other sums due under the Loan Documents (including the amounts due on the
Maturity Date) are not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date on which it is
due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of
five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate in order to
defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent
payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent
payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.3.5 METHOD AND PLACE OF PAYMENT. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement
and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City
time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United
States of America in immediately available funds at Lender's office or as
otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time
shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next
succeeding Business Day.
Section 2.4 Prepayments.
2.4.1 VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS. (a) Except as otherwise provided
in Section 2.4.2, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole
or in part prior to the Maturity Date; provided that on the Payment Date three
(3) months prior to the Maturity Date, or on any Payment Date thereafter (or on
any date thereafter provided that interest is paid through the next Payment
Date), Borrower may, at its option and upon thirty (30) days prior written
notice to Lender, prepay the Debt in whole or in part without payment of the
Yield Maintenance Premium. If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date
other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt,
all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and
including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment.
2.4.2 MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS. On the next occurring Payment
Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if
Lender is not obligated or does not elect to make such Net Proceeds available to
Borrower for the Restoration of the Property or otherwise remit such Net
Proceeds to Borrower pursuant to SECTION 6.4 hereof, Borrower shall prepay or
authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of all or a portion of
the outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with accrued interest and
any other sums due hereunder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of
such Net Proceeds; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Lender may
22
apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt (until paid in full) in any order or
priority in its sole discretion. Other than following an Event of Default, no
Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made
pursuant to this SECTION 2.4.2.
2.4.3 PREPAYMENTS AFTER DEFAULT. If following an Event of
Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or
otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender or recovery shall be (a) made on the
next occurring Payment Date together with the Monthly Debt Service Payment and
(b) deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition
against prepayment set forth in SECTION 2.4.1 hereof and Borrower shall pay, in
addition to the Debt, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium.
2.4.4 PREPAYMENT PRIOR TO DEFEASANCE EXPIRATION DATE. If the
Permitted Release Date has occurred but the Defeasance Expiration Date has not
occurred, the Debt may be prepaid in whole (but not in part) prior to the date
permitted under Section 2.4.1 hereof upon not less than thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date on which prepayment is to
be made (a "PREPAYMENT DATE") provided no Event of Default exists and upon
payment of an amount equal to the greater of (a) the Yield Maintenance Premium
and (b) one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of
the Prepayment Date. Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of
determination of the required prepayment consideration. If any notice of
prepayment is given, the Debt shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date.
Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the Debt unless it is
accompanied by the prepayment consideration due in connection therewith. If for
any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date,
Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would
have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the Payment Date
next occurring following the date of such prepayment.
Section 2.5 Defeasance.
2.5.1 VOLUNTARY DEFEASANCE. (a) Provided no Event of Default
shall then exist, Borrower shall have the right at any time after the Permitted
Release Date and prior to the date voluntarily prepayments are permitted under
Section 2.4.1 hereof to voluntarily defease all, but not part, of the Loan by
and upon satisfaction of the following conditions (such event being a
"DEFEASANCE EVENT"):
(i) Borrower shall provide not less than thirty (30) days
prior written notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date (the
"DEFEASANCE DATE") on which the Defeasance Event is to occur;
(ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all accrued and unpaid
interest on the principal balance of the Loan to and including the
Defeasance Date. If for any reason the Defeasance Date is not a Payment
Date, the Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on
the Note through and including the Payment Date immediately preceding
the next Payment Date, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if the Defeasance Deposit
shall include short-term interest computed from the date of such
prepayment through to the next succeeding Payment Date, Borrower shall
not be required to pay such short term interest pursuant to this
sentence;
23
(iii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all other sums, not
including scheduled interest or principal payments, then due under the
Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents;
(iv) Borrower shall pay to Lender the required Defeasance
Deposit for the Defeasance Event;
(v) Borrower shall execute and deliver a pledge and security
agreement, in form and substance that would be reasonably satisfactory

Deposit and the U.S. Obligations purchased with the Defeasance Deposit
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.5 (the "Security
Agreement");
(vi) Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel for
Borrower that is standard in commercial lending transactions and subject
only to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions opining,
among other things, that Borrower has legally and validly transferred
and assigned the U.S. Obligations and all obligations, rights and duties
under and to the Note to the Successor Borrower, that Lender has a
perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Deposit and
the U.S. Obligations delivered by Borrower and that any REMIC Trust
formed pursuant to a Securitization will not fail to maintain its status
as a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" within the meaning of
Section 860D of the Code as a result of such Defeasance Event;
(vii) Borrower shall deliver confirmation in writing from each
of the applicable Rating Agencies to the effect that such release will
not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the respective
ratings in effect immediately prior to such Defeasance Event for the
Securities issued in connection with the Securitization which are then
outstanding. If required by the applicable Rating Agencies, Borrower
shall also deliver or cause to be delivered an Additional Insolvency
Opinion with respect to the Successor Borrower in form and substance
satisfactory to Lender and the applicable Rating Agencies;
(viii) Borrower shall deliver an Officer's Certificate
certifying that the requirements set forth in this SECTION 2.5.1(A) have

independent certified public accountant certifying that the U.S.

documents or instruments as Lender may reasonably request; and

as provided in SECTION 2.6 hereof, (B) reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the Defeasance Event, (C) the costs
and expenses of the Rating Agencies, (D) any revenue, documentary
24
stamp or intangible taxes or any other tax or charge due in connection
with the transfer of the Note, or otherwise required to accomplish the
defeasance and (E) the costs and expenses of Servicer and any trustee,
including reasonable attorneys' fees.
(b) In connection with the Defeasance Event, Borrower shall
use the Defeasance Deposit to purchase U.S. Obligations which provide payments
on or prior to, but as close as possible to, all successive scheduled Payment
Dates after the Defeasance Date upon which interest and principal payments are
required under this Agreement and the Note, and in amounts equal to the
scheduled payments due on such dates under this Agreement and the Note
(including, without limitation, scheduled payments of principal, interest,
servicing fees (if any), and any other amounts due under the Loan Documents on
such Payment Dates) and assuming the Note is prepaid in full on the Anticipated
Repayment Date (the "SCHEDULED DEFEASANCE PAYMENTS"). Borrower, pursuant to the
Security Agreement or other appropriate document, shall authorize and direct
that the payments received from the U.S. Obligations may be made directly to the
Lockbox Account (unless otherwise directed by Lender) and applied to satisfy the
Debt Service obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Note. Any
portion of the Defeasance Deposit in excess of the amount necessary to purchase
the U.S. Obligations required by this Section 2.5 and satisfy Borrower's other
obligations under this SECTION 2.5 and SECTION 2.6 shall be remitted to
Borrower.
2.5.2 COLLATERAL. Each of the U.S. Obligations that are part
of the defeasance collateral shall be duly endorsed by the holder thereof as
directed by Lender or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
and substance that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender (including, without
limitation, such instruments as may be required by the depository institution
holding such securities or by the issuer thereof, as the case may be, to
effectuate book-entry transfers and pledges through the book-entry facilities of
such institution) in order to perfect upon the delivery of the defeasance
collateral a first priority security interest therein in favor of Lender in
conformity with all applicable state and federal laws governing the granting of
such security interests.
2.5.3 SUCCESSOR BORROWER. In connection with any Defeasance
Event, Borrower may at its option, or if so required by the applicable Rating
Agencies shall, establish or designate a successor entity (the "SUCCESSOR
BORROWER") acceptable to Lender, which shall be a Special Purpose Entity and
Borrower shall transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and
to the Note, together with the pledged U.S. Obligations to such Successor
Borrower. Such Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations under the Note
and the Security Agreement and Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations
under such documents. Borrower shall pay One Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
($1,000) to any such Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming the
obligations under the Note and the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, no other assumption fee shall be payable upon
a transfer of the Note in accordance with this SECTION 2.5.3, but Borrower shall
pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including Lender's attorneys'
fees and expenses and any fees and expenses of any Rating Agencies, incurred in
connection therewith.
Section 2.6 RELEASE OF PROPERTY. Except as set forth in this Section 2.6
or Section 6.4(e) or a prepayment of the entire Loan pursuant to Section 2.4.2,
no repayment, prepayment or defeasance of all or any portion of the Loan shall

Property. If the entire Loan has been prepaid pursuant to Section 2.4.2,
Borrower has elected to prepay the entire amount of the Loan pursuant to Section

source of collateral securing the Note.
(b) In connection with the release of the Mortgage, Borrower
shall submit to Lender, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Defeasance
Date, a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for the Property for

jurisdiction in which the Property is located and that would be satisfactory to
a prudent lender and contains standard provisions, if any, protecting the rights
of the releasing lender . In addition, Borrower shall provide all other
documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in
connection with such release, together with an Officer's Certificate certifying
that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and

whatsoever.

instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower's property
or assets is subject, nor to Borrower's Knowledge will such action result in any
violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of
any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over Borrower or
any of Borrower's properties or assets, and any consent, approval,
authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any
such regulatory authority or other governmental agency or body required for the
execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other
Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.1.4 LITIGATION. To Borrower's Knowledge, there are no
actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental
Authority or other agency now pending or threatened against or affecting
Borrower or the Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined
against Borrower or the Property, might materially adversely affect the
condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower or the condition or
ownership of the Property.
4.1.5 AGREEMENTS. Except such instruments and agreements set
forth as Permitted Exceptions in the Title Insurance Policy, Borrower is not a
party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might
materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower's
business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise.
To Borrower's Knowledge, Borrower is not in default in any material respect in
the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants
or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or
by which Borrower or the Property are bound. Borrower has no material financial
obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other
agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the
Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary
course of the operation of the Property and (b) obligations under the Loan
Documents.
4.1.6 TITLE. Borrower has good and indefeasible fee simple
title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the
balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the
Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan
Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. To Borrower's Knowledge,
there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the
Property which are due and unpaid under the contracts pursuant to which such
work or labor was performed or materials provided which are or may become a lien
prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
4.1.7 SOLVENCY; NO BANKRUPTCY FILING. Borrower (a) has not
entered into the transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other
Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor
and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations
under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of
Borrower's assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the
Loan, exceed Borrower's total liabilities, including, without limitation,
subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair
saleable value of Borrower's assets is and will, immediately following the
making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower's probable
33
liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its
debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower's assets do not and,
immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably
small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be
conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur
debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments)
beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into
account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the
amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). Except as
expressly disclosed to Lender in writing, no petition in bankruptcy has been
filed against Borrower, or to Borrower's Knowledge, any constituent Person in
the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower, nor to Borrower's Knowledge, any
constituent Person in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for
the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the
benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any of its constituent Persons are
contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal
bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of
Borrower's assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person
contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such constituent
Persons.
4.1.8 FULL AND ACCURATE DISCLOSURE. To Borrower's Knowledge,
no statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other
Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein
not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has
not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects the Property or the
business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.

one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In

to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with
respect to, governmental plans similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise
restrict the transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement. 4.1.10

and reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Property or the
operation thereof as an office building, except as referred to or reflected in

Property (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees
with Lender that:
5.1.1 EXISTENCE; COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS;
INSURANCE. Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights,
licenses, permits and franchises and comply with all Legal Requirements
applicable to it and the Property. Borrower shall not commit, nor shall Borrower
permit or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use
of the Property to commit any act or omission affording the federal government
or any state or local government the right of forfeiture as against the Property
or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower's obligations
under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to
commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of
forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all its
franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used
or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep the Property in good
working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all
reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and
improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Mortgage. Borrower shall
keep the Property insured at all times by financially sound and reputable
insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and such
other insurance, as is more fully provided in this Agreement. After prior
written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by
appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and
with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of
any Legal Requirement to Borrower or the Property or any alleged violation of
any Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and
remains uncured; (ii) intentionally omitted; (iii) such proceeding shall be
permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any
instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default
thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all
applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iv) the Property or any part thereof
or interest therein will not be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated,
cancelled or lost; (v) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof
comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or
cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (vi) such proceeding shall suspend
the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower or the
Property; and (vii) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in
the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such
Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable
41
in connection therewith. Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to
cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable
judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal
Requirement is finally established or the Property (or any part thereof or
interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated,
cancelled or lost.
5.1.2 TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES. Borrower shall pay or cause to
be paid all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or
imposed against the Property or any part thereof as the same become due and
payable; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, Borrower's obligation to directly pay to the
appropriate taxing authority Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower
complies with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof. Borrower will
deliver to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender
that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent no
later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Taxes and/or Other
Charges would otherwise be delinquent if not paid (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the
event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof).
If Borrower pays or causes to be paid all Taxes and Other Charges and provides a
copy of the receipt evidencing the payment thereof to Lender, then Lender shall
reimburse Borrower, provided that there are then sufficient proceeds in the Tax
and Insurance Escrow Fund and provided that the Taxes are being paid pursuant to
Section 7.2. Upon written request of Borrower, if Lender has paid such Taxes
pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, Lender shall provide Borrower with evidence that
such Taxes have been paid. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to
be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a
Lien or charge against the Property, and shall promptly pay for all utility
services provided to the Property. After prior written notice to Lender,
Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding,
promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the
amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other
Charges, provided that (i) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions
of any mortgage or deed of trust superior in lien to the Mortgage; (ii) such
proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the
provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not
constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in
accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) the Property
nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold,
forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon
final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges,
together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in
connection therewith; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such
contested Taxes or Other Charges from the Property; and (vi) Borrower shall
furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be
reasonably requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other
Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon. Lender may pay over
any such cash deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled
thereto at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the entitlement
of such claimant is established.

to submit to Lender an Annual Budget not later than thirty (30) days after the
commencement of such period or Fiscal Year in form reasonably satisfactory to
Lender. If a Cash Trap Event Period exists, the Annual Budget shall be subject
to Lender's written approval (each such Annual Budget, an "APPROVED ANNUAL
BUDGET"). In the event that Lender objects to a proposed Annual Budget submitted
by Borrower during a Cash Trap Event Period, Lender shall advise Borrower of
such objections within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to
Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower
shall promptly revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to Lender. Lender
shall advise Borrower of any objections to such revised Annual Budget within ten

the Mortgage encumbering the Property in which proceeding Lender is made a
party, or (c) of the bankruptcy, insolvency, rehabilitation or other similar

approve or disapprove any such Lease within ten (10) Business Days of Lender's
receipt of a final execution draft of such Lease (including all exhibits,
schedules, supplements, addenda or other agreements relating thereto) and a
written notice from Borrower requesting Lender's approval to such Lease, and
such Lease shall be deemed approved, if Lender does not disapprove such Lease
within said ten (10) Business Day period PROVIDED such written notice
conspicuously states, in large bold type, that "PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.1.20 OF
THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THE LEASE SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED IF LENDER DOES NOT
RESPOND TO THE CONTRARY WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF LENDER'S RECEIPT OF
SUCH LEASE AND WRITTEN NOTICE". Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed
copies of all Leases. All renewals of Leases and all proposed Leases shall
provide for rental rates comparable to existing local market rates (unless such
rental rates are otherwise set forth in the Leases executed prior to the Closing
Date). All proposed Leases shall be on commercially reasonable terms and shall
not contain any terms which would materially affect Lender's rights under the
Loan Documents. All Leases executed after the Closing Date shall provide that
they are subordinate to the Mortgage encumbering the Property and that the
tenant thereunder agrees to attorn to Lender or any purchaser at a sale by
foreclosure or power of sale. Borrower (i) shall observe and perform the
obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially
reasonable manner; (ii) shall enforce the terms, covenants and conditions
contained in the Leases upon the part of the tenant thereunder to be observed or
performed in a commercially reasonable manner and in a manner not to impair
47
the value of the Property involved except that no termination by Borrower or
acceptance of surrender by a tenant of any Lease shall be permitted unless by
reason of a tenant default and then only in a commercially reasonable manner to

than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not
execute any other assignment of lessor's interest in the Leases or the Rents
(except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (v) shall not alter, modify or
change the terms of the Leases in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of
the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent
may be withheld in the sole discretion of Lender; and (vi) shall execute and
deliver at the request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and
assignment in connection with the Leases as Lender shall from time to time
reasonably require. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may, without the
prior written consent of Lender, terminate any Lease which demises less than the
Relevant Leasing Threshold under any of the following circumstances: (i) the
tenant under said Lease is in default beyond any applicable grace and cure
period, and Borrower has the right to terminate such Lease; (ii) such
termination is permitted by the terms of the Lease in question and Borrower has
secured an obligation from a third party to lease the space under the Lease to
be terminated at a rental equal to or higher than the rental due under the Lease
to be terminated; and (iii) if the tenant under the Lease to be terminated, has
executed a right under said Lease to terminate its lease upon payment of a
termination fee to Borrower, and has in fact terminated its lease and paid said
fee, Borrower may accept said termination.
5.1.21 ALTERATIONS. Subject to the rights of tenants to make
alterations pursuant to the terms of their respective Leases, Borrower shall
obtain Lender's prior written consent to any alterations to any Improvements,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed except with respect
to alterations that may have a material adverse effect on Borrower's financial
condition, the value of the Property or the Net Operating Income.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender's consent shall not be required in
connection with any alterations that will not have a material adverse effect on
Borrower's financial condition, the value of the Property or the Net Operating
Income, provided that such alterations are made in connection with (a) tenant
improvement work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease executed on or
before the Closing Date, (b) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the
terms and provisions of a Lease and not adversely affecting any structural
component of any Improvements, any utility or HVAC system contained in any
Improvements or the exterior of any building constituting a part of any
Improvements, (c) alterations performed in connection with the restoration of
the Property after the occurrence of a casualty in accordance with the terms and
provisions of this Agreement or (d) any structural alteration which costs less
than $500,000 in the aggregate for all components thereof which constitute such
alteration or any non-structural alteration which costs less than $1,000,000 in
the aggregate for all components thereof which constitute such alteration. If
the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the
Improvements at the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed
by tenants under the Leases) shall at any time equal or exceed $1,000,000 (and
such amount is not being paid from any Reserve Funds) (the "THRESHOLD AMOUNT"),
Borrower, upon Lender's request, shall promptly deliver to Lender as security
for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower's
obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (A) cash, (B) U.S.
Obligations, (C) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that
the applicable
48
Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in
a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then
current ratings assigned in connection with any Securitization, or (D) a
completion bond or letter of credit issued by a financial institution having a
rating by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group of not less than A-1+ if the term of
such bond or letter of credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such
term is in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial institution having
a rating that is acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies
have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade,
withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings
assigned in connection with any Securitization. Such security shall be in an
amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to
alterations to the Improvements on the Property (other than such amounts to be
paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and,
if cash, may be applied from time to time, at the option of Borrower, to pay for
such alterations. At the option of Lender, following the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may terminate any of the
alterations and use the deposit to restore the Property to the extent necessary
to prevent any material adverse effect on the value of the Property.

Direction Letters for each Tenant occupying any portion of the Property pursuant
to a Lease executed after the date hereof, or pursuant to an assignment of an
existing Lease.

sampling, testing and analysis of soil, water, air, building materials, and
other materials and substances whether solid, liquid or gas), and share with
Lender the reports and other results thereof, and Lender and other Indemnified
Parties shall be entitled to rely on such reports and other results thereof; (g)
Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall comply (or shall cause Tenants to
comply) with all reasonable written requests of Lender to (i) effectuate
Remediation of any condition (including but not limited to a Release of a
Hazardous Substance) in, on, under or from the Property; (ii) comply with any
Environmental Law; (iii) comply with any directive from any governmental
authority; and (iv) take any other reasonable action necessary or appropriate
for protection of human health or the environment; (h) Borrower shall not do or
allow any tenant or other user of the Property to do any act that materially

Property; and (i) Borrower shall immediately notify Lender in writing of (A) any

any person or entity pursuant to any Environmental Law, other environmental
conditions in connection with the Property, or any actual or potential
administrative or judicial proceedings in connection with anything referred to
in this Agreement.

performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or
the earlier release of the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Property in

conspicuously state, in large bold type, that "PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.2.1 OF THE

Section 5.2.13(b) above, Lender shall approve or disapprove any such matter
within ten (10) Business Days of Lender's receipt of a written notice from
Borrower requesting Lender's approval, provided such notice includes all
information necessary to make such decision, and further provided that such
written notice from Borrower shall conspicuously state, in large bold type, that
"PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.2.13(B) OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, A RESPONSE IS REQUIRED
WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF LENDER'S RECEIPT OF THIS WRITTEN NOTICE". If
Lender fails to disapprove any such matter within such period, Borrower shall
provide a second written notice requesting approval, which written notice shall
conspicuously state, in large bold type, that "PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.2.13(B) OF
THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THE MATTER DESCRIBED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED IF
LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE CONTRARY WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS OF
LENDER'S RECEIPT OF THIS WRITTEN notice". Thereafter, if Lender does not
disapprove such matter within said five (5) Business Day period such matter
shall be deemed approved. Such deemed approval, however, shall not in any way be

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, no such Transfer shall result in the change of control in
such Co-Owner Transferee. As used in this definition, the term "control" means
the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the
direction of management, policies or activities of a Person, whether through
ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
(h) Borrower, without the consent of Lender, may grant
easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights of way in the
ordinary course of business for water and sewer lines, telephone and telegraph
lines, electric lines and other utilities or for other similar purposes,
provided that no transfer, conveyance or encumbrance shall materially impair the
utility and operation of the Property or materially adversely affect the value
of the Property
57
or the Net Operating Income of the Property. If Borrower shall receive any
consideration in connection with any of said described transfers or conveyances,
Borrower shall have the right to use any such proceeds in connection with any
alterations performed in connection therewith, or required thereby. In
connection with any transfer, conveyance or encumbrance permitted above, the
Lender shall execute and deliver any instrument reasonably necessary or
appropriate to evidence its consent to said action or to subordinate the Lien of
the Mortgage to such easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights
of way or other similar grants upon receipt by the Lender of: (A) a copy of the
instrument of transfer; and (B) an Officer's Certificate stating with respect to
any transfer described above, that such transfer does not materially impair the
utility and operation of the Property or materially reduce the value of the
Property or the Net Operating Income of the Property.
Section 5.3 PERFORMANCE BY PROPERTY MANAGER. To the extent that Borrower
consists of more than one tenants-in-common, Lender acknowledges that Property
Manager will perform certain obligations of Borrower, including delivery to

and Lender shall accept such performance by Property Manager on behalf of
Borrower.

the Personal Property, including contingent liability from Operation of
Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction
Endorsements, in each case (A) in an amount equal to one hundred percent
(100%) of the "Full Replacement Cost," which for purposes of this

uses. In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (y) if any portion of the
Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a
federally designated "special flood hazard area", flood hazard insurance
in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the outstanding principal
balance of the Note or (2) the maximum amount of such insurance
available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform
Act of 1994, as each may be amended or such greater amount as Lender
shall require; and (z) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender in the event the Property is located in
an area with a high degree of seismic activity, provided that the
insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms
consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required
under this subsection (i).
58
(ii) commercial general liability insurance against claims
for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring
upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the
so-called "occurrence" form with a combined limit, including umbrella
coverage, of not less than Five Million and No/100 Dollars
($5,000,000.00); (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit
until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed
economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover
at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2)
products and completed operations on an "if any" basis; (3) independent

during Restoration). The amount of such business income insurance shall
be determined prior to the Closing Date and at least once each year
thereafter based on Borrower's reasonable estimate of the gross income
from the Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. All
proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by
Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan
Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the
Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed
to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by
the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in
the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts
are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;
(iv) at all times during which structural construction,
repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements,

owner's contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not
covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned
commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance
provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder's

endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

required under subsection (ii) above;
59
(viii) if any of the policies of insurance covering the risks
required to be covered under subsections (i) through (vii) above
contains an exclusion from coverage for acts of terrorism, Borrower
shall obtain and maintain a separate policy providing such coverages in
the event of any act of terrorism, provided such coverage is
commercially available for properties similar to the Property and
located in or around the region in which the Property is located; and
(ix) upon sixty (60) days' written notice, such other
reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time
to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards
which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to
the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is
located.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall be
obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the "POLICIES" or
in the singular, the "POLICY"), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender
as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The
Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance
companies authorized to do business in the State and having a rating of "A:X" or
better in the current Best's Insurance Reports and a claims paying ability
rating of "AA" or better by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies including,
(i) S&P, and (ii) Moody's if Xxxxx'x is rating the Securities. The Policies
described in Section 6.1 (other than those strictly limited to liability
protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Not less than fourteen (14)
days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to
Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by
evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the
"INSURANCE PREMIUMS"), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate
to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and
shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring
only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a).
(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated
by Section 6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall
name Borrower, or the Tenant, as the insured and Lender as the additional
insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler
and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New
York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing
that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a)
shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for
Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with
the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a
forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect
the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is
concerned;
60
(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than
to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least
thirty (30) days' written notice to Lender and any other party named
therein as an additional insured;
(iii) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender
if the Policy has not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its
expiration; and
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums
thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written
evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect,
Lender shall have the right, after ten (10) Business Days written notice to
Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest
in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance
coverage as Lender in its reasonable discretion deems appropriate. All premiums
incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance
and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and,
until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the
Default Rate. If Borrower fails in so insuring the Property or in so assigning
and delivering the Policies, Lender may, at its option, obtain such insurance
using such carriers and agencies as Lender shall elect from year to year and pay
the premiums therefor, and Borrower will reimburse Lender for any premium so
paid, with interest thereon as stated in the Note from the time of payment, on
demand, and the amount so owning to Lender shall be secured by the Mortgage. The
insurance obtained by Lender may, but need not, protect Borrower's interest and
the coverage that Lender purchases may not pay any claim that Borrower makes or
any claim that is made against Borrower in connection with the Property.
Section 6.2 CASUALTY. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in
whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a "CASUALTY"), Borrower (a) shall
give to Lender prompt notice of such damage reasonably estimated by Borrower to
cost more than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) to repair, and (b)
shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair
and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the
Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, with such
alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender, (a "RESTORATION") and
otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay, or cause to be
paid, all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by
insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not
made promptly by Borrower.
Section 6.3 CONDEMNATION. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of
the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of
the Property upon obtaining information of such proceeding and shall deliver to
Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings.
Lender may participate in any such proceedings if an Event of Default exists or
if the amount of the Award exceeds three percent (3%) of the outstanding
principal amount of the Loan, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to
Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower
shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall
consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the
carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by
any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or
61
otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in
anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the
Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in
this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been
actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of
collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be
limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall
be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided
herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a
condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute
the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of
Section 6.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to
the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not
a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied,
to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
Section 6.4 RESTORATION(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than
Relevant Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall
be less than the Relevant Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be
disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the
conditions set forth in clauses (A), (E), (F), (G), (H), (J) and (L) of Section
6.4(b)(i) below are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to
expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the
Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the
Relevant Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration is
equal to or greater than the Relevant Restoration Threshold, then in either
case, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b). The term "NET PROCEEDS"
for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (x) the net amount of all insurance
proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 (a)(i), (iv), (vi) and
(viii) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its
reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel
fees), if any, in collecting same ("INSURANCE PROCEEDS"), or (y) the net amount
of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including,
but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same
("CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS"), whichever the case may be.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for
Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing;
(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance
Proceeds, and (x) less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total floor
area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or
rendered unusable as a result of such fire or other casualty, or (y)
Borrower is required under a Lease exceeding the Relevant Leasing
Threshold to use the Net Proceeds for the restoration of the Property,
or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, and (x)
less than fifteen percent (15%) of the land constituting the Property is
taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the
Property, and no portion of the building is located on such land, or (y)
62
Borrower is required under a Lease exceeding the Relevant Leasing
Threshold to use the Net Proceeds for the restoration of the Property;
(C) Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage
amount equal to or greater than the Rentable Space Percentage of the
total rentable space in the Property which has been demised under
executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence
of such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be,
shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of
the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such fire or
other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, and will make all
necessary repairs and restorations thereto at their sole cost and
expense. The term "RENTABLE SPACE PERCENTAGE" shall mean (x) in the
event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, a percentage amount equal
to fifty percent (50%) and (y) in the event the Net Proceeds are
Condemnation Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to fifty percent (50%);
(D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon
as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ninety (90) days
after such damage or destruction or taking or obtaining building
permits, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue
the same to satisfactory completion;
(E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating
deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest
under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a
result of the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking,
whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds,
(2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii), if
applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration
will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) the Maturity
Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms
of any Leases, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning
law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair and restore the
Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such fire or
other casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in
immediately prior to such taking, as applicable or (4) the expiration of
the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii);
(G) the Property and the use thereof after the
Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all
applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations provided,
however, that compliance with such zoning laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations (including, without limitation, parking requirements) will
not require restoration of the Improvements or the Property to a size,
condition, or configuration materially different than that which existed
immediately prior to such Casualty or taking;
(H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by
Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with
all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations (including,
without limitation, all applicable environmental laws);
63
(I) such fire or other casualty or taking, as
applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the
related Improvements;
(J) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, after giving
effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or greater than 1.65:1;
(K) Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered
to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower's
architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the
Restoration, which budget should be consistent with restoration budgets
of similar office properties then owned and operated by nationally
recognized owners and operators of office properties located in the
areas in which the Property is located; and (L) the Net Proceeds
together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with
Lender are sufficient in Lender's discretion to cover the cost of the
Restoration.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest
bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the
Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds
shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time
to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and
labor performed to be paid for out of the requested disbursement in
connection with the Restoration have been performed, and (B) there exist
no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic's or materialman's liens
or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances
of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been
fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or
in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the
title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with
the Restoration, the cost of which exceeds the Relevant Restoration
Threshold, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all
respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by
Lender (the "CASUALTY CONSULTANT"), such review and acceptance not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lender shall have the use of the plans
and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or
obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the
contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration,
as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be
subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty
Consultant, such review and acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with
making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without
limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty
Consultant's fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make
disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the
costs actually incurred from time to time for
64
work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty
Consultant, MINUS the Casualty Retainage. The term "CASUALTY RETAINAGE"
shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually
incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by
the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The
Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the
amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors
and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall
not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that
the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the
re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all
appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender
receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the
Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the
Casualty Retainage; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Lender will release the
portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any
contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as
of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that
the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily
completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the
provisions of the contractor's, subcontractor's or materialman's
contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien
waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the
contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested
by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy,
and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy
insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence
of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by
Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall
be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or
performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or
materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of
the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed
balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in
consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full
the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant
to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration,
Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the "NET PROCEEDS DEFICIENCY")
with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be
made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by
Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection
with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the
disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to
this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt
and other obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the
remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with
Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the
Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to
65
Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have
been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no
Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the
Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available
for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds
pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the
payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority
and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper (provided no
Event of Default exists, such Borrower shall not be required to pay any
prepayment consideration in connection with such payment), or, at the discretion
of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for
such purposes as Lender shall designate, in its discretion.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage with respect
to the Property, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in
whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to
the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property
and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at
such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other
transfer of title.
(e) Lender shall with reasonable promptness following any
Casualty or Condemnation notify Borrower whether or not Net Proceeds are
required to be made available to Borrower for restoration pursuant to this
Section 6.4. All Net Proceeds not required to be made available for Restoration
shall be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with SECTION 2.3.2(A)
hereof (a "NET PROCEEDS PREPAYMENT"). If such Net Proceeds Prepayment shall be
equal to or greater than Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00),
Borrower shall have the right to elect to prepay the remaining outstanding
principal balance of the Note (a "CASUALTY/CONDEMNATION PREPAYMENT") in
accordance with SECTION 2.3.2(B) hereof upon satisfaction of the following
conditions: (i) within thirty (30) days following the date of the Net Proceeds
Prepayment, Borrower shall provide Lender with written notice of Borrower's
intention to pay the Note in full, (ii) Borrower shall prepay the Note in
accordance with Section 2.3.2(b) hereof on or before the third (3rd) Payment
Date occurring following the date of the Net Proceeds Prepayment, and (iii) no
Event of Default shall exist on the date of such Casualty/Condemnation
Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 to the
contrary, Borrower shall have no obligation to commence Restoration of the
Property upon delivery of the written notice set forth in clause (i) of the
preceding sentence (unless Borrower subsequently shall fail to satisfy the
requirement of clause (ii) of the preceding sentence).
ARTICLE 7 - RESERVE FUNDS
Section 7.1 REQUIRED REPAIR FUNDS.
7.1.1 DEPOSITS. Borrower shall perform the repairs at the
Property, if any, as more particularly set forth on SCHEDULE IV hereto (such
repairs hereinafter referred to as "REQUIRED REPAIRS"). Borrower shall complete
the Required Repairs on or before the required deadline for each repair as set
forth on SCHEDULE IV. It shall be an Event of Default under this
66
Agreement if (i) Borrower does not complete the Required Repairs at the Property
by the required deadline for each repair as set forth on SCHEDULE IV, and (ii)
Borrower does not satisfy each condition contained in Section 7.1.2 hereof. Upon
the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw
all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply
such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs at the Property or
toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may
determine in its sole discretion. Lender's right to withdraw and apply Required
Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to
Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. On the Closing Date,
Borrower shall deposit with Lender the sum of $56,250, which sum represents 125%
of the estimated cost to complete the Required Repairs. Amounts so deposited, if
any, shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower's "REQUIRED REPAIR FUND" and
the account, if any, in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be
referred to as Borrower's "REQUIRED REPAIR ACCOUNT".
7.1.2 RELEASE OF REQUIRED REPAIR FUNDS. Lender shall disburse
to Borrower (or to Property Manager on behalf of Borrower) the Required Repair
Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time upon satisfaction by
Borrower of each of the following conditions: (i) Borrower shall submit a
written request for payment to Lender at least fifteen (15) days prior to the
date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Required
Repairs to be paid, (ii) on the date such request is received by Lender and on
the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist
and remain uncured, (iii) Lender shall have received a certificate from Borrower
(or the Property Manager on behalf of Borrower) (A) stating that all Required
Repairs at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been
completed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable
federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, such certificate to be
accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any
Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the Required
Repairs, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in
connection with the Required Repairs performed at the Property to be funded by
the requested disbursement under a contract in excess of $50,000, and (C)
stating that each Person who has supplied materials or labor in connection with
the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement has been paid in
full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such certificate to be
accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender,
(iv) at Lender's option, a title search for the Property indicating that the
Property is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously
approved by Lender, and (v) Lender shall have received such other evidence as
Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs at the Property to be
funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or
will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to
make disbursements from the Required Repair Account with respect to the Property
more than once each calendar month and such disbursement shall be made only upon
satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2.
Section 7.2 TAX AND INSURANCE ESCROW FUND. Borrower shall pay to Lender
on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be
payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with
Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to
their respective due dates and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that
Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the
Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender
sufficient
67
funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of the Policies, (said amounts in (a) and (b) above are hereinafter
called the "TAX AND INSURANCE ESCROW FUND"). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund
and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note,
shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to
Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes
and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and
Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or
estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or
insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums) or from Borrower without
inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the
validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim
thereof, provided, however, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to pay such real
property taxes sufficiently early to obtain the benefit of any available
discounts of which it has knowledge. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance
Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums,
Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit
such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow
Fund. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt
has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess,
Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner
of the Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and
Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes or Insurance
Premiums by the dates set forth above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such
determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the
amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least
thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes or Insurance Premiums.
Section 7.3 REPLACEMENTS AND REPLACEMENT RESERVE.
7.3.1 REPLACEMENT RESERVE FUND. Borrower shall pay to Lender
on the Closing Date and on each Payment Date one twelfth of the amount (the
"REPLACEMENT RESERVE MONTHLY DEPOSIT") reasonably estimated by Lender in its
sole discretion to be due for replacements and repairs required to be made to
the Property during the calendar year (collectively, the "REPLACEMENTS"), which
Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be in an amount equal to no less than
$0.20 per year per square foot of gross leasable area. Amounts so deposited
shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower's "REPLACEMENT RESERVE FUND" and
the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as
Borrower's "REPLACEMENT RESERVE ACCOUNT". Lender may reassess its estimate of
the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time based
upon an updated engineering report of the Property, and may increase the monthly
amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty
(30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion
that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation
of the Property.
7.3.2 DISBURSEMENTS FROM REPLACEMENT RESERVE ACCOUNT.
(a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement
Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender
shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve
Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of
68
routine maintenance to the Property or for costs which are to be reimbursed from
the Required Repair Fund (if any).
(b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and
satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to
Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the
actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon
completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of
Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(f)) as determined by Lender. In no
event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve
Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists.
(c) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement
Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall
specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested,
(ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes
the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials
(grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or
replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or
other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for
disbursement is made. With each request Borrower shall certify that all
Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements
of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property to which the
Replacements are being provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint
checks as described below, each request shall include evidence of payment of all
such amounts. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for
all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided.
Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e), each request for disbursement from the
Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the
Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender
evidence of completion satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.
(d) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the
Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to
submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account
or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to
Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or
other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case
of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each
Person receiving payment prior to Lender's disbursement from the Replacement
Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may
require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier,
materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal
to or greater than $100,000 for completion of its work or delivery of its
materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements
of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied
(including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor,
supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the
current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor,
supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check,
the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous
release of funds request).
(e) If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $100,000, (ii)
the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant
to terms of a written contract,
69
and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a
request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after
completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such
contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the
materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are
properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other
conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds
remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender's judgment,
sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required,
and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving
payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to
amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
(f) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from
the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month
and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all
Replacements in any request shall not be less than $15,000.00.
7.3.3 PERFORMANCE OF REPLACEMENTS.
(a) Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order
to keep the Property in condition and repair consistent with other similar
properties in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the
Property is located, and to keep the Property or any portion thereof from
deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and
workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making
each such Replacement.
(b) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all
contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors,
contractors or other parties providing labor or materials under contracts for an
amount in excess of $100,000 in connection with the Replacements performed by
Borrower. Upon Lender's request, Borrower shall assign any contract or
subcontract to Lender.
(c) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable
discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or
timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or
timely manner, and such failure continues to exist for more than thirty (30)
days after notice from Lender to Borrower, Lender shall have the option, upon
ten (10) days notice to Borrower (except in the case of an emergency), to
withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under
existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such
Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and
materials necessary to complete such Replacement, and to exercise any and all
other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
(d) In order to facilitate Lender's completion or making of
the Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the
right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor
necessary to complete or make the Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect
the Property from damage, subject to the rights of Tenants. All sums so expended
by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed
to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage.
For
70
this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the
Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to
be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked but shall only be
effective following an Event of Default. Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact
as follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the
purpose of making or completing the Replacements; (ii) to make such additions,
changes and corrections to the Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable
to complete the Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors,
agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv)
to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may
become Liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the
completion of the Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all
applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by
any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or
proceedings in connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of
the Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its
own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender
responsible for making or completing the Replacements; (ii) require Lender to
expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any
Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Replacements; or (iv)
obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any
Replacement.
(f) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender's agents and
representatives (including, without limitation, Lender's engineer, architect, or
inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3
to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights
of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and
all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop
drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property,
and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower
shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or
Lender's representatives or such other persons described above in connection
with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of
Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.
(g) Lender may require an inspection of the Property at
Borrower's expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in excess of $100,000
from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the
Replacements for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such
inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional
selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by
an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the
disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall
pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection
is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
(h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures,
or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed,
installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic's,
materialman's or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of
this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender).
71
(i) Before each disbursement in excess of $100,000 from the
Replacement Reserve Account, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with
a search of title to the Property effective to the date of the disbursement,
which search shows that no mechanic's or materialmen's liens or other liens of
any nature have been placed against the Property since the date of recordation
of the Mortgage and that title to the Property is free and clear of all Liens
(other than the lien of the Mortgage and any other Liens previously approved in
writing by Lender, if any).
(j) All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal
Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the
Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation,
applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and
requirements of insurance underwriters.
(k) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan
Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen's compensation
insurance, builder's risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to
the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular
Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably
satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard
mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so
endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.
7.3.4 FAILURE TO MAKE REPLACEMENTS.
(a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if
Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure
is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender; PROVIDED,
however, if such failure is not capable of being cured within said thirty (30)
day period, then provided that Borrower commences action to complete such cure
and thereafter diligently proceeds to complete such cure, such thirty (30) day
period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower,
in the exercise of due diligence, to cure such failure, but such additional
period of time shall not exceed ninety (90) days. Upon the occurrence of such an
Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion
thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the
Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or
replacement to the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order,
proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender's
right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition
to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.
(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply
all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of
Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.
7.3.5 BALANCE IN THE REPLACEMENT RESERVE ACCOUNT. The
insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not
relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance
covenants in the Loan Documents.
72
7.3.6 INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and
hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims,
demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses
(including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising
from or in any way connected with the performance of the Replacements unless the
same are solely due to gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.
Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against
all persons or entities supplying labor or materials in connection with the
Replacements; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Lender may not pursue any such right or

or if certified copies of the Policies are not delivered to Lender
within ten (10) days of request;

(xi) if a default exists beyond any applicable notice and

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Event of Default shall
occur pursuant to clauses (iv), (vi), (vii), (xi) or (xiv) above which is not
caused by the action of any Borrower that is an Affiliate of Sponsor and such
Event of Default shall cease to exist as a result of a transfer by the

and (d) during such cure period there is no material impairment to the value,
use or operation of the Property.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event
of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above) and at any time
thereafter Lender may, in
76
addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take
such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect
and enforce its rights against Borrower and in the Property, including, without
limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may
enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan
Documents against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, all
rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default
described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all other
obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall
immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand,
and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything
contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.2 REMEDIES.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or
more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender
against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may
be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or
any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender
shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the
enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with
respect to the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative
and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together
or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole
discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or
otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of 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, Borrower agrees that if an
Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any "one action" or
"election of remedies" law or rule (to the extent waiveable by Borrower), and
(ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall
remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies
against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise
realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender shall have the
right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and
for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by
Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following
circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace
period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and
interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments,
or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire
outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to
recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate
and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding
one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the
Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously
recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note,
the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes,
mortgages and other
77
security documents (the "SEVERED LOAN DOCUMENTS") in such denominations as
Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and
enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and
deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a
severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to
effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and
irrevocably appoints Lender following the occurrence of an Event of Default as
its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to
make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid
severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue
thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents
under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by
Lender of Lender's intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower
shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with
the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents,
and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties
or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations
and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower
only as of the Closing Date.
(d) As used in this Section 8.2, a "foreclosure" shall include any
sale by power of sale.
Section 8.3 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; WAIVERS. The rights, powers and
remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of
any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant
to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity
or otherwise. Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly,
concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may
determine in Lender's sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any
remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such
remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such
remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be
deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to
Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or
Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent
thereon.
ARTICLE 9 - SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 SALE OF NOTES AND SECURITIZATION. At the request of the
holder of the Note and, to the extent not already required to be provided by
Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender to allow
Lender to satisfy the market standards to which the holder of the Note
customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by
the Rating Agencies in connection with the sale of the Note or participations
therein or the first successful securitization (such sale and/or securitization,
the "SECURITIZATION") of rated single or multi-class securities (the

Mortgage. In this regard Borrower shall:
(a) (i) provide such financial and other information with respect to
the Property, Borrower and the Property Manager, (ii) provide budgets relating
to the Property and (iii) to perform or permit or cause to be performed or
permitted such site inspection, appraisals,

investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably requested by the holder of
the Note or the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in
connection with the Securitization (the "PROVIDED INFORMATION"), together, if
customary, with appropriate verification and/or consents of the Provided
Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent
attorneys acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(b) cause counsel to render opinions, which may be relied upon by
the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies and their respective counsel, agents
and representatives, as to non-consolidation, fraudulent conveyance, and true
sale and/or lease or any other opinion customary in securitization transactions,
which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the holder of the
Note and the Rating Agencies;
(c) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date
of the Securitization with respect to the Property, Borrower, and the Loan
Documents as are consistent with the representations and warranties made in the
Loan Documents; and
(d) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and organizational
documents as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating
Agencies or otherwise to effect the Securitization; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such
modification or amendment would (i) change the interest rate, the stated
maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, or (ii) modify
or amend any other material economic term of the Loan.
All material out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses incurred by
Borrower in connection with complying with requests made under this Section 9.1
shall be paid by Lender.
Section 9.2 SECURITIZATION. Borrower understands that certain of the
Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with
the Securitization, including, without limitation, a prospectus, prospectus
supplement or private placement memorandum (each, a "DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT") and
may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"), or
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), or
provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the
Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the
Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be
revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the
holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current
information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in
all material respects.
Section 9.3 RATING SURVEILLANCE. Lender, at its option, may retain the
Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on any certificates
issued in a Securitization. Such rating surveillance will be at the expense of
Lender (the "RATING SURVEILLANCE CHARGE").
Section 9.4 EXCULPATION. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender
shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and
observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or
the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding
79
wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender
may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other
appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon
its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents, or in the Property, the Rents following an Event of Default, or any
other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided,
however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such
action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of
Borrower's interest in the Property, in the Rents following an Event of Default
and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note,
this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall
not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such
action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the
Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions
of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or
impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents;
(b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any
action or suit for foreclosure and sale under any of the Mortgage; (c) affect
the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the
Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the
right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the
enforcement of any of the Assignment of Leases following an Event of Default; or
(f) constitute a prohibition against Lender commencing any other appropriate
action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the
Property. In addition, the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver of the right
of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of a Borrower, Sponsor or any
Principal of a Borrower (or any successor or assign of any of the foregoing), by
money judgment or otherwise, as expressly set forth in any Co-Owner Indemnity or
Indemnity Agreement executed in connection herewith.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or
any of the Loan Documents, (A) the Debt shall be fully recourse to the Borrower
(but not any Principal of Borrower) and (B) Lender shall not be deemed to have
waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or
any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full
amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral
shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the
Loan Documents in the event that the first full monthly payment under the Note
is not paid within five (5) days of notice that such payment is late (provided,
however, that such grace period relates only to the recourse trigger described
in this paragraph).
Section 9.5 TERMINATION OF PROPERTY MANAGER. If (a) the amounts
evidenced by the Note have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1(b) hereof,
(b) the Property Manager shall become insolvent, (c) the Property Manager is in
default under the terms of the Property Management Agreement beyond any
applicable grace or cure period, or (d) Property Manager is not managing the
Property in accordance with the management practices of nationally recognized
management companies managing similar properties in locations comparable to
those of the Property, then, in the case of (a), (b), (c) or (d), Borrower
shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Property Management Agreement and
replace the Property Manager with a manager reasonably approved by Lender on
terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Lender, it being understood and
agreed that the management fee for such replacement manager shall not exceed
then prevailing market rates. In addition and without limiting the rights of
Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, in the event that (i)
the Property
80
Management Agreement is terminated, (ii) the Property Manager no longer manages
the Property, or (iii) a receiver, liquidator or trustee shall be appointed for
Property Manager or if Property Manager shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or
insolvent, or if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement
pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall
be filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in by, Property Manager, or
if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Property Manager shall
be instituted, then Borrower (at Borrower's sole cost and expense) shall
immediately, in its name, establish new deposit accounts separate from any other
Person with a depository satisfactory to Lender into which all Rents and other
income from the Property shall be deposited and shall grant Lender a first
priority security interest in such account pursuant to documentation
satisfactory in form and substance to Lender. Property Manager shall have the
right to subcontract some or all of its responsibilities under the Property
Management Agreement pursuant to an agreement on terms and conditions
satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion, it being understood and
agreed that the management fee for such Property Manager shall not exceed then
prevailing market rates, as determined by Lender, and in no event shall each
agreement impair Lender's rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
Section 9.6 SERVICER. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced
by a servicer/trustee (the "SERVICER") selected by Lender and Lender may
delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the
"SERVICING Agreement") between Lender and Servicer. Lender shall be responsible
for any set-up fees or any other costs relating to or arising under the
Servicing Agreement.
Section 9.7 RESIZING. Borrower covenants and agrees that in connection
with any Securitization of the Loan, upon Lender's request Borrower shall
deliver one or more new component notes to replace the original note or modify
the original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan or create one or
more mezzanine loans (including amending Borrower's organizational structure to
provide for one or more mezzanine borrowers) (each a "RESIZING EVENT"). Lender
agrees that such new notes or modified note or mezzanine notes shall immediately
after the Resizing Event have the same initial weighted average coupon as the
original note prior to such Resizing Event, notwithstanding that such new notes
or modified note or mezzanine notes or may, in connection with the application
of principal to such new notes or modified note or mezzanine notes, subsequently
cause the weighted average spread of such new notes or modified note or
mezzanine notes to change and apply principal, interest rates and amortization
of the Loan between such new components and/or mezzanine loans in a manner
specified by Lender in its sole discretion such that the pricing and
marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the
rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most
favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum bond execution for the Loan. In
connection with any Resizing Event, Borrower covenants and agrees to modify the
Cash Management Agreement with respect to the newly created components and/or
mezzanine loans.

PROMPTLY DESIGNATE SUCH A SUBSTITUTE IF ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT CEASES TO HAVE AN
OFFICE IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK OR IS DISSOLVED WITHOUT LEAVING A SUCCESSOR.
Section 10.4 MODIFICATION, WAIVER IN WRITING. No modification,
amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, or of the Note, or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any
departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought,
and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to
any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other
circumstances.
Section 10.5 DELAY NOT A WAIVER. Neither any failure nor any delay on
the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition,
covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege
hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other
instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute
83
a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any
other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or
privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment
after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any
other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either
to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this
Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for
failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.
Section 10.6 NOTICES. All notices, consents, approvals and requests
required or permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be given
in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if hand delivered or sent by
(a) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested or (b) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United
States Postal Service, with proof of attempted delivery, and by telecopier (with

Section 10.7 TRIAL BY JURY. BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY AGREE NOT TO
ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR
HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN
84
DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION
THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY
EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD
OTHERWISE ACCRUE. LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH
IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER AND LENDER.
Section 10.8 HEADINGS. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table
of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference
only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 10.9 SEVERABILITY. Wherever possible, each provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or
invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 10.10 PREFERENCES. Lender shall have the continuing and
exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower
to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower
makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part
thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party
under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause,
then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations
hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue
in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received
by Lender.
Section 10.11 WAIVER OF NOTICE. Borrower shall not be entitled to any
notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for
which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly
provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect
to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements,
permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the
right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly
provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 10.12 REMEDIES OF BORROWER. In the event that a claim or
adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or
unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an
obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender
nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower's sole
remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or
declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to
determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action
seeking declaratory judgment.
85
Section 10.13 EXPENSES; INDEMNITY.
(a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to
pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all
reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation,
negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower
(including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal
matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to
the Property); (ii) Borrower's ongoing performance of and compliance with
Borrower's respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the
Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with
environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender's ongoing performance and
compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the
Closing Date; (iv) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any
consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters reasonably requested by
Lender; (v) securing Borrower's compliance with any requests made pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and
expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for
providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses
incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any
rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any
action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or
affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or
any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of
or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents or with respect to the Property or in connection with any
refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this
Agreement in the nature of a "work-out" or of any insolvency or bankruptcy
proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the
payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of
the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all material out-of-pocket third party costs and
expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with complying with requests made
under Section 9.1 shall be paid by Lender.
(b) Each Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender
from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any
investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened,
whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising
out of (i) any breach by such Borrower of its obligations under, or any material
misrepresentation by such Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan
(collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such
Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that
such Indemnified
86
Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful
misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend
and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable
because it violates any law or public policy, such Borrower shall pay the
maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to
the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
Section 10.14 SCHEDULES INCORPORATED. The Schedules annexed hereto are
hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as
if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.15 OFFSETS, COUNTERCLAIMS AND DEFENSES. Any assignee of
Lender's interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan
Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or
defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have
against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or
defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding
brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose
or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action
or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.16 NO JOINT VENTURE OR PARTNERSHIP; NO THIRD PARTY
BENEFICIARIES.
(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and
lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture,
partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower
and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of
mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the
benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and
Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of
any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the
obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and
exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to
require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be
entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of
strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any
circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of
which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender's sole
discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17 PUBLICITY. All news releases, publicity or advertising by
Borrower or their Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general
public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan
Documents, to Lender, Bear Xxxxxxx, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject
to the prior written approval of Lender. All news releases, publicity or
advertising by Lender through any media intended to reach the general public
which refers solely to the Borrower or to the Loan made by the Lender to the
Borrower shall be subject to the prior written approval of Borrower, provided
however, the foregoing shall not apply to Provided Information included in
disclosure documents in connection with a Securitization.
87
Section 10.18 WAIVER OF MARSHALLING OF ASSETS. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives
all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower's partners and
others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, or to a sale in inverse
order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or sale of the
Property by power of sale, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws
pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of
alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or
any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender
under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the
Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of
Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in
preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.19 WAIVER OF COUNTERCLAIM. Borrower hereby waives the right
to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or
proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
Section 10.20 CONFLICT; CONSTRUCTION OF DOCUMENTS; RELIANCE. In the
event of any conflict between the provisions of this Loan Agreement and any of
the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Loan Agreement shall control.
The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel
in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents
and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing
their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that,
with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and
advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any
statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent,
subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation
whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any
of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the
Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of
Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower
hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on
the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender's exercise of any such rights
or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real
estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may
be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its
Affiliates.
Section 10.21 BROKERS AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS. Borrower hereby represents
that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement
agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement other than NorthMarq Capital. Borrower hereby agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims,
liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender's reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by
any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection
with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21
shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment
of the Debt.
Section 10.22 PRIOR AGREEMENTS. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in
respect of the transactions
88
contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements or understandings
among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the
terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and unless specifically set
forth in a writing contemporaneous herewith the terms, conditions and provisions
of such prior agreement do not survive execution of this Agreement.
Section 10.23 TRANSFER OF LOAN. In the event that Lender transfers the
Loan, Borrower shall continue to make payments at the place set forth in the
Note until such time that Borrower is notified in writing by Lender that
payments are to be made at another place.
Section 10.24 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If Borrower consists of more
than one person or party, the obligations and liabilities of each person or
party shall be joint and several except as otherwise expressly provided in the
Loan Documents.
