2.05Disbursements.
(a)Generally. Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Borrower Operating Account maintained with Collateral Agent, unless the Administrative Agent determines to direct funds to the applicable Borrower Construction Account maintained with the Collateral Agent.
(b)Loan Disbursements. Borrower agrees to pay all fees and expenses of Collateral Agent charged in connection with the performance of its duties under such Collateral Account Pledge Agreement. Advances deposited by or on behalf of the Lenders into the Borrower Operating Account or to a Construction Account established by the Collateral Account Pledge Agreement shall be deemed fully made to Borrower on the date of such deposit.
(c)Lessee Project Costs. The Facility Lessee Project Cost Advance, the repayment of the Facility Lessee Reverse Loan and the proceeds of any advance by Borrower on the Facility Lessee Loan shall be deposited into the Facility Lessee Construction Account pursuant to the provisions of the Collateral Account Pledge Agreement.

made by the Lenders. In no event shall any Advance, except the final Advance, be for an amount which is less than $250,000.
(f)Intentionally Omitted.
(g)No Deemed Approval. No Advance of the Loans by the Lenders shall be deemed to be an approval or acceptance by Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any work performed thereon or the materials furnished with respect thereto.
2.06Balancing.
(a)“In Balance” Determination. Advances shall only be made at such times as the Loans are “in balance”. The Loans shall be deemed to be “in balance” only at such times as Administrative Agent determines (i) that (A) amounts available for disbursement under the Loan Documents for Project Costs (including from non-interest contingency items) other than interest on the Loans (determined after deducting the allocated amount of any Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) together with (B) available undisbursed Non-Interest Balancing Deposits, will be sufficient (giving effect to the expected timing of availability) to complete the Facility in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and pay all Project Costs other than interest on the Loans as and when expected to be incurred through the Outside Facility Substantial Completion Date, (ii) that (A) the amount available for disbursement under the Loan Documents for interest on the Loans (determined after deducting the allocated amount of any Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) together with (B) available undisbursed Interest Balancing Deposits, will be sufficient to pay interest on the Loans through October 15, 2018 (or such earlier date, approved by Administrative Agent, by which Borrower reasonably anticipates the Facility Substantial Completion Date occurring), and (iii) that the amount on deposit in the Facility Lessee Construction Account, or available for deposit from the proceeds of repayment of the Facility Lessee Reverse Loan, the proceeds of the Facility Lessee Loan or funds due from Facility Lessee pursuant to the Facility Lease or the Proton System Supplier under the Proton System Purchase Agreement, will be sufficient to pay all Facility Lessee Project Costs, including amounts due or to be become due under the Proton System Purchase Agreement.
(b)Balancing Deposits. Within 10 days after written notice from Administrative Agent that the Loans are not “in balance,” and prior to any subsequent Advance, Borrower shall deposit or cause to be deposited sufficient funds with Collateral Agent to bring the Loans “in balance” as determined by Administrative Agent. Any amounts so deposited will be held by Collateral Agent in Construction Account – Project Loan under the Collateral Account Pledge Agreement. Any amounts so deposited to correct a deficiency described in Section 2.06(a)(i) or 2.06(a)(ii)(A) above (a “Non-Interest Balancing Deposit”) shall be disbursed for the payment of Project Costs (other than interest on the Loans) before any additional Advances are made for such Project Costs. Any amounts so deposited to correct a deficiency described in Section 2.06(a)(ii) above (an “Interest Balancing Deposit”) shall be disbursed for the payment of interest on the Loans before any additional Advances are made therefor. Any amounts so deposited to correct a deficiency described in Section 2.06(a)(iii) above (a “Proton System Balancing Deposit”) shall be held in the Facility Lessee Construction Account and disbursed for the payment of amounts due on the Proton System Purchase Agreement. Disbursements of Balancing Deposits shall be subject to the same conditions as would be applicable to an Advance
39
hereunder. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, Administrative Agent may apply all or any portion of any Borrower Balancing Deposit (including accrued interest thereon) to the payment of the Obligations or any Project Costs. Borrower shall have the right to deliver an irrevocable standby letter of credit to Administrative Agent in the amount of any required Balancing Deposit in lieu of depositing cash therefor so long as such letter of credit (i) is issued by a Qualified Financial Institution, (ii) permits draws upon delivery of sight drafts by Administrative Agent in order to facilitate the disbursements contemplated hereby in the same manner as if cash were deposited with Administrative Agent for the required Balancing Deposit, and (iii) is otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent. In the event Administrative Agent makes a demand for a Balancing Deposit hereunder as a result of a casualty or condemnation, any insurance or condemnation proceeds held by Administrative Agent and available for disbursement for construction or reconstruction in accordance with Section 7.01(g) and Section 7.02 hereof (as applicable) hereof shall be credited against the Balancing Deposit required to be made hereunder and shall be treated in the same manner as a Balancing Deposit.
2.07Advances to Pay Interest on Senior First Lien Loans and Senior Second Lien Loans.
(a)Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders to make Advances on each Interest Payment Date occurring on or prior to the Facility Substantial Completion Date to pay accrued interest on the Senior First Lien Loans and the Senior Second Lien Loans. Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the total amount of accrued interest on the Senior First Lien Loans and Senior Second Lien Loans due on such Interest Payment Date and the amount each Lender is required to fund pursuant to Section 2.02(c). Upon receipt of such Advances, the Administrative Agent shall promptly disburse to each Senior First Lien Lender and Senior Second Lien Lender an amount equal to such accrued interest.
(b)Borrower’s authorization in Section 2.07(a) is irrevocable and no further direction, authorization or Draw Request shall be required for Lenders to make such Advances. The Lenders may make such Advances notwithstanding that a Default or Unmatured Default may have occurred under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(c)The portion of the Aggregate Senior First Lien Loan Commitment and Senior Second Lien Loan Commitment allocated in the Project Budget for interest on the Senior First Lien Loans and the Senior Second Lien Loans shall be held by the Senior First Lien Lenders and Senior Second Lien Lenders, as applicable, as an unfunded interest reserve . If the interest reserve is insufficient to pay in full interest due on the Senior First Lien Loans and the Senior Second Lien Loans, then such Advance shall be allocated first to interest due on the Senior First Lien Loans and second to interest due on the Senior Second Lien Loans. If funds are not available from the interest reserve to pay in full interest when due on the Senior First Lien Loans and the Senior Second Lien Loans, Borrower shall pay such shortfall from its own funds. Nothing in this provision shall prevent Borrower from paying interest on the Senior First Lien Loans and the Senior Second Lien Loans from its own funds. Cash flow from the Facility must be used to pay interest on the Senior First Lien Loans and the Senior Second Lien Loan before any Advances are made to pay such interest.
2.08Project Budget.
40
(a)A budget setting forth the items of direct and indirect costs of all Project Costs is attached hereto as Exhibit B (as amended and modified from time to time with the approval of Administrative Agent, the “Project Budget”). Each such cost (a “Line Item”) shall be allocated to a grouping (a “Cost Grouping”). The Project Budget shall delineate those Project Costs that may be funded with the Loan proceeds (subject to satisfaction of all applicable conditions to Advances hereunder) being so indicated. The Project Budget shall contain a contingency for non-interest Project Costs and a reserve for interest. The Lenders shall not be obligated to disburse more than the amount shown in the Project Budget for any Cost Grouping.
(b)From time to time, Administrative Agent, or Borrower with the prior written approval of Administrative Agent in accordance herewith, may determine that modifications are necessary in the Project Budget because of actual or anticipated changes in the Project Costs, including the allocation of the non-interest contingency to the Project Costs. If, after due consultation and consideration of the views of Borrower and supporting documentation, Borrower and Administrative Agent do not agree on the changes, Administrative Agent’s reasonable determination shall control.
(c)If Borrower becomes aware of any change in the Project Costs that will increase a Cost Grouping reflected on the Project Budget, Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing, advise Administrative Agent of the source of funds for such increase (which may include funds from the Facility Lessee, the Proton System Supplier or the allocation of the non-interest contingency in the Project Budget or the reallocation of the interest reserve to non-interest contingency) and promptly submit to Administrative Agent for its approval a revised Project Budget. Any reallocation of any Cost Groupings in the Project Budget in connection with cost overruns shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s reasonable approval except as expressly set forth herein, and upon Completion of the Improvements and final payment to the Contractor, any unused non-interest contingency will be reallocated to the interest reserve and upon Completion of the Facility any unused non-interest contingency or interest reserve, after payment of all accrued interest, may be used to fund the final Advances pursuant to Section 2.01(g). The Lenders shall have no obligation to make any further Advances unless and until the revised Project Budget so submitted by Borrower is approved by Administrative Agent. All savings resulting from the modification of the Project Budget, other than for interest on the Loan, shall be reallocated to the non-interest contingency and shall be available for costs in any other Project Budget line item.
2.09Use of Proceeds. Unless otherwise permitted by Administrative Agent, Advances shall be solely for Soft Costs and Project System Costs then due under any applicable contract or otherwise then due and payable, on the basis of invoices, statements or other evidence thereof acceptable to Administrative Agent. The Developer Fee shall be paid at the times, in the amounts, and subject to the contingencies set forth in the Development Agreement; provided, however, payment of the Developer Fee shall be suspended after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default.
2.10Final Construction Advance. Unless otherwise permitted by Administrative Agent, Advances for the payment of final amounts due Contractor under the Construction Contract for the payment of final amounts of Soft Costs and Advances for the payment of final amounts due the Proton System Supplier under the Proton System Purchase Agreement at Completion shall
41

2.11Intentionally Omitted .
2.12No Reliance. All conditions and requirements of this Agreement are for the sole benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders and no other Person (including, without limitation, the Independent Engineer, the Contractor, and subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the construction of the Improvements) shall have the right to rely on the satisfaction of such conditions and requirements by Borrower.
2.13Miscellaneous.
(a)The making of an Advance by the Lenders shall not constitute Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s approval or acceptance of the construction theretofore completed. Administrative Agent’s inspection and approval of the Plans and Specifications, the construction of the Improvements, or the workmanship and materials used therein, shall impose no liability of any kind on Administrative Agent or the Lenders, the sole obligation of Administrative Agent as the result of such inspection and approval being to approve the Advances if and to the extent, required by this Agreement.
(b)ALL POTENTIAL LIENORS ARE HEREBY CAUTIONED TO EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER. NO POTENTIAL LIENOR SHOULD EXPECT THE LENDERS TO MAKE ADVANCES OF THE LOANS IN AMOUNTS AND AT TIMES SUCH THAT IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR EACH SUCH POTENTIAL LIENOR TO EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER.

Absent manifest error, the entries made in the accounting maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or Administrative Agent to maintain such accounting or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e)Notes. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by the Note executed by Borrower in favor of such Lender.

3*Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
47
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender, (ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or (iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then Borrower will pay to such Lender or such other Recipient such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other Recipient for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)Capital Adequacy.

If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.09) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
48
(b)Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse each Recipient for, Other Taxes.

(d)Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (including the expenses of enforcing the foregoing indemnification), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally defend and hold harmless Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.04(c)(i) hereof relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (including the expenses of enforcing the foregoing indemnification), whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(f)Status of Lenders.
(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of
49
withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.09(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;
(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or
(4)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI,
50
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.09 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.09), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.09 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay
51
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h)Survival; Defined Terms. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.09 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. For purposes of this Section 3.09, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
3.10 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.
(a) Payments Generally. Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set‑off, counterclaim or deduction. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to Administrative Agent at its offices at the address provided in the Collateral Account Pledge Agreement. Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars.
(b) Application of Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due and payable hereunder, subject to any written agreement among Administrative Agent and Lenders, such funds shall be applied:
(i) first, to amounts then due and payable to Administrative Agent,
(ii) second, to amounts then due and payable to the Senior First Lien Lenders,
(iii) third, to amounts then due and payable to the Senior Second Lien Lenders, and
(iv) fourth, to amounts then due and payable to the Subordinated Lenders;
and within each such priority, such funds shall be applied (x) first, towards payment of fees, indemnities and expense reimbursements then due hereunder to the parties entitled thereto; (y) second, towards payment of interest then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled
52
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest then due to such parties, and (z) third, towards payment of principal then due hereunder then due, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.
(c) Allocation of Payments. If, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender having the same payment priority in the Loan Collateral, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by all such Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrower or any subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d) Advance Payments. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
3.11 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Mitigation of Increased Costs. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.08 hereof, or if Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
53
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
Section 3.08 or 3.09 hereof, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.08 hereof, or if Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof, and, such Lender fails to withdraw any such notice to Borrower within 5 Business Days after Borrower’s request for such withdrawal, then, provided no Default has occurred and is then continuing, Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.04 hereof), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.08 or 3.09 hereof) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee (other than Borrower, any Guarantors or their Affiliates) that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, (including, without limitation, all prepayment fees) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); provided, however, that in the case of Borrower’s replacement of a Defaulting Lender for failure to fund Loans hereunder, the assignee or Borrower, as the case may be, shall hold back from such amounts payable to such Lender and pay directly to Administrative Agent, any payments due to Administrative Agent or the Non-Defaulting Lenders by Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.08 hereof or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
3.12 Intentionally Omitted.

CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS; GENERAL COVENANTS
4.01 Acceptance of Construction Documents; Completion of Construction.
(a) Acceptance of Construction Documents. Administrative Agent’s acceptance of the Plans and Specifications, the Architectural Services Agreement (Construction Administration), the Construction Contract, the Proton System Purchase Agreement, bonds and other construction documents (including Administrative Agent’s acceptance of any modifications thereof and any Person providing work, labor or services pursuant thereto) shall not be deemed in any respect a representation or warranty, express or implied, that the Improvements will be structurally sound, have a value of any particular magnitude or otherwise
54
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
satisfy a particular standard, and Administrative Agent shall have no duty to inform Borrower of Administrative Agent’s assessment of any such construction document.
(b) Completion of Construction. Borrower shall cause the Facility to be Substantially Completed on or before the Outside Facility Substantial Completion Date. Borrower shall (a) diligently pursue construction of the Facility to Final Completion in accordance with the Construction Schedule, (b) not permit (except in the event of Force Majeure Causes) cessation of the work of construction for a period in excess of 20 consecutive days without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, and (c) pay all sums and perform such duties as may be necessary to complete such construction of the Facility in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and in compliance with all restrictions, covenants and easements affecting the Mortgaged Property, all Legal Requirements and all Governmental Approvals, and with all terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, and, subject to Permitted Encumbrances, free from any Liens, claims or assessments (actual or contingent) asserted against the Mortgaged Property for any material, labor or other items furnished in connection therewith unless bonded and removed as a Lien on the Mortgaged Property.
(c) Americans with Disabilities Act Compliance. The Facility shall be constructed and hereafter maintained in strict accordance and full compliance with all of the requirements of the ADA (to the extent that the ADA requirements are applicable to the Facility pursuant to the Legal Requirements). Borrower shall be responsible for all ADA compliance costs. At Administrative Agent’s written request from time to time, Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent with written evidence of such compliance satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Borrower shall be solely responsible for all such ADA costs of compliance and reporting.
4.02 Construction Progress.
(a) Material Changes to Improvements or the Proton System. There shall be no material change in the Plans and Specifications, to the specifications to the Proton System set forth in the Proton System Purchase Agreement or to the Building Interface Document without the prior consent of Administrative Agent. A material change for purposes hereof shall be any change which (i) involves a cost of more than (A) for any single item, $1,500,000 or (B) for all such items (without netting cost increases against cost savings), $1,500,000, (ii) impairs the structural integrity or the configuration of the Facility and the Outside Facility Substantial Completion Date, (iii) substantially changes the architectural appearance of the Improvements, (iv) changes the utility of the Proton System, (v) results in any delay in the Completion of the Facility, or (iv) results in a violation of any applicable Legal Requirement. Change requests shall describe the proposed change in reasonable detail, set forth for the cost of such change and any effect such change shall have on the schedule for Completion of the Facility, and the source of funds for any payment of the costs of effecting such change, and shall be submitted to Administrative Agent for consent on a form acceptable to Administrative Agent, applicable bond sureties (if required in order to maintain the effectiveness of the bonds), and all other Persons required by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent’s consent to any change in the Plans and Specifications, to the specifications to the Proton System set forth in the Proton System Purchase Agreement or to the Building Interface Document may be conditioned upon, among other things, Borrower’s compliance with a demand for a Balancing Deposit pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof. Borrower shall promptly correct all defects in the Facility or any material departure
55
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
from the Plans and Specifications not previously approved by Administrative Agent to the extent required hereunder. Borrower agrees that the advance of any proceeds of the Loan, whether before or after such defects or departures from the Plans and Specifications are discovered by or brought to the attention of Administrative Agent, shall not constitute a waiver of Administrative Agent’s right to require compliance with this covenant.
(b) Foundation Survey and Endorsement. To the extent required by Administrative Agent, within 30 days after completion of the construction of the foundation of the Improvements, and as a condition precedent to any further Advances, Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Administrative Agent an update to the Survey showing the location of such foundation and an endorsement to the Title Policy insuring that such foundation is within the boundary lines of the Land, does not violate any applicable covenants, conditions, restrictions or agreements affecting the Land, and does not encroach upon any easements or rights of way affecting the Land or any portion thereof.
(c) Survey Update. If requested by Administrative Agent, within 120 days after Substantial Completion of the Facility, Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Administrative Agent an update to the survey reflecting the Facility as so completed.
(d) Estoppel Certificates. Within 10 days after the reasonable request of Administrative Agent from time to time, Borrower shall exercise reasonable commercial efforts to obtain and deliver to Administrative Agent an estoppel letter or certificate in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent from the Facility Lessee, as determined by Administrative Agent, that the applicable agreements to which such entity is a party remain in full force and effect and that no default by Borrower exists thereunder and containing such other information as may be required to respond to such requests.
(e) Easements and Restrictions; Zoning. Borrower shall cause the Facility to be constructed and to be used, at all times, in accordance with (a) a C6-3 zoning district, (b) all covenants and restrictions set forth in Section 7 of the Contract of Sale, together with the covenants and restrictions set forth in the EDC Deed that are applicable to the owner of the Facility (as opposed to the operator of the Facility), (c) the Harlem-East Harlem Urban Renewal Plan, dated December 1968, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Urban Renewal Plan”) and (d) the portions of the Memorandum of Understanding between EDC and New York City Development of Environmental Protection that are applicable to the owner of the Facility (as opposed to the operator of the Facility), and for no other purpose (clauses (a) – (d), collectively, the “Use Restrictions”).
Borrower shall submit to Administrative Agent, for Administrative Agent’s written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) prior to the execution thereof by Borrower, all proposed easements, restrictions, covenants, permits, licenses and other instruments that would affect the title to the Mortgaged Property, accompanied by a survey showing the exact proposed location thereof and such other information as Administrative Agent shall reasonably require. Borrower shall not subject the Facility or any part thereof to any easement, restriction or covenant (including any restriction or exclusive use provision in any lease or other occupancy agreement) without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed in the case of utility easements only). With respect to any and all existing easements,
56
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
restrictions, covenants or operating agreements that benefit or burden the Facility and any easement, restriction or covenant to which the Facility may hereafter be subjected in accordance with the provisions hereof, Borrower shall: (a) observe and perform the obligations imposed upon Borrower and the Facility; (b) not alter, modify or change the same without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent in its sole discretion; (c) enforce its rights thereunder in a commercially reasonable manner so as to preserve for the benefit of the Facility the full benefits of the same; and (d) deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of any notice of default or other material notice received by Borrower in respect of the same promptly after Borrower’s receipt of such notice.
4.03 Purchase of Materials Under Conditional Sales Contract. No materials, equipment, fixtures or any other part of the Facility shall be purchased by Borrower under any security agreement or other arrangements wherein the seller reserves or purports to reserve the right to remove or to repossess any such items or to consider them personal property after their incorporation in the work of construction, unless consented to by Administrative Agent in writing or permitted to Facility Lessee by the Facility Lease.
4.04 Inspection; Independent Engineer.
(a) Inspections. Administrative Agent, through its officers, agents and employees, shall have the right at all reasonable times, on reasonable prior notice and at Administrative Agent’s sole risk (i) to enter upon the Facility and inspect the work of construction and (ii) to examine the books, records, accounting data and other documents pertaining to the Facility. Borrower will cooperate with Administrative Agent and its representatives and consultants.
(b) Independent Engineer. In furtherance of Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder, Administrative Agent may, at its option, require a monthly inspection (or other greater frequency as determined by Administrative Agent or the Independent Engineer) of the Facility by the Independent Engineer during the construction of the Improvements and the installation of the Proton System, at Borrower’s expense (subject, however, to the provisions of Section 3.07 hereof). Without limitation of the provisions of Section 4.04(a) hereof, Borrower shall provide the Independent Engineer and, upon Facility Lessee’s request, the Facility Lessee, with copies of any testing reports received by Borrower with respect to the Facility promptly upon Borrower’s receipt thereof.
(c) Exculpation. It is expressly understood and agreed that Administrative Agent is under no duty to supervise or to inspect the work of construction or equipment installation and that any such inspection by or on behalf of Administrative Agent is for the sole purpose of protecting the interests of Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the Loan Collateral. Failure to inspect the work or any part thereof shall not constitute a waiver of any of Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder. Inspection not followed by notice of Default shall not constitute a waiver of any Default then existing; nor shall it constitute an acknowledgment that there has been or will be compliance with the Plans and Specifications, the specifications for the Proton System or applicable Legal Requirements or that the construction of the Improvements and installation of the Proton System is free from defective materials or workmanship. It is further understood and agreed that any consents or approvals of Lenders hereunder are for the
57
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
sole purpose of protecting the interests of Lenders under the Loan Documents, and Borrower shall have no right to rely on such approvals for Borrower’s purposes.
(d) Authority of Independent Engineer. Borrower acknowledges that (i) Independent Engineer has been retained by Administrative Agent to act as a consultant and only as a consultant to Administrative Agent in connection with the construction of the Improvements, (ii) Independent Engineer shall in no event or under any circumstance have any power or authority to make any decision or to give any approval or consent or to do any other act or thing which is binding upon Administrative Agent or the Lenders and any such purported decision, approval, consent, act or thing by Independent Engineer on behalf of Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall be void and of no force or effect, (iii) notwithstanding the recommendations of Independent Engineer, Administrative Agent and the Lenders reserve the right to make any and all decisions required to be made by Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement and to give or refrain from giving any and all consents or approvals required to be given by Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement and to accept or not accept any matter or thing required to be accepted by Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement, without in any instance being bound or limited in any manner or under any circumstance whatsoever by any opinion expressed or not expressed, or advice given or not given, or information, certificate or report provided or not provided, by Independent Engineer to Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Person with respect thereto, (iv) Administrative Agent and the Lenders reserve the right in their sole and absolute discretion to disregard or disagree, in whole or in part, with any opinion expressed, advice given or information, certificate or report furnished or provided by Independent Engineer to Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Person, and (v) Administrative Agent and the Lenders reserve the right in their sole and absolute discretion to replace Independent Engineer with another Independent Engineer at any time and without prior notice to or approval by Borrower. Borrower shall have no right to receive copies of any written reports by Independent Engineer, but in the event Administrative Agent does make such information or portions thereof available to Borrower, Borrower shall rely thereon at its own risk.
(e) Independent Engineer Duties. Borrower shall permit Administrative Agent to retain the Independent Engineer, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, to perform, among other things, the following services on behalf of Administrative Agent and the Lenders:
(i) To review and advise Administrative Agent and the Lenders whether, in the opinion of the Independent Engineer, the Plans and Specifications and the Construction Contract are satisfactory;
(ii) To review Draw Requests and change orders; and
(iii) To make periodic inspections in accordance with this Section 4.04.
The Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Independent Engineer shall not have any liability to Borrower on account of (x) the services performed by the Independent Engineer, (y) any neglect or failure on the part of the Independent Engineer to properly perform its services or (z) any approval by the Independent Engineer of construction of the Improvements. None of Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Independent Engineer assumes any obligation to
58
Borrower or any other Person concerning the quality of construction of the Improvements or the absence therefrom of defects.
4.05 Right to Post Signs; Publicity. On Administrative Agent’s request, Borrower will allow Administrative Agent to share signage on the Facility for the purpose of identifying Administrative Agent as the agent or lead bank and the Lenders, as the lenders for the construction financing for the Improvements. The form of such signage shall be subject to the prior approval of Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Administrative Agent shall be permitted to publicize its involvement and the involvement of the Lenders in the construction financing for the Improvements with Borrower’s and Facility Lessee’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
4.06 Liens, Taxes, and Governmental Claims.
(a) Liens. Borrower shall not suffer to exist, and shall pay, satisfy and obtain the release, within 30 days after having knowledge thereof (by payment, bonding and/or discharge), of all other claims and Liens affecting or purporting to affect the title to, or which may be or appear to be Liens on, the Borrower Collateral or any part thereof (other than the Permitted Encumbrances), and all costs, charges, interest and penalties on account thereof, including without limitation the claims of all Persons supplying labor or materials to the Mortgaged Property, and shall give Administrative Agent, upon demand, evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent of the payment, satisfaction or release thereof. Borrower shall warrant and defend the validity of the Lien on the Borrower Collateral against the claims of all Persons whomsoever, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall require Borrower to pay any claims or Liens which Borrower in good faith disputes and which Borrower, at its own expense, is currently and diligently contesting, provided that Borrower complies with the provisions of Section 4.06(c) hereof.
(b) Taxes. Borrower agrees to pay or cause to be paid, prior to the date they would become delinquent if not paid, any and all taxes, assessments and governmental charges whatsoever levied upon or assessed or charged against the Mortgaged Property, including all water and sewer taxes, assessments and other charges, fines, impositions and rents, if any. If requested by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall give to Administrative Agent a receipt or receipts, or certified copies thereof, evidencing every such payment by Borrower, not later than 45 days after such payment is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall require Borrower to pay any taxes, assessments or governmental charges which Borrower in good faith disputes and which Borrower, at its own expense, is currently and diligently contesting, provided that applicable law allows non‑payment thereof during the pendency of such contest, and provided further that Borrower complies with the provisions of Section 4.06(c) hereof.
(c) Contest. Borrower shall not be required to pay any taxes, claims or governmental charges, or claims, or Liens being contested in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.06(a) or (b) hereof, as the case may be, so long as (i) Borrower diligently prosecutes such dispute or contest to a prompt determination in a manner not prejudicial to Administrative Agent or the Lenders and promptly pays all amounts ultimately determined to be owing, and (ii) Borrower
59
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
provides security for the payment of such tax, assessment or governmental charge, or claim or Lien (together with interest and penalties relating thereto) in an amount and in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent. If Borrower shall fail to pay any such amounts ultimately determined to be owing or to proceed diligently to prosecute such dispute or contest as provided herein, then, upon the expiration of 10 days after written notice to Borrower by Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s determination thereof, in addition to any other right or remedy of Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same, and the cost thereof shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Administrative Agent. The payment by Administrative Agent of any delinquent tax, assessment or governmental charge, or any claim or Lien which Administrative Agent in good faith believes might be prior hereto, shall be conclusive between the parties as to the legality and amount so paid, and Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all rights, equities and liens discharged by any such expenditure to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(d) Further Assurance of Title. If at any time Administrative Agent has reason to believe in its reasonable opinion that any Advance is not secured or will or may not be secured by the Mortgage as a first priority Lien or security interest on the Facility (subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances), then Borrower shall, within 10 days after written notice from Administrative Agent, take such actions as are reasonably requested by Administrative Agent (including execution and delivery to Administrative Agent of all further documents and performance of all other acts that Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate) to assure to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent that any Advance previously made hereunder or to be made hereunder is secured or will be secured by the Mortgage as a first priority Lien or security interest with respect to the Facility (subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances). Administrative Agent, at its option, may decline to make further Advances hereunder until it has received such assurance.
4.07 Facility Lease.
(a) Affirmative Covenants. Borrower shall (i) duly and punctually observe, perform and discharge in all respects the obligations, terms, covenants, conditions and warranties of Borrower as landlord under the Facility Lease and as set forth in the Work Letter, (ii) give prompt notice to Administrative Agent of any failure on the part of Borrower to observe, perform and discharge any material obligation or of any written claim made by the Facility Lessee of any such failure by Borrower, (iii) enforce the performance of each and every obligation, term, covenant, condition and agreement in the Facility Lease to be performed by Facility Lessee and under the Work Letter, (iv) appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising under, occurring out of or in any manner connected with the Facility Lease or the Work Letter or the obligations, duties or liabilities of Borrower and Facility Lessee thereunder, do so in the name and on behalf of Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) upon request by Administrative Agent, but at the expense of Borrower, and pay all costs and expenses of Administrative Agent, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, in any action or proceeding in which Administrative Agent may appear, (v) at the request of Administrative Agent, in confirmation of the assignment and transfer contemplated by the Assignment of Leases and Consent, execute and deliver to Administrative Agent assignments and transfers of all future leases of the Facility upon the same terms and conditions as contained in the Assignment of Leases and Consents, (vi) make, execute and deliver to Administrative Agent upon demand and

Administrative Agent may require, as a condition to its approval of a Project Document hereafter entered into, the execution by the contracting party of an agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, whereby said contracting party (i) acknowledges the provisions of this Section 5.01, (ii) subordinates its claims against Borrower to payment in full of the Obligations and to the rights of Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and (iii) agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, Administrative Agent has the right (but not the obligation) to enforce Borrower’s rights under the subject Project Document and/or to terminate the subject Project Document.

(c) Power of Attorney. Effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Collateral Agent as its attorney‑in‑fact, coupled with an interest, to demand, receive and enforce Borrower’s rights with respect to the Plans and Specifications and the Permits, to give appropriate receipts, releases and satisfactions for and on behalf of Borrower and to do any and all acts in the name of Borrower or in the name of Collateral Agent with the same force and effect as if Borrower had performed such acts.
(d) License. Provided no Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the right under a license granted hereby to exercise its rights with respect to the Plans and Specifications and the Permits. The license granted hereby shall be revoked at Administrative Agent’s option upon written notice from Collateral Agent to Borrower after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default.

Upon the indefeasible payment by Borrower in full of all of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments, all of Collateral Agent’s interest in the Project Documents shall automatically be deemed reassigned to Borrower (or terminated if so requested by Borrower) and Collateral Agent shall have no further interest therein. Upon written request from Borrower, Collateral Agent shall, at Borrower’s expense, execute such documentation as is reasonably necessary to reassign or terminate such interest without representation or warranty, express or implied, and without recourse in any event to Collateral Agent.

The policy shall be in an amount not less than the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the Facility and personal property related thereto (without deduction for depreciation). If the policy is a blanket policy covering the Facility and one or more other properties, the policy must specify the dollar amount of the total blanket limit of the policy that is allocated to each property, and the amount so allocated to the Facility must not be less than the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis. During any construction period, such policy shall be written in the so-called “Builder’s Risk Completed Value Non-Reporting Form” with no coinsurance requirement and shall contain a provision granting the insured permission to occupy prior to completion. Such policy shall not contain an exclusion for terrorist losses unless Borrower shall procure a separate Terrorism policy covering Certified Acts of Terrorism in an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the Facility, or the amount of the Loan, whichever is less. This policy must also list Collateral Agent as mortgagee and loss payee.
(v) If the Property, or any part thereof, lies within a “special flood hazard area” as designated on maps prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a National Flood Insurance Program Standard Flood Insurance Policy (“SFIP”) and/or insurance from a private insurance carrier (which may substitute for or supplement, the SFIP) in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent covering the Facility, if applicable, for the duration of the Loans in the amount of the full insurable value of the Facility, if applicable, or the amount of the Loans, whichever is less.
(vi) Such other insurance coverages in such amounts as Administrative Agent may require, which may include, without limitation, errors and omissions insurance with respect to the contractors, architects and engineers.
(b) Policy Requirements; Insurance Consultant. All insurance policies shall (i) be issued by an insurance company licensed to do business in the state where the Facility is located having a rating of “A-” VIII or better by A.M.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
insurance, (iv) provide that Administrative Agent is to receive 30 days written notice prior to non-renewal or cancellation, (v) be evidenced by a certificate of insurance to be provided to Administrative Agent along with a copy of the policy for All-Risk Property coverage or such other evidence of insurance acceptable to Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, (vi) include either policy or binder numbers on the XXXXX form, and (vii) be in form and amounts acceptable to Administrative Agent; provided, however, that with respect to any flood insurance required hereunder, acceptable proof of coverage shall not include certificates of insurance. Administrative Agent, at its option and upon notice to Borrower, may retain, at Borrower’s expense, an insurance consultant to review the insurance for the Facility to confirm that it complies with the terms and conditions set forth herein.
(c) Evidence of Insurance; Payment of Premiums. Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent, at least 5 days before the expiration of an existing policy, evidence acceptable to Administrative Agent of the continuation of the coverage of the expiring policy. If Administrative Agent has not received satisfactory evidence of such continuation of coverage in the time frame herein specified, Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance for Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ interest only. Any amounts so disbursed by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall be repaid by Borrower within 10 days after written demand therefor. Nothing contained in this Section shall require Administrative Agent to incur any expense or take any action hereunder, and inaction by Administrative Agent shall never be considered a waiver of any right accruing to Administrative Agent on account on this Section. The payment by Administrative Agent of any insurance premium for insurance which Borrower is obligated to provide hereunder but which Administrative Agent believes has not been paid, shall be conclusive between the parties as to the legality and amounts so paid. Borrower agrees to pay all premiums on such insurance as they become due, and will not permit any condition to exist on or with respect to the Mortgaged Property which would wholly or partially invalidate any insurance thereon.
(d) Collateral Protection. Unless Borrower provides Administrative Agent with evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Administrative Agent may purchase insurance at Borrower’s expense to protect Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ interest in the Mortgaged Property. This insurance may, but need not, protect Borrower’s interest in the Mortgaged Property. The coverages that Administrative Agent purchases may not pay any claim that Borrower makes or any claim that is made against Borrower in connection with the Mortgaged Property. Borrower or Administrative Agent (as appropriate) may later cancel any insurance purchased by Administrative Agent, but only after Administrative Agent receives satisfactory evidence that Borrower has obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If Administrative Agent purchases insurance for the Mortgaged Property, Borrower will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including any charges imposed by Administrative Agent in connection with the placement of insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of such insurance. The costs of the insurance may, at Administrative Agent’s discretion, be added to Borrower’s total principal obligation owing to Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and in any event shall be secured by the liens on the Mortgaged Property created by the Loan Documents. It is understood and agreed that the costs of insurance obtained by Administrative Agent may be more than the costs of insurance Borrower may be able to obtain on its own.
84
(e) No Liability; Assignment. Administrative Agent shall not by the fact of approving, disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining or failing to obtain any such insurance, incur any liability for the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of insurers, or payment of losses, and Borrower hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all liability, if any, thereunder. Borrower hereby absolutely assigns and transfers to Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any unearned premiums paid on policies and any claims thereunder and Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assign any then existing claims under the same to any purchaser of the Mortgaged Property at any foreclosure sale. In the event of a foreclosure on the Mortgaged Property or other transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Loans, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the insurance policies then in force and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(f) No Separate Insurance. Borrower shall not carry any separate insurance on the Mortgaged Property concurrent in kind or form with any insurance required hereunder or contributing in the event of loss without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, and any such policy shall have attached a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause, with loss payable to Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall otherwise meet all other requirements set forth herein.
(g) Casualty Loss. If all or any part of the Mortgaged Property shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Borrower shall give immediate written notice and make a claim to the insurance carrier and Administrative Agent. With respect to any such casualty loss for which Borrower has an insurance claim that exceeds $2,000.000 Borrower hereby authorizes and empowers Administrative Agent, at Administrative Agent’s option and in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion as attorney-in-fact for Borrower, to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Administrative Agent’s expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds; provided, however, that the foregoing authorization and empowerment of Administrative Agent to act as attorney-in-fact for Borrower shall not become effective until the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or until such time as Borrower fails to diligently pursue the collection of such insurance proceeds if Administrative Agent elects not to pursue collection thereof in Administrative Agent’s opinion. The foregoing appointment is irrevocable, coupled with an interest and continuing so long as the Commitments or Obligations remain outstanding, and such rights, powers and privileges shall be exclusive in Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), its successors and assigns.
As sole loss payee on all policies of casualty insurance, Collateral Agent shall receive all insurance proceeds from any casualty loss, and shall hold the same in an interest-bearing account pending disposition in accordance with this Section 7.01(g). Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent to deduct from such insurance proceeds received by Collateral Agent all of Collateral Agent’s costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the collection thereof (the remainder of such insurance proceeds being referred to herein as “Net Casualty Proceeds”).
85
Prior to Substantial Completion of the Facility, the Net Casualty Proceeds from any casualty loss affecting the Mortgaged Property shall be treated as a Non-Interest Balancing Deposit and disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.05 hereof if all of the following conditions are satisfied within 90 days after the applicable casualty loss: (A) Borrower satisfies Administrative Agent that the construction can be completed no later than 180 days after the Outside Facility Substantial Completion Date; and (B) Borrower delivers to Administrative Agent satisfactory evidence that the Lease will remains in full force and effect. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy the conditions set forth in subclauses (A) or (B) hereof by the required date, Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to apply all Net Casualty Proceeds held by it to the payment of the Obligations.
After Substantial Completion of the Facility, Administrative Agent shall cause the Net Casualty Proceeds from any casualty loss affecting the Mortgaged Property to be disbursed for the cost of reconstruction of the Mortgaged Property if all of the following conditions are satisfied within 90 days after the applicable casualty loss: (A) Borrower satisfies Administrative Agent that the reconstruction can be completed within a reasonable period of time after such casualty loss (but in no event later than the Maturity Date) and that after giving effect to such reconstruction the Mortgaged Property will be restored to its condition immediately prior to the casualty loss; (B) Borrower satisfies Administrative Agent that the Net Casualty Proceeds are sufficient to pay all costs of reconstruction, and if insufficient, Borrower deposits with Administrative Agent additional funds acceptable to Administrative Agent to make up such insufficiency; (C) Borrower delivers to Administrative Agent all plans and specifications and construction contracts for the work of reconstruction and such plans and specifications and construction contracts are in form and content acceptable to Administrative Agent and with a contractor acceptable to Administrative Agent; and (D) the Facility Lease remains in full force and effect. The disbursement of Net Casualty Proceeds pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be in accordance with customary disbursement procedures and shall not be available after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default. Any Net Casualty Proceeds not required to reconstruct the Mortgaged Property shall be delivered to Administrative Agent, for prepayment of the Obligation. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy the conditions set forth in subclauses (A) through (D) hereof by the required date, Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to apply all Net Casualty Proceeds held by it to the payment of the Obligations. Borrower shall have the obligation to promptly and diligently complete the work of reconstruction necessitated by any casualty loss and restore the Mortgaged Property to the equivalent of its condition immediately prior to such casualty provided the applicable Net Casualty Proceeds are made available to Borrower for such purpose.
7.02 Condemnation and Other Awards. Immediately upon receiving written notice of the institution or threatened institution of any proceeding for the condemnation of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of such fact. Borrower shall then file or defend its rights thereunder and prosecute the same with due diligence to its final disposition; provided, however, that Borrower shall not enter into any settlement of such proceeding without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled, at its option, to appear in any such proceeding in its own name on behalf of the Lenders, and upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or if Borrower fails to
86
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
diligently prosecute such proceeding, (a) Administrative Agent shall be entitled, at its option, to appear in and prosecute any such proceeding or to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such condemnation on behalf of Borrower, and (b) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, and such appointment is coupled with an interest, to commence, appear in and prosecute such action or proceeding or to make such compromise or settlement in connection with any such condemnation on its behalf. The foregoing appointment is irrevocable and continuing so long as the Commitments or Obligations remain outstanding, and such rights, powers and privileges shall be exclusive in Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), its successors and assigns. If the Mortgaged Property or any material part thereof is taken or materially diminished in value in connection with such condemnation, or if a consent settlement is entered, by or under threat of such proceeding, the award or settlement payable to Borrower by virtue of its interest in the Mortgaged Property, shall be, and by these presents is, assigned, transferred and set over unto Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Any such award or settlement shall be first applied to reimburse Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the collection of such award or settlement. The balance of such award or settlement (the “Net Condemnation Proceeds”) shall be paid to Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties for application in the manner set forth in Section 7.01(g) as if such award or settlement constituted insurance proceeds from a casualty loss; provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to make Net Condemnation Proceeds available for construction or reconstruction of the Mortgaged Property unless Administrative Agent has determined that the Mortgaged Property as so constructed or reconstructed after giving effect to the condemnation would have a value that is no less than its value would have been had there been no such condemnation. Borrower shall have the obligation to promptly and diligently complete the work of reconstruction necessitated by any condemnation and restore the Mortgaged Property to the equivalent of its condition immediately prior to such condemnation (or if the initial construction of the Improvements is not substantially complete at the time of such condemnation, continue the construction of the Improvements in accordance with the terms hereof) provided the applicable Net Condemnation Proceeds are made available to Borrower for such purpose.
7.03 Provisions of the Facility Lease to Govern. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02, so long as Facility Lease shall be in full force and effect, Administrative Agent agrees to permit the use of Net Casualty Proceeds and Net Condemnation Proceeds consistently with the terms of the Facility Lease, if and to the extent Borrower is obligated under the Facility Lease to make such proceeds available for construction or reconstruction of the Facility. The remaining provisions of Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 shall apply to the extent that they are consistent with the terms of the Facility Lease. Any portion of Net Casualty Proceeds and/or Net Condemnation Proceeds not so made available for construction or reconstruction of the Facility or otherwise payable to Borrower pursuant to the Facility Lease shall be applied in accordance with the terms of Section 7.01 or Section 7.02, as the case may be.

ACCELERATION AND REMEDIES
ACCELERATION AND REMEDIES
9.01 Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 8.01(d), (e), (f) or (g) hereof occurs with respect to Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without
91
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
any election or action on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs, Administrative Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders, may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby expressly waives. If the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, Administrative Agent shall, by notice to Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.
(a) Generally. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default hereunder, Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall have the right, in person or by agent, to exercise all rights and remedies available to Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and in respect of the Loan Collateral, including, without limitation:
(i) All rights to direct the Collateral Agent to exercise sole and exclusive control over the Collateral Accounts and to disburse funds from the Collateral Accounts in payment of the obligations secured thereby;
(ii) All rights under the Borrower Member Pledge Agreement in the Borrower Member Collateral;
(iii) All rights as a secured party hereunder under the Borrower Collateral; and
(iv) If a Default has occurred and is continuing under the Facility Lease, all rights of Borrower in the Facility Lessee Collateral.
92
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
contractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for said purposes; (d) pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which may be liens against the Mortgaged Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for such Completion of the Facility or for clearance of title; (e) execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (f) prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Mortgaged Property or the construction of the Improvements and take such action and require such performance as it deems necessary under any bond or guaranty of completion; and (g) do any and every act which Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. It is further understood and agreed that this power of attorney, which shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, cannot be revoked.
(c) Any such actions taken by Administrative Agent shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Administrative Agent permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to applicable law, Borrower agrees that if a Default is continuing (i) Administrative Agent is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Administrative Agent shall remain in full force and effect until Administrative Agent has exhausted all of its remedies against the Borrower Collateral and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of all of the Obligations under the Loan Documents.
(d) Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, Borrower hereby waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable law (a) all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonperformance (except to the extent required by the provisions hereof or of any other Loan Documents), protests and notices of dishonor, (b) any requirement of diligence or promptness on Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ part in the enforcement of its rights (but not fulfillment of its obligations) under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (c) any and all notices of every kind and description which may be required to be given by any statute or rule of law and are not otherwise required to be given hereunder or under any other Loan Document, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
(e) No course of dealing and no delay or omission by Administrative Agent, the Lenders or Borrower in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. No waiver or consent shall be binding upon Administrative Agent or the Lenders unless it is in writing and signed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent’s exercise of Administrative Agent’s right to remedy any default by Borrower to Administrative Agent or any other Person shall not constitute a waiver of the default remedied, a waiver of any other prior or subsequent default by Borrower or a waiver of the right to be reimbursed for any and all of its expenses in so remedying such default. The making of an Advance hereunder during the existence of a Default shall not constitute a waiver
93
thereof. No Advance of Loan proceeds hereunder, no increase or decrease in the amount of any Advance, and no making of all or any part of an Advance prior to the due date thereof shall constitute an approval or acceptance by Administrative Agent or the Lenders of the work theretofore done or a waiver of any of the conditions of the Lenders’ obligation to make further Advances, nor in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any such failure to insist upon strict compliance have the effect of precluding the Lenders from thereafter refusing to make an Advance and/or declaring such inability to be a Default as hereinabove provided. All Advances shall be deemed to have been made pursuant hereto and not in contravention of the terms of this Agreement.
(f) The rights, powers and remedies of Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as the Lenders may determine in the Lenders’ sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon the occurrence and continuation of a 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 with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
9.03 Curing of Defaults. Upon the occurrence of a Default hereunder, Administrative Agent or any Lender, without waiving any right of acceleration or foreclosure under the Loan Documents which Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have by reason of such Default or any other right Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have against Borrower because of said Default, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to take such actions and make such payments as shall be necessary to cure such Default, including, without limitation, the making of Advances. All amounts so expended shall constitute Obligations and shall be payable by Borrower on demand by Administrative Agent.
10.01 Appointment.
(a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and to execute, deliver, administer and perform the Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party (including in which it is expressed to be a party for the benefit of the Secured Parties).

(f) Promptly after Administrative Agent acquires actual knowledge thereof, Administrative Agent will give written notice to each Lender of any Lien on the Property or Default or Unmatured Default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without, limitation, notice if any payment of principal or interest on the Loans is not made when due. Administrative Agent agrees to consult with the Lenders in respect of any material remedial action to be taken in respect of any such Default or Unmatured Default (which consultation shall include Administrative Agent’s request for the additional fees it will require from the Lenders in connection with dealing with such Default or Unmatured Default and proposed workout of the Loans) and shall act in accordance in all material respects with any decision of the Required Lenders (and shall be fully protected in so acting). Administrative Agent agrees that during any period of any Default, Administrative Agent will not take any remedial action without the prior agreement and consent of the Required Lenders.
(g) Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender its Applicable Percentage of any payment on account of principal or interest received by Administrative Agent by credit to an account of such Lender in accordance with written wiring instructions received by Administrative Agent from such Lender, or to such other
95
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
Person or in such other manner as such Lender may designate, provided any other designated account is maintained at a commercial bank located in the United States of America. If any payments are received by Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. (New York time), then provided Administrative Agent shall not be able to distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage of any such payment on the same day as such payment is received by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall hold such payment to the extent not so distributed for the benefit of the respective Lenders ratably, shall invest any such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such payment not so distributed in overnight federal funds for the benefit of such Lender and such Lender shall be entitled to receive its Applicable Percentage of such payment together with interest earned thereon on the following Business Day.
10.02 Capacity as Lender. The bank serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not Administrative Agent hereunder.
10.03 Duties and Obligations. Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents to which it is a party.

Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders (other than Subordinated Lender) shall have the right to appoint a successor.

bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank.

10.08 Lender Actions Against Collateral. Each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, with respect to the Obligations, against Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other obligor under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Project Documents or against any of the Loan Collateral (including, without limitation, set-off rights) without the consent of the Required Lenders. With respect to any action by Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent to enforce the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Lender hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the court in which such action is maintained, and agrees to deliver its Note to Administrative Agent to the extent necessary to enforce the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Mortgage in accordance with the provisions hereof. Each Lender agrees to indemnify each of the other Lenders for any loss or damage suffered or cost incurred by such other Lender (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses and other costs of defense) as a result of the breach of this Section 10.08 by such Lender.

Unless a Lender shall give written notice to Administrative Agent that it objects to the recommendation (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) prior to the expiration of the Lender Reply Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination. With respect to decisions requiring the approval of the Required Lenders or all Lenders, Administrative Agent shall timely submit any required written notices to all Lenders and upon receiving the required approval or consent shall follow the course of action or determination recommended by Administrative Agent or such other course of action recommended by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be and each non-responding Lender shall be deemed to have concurred with such recommended course of action.
99
10.10 Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a) Suspension of Voting Rights. Such Defaulting Lender shall not have the right to vote on any issue on which voting is required (other than to the extent expressly provided in Section 11.02(b)) and the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder.
(b) Turn Over of Payments. All amounts payable hereunder to the Defaulting Lender in respect of the Obligations (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, including, without limitation, interest payments from interest reserve allocations to the Defaulting Lender and any amounts that would otherwise be payable to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.10, but excluding Section 3.11(b)) hereof, shall be paid to Administrative Agent, retained in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: (i) first, to the payment of any reasonable amounts actually due and owing by the Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder as determined by Administrative Agent in good faith, (ii) second, to the funding of any Advance in respect of which the Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent, in good faith (iii) third, to the payment of any reasonable amounts actually due and owing by the Defaulting Lender to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, including without limitation for any Special Advance under paragraph (c) of this Section 10.11, as determined by Administrative Agent in good faith and (iv) fourth, to the Defaulting Lender.
(c) Special Advances. If a Lender fails to fund its portion of any Advance, in whole or part (such amount, a “Deficiency”), within 10 Business Days after the date required hereunder and Administrative Agent shall not have funded such Deficiency under Section 3.03(b) hereof, Administrative Agent shall so notify the Lenders in writing, and within 3 Business Days after delivery of such notice, the Non-Defaulting Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, in their respective, sole and absolute discretion, to fund all or a portion of such Deficiency (the amount so funded by any such Non-Defaulting Lenders being referred to herein as a “Special Advance”) to Borrower. In such event, the Defaulting Lender and Borrower agree to pay to Administrative Agent for payment to the Lenders making the Special Advance, forthwith on demand such amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the interest rate that would have been applicable to such Deficiency if funded by the Defaulting Lender.
100
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
(i) By Required Lenders. The Required Lenders may, upon notice to the Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent, require the Defaulting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.04 hereof) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Defaulting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); and (ii) Administrative Agent shall have received payment of any amounts owing by such Lender to Administrative Agent or the other Lenders under this Agreement. The Defaulting Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender.
(ii) By Borrower. If the Lender has become a Defaulting Lender due to a failure to fund its Loans hereunder, Borrower may at its option replace Defaulting Lender under Section 3.11(b) hereof.
(f) Indemnification. Each Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Administrative Agent, each Non-Defaulting Lender and Borrower from and against any out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent, any Non-Defaulting Lender or Borrower with respect to the Loan Documents arising out of such Lender’s status as a Defaulting Lender (including in enforcing the foregoing indemnification.

(g) Ceasing to be a Defaulting Lender. A Lender shall cease to be Defaulting Lender only upon (i) the payment of all amounts due and payable by Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent or any other Lender under this Agreement; (ii) the payment of any out-of-pocket damages suffered by Borrower or any other Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s default hereunder; and (iii) the circumstances described in clause (d) of the definition of “Defaulting Lender” do not exist. An assignment by a Lender of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not in and of itself cause the Lender to cease to be a Defaulting Lender.
10.11 Borrower’s Rights. The provisions of this Article X are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and Borrower shall not have any rights to rely on, enforce or consent to any waiver, modification or amendment of, any of the provisions hereof; provided, however, that Borrower (a) acknowledges and agrees to the limitations set forth in Section 11.02(c) hereof on Administrative Agent’s ability to act unilaterally with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Project Documents, and (b) agrees that Administrative Agent’s inability to deliver any consent to, or approval of, an action requested by
101
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
Borrower due to lack of appropriate Required Lender consent in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.02(c) hereof or the Agreement Among Lenders shall not constitute an unreasonable withholding or delay by Administrative Agent in the giving of such consent or approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be entitled to rely on consents and approvals executed by Administrative Agent without investigation as to the existence of proper Lender authorization. As among Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the provisions of this Article 10 may be amended, waived or otherwise modified by Administrative Agent and the Lenders without Borrower’s consent and without the need for Borrower to be party to any of the same.
10.12 Non-liability of Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) any inspections of the construction of the Improvements made by or through Administrative Agent or the Lenders are for purposes of administration of the Loan only and Borrower is not entitled to rely upon the same with respect to the quality, adequacy or suitability of materials or workmanship, conformity to the Plans and Specifications, state of completion or otherwise; Borrower shall make its own inspections of such construction to determine that the quality of the Improvements and all other requirements of such construction are being performed in a manner satisfactory to Borrower and in conformity with the Plans and Specifications and all other requirements; and Borrower shall immediately notify Administrative Agent, in writing, should the same not be in conformity with the Plans and Specifications and all other requirements;
(b) by accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents, including any certificate, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, lease or insurance policy, neither Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by Administrative Agent or the Lenders;
(c) neither Administrative Agent nor the Lenders undertake nor assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower of any matter in connection with the Property, including, without limitation, matters relating to the quality, adequacy or suitability of: (i) the Plans and Specifications, (ii) architects, contractors, subcontractors and materialmen employed or utilized in connection with the construction of the Improvements, or the workmanship of or the materials used by any of them, or (iii) the progress or course of construction and its conformity or nonconformity with the Plans and Specifications; and Borrower shall rely entirely upon its own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information to Borrower by Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with such matters is for the protection of Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders only and neither Borrower nor any third party is entitled to rely thereon;
102

(d) neither Administrative Agent nor the Lenders owe any duty of care to protect Borrower against negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective building structures, procedures or materials or construction;
(e) neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable for any act or omission of any Defaulting Lender; and

11.02 Waivers; Amendments.
(a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 11.02(b) hereof, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

(c) Actions by Administrative Agent. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in this Agreement), and any action taken by Administrative Agent not requiring consent by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in this Agreement) shall be authorized by and binding upon all Lenders. Borrower acknowledges that the right of the Administrative Agent to grant consent or waivers hereunder or under any Loan Document is subject to consent and approval rights of the Required Lenders, as provided herein and in the Agreement Among Lenders.
11.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a) Expenses. Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lenders and each of their Affiliates, including appraisal fees, inspection fees, charges, title and escrow charges, the cost of Intralinks or a similar electronic workspace, and the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for Administrative Agent, in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any extensions, amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of‑pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans, including the cost of the Independent Engineer as provided in Section 3.07(e) hereof.

106
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such Losses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. The foregoing indemnity set forth in this Section 11.03(b) shall not apply (i) with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim and (ii) to any Losses which are the subject of the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, it being the intention of the parties hereto that Borrower’s liability for environmental matters be governed exclusively by the Environmental Indemnity Agreement and not by this Agreement.
(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to Administrative Agent under Section 11.03(a) or (b) hereof, each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.
(d) Damage Waiver. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this clause (d) shall relieve Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.
(e) Payment of Amounts Due. All amounts due under this Section 11.03 shall be payable promptly, but in no events later than 30 days after written demand therefor.
11.04 Successors and Assigns.
(a) Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 11.04.

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.04(c) hereof.
(iv) Administrative Agent shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).

109

No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section.
(vi) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, no Lender may assign its interest under the Loans to any party without the prior written consent of Borrower, which Borrower may withhold in its sole discretion, if a consequence of such assignment is that at the time of such assignment Borrower would be subjected to additional charges under either of Sections 3.08 or 3.09 hereof.* 6
(c) Participations.
(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a ”Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged (and in no event shall such Lender be released of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any participation), (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) Borrower, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, no Lender shall sell participations without the prior written consent of Borrower, which Borrower may withhold in its sole discretion, if a consequence of doing so is that Borrower would be subjected to additional charges under either of Sections 3.08 or 3.09 hereof. Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.11 hereof as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.08 or 3.09 hereof, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.11(b) hereof with
6* Under Lender review.

To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 hereof as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Sections 3.10(c) and 10.08 hereof as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under any Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(ii) In no event may a Participant be Borrower, any Guarantor or an Affiliate of Borrower or of any Guarantor.
(d) Pledges by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees paid to Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

11.07 Right of Set-off. If a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and to the extent permitted under Section 10.08 hereof, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any of and all the obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender agrees to obtain approval of the Required Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) before exercising such rights.
