reserved for by deposit into the Reserves. No claim of any creditor of Borrower exists which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.5 No Material Adverse Change. Since March 31, 2006, no event or change has occurred that has caused or evidences, either individually or together with such other events or changes, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.6 Title to Property; Liens; Zoning; Contracts; Condition of the Mortgaged Property.

(A) Borrower has good and marketable fee simple title to the Land, the Improvements and the other components of the Mortgaged Property, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower owns all real and personal property necessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. Except for the Permitted Encumbrances, the Mortgaged Property is free and clear of Liens and other encumbrances. Except as otherwise identified on Schedule 4.6(A), there are no outstanding Claims and all work, services or materials the provision of which might ripen into a Claim have been fully paid for. There are no assessments for improvements or other similar outstanding charges or Impositions affecting the Mortgaged Property. No Improvements lie outside the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Land or encroach onto any easements to any extent (unless affirmatively insured by the Title Policy), and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Land to any extent which would materially impair the Mortgaged Property. The Title Policy premium has been fully paid. Except for customary gap undertakings, neither Borrower, nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, any other Person, has provided any title indemnities (or analogous documentation) or deposits of cash or other security to the title insurer to obtain the Title Policy. The Permitted Encumbrances do not and will not materially interfere with the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage, the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the marketability or value of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower will preserve its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property for so long as the Obligations remain outstanding and will warrant and defend same and the validity and priority of the Mortgage and the Liens arising pursuant to the Loan Documents from and against any and all claims whatsoever other than the Permitted Encumbrances.

(B) The Mortgaged Property is zoned for use as a biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility with related office and lab facilities, which zoning designation is unconditional, is in full

 

-49-


force and effect, and is beyond all applicable appeal periods. Borrower is not in violation of, and, the Mortgaged Property is in full compliance with all applicable zoning, subdivision, land use and other Legal Requirements. No legal proceedings are pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge threatened, with respect to the compliance of the Mortgaged Property with Legal Requirements. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Mortgaged Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any real estate other than the Mortgaged Property and validly created, existing appurtenant perpetual easements insured in the Title Policy or use of public rights of way. In the event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other Legal Requirements applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits.

proceeding which operates to prevent the collection of such amounts and the sale of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof so long as: (a) at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Imposition or Claims would otherwise have become delinquent, Borrower shall have given Lender notice of its intent to contest said Imposition, (b) at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Imposition would otherwise have become delinquent, Borrower shall have deposited with Lender (or with a court of competent jurisdiction or other appropriate Person approved by Lender) such additional amounts or other security as are necessary to keep on deposit at all times, an amount equal to at least one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) (or such higher amount as may be required by applicable law) of the total of (x) the balance of such Imposition then remaining unpaid, and (y) all interest, penalties, costs and charges accrued or accumulated thereon, (c) no risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of any interest in the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof arises, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, during the pendency of such contest, (d) such contest does not, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, have a Material Adverse Effect and (e) in the case of Claims, the liens, if any, securing the Claims in question have been defeased or bonded against in a manner satisfactory to Lender. Each Permitted Contest shall be prosecuted, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, with reasonable diligence, and Borrower shall promptly pay, or cause payment of, the amount of such Imposition or Claims as finally determined, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection with such Permitted Contest. Lender, in its sole discretion, may apply any amount or other security deposited with Lender under this subsection or otherwise to the payment of any unpaid Imposition or Claims to prevent the sale, loss or forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof. Any surplus retained by Lender after payment of the Imposition or Claims for which a deposit was made shall be repaid to Borrower unless an Event of Default exists, in which case the surplus may be applied by Lender to the Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 5.3 to the contrary, Borrower shall promptly pay any Imposition or Claims which it might otherwise be entitled to contest if, in reasonable determination of Lender, the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof is in jeopardy or in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed. If Borrower refuses to pay any such Imposition or Claims, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment and Borrower shall reimburse Lender within five (5) Business Days of written notice by Lender for all such advances which advances will bear interest at the Default Rate.

(C) Subject to Section 2.6, Borrower shall pay any and all taxes, charges, filing, registration and recording fees, excises and levies imposed upon Lender by reason of its interests in, or measured by amounts payable under, the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document (other than income, franchise and doing business taxes), and shall pay all stamp taxes and other taxes required to be paid on the Note or any of the other Loan Documents. If Borrower fails to make such payment within five (5) days after notice thereof from Lender, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) pay the amount due, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender within five (5) Business Days of written notice by Lender for all such advances which will bear interest at the Default Rate. If applicable law prohibits Borrower from paying such taxes, charges, filing, registration and recording fees, excises, levies, stamp taxes or other taxes, then Lender may declare Borrower’s Obligations to be immediately due and payable, upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice.

-61-


consult with Lender prior to commencing the construction of any Improvements and to comply with all reasonable special insurance requirements of Lender pertaining to any construction.

(B) No policies shall contain any exclusion for terrorism, terrorist activities or similar activities defined under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (“TRIA”) and will be endorsed to insure such risks.

(C) All insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to provide that: (i) Lender, its successors, and/or assigns, is named as mortgagee with respect to the all risk property; as a loss payee with respect to all rent loss coverage; as additional named insured on all liability coverage, with the understanding that any obligation imposed upon the insureds (including the liability to pay premiums) shall be the sole obligation of Borrower and not of any other insured; (ii) the interests of Lender shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of Borrower or any other Person, and such policies shall insure Lender regardless of any breach or violation by Borrower or any other Person of any warranties, declaration or conditions in such policies; (iii) the insurer under each such policy shall waive all rights of subrogation against Lender, any right to set-off and counterclaim and any other right to deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise; (iv) such insurance shall be primary and without right of contribution of any other insurance carried by or on behalf of Lender with respect to its interest in the Mortgaged Property; (v) if such insurance is canceled for any reason whatsoever, including nonpayment of premium or, if any substantial modification, change or reduction is made in the coverage which affects the interests of Lender, such cancellation, modification, change or reduction in coverage shall not be effective as to Lender until thirty (30) days after receipt by Lender of written notice sent by registered mail from such insurer; and (vi) any such insurance shall be endorsed to provide in as much as the policy is written to cover more than one insured, all terms, conditions, insuring agreements and endorsements with the exception of limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured.

(D) Borrower shall deliver to Lender a certificate of insurance with further evidence of such insurance acceptable to Lender. Renewal certificates should be provided no later than five (5) days prior to the expiration of each policy. Upon request of Lender, Borrower shall deliver a renewed policy or policies, or duplicate original or originals thereof, marked “premium paid,” or accompanied by such other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender with standard non-contributory mortgagee clause in favor of and acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall comply promptly with and conform to (i) all provisions of each such insurance policy and (ii) all requirements of the insurers applicable to Borrower as respects use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration or repair of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower shall not use or permit the use of the Mortgaged Property in any manner that would permit any insurer to cancel any insurance policy or void coverage required to be maintained by this Agreement. No insurance policy may provide for assessments to be made against Lender or Lender’s servicer, if any. The insurance coverage required under this Section 5.4 may be effected under a blanket policy or policies covering the Mortgaged Property and other properties and assets not constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property; provided that any such blanket policy shall specify the portion of the total coverage of such policy that is allocated to the Mortgaged Property, and any sublimits in such blanket policy applicable to the Mortgaged Property, which amounts shall

 

-62-


not be less than the amounts required pursuant to this Section 5.4 and which shall in any case comply in all other respects with all of the requirements of this Section 5.4. Borrower shall comply with all insurance requirements and shall not bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept any article upon the Mortgaged Property or cause or permit any condition to exist thereon which would be prohibited by any insurance requirement, or would invalidate insurance coverage required hereunder to be maintained by Borrower on or with respect to any part of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Section 5.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is expressly understood and agreed that any insurance which Borrower shall cause any tenant to provide that shall otherwise be in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4 shall satisfy Borrower’s obligations with respect thereto hereunder. Borrower shall cause each tenant to provide business interruption, products/completed operations and workers compensation coverage in amounts reasonably acceptable to Borrower to insure risks of each tenant’s business. Borrower will not take out separate insurance contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 5.4 unless such insurance complies with this Section 5.4. All insurance policies shall be in form, with endorsements, risk coverage, deductibles and amounts and maintained with companies approved by Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without limiting Lender’s ability to approve the aforementioned, an insurance company shall not be reasonably satisfactory unless such insurance company (a) has a rating of a least A with financial size of Class X or better as specified in Best’s Key Rating Guide, (b) is licensed or authorized to do business, as required under applicable law, in the State where the Mortgaged Property is located and (c) a claims-paying ability rating by S&P of not less than “A” and an equivalent rating by another Rating Agency. All insurance policies insuring against casualty, rent loss and other appropriate policies shall provide that no claims be paid thereunder without twenty (20) days’ advance written notice to Lender. Such notice may be given by Borrower. Lender shall not, by the fact of approving, disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining or failing to obtain any insurance, incur any liability for or with respect to the amount of insurance carried, the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of insurance companies, or payment or defense of lawsuits, and Borrower hereby expressly assumes Ml responsibility therefore and all liability, if any, with respect thereto. If Borrower fails to provide to Lender the policies of insurance required by this Section 5.4 or any other Loan Documents, Lender may (but shall have no obligation to) procure such insurance or single-interest insurance for such risks covering Lender’s interest and Borrower will pay all premiums thereon within five (5) Business Days of written notice by Lender, and until such payment is made by Borrower, the amount of all such premiums shall bear interest at the Default Rate and shall constitute additions to the Obligations.

5.5 Tax Reserve and Insurance Reserve. Borrower shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with Lender (or such agent of Lender as Lender may designate in writing to Borrower from time to time), monthly, on each Payment Date, 1/12th of the annual charges (as estimated by Lender) for all Impositions relating to the Mortgaged Property and all insurance premiums with respect to the insurance that relate specifically to the Mortgaged Property (including documentation reasonably acceptable to Lender demonstrating premium allocation for the premiums that relate specifically to the Mortgage Property) as required pursuant to Section 5.4(A)(i), (ii) and (iv). Borrower shall also deposit with Lender, simultaneously with such monthly deposits and/or on the Closing Date, a sum of money which, together with such monthly deposits, will be sufficient to make the payment of each such charge at least thirty (30) days prior to the date finally delinquent. Should such charges not be ascertainable at the time any deposit is required to be

 

-63-


made, the deposit shall be made on the basis of Lender’s reasonable estimate. When the charges are fixed for the then current year or period, Borrower shall deposit any deficiency within fifteen (15) days following Lender’s written demand. Should an Event of Default occur and be continuing, the funds so deposited may be applied in payment of the charges for which such funds shall have been deposited or to the payment of the Obligations or any other charges affecting the Mortgaged Property as Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, but no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided. Borrower shall provide Lender with bills and all other documents necessary for the payment of the foregoing charges at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which each payment thereof shall first become delinquent. So long as (i) no Event of Default exists, (ii) Borrower has provided Lender with the foregoing bills and other documents in a timely manner, and (iii) sufficient funds are held by Lender for the payment of the Impositions and insurance premiums relating to the Mortgaged Property, as applicable, Lender shall pay said items or allow such funds to be used to pay said items or to reimburse Borrower for such items upon Lender’s receipt of reasonable evidence documenting Borrower’s payment of such items. All refunds of Impositions and insurance premiums shall be deposited into the applicable of the Tax Reserve Account or the Insurance Reserve Account.

5.6 Maintenance of Mortgaged Property. Borrower will maintain or cause the Mortgaged Property to be maintained in compliance with all Legal Requirements and in good repair, working order and condition and will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements thereof. Without regard as to whether Proceeds are made available to Borrower for such purposes, Borrower will promptly restore and repair all loss or damage occasioned by (i) any casualty which has occurred to at least the condition existing prior to any such casualty or (ii) any condemnation to an economically and structurally integrated unit. Borrower will prevent any act or thing which might materially impair the value or usefulness of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower will not commit or permit any waste of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.

5.7 Inspection; Lender Meeting. Borrower shall, upon request from Lender and at reasonable times, permit (and cause to be permitted) Lender’s designated representatives to (a) visit, examine, audit, and inspect the Mortgaged Property, (b) examine, audit, inspect, copy, duplicate and abstract Borrower’s financial, accounting and other books and records, and (c) discuss Borrower’s and the Mortgaged Property’s affairs, finances and business with Borrower’s officers, representatives, independent public accountants and agents. Lender acknowledges and agrees that any inspection or entry to the Mortgaged Property by Lender or Lender’s designated representatives shall be conducted (i) during Borrower’s normal business hours, (ii) in accordance with Borrower’s safety and security procedures then applicable to the Mortgaged Property in general and to the Secure Areas in particular that are, in each instance, in effect from time to time, (iii) at Borrower’s option, accompanied by an employee or representative of Borrower and/or Guarantor, (iv) in accordance with the confidentiality requirements of Section 11.12 and (v) in such a manner so as to minimize any disruption or interference with Borrower’s use or operation of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower shall cause its books and records to be maintained at Borrower’s principal offices located at c/o Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 352 Knotter Driver, Chesire, CT 06410. Borrower will not change its principal offices or the location where its books and records are kept without giving at least thirty (30) days’ advance notice to Lender. Borrower shall pay Lender’s costs and expenses incurred

 

-64-


in connection with such audit if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if any audit reveals any material discrepancy, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, in the financial information provided by Borrower. All audits, inspections and reports shall be made for the sole benefit of Lender. Neither Lender nor Lender’s auditors, inspectors, representatives, agents or contractors assumes any responsibility or liability (except to Lender) by reason of such audits, inspections or reports. Borrower will not rely upon any of such audits, inspections or reports. The performance of such audits, inspections and reports will not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of the Loan Documents. Neither Lender nor any other of Lender’s inspectors, representatives, agents or contractors, shall be responsible for any matters related to design or construction of the Improvements, the Initial Project Improvements or any Construction. Borrower shall cooperate, from time to time, with Lender and use reasonable efforts to assist Lender in obtaining an appraisal of the Mortgaged Property. Such cooperation and assistance from Borrower shall include reasonable access to the Mortgaged Property and books and records pertaining to the Mortgaged Property for Lender and its appraiser. The appraiser performing any such appraisal shall be engaged by Lender. Borrower shall not be responsible for the expenses of any such appraisal, provided, however, Borrower shall pay the fees of such appraiser in connection with one appraisal of the Mortgaged Property during the term of the Loan and any such appraisal when conducted following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any Governmental Authority which may in any way affect the rights of Lender under any of the Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, not prohibit Lender, at its election, from participating in any such proceedings.

5.8 Environmental Compliance. Borrower shall: (a) comply (or cause compliance) at all times with all applicable Environmental Laws, and (b) promptly take, or cause to be taken, any and all necessary remedial actions upon obtaining knowledge of the presence, storage, use, disposal, transportation, release or discharge of any Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Mortgaged Property which has a Material Adverse Effect or is in violation of any Environmental Laws. Borrower shall cause all remedial action with respect to Hazardous Material on, under or about the Mortgaged Property, to comply with all applicable Environmental Laws and the applicable policies, orders and directives of all federal, state and local Governmental Authorities. If Lender at any time has a reasonable basis to believe that there may be a violation of any Environmental Law by, or any liability arising thereunder of, Borrower or related to the Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall, upon request from Lender, provide Lender with such reports, certificates, engineering studies and other written material or data as Lender may reasonably require to confirm compliance by Borrower and the Mortgaged Property with all applicable Environmental Laws. Borrower shall permit Lender, its authorized representatives, consultants or other Persons retained by Lender to enter upon, examine, test and inspect the Mortgaged Property with regard to compliance with Environmental Laws, the presence of Hazardous Materials and the environmental condition of the Mortgaged Property and properties adjacent to the Land. Such entry, examination, testing and inspecting and reporting shall be at the expense of Borrower if (x) an Event of Default has occurred or (y) Lender has reasonably determined that there may be a violation of Environmental Law or any liability arising under Environmental Law, which expense shall be paid by Borrower to Lender within five (5) Business Days of written notice by Lender.

5.9 Environmental Disclosure. Borrower shall immediately upon becoming aware thereof advise Lender in writing and in reasonable detail of: (1) any release, disposal or discharge of any Hazardous Material at the Mortgaged Property required to be reported to any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory agency under all applicable Environmental Laws; (2) any and all written communications sent or received by Borrower or its agents with respect to any Environmental Claims or any release, disposal or discharge of Hazardous Material required to be reported to any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory agency; (3) any remedial action taken by Borrower or any other Person in response to any Hazardous Material on, under or about any real property owned, leased or operated by Borrower or the Mortgaged Property or its agents, the existence of which could result in an Environmental Claim; (4) the discovery by Borrower or its agents of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Mortgaged Property that could cause such real property or any part thereof to be classified as “border-zone property” or to be otherwise subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use thereof under any Environmental Laws; and (5) any request for information from any Governmental Authority that indicates such Governmental Authority is investigating whether Borrower or another present or former occupant of the Mortgaged Property may be potentially responsible for a release, disposal or discharge of Hazardous Materials from any of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of any proposed action to be taken by Borrower to commence any operations that could reasonably be expected to subject Borrower to additional laws, rules or regulations, including laws, rules and regulations requiring additional or amended environmental permits or licenses. Borrower shall, at its own expense, provide copies of such documents or information as Lender may reasonably request in relation to any matters disclosed pursuant to this Section 5.9.

5.10 Compliance with Laws, Employee Benefit Plans and Contractual Obligations. Borrower will promptly and faithfully (A) comply and cause the Mortgaged Property to comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of all Legal Requirements and the orders and requirements of any Governmental Authority in all jurisdictions in which it is now doing business or may hereafter be doing business and of every board of fire underwriters or similar body exercising similar functions, (B) maintain all licenses, certificates of occupancy, permits and Proprietary Rights now held or hereafter acquired by it or with respect to which a Material Adverse Effect will result if same are not existing and held by Borrower and (C) perform, observe, comply and fulfill all of its obligations, covenants and conditions contained in the Loan Documents and the Material Contracts.

5.12 Capital Expenditure Reserve. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit the amount required to be deposited into the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account on the Settlement Statement into the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account and thereafter Borrower shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with Lender (or such agent of Lender as Lender may designate in writing from time to time) into the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account, monthly, on each Payment Date, an amount equal to $3,000.00 for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a reserve (the “Capital Expenditure Reserve”) for the completion of capital improvement items and for equipment for use at the Mortgaged Property (“Capital Improvements”) which are approved in advance by Lender (“Approved Capital Improvements”). The funds contained in the Capital Expenditure Reserve shall be utilized by Borrower solely for Approved Capital Improvements. So long as no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of any requested distribution of funds from the Capital Expenditure Reserve, Lender shall make funds in the Capital Expenditure Reserve available to Borrower subject to satisfaction of each of the following terms and conditions: (a) all Capital Expenditure Reserve funds released by Lender to Borrower shall be used to pay for or reimburse Borrower for the reasonable expenses actually incurred and paid by Borrower for Approved Capital Improvements; (b) Borrower shall have given Lender a Request for Release satisfactory to Lender; (c) disbursements from the Capital Expenditure Reserve shall not be made more frequently than once per Loan Month; (d) each request for a disbursement shall be in an amount of not less than $10,000.00; and (e) upon request of Lender, Borrower shall also provide Lender with additional evidence satisfactory to Lender that Borrower is the owner or lessee of any capital improvements or equipment for which reimbursement is sought, free of any Liens (other than the first priority security interest in favor of Lender).

If an Event of Default exists, Lender may apply the Capital Expenditure Reserve funds, together with any interest accrued thereon, to Borrower’s Obligations in such order and priority as Lender may

 

-67-


determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that in any calendar year Borrower has expended sums on capital improvements and equipment approved in advance by Lender in excess of the sums required to be deposited into the Capital Expenditure Reserve hereunder for such period, Borrower may request that Lender approve (which approval shall be in Lender’s sole but good faith discretion) a reduction in the amount Borrower shall be required to deposit in the Capital Expenditure Reserve for the remaining portion of the calendar year to reflect the amount of such excess expenditures. Borrower shall furnish to Lender on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day following the end of each Loan Quarter a statement (“Capital Expenditure Reserve Statement”) setting forth (a) all deposits into and disbursements from the Capital Expenditure Reserve, (b) calculation of the aforesaid monthly deposits, including support documentation for the calculation of the applicable monthly Gross Revenues, and (c) a schedule of capital improvements and related expenses to which disbursements from the Capital Expenditure Reserve were applied during the applicable Loan Quarter, including, to the extent not previously provided to, and approved by, Lender, invoices, receipts, lien waivers and other documentation as Lender shall request. Lender shall not make any disbursements from the Capital Expenditure Reserve until (i) Lender has approved the expenditures proposed by Borrower, (ii) all conditions to such disbursement have been satisfied and (iii) Borrower has provided Lender with all invoices, receipts, lien waivers and other documentation reasonably requested by Lender. Lender may audit Borrower’s calculation of amounts deposited into the Capital Expenditure Reserve to determine the accuracy of Borrower’s calculation and, if such audit discloses a shortfall in the amounts theretofore deposited into the Capital Expenditure Reserve, Borrower shall promptly deposit the amount of such shortfall into the Capital Expenditure Reserve.

5.13 Equity Account. Simultaneous with the Closing, Borrower shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) the Borrower’s Initial Equity Contribution into a segregated account of Borrower with a financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Lender (the “Equity Account”).

5.14 Drug Approval. On or before December 31, 2007, Borrower shall obtain and shall deliver to Lender evidence (reasonably satisfactory to Lender) that the drug commonly known as “Soliris” has received final approval from the Food & Drug Administration Agency in the United States or the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) (the “Drug Approval”).

5.15 Acceptable Letter of Credit. In the event Borrower delivers an Acceptable Letter of Credit as a cure for failing to obtain Drug Approval in accordance with Section 5.14 of this Agreement, Borrower shall, if the Issuer ceases to have a Credit Rating of both “A+” or higher by S&P and “A1” or higher by Moody’s, Borrower shall, within twenty (20) Business Days of the rating downgrade, replace the Acceptable Letter of Credit with one issued by a bank having such rating.

5.17 [Intentionally Omitted.]

5.18 Management. Borrower shall provide competent, responsible management for the Mortgaged Property, which management, Lender acknowledges, is currently being provided, at no expense or cost to Borrower, by employees of Guarantor. In the event Borrower enters into a Management Agreement subsequent to the date hereof, the Manager and such Management Agreement must contain subordination and termination provisions and must be otherwise satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall not enter into any management agreement or arrangement with any Person with respect to the management of the Mortgaged Property without Lender’s prior written consent. Borrower shall cause management subordination agreements in form and substance satisfactory to Lender to be executed by the Manager. Borrower shall not modify, amend or terminate any approved management agreement without Lender’s prior written consent. Borrower shall provide Lender with written notice of the occurrence of any event of default or condition which with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute an event of default under any Management Agreement or which would entitle the Manager to terminate the Management Agreement. Any Management Agreement entered into by Borrower shall be terminated by Borrower, at Lender’s request, upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Borrower (i) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or (ii) if such Manager commits any act which would permit termination by Borrower under such Management Agreement. If a Manager is terminated pursuant hereto, Borrower shall immediately seek to appoint a replacement manager which is a Qualified Manager, and Borrower’s failure to appoint an acceptable Manager within thirty (30) days after Lender’s request of such Borrower to terminate the Management Agreement shall constitute an immediate Event of Default.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agree(s) that, upon the occurrence and during

 

-73-


the continuance of an Event of Default, it will have no further right to request or otherwise require Lender to disburse funds from any Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, it being agreed that Lender may, at its option, (i) direct the Bank to continue to hold the funds in the Reserve Accounts, (ii) continue, from time to time, to apply all or any portion of the funds held in the Reserve Accounts to any payment(s) which such funds could have been applied to prior to such Event of Default (or to pay Expenses directly), to the extent and in such order and manner as Lender in its sole discretion may determine, and/or (iii) direct the Bank to disburse all or any portion of the funds held in the Reserve Accounts or other Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral then or thereafter held by the Bank to Lender, in which event Lender may apply the funds held in the Reserve Accounts or other Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral to the Obligations, in any order and in such manner as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. If an Event of Default exists, Lender may, at any time or from time to time: (1) collect, appropriate, redeem, realize upon or otherwise enforce its rights with respect to the Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral, or any part thereof, without notice to any Borrower and without the need to institute any legal action, make demand to or upon any Borrower or any other Person, exhaust any other remedies or otherwise proceed to enforce its rights; (2) execute (in the name, place and stead of Borrower) any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance which may be required for the withdrawal and negotiation of the Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral; and/or (3) exercise all other rights and remedies available to Lender hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (w) Borrower shall remain liable under the Loan Documents to the extent set forth herein and therein to perform all of its respective obligations thereunder, to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed; (x) the exercise by Lender of any of its rights hereunder shall not release Borrower from its obligations under any of the Loan Documents, nor shall it constitute an election of remedies by Lender or a waiver by Lender of any of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents; (y) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall not have any obligation or liability by reason of this Agreement, nor shall Lender be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of Borrower hereunder or to take any action, in each case, to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder; and (z) Lender shall not have to resort to using the Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral before making demand upon or bringing an action against Borrower under any Loan Document under any guaranty given in connection with the Loan. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The remedies provided in this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.

6.7 Representations and Warranties Regarding Reserve Account and Other Accounts Collateral.

Borrower will not take any action which would in any manner impair the enforceability of this Agreement or the security interests created hereby. Borrower will not enter into any credit agreement or other borrowing facility including a line of credit or overdraft line, with Bank.

Lender may, from time to time, at its sole option, perform any act which Borrower agrees hereunder to perform which Borrower shall fail to perform after being requested in writing to so perform within 30 days of such request (or such shorter period as may be required by law) and Lender may from time to time take any other action which Lender deems necessary for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the rights granted to Lender hereunder.

-78-


Transfer of an indirect ownership interest in Borrower, by the current owner thereof to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guarantor and (ii) Transfers of ownership interests in a Person whose stock is publicly traded, so long as (x) no such transfers described in parts (i) and (ii) of this sentence result in any Person or Group acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than a forty-nine percent (49%) direct or indirect interest in Borrower (if such Person or Group did not prior to the Transfer, own at least forty-nine percent (49%) of the direct or indirect ownership interests in Borrower), unless such Person or Group acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than a forty-nine percent (49%) direct or indirect interest in Borrower has a Credit Rating of “Baa2” or higher from Moody’s or “BBB” or higher from S&P, or, as applicable, an equivalent rating from another Rating Agency, or, if such Person or Group is not rated by a Rating Agency, has (A) a Net Worth of $2,000,000,000 or more, (B) an EBITDA Interest Coverage of 6.0 or greater and (C) a Total Debt/Capitalization no greater than 30%, and (y) no Change in Control occurs by virtue of such Transfers (other than pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of “Change of Control”).

Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and Guarantor in owning and operating properties such as the Mortgaged Property in agreeing to make the Loan and will continue to rely on such ownership of the Mortgaged Property and Borrower and Guarantor as a means of maintaining the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for repayment of the Loan and the performance of the other Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Mortgaged Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Loan or the performance of the other Obligations, Lender can recover the Loan by a sale of the Mortgaged Property.

Borrower hereby represents, warrants, agrees and covenants that Borrower has, at all times, from its formation, been, and, at all times will be, a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.

If no Event of Default exists, Borrower may undertake any alteration, improvement, demolition or removal of Improvements or any portion thereof (any such alteration, improvement, demolition or removal, an “Alteration”) so long as (1) Borrower provides Lender with at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice of any such Alteration, (2) such Alteration is undertaken in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, is not prohibited by, and is in full compliance with, and does not violate, any Material Contracts or Legal Requirements and does not, during Construction and upon completion, have a Material Adverse Effect, (3) such Alteration is (x) in the nature of a Restoration required or permitted under the Agreement or (y) if not in the nature of the Alterations contemplated by (x), if the cost of such Alteration, as estimated by Lender, exceeds $100,000, then such Alteration has been consented to by Lender, such consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (and in the case of Alterations the cost of which, as estimated by Lender, does not exceed $100,000, no such consent shall be required), (4) Borrower has delivered to Lender copies of all plans and specifications detailing the Alteration and (5) prior to commencement and from time to time upon request from Lender, Borrower delivers an Officer’s Certificate certifying that conditions (1)–(3), inclusive, have been satisfied.

(a) In the event of any damage or destruction of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, all Proceeds shall be payable to Lender. Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any affected insurance company or condemning Governmental Authority or other Persons to make payment of such proceeds directly to Lender. Borrower shall obtain Lender’s approval prior to any settlement, adjustment or compromise of any claims for loss, damage or destruction under any policy or policies of insurance or with respect to any condemnation, and Lender shall have the right to participate with Borrower in negotiation of any such settlement, adjustment or compromise provided, however, Borrower shall be permitted, so long as no Event of Default exists, to settle insurance claims of $250,000 or less without Lender’s approval (but with reasonable advance notice to Lender) and utilize any such funds for Restoration. Lender shall also have the right to appear with Borrower in any action against an insurer based on a claim for loss, damage or destruction under any policy or policies of insurance.

(b) All compensation, proceeds, damages, claims, insurance recoveries, rights of action and payments which Borrower may receive or to which Borrower may become entitled with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof as a result of any casualty or condemnation, except as set forth below in this Section 8.1 (the “Proceeds”), shall be paid over to Lender and shall be held in an escrow account with an Acceptable Financial Institution. The Proceeds shall be applied first toward reimbursement of all costs and expenses of Lender in connection with recovery of the same, and then, except as set forth below in this Section 8.1, shall be applied in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender, without regard to the adequacy of Lender’s security hereunder, to the payment or prepayment of the Obligations in such order as Lender may determine, and any amounts so applied shall reduce the Obligations pro tanto (without any Prepayment Premium due in connection therewith). Any application of the Proceeds or any portion thereof to the Obligations shall not be construed to cure or waive any Event of Default or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such Event of Default.

(c) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.1, and provided that (i) all Proceeds have been deposited with an Acceptable Financial Institution; (ii) no Event of Default shall exist; (iii) a Total Loss with respect to the Property shall not have occurred; (iv) the Restoration is capable, as reasonably determined by Lender, of being completed before the earlier (the “Required Restoration Date”) to occur of (x) the date which is six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (y) the date on which the insurance carried by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4(a)(ii), with respect to the Mortgaged Property shall expire and (z) twenty-four (24) months after the occurrence of the casualty or condemnation in question; (v) Lender shall have been furnished with an estimate of the cost of restoration accompanied by an architect’s certificate as to such costs and

 

-81-


appropriate final plans and specifications for reconstruction of the Improvements, all of which shall be approved by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (vi) the Improvements so restored or rebuilt shall be of at least equal value and substantially the same character as prior to the damage or destruction and appropriate for the purposes for which they were originally erected (and, if requested by Lender, Borrower will furnish, at its expense, an appraisal confirming such valuation); (vii) Borrower shall have furnished Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all Improvements so restored and/or reconstructed and their use fully comply with all applicable zoning, building laws, ordinances and regulations and other Legal Requirements and that all required licenses and approvals required for use, operation and occupancy of the Improvements can be obtained, to the extent available; (viii) if the estimated cost of restoration exceeds the Proceeds available, Borrower shall have deposited with Lender such sums or other security as may be necessary, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, to pay such excess costs and (ix) Lender shall have received notice within thirty (30) days of the fire or other hazard or of the condemnation proceedings specifying the date of such fire or other hazard or the date the notice of condemnation proceedings was received and the request to Lender to make said Proceeds available to Borrower; then the Proceeds, less the actual costs, fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with adjustment of loss and Lender’s reasonable administrative expenses relating to such loss and the disbursement of the Proceeds shall be made available by Lender to the payment of all the costs of the aforesaid restoration, repairs, replacement, rebuilding or alterations, including the cost of temporary repairs or for the protection of property pending the completion of permanent restoration, repairs, replacements, rebuilding or alterations (all of which temporary repairs, protection of property and permanent restoration, repairs, replacement, rebuilding or alterations are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Restoration”), and shall be paid out from time to time as such Restoration progresses upon the request of Borrower if the work for which payment is requested has been done in a good and workmanlike manner, in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements and substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor. Each request by Borrower for disbursement of Proceeds shall (unless Lender otherwise elects, in its sole discretion, with respect to a Restoration estimated by Lender to cost $100,000 or less to complete, to waive any of the following requirements) be accompanied by the required Lien Waivers, a Request for Release, and, to the extent not subsumed within a Request for Release, the following:

(1) A certificate signed by Borrower, dated not more than thirty (30) days prior to such request, setting forth the following: (A) That the sum then requested either has been paid, or is justly due to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, engineers, architects or other persons who have rendered services or furnished materials for the restoration therein specified or have paid for the same, the names and addresses of such persons, a brief description of such services and materials, the several amounts so paid or due to each of said persons in respect thereof (together with supporting statements and invoices for the same), that no part of such expenditures has been or is being made the basis of any previous or then pending request for the withdrawal of Proceeds or has been made out of any of the Proceeds received by Borrower, and that the sum then requested does not exceed the value of the services and materials described in the certificate; and (B)

 

-82-


That the costs, as estimated by the persons signing such certificate, of the Restoration required to be done subsequent to the date of such certificate in order to complete and pay for the same, do not exceed the Proceeds, plus any amount or security approved by Lender and deposited with such Acceptable Financial Institution by Borrower to defray such costs and remaining in the hands of Lender after payment of the sum requested in such certificate.

(2) A title insurance report or other evidence satisfactory to Lender to the effect that there has not been filed with respect to the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, any vendor’s, contractor’s, mechanics’, laborer’s, materialmen’s or other Lien which has not been discharged of record or bonded or insured over, except such as will be disbursed by payment of the amount then requested.

(3) A certificate signed by the Independent Architect and/or engineer in charge of the Restoration, who shall be selected by Borrower and approved in writing by Lender, certifying that the Restoration is proceeding in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Lender and in accordance with all zoning, subdivision and other Legal Requirements. Upon compliance with the foregoing provisions, Lender shall, out of Proceeds (and the amount of security approved by Lender, if any, deposited by Borrower to defray the costs of the Restoration), pay or cause to be paid to Borrower or the Persons named (pursuant to clause (1)(A) above) in such certificate the respective amounts stated therein to have been paid by Borrower or to be due to them, as the case may be.

(d) If the Proceeds at the time held by the Acceptable Financial Institution, less the actual costs, fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the adjustment of the loss and Lender’s administrative expenses relating to such loss and the disbursement of the Proceeds, shall be, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, insufficient to pay the entire cost of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit with such Acceptable Financial Institution any such deficiency prior to disbursement of any additional portion of the Proceeds. Lender shall at all times have a perfected security interest on all Proceeds and other amounts held by such Acceptable Financial Institution pursuant to this Section 8. No payment made prior to the final completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety-five percent (95%) of the value of the work performed from time to time (provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, subcontractors who have completed their work may be paid in full), and at all times the undisbursed balance of said Proceeds remaining in the hands of Lender shall be at least sufficient to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration free and clear of liens. In addition to the requirements and conditions set forth in Section 5.19, final payment shall be upon an architect’s certificate of completion in accordance with the final plans and specifications and compliance with all applicable zoning, building, subdivision and other governmental laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations, the filing of a notice of completion and delivery to Lender of a certified copy of a final unconditional permanent certificate of occupancy regarding the Restoration, provided, that if only a temporary certificate of occupancy is available, it shall be accepted for so long as it is operative until Borrower obtains the final certificate. To the extent available, Lender may, at its option, require an endorsement to the Title Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage as to all sums advanced

 

-83-


hereunder, such endorsement to be paid for by Borrower. Upon completion of the Restoration in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance herewith, and provided that Lender has received satisfactory evidence that the Restoration has been paid for in full and the Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all Liens, other than the Liens created in favor of Lender by the Loan Documents and the Permitted Encumbrances (including signed lien waivers from all contractors and subcontractors conditioned only on payment of amounts specified therein), any balance of the Proceeds at the time held by Lender (after reimbursement to Lender of all costs and expenses of Lender, including administrative expenses, in connection with recovery of the same and disbursement of such Proceeds for the Restoration), if any, shall be applied as follows: (i) to the extent that such balance of the Proceeds is equal to or less than the amount, if any, by which the value of the Mortgaged Property prior to such damage or destruction exceeds the value of the Mortgaged Property after such Restoration (for these purposes, the value of the Mortgaged Property shall be determined by Lender in its discretion), then the portion of the balance of the Proceeds equal to such excess amount shall be applied to the payment or prepayment of the principal balance of the Obligations in such order as Lender may determine, and any amounts so applied shall reduce the Obligations pro tanto (without any Prepayment Premium due in connection therewith); and (ii) to the extent that the balance of the Proceeds exceeds such excess amount, such portion of the balance of the Proceeds shall be paid to Borrower.

(e) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to excuse Borrower from repairing or maintaining the Mortgaged Property as provided in the Agreement hereof or restoring all damage or destruction to the Mortgaged Property, regardless of whether or not there are insurance proceeds available or whether any such Proceeds are sufficient in amount, and the application or release by Lender of any Proceeds shall not cure or waive any Default or Event of Default or invalidate any other act done by Lender to exercise its remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, if, prior to the last two (2) years of the term of the Loan, Lender elects not to make such Proceeds available to Borrower for restoration, then Borrower may prepay the Loan without payment of the Prepayment Premium, so long as an Event of Default is not then in existence.

(a) Acceleration. Declare immediately due and payable, without further notice, protest, presentment, notice of protest or demand, all Obligations including all monies advanced under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and/or any of the Loan Documents which are then unpaid, together with all interest then accrued thereon and all other amounts then owing (including any Default Interest, or prepayment premium owed as a result of such acceleration).

(f) Cessation of Loan Funding. Cease disbursement of Loan Proceeds.

9.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers; Reasonable Charges. All of the remedies given to Lender in the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity to Lender shall be cumulative and may be exercised separately, successively or concurrently. Failure to exercise any one of the remedies herein provided shall not constitute a waiver thereof by Lender, nor shall the use of any such remedies prevent the subsequent or concurrent resort to any other remedy or remedies vested in Lender by the Loan Documents or at law or in equity. To be effective, any waiver by Lender must be in writing and such waiver shall be limited in its effect to the condition or default specified therein, and no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent condition or default. It is agreed that (i) the actual costs and damages that Lender would suffer by reason of an Event of Default (exclusive of the attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents) or a prepayment would be difficult and needlessly expensive to calculate and establish, and (ii) the amounts of the Default Rate, the Late Charge, and the Prepayment Premium are reasonable, taking into consideration the circumstances known to the parties at this time, and (iii) the Default Rate, the Late Charges and Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable as provided herein, and (iv) the Default Rate, Late Charges, Prepayment Premium, and the obligation to pay Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and other enforcement costs do not, individually or collectively, constitute a penalty.

SECTION 10

SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTION

10.1 Secondary Market Transaction. Borrower agrees that Lender has the absolute right to securitize, syndicate, grant participations in, or otherwise Transfer all or any portion of the Loan (each such transaction, a “Securitization”). Lender may determine to Transfer some or all of the Loan or retain title to some or all of the Loan as part of a Securitization. Borrower further agrees that Lender may delegate any or all of Lender’s rights, powers and privileges to a servicer (“Servicer”) and Borrower shall, upon notice from Lender, recognize the Servicer as the agent of Lender. In the event this Loan becomes or is designated by Lender to become an asset of a Securitization, upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall meet, from time to time, with

 

-89-


representatives of the Rating Agencies in connection with such a Securitization to discuss the business and operations of the Mortgaged Property and, in that regard, agrees to cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Rating Agencies including delivering any existing environmental information relating to the Mortgaged Property in Borrower’s possession. Lender may retain the Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on any certificates issued in a Securitization. In no event shall Borrower be required to pay any servicer fees, Securitization trustee fees or other Securitization administrative expenses except as may be expressly provided in this Agreement. Borrower shall, upon request from Lender, from time to time, cooperate, and Borrower shall, cause Guarantor to cooperate, in all reasonable respects in connection with a Securitization. Such cooperation may, in Lender’s discretion, include documentation changes, changes in organizational documents, changes in Accounts, Reserves, Payment Dates, Interest Periods, insurance endorsement changes, tenant payment direction changes, site inspections, updated appraisals, preparation and delivery of financial information or other diligence requested by Lender and/or any Rating Agency; provided, however, any third party costs incurred by Borrower related to such changes shall be reimbursed by Lender and such changes shall not materially and adversely diminish Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents nor increase Borrower’s burdens and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such cooperation may include, in Lender’s discretion, execution of one or more promissory notes and the creation of Liens securing such notes of differing priority and/or the creation of mezzanine debt secured by pledges of all of the membership interests in the Borrower so long as the principal amount, interest rate, payment terms and other monetary terms of the Loan do not, in the aggregate change. Borrower will not be required to incur more than de minimis expenses or costs pursuant to this Section 10.1, except to the extent Borrower is otherwise obligated under the Loan Documents to pay such costs and expenses. Borrower will, upon request from Lender, in connection with a Securitization, enter into such acknowledgments and confirmations of the applicable assignments as Lender may request. Borrower shall, subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 10.1, use reasonable efforts to satisfy the market standards which Lender determines are reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with a Securitization. Borrower will not, pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 10.1, incur, suffer or accept (except to a de minimis extent) (i) any lesser rights or greater obligations as are currently set forth in the Loan Documents or Borrower’s Organizational Documents (unless Borrower is made whole by the holder of the Note) or (ii) subject to Section 11.13 hereof, any personal liability other than as set forth in the Loan Documents. Borrower will also, if requested by Lender, cause independent counsel to render opinions customary in securitization transactions with respect to the Mortgaged Property and Borrower and its Affiliates (but not a true sale, 10b-5 or nonconsolidation opinion), which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies and which shall be addressed to such Persons as shall be reasonably designated by the holder of the Note. Borrower’s failure to deliver the opinions required hereby within fifteen (15) Business Days after written request therefor shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. If requested by Lender, Borrower’s cooperation will also include (but subject to Section 11.13) certifications and agreements pursuant to which Borrower will certify that it has examined the portion of applicable preliminary and final private placement memorandum or preliminary, final and supplement or prospectus specified by Lender as pertaining to Borrower, the Loan, Guarantor, Borrower’s Affiliates, the Mortgaged Property and the Manager, and that each such designated portion, as it relates to Borrower, Guarantor, Borrower’s Affiliates, the Mortgaged Property, Manager and all

 

-90-


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. Such agreement may, if requested by Lender, require Borrower to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Lender and other Persons designated by Lender from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the reviewed documents or other information or documents prepared by Borrower, Guarantor or their Affiliates and provided to Lender or in any representation or warranty of Borrower or Guarantor contained in the Loan Documents 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 information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information not materially misleading.

SECTION 11

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Expenses and Attorneys’ Fees. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to promptly pay all fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, cost of appeal and the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of other professionals retained by Lender) incurred by Lender in connection with the following, and all such fees, costs and expenses shall be part of the Obligations, payable on ten (10) Business Days written notice: (A) the examination, review, due diligence investigation, documentation and closing of the financing arrangements evidenced by the Loan Documents; (B) the giving or withholding of any consents, approvals, or permissions, administration of the Loan, disbursements of the Loan and disbursements from the Accounts and in connection with any amendments, modifications and waivers relating to the Loan Documents requested by Borrower; (C) the review, documentation, negotiation and closing of any subordination or intercreditor agreements, Lease reviews, and subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreements; (D) Lender’s Representatives including Lender’s Construction Consultant; and (E) enforcement of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the collection of any payments due from Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan Documents or any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under the Loan Document, whether in the nature of a “workout” or in connection with any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise.

11.2 Certain Lender Matters. Lender may, in accordance with Lender’ customary practices, destroy or otherwise dispose of all documents, schedules, invoices or other papers, delivered by Borrower to Lender unless Borrower requests, at the time of delivery, in writing that same be returned. Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Mortgaged Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender. No provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty by Lender to Borrower or any other Person. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by Lender shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Lender and shall have no duty of loyalty, duty of care or any other duty to Borrower or any of Borrower’s partners, shareholders, members, managers,

 

-91-


Affiliates or any other Person. By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty or representation with respect hereto or thereto by Lender. 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 or their respective attorneys, advisors, accountants, officers, representatives, directors, employees, partners, shareholders, trustees, members or managers. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any Parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action, in either case, 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. LENDER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY HEREUNDER FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES. In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Borrower or Guarantor, or their respective creditors or property, Lender, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lender allowed in such proceedings for the entire secured Obligations at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable by Borrower after such date. Lender shall have the right from time to time to designate, appoint and replace one or more servicers and to allow servicer to exercise any and all rights of Lender under the Loan Documents. All documents and other matters required by any of the provisions of this Agreement to be submitted or provided to Lender shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall not be entitled to (and does hereby waive any and all rights to receive) any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which the Loan Documents expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower. In any action or proceeding brought by Borrower against Lender claiming or based upon an allegation that Lender unreasonably withheld its consent to or approval of a proposed act by Borrower which requires Lender’s consent hereunder, Borrower’s sole and exclusive remedy in said action or proceeding shall be injunctive relief or specific performance requiring Lender to grant such consent or approval.

11.3 Indemnity. In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 11.1 and the indemnification obligations set forth in other portions of this Agreement, the Environmental Indemnification Agreement or the other Loan Documents, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to indemnify, pay, defend and hold Lender, its officers, directors, members, partners, shareholders, participants, beneficiaries, trustees, employees, agents, successors and assigns, any subsequent holder of the Note, any trustee, fiscal agent, servicer, underwriter and placement agent, (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all actual costs and expenses incurred by Indemnitees in connection with any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,

 

-92-


judgments, causes of action, suits, claims, tax liabilities, broker’s or finders fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against that Indemnitee, based upon any third party claims against such Indemnitees in any manner related to or arising out of (A) any breach by Borrower or Guarantor of any representation, warranty, covenant, or other agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, (B) the actual or threatened presence, release, disposal, spill, escape, leakage, transportation, migration, seepage, discharge, removal, or cleanup of any Hazardous Material located on, about, within, under, affecting, from or onto the Mortgaged Property or any violation of any applicable Environmental Law by Borrower or the Mortgaged Property, or (C) the use or intended use of the proceeds of any of the Loan (the foregoing liabilities herein collectively referred to as the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that Borrower shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined in a final order by a court of competent jurisdiction. Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation under clause (B) of this Section 11.3 with respect to Hazardous Materials first introduced to the Land and Improvements after either (1) the foreclosure of the Mortgage or (2) the delivery by Borrower to, and acceptance by, Lender or its designee of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Mortgaged Property. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. If any such action or other proceeding shall be brought against Lender, upon written notice from Borrower to Lender (given reasonably promptly following Lender’s notice to Borrower of such action or proceeding), Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, at Borrower’s expense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender; provided, however, Lender may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense, but such participation shall not be deemed to give Lender a right to control such defense, which right Borrower expressly retains. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee shall, following notice to and consultation with Borrower, have the right to employ separate counsel at Borrower’s expense if, in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnitee and Borrower that would make such separate representation advisable. Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify an Indemnitee for damage or loss resulting from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event shall the indemnification contained herein include consequential or punitive damages resulting from any claims brought directly by Lender, however, to the extent the indemnification relates to environmental issues and to third party claims, such environmental related indemnification shall include consequential and punitive damages.

11.4 Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender (and, with respect to any amendment or modification, unless also signed by Borrower). Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it

 

-93-


was given. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower, or any other Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners or members and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Mortgaged Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Mortgage, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Mortgaged Property for the collection of the obligations without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the obligations owing Lender on account of the Loan Documents out of the net proceeds of the Mortgaged Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of any of any portion of the Mortgaged Property or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any combination of the Mortgaged Property before proceeding against any other portion; and further in the event of such foreclosure, Borrower expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim or defense of performance, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents. No failure or delay on the part of Lender or any holder of any Note in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under the Note or any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. Lender shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Person makes a payment or payments to Lender, or Lender enforces its remedies or exercise its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, if any, rights and remedies therefore, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. Borrower agrees (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury or other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit or forgive Borrower from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Loan contemplated herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement; and Borrower (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the

 

-94-


execution of any power herein granted to the holders, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

11.5 Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given shall be in writing addressed to the respective party as set forth below and may be personally served, telecopied (with request for confirmation) or sent by overnight courier service or United States registered mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Any notice so given shall be deemed effective upon delivery or on refusal or failure of delivery during normal business hours. Notices shall be addressed to the parties at the addresses specified on Schedule 11.5 or to such other address as the party addressed shall have previously designated by written notice to the serving party, given in accordance with this Section 11.5.

11.6 Survival of Warranties and Certain Agreements. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of the Loan hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Notes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the provisions of Sections 2.6, 5.8, 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.12, 11.13 and 11.15 shall survive the payment of the Loan and the termination of this Agreement. Subject to this Section 11.6, all other representations, warranties and agreements of Borrower and Lender set forth in this Agreement shall terminate upon indefeasible payment in full of the Loan and the termination of this Agreement.

11.7 Miscellaneous. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect. All covenants and agreements hereunder shall be given in any jurisdiction independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction of any provision in or obligation under this Agreement, the Note or other Loan Documents shall not affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations under this Agreement, the Note or other Loan Documents or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction. This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Borrower and Lender, and no other Person shall be deemed to have any privity of contract hereunder nor any right to rely hereon to any extent or for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall any other person have any right of action of any kind hereon or be deemed to be a third party beneficiary hereunder. This Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents referred to herein embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto. Borrower and Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by Borrower and Lender. If any term, condition or provision of this Agreement shall be inconsistent with any term, condition or provision of any other Loan Document, this Agreement shall control. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements may be executed in any

 

-95-


number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto.

11.8 APPLICABLE LAW. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE LOAN AND LOAN DOCUMENTS HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL NEXUS TO THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

11.9 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns except that Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents without the written consent of Lender. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to the Loan Documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of the Loan Documents.

11.10 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS. BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK AND IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT, ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS. BORROWER AND LENDER ACCEPT FOR ITSELF, RESPECTIVELY, AND IN CONNECTION WITH THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENT, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR SUCH OBLIGATION. BORROWER DESIGNATES AND APPOINTS CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY AND SUCH OTHER PERSONS AS MAY HEREAFTER BE SELECTED BY BORROWER WITH LENDER’S APPROVAL WHICH IRREVOCABLY AGREE IN WRITING TO SO SERVE AS ITS AGENT TO RECEIVE ON ITS BEHALF SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDINGS IN ANY SUCH COURT, SUCH SERVICE BEING HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED BY BORROWER TO BE EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT. A COPY OF ANY SUCH PROCESS SO SERVED SHALL BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS GOVERNING A THE TIME OF SERVICE TO THE ADDRESS PROVIDED IN SUBSECTION 11.5 EXCEPT THAT UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY FAILURE TO MAIL SUCH COPY SHALL NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF SERVICE OF PROCESS. IF ANY AGENT APPOINTED BY BORROWER AS ITS AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS REFUSES TO ACCEPT SERVICE OF PROCESS, BORROWER HEREBY AGREES THAT SERVICE UPON IT BY MAIL SHALL CONSTITUTE SUFFICIENT SERVICE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

 

-96-


11.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION AND LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. BORROWER AND LENDER ALSO WAIVE ANY BOND OR SURETY OR SECURITY UPON SUCH BOND WHICH MIGHT, BUT FOR THIS WAIVER, BE REQUIRED OF BORROWER OR LENDER. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. BORROWER AND LENDER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT EACH WELL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. BORROWER AND LENDER FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOAN. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

11.12 Publicity. Lender (and Lender’s Affiliates) may, subject to the applicable limitations on distribution of Confidential Information set forth in this Section 11.12 and subject to the approval of Guarantor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and Borrower does hereby authorize Lender (and its Affiliates) to, refer, in its sole discretion, to the Loan in tombstone advertisements, offering memoranda in connection with Securitizations and reports to investors, which references, may include use of photographs, drawings and other depictions, images of the Land and Improvements (provided that such photographs, drawings and other depictions, and/or images shall not include floor plans of the area behind the barrier or other trade secrets), a description of the Loan, use of Borrower’s name, the address of the Mortgaged Property and the logo of Borrower and/or Guarantor. Borrower shall cause the owner of such “logo” rights to consent to such use upon request from Lender at the Closing. Lender hereby agrees that (i) any written information, data, documents, etc. delivered in connection with the making of the Loan which has been expressly designated as such by notice to Lender from Borrower, (ii) any information contained in the books and records of Borrower or Guarantor which is either confidential, proprietary, or otherwise not generally available to the public (but excluding information Lender has obtained independently from third-party sources without Lender’s knowledge that the source has violated any fiduciary or other duty not to disclose such information) and which has been expressly designated as such by notice to Lender from Borrower, (iii) any financial statements of Borrower provided pursuant to this Agreement which are not publicly available and which has been expressly designated as confidential by notice to

 

-97-


Lender from Borrower, and (iv) any other information, data, documents, etc. which are delivered to or received by Lender and which are conspicuously stamped or marked “CONFIDENTIAL”, or, if delivered or received pursuant to an oral communication, such communication is subsequently referred to in a writing memorializing such communication delivered to Lender within thirty (30) days of such communication and marked as “CONFIDENTIAL” (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), will be kept confidential by Lender, using the same standard of care in safeguarding the Confidential Information as Lender employs in protecting its own proprietary information which Lender desires not to disseminate or publish. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information may be disseminated (a) pursuant to the requirements of applicable law, (b) pursuant to judicial process, administrative agency process or order of Governmental Authority, (c) in connection with litigation, arbitration proceedings or administrative proceedings before or by any Governmental Authority or stock exchange, (d) to Lender’s attorneys, accountants, advisors and actual or prospective financing sources who will be instructed to comply with this Section 11.12, (e) to the Rating Agencies, (f) to actual or prospective trustees, assignees, pledgees, participants, agents, servicers, or securities holders in a Securitization, and (g) pursuant to the requirements or rales of a stock exchange or stock trading system on which the Securities of Lender or its Affiliates may be listed or traded. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision, any party (and its employee, representative or other agent) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, if required by applicable law. For purposes of this Section 11.12, Confidential Information will not be deemed to include the Loan amount and the other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, the street address and common name, if any, of the Land and Improvements and the name of Borrower and Guarantor, the logo of Borrower and /or Guarantor and photographs or other depictions of the Mortgaged Property (provided that such photographs or other depictions shall not include floor plans of the area behind the barrier or other trade secrets). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Borrower or Guarantor conspicuously marks specific information, data, documents, etc. or with respect to an oral communication, in a subsequent writing memorializing such communication delivered to Lender within thirty (30) days of such communication marked as, “CONFIDENTIAL: FOR LENDER’S INTERNAL USE ONLY; NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION,” then Lender may only disseminate such information, data, documents, etc. pursuant to the requirements of applicable law (including pursuant to an order of a Governmental Authority) or pursuant to the written consent of Borrower or Guarantor.

11.13 Recourse Loan. Borrower shall have full personal recourse liability for the Obligations incurred under this Agreement, this Note or any of the other Loan Documents. Such liability shall not be imputed to any member, officer, director, employee of Borrower solely by virtue of such relationship to Borrower; provided, however, that such qualification shall not affect Guarantor’s liability under the Guaranty and shall not impute liability to any member, officer, director, employee of Guarantor.

11.14 Performance by Lender/Attorney-in-Fact. In the event that Borrower shall at any time fail to duly and punctually pay, perform, observe or comply with any of its covenants and agreements hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or if any Event of Default hereunder shall exist, then Lender may (but shall in no event be required to) make any such payment or

 

-98-


perform any such term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement or cure any such Event of Default. Lender shall not take action under this Section 11.14 prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default unless in Lender’s good faith judgment reasonably exercised, such action is necessary or appropriate in order to preserve the value of the Collateral, to protect Persons or property, or Borrower has abandoned the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof. Lender shall not be obligated to continue any such action having commenced the same and may cease the same without notice to Borrower. Any amounts expended by Lender in connection with such action shall constitute additional advances hereunder, the payment of which is additional Indebtedness, secured by the Loan Documents and shall become due and payable within ten (10) days of demand by Lender, with interest at the Default Rate from the date of disbursement thereof until fully paid. No further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary for such disbursements. The execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall and hereby does constitute an irrevocable direction and authorization to Lender to so disburse such funds. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender, as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with full authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or otherwise (A) during the existence of an Event of Default in the discretion of Lender, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Lender may deem necessary to accomplish the purpose of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including the following: (i) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for monies due and to become due under or in respect of the Accounts and/or any of the Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral; (ii) to receive, endorse, and collect (x) any Gross Revenues, (y) any instruments made payable to any Borrower representing any dividend, payment of principal, interest, redemption price, purchase price or other distribution or payment in respect of any Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral, or (z) any other instruments, documents and chattel paper received in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (iii) to file any claims, or take any action or institute any proceedings which Lender shall deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any Gross Revenues in the event Borrower shall fail to do so, or to otherwise enforce the rights of Lender with respect to this Agreement; (B) to execute and/or file, without the signature of Borrower any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, continuation statements, or other filing, and any amendment thereof, relating to the Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral; (C) to give notice to any third parties which may be required to perfect Lender’s security interest in the Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral; and (D) during the existence of an Event of Default, to register, purchase, sell, assign, transfer, pledge or take any other action with respect to any Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral in accordance with this Agreement or any Loan Document. Lender shall notify Borrower of Lender’s taking of any action as attorney-in-fact, or otherwise in Borrower’s name, pursuant to the provisions of this Section.

11.15 Brokerage Claims. Borrower shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against all loss, cost, liability and expense incurred as a result of any claim for a broker’s or finder’s fee against Lender or any Person, in connection with the transaction herein contemplated, provided such claim is made by or arises through or under Borrower or is based in whole or in part upon alleged acts or omissions of Borrower. Lender shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Borrower harmless from and against all loss, cost, liability and expense incurred as a result of any claim for a broker’s or finder’s fee against Borrower or any other Person in connection with the transaction herein contemplated, provided such claim is made by

 

-99-


or arises through or under Lender or is based in whole or in part upon alleged acts or omissions of Lender.

ALEXION MANUFACTURING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”) and Lender have entered into that certain Loan Agreement (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), dated of even date herewith, wherein, among other things, Lender has agreed to make, and Borrower has agreed to accept, a loan in an original maximum principal amount up to TWENTY SIX MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($26,000,000.00) (the “Loan”) upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement. Any capitalized term used but not defined in this Guaranty shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Loan Agreement.

B. The Loan is evidenced by a Promissory Note, dated of even date herewith, in the original principal amount of up to $26,000,000.00 (together with any notes given in substitution or exchange from time to time, as such Promissory Note and substitute or exchange notes may, from time to time, be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the “Note”). The Note is secured by, among other things, a Construction Mortgage Deed, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement, and Fixture Filing of even date herewith (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Mortgage”).

C. Guarantor is the sole member of Borrower.

D. It is a condition to the making of the Loan that Guarantor execute and deliver this Guaranty.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Loan, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, Guarantor and its successors and assigns, hereby covenants and agrees with Lender for the benefit of Lender, its endorsees, participants, successors and assigns, as follows:

1. Guaranty.

(a) Scope of Guaranty. Guarantor as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender the prompt and complete payment (and performance, in the case of non-pecuniary obligations) of all of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined below) in full, when and as the same shall become due, whether on any due date or performance date or at stated maturity thereof, or by declaration, acceleration or required payment, or upon demand or otherwise (including amounts and


performance that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, Title 11, United States Code, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”).

Guarantor hereby agrees, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Lender may have at law or in equity against Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Borrower to pay or perform any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due (or, as provided below, would have become due), whether at stated maturity or due date or performance date, as the case may be, by required payment or prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including without limitation amounts that would have become due, or could have been accelerated, but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not any Creditor has taken any action to enforce or exercise any right or remedy in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, and interest and fees which, but for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy with respect to Borrower, would have accrued and become due on, or constituting, such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Borrower for such amounts in any such bankruptcy proceeding), Guarantor will forthwith pay and perform, or cause to be paid and performed, all Guaranteed Obligations then due (or that would have accrued and/or become due but for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy with respect to Borrower) as aforesaid, and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to the Lender as aforesaid.

(b) Obligations Guaranteed. As used in this Guaranty, “Guaranteed Obligations” means, collectively: (1) the prompt and complete payment of the all principal and interest payments and all other amounts, when due, in accordance with the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, the Loan, whether at stated maturity or otherwise, (2) the payment and performance of all Obligations as defined in the Loan Agreement, as and when due, and (3) all of the obligations, duties and agreements of Borrower under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents relating to the construction, renovation, redevelopment, equipping and furnishing of the Mortgaged Property and the Completion of the Initial Construction Work in accordance with the Project Plans and Specifications, all applicable Legal Requirements and all provisions of the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Lender that:

(i) Borrower shall timely construct, renovate, redevelop, equip, furnish and substantially complete and achieve Substantial Completion of Initial Construction Work on or before Required Completion Date in compliance with the Project Plans and Specifications, applicable Legal Requirements and the Loan Documents;

(ii) The Borrower shall keep the Loan “in balance” (as more particularly described in Section 3.2(d) of the Loan Agreement);

(iii) The Borrower shall fully and punctually deposit amounts required to be paid pursuant to the loan balancing provisions of Section 3.2(d) of the Loan Agreement;

 

- 2 -


(iv) Borrower shall fully and punctually pay and discharge any and all costs and expenses and liabilities incurred for or in connection with the construction, renovation, redevelopment, equipping, furnishing and Completion of Initial Construction Work, when and as the same may become due and payable, and also pay and discharge any and all claims and demands for labor and materials used and services rendered for or in connection with the construction, renovation, redevelopment and Completion Initial Construction Work and/or installation of all items of fixtures, furnishings and equipment and other personalty in connection therewith; and

(v) The Mortgaged Property shall be and remain free and clear of any and all Liens, claims, and demands from any and all Persons furnishing materials, labor or services for or in connection with the construction, equipping, furnishing or completion of the Initial Construction Work and/or the installation of all items of fixtures, furnishings and equipment and other personalty in connection therewith.

(c) Indemnity, Reimbursement and Performance. In the event that Borrower does not fully perform the Guaranteed Obligations, then:

(i) Guarantor shall, within ten (10) days of demand by Lender, perform the Guaranteed Obligations;

(ii) In the event that Guarantor fails to commence performance under the immediately preceding Section l(c)(i) (i) within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s written demand and to diligently prosecute such performance to completion thereof, and if Lender shall (a) cause any construction, renovation, redevelopment, equipping and furnishing of the Initial Construction Work and the Project Improvements, or takes any action whatsoever toward Completion of the Project, (b) pay any costs in connection with the construction, renovation, redevelopment, equipping and furnishing of the Initial Construction Work or the completion of the Project Improvements, or (c) cause any lien, claim or demand to be released or paid, then Guarantor shall promptly reimburse Lender within ten (10) Business Days after written demand, for all sums paid and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith; and

(iii) Guarantor will fully indemnify, defend and save Lender harmless from all actual out of pocket third party costs and damages (including reasonable attorney’s fees, including any diminution in value) that Lender may suffer by reason of Guarantor’s failure to promptly and fully perform under the immediately preceding Section l(c) (i) and (ii) above. In no event shall the indemnification contained herein include consequential or punitive damages.

(d) Balancing. If, at any time and for any reason, Borrower shall fail to deposit amounts required to be deposited by Section 3.2 of the Loan Agreement within the ten (10) Business Day period provided therein for such payment, then Guarantor shall, within five (5) Business Days after a written request by Lender, deposit with Lender cash in an amount sufficient to cover the deficiency not paid by Borrower. Lender shall hold and apply such deposited cash as provided in the Loan Agreement.

 

- 3 -


(e) Enforcement Costs. In addition to the foregoing payment obligations, Guarantor further agrees to pay any and all actual out of pocket third party costs and other expenses (the “Enforcement Costs”) that may be paid or incurred directly or indirectly by each of the Lender in, or allocable to, collecting any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations and/or preserving and/or enforcing any rights and remedies under this Guaranty and/or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Lender and its respective agents and representatives in connection with any default or event of default, beyond any applicable notice and cure period, relating to, or other breach or violation of, this Guaranty and/or Guaranteed Obligation and, to the extent the Lender from time to time deem it necessary to employ counsel and/or consultants for any purpose relating to this Guaranty and/or any Guaranteed Obligation, the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel and/or consultants). For purposes of this paragraph, the term “counsel” includes attorneys who are employees of Lender acting as counsel for Lender, and the terms “costs and expenses” and “fees and expenses” shall include, without limitation, the fees charged by Lender for its in-house counsel provided such fees are within the range of fees charged by attorneys of similar experience at medium to large sized law firms located in the City of Chicago, Illinois.

(f) Maximum Amount of Guaranty. Guarantor shall be liable under this Guaranty for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering this Guaranty, as it relates to Guarantor, voidable under applicable Legal Requirements relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount.

(g) Continuing Guaranty. This is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and performance. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor and after Guarantor’s dissolution (in which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor’s successors and assigns). It is the intent of Guarantor that the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and that until the Guaranteed Obligations are fully, finally and indefeasibly satisfied, such obligations and liabilities shall not be discharged or released in whole or in part, by any act or occurrence which might, but for the provisions of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge or release of Guarantor. Each and every default, beyond any applicable notice and cure period, in payment of any amounts due or performance of any obligation required under this Guaranty shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder, and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises, or, in the discretion of Lender, may be brought as a consolidated suit or suits.

2. Waivers.

(a) Guarantor hereby assents to all terms and agreements heretofore or hereafter made by Borrower with the Lender, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, waives notice of:

(i) Any loans or advances made by the Lender to Borrower under the Loan Documents;

 

- 4 -


(ii) The present existence or future incurring of any of the indebtedness pursuant to the Note or any future modifications thereof or any terms or amounts thereof or any Guaranteed Obligations or any terms or amounts thereof;

(iii) The obtaining or release of any guaranty or surety agreement (in addition to this Guaranty), pledge, assignment, or other security for any of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, or any Guaranteed Obligations; and

(iv) Notice of protest, default, notice of intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration in relation to any instrument relating to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations.

(b) Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any rights and defenses which such Guarantor might have as a result of any representation, warranty or statement made by the Lender or its agents to such Guarantor in order to induce Guarantor to execute this Guaranty.

(c) Regardless of whether Guarantor may have made any payments to the Lender, until the Loan is indefeasibly paid in full and except as set forth in Section 10 hereof, Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) all rights of subrogation, indemnification, contribution and any other rights to collect reimbursement from Borrower or any other party for any sums paid to the Lender, whether contractual or arising by operation of law (including the United States Bankruptcy Code or any successor or similar statute) or otherwise, (ii) all rights to enforce any remedy that the Lender may have against Borrower, and (iii) all rights to participate in any security now or later to be held by the Lender for the Loan.

(d) Guarantor further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any defense to the recovery by the Lender against Guarantor of any deficiency or otherwise to the enforcement of this Guaranty or any security for this Guaranty based upon Creditor’s election of any remedy against Guarantor or Borrower, including the defense to enforcement of this Guaranty by virtue of any “anti-deficiency” statutes and their application following a non- judicial foreclosure sale.

3. Events and Circumstances Not Reducing or Discharging Guarantor’s Obligations. Guarantor hereby consents and agrees to each of the following, and agrees that Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or adversely affected by any of the following, and waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any rights and defenses (excluding the rights to notice, if any, as herein provided or as required by law) which Guarantor might have otherwise as a result of or in connection with any of the following:

(a) any and all extensions, modifications, adjustments, indulgences, forbearances or compromises that might be granted or given by the Lender to Borrower, including, without limitation, any and all amendments, modifications, supplements, extensions or restatements of any of the Loan Documents;

 

- 5 -


(b) the insolvency, bankruptcy, rearrangement, adjustment, composition, liquidation, disability, dissolution or lack of power of Borrower or any other party at any time liable for the payment of all or part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations; or any dissolution, consolidation or merger of Borrower or Guarantor, or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of Borrower or Guarantor, or any changes in the ownership, partners or members of Borrower or Guarantor;

(c) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations, or any document or agreement executed in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, the fact that the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, or any part thereof exceeds the amount permitted by law, the act of creating the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof is ultra vires, the representatives executing the Note or the other Loan Documents or otherwise creating the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations acted in excess of their authority, the indebtedness evidenced by the Note violates applicable usury laws, Borrower has valid defenses, claims or offsets (whether at law, in equity or by agreement) which render the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations wholly or partially uncollectible from Borrower, the creation, performance or repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations is illegal, uncollectible, legally impossible or unenforceable, or any of the other Loan Documents pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations are irregular or not genuine or authentic; provided, however, the foregoing shall not prohibit Guarantor from (i) asserting a defense of performance, (ii) asserting a compulsory counterclaim on an action brought under this Guaranty, or (iii) subject to the remaining terms of the Loan Documents, bringing a separate action against Lender for breaches of Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents;

(d) the taking or accepting of any other security, collateral or guaranty, or other assurance of the payment, for all or any of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations;

(e) any release, surrender or exchange of any collateral, property or security, at any time existing in connection with, or assuring or securing payment of, all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or the Guaranteed Obligations;

(f) the failure of the Lender or any other party to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the preservation, protection, enforcement, sale or other handling or treatment of all or any part of such collateral, property or security;

(g) the fact that any collateral, security, security interest or lien contemplated or intended to be given, created or granted as security for the repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or Guaranteed Obligations shall not be properly perfected or created, or shall prove to be unenforceable or subordinate to any other security interest or lien, it being recognized and agreed by Guarantor that Guarantor is not entering into this Guaranty in reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits of, the validity, enforceability, collectibility or value of

 

- 6 -


any of the collateral for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(h) any payment by Borrower to the Lender is held to constitute a preference under the Bankruptcy Code, or for any reason the Lender is required to refund such payment or pay such amounts to such Borrower, or any other Person.

It is the unambiguous and unequivocal intention of Guarantor that Guarantor shall be obligated to pay and perform the Guaranteed Obligations when due, notwithstanding any occurrence, circumstance, event, action or omission whatsoever, whether contemplated or uncontemplated, and whether or not otherwise or particularly described herein, except for the full and final payment and satisfaction of all Guaranteed Obligations.

4. Payment by Guarantor. If the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, are not punctually paid or performed (following the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods), as the case may be, Guarantor shall, immediately within ten (10) days of demand and without protest or notice of protest, pay the amount due thereon to the Lender, at its address set forth above or as otherwise designated by the Lender. Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment or performance of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations. Such demand shall be deemed made if given in accordance with Section 18 hereof. It shall not be necessary for the Lender, in order to enforce such payment or performance by Guarantor, first to institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower, or others liable to pay or perform such Guaranteed Obligations, or to enforce its rights against any security which shall ever have been given to secure the Guaranteed Obligations. The Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or Guaranteed Obligations.

5. Indebtedness or Other Obligations of Guarantor. If Guarantor is or becomes liable for any indebtedness owed by Borrower to the Lender by endorsement or otherwise than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected by this Guaranty, and the rights of the Lender hereunder shall be cumulative of any and all other rights that Lender may ever have against Guarantor. The exercise by the Lender of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other instrument or at law or in equity shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other instrument or remedy at law or in equity and shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy. Further, without in any way diminishing or limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is specifically understood and agreed that this Guaranty is given by Guarantor as an additional guaranty to any and all guarantees hereafter executed and delivered to the Lender by Guarantor in favor of the Lender relating to the indebtedness and obligations of Borrower to the Lender, and nothing herein shall ever be deemed to replace or be in lieu of any other of such previous or subsequent guarantees.

6. Application of Payments. If, at any time, there is any indebtedness or obligations (or any portion thereof) of Borrower to the Lender which is not guaranteed by Guarantor, the Lender, without in any manner impairing its rights hereunder, may, at its option, apply all amounts realized by the Lender from collateral or security held by the Lender first to the payment of such unguaranteed indebtedness or obligations, with the remaining amounts, if any, to then be applied to the payment of the indebtedness or obligations guaranteed by Guarantor.

 

- 7 -


7. Suits, Releases of Settlements with Others. Guarantor agrees that the Lender, in its sole discretion, may bring suit against any other guarantor without impairing the rights of the Lender or its successors and assigns against Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; and the Lender may settle or compromise with such other guarantor for such sum or sums as the Lender may see fit and release such other guarantor from all further liability to the Lender, all without impairing its rights against Guarantor.

8. Warranties, Representations and Covenants.

(a) Guarantor warrants and represents, as follows:

(i) Guarantor has received, or will receive, direct or indirect benefit from the making of this Guaranty, the making of the Loan and the entering into and execution of the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents in connection therewith;

(ii) Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed the financial condition of the Borrower and is familiar with the value of any and all collateral intended to be created as security for the payment and performance of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and the Guaranteed Obligations, and Guarantor assumes full responsibility for keeping fully informed as to such matters in the future; however, Guarantor is not relying on such financial condition or the collateral as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty; and

(iii) All financial statements concerning Guarantor which have been or will hereafter be furnished by Guarantor or Borrower to the Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, have been or will be prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied (except as disclosed therein, to the extent the Lender approves such disclosure; provided that the Lender’s approval shall not be required so long as (a) Guarantor is a reporting company under the Exchange Act, and (b) Guarantor’s financial statements are audited by a so-called “Big-4” accounting firm) and, in all material respects, present fairly the financial condition of the Persons covered thereby as at the dates thereof and the results of their operations for the periods then ended.

(iv) No ERISA Affiliate of Guarantor maintains or contributes to, or has any obligation under, any Employee Benefit Plans. Guarantor is not an “employee benefit plan” (within the meaning of section 3(3) of ERISA) to which ERISA applies and Guarantor’s assets do not constitute plan assets. No actions, suits or claims under any laws and regulations promulgated pursuant to ERISA are pending or, to Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened against Guarantor. Guarantor has no knowledge of any material liability incurred by Guarantor which remains unsatisfied for any taxes or penalties with respect to any employee benefit plan or any Multiemployer Plan, or of any lien which has been imposed on Guarantor’s assets pursuant to section 412 of the Code or sections 302 or 4068 of ERISA. The Loan, the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty do not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code. Guarantor is an “operating company” as defined in ERISA.

 

- 8 -


(v) As of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent obligations evidenced hereby, Guarantor is and expects to be solvent at all times, and has and expects to have assets at all times which, fairly valued, exceed his or its obligations, liabilities and debts, and has and expects to have property and assets at all times sufficient to satisfy and repay its obligations and liabilities.

(b) Guarantor covenants and agrees that, for so long as this Guaranty remains in effect, Guarantor shall not liquidate, wind-up or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution).

9. Subordination. If, for any reason Borrower is now or hereafter becomes indebted to Guarantor (such indebtedness and all interest thereon being referred to as the “Affiliated Debt”), such Affiliated Debt shall, at all times, be subordinate in all respects to the full payment and performance of the obligations evidenced by the Note, and Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment thereof until all of the obligations evidenced by the Note have been fully paid. Guarantor agrees that any liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Affiliated Debt shall be and remain subordinate and inferior to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charge or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing the payment of the obligations evidenced by the Note and Guaranteed Obligations, and without the prior written consent of the Lender, Guarantor shall not exercise or enforce any creditor’s rights of any nature against Borrower to collect the Affiliated Debt (other than demand payment therefor). In the event of the receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief or other insolvency proceedings involving Borrower as a debtor, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Lender shall have the right and authority, either in its own name or as attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, to file such proof of debt claim, petition or other documents and to take such other steps as are necessary to prove its rights hereunder.

10. Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, until the Loan is indefeasibly paid in full, Guarantor hereby waives any claim or other rights which Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against Borrower or any other guarantor of all or any of the obligations that arise from the existence or performance of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty (all such claims and rights are referred to as “Guarantor’s Conditional Rights”), including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Lender against Borrower or any security or collateral which the Lender now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute (including the Bankruptcy Code or any successor or similar statute) or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including without limitation, the right to take or receive from Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of Guarantor’s Conditional Rights and either (i) such amount is paid to Guarantor at any time when the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid or performed in full, or (ii) regardless of when such amount is paid to Guarantor, any payment made by Borrower to the Lender is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid by the Lender or paid over to a trustee, receiver or any other entity, whether under any

 

- 9 -


bankruptcy act or otherwise (such payment, a “Preferential Payment”), then such amount paid to Guarantor shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender and shall forthwith be paid to the Lender to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine. The foregoing waivers shall be effective until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in full.

11. Impairment of Subrogation Rights; Waivers of Rights Under the Anti-Deficiency Rules.

(a) Guarantor agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Loan Documents, the Lender in its sole discretion, without prior notice to or consent of Guarantor, may elect to (i) foreclose either nonjudicially or judicially against any real or personal property security (including, without limitation, the Mortgaged Property) it holds for the obligations evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, (ii) accept any transfer or assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, (iii) compromise or adjust any part of such obligations, or (iv) make any other accommodation with Borrower or Guarantor, or exercise any other remedy against Borrower or any collateral or security. No such action by the Lender will release or limit the liability of Guarantor to the Lender, who shall remain liable under this Guaranty after the action, even if the effect of that action is to deprive Guarantor of the right to collect reimbursement from Borrower or any other person for any sums paid to the Lender or Guarantor’s rights of subrogation, contribution, or indemnity against Borrower or any other person. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that on any foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure of any collateral or security held by the Lender, such security will no longer exist and that any right that Guarantor might otherwise have, on full payment of the Guaranteed Obligations by Guarantor to the Lender, to participate in any such security or to be subrogated to any rights of the Lender with respect to any such security will be nonexistent; nor shall Guarantor be deemed to have any right, title, interest or claim under any circumstances in or to any real or personal property held by the Lender or any third party following any foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure of any such security.

(b) Guarantor understands and acknowledges that if the Lender forecloses judicially or nonjudicially against any real property security for Borrower’s obligations, such foreclosure could impair or destroy any right or ability that Guarantor may have to seek reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification for any amounts paid by Guarantor under this Guaranty.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, may adversely affect Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against Borrower.

(d) Guarantor intentionally, freely, irrevocably and unconditionally waives and relinquishes, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all rights which may be available to it under any provision of applicable law to limit the amount of any deficiency

 

- 10 -


judgment or other judgment which may be obtained against Guarantor under this Guaranty to not more than the amount by which the unpaid Guaranteed Obligations plus all other indebtedness due from Borrower under the Loan Documents exceeds the fair market value or fair value of any real or personal property securing said obligations and any other indebtedness due from Borrower under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all rights to an appraisement of, judicial or other hearing on, or other determination of the value of said property. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the foregoing waiver, the Lender may be entitled to recover from Guarantor an amount which, when combined with the value of any real or personal property foreclosed upon by the Lender (or the proceeds of the sale of which have been received by the Lender) and any sums collected by the Lender from Borrower or other Persons, might exceed the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations plus all other indebtedness due from Borrower under the Loan Documents.

(e) Guarantor understands and agrees that the Lender may have the ability to pursue Guarantor for a judgment on the Guaranteed Obligations without having first foreclosed on the real property security for such Guaranteed Obligations, that the Lender may have the ability to sue Guarantor for a deficiency judgment on the Guaranteed Obligations after a non-judicial foreclosure sale or, regardless of any election of remedies by the Lender, if the Guaranteed Obligations or any of the other indebtedness of Borrower to the Lender under the Loan Documents is considered to have been provided by a vendor to a buyer and to evidence part of the purchase price for the real property security, and that the Lender may be able to recover from Borrower an amount which, when combined with the fair market value of the property acquired by the Lender in a foreclosure sale or the proceeds of the foreclosure sale received by the Lender, might exceed the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations due and owing by Guarantor and the amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

(f) Without limiting any of the other waivers and provisions set forth in this Guaranty, Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that Guarantor may have because Borrower’s debt is secured by real property; this means, among other things: (a) the Lender may collect from Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower; (b) the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; (c) the Lender may collect from Guarantor even if the Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Guarantor may have to collect from Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have because the indebtedness evidenced by the Note is secured by real property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provisions of Section 11(a) hereof, nothing contained in this Guaranty shall in any way be deemed to imply that any other state’s law other than the law of the State of New York shall govern this Guaranty or any of the Loan Documents in any respect, except as expressly set forth therein, including with respect to the exercise of the Lender’s remedies under the Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, upon the indefeasible payment in full of the Note, Guarantor shall have all rights of subrogation available at law or in equity.

 

- 11 -


12. Benefit.

2.2 Condition of Grant. Provided always, that if Mortgagor shall irrevocably, unconditionally and indefeasibly pay or cause to be paid the entire Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable and shall observe, perform and discharge the Obligations, then the Loan Documents and the estate and rights granted by Mortgagor shall cease, terminate and become void, and shall be promptly released or reconveyed by Mortgagee in proper form for recording, at the sole cost and expense of Mortgagor.

2.3 Maximum Amount of Indebtedness.

Mortgagor represents and warrants that, except for the Permitted Encumbrances and any financing statement filed by Mortgagee, no presently effective financing statement covering the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof has been filed with any filing officer, and no other presently effective security interest has attached or has been perfected in the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Assignment shall not be deemed or construed to constitute Mortgagee as a mortgagee in possession nor obligate Mortgagee to take any action or to incur expense or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability. Exercise of any rights under this Section 4.1 and the application of the Rents to the Obligations shall not cure or waive any Event of Default but shall be cumulative of all other rights and remedies of Mortgagee.

4.2 Assignment of Contracts. All of Mortgagor’s right, title and interest in and to the Contracts, to the extent assignable under applicable law, are hereby absolutely and irrevocably assigned to Mortgagee to be applied against the Obligations. Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with the right, at Mortgagee’s option at any time, to demand, receive and enforce performance and payment of, to give receipts, releases and satisfactions for, and to sue, either in Mortgagor’s or Mortgagee’s name, for all amounts due under and performance required by the Contracts during the continuance of an Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing Assignment of Contracts, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, Mortgagor may collect, receive, take, use and enjoy all rights under the Contracts, as they become due and payable but no more than one month in advance thereof and Mortgagor may exercise all other rights set forth in the Contracts (subject to any express restrictions set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents). The foregoing assignment shall be fully operative without any further action on the part of either party. Mortgagor shall from time-to-time within fifteen (15) days after request by Mortgagee, execute, acknowledge and deliver any additional instruments Mortgagee may reasonably request to further evidence the assignment and transfer to Mortgagee of Mortgagor’s interest in any Contracts.

4.3 Effect of Assignments. This instrument constitutes an absolute and present assignment of the Rents; subject, however, to the conditional permission given to Mortgagor to collect, receive, take, use and enjoy the same as provided above; provided, further, that the existence or exercise of such right of Mortgagor shall not operate to subordinate this assignment to any subsequent assignment by Mortgagor, in whole or in part, and any such subsequent assignment by Mortgagor shall be subject to the rights of Mortgagee hereunder.

4.4 No Merger of Leasehold Estates. If both the lessor’s and lessee’s estate under any Lease, or any portion thereof, becomes vested at any time in one owner, this Mortgage and the Lien created hereby shall not be adversely affected by the application of the doctrine of merger unless Mortgagee so elects in writing by recording a written declaration so stating. Unless and until Mortgagee so elects, Mortgagee and any lessor and lessee shall continue to have and enjoy all of the rights and privileges to the separate estates. In addition, upon the foreclosure of the Lien created by this Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property, any Leases then existing and affecting all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property shall not be destroyed or terminated by merger or by the foreclosure unless, subject to the terms of the Leases and subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements to which Mortgagee is a party, Mortgagee or any purchaser at the sale so elects. No act by or on behalf of Mortgagee or such purchaser shall constitute a termination of any Lease unless Mortgagee gives written notice thereof to the tenant or subtenant affected.

(a) Acceleration. Declare the unpaid portion of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, without further notice or demand (each of which hereby is expressly waived by Mortgagor), whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable. Upon the occurrence of the Events of Default specified in Sections 9.1(E) and 9.1(F) of the Loan Agreement, the unpaid portion of the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable without notice or demand (each of which is hereby expressly waived by Mortgagor).

(b) Entry Upon Mortgaged Property. Enter upon the Mortgaged Property and take possession thereof and of all books, records and accounts relating thereto.

(c) Operation of Mortgaged Property. Hold, lease, operate or otherwise use or permit the use of the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, in such manner, for such time and upon such terms as Mortgagee may deem to be in its best interest (making such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements thereto, from time to time, as Mortgagee shall deem necessary or desirable) and collect and retain all earnings, rents, profits or other amounts payable in connection therewith.

(d) Judicial Proceedings. (1) foreclose this Mortgage judicially or nonjudicially; (2) exercise its power of sale; (3) exercise its STATUTORY POWER OF SALE; or (4) sue on the Loan Documents according to law.

(e) Mortgagee’s Sale of Mortgaged Property. The procedure for exercise of the Mortgagee’s power of sale shall be as follows:

(1) Mortgagee shall give notice of its election to cause the Mortgaged Property to be sold to satisfy the Obligations in accordance with applicable law.

(2) Notice of sale having been given as then required by law and not less than the time then required by law having elapsed after the giving of any such required notice, Mortgagee, without demand on Mortgagor, shall sell the Mortgaged Property at the time and place of sale specified in the notice, as provided by statute, either as a whole or in separate parcels and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest and best bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale. Mortgagor agrees that such a sale (or sheriff’s sale pursuant to judicial foreclosure) of all the Mortgaged Property as real estate constitutes a commercially reasonable disposition thereof, but that with respect to all of any part of the Mortgaged Property which may be personal property, Mortgagee shall have and exercise, at Mortgagee’s sole election, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Whenever notice is permitted or required hereunder or under the UCC, ten (10) days prior notice shall constitute commercially reasonable notice. Mortgagee may postpone the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale, as provided by statute. Mortgagee shall deliver to the purchaser its deed and bill of sale conveying

 

11


the Mortgaged Property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recital in such deed and bill of sale of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Mortgagor or Mortgagee, may purchase at such sale.

(3) After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Mortgagee, and of this trust, including the cost of evidence of title search and reasonable counsel fees in connection with sale, Mortgagee shall apply the proceeds of sale in accordance with Section 7.7 hereof.

(f) Receiver. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagee shall be entitled, as a matter of strict right, without notice, and without regard to the value or occupancy of the security, or the solvency of the Mortgagor, or the adequacy of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Obligations, to itself enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property, collect the Rents and profits therefrom and apply the same as the court may direct, or, at its option, Mortgagee may have a receiver appointed to do the same, such receiver to have all the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located, along with the powers of Mortgagor under Section 7.1(c) above and Section 7.1(1) below. Mortgagor hereby waives any requirements on the receiver or Mortgagee to post any surety or other bond. Mortgagee or the receiver may also take possession of, and for these purposes use, any and all Fixtures and Personalty which is a part of the Mortgaged Property and used by Mortgagor in the rental or leasing thereof, or any part thereof. The expense, (including reasonable receiver’s fees, counsel fees, costs and agent’s compensation) incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be secured by this Mortgage. Mortgagee shall (after payment of all costs and expenses incurred) apply such Rents, issues and profits received by it on the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 7.7 hereof. The right to enter and take possession of the Mortgaged Property, to manage and operate the same, and to collect the Rents, issues and profits thereof, whether by receiver or otherwise, shall be cumulative to any other right or remedy hereunder or afforded by law, and may be exercised concurrently therewith or independently thereof. Mortgagee shall be liable to account only for such Rents, issues and profits actually received by Mortgagee.

(g) Additional Rights and Remedies. With or without notice, and without releasing Mortgagor from the Obligations, and without becoming a mortgagee in possession, Mortgagee shall have the right to cure any breach or default of Mortgagor and, in connection therewith, to enter upon the Mortgaged Property and to do such acts and things as Mortgagee reasonably deems necessary or desirable to protect the security hereof including, but without limitation, to appear in and defend any action or proceedings purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Mortgagee hereunder; to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge, Lien or claim of Lien which, in the reasonable judgment of Mortgagee, is prior or superior hereto, the reasonable judgment of Mortgagee being conclusive as between the parties hereto to obtain insurance; to pay any premiums or charges with respect to insurance required to be carried hereunder, and to employ counsel, accountants, contractors and other appropriate persons to assist them.

(h) Mortgagee as Purchaser. Mortgagee shall have the right to become the purchaser at any sale held by the Mortgagee or by any court, receiver or public officer, and Mortgagee shall have the right to credit upon the amount of the bid made therefor, the amount of indebtedness payable to it out of the net proceeds of such sale. Mortgagee upon any such

 

12


purchase, shall acquire good title to the Mortgaged Property so purchased, free from the Lien of this Mortgage and free of all rights of redemption, if any, in Mortgagor. Recitals contained in any conveyance made to any purchaser at any sale made hereunder shall presumptively establish the truth and accuracy of the matters therein stated, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nonpayment of the unpaid principal sum of, and the interest accrued on, the Note after the same have become due and payable and advertisement and conduct of such sale in the manner provided herein; and Mortgagor does hereby ratify and confirm any and all acts that said Mortgagee or its successors may lawfully do in the premises by virtue of the terms and conditions of this instrument.

Upon any sale, whether made under the power of sale herein granted and conferred or by virtue of judicial proceedings, the receipt of the Mortgagee, or of the officer making sale under judicial proceedings shall be sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale for his or their purchase money, and such purchaser or purchasers, his or their assigns or personal representatives, shall not, after paying such purchase money and receiving such receipt of the Mortgagee or of such officer therefor, be obliged to see to the application of such purchase money, or be in anywise answerable for any loss, misapplication or nonapplication thereof.

(j) Effect of Sale. Any sale or sales of the Mortgaged Property, whether under the STATUTORY POWER OF SALE or the power of sale herein granted and conferred or by virtue of judicial proceedings conducted in accordance with applicable law, shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim, and demand whatsoever either at law or in equity, of Mortgagor of in, and to the premises and the Mortgaged Property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against Mortgagor, Mortgagor’s successors, and against any and all persons claiming or who shall thereafter claim all or any of the Mortgaged Property sold from, through or under Mortgagor, or Mortgagor’s successors or assigns; nevertheless, Mortgagor, if requested by the Mortgagee so to do, shall join in the execution and delivery of all proper conveyances, assignments and transfers of the properties so sold.

(k) Remedies Under UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagee may exercise its rights of enforcement, without a breach of the peace, with respect to the UCC Collateral under the applicable provisions of the UCC and/or under other applicable law, and in conjunction with, in addition to or in substitution for those rights and remedies:

(1) Mortgagee may enter upon Mortgagor’s premises to take possession of, assemble and collect the UCC Collateral and any and all books and records related to the Mortgaged Property; and

(2) Mortgagee may require Mortgagor to assemble the UCC Collateral and make same available at a place Mortgagee designates which is mutually convenient to allow Mortgagee to take possession or dispose of the UCC Collateral; and

(3) Written notice mailed to Mortgagor as provided herein at least ten (10) days prior to the date of public sale of the UCC Collateral or prior to the date after which private sale of the UCC Collateral shall be made shall constitute reasonable notice; and

 

13

(5) In the event of a foreclosure sale, whether made by the Mortgagee under the terms hereof, or under judgment of a court, the Mortgaged Property may, at the option of Mortgagee, be sold as a whole; and

(6) It shall not be necessary that Mortgagee take possession of the UCC Collateral prior to the time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this section is conducted and it shall not be necessary that the UCC Collateral be present at the location of such sale; and

(7) Prior to application of proceeds of disposition of the UCC Collateral to the Obligations, such proceeds shall be applied to the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing and the like and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Mortgagee; and

(8) Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any bill of sale or assignment or other instrument evidencing any foreclosure sale hereunder as to nonpayment of the Obligations or as to the occurrence of any Event of Default, or to Mortgagee have declared all of such Obligations to be due and payable, or as to notice of time, place and terms of sale and of the Mortgaged Property to be sold having been duly done by Mortgagee, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited; and

(9) Mortgagee may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Mortgagee, including the sending of notices and the conduct of the sale but in the name and on behalf of Mortgagee.

(1) Entry on and Operation of Property by Mortgagee. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and in addition to all other rights herein conferred on the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee (or any person, firm or corporation designated by the Mortgagee) shall have the right and power, but shall not be obligated to enter upon and take possession of any of the Mortgaged Property, and of all books, records, and accounts relating thereto and to exclude Mortgagor, and Mortgagor’s agents or servants, wholly therefrom, and to hold, lease, operate, use, administer, manage, and operate the same to the extent that Mortgagor shall be at the time entitled and in his place and stead for such time, and upon such terms as Mortgagee may deem to be in its best interest (making such repairs, alterations, additions, and improvements thereto, from time to time, as Mortgagee shall deem necessary or desirable) and collect and retain all earnings, rents, profits, or other amounts payable in connection therewith. The Mortgagee, or any person, firm or corporation designated by the Mortgagee may operate the same without any liability to Mortgagor in connection with such operations, except to use ordinary care in the operation of said properties, and the Mortgagee or any person, firm or corporation designated by them, shall have the right to collect, receive and receipt for all Rents from the Mortgaged Property, to make repairs, purchase machinery and equipment, and to exercise every power, right and privilege of Mortgagor with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

 

14


All costs, expenses and liabilities of every character incurred by the Mortgagee in managing, operating, maintaining, protecting or preserving the Mortgaged Property, respectively, shall constitute a demand obligation owing by Mortgagor to Mortgagee and shall bear interest from date of expenditure until paid at the same rate as is provided in the Note for interest on past due principal, all of which shall constitute a portion of the Obligations and shall be secured by this Mortgage and by any other instrument securing the Obligations. If necessary to obtain the possession provided for above, the Mortgagee, as the case may be, may invoke any and all remedies to dispossess Mortgagor including specifically one or more actions for forcible entry and detainer, trespass to try title and restitution. When and if the expenses of such operation have been paid and the Obligations paid, the Mortgaged Property shall, if there has been no sale or foreclosure, be returned to Mortgagor.

(m) Change in Laws. If any statute now applicable in any state in which any of the Mortgaged Property is now located provides, or shall hereafter be amended to provide, a different procedure for the sale of real property under a power of sale in a deed of trust or mortgage, Mortgagee may, in its sole discretion, if same be permitted by applicable law, follow the sale procedure set forth in this Article 7 or that prescribed in such statute, as amended.

(n) Sale. Cause the Mortgaged Property and all estate, right, title and interest, claim and demand therein, or any part thereof to be sold as follows:

(1) Mortgagee may proceed as if all of the Mortgaged Property were real property, in accordance with Section 7.1(e) above, or Mortgagee may elect to treat any of the Mortgaged Property which consists of a right in action or which is property that can be severed from the premises without causing structural damage thereto as if the same were personal property, and dispose of the same in accordance with subparagraph (3) below, separate and apart from the sale of real property, with the remainder of the Mortgaged Property being treated as real property at the sale.

(2) Mortgagee may cause any such sale or other disposition to be conducted immediately following the expiration of any grace period, if any, herein provided (or required by law) or Mortgagee may delay any such sale or other disposition for such period of time as Mortgagee deems to be in its best interest. Should Mortgagee desire that more than one sale or other disposition be conducted, Mortgagee may, at its option, cause the same to be conducted simultaneously, or successively on the same day, or at such different days or times and in such order as Mortgagee may deem to be in its best interest.

(3) Should Mortgagee elect to cause any of the Mortgaged Property to be disposed of as personal property, it may dispose of any part thereof in any manner now or hereafter permitted by Article 9 of the UCC or in accordance with any other remedy provided by law. Both Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be eligible to purchase any part of all of such property at any such disposition. Any such disposition may be either public or private as Mortgagee may so elect, subject to the provisions of the UCC, Mortgagee shall give Mortgagor at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or other disposition of such property or of the time at or after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made, and if such notice is sent to Mortgagor it shall constitute reasonable notice to Mortgagor.

 

15


(o) Other. Exercise any other remedy specifically granted under the Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing in equity, at law, by virtue of statute or otherwise, including the rights described below.

7.2 Separate Sales. Any real estate or any interest or estate therein sold pursuant to any writ of execution issued on a judgment obtained by virtue of this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, or pursuant to any other judicial proceedings under this Mortgage, or pursuant to the power of sale granted herein, may be sold in one parcel, as an entirety or in such parcels and in such manner or order as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may elect.

7.3 Remedies Cumulative and Concurrent. The rights and remedies of Mortgagee as provided in this Mortgage and in the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued separately, successively or together against Mortgagor or against other obligors or against the Mortgaged Property, or any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Mortgagee, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise. The failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof, nor shall the choice of one remedy be deemed an election of remedies to the exclusion of other remedies.

7.4 No Cure or Waiver. Neither Mortgagee’s nor any receiver’s entry upon and taking possession of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property nor any collection of rents, issues, profits, insurance proceeds, condemnation proceeds or damages, other security or proceeds of other security, or other sums, nor the application of any collected sum to any Obligations, nor the exercise of any other right or remedy by Mortgagee or any receiver shall impair the status of the security, or cure or waive any default or notice of default under this Mortgage, or nullify the effect of any notice of default or sale (unless all Obligations which are then due have been paid and performed and Mortgagor has cured all other defaults), or prejudice Mortgagee in the exercise of any right or remedy, or be construed as an affirmation by Mortgagee of any tenancy, lease or option or a subordination of the Lien of this Mortgage.

7.5 Payment of Costs, Expenses and Attorneys’ Fees. Mortgagor agrees to pay to Mortgagee immediately and without demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in accordance with Section 11.1 of the Loan Agreement.

7.6 Waiver of Redemption, Notice, Marshalling, Etc.

16

(a) first, to the payment of late charges, if any, owing under the Loan Documents;

(b) second, to the payment of the actual out of pocket costs and expenses of taking possession of the Mortgaged Property and of holding, using, leasing, repairing, improving and selling the same (including without limitation payment of any impositions or other taxes);

(d) fourth, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations; and

(e) fifth, to the payment of the balance of the Obligations. The balance, if any, shall be paid to the parties entitled to receive it under applicable law.

7.8 Strict Performance. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon strict performance by Mortgagor of any of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms or provisions of the Loan Documents and Mortgagee shall have the right thereafter to insist upon strict performance by Mortgagor of any and all of them.

7.9 No Conditions Precedent to Exercise of Remedies. Neither Mortgagor nor any other person now or hereafter obligated for payment of all or any part of the Obligations shall be relieved of such obligation by reason of the failure of Mortgagee to comply with any request of Mortgagor or of any other person so obligated to take action to foreclose on this Mortgage or otherwise enforce any provisions of the Loan Documents, or by reason of the release, regardless of consideration, of all or any part of the security held for the indebtedness, or by reason of any agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner of the Mortgaged Property and Mortgagee extending the time of payment or modifying the terms of the Loan Documents without first having obtained the consent of Mortgagor or such other person, and in the latter event Mortgagor and all such other persons shall continue to be liable to make payment according to the terms of any such extension or modification agreement, unless expressly released and discharged in writing by Mortgagee.

7.10 Release of Collateral. Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration, any part of the security held for the Obligations without, as to the remainder of the security, in any way impairing or affecting the Liens of the Loan Documents or their priority over any subordinate Lien. Without affecting the liability of Mortgagor or any other person (except any person expressly released in writing) for payment of any Obligations secured hereby or for performance of any Obligations contained herein, and without affecting the rights of Mortgagee with respect to any security not expressly released in writing, Mortgagee may, at any time and from time to time, either before or after maturity of said Note, and without notice or consent: (a) release any person liable for payment of all or any part of, or for performance of, any Obligations; (b) make any

 

17


agreement extending the time or otherwise altering terms of payment of all or any part of, or modifying or waiving any of, the Obligations, or subordinating, modifying or otherwise dealing with the Lien or charge hereof; (c) exercise or refrain from exercising or waive any right Mortgagee may have; (d) accept additional security of any kind; or (e) release or otherwise deal with any property, real or personal, securing the Obligations, including all or any part of the Mortgaged Property.

7.11 Other Collateral. For payment of the Obligations, Mortgagee may resort to any other security therefor held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee may elect.

7.12 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In the event Mortgagee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under the Loan Documents and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then in every such case, Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and the rights, remedies and powers of Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken.

7.13 Release of Liability. Without affecting the liability of any person (other than any person released pursuant to the provisions of this Section) for payment of any of the Obligations secured hereby, and without affecting or impairing in any way the priority or extent of the Liens of the Loan Documents upon any property not specifically released pursuant hereto, Mortgagee may at any time and from time to time (a) release any person liable for payment of any of the Obligations secured hereby, (b) extend the time or agree to alter the terms of payment of any of the Obligations, (c) accept additional security of any kind, (d) release any property securing the Obligations, or (e) consent to the creation of any easement on or over the Mortgaged Property or any covenants restricting the use or occupancy thereof.

7.14 Retention of Copies of Books and Records. Without limiting any of Mortgagee’s rights and remedies at law or in equity, including under this Mortgage, in the event Mortgagee elects to foreclose or otherwise realize upon its security interest in the General Intangibles, nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit Mortgagor from retaining copies of its books and records (including computer-readable copies thereof), provided that the originals thereof are delivered to Mortgagee or the purchaser of such General Intangibles at a foreclosure sale, as applicable.

ARTICLE 8

MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Further Assurances. Mortgagor, upon the reasonable written request of Mortgagee, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, at no liability or out-of-pocket cost to Mortgagor, or, with respect to persons or entities within Mortgagor’s control, arrange for the execution, acknowledgment and delivery of, such further reasonable instruments (including, without limitation, financing statements, estoppel certificates and declarations of no set-off, attornment agreements and acknowledgments) and do such further acts, as may be reasonably necessary, desirable or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of the Loan Documents, to facilitate (at no cost or expense to Mortgagor) the assignment or transfer of the Note and the Loan Documents and to subject to the Liens of the Loan Documents any property intended by the terms thereof to be covered thereby, and any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements or

 

18


betterments thereto. Mortgagor shall execute and deliver such instruments, certificates and other documents on or before ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written request therefor. Mortgagor irrevocably appoints Mortgagee the agent and attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor to do any of the foregoing, provided, however, Mortgagee will not exercise such right unless (a) Mortgagee shall have given Mortgagor at least ten (10) Business Days notice and Mortgagor shall have failed to satisfy such request or (b) an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing.

8.2 Recording and Filing. Mortgagor, at its expense, shall cause this Mortgage and any other Loan Documents designated from time to time by Mortgagee, all supplements thereto and any financing statements at all times to be recorded and filed in such manner and in such places as Mortgagee shall reasonably request, and shall pay all such recording, filing, re-recording and re-filing taxes, fees and other charges in connection with such recording and filing.

All sums so paid by Mortgagee, and all costs, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses so incurred together with, interest thereon at the Default Rate, from the date of payment or incurring, constitute additions to the Obligations secured by the Loan Documents, and shall be paid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee, within ten (10) days of demand. If Mortgagee shall elect to so pay any Imposition, Mortgagee may do so in reliance on any bill, statement or assessment procured from the appropriate public office, without inquiring into the accuracy thereof or into the validity of such Imposition. Mortgagor shall indemnify Mortgagee for all losses and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by reason of any acts performed by Mortgagee pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.4 or by reason of the Loan Documents, and any funds expended by Mortgagee to which it shall be entitled to be indemnified, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of such expenditures, shall constitute additions to the Obligations and shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall be paid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee upon demand. Mortgagor shall have no obligation to indemnify Mortgagee under the foregoing indemnity for any such loss or expense resulting from Mortgagee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event shall the indemnification contained herein include consequential or punitive damages.

8.6 Severability. In case any one or more of the Obligations shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and remaining Obligations shall be in no way affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.

8.7 Modification. The Loan Documents and the terms of each of them may not be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is asserted.

8.8 Non-Assumable. This Mortgage may not be assumed by any subsequent holder of an interest in the Mortgaged Property without Mortgagee’s prior written consent except for any transferee of the Mortgaged Property permitted under the Loan Agreement.

8.9 Tax on Obligations or Mortgage. In the event of the passage, after the date of this Mortgage, of any law deducting from the value of land for the purposes of taxation, any Lien thereon, or imposing upon Mortgagee the obligation to pay the whole, or any part, of the taxes or assessments or charges or Liens herein required to be paid by Mortgagor, or changing in any way the laws relating to the taxation of deeds of trust, mortgages or debts as to affect this Mortgage or the Obligations, Mortgagor shall pay Mortgagee any such additional amounts necessary to compensate Mortgagee, on an after-tax basis, for such additional costs in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 2.6 of the Loan Agreement.

8.10 Maximum Rate of Interest. All agreements between Mortgagor and Mortgagee, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of the Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid to Mortgagee for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money to be loaned under the Note or otherwise or for the payment or performance of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in the Note, exceed the Maximum Rate. The term “Maximum Rate” as used herein shall mean the higher of the maximum interest rate allowed by applicable United States, the state of New York or the State law as amended from time to time, in effect on the date for which a determination of interest accrued hereunder is made. If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any such other documents, at the time performance of such provisions shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by applicable usury law, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance, Mortgagee shall have ever received interest or anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law which would exceed the Maximum Rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Note or the amounts owing on other obligations of Mortgagor to Mortgagee hereunder (all without payment of any prepayment premium) and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of the principal of the Note and the amounts owing on other obligations of Mortgagor to Mortgagee hereunder as the case may be such excess shall be refunded to Mortgagor. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Mortgagee for the use, forbearance or detention of the Obligations of Mortgagor to Mortgagee shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Obligations until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest on account of such Obligations does not exceed the Maximum Rate throughout the term thereof, (ii) be characterized as a fee, expense or other charge other than interest, and/or (iii) exclude any voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof.

8.11 Survival of Warranties and Covenants.

8.14 No Representations by Mortgagee. By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Mortgagee, pursuant to the Loan Documents, including (but not limited to) any officer’s certificate, survey, appraisal or insurance policy, Mortgagee shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty or representation with respect thereto by Mortgagee.

Nothing contained in the Note, this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents shall be construed as creating a joint venture or partnership between Mortgagee and Mortgagor, and Mortgagee shall have no right of control or supervision over Mortgagor except as Mortgagee may exercise its rights and remedies under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

1. Representations And Warranties.

(a) Except as disclosed in the Environmental Reports, there are no claims, liabilities, investigations, litigation, administrative proceedings, whether pending or, to Indemnitor’s knowledge threatened in writing, or judgments or orders relating to any Hazardous Materials (collectively called Environmental Claims) asserted or threatened in writing against Borrower or to Indemnitor’s knowledge any past or present tenant, operator or owner of all or any part of the Land and the Improvements (the Land and Improvements are sometimes


collectively referred to as the “Real Estate”). Except as disclosed in the Environmental Reports, to Indemnitors’ knowledge, neither Indemnitors nor any other Person has caused or permitted any Release of any Hazardous Materials to be at, from, onto or on the Real Estate in a manner which could form the basis for an Environmental Claim.

(b) Except as disclosed in the Environmental Reports, to Indemnitors’ knowledge, (i) there has been no presence or Release of Hazardous Materials (other than Hazardous Materials used in the usual and customary course of constructing, operating and maintaining the Real Estate or any other real property covered by this paragraph in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws) at, from, onto or on the Real Estate in violation of Environmental Laws or in any manner that could have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) there has been no presence or Release of Hazardous Substances on parcels of land adjacent to the Real Estate in violation of applicable Environmental Laws or in any manner which could have a Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) no part of the Real Estate nor any part of parcels adjacent to the Real Estate, including the groundwater located thereon, is presently contaminated by Hazardous Materials in violation of applicable Environmental Laws or in any manner that could have a Material Adverse Effect.

In the event any such Person undertakes any remedial action with respect to any such Hazardous Materials, such Person shall conduct and complete such remedial action in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws.

(c) If an Event of Default exists or Lender at any time has a reasonable basis to believe that there may be a violation of any Environmental Laws by, or any liability arising thereunder of, an Indemnitor or any other Person relating to the Real Estate, then Indemnitors shall, upon request from Lender, provide Lender with such reports, certificates, engineering

All Remediation shall be performed by contractors approved in advance by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and under the supervision of a consulting engineer approved by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

In connection with any entry, examination, test or inspection of the Real Estate, Lender shall, and Lender shall cause any authorized representative of Lender and any consultant or other Person retained by Lender, to use their respective good faith and commercially reasonable efforts not to unreasonably disrupt the operations and/or maintenance of the Mortgaged Property or create or worsen any presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on the Real Estate.

4. Indemnification. Indemnitors shall indemnify, pay, defend, and hold harmless Lender and all other Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Environmental Liabilities which Lender or any other Indemnified Party may suffer, directly, as a result of or with respect to: (a) any Environmental Claim relating to or arising from the Real Estate; (b) the violation of any Environmental Laws in connection with the Real Estate; (c) any presence or Release of any Hazardous Materials affecting the Mortgaged Property; (d) the presence at, in, on or under, or the Release, at or from, the Real Estate of any Hazardous Materials, whether or not such condition was known or unknown to Indemnitors; and (e) any Remediation. If any such action or other proceeding shall be brought against Lender, upon written notice from Indemnitors to Lender (given reasonably promptly following Lender’s notice to Indemnitors of such action or proceeding), Indemnitors shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, at Indemnitors’

 

-3-


expense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender; provided, however, Lender may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense, but such participation shall not be deemed to give Lender a right to control such defense, which right Indemnitors expressly retain. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall, following notice to and consultation with Indemnitor, have the right to employ separate counsel at Indemnitors’ expense if, in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Parties and Indemnitors that would make such separate representation advisable. Indemnitors shall have no obligation to indemnify an Indemnified Party to the extent of damage or loss resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Indemnitors’ obligations under this Agreement shall not be subject to any limitations on liability provided for in any of the Loan Documents. The covenants and agreements of Indemnitors set forth in this Agreement (including without limitation the indemnity provided for herein): (a) are separate and distinct obligations from Indemnitors’ obligations with respect to the Loan and under the Loan Documents and do not constitute the substantial equivalent of such obligations, (b) shall not be discharged or satisfied by foreclosure of the Mortgage or any Lien created by any of the other Loan Documents, and (c) shall continue in effect after any transfer of the Mortgaged Property, including transfers pursuant to foreclosure proceedings (whether judicial or nonjudicial), or by any deed in lieu of foreclosure. In no event shall the indemnification contained herein include consequential or punitive damages resulting from any claims brought directly by Lender, however, such indemnification shall include consequential and punitive damages arising in claims brought by third parties.

5. Duty to Defend and Attorneys and Other Fees and Expenses.

(a) Indemnitors shall immediately upon becoming aware thereof advise Lender in writing and in reasonable detail of: (1) any Release, disposal, existence or discharge of any Hazardous Materials at the Real Estate required to be reported to any Governmental Authority under all applicable Environmental Laws, (2) any and all written communications sent or received by an Indemnitor with respect to any Environmental Claims or any Release, disposal, existence or discharge of Hazardous Materials required to be reported to any Governmental Authority or otherwise, (3) any remedial action taken by an Indemnitor or any other Person in response to any Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Real Estate (or parcels adjacent to the Real Estate), the existence of which could result in an Environmental Claim; (4) the discovery by an Indemnitor of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Real Estate that could cause such real property or any part thereof to be classified as “border-zone property” or to be otherwise subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use thereof under any Environmental Laws; (5) any request for information from any Governmental Authority that indicates such Governmental Authority is investigating whether an Indemnitor may be potentially responsible for a Release, disposal or discharge of Hazardous Materials; and (6) the Release, existence, disposal or discharge of Hazardous Materials from or onto the Real Estate which would reasonably be anticipated to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Indemnitors shall, at their own expense, provide copies of such documents or information as Lender may reasonably request in relation to any matters disclosed pursuant to this Section 5.

7. Unimpaired Liability. The liability of Indemnitors under this Agreement shall in no way be limited or impaired by, and each Indemnitor hereby consents to and agrees to be bound by, any amendment or modification of the provisions of the Loan Documents. In addition, the liability of Indemnitors under this Agreement shall in no way be limited or impaired by (i) any extensions of time for performance required by the Loan Documents, (ii) any sale or transfer of all or part of the Mortgaged Property, (iii) limitations on, or release of liability under, any of the other Loan Documents, (iv) the accuracy or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by an Indemnitor under any of the Loan Documents or herein, (v) the release of

 

-5-


an Indemnitor or any other Person from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or condition contained in any of the other Loan Documents by operation of law, Lender’s voluntary act or otherwise, (vi) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any Collateral, or (vii) Lender’s failure to record the Mortgage or file any UCC financing statements (or Lender’s improper recording or filing of any thereof) or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any security interest or lien given as security for the Loan; and, in any such case, whether with or without notice to Indemnitors and with or without consideration.

8. Enforcement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Indemnified Parties may enforce the obligations of Indemnitors without first resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral or without first having recourse to any other Loan Documents or any of the Collateral, through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise, provided, however, that nothing herein shall inhibit or prevent Lender from suing on the Note, foreclosing, or exercising any power of sale or other rights and remedies under the Loan Documents. This Agreement is not collateral or security for the Indebtedness of an Indemnitor pursuant to the Loan, unless Lender expressly elects in writing to make this Agreement additional collateral or security for the Indebtedness of an Indemnitor pursuant to the Loan, which Lender is entitled to do in its sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise provided herein, it is not necessary for an Event of Default to have occurred for Indemnified Parties to exercise their rights pursuant to this Agreement. Indemnitor is fully and personally liable for the obligations pursuant to this Agreement, and such liability is not limited to the original or amortized principal balance of the Loan or the value of the Collateral.

9. Survival. The obligations and liabilities of Indemnitors under this Agreement shall fully survive indefinitely notwithstanding any termination, satisfaction, assignment, entry of a judgment of foreclosure, exercise of any power of sale, or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the liabilities and obligations of Indemnitors hereunder shall not apply to the extent that Indemnitors can prove that such liabilities and obligations arose solely from Hazardous Materials that: (a) were not present on or a threat to the Real Estate prior to the earlier of (1) a foreclosure under the Mortgage, (2) the delivery by Borrower to, and acceptance by, Lender or its designee of, a deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Mortgaged Property, (3) Lender’s (or its designee, including any receiver) taking possession and control of the Mortgaged Property after the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (b) were the proximate result of any intentional act or gross negligence of any Indemnified Party.

10. Interest. Any amounts payable to any Indemnified Parties under this Agreement shall become immediately due and payable on demand and, if not paid within ten (10) days of such demand therefor, shall bear interest at the lesser of (a) the Default Rate or (b) the maximum interest rate which Indemnitor may by law pay or Indemnified Parties may charge and collect, from the date payment was due.

11. Waivers. (a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law Indemnitors hereby waive and relinquish (i) any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of Indemnitors’ assets or to cause Lender or other Indemnified Parties to proceed against any of the Collateral before proceeding under this Agreement against an Indemnitor; (ii) all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to indemnitors or guarantor, except any rights of

 

-6-


subrogation which Indemnitor may have, provided that the indemnity provided for hereunder shall neither be contingent upon the existence of any such rights of subrogation nor subject to any claims or defenses whatsoever which may be asserted in connection with the enforcement or attempted enforcement of such subrogation rights including, without limitation, any claim that such subrogation rights were abrogated by any acts of Lender or other Indemnified Parties; (iii) the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against or by Lender or other Indemnified Parties; (iv) notice of acceptance hereof and of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon; (v) presentment for payment, demand of payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or failure to perform or observe, or other proof, or notice or demand; and (vi) all homestead exemption rights against the obligations hereunder and the benefits of any statutes of limitations or repose. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Indemnitors hereby agree to postpone the exercise of any rights of subrogation with respect to any Collateral securing the Loan until the Loan shall have been paid in full.

12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. INDEMNITORS AND, BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, LENDER HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION AND RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. INDEMNITORS AND LENDER ALSO WAIVE ANY BOND OR SURETY OR SECURITY UPON SUCH BOND WHICH MIGHT, BUT FOR THIS WAIVER, BE REQUIRED OF INDEMNITORS OR LENDER. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. INDEMNITORS AND LENDER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. INDEMNITORS AND LENDER FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOAN. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

13. Subrogation. Indemnitors shall take any and all reasonable actions, including institution of legal action against third parties, necessary or appropriate to obtain reimbursement, payment or compensation from such persons responsible for the presence of any

14. Indemnitors’ Representations and Warranties. Each Indemnitor represents and warrants that:

(a) it has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Indemnitor has been duly and validly authorized; and all requisite action has been taken by Indemnitor to make this Agreement valid and binding upon Indemnitor, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(b) its execution of, and compliance with, this Agreement is in the ordinary course of business of Indemnitor and will not result in the breach of any term or provision of the charter, by-laws, partnership or trust agreement, or other governing instrument of Indemnitor or result in the breach of any term or provision of, or conflict with or constitute a default under, or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement, indenture or loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which Indemnitor or the Mortgaged Property is subject, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which Indemnitor or the Mortgaged Property is subject;

Indemnified Parties and their accountants and other representatives shall have the right to make copies and extracts from the foregoing records and other papers.

Lender shall be under no duty to make any environmental assessment of the Mortgaged Property, and in no event shall any such environmental assessment by Lender be or give rise to a representation that any Hazardous Materials are or are not present on the Mortgaged Property, or that there has been or shall be compliance with any Environmental Law, nor shall Indemnitors or any other person be entitled to rely on any environmental assessment made by Lender or at Lender’s request. Lender owes no duty of care to protect Indemnitors or any other person against, or to inform them of, any Hazardous Materials or other adverse condition affecting the Mortgaged Property.
