mean $70,000,000.00 as established pursuant to an appraisal dated as of
January 8, 2010, prepared by Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx (“Original Appraisal”) which has
been accepted by Lender, as such Value of the Property may hereafter be changed
either by an update to the Original Appraisal or by a new appraisal in each case
as ordered by and acceptable to Lender pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. Lender may require an appraisal at any time when there is
a Default or continuing Event of Default hereunder, but otherwise Lender shall
not require an appraisal more frequently than once per year. The fees
and expenses of obtaining any updated appraisal shall be paid by Lender, except
if (i) an Event of Default then exists, or (ii) there is a Default by Borrower
for failing to satisfy any monetary obligation or the Debt Service Covenant
hereunder; and in the event of an occurrence under Subclause (i) or (ii), the
reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Lender in obtaining an
appraisal shall be paid by Borrower. The Borrower covenants and
agrees that the “as-is” Loan-to-Value Ratio shall not be greater than 65% (the
“LTV
Covenant”).
9.18.2 Breach of LTV
Covenant/Cure. In the event that any Appraisal obtained by
Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement reveals an Appraised Value which
would result in a breach of the LTV Covenant, Lender shall promptly notify
Borrower. Borrower shall have the right to cure the breach of the LTV
Covenant by making a prepayment of principal under the Note sufficient to
restore the LTV Covenant. If Borrower elects so to cure, it shall
notify Lender of such election (“Borrower’s LTV Cure Notice”)
within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of Lender’s notice and shall
make the applicable prepayment within twenty (20) days after the date of
Borrower’s LTV Cure Notice. In the event Borrower disputes the
Appraised Value obtained by Lender, Borrower shall so state in Borrower’s LTV
Cure Notice, in which event the applicable prepayment amount shall be retained
by Lender in escrow pending final resolution of the Appraised
Value. If Borrower disputes Lender’s determination of Appraised
Value, Borrower and Lender shall promptly meet to discuss Borrower’s
objections. If the parties cannot agree on the Appraised Value within
ten (10) Business Days following the date of Borrower’s LTV Cure Notice, within
forty-five (45) Business Days thereafter, Borrower, at its sole cost and
expense, shall have the right to submit its own appraisal performed by a
Qualified Appraiser for Lender’s consideration. If Lender determines,
based on Borrower’s appraisal, or other information submitted by Borrower, that
Borrower’s determination of the Value of Property (i) does not result in a
breach in the LTV Covenant, the funds held by Lender shall be returned to
Borrower, or (ii) results in a lesser paydown amount being required to cure
Borrower’s LTV Covenant, the cure amount required shall be retained by Lender
and the excess refunded to Borrower. In all other events, such funds
shall be applied to the payment of the Loan. Lender’s determination
of the Value of the Property shall be made in the Lender’s reasonable judgment
acting in good faith, and in accordance with sound appraisal practice and all
bank requirements to which Lender is subject, including, without limitation,
those imposed under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement
Act of 1989. So long as Lender has acted in good faith in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 9.18.2, Lender’s determination of
the Value of the Property shall be final and shall not be subject to further
review or challenge by Borrower. In the event of any prepayment of
the Loan under this Section 9.18.2, there shall be no change in the amount
of the scheduled installment payments under the Note. The provisions
of this Section 9.18.2 shall not apply, and there shall be no cure right,
if there is any continuing Event of Default at the time of the breach of the LTV
Covenant.
9.18.3 Debt Service
Coverage. The Borrower covenants and agrees that the Debt
Service Coverage Ratio shall not at any time be less than 1.25 to 1.0 on a
trailing twelve-month basis (“Debt Service
Covenant”). Borrower’s Debt Service Covenant shall be tested
quarterly and Borrower shall provide Lender with a Compliance Certificate, in
form of Exhibit D
annexed hereto as soon as available and in any event within forty-five (45) days
after the close of each calendar quarter of Borrower’s fiscal year, and annually
together with the submission of the annual statements required pursuant to
Section 9.2.1, which shall evidence compliance with Borrower’s Debt
Service Covenant.
9.18.4 Breach of Debt Service
Covenant/Cure. In the event of an actual or projected breach
of Borrower’s Debt Service Covenant, Borrower shall have the right to cure such
breach, provided there is then no other Default or Event of Default under any of
the Loan Documents, and subject to the following:
(i) If there
is any breach of Borrower’s Debt Service Covenant, Borrower may cure such breach
by paying to Lender on the date that Borrower’s Compliance Certificate
evidencing such breach is submitted to Lender an amount equal to six (6) months’
debt service next becoming due and payable under the Note at the time of such
breach (the “Paydown
Amount”) which amount shall be applied by Lender to the payment of
principal due under the Note without any change in the scheduled installment
payments set forth in the Note. Notwithstanding the fact that
installments of principal and interest under the Note are payable quarterly, the
Paydown Amount shall be calculated based on six (6) full calendar months of
principal and interest using the 25-year amortization schedule set forth in the
Note. Borrower’s cure right set forth in this Section 9.18.4 (i) may
not be exercised more than twice during the term of the Loan. The
payment of the Paydown Amount, shall be deemed to cure the breach of Borrower’s
Debt Service Covenant for two (2) successive calendar quarters beginning with
the calendar quarter in which the breach of Borrower’s Debt Service Covenant
first occurred;
OR
(ii) If the
Debt Service Coverage Ratio falls below 1.25 to 1.0, but is greater than 1.0 to
1.0, Borrower may cure such breach by depositing with Lender the “Cure Amount.” The
Cure Amount shall be an amount which if applied to the principal balance of the
Loan outstanding at the time of Borrower’s breach of its Debt Service Covenant
assuming that the outstanding balance of the Note was then recalculated to
amortize for 25 years at the interest specified in the Note from the date of
Borrower’s breach would result in debt service payments such that a 1.25 to 1.0
Debt Service Coverage Ratio would be achieved based on the trailing twelve month
Net Operating Income the time of the breach. Provided there is then
no Default or Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, the Cure Amount
will be returned to Borrower once a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.25
to 1.0 has been achieved for at least two (2) consecutive calendar quarters
based on the original amortization schedule set forth in the Note, as evidenced
by Borrower’s Compliance Certificates;
(iii) In
addition, if at the time of any breach of Borrower’s Debt Service Covenant, all
or any part of the Cash Reserve has been released, Borrower’s right to cure such
breach under Section 9.18.4 (i) or Section 9.18.4 (ii) in each case shall be
conditioned on Borrower depositing with Lender an amount sufficient to restore
the Cash Reserve to the amount of Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000.00);
(iv) Nothing
contained in this Section 9.18 shall be deemed to waive any other breach or
Default under the Loan Documents or be deemed to modify the payment schedule set
forth in the Note.
9.19 Replacement
Documentation. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer
of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note or any
other security document which is not of public record, and, in the case of any
such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of
such Note or other security document, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a
replacement Note or other security document in the same principal amount thereof
and otherwise of like tenor.
9.20 Compliance with
Anti-Terrorism, Embargo, Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering
Laws. Borrower shall comply with all Laws relating to money
laundering, anti-terrorism, trade embargos and economic sanctions, now or
hereafter in effect. Upon Lender’s request from time to time during
the term of the Loan, Borrower shall certify in writing to Lender that
Borrower’s representations, warranties and obligations under Section 8.19 and
this Section 9.20 remain true and correct and have not been
breached. Borrower shall immediately notify Lender in writing if any
of such representations, warranties or covenants are no longer true or have been
breached or if Borrower has a reasonable basis to believe that they may no
longer be true or have been breached. In connection with such an
event, Borrower shall comply with all Legal Requirements and directives of
governmental authorities and, at Lender’s request, provide to Lender copies of
all notices, reports and other communications exchanged with, or received from,
governmental authorities relating to such an event. Borrower shall
also reimburse Lender any expenses incurred by Lender in evaluating the effect
of such an event on the Loan and Lender’s interest in the collateral for the
Loan, in obtaining any necessary license from governmental authorities as may be
necessary for Lender to enforce its rights under the Loan Documents, and in
complying with all Legal Requirements applicable to Lenders as the result of the
existence of such an event and for any penalties or fines imposed upon Lender as
a result thereof.
9.21 Cambridgeside Galleria
Garage Lease. The lease between the Trustees of Riverside
Galleria Associates Trust as landlord and the Trust as tenant dated as of
December 30, 1986, as amended (the “Cambridgeside Galleria Garage
Lease”) giving Borrower the right to park up to 150 cars in the Garage,
as defined in Cambridgeside Galleria Garage Lease is in full force and effect
with no defaults thereunder or deficiencies in the performance of obligations
thereunder and no amendment or modifications not previously approved by
Lender. All of the parties to the Cambridgeside Galleria Garage Lease
are in full compliance with their respective obligations
thereunder. Borrower shall not (i) modify the Cambridgeside Galleria
Garage Lease without Lender’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably
withheld, or (ii) consent to, or cause the termination of, the Cambridgeside
Galleria Garage Lease without Lender’s express consent which Lender may grant or

it is agreed that any tax, assessment, charge, levy, claim or obligation to a
third party (expressly excluding an obligation created under the Loan Documents)
need not be paid while the validity or amount thereof shall be contested
currently, diligently and in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if
Borrower shall have adequate unencumbered (except in favor of Lender) cash
reserves with respect thereto, and provided that such contest does not create a
default by landlord under any lease assigned to Lender; and provided, further,
that Borrower shall pay all taxes, assessments, charges, levies or obligations:
(i) promptly upon the commencement of proceedings to enforce any lien which may
have attached as security therefor, unless such proceeding is stayed by proper
court order pending the outcome of such contest; and (ii) as to claims for
labor, materials or supplies, prior to the imposition of any lien on the
Property unless the lien is discharged or bonded as set forth in Section
11.1.4.
10.1.2 Laws. Borrower
may contest any claim, demand, levy or assessment under any Laws by any person
or entity if: (i) the contest is based upon a material question of
law or fact raised by Borrower in good faith; (ii) Borrower properly commences
and thereafter diligently pursues the contest; (iii) the contest will not
materially impair the ability to ultimately comply with the contested Legal
Requirement should the contest not be successful and the conduct of the contest
will not materially interfere with the ability to obligate all tenants under
Acceptable Leases to pay rent without offset; (iv) Borrower demonstrates to
Lender’s reasonable satisfaction that Borrower has the financial capability to
undertake and pay for such contest and any corrective or remedial action then or
thereafter reasonably likely to be necessary; (v) no Default exists; and (vi) if
the contest relates to Environmental Laws, the conditions set forth in the
Environmental Indemnity relating to such contests shall be
satisfied.

Interest. Borrower grants to Lender, a direct and continuing
lien and security interest, as security for all of Borrower’s obligations in and

from any affiliate of Lender to Borrower including, but not limited to, any cash
collateral pledged to Lender pursuant to any provision of the Loan
Documents.
13.2 Set-Off and Debit.

property of Borrower; then, in any such event, any such deposits, balances or
other sums credited by or due from Lender or from any such affiliate of Lender
to Borrower may to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law at any
time or from time to time, without regard to the existence, sufficiency or
adequacy of any other collateral, and without notice or compliance with any
other condition precedent now or hereafter imposed by statute, rule of law or
otherwise, all of which are hereby waived, be set off, debited and appropriated,
and applied by Lender against any or all of Borrower’s obligations irrespective
of whether demand shall have been made and although such Obligations may be
unmatured, in such manner as Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may
determine. Within five (5) Business Days of making any such set off,
debit or appropriation and application, Lender agrees to notify Borrower
thereof, provided the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity
of such set off, debit or appropriation and application.

Freeze. The Lender shall also have the right, at its option,
upon the occurrence of any event which would entitle the Lender to set off or
debit as set forth in Section 13.2, to freeze, block or segregate any such

15.10 Claims Against
Lender.

Notify. The Lender shall not be in default under this
Agreement, or under any other Loan Document, unless a written notice
specifically setting forth the claim of Borrower shall have been given to Lender
within ninety (90) days after Borrower first had actual knowledge or actual
notice of the occurrence of the event which Borrower alleges gave rise to such
claim and the Lender does not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, with
reasonable promptness thereafter. Such actual knowledge or actual
notice shall refer to what was actually known by, or expressed in a written
notification furnished to, any of the persons or officials referred to in
Exhibit C as Authorized Representatives.
15.10.2 Remedies. If
it is determined by the final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, which
is not subject to further appeal, that Lender has breached any of its
obligations under the Loan Documents and has not remedied or cured the same with
reasonable promptness following notice thereof, Lender’s responsibilities shall
be limited to: (i) where the breach consists of the failure to grant consent or
give approval in violation of the terms and requirements of a Loan Document, the
obligation to grant such consent or give such approval and to pay Borrower’s
reasonable costs and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys, fees and disbursements in connection with such court proceedings; and
(ii) in the case of any such failure to grant such consent or give such
approval, or in the case of any other such default by Lender, where it is also
so determined that Lender acted in bad faith, or that Lender’s default
constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct, the payment of any actual,
direct, compensatory damages sustained by Borrower as a result thereof plus
Borrower’s reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements in connection with such court
proceedings.
15.10.3 Limitations. In no event, however, shall Lender be
liable to Borrower or anyone else for other damages such as, but not limited to,

anyone else unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of
Borrower shall have been given to Lender within the time period specified
above.
15.11 Obligations
Absolute. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law
which cannot be waived, the Obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents
shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents under all circumstances
whatsoever, including, without limitation, the existence of any claim, set off,
defense or other right which Borrower may have at any time against Lender
whether in connection with the Loan or any unrelated transaction.
15.12 Table of Contents, Title and
Headings. Any Table of Contents, the titles and the headings
of sections are not parts of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document and
shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any of their
provisions.
15.13 Counterparts. This
Loan Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which when
executed and delivered is an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one instrument. In making proof of this agreement, it
shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart
which is executed by the party against whom enforcement of such loan agreement
is sought.
15.14 Satisfaction of Term
Sheet. The funding of the entire Loan being made pursuant to
the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents is being made in satisfaction
of Lender’s obligations under the Term Sheet dated December 14, 2009 (the
“Term Sheet”). The terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents supersede the provisions of the Term
Sheet.
15.15 Participations. At
any time and from time to time and without Borrower’s or Guarantor’s consent,
the Lender (and any Bank) may sell participations to one or more banks or other
entities in all or a portion of the Lender's (or Bank’s) rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any such
sale of participations shall not affect the rights and duties of the Lender (or
Bank) hereunder to the Borrower and (b) the only rights granted to the
participant pursuant to such participation arrangements with respect to waivers,
amendments or modifications of the Loan Documents shall be the right to approve
waivers, amendments or modifications that would reduce the principal of or the
interest rate on the Loan, extend the term or increase the amount of the Loan or
extend any regularly scheduled payment date for principal or
interest.
15.16 Assignments. The
Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in
accordance with applicable Law, at any time assign the Loan, the Note and its
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to any
Qualified Assignee.
15.17 Time Of the
Essence. Time is of the essence of each provision of this
Agreement and each other Loan Document.
15.18 No Oral
Change. This Loan Agreement and each of the other Loan
Documents may only be amended, terminated, extended or otherwise modified by a
writing signed by the party against which enforcement is sought (except no such
writing shall be required for any party which, pursuant to a specific provision
of any Loan Document, is required to be bound by changes without such party’s
assent). In no event shall any oral agreements, promises, actions, inactions,
knowledge, course of conduct, course of dealings or the like be effective to
amend, terminate, extend or otherwise modify this Loan Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents.
15.19 Statements. While Lender may issue invoices or
other statements on a quarterly or other periodic basis (a “Statement”), it is
expressly acknowledged and agreed that: (i) the failure of Lender to issue any
Statement on one or more occasions shall not affect Borrower’s obligations to
make payments under the Loan Documents as and when due; (ii) the inaccuracy of
any Statement shall not be binding upon Lender and so Borrower shall always
remain obligated to pay the full amount(s) required under the Loan Documents as
and when due notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any
Statement provided, however, it shall not be an Event of Default hereunder if
such Statement is inaccurate and Borrower makes payment in accordance thereof as
long as Borrower upon receipt of a corrected Statement makes payment in
accordance with such corrected Statement; (iii) all Statements are issued for
information purposes only and shall never constitute any type of offer,
acceptance, modification, or waiver of the Loan Documents or any of Lender’s
rights or remedies thereunder; and (iv) in no event shall any Statement serve as
the basis for, or a component of, any course of dealing, course of conduct, or
trade practice which would modify, alter, or otherwise affect the express
written terms of the Loan Documents.
