RECITALS:
A. Reference is made to that certain Construction Loan Agreement made by
and between Lender and Borrower dated as of December 31, 2001 (the "Original
Loan Agreement"). All capitalized and undefined terms used in this Amendment
shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.
B. Reference is made to the Deed of Trust, which was recorded in the
Official Records of the City and County of San Francisco (the "Official
Records") on December 31, 2001 as Instrument No. 2001H081159.
C. By this Amendment, Lender, Associates, the Project Entity and Borrower
amend the Original Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, effective as of
the Amendment Effective Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree to amend the Loan
Documents as follows:
1. Definitions. The following definitions are hereby deleted in their
entirety from the Original Loan Agreement and replaced with the following.
"Development and Management Agreements" - means, collectively, (i) the
Development Co-Management Agreement between James D. Jefferson, dba The
Jefferson Company, and Borrower dated as of September 15, 1999, (ii) the
Development Co-Management Agreement between Wilson/Meany, LLC and Borrower,
dated as of August 1, 1999, as amended, (iii) the Development Management
Agreement between WEO and Borrower dated June 20, 2000, or any other substitute
or additional contract for
development management, property management and/or brokerage services for the
Property, and any amendment thereof, in each case, that has been approved by
Lender.
"Disbursement Budget" - means the design and construction budget for the
Improvements, as approved by Lender from time to time.
"EOP Project Investor" - means EOP - Ferry Building Investor, L.L.C., a
Delaware limited liability company.
"Loan" - means the principal sum that Lender agrees to lend and Borrower
agrees to borrow pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement: SIXTY
MILLION, EIGHT HUNDRED EIGHTY-TWO THOUSAND, EIGHT HUNDRED NINETY-SIX AND
NO/100THS DOLLARS ($60,882,896).
"Maturity Date" - means the earliest to occur of (i) February 27, 2004,
(ii) the date that is one hundred eighty days (180) days after the date that
either of the "B Unit" or the "C Unit" (with each of such quoted terms defined
as provided in the Operating Agreement of Project Entity) is transferred to the
EOP Project Investor or any person or entity controlling, controlled by or under
common control with the EOP Project Investor; and (iii) the date on which all
interests of WEO in the Project Entity are sold or otherwise transferred to any
person or entity that does not control, is not controlled by or is not under
common control with either the EOP Project Investor or WEO.
"Required Equity Contribution" - means THIRTY-TWO MILLION, SEVEN HUNDRED
EIGHTY-THREE THOUSAND, NINETY-EIGHT AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($32,783,098).
2. Amendment of Maximum Amount of Loan Throughout Loan Documents. In each
place in each of the Loan Documents where the amount of the Loan is set forth as
being FIFTY-FIVE MILLION, NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100THS DOLLARS
($55,900,000), such amount is here by stricken and replaced with the following:
SIXTY MILLION, EIGHT HUNDRED EIGHTY-TWO THOUSAND, EIGHT HUNDRED NINETY-SIX AND
NO/100THS DOLLARS ($60,882,896).
3. Required Equity Contribution as Condition to Disbursement. The parties
acknowledge that Borrower has not yet invested the full amount of the Required
Equity Contribution into the acquisition and development of the Property and
Improvements because "Investor" (as defined in the Operating Agreement of
Borrower) has not yet contributed a certain portion (the "Future Investor
Contribution") of the total equity that Investor is required to contribute under
such Operating Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing and the provisions of
Section 3.1(e) of the Original Loan Agreement to the contrary, Borrower will be
deemed to have invested the Future Investor Contribution for purposes of
satisfying the condition set forth in such Section 3.1(e) and Lender shall make
disbursements of the Loan as though Borrower has made the full Required Equity
Contribution; provided, however, that Lender shall not be obligated to make
-2-
disbursements under the Loan to the extent that the ratio of (a) disbursed
proceeds of the Loan to (b) equity invested by Borrower in the acquisition and
development of the Property and Improvements (disregarding any portion of the
Future Investor Contribution that remains uncontributed as of the date of such
determination), in each case, as of the date of determination, exceeds
1.85714:1.0 (i.e., for every $1.00 in equity actually invested by Borrower, the
Lender shall only be obligated to advance $1.85714 in Loan proceeds). If, at any
time, the Investor fails to remain obligated and reasonably likely, in the
reasonable discretion of Lender, to make some or all of the then-remaining
Future Investor Contribution (the "Failed Investor Contribution"), then for
purposes of such Section 3.1(e) Borrower no longer shall be deemed to have
invested that portion of the Future Investor Contribution equal to the Failed
Investor Contribution, and Lender shall not be obligated to make further
disbursements under the Loan until Borrower has invested an amount equal to the
Failed Investor Contribution.
4. Pre-Closing Loan Disbursements. Attached to this Amendment as Exhibit B
and incorporated into the Agreement by this reference is a schedule of advances
that were made by Lender to Borrower prior to the date of the closing of the
Loan. Notwithstanding the fact that such advances occurred prior to the date of
the closing of the Loan, Lender and Borrower hereby agree that each of such
advances shall be treated as if it were a disbursement of proceeds of the Loan
under and subject to the provisions of the Loan Documents, in each case, as of
the date of each such advance. In addition, the first sentence of the Section 1
of the Note is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
"As used in this Note, each interest period (each an "INTEREST PERIOD") shall be
the period of one month commencing on the date of this Note, or if earlier, the
date of the initial advance of funds evidenced by this Note, as shown in Exhibit
B of the first amendment to the Loan Agreement (provided, however, that the
first Interest Period shall commence on such date and shall end on the last day
of the next following calendar month), and each one month period thereafter,
commencing, in each case, on the first day following the expiration of the
immediately preceding Interest Period."
5. Exhibits C and D. Exhibits C and D to the Original Loan Agreement are
hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with Exhibits C and D to this
Amendment, which are incorporated into the Agreement by this reference.
6. Confirmation of Guaranties. Each of Associates and the Project Entity
hereby reconfirms its repayment guaranty in favor of Lender, as well as the
other Loan Documents related thereto, notwithstanding the effect of this
Amendment upon any of the Loan Documents.
7. Errata. In Section 4.2 of each of the Deed of Trust and the deed of
trust made by Associates securing Associates' repayment guaranty, "7.11" is
hereby deleted and replaced with "7.12". In addition, the following is hereby
added to the end of Section 11.1(b) of the Original Loan Agreement: "; or a
default by Borrower (following any applicable notice and cure period) under any
of the Other Related Documents".
-3-
Section 1.2 of the Original Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:
1.2 EXHIBITS A, B, C, D, E and F, all attached hereto, are hereby
incorporated into this Agreement.
8. Miscellaneous. This Amendment is effective as of the Amendment
Effective Date. Each of the Loan Documents, as originally executed by the
applicable parties (including, without limitation, the Original Loan Agreement)
shall remain in full force and effect, except as expressly otherwise provided in
this Amendment. As used in this Amendment and in the Original Loan Agreement,
the term "Agreement" shall mean the Original Loan Agreement, as modified by this
Amendment, and each reference to each of the other Loan Documents shall
hereafter refer to the applicable Loan Document, as amended by this Amendment.
This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall
be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one original of this
Amendment. A memorandum of this Amendment shall be recorded in the Official
Records promptly following the execution and delivery hereof in the form
attached to this Amendment as Exhibit A.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties to this Amendment do hereby execute and
deliver this Amendment as of the date first written above, but effective as of
the Amendment Effective Date.
