The outstanding principal balance of each Component of the Loan shall bear interest for each Interest Accrual Period at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Component Rate, plus, following the Anticipated Repayment Date for such Component, the Post-ARD Additional Interest Rate for such Component and (ii) the Maximum Rate.
(B)Computation of Interest. Interest on each Component of the Loan and all other Obligations owing to Lender shall be computed on the basis of a 360‑day year consisting of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months, and shall be charged for the actual number of days elapsed during any partial thirty (30) day month, in each case, except to the extent provided in any Loan Agreement Supplement. Interest shall be payable in arrears (except with respect to the number of days from the Due Date in any Interest Accrual Period to the last day of such Interest Accrual Period as to which interest shall be payable in advance, if any).
(C)Interest Laws. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay, and the Lender shall not be permitted to collect, any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by law (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Loan Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (1) the provisions of this subsection shall govern and control; (2) the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that the Lender may have received hereunder shall be, at the Lender’s option, (a) applied as a credit against either or both of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan or accrued and unpaid interest thereunder (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law), (b) refunded to the payor thereof, or (c) any combination of the foregoing; (4) the interest rate(s) provided for herein shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate allowed from time to time under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5) the Borrowers shall not have any action against the Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any Obligation is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Loan Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on such Obligations shall, to the extent permitted by law, remain at the Maximum Rate until the Lender shall have received or accrued the amount of interest which the Lender would have
‑37‑
received or accrued during such period on Obligations had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.
Section 2.3Additional Borrowers. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Borrowers may elect, pursuant to a Loan Agreement Supplement, other newly executed Loan Documents and/or modifications, amendments or supplements to then existing Loan Documents (in each case, reasonably acceptable to the Lender) to cause one or more direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Guarantor to assume and become jointly and severally obligated under the Notes and the Loan Documents for repayment of the Loan, to add the Additional Borrower Sites of such Additional Borrower in accordance with Section 11.7, and to pledge the Other Company Collateral of such Additional Borrower.

Together with such prepayment the Borrowers also shall pay (i) all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Loan being prepaid through the date of such prepayment and (ii) all other Obligations, in each case, then due and owing. If any prepayment (whether in whole or in part) occurs, then together therewith the Borrowers also are required to pay to Lender the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount being prepaid from and including the date of such prepayment to the end of the Interest Accrual Period during which such prepayment occurs. Except during the continuation of an Event of Default or an Amortization Period that commenced as the result of the occurrence of an event described in clause (i) of the definition thereof, prepayments will be applied, at the option of the Borrowers, either (x) to the payment of the principal of the Components of the Loan sequentially in order of the alphabetical designation of each such Component, and pro rata among any such Components of the same alphabetical designation, based on the Component Principal Balance of each such Component, in each case, in the amount up to the Component Principal Balance of each such Component or (y) to the payment in full of the Component Principal Balances of the Components having the same numerical designation.

Section 2.7Outstanding Balance. The balance on the Lender’s books and records shall be presumptive evidence (absent manifest error) of the amounts owing to the Lender by the Borrowers; provided that any failure to record any transaction affecting such
‑41‑
balance or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect the Borrowers’ obligation to pay the Obligations.
Section 2.8Reasonableness of Charges.
The Borrower Parties agree that (i) the actual costs and damages that the Lender would suffer by reason of an Event of Default (exclusive of the attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in connection with enforcement of the Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents) or a prepayment would be difficult and needlessly expensive to calculate and establish, and (ii) the amount of Yield Maintenance is reasonable, taking into consideration the circumstances known to the parties at this time, and (iii) such Yield Maintenance, and the Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with enforcement of the Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable as provided herein, and (iv) such Yield Maintenance, and the obligation to pay the Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and other enforcement costs do not, individually or collectively, constitute a penalty.

The Lender shall provide a reasonably detailed statement of Administrative Fees for which the Borrowers are liable two (2) Business Days prior to the date when due; provided that failure to timely provide such statement shall not relieve the Borrowers from the obligation to pay all such Administrative Fees.

All permits, licenses and certificates for the lawful use, occupancy and operation of each component of each of the Sites given as Collateral hereunder in the manner in which it is currently being used, occupied and operated have been obtained and are current and in full force and effect, except to the extent failure to obtain any such permits, licenses or certificates would not, in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Borrowers’ Knowledge, (i) no legal proceedings are pending or threatened with respect to the zoning of any Site and (ii) neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate any Site and any easement appurtenant or related to such Site is in any way dependent upon or related to any real estate other than such Site (other than the parent parcel such Site is a part of to the extent permitted by applicable building or zoning codes) and such easement, except to the extent same would not, in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(C)Management Agreement. The Borrowers have delivered to Lender a true and complete copy of the Management Agreement that will be in effect on the Closing Date, and such Management Agreement has not been modified or amended except pursuant to amendments or modifications delivered to Lender.

To the Borrowers’ Knowledge, none of the Improvements create encroachments over, across or upon the Sites’ boundary lines, rights of way or easements, and no building or other improvements on adjoining land create such an encroachment, which, in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

‑53‑
Obligations. The fair saleable value of each Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the Amendment Date Transactions, be greater than the Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its Contingent Obligations on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured.

In addition, where this Loan Agreement requires a “Compliance Certificate”, the Person required to submit the same shall deliver a certificate duly executed on behalf of such Person by its chief executive officer or chief financial officer (or other officer with similar duties) stating that, to their Knowledge after due inquiry, there does not exist any Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents (or if any exists, specifying the same in detail).
‑59‑

(B)Accountants’ Reports. Within a reasonable period of time, each Borrower will deliver to the Lender copies of all material reports submitted by independent public accountants in connection with each annual audit of the Financial Statements or other business operations of such Borrower made by such accountants, including the comment letter submitted by such accountants to management in connection with the annual audit.
(C)Tax Returns. Within thirty (30) days after filing the same, each Borrower shall deliver to the Lender a copy of its Federal income tax returns (or the return of the applicable Person into which such Borrower’s Federal income tax return is consolidated) filed in 2006 or thereafter, certified on its behalf by its chief financial officer (or similar position) to be true and correct in all material respects.
(D)Annual Operating Budget and CapEx Budgets. Prior to February 15, of each calendar year, commencing on such date in 2006, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Lender the Operating Budget and CapEx Budget (in each case presented on a monthly and annual basis) for such calendar year for informational purposes only. The Borrowers may make changes to the Operating Budget and the CapEx Budget from time to time as deemed reasonably necessary by the Borrowers, including to reflect the addition of any Additional Borrower, Additional Sites, or Additional Borrower Sites. Notice of any modifications to the Operating Budget and the CapEx Budget shall be delivered to the Lender at the time of delivery of the next financial reporting required pursuant to Section 5.1(A)(iv). The Operating Budget shall identify and set forth each Borrower’s reasonable estimate, after due consideration, of all Operating Expenses on a line‑item basis consistent with the form of Operating Budget delivered to the Lender prior to Original Closing Date. The Operating Budget and the CapEx Budget will be delivered to the Lender for the Lender’s information only and shall not be subject to the Lender’s approval provided that each such budget is consistent in form with the budgets delivered to the Lender in connection with the Original Closing.

Promptly upon any of the Borrowers obtaining knowledge of (1) the institution of any action, suit, proceeding, governmental investigation or arbitration against the Borrowers or any of the Sites not previously disclosed in writing by the Borrowers to the Lender which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect and is not covered by insurance or (2) any material development in any action, suit, proceeding, governmental investigation or arbitration at any time pending against or affecting the Borrowers or the Sites which, in each case, if adversely determined and not covered by insurance could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrowers will give notice thereof to the Lender and, upon request from the Lender, provide such other information as may be reasonably available to them to enable the Lender and its counsel to evaluate such matter.
(H)Insurance. Prior to the end of each insurance policy period of the Borrowers, the Borrowers will deliver certificates, reports, and/or other information (all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender), (i) outlining all material insurance coverage maintained as of the date thereof by the Borrowers and all material insurance coverage planned to be maintained by the Borrowers in the subsequent insurance policy period and (ii) to the extent not paid directly by the Servicer, evidencing payment in full of the premiums for such insurance policies.

Section 5.2Existence; Qualification.
The Borrowers will, and will cause each of the Guarantor, SBA Holdings and any Additional Guarantors to, at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect their existence as a limited partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, as the case may be, and all rights and franchises material to its business, including their qualification to do business in each state where it is required by law to so qualify; provided, however, that any Borrower may merge with any other Borrower, Additional Borrower or other Person at any time; provided that (i) a then-existing Borrower or Additional Borrower is the surviving entity, (ii) such Borrower shall, as of the effective date of such merger, make each of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Section 9.1 and (iii) on or prior to the date of such merger, such Borrower shall deliver to the Lender an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel to the effect that such merger will not (a) cause a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes to any holder of a Security, (b) cause the Trust to be other than a grantor trust for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, or (c) cause any of the Components to be characterized as other than indebtedness for U.S. Federal income tax purposes; provided, further that in the case of a merger of a Borrower or an Additional Borrower with a Person who is not a Borrower or an Additional Borrower, (x) such Borrower or Additional Borrower shall have made to the Lender, in a Loan Agreement Supplement, as to the Sites owned by such Person prior to such merger, the representations and
‑61‑
warranties set forth in Sections 4.5, 4.6, 4.7(A) and (B), 4.8, 4.9, 4.25, 4.26, 4.28 and 4.29 and (y) the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender a letter from the counsel who most recently delivered an opinion to the Lender concerning the substantive non-consolidation of such Borrower or Additional Borrower, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, to the effect that such merger does not affect the conclusions in such substantive non-consolidation opinion.
Section 5.3Payment of Impositions and Claims.
(A) Except for those matters being contested pursuant to clause (B) below, the Borrowers will pay (i) all Impositions; (ii) all claims (including claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums that have become due and payable and that by law have or may become a Lien upon any of its properties or assets (hereinafter referred to as the “Claims”); and (iii) all federal, state and local income taxes, sales taxes, excise taxes and all other taxes and assessments of the Borrowers on their business, income or assets; in each instance before any penalty or fine is incurred with respect thereto.
(A)The Borrowers shall not be required to pay, discharge or remove any Imposition or Claim relating to a Site so long as the Borrowers contest in good faith such Imposition, Claim or the validity, applicability or amount thereof by an appropriate legal proceeding which operates to prevent the collection of such amounts and the sale of the applicable Site or any portion thereof, so long as: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) prior to the date on which such Imposition or Claim would otherwise have become delinquent, the Borrowers shall have given the Lender prior written notice of their intent to contest said Imposition or Claim and shall have deposited with the Lender (or with a court of competent jurisdiction or other appropriate body reasonably approved by the Lender) such additional amounts as are necessary to keep on deposit at all times, an amount by way of cash (or other form reasonably satisfactory to the Lender), equal to (after giving effect to any Reserves then held by the Lender for the item then subject to contest) at least one hundred twenty‑five percent (125%) of the total of (x) the balance of such Imposition or Claim then remaining unpaid, and (y) all interest, penalties, costs and charges accrued or accumulated thereon; (iii) no risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of any interest in the applicable Site or any part thereof arises, in the Lender’s reasonable judgment, during the pendency of such contest; (iv) such contest does not, in the Lender’s reasonable determination, have a Material Adverse Effect; and (v) such contest is based on bona fide, material, and reasonable claims or defenses. Any such contest shall be prosecuted with due diligence, and the Borrowers shall promptly pay the amount of such Imposition or Claim as finally determined, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. The Lender shall have full power and authority, but no obligation, to apply any amount deposited with the Lender to the payment of any unpaid Imposition or Claim to prevent the sale or forfeiture of the applicable Site for non‑payment thereof, if the Lender reasonably believes that such sale or forfeiture is threatened.
‑62‑
Section 5.4Maintenance of Insurance. The Borrowers will continuously maintain the following described policies of insurance without cost to the Lender (the “Insurance Policies”):
(i)Commercial general liability insurance, including death, bodily injury and broad form property damage coverage with a combined single limit in an amount not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and two million dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate for any policy year;
(ii)For each Site (other than the Managed Sites) located in whole or in part in a federally designated “special flood hazard area”, flood insurance to the extent required by law and available at federally subsidized rates;
(iii)An umbrella excess liability policy with a limit of not less than ten million dollars ($10,000,000) over primary insurance, which policy shall include coverage for water damage, so‑called assumed and contractual liability coverage, premises medical payment and automobile liability coverage, and coverage for safeguarding of personalty and shall also include such additional coverages and insured risks which are acceptable to the Lender;
(iv)Business interruption and/or rent loss insurance with an aggregate limit equal to $5,000,000;
(v)Property insurance in an amount equal to $5,000,000; and
(vi)During any period of construction, repair or restoration, builders “all risk” insurance in an amount equal to not less than the full insurable value of the applicable Sites.
All Insurance Policies shall be in content (including, without limitation, endorsements or exclusions, if any), form, and amounts, and issued by companies, satisfactory to the Lender from time to time and shall name the Lender and its successors and assignees as their interests may appear as an “additional insured” or “loss payee” for each of the liability policies under this Section 5.4 and shall (except for Worker’s Compensation Insurance) contain a waiver of subrogation clause reasonably acceptable to the Lender. All Insurance Policies under Sections 5.4(ii), (iv), and (v), hereof with respect to the Mortgaged Sites shall contain a Non‑Contributory Standard mortgagee clause and a mortgagee’s Loss Payable Endorsement (Form 438 BFU NS), or their equivalents (such endorsements shall entitle the Lender to collect any and all proceeds payable under all such insurance, with the insurance company waiving any claim or defense against the Lender for premium payment, deductible, self‑insured retention or claims reporting provisions). All Insurance Policies shall provide that the coverage shall not be modified without thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to the Lender and shall provide that no claims shall be paid thereunder to a Person other than the Lender without ten (10) days’ advance written notice to the Lender. The Borrowers may obtain any insurance required by this Section through blanket policies; provided, however, that such blanket policies shall separately set forth the amount of insurance in force (together with applicable deductibles, and per occurrence limits) with respect to the Sites and shall afford all the protections to the Lender as are required under this Section. Except as may be expressly provided above, all policies of insurance required hereunder shall contain no annual aggregate limit of liability, other than with respect to liability insurance. If a blanket policy is issued, a certified copy of said policy shall be furnished,
‑63‑
together with a certificate indicating that the Lender is an additional insured (and, if applicable, loss payee) under such policy in the designated amount. The Borrowers will deliver duplicate originals of all Insurance Policies, premium prepaid for a period of one (1) year, to the Lender and, in case of Insurance Policies about to expire, the Borrowers will deliver duplicate originals of replacement policies satisfying the requirements hereof to the Lender prior to the date of expiration; provided, however, if such replacement policy is not yet available, the Borrowers shall provide the Lender with an insurance certificate executed by the insurer or its authorized agent evidencing that the insurance required hereunder is being maintained under such policy, which certificate shall be acceptable to the Lender on an interim basis until the duplicate original of the policy is available. An insurance company shall not be satisfactory unless such insurance company is licensed or authorized to issue insurance in the State where the applicable Site is located and has a claims paying ability rating by the Rating Agencies of “A” (or its equivalent). With Rating Agency Confirmation, the Borrowers may satisfy any of the obligations under this Section 5.4 through self-insurance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a carrier which does not meet the foregoing ratings requirement shall nevertheless be deemed acceptable hereunder, provided that such carrier is reasonably acceptable to the Lender and the Borrowers shall obtain and deliver to the Lender a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such carrier from each of the Rating Agencies. If any insurance coverage required under this Section 5.4 is maintained by a syndicate of insurers, the preceding ratings requirements shall be deemed satisfied (without any required Rating Agency Confirmation) as long as at least seventy‑five percent (75%) of the coverage (if there are four or fewer members of the syndicate) or at least sixty percent (60%) of the coverage (if there are five or more members of the syndicate) is maintained with carriers meeting the claims‑paying ability ratings requirements by Fitch and Xxxxx’x (if applicable) set forth above and all carriers in such syndicate have a claims‑paying ability rating by Fitch of not less than “BBB” and by Xxxxx’x of not less than “Baa2” (to the extent rated by Xxxxx’x). The Borrowers shall furnish the Lender receipts for the payment of premiums on such insurance policies or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender in the event that such premiums have not been paid by the Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The requirements of this Section 5.4 shall apply to any separate policies of insurance taken out by the Borrowers concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with the Insurance Policies. Losses shall be payable to the Lender notwithstanding (1) any act, failure to act or negligence of the Borrowers or their agents or employees, the Lender or any other insured party which might, absent such agreement, result in a forfeiture or all or part of such insurance payment, other than the willful misconduct of the Lender knowingly in violation of the conditions of such policy, (2) the occupation or use of the Sites or any part thereof for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of such policy, (3) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken pursuant to this Loan Agreement or (4) any change in title to or ownership of the Sites or any part thereof. The property insurance described in this Section 5.4 hereof shall include “underground hazards” coverage; “time element” coverage by which the Lender shall be assured payment of all amounts due under the Notes, this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; “extra expense” (i.e., soft costs), clean‑up, transit and ordinary payroll coverage; and “expediting expense” coverage to facilitate rapid repair or restoration of the Sites. The Insurance Policies shall not contain any deductible in excess of $500,000.
Section 5.5Operation and Maintenance of the Sites; Casualty; Condemnation. (A) The Borrowers shall maintain or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition all material property necessary for use in the business of each
‑64‑
Borrower, including the applicable Site, and will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements thereof, all in accordance with the then applicable best customs and practices of the Borrowers’ industry. All work required or permitted under this Loan Agreement shall be performed in a workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable laws.
(A)(i) In the event of casualty or loss at any of the Sites, the Borrowers shall give immediate written notice of any such casualty or loss exceeding $250,000, or which is not covered by insurance, to the insurance carrier and to the Lender and shall, to the extent permitted by law, promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion, in accordance with the terms hereof, the repair and restoration of the Site as nearly as possible to the Pre‑Existing Condition, excluding replacement of obsolete Other Company Collateral which is not required in connection with operating the applicable Site (a “Restoration”). The Borrowers hereby authorize and empower the Lender as attorney‑in‑fact for the Borrowers (jointly with the Borrowers unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), or any of them, with respect to Insurance Proceeds related to a casualty in excess of $1,000,000 to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive Insurance Proceeds (and regardless of the amount of such Insurance Proceeds if an Event of Default exists), to deposit such Insurance Proceeds directly into and be held in the Loss Proceeds Reserve Sub‑Account pending the Lender’s determination with respect to Restoration of the affected Site as set forth in Subsection 5.5(C)), and to deduct therefrom the Lender’s expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section shall require the Lender to incur any expense or take any action hereunder. The Borrowers further authorize the Lender, at the Lender’s option, with respect to Insurance Proceeds in excess of $1,000,000 (and regardless of the amount of such Insurance Proceeds if an Event of Default exists) (a) to hold the balance of such proceeds to be used to reimburse the Borrowers for the cost of Restoration of any of the Sites or (b) subject to Subsection 5.5(C), to apply such Insurance Proceeds to payment of the Obligations whether or not then due, in any order.
(i)The Borrowers shall promptly give the Lender written notice of any known actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting the Sites or any portion thereof that could reasonably be expected to adversely impact the ability of the Borrowers to fulfill their respective obligations under the Leases relating to such Sites. The Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as the attorney‑in‑fact for the Borrowers (jointly with the Borrowers unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), or any of them, with respect to Condemnation Proceeds in excess of $1,000,000 to collect, receive and retain any Condemnation Proceeds (and regardless of the amount of such Condemnation Proceeds if an Event of Default exists, to be deposited directly into and held in the Loss Proceeds Reserve Sub‑Account pending the Borrowers’ determination with respect to Restoration of the affected Site as set forth in Subsection 5.5(C)) and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such proceeding. In accordance with the terms hereof, the Borrowers shall cause the Condemnation Proceeds in excess of $1,000,000 (and regardless of the amount of such Condemnation Proceeds if an Event of Default exists) which are payable to the Borrowers, to be paid directly to the Lender. If the applicable Site is sold following an Event of Default, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by the Lender of Condemnation Proceeds, the Lender shall have the right, whether or not a
‑65‑
deficiency judgment on the Notes shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive said Condemnation Proceeds, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers may prosecute any condemnation proceeding and settle or compromise and collect Condemnation Proceeds of not more than $1,000,000 provided that: (a) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (b) in Borrower’s reasonable good faith judgment, such condemnation or taking does not and will not materially restrict access to the Sites or otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect and the Site remaining after such condemnation or taking is capable of being restored to an economically viable whole of substantially the same type which existed prior to the condemnation or taking or in substantial compliance with all applicable laws, (c) the Borrowers apply the Condemnation Proceeds to any reconstruction or repair of the Site necessary as a result of such condemnation or taking, and (d) the Borrowers promptly commence and diligently prosecute such reconstruction or repair to completion in accordance with all applicable laws. Subject to the terms hereof, the Borrowers authorize the Lender to apply such Condemnation Proceeds, after the deduction of the Lender’s reasonable expenses incurred in the collection of such Condemnation Proceeds (provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section shall require the Lender to incur any expenses or take any action hereunder), at the Lender’s option, to restoration or repair of the Sites or to payment of the Obligations, whether or not then due, in the order determined by the Lender, with the balance, if any, to the Borrowers. The Lender shall not exercise the Lender’s option to apply such Condemnation Proceeds to payment of the Obligations, provided that each of the conditions (as applicable) to the release of Loss Proceeds for restoration or repair of the Sites under Section 5.5(C) below have been satisfied with respect to such Condemnation Proceeds.
(B)The Lender shall not exercise the Lender’s option to apply Loss Proceeds to payment of the Obligations if all of the following conditions are met: (i) no Event of Default then exists; (ii) the Lender reasonably determines that there will be sufficient funds to complete the Restoration of the Site to at least substantially to the condition it was in immediately prior to such casualty or condemnation (excluding replacement of obsolete Other Company Collateral which is not required in connection with operating the applicable Site) and in compliance with applicable laws (the “Pre‑Existing Condition”) and to timely make all payments due under the Loan Documents (including but not limited to Administrative Fees) during the Restoration of the affected Site; (iii) the Lender reasonably determines that the Net Operating Income of the Sites (including rental income or business interruption insurance) will be sufficient to pay principal and interest on the Loan (and any outstanding Administrative Fees); and Operating Revenues of the Sites, after the Restoration thereof to the Pre‑Existing Condition, will be sufficient to meet all Operating Expenses, and payments for Reserves; and (iv) the Lender determines that the Restoration of the affected Site to the Pre‑Existing Condition will be completed not later than six (6) months prior to the next succeeding Anticipated Repayment Date for any Component of the Loan. If the Lender elects to apply Loss Proceeds to payment of the Obligations, such application shall be made on the Due Date immediately following such election in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Borrowers may, in their reasonable discretion, and within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Loss Proceeds, elect not to restore or replace a Site, in which event any Loss Proceeds relating to such Site held in the Loss Proceeds Reserve Sub‑Account shall be applied to payment of the Obligations on the Due Date immediately following such election.
‑66‑
(C)The Lender shall not be obligated to disburse Loss Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month. If Loss Proceeds are applied to the payment of the Obligations, any such application of Loss Proceeds to principal shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the monthly payments due under the Notes or otherwise under the Loan Documents, or change the amounts of such payments. If the Lender elects to apply all of such insurance or condemnation proceeds toward the repayment of the Obligations, the Borrowers shall (subject to compliance with Section 11.4) be entitled to obtain from the Lender a Site Release (without representation or warranty) of the applicable Site from the Lien of the Deed of Trust relating to such Site (in which event the Borrowers shall not be obligated to restore the applicable Site pursuant to Section 5.5(B), above) provided that the Borrowers pay to the Lender the amount, if any, by which the Release Price for such Site exceeds the Loss Proceeds received by the Lender and applied to repayment of the Obligations. Any amount of Loss Proceeds remaining in the Lender’s possession after full and final payment and discharge of all Obligations shall be refunded to, or as directed by, the Borrowers or otherwise paid in accordance with applicable law. If the Site is sold at foreclosure or if the Lender acquires title to the Site, the Lender shall have all of the right, title and interest of the applicable Borrower in and to any Loss Proceeds and unearned premiums on Insurance Policies.
(D)In no event shall the Lender be obligated to make disbursements of Loss Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Borrowers, less a retainage equal to the greater of (x) the actual retainage required pursuant to the permitted contract, or (y) ten percent (10%) of such costs incurred until the Restoration has been completed. The retainage shall in no event be less than the amount actually held back by the Borrowers from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The retainage shall not be released until the Lender is reasonably satisfied that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.5 and that all approvals necessary for the re‑occupancy and use of the Site have been obtained from all appropriate governmental authorities, and the Lender receives final lien waivers and such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the retainage.
Section 5.6Inspection.
Each Borrower shall permit any authorized representatives designated by the Lender to visit and inspect during normal business hours its Sites and its business, including its financial and accounting records, and to make copies and take extracts therefrom and to discuss its affairs, finances and business with its officers and independent public accountants (with such Borrower’s representative(s) present), at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably requested, provided that same is conducted in such a manner as to not unreasonably interfere with the Borrowers’ business, and in accordance with the applicable Ground Lease, if any. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender shall provide advance written notice of at least three (3) Business Days prior to visiting or inspecting any Site or such Borrower’s offices.
‑67‑
Section 5.7Compliance with Laws and Contractual Obligations. The Borrowers will (A) comply with the requirements of all present and future applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any governmental authority in all jurisdictions in which it is now doing business or may hereafter be doing business, other than those laws, rules, regulations and orders the noncompliance with which collectively could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (B) maintain all licenses and permits now held or hereafter acquired by any Borrower, the loss, suspension, or revocation of which, or failure to renew, in the aggregate could have a Material Adverse Effect and (C) perform, observe, comply and fulfill all of its material obligations, covenants and conditions contained in any Contractual Obligation.
Section 5.8Further Assurances. The Borrowers shall, from time to time, execute and/or deliver such documents, instruments, agreements, financing statements, and perform such acts as the Lender at any time may reasonably request to evidence, preserve and/or protect the Collateral at any time securing or intended to secure the Obligations and/or to better and more effectively carry out the purposes of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 5.9Performance of Agreements and Leases. Each Borrower Party shall duly and punctually perform, observe and comply in all material respects with all of the terms, provisions, conditions, covenants and agreements on its part to be performed, observed and complied with (i) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, (ii) under all Material Agreements and Leases (including, but not limited to, any obligation of such Borrower Party under a Net Rent Tenant Lease to pay amounts to a Tenant thereunder on account of rent payable by third-party co-location sub-tenants who sublease Site Space at the related Site) and (iii) all other agreements entered into or assumed by such Person in connection with the Sites, and will not suffer or permit any material default or event of default (giving effect to any applicable notice requirements and cure periods) to exist under any of the foregoing except where the failure to perform, observe or comply with any agreement referred to in this clause (iii) would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Borrowers shall be permitted to terminate or assign any Site Management Agreement which the Borrowers reasonably deem necessary in accordance with prudent business practices, provided that (i) the Borrowers provide written notice to the Lender of such determination not later than thirty (30) days prior to such termination or assignment, (ii) together with such notice the Borrowers provide supporting information reasonably acceptable to the Lender that immediately following such termination or assignment the Debt Service Coverage Ratio will be equal to or greater than the Debt Service Coverage Ratio immediately prior to such termination or assignment, (iii) the Borrowers provide to the Lender either (x) Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such termination or assignment or (y) together with such notice evidence in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender that (a) the aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to all Sites affected by the termination or assignment and each such Site for which termination has occurred under this Section 5.9, Section 5.21(A) and Section 5.22(A) since, if such termination or assignment is occurring (x) prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date, April 16, 2010, or (y) on or after the Second Amendment Effective Date, the date of the Loan Increase relating to the then-outstanding Component that has been outstanding for the longest period of time, would not exceed five percent (5%) of the aggregate original Component Principal Balances of all

Section 5.10Leases.
Any Rents which constitute Advance Rents Reserve Deposits shall be deposited into the Advance Rents Reserve Sub‑Account to be applied in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement. The Borrowers, at the Lender’s request, shall furnish the Lender with executed copies of all Leases hereafter made. Each new Lease, other than (x) the addition of new sites pursuant to existing master Leases, (y) new Leases in the form of existing Leases with the same tenants, or (z) Governmental Leases, shall specifically provide that such Lease (i) is subordinate to the Deeds of Trust, provided that the Lender agrees not to disturb the applicable Tenant’s possession for so long as Tenant is not in default under the terms of the applicable lease (as evidenced by an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1; (ii) that the tenant attorns to the Lender; (iii) that the attornment of the tenant shall not be terminated by foreclosure; and (iv) that in no event shall the Lender, as holder of the Deeds of Trust or as successor landlord, be liable to the tenant for any act or omission of any prior landlord or for any liability or obligation of any prior landlord occurring prior to the date that the Lender or any subsequent owner acquires title to the Site. On the Original Closing Date and at such other times as shall be required by applicable law (including upon replacement of the Manager) or upon the request of a Tenant, the Lender shall execute a power of attorney (in the form of Exhibit F) enabling the Manager (on behalf of the Lender) to execute an agreement (an “SNDA”) providing that the Lender agrees not to disturb the applicable tenant’s possession for so long as tenant is not in default under the terms of the applicable lease, substantially in one of the forms described in Exhibit E-2 (with the appropriate information completed therein) without any material changes being made to the form.
Section 5.11Management Agreement. (A) The Borrowers shall cause the Manager to manage the Sites in accordance with the Management Agreement. The Borrowers shall (i) perform and observe all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of each Borrower to be performed and observed, (ii) promptly notify the Lender of any notice to any of the Borrowers of any material default under the Management Agreement of which they are aware, and (iii) prior to termination of the Manager in accordance with Section 5.11(C), Borrowers shall renew the Management Agreement prior to each expiration date thereunder in accordance with its terms. If the Borrowers shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Management Agreement on the part of the Borrowers to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the Lender’s other rights or remedies under Loan Agreement or
‑69‑
the other Loan Documents, and without waiving or releasing the Borrowers from any of their obligations hereunder or under the Management Agreement, the Lender shall have the right, upon prior written notice to the Borrowers, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act as may be reasonably appropriate to cause such material conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of the Borrowers to be performed or observed. If the Borrowers fail to renew the Management Agreement, the Lender has the right, but not the obligation, to renew the Management Agreement within ten (10) Business Days’ of receipt of notice from the Manager that the Management Agreement will terminate unless otherwise renewed.
(A)The Borrowers shall not surrender, terminate, cancel, or modify other than non-material changes, the Management Agreement, or enter into any other Management Agreement with any new Manager, other than an Acceptable Manager (under a management agreement substantially similar in all material respects to the initial Management Agreement), or consent to the assignment by the Manager of its interest under the Management Agreement, other than to an Acceptable Manager, in each case without delivery of Rating Agency Confirmations from each of the Rating Agencies and written consent of the Lender. In any case, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Lender copies of all modifications, amendments and supplements to the Management Agreement promptly upon execution thereof. If at any time the Lender consents to the appointment of a new Manager, or if an Acceptable Manager shall become the Manager, such new Manager, or the Acceptable Manager, as the case may be, and the Borrowers shall, as a condition of the Lender’s consent, or with respect to an Acceptable Manager, prior to commencement of its duties as Manager, execute a subordination of management agreement in substantially the form of the Assignment of Management Agreement.
(B)The Lender shall have the right to terminate the Management Agreement and require that the Manager be replaced with a Person chosen by the Borrowers (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Lender) and reasonably acceptable to the Lender, upon the earliest to occur of any one or more of the following events: (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, (ii) thirty (30) days after notice from the Lender to the Borrowers if Manager has engaged in fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct arising from or in connection with its performance under the Management Agreement, (iii) thirty (30) days after notice from the Lender to the Borrowers following the latest Maturity Date of any Component then outstanding, (iv) if the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is less than 1.1:1 as of the end of any calendar quarter and the Lender reasonably determines that such decline in the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is primarily attributable to acts or omissions of the Manager rather than factors affecting the Borrowers’ industry generally or (v) a default by the Manager in the performance of its obligations under the Management Agreement, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and such default remains unremedied for thirty (30) days following written notice to Manager. The appointment of any Person chosen by the Borrowers (or the Lender) to be successor Manager who is not an Affiliate of SBA Parent will require Rating Agency Confirmation. A replacement Manager who satisfies the foregoing shall be an “Acceptable Manager”.

(A)The Obligations;
(B)(i) Unsecured trade payables not evidenced by a note and arising out of purchases of goods or services in the ordinary course of business, (ii) Indebtedness incurred in the financing of equipment or other personal property used at any Site in the ordinary course of business, and (iii) contingent earn-out obligations not to exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate; provided that (a) each such trade payable is payable not later than ninety (90) days after the original invoice date and is not overdue by more than thirty (30) days, and (b) the aggregate amount of such trade payables and Indebtedness relating to financing of equipment and personal property or otherwise referred to in clauses (i), and (ii) above outstanding does not, at any time, exceed $20,000,000.

The Borrowers shall not directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Related Person or with any director, officer or employee of any Borrower Party, except transactions in the ordinary course of business and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of the business of the Borrowers and upon fair and reasonable terms and are no less favorable to any of the Borrowers than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not a Related Person. The Borrowers shall not make any payment or permit any payment to be made on behalf of the Borrowers to any Related Person when or as to any time when any Event of Default shall exist except as may be permitted by the Lender pursuant to the terms of the Cash Management Agreement.

The Borrowers shall not file a petition for, consent to the filing of a petition for, or aid, solicit, support, or otherwise act, cooperate or collude to cause the filing of a petition for an Involuntary Borrower Bankruptcy. In any Involuntary Borrower Bankruptcy, no Borrower Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Lender, consent to the entry of any order, file any motion, or support any motion (irrespective of the subject of the motion), and the Borrowers shall not file or support any plan of reorganization. The Borrowers having any interest in any Involuntary Borrower Bankruptcy shall do all things reasonably requested by the Lender to assist the Lender in

Except as provided in this Section 5.21, the Borrowers shall not modify or amend any material substantive or economic term of, or, subject to the terms of Section 11.5, terminate, assign or surrender any Ground Lease, in each case without the prior written consent of the Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any such attempted or purported material modification, amendment, or any surrender or termination of any Ground Lease without the Lender’s prior written consent shall be null and void and of no force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Borrowers shall be permitted, without the Lender’s consent, to:
(i)(a) extend the terms of the Ground Leases, add renewal terms or option periods, relocate or correct a related easement, or (b) convert any Ground Lease Site to an Owned Site or Easement Site, in each case, during a Special Servicing Period, with the Servicer’s consent;

In connection with any termination or assignment permitted pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.21(A), the Borrowers may sell any Other Company Collateral associated with the applicable Site and no longer required in connection with the operation of the Borrowers’ business; and
(iii)provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and is then continuing, increase, decrease or reconfigure the area of real property covered by a Ground Lease, and in connection therewith amend and restate the existing Ground Lease or replace the existing Ground Lease (either, an “Amended Ground Lease”), to include such additional real property or reflect such decrease or reconfiguration, provided that such Ground Lease is on commercially reasonable substantive (including, by way of either an estoppel or as provided by the terms of the Amended Ground Lease, such lender protections as were available to the Lender in the Ground Lease (or Estoppel delivered in connection therewith) being replaced with the Amended Ground Lease) and economic terms (taking into consideration the additional, reduced or reconfigured real property covered by the Amended Ground Lease), with no reduction in the economic value of the applicable Site, and subject to the following conditions:
(a)the Borrowers shall have made a copy of the Amended Ground Lease certified by the applicable Borrower as being true, accurate and complete, together with an estoppel from the applicable Ground Lessor demonstrating that the Amended Ground Lease is in full force and effect available to the Lender;
(b)if additional property is being added to the Ground Lease, on or prior to execution and delivery of the Amended Ground Lease, the applicable Borrower shall have obtained a new or refreshed ASTM compliant Phase I environmental report prepared by a consultant who has provided such reports for Sites or who is reasonably acceptable to the Lender on subject property, together with a Phase II environment assessment report (if any database search Phase I environmental report reveals any condition that in the Lender’s reasonable judgment warrants such a report) which concludes that the subject property does not contain any Hazardous Materials (except for cleaning and other products used in connection with the routine maintenance, operation or repair of the subject
‑74‑
property or the operation thereof as a tower property in full compliance with Environmental Laws) and is not in violation of any Environmental Laws;
(c)if the Ground Lease being replaced is, with respect to a Mortgaged Site, simultaneous with the execution and delivery of the Amended Ground Lease, the Lender shall have received (1) an Amended Deed of Trust executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the applicable Borrower encumbering the property included under the Amended Ground Lease and (2) an endorsement to the existing Title Policy in substantially the form delivered at the Original Closing insuring the lien of the Amended Deed of Trust, or a replacement policy in an amount equal to 125% of the Allocated Loan Amount with respect to such Site, in either case issued by the Title Company and dated as of the date of the Amended Ground Lease; provided, however, that, if the Amended Ground Lease is being executed and delivered on or after the Second Amendment Effective Date, no endorsement to the existing Title Policy or replacement policy shall be required to be delivered to the Lender in respect of such Amended Ground Lease if (x) the Borrowers shall have delivered Rating Agency Confirmation to the Lender or (y) the Ground Lease Site relating to such Amended Ground Lease was not part of the Collateral on April 18, 2013;
(d)The Borrowers shall pay or reimburse the Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) in connection with such Amended Ground Lease, and all recording charges, filing fees, taxes or other expenses (including, without limitation, mortgage and intangibles taxes and documentary stamp taxes) payable in connection therewith; and
(e)if the aggregate Allocated Loan Amount of all Sites for which an Amended Ground Lease has been executed exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate original Component Principal Balances of the Loan then outstanding, the Borrowers shall deliver a Rating Agency Confirmation to the Lender.
(B)Performance of Ground Leases. The Borrowers shall fully perform as and when due each and all of their obligations under each Ground Lease in accordance with the terms of such Ground Lease, and shall not cause or suffer to occur any material breach or default in any of such obligations. The Borrowers shall exercise any option to renew or extend any Ground Lease and if the Borrowers elect not to renew a Ground Lease (which shall only be permitted if the Borrowers would be entitled to terminate such Ground Lease pursuant to clause (A) above) the Borrowers shall give the Lender thirty (30) days prior written notice of the Borrowers’ intention not to renew such Ground Lease. If the Borrowers fail to renew a Ground Lease which is required to be renewed pursuant to this Section 5.21(B), the Lender shall have the right to renew such Ground Lease on behalf of the Borrowers. Notwithstanding that certain of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Loan Agreement may be similar or identical to certain of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Ground Leases, all of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Loan Agreement are and shall be separate from and in addition to its obligations under the Ground Leases.
‑75‑
(C)Notice of Default. If the Borrowers shall have or receive any written notice that any Ground Lease Default has occurred under a Ground Lease which would be reasonably likely to result in the termination of such Ground Lease, then the Borrowers immediately shall notify the Lender in writing of the same and immediately deliver to the Lender a true and complete copy of each such notice. Further, the Borrowers shall provide such documents and information as the Lender shall reasonably request concerning the Ground Lease Default.
(D)Lender’s Right to Cure. If any Ground Lease Default shall occur and be continuing under a Ground Lease which would be reasonably likely to result in the termination of such Ground Lease, or if any Ground Lessor asserts that such a Ground Lease Default has occurred (whether or not the Borrowers question or deny such assertion), then, subject to (i) the terms and conditions of the applicable Ground Lease, and (ii) the Borrowers’ right to terminate Ground Leases in accordance with Section 5.21(A) hereof, the Lender, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrowers, unless the Lender reasonably determines that a shorter period (or no period) of notice is necessary to protect the Lender’s interest in the Ground Lease, may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that the Lender deems reasonably necessary, including, without limitation, (i) performance or attempted performance of the applicable Borrower’s obligations under the applicable Ground Lease, (ii) curing or attempting to cure any actual or purported Ground Lease Default, (iii) mitigating or attempting to mitigate any damages or consequences of the same and (iv) entry upon the applicable Ground Lease Site for any or all of such purposes. Upon the Lender’s request, each Borrower shall submit satisfactory evidence of payment or performance of any of its obligations under each Ground Lease. The Lender may pay and expend such sums of money as the Lender in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable for any such purpose, and the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender within five (5) Business Days of the written demand of the Lender all such sums so paid or expended by the Lender, together with interest thereon from the date of expenditure.
(E)Legal Action. The Borrowers shall not commence any action or proceeding against any Ground Lessor or affecting or potentially affecting any Ground Lease or the Borrowers’ or the Lender’s interest therein, the effect of which could cause an event of default or termination of any such Ground Lease, without the prior written consent of the Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Borrowers shall notify the Lender immediately if any action or proceeding shall be commenced between any Ground Lessor and any Borrower, or affecting or potentially affecting any Ground Lease or any Borrowers’ or the Lender’s interest therein (including, without limitation, any case commenced by or against any Ground Lessor under the Bankruptcy Code). The Lender shall have the option, exercisable upon notice from the Lender to the Borrowers, to participate in any such action or proceeding with counsel of the Lender’s choice. The Borrowers shall cooperate with the Lender, comply with the reasonable instructions of the Lender, execute any and all powers, authorizations, consents or other documents reasonably required by the Lender in connection therewith, and shall not settle any such action or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(F)Bankruptcy.
(i) If any Ground Lessor shall reject any Ground Lease under or pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, without the Lender’s prior written consent, the Borrowers
‑76‑
shall not elect to treat the Ground Lease as terminated but shall elect to remain in possession of the applicable Ground Lease Site and the leasehold estate under such Ground Lease. The lien of the Deed of Trust covering such Site does and shall encumber and attach to all of the Borrowers’ rights and remedies at any time arising under or pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, including without limitation, all of such Borrowers’ rights to remain in possession of such Site and the leasehold estate.
(i)The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that in any case commenced by or against the Borrowers under the Bankruptcy Code, the Lender by reason of the liens and rights granted under the Deed of Trust covering such Site and the Loan Documents shall have a substantial and material interest in the treatment and preservation of such Borrowers’ rights and obligations under such Ground Lease, and that such Borrower shall, in any such bankruptcy case, provide to the Lender immediate and continuous reasonably adequate protection of such interests. Each Borrower and the Lender agree that such adequate protection shall include but shall not necessarily be limited to the following:
(a)The Lender shall be deemed a party to the Ground Lease (but shall not have any obligations thereunder) for purposes of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and shall, provided that, prior to an Event of Default, no such action by Lender would adversely and materially affect the Borrowers’ ability to prosecute, or defend, any such claims asserted therein, have standing to appear and act as a party in interest in relation to any matter arising out of or related to the Ground Lease or such Site.
(b)The Borrowers shall serve Lender with copies of all notices, pleadings and other documents relating to or affecting the Ground Lease or the applicable Site. Any notice, pleading or document served by the Borrowers on any other party in the bankruptcy case shall be contemporaneously served by such Borrower on Lender, and any notice, pleading or document served upon or received by such Borrower from any other party in the bankruptcy case shall be served by such Borrower on Lender promptly upon receipt by such Borrower.
(c)Upon written request of Lender, the Borrowers shall assume the Ground Lease, and shall take such steps as are necessary to preserve such Borrower’s right to assume the Ground Lease, including without limitation using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain extensions of time to assume or reject the Ground Lease under Subsection 365(d) of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent it is applicable.
(G)If the Borrowers or the applicable Ground Lessor seeks to reject any Ground Lease or have the Ground Lease deemed rejected, then prior to the hearing on such rejection the Lender shall, subject to applicable law, be given no less than twenty (20) days’ notice and opportunity to elect in lieu of rejection to have the Ground Lease assumed and assigned to a nominee of the Lender. If the Lender shall so elect to assume and assign the Ground Lease, then the Borrowers shall, subject to applicable law, continue any request to reject the Ground Lease until after the motion to assume and assign has been heard. If the Lender shall not elect to assume and assign the Ground Lease, then the Lender may, subject to applicable law, obtain in connection with the rejection of the Ground Lease a determination that the applicable Ground Lessor, at the Lender’s option, shall (1) agree to terminate the Ground Lease and enter into a new lease with the Lender on the same terms and conditions as the Ground Lease, for the
‑77‑
remaining term of the Ground Lease, or (2) treat the Ground Lease as breached and provide the Lender with the rights to cure defaults under the Ground Lease and to assume the rights and benefits of the Ground Lease.
Each Borrower shall join with and support any request by the Lender to grant and approve the foregoing as necessary for adequate protection of the Lender’s interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender may seek additional terms and conditions, including such economic and monetary protections as it deems reasonably appropriate to adequately protect its interests, and any request for such additional terms or conditions shall not delay or limit the Lender’s right to receive the specific elements of adequate protection set forth herein.
Each Borrower hereby appoints the Lender as its attorney in fact to act on behalf of the Lender in connection with all matters relating to or arising out of the assumption or rejection of any Ground Lease, in which the other party to the lease is a debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy Code. This grant of power of attorney is present, unconditional, irrevocable, durable and coupled with an interest.
Section 5.22Easements.
(A)Modification. Except as provided in this Section 5.22, the Borrowers shall not modify or amend any material substantive or economic terms of, or, subject to the terms of Section 11.5, terminate or surrender any Easement, in each case without the prior written consent of the Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any such attempted or purported material modification, amendment, or any surrender or termination of any Easement without the Lender’s prior written consent shall be null and void and of no force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Borrowers shall be permitted, without the Lender’s consent, to:
(i)(a) extend the terms of the Easement, add renewal terms or option periods, relocate or correct the Easement, in each case on commercially reasonable substantive and economic terms, and (b) convert any Easement Site to an Owned Site or Ground Lease Site, in each case, during a Special Servicing Period, with the Servicer’s consent;
(ii)terminate or assign any Easement which the Borrowers reasonably deem necessary in accordance with prudent business practices, provided that (a) the Borrowers provide written notice to the Lender of such determination not later than thirty (30) days prior to such termination or assignment, (b) together with such notice the Borrowers provide supporting information reasonably acceptable to the Lender that immediately following such termination or assignment the Debt Service Coverage Ratio will be equal to or greater than the Debt Service Coverage Ratio immediately prior to such termination or assignment, (c) the Borrowers provide to the Lender either (x) Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such termination or assignment or (y) together with such notice to the Lender evidence in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender that (1) the aggregate Allocated Loan Amount of all Sites affected by the termination or assignment and each such Site for which a termination has occurred under this Section 5.22(A), Section 5.9 and Section 5.21(A) since, if such termination or assignment is occurring (A) prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date, April 16, 2010, or (B) on or after the Second Amendment Effective Date, the date of the Loan Increase relating to the then-outstanding Component that has been outstanding for

Section 6.5Cash Trap Reserve. If a Cash Trap Condition shall occur, then, from and after the date that it is determined that a Cash Trap Condition has occurred (which shall be based upon the financial reporting required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(A)(iv)) and for so long as such Cash Trap Condition continues to exist, all Excess Cash Flow (except as otherwise expressly provided below) shall be deposited with the Lender (or its Servicer or agent) and held in the Central Account in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement (said funds, together with any interest thereon, the “Cash Trap Reserve”). A “Cash Trap Condition” shall exist at such time as the Lender determines that as of last day of any calendar quarter the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is equal to or less than the Cash Trap DSCR, and shall continue to exist until the Lender determines that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio exceeds the Cash Trap DSCR for two (2) consecutive calendar quarters. Upon the commencement of an Amortization Period, the Lender will apply any amounts in the Cash Trap Reserve on the next Due Date (i) first, to the reimbursement or payment of the Trustee and the Servicer for any amounts due to the Trustee or the Servicer on such Due Date and (ii) second, in the manner provided in Section 3.3(a) of the Cash Management Agreement for Available Funds.

‑85‑
Management Agreement for Available Funds. Any funds on deposit in the Cash Trap Reserve shall continue to be held as additional Collateral in accordance with this Section 6.5.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, during a Cash Trap Condition or an Amortization Period the Lender may apply Excess Cash Flow or amounts in the Cash Trap Reserve to the payment of contingent earn-out obligations of the Borrowers, or to pay amounts payable by the Borrowers to Tenants on account of rent payable by third-party co-location sub-tenants who sublease Site Space at Sites, in the Lender’s sole discretion.

Any such actions taken by the Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as the Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of the Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to the Lender shall remain in full force and effect until the Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against each Site and the Deeds of Trust have been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full.
(B)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Deeds of Trust in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Deeds of Trust then due and payable as determined by the Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event the Borrowers default beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, the Lender may foreclose the Deed of Trust to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event the Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, the Lender may foreclose the Deed of Trust or any of them to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as the Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Deed of Trust as the Lender may elect.

The Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Lender from time to time, within ten (10) days after the request of the Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as the Lender shall reasonably request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender. The Borrowers hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint the Lender as their true and lawful
‑91‑
attorney‑in‑fact, coupled with an interest, in their name and xxxxx to make and execute all documents reasonably necessary to effect the aforesaid severance if the Borrowers fail to do so within ten (10) days of the Lender’s written request, the Borrowers ratifying all that their said attorney‑in‑fact shall do by virtue thereof.
(D)Any amounts recovered from the Sites or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by the Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as the Lender in its sole discretion shall determine, provided that any payments applied to interest or principal of the Loan shall be made in accordance with the priority set forth in items (iii) and (iv) through (xi) of Section 3.3(a) of the Cash Management Agreement.
(E)The rights, powers and remedies of the Lender under this Loan Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which the Lender may have against the Borrowers pursuant to this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as the Lender may determine in the Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to the Borrowers shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by the Borrowers or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
Section 8.3Performance by Lender. (A) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if any of the Borrowers shall fail to perform, or cause to be performed, any material covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents (subject to applicable notice and cure periods), the Lender may perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrowers including making protective advances on behalf of any Borrower, or, in its sole discretion, causing the obligations of any of the Borrowers to be satisfied with the proceeds of any Reserve. In such event, the Borrowers shall, at the request of the Lender, promptly pay to the Lender, or reimburse, as applicable, any of the Reserves, any actual amount reasonably expended or disbursed by the Lender in such performance or attempted performance, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (including reimbursement of any applicable Reserves), from the date of such expenditure or disbursement, until paid. Any amounts advanced or expended by the Lender to perform or attempt to perform any such matter shall be added to and included within the indebtedness evidenced by the applicable Notes and shall be secured by all of the Collateral securing the applicable Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that the Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any obligation of the Borrowers under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, and it is further expressly agreed that no such performance by the Lender shall cure any Event of Default hereunder.

Waiving Party (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to the obligations of the other Borrower Parties; (ii) waives any right to enforce any remedy that the Lender now has or may hereafter have against any of the other Borrower Parties, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of such obligations or any other person; and (iii) waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Lender to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of such obligations or any other liability of the other parties to the Lender.

Section 14.21Counterparts; Effectiveness.
This Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents and any amendments or supplements thereto may be executed in any 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 Loan Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto.
Section 14.22Servicer.
The Lender shall have the right from time to time to designate and appoint a Servicer and special servicer, and to change or replace any Servicer or special servicer. Provided that the Borrowers have been notified of such Servicer’s role, all rights of the Lender hereunder may be exercised by Servicer on behalf of the Lender. The Lender shall notify the Borrowers in writing as to the identity of the Servicer and any special servicer. The Lender acknowledges Midland Loan Services, a division of PNC Bank, National Association, as initial Servicer for the Trust with the right to act on behalf of the Lender in the Securitization. The Trustee shall have no liability for the performance of the obligations of the Servicer, including, without limitation, for any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Servicer on behalf of the Lender hereunder.
Section 14.23Obligations of Borrower Parties.
The Borrower Parties other than the Borrowers are parties to this Loan Agreement only with regard to the representations, warranties, and covenants specifically applicable to them.
Section 14.24Additional Inspections; Reports.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Loan Agreement to the contrary, if for any reason whatsoever the Lender suspects that any conditions exist or may exist at any Site which might have a Material Adverse Effect, the Lender shall have the right, at the Borrowers’ sole reasonable cost and expense, to cause such inspections and reports to be prepared and performed with respect to any Site as the Lender shall reasonably determine.
Section 14.25Cross‑Default; Cross‑Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.
(A) Each of the Borrowers acknowledges that the Lender has made the Loan to each of the Borrowers upon the security of the Sites and the Other Company Collateral and in reliance upon the aggregate value of the Sites and the Other Company Collateral taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each such Site and each of the Borrowers’ interests in the Company Collateral taken separately. Each of the Borrowers agrees that the Deeds of Trusts and other security agreements given hereunder are and will be cross‑collateralized and cross‑defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the Deeds of Trusts and the other security agreements given hereunder which secure the Notes; (ii) subject to any limitations contained therein, each Deed of Trust and the other security agreements given hereunder shall constitute
‑127‑
security for the Notes as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Sites and the Other Company Collateral as security for the Notes; and (iii) such cross‑collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.
(A)To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Borrowers, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of each of the Borrowers, each of the Borrower’s members and others with interests in each of the Borrowers, and of the Sites and the Other Company Collateral, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Deeds of Trusts or the Other Company Collateral, 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 the Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Sites and the Other Company Collateral for the collection of the Loan without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of the Lender to the payment of the Loan out of the net proceeds of the Sites and the Other Company Collateral in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, each of the Borrowers, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Deeds of Trusts or Other Company Collateral, any equitable right otherwise available to each of the Borrowers which would require the separate sale of the Sites and the Other Company Collateral or require the Lender to exhaust its remedies against any such Sites and the Other Company Collateral or any combination of the Sites and the Other Company Collateral before proceeding against any other Sites and the Other Company Collateral or combination of Sites and the Other Company Collateral; and further in the event of such foreclosure each of the Borrowers do hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of the Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Sites and the Other Company Collateral.
Section 14.26Waiver of Rating Agency Confirmation
. Any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation made by a Borrower, the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable (such requesting party, the “Requesting Party”), to Moody’s on or after the Second Amendment Effective Date pursuant to this Loan Agreement shall be made in accordance with the following provisions:
(A)Any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation made by a Requesting Party shall (i) be made in writing, which writing shall include electronic mail, (ii) contain a cover page indicating the nature of the request for Rating Agency Confirmation and all back-up material necessary for Moody’s to process such request, and (iii) be provided by the Requesting Party in electronic format to 00xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx (the “Authorized Representative”) who shall post such request on the 17g-5 Website (the “Initial Request”). If the Requesting Party is a Borrower or the Trustee, such Requesting Party shall also provide a copy of the Initial Request to the Servicer.
(B)If Moody’s has not replied to an Initial Request or has responded to an Initial Request in a manner that indicates that Xxxxx’x is neither reviewing the request for Rating Agency Confirmation nor waiving the requirement for such Rating Agency Confirmation within ten (10) Business Days of the making of such Initial Request, the Requesting Party shall:
‑128‑
(i)confirm, through direct communication and not by posting a request for a Rating Agency Confirmation on the 17g-5 Website, that Moody’s has received such Initial Request, and, if it has not, promptly make a second request to Moody’s for Rating Agency Confirmation (the “Second Request”); and
(ii)if there is no response by Moody’s to such Initial Request or such Second Request within five (5) Business Days of the making of such Second Request or if Moody’s has responded to such Initial Request or such Second Request in a manner that indicates that Xxxxx’x is neither reviewing the request for Rating Agency Confirmation nor waiving the requirement for such Rating Agency Confirmation, then such Requesting Party shall confirm (without providing notice to the Authorized Representative), by direct communication and not by posting a request for Rating Agency Confirmation on the 17g-5 Website, that Moody’s has received such Second Request.
If a Requesting Party provides the requests for a Rating Agency Confirmation to Moody’s in the manner and at the times provided for in this Section 14.26, it shall be deemed to have made good faith efforts to request such Rating Agency Confirmation from Moody’s.
