If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, the following shall apply: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.2.3), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Payments pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 shall be made within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.
2.2.4 Breakage Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify Lender against any loss or expense which Lender may actually sustain or incur in liquidating or redeploying deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain the Loan or any part thereof or any Swap Agreement (if applicable) as a consequence of (i) any payment or prepayment of the Loan or any portion thereof made on a date other than a Payment Date and (ii) any default in payment or prepayment of the Principal or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the date thereof or otherwise, and whether by acceleration or otherwise). Lender shall deliver to Borrower a statement for any such sums which it is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.2.4, which statement shall be binding and conclusive absent manifest error.

2.3 Loan Repayment.
2.3.1 Repayment. Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note in full on the Maturity Date, together with interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of repayment and any other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of any repayment, including any prepayments of the Loan, shall be applied by Lender as follows in the following order of priority: First, to any amounts then due and owing under the Loan Documents; Second, accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate; and Third on a pari passu basis, to Principal and to any amounts due under any Swap Agreements, if any. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment, including any payment or recovery on the Property (whether through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, be applied in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion.
2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. The Loan is subject to mandatory prepayment in certain instances of Insured Casualty or Condemnation (each a “Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”), in the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 7.4.2. Each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment, after deducting Lender’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with the settlement or collection of the Proceeds or Award, shall be applied in the same manner as repayments under Section 2.3.1, and if such Casualty/Condemnation Payment is made on any date other than a Payment Date, then such Casualty/Condemnation Payment shall include interest accrued through the date of repayment, however, if a Swap Agreement is in effect, such Casualty/Condemnation Payment shall include interest that would have accrued on the Principal prepaid to but not including the next Payment Date. Unless agreed to by Lender and Borrower, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall be applied in inverse order of maturity and shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the monthly installments due under the Note or this Agreement, or change the amounts of such installments.
2.3.3 Optional Prepayments. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the right to prepay all or any portion of the Principal provided that Borrower gives Lender at least five (5) days prior written notice thereof. If any such prepayment is not made on a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay interest accrued on such prepaid Principal through the date of repayment, however, if a Swap Agreement is in effect, Borrower shall pay interest that would have accrued on such prepaid Principal to, but not including, the next Payment Date.

2.5 Payments and Computations.
2.5.1 Making of Payments. Each payment by Borrower shall be made in U.S. dollars immediately available to Lender by 3:00 p.m., New Orleans, Louisiana time, on the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. Whenever any such payment shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day thereafter. All such payments shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and are payable without relief from valuation and appraisement laws and with all costs and charges incurred in the collection or enforcement thereof, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.
2.5.2 Computations. Interest payable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.
2.5.3 Late Payment Charge. Unless waived by Lender in writing, if any Principal, interest or other sum due under any Loan Document (excluding any payments due on the Maturity Date) is not paid by Borrower within ten (10) days after the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (the “Late Payment Charge”), in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Such amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents.
2.6 Swap Agreements.
2.6.1 (a) At closing of the Loan, Borrower shall hedge the floating interest expense of the Loan for the full term of the Loan (except the first year thereof), by maintaining one or more swap agreements (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101) with the Lender or its Affiliate (a “Swap Agreement”), or with another financial institution approved by Lender in writing, in an aggregate notional amount up to the outstanding Principal balance of the Loan originally scheduled to be outstanding over such term when the Swap Agreement is executed, all upon terms and subject to such conditions as shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender (or if such transactions are with another financial institution, all upon terms and subject to such conditions as shall be approved by the Lender in writing).
2.6.2 In order for a swap agreement (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101) entered into with another financial institution to be approved by Lender in writing, such other financial institution must at minimum have a long term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating of at least A- by S&P and A3 by Xxxxx’x.
13 |
2.6.3 In order for a swap agreement (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101) entered into with another financial institution to be approved by Lender in writing, Borrower’s interest in such swap agreement must have been assigned to Lender pursuant to documentation satisfactory to Lender in form and substance, and the counterparty to such swap agreement must have executed and delivered to Lender an acknowledgment of such assignment, which acknowledgment includes such counterparty’s agreement to pay directly into a deposit account under the sole control of Lender all sums payable by such counterparty pursuant to the swap agreement and shall otherwise be satisfactory to Lender in form and substance.
2.6.4 Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to Lender such confirmations and agreements as may be requested by Lender in connection with such Swap Agreement. The Borrower’s obligations under the Swap Agreement shall be secured by the Property.
2.6.5 Borrower agrees that Lender shall not have any obligation, duty or responsibility to Borrower or any other Person by reason of, or in connection with, any swap agreement (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101) (including any duty to provide or arrange any swap agreement), to consent to any mortgage or pledge of the Property or any portion thereof as security for Borrower’s performance of its obligations under any swap agreement, or to provide any credit or financial support for the obligations of Borrower or any other Person thereunder or with respect thereto). No Swap Agreement shall alter, impair, restrict, limit or modify in any respect the obligation of Borrower to pay interest on the Loan as and when the same becomes due and payable in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents.
2.6.6 All payments made by the counterparty to any Swap Agreement entered into with any financial institution other than Lender, and reasonably approved by Lender in writing, shall be deposited into a deposit account under the sole control of Lender and applied in the same manner as Rents are applied under Section 3.
2.6.7 Any Swap Agreements are independent agreements governed by the written provisions thereof, which shall remain in full force and effect unaffected by any repayment, prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change in the terms of the Loan, except as otherwise expressly provided in such Swap Agreement, and any payoff statement from Lender relating to the Loan shall not apply to such Swap Agreement except as otherwise expressly provided in such payoff statement.

2.9 Increased Costs.
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender;
(ii) impose on Lender any other condition affecting this Agreement or the Loan or participation therein; or
(iii) subject Lender to any 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 Lender of making or maintaining any Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital or on the capital of Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loan to a level below that which Lender or Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Lender’s policies and the policies of Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within sixty (60) days after receipt thereof.
15 |
(d) Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 120 days prior to the date Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

3.6 Casualty/Condemnation Account. Subject to the terms of the existing Leases, Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Lender all Proceeds or Awards due to any Casualty or Condemnation to be deposited into a separate account with Lender or transferred to an account with Lender (the “Casualty/Condemnation Account”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 7. All amounts in the Casualty/Condemnation Account shall disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.
3.7 Security Deposits. Borrower shall keep and hold all security deposits under Leases in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements (and in the case of a letter of credit, assigned with full power of attorney and executed sight drafts to Lender). After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon Lender’s request, if permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, turn over, or cause to be turned over, to Lender the security deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon) under Leases, to be held by Lender in an account (the “Security Deposit Account”) subject to the terms of the Leases. Security deposits held in the Security Deposit Account will be released by Lender upon notice from Borrower together with such evidence as Lender may reasonably request that such security deposit is required to be returned to a tenant pursuant to the terms of a Lease or may be applied as Rent pursuant to the rights of Borrower under the applicable Lease. Any letter of credit or other instrument that Borrower receives in lieu of a cash security deposit under any Lease entered into after the date hereof shall (i) be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount unless replaced by a cash deposit as hereinabove described and (ii) if permitted pursuant to any Legal Requirements, name Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Lender’s option, be fully assignable to Lender).

3.10 Grant of Security Interest; Application of Funds. As security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all Rents and in and to all payments to or monies held in any accounts with Lender created pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Cash Management Accounts”). Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of Lender, all Rents in its possession prior to the (i) payment of such Rents to Lender or (ii) deposit of such Rents into a deposit account under the sole control of Lender. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management Account, if any, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums in any Cash Management Account, if any, in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Mortgage or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents. Cash Management Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. All interest which accrues on the funds in any Cash Management Account shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to Borrower and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued. Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the Cash Management Accounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower.
4. | REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES |
Borrower represents and warrants to Lender as of the date hereof that, except to the extent (if any) disclosed on Schedule 2 with reference to a specific Section of this Section 4:
4.1 Organization; Special Purpose. Borrower has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, with requisite power and authority, and all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to own its properties and to transact the business in every state in which it is now engaged.

17 |
4.2 Proceedings; Enforceability. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and, to Borrower’s knowledge, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and general principles of equity. To Borrower’s knowledge, the Loan Documents are not subject to, and Borrower has not asserted, any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury. To Borrower’s knowledge, no exercise of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or any right thereunder, will render any Loan Document unenforceable.
4.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower and the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property of Borrower pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which its property is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of its properties. Borrower’s rights under the Licenses and the Management Agreement will not be adversely affected by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, Borrower’s performance thereunder, the recordation of the Mortgage, or the exercise of any remedies by Lender. Any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.4 Litigation. To Borrower’s knowledge, there are no actions, suits or other proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower, the Manager or the Property, which, if adversely determined, are reasonably likely to result in a material adverse effect of the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower (including the ability of Borrower to carry out its obligations under the Loan Documents), Manager or the use, value, condition or ownership of the Property.
4.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially, adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Permitted Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or the Property is bound.
18 |
4.6 Title. Borrower has good, marketable and indefeasible fee title to the real property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens except the Permitted Encumbrances. All transfer taxes, deed stamps, intangible taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer taxes required to be paid by Borrower or any other Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the transfer of the Property to Borrower have been paid. The Mortgage when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any UCC Financing Statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (i) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Borrower’s interest in the Property and (ii) valid and perfected first priority security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances. All mortgage, recording, stamp, intangible or other similar taxes required to be paid by Borrower or any other Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any of the Loan Documents have been paid. The Permitted Encumbrances do not materially, adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property, or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. Other than as disclosed on Schedule 4.6 attached hereto, no Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced, of which Borrower has received notice or, to Borrower’s knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or part of the Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to the Property. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents. There are no outstanding options to purchase or rights of first refusal to purchase affecting all or any portion (except the tenant’s rights under the PetCo lease) of the Property. The survey for the Property delivered to Lender does not fail to reflect any material matter affecting the Property or the title thereto. All of the Improvements included in determining the appraised value of the Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property, and no improvement on an adjoining property encroaches upon the Property, and no easement or other encumbrance upon the Property encroaches upon any of the Improvements, except those insured against by the Title Insurance Policy. Each parcel comprising the Property is a separate tax lot and is not a portion of any other tax lot that is not a part of the Property. There are no pending or proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, or any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other assessments. With respect to the Title Insurance Policy, (i) at the time that Lender makes the Loan, the Title Insurance Policy will be in full force and effect, (ii) the Title Insurance Policy is freely assignable by Lender to and will inure to the benefit of the transferee (subject to recordation of an assignment of mortgage) without the consent or any notification to the insurer, (iii) the premium with respect thereto has been paid in full (or will be paid in full with a portion of the proceeds of the Loan), (iv) the Title Insurance Policy is issued by a title insurance company licensed to issue policies in the State, (v) to Borrower’s knowledge, no claims have been made under the Title Insurance Policy and no other action has been taken that would materially impair the Title Insurance Policy and (vi) the Title Insurance Policy contains no exclusions for any of the following circumstances, or it affirmatively insures Lender against losses relating to any of the following circumstances (unless the Property is located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available): (a) that the Property has access to a public road and (b) that the area shown on the survey delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage.
4.7 No Bankruptcy Filing. Neither Borrower nor any Guarantor is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law or the liquidation of all or a major portion of its property (a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), and neither Borrower nor any Guarantor has any knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against Borrower or any Guarantor. In addition, neither Borrower nor any principal nor Affiliate of Borrower has been a party to, or the subject of a Bankruptcy Proceeding for the past ten years.
4.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower or any Guarantor in any Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower that has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, or, as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower. All financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of Borrower and the Property (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower and the Property as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein; provided, however, that if any financial data is delivered to Lender by any Person other than Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor, or if such financial data has been prepared by or at the direction of any Person other than Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor, then the foregoing representations with respect to such financial data shall be to each Borrower’s knowledge, after due inquiry. Borrower has no contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments, unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments or any liabilities or obligations not expressly permitted by this Agreement. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower or the Property from that set forth in said financial statements.
4.9 Tax Filings. To the extent required, Borrower has filed on a consolidated basis with Guarantor (or has obtained effective extensions for filing) all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed and have paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable by Borrower. Borrower believes that its tax returns (if any) properly reflect the income and taxes of Borrower for the periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon audit.
19 |
4.10 No Plan Assets. As of the date hereof and throughout the Term (i) Borrower is not and will not be an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, (ii) none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, (iii) Borrower is not and will not be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (iv) transactions by or with Borrower are not and will not be subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans.

4.11 Compliance. To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower and the Property and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements (including with respect to parking and applicable zoning and land use laws, regulations and ordinances). Borrower is not in default nor aware of any pending or actual violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, the violation of which might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower. The Property is used exclusively for retail and other appurtenant and related uses. In the event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits. No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the zoning of the Property. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than the Property. All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including certificates of completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Property (collectively, the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and effect. The use being made of the Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for the Property and all other restrictions, covenants and conditions affecting the Property.
4.12 Contracts. To Borrower’s knowledge, there are no service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property that are not terminable on one month’s notice or less without cause and without penalty or premium, unless approved by Lender in writing. All service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property and entered into by Borrower have been entered into at arms-length in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business and provide for the payment of fees in amounts and upon terms comparable to existing market rates.
20 |
4.13 Federal Reserve Regulations; Investment Company Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other regulation of such Board of Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Legal Requirements or any Loan Document. Borrower is not (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or (iii) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.
4.14 Easements; Utilities and Public Access. All easements, cross easements, licenses, air rights and rights-of-way or other similar property interests (collectively, “Easements”), if any, necessary for the full utilization of the Improvements for their intended purposes have been obtained, are described in the Title Insurance Policy and are in full force and effect without default thereunder. The Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service it for its intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of the Property are located in the public right-of-way abutting the Property, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property absent a valid easement. All roads necessary for the use of the Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.
4.15 Physical Condition. To Borrower’s knowledge, the Property, including all Improvements, parking facilities, systems, Equipment and landscaping, are in good condition, order and repair in all material respects; there exists no structural or other material defect or damages to the Property, whether latent or otherwise. Borrower has not received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defect or inadequacy in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect its insurability or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or any termination of any policy of insurance or bond. No portion of the Property is located in an area as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards. The Improvements have suffered no material casualty or damage which has not been fully repaired and the cost thereof fully paid.
21 |
4.16 Leases. The rent roll attached hereto as Schedule 3 (the “Rent Roll”) is true, complete and correct in all material respects and the Borrower has not entered into any leases other than the Leases described in the Rent Roll. Except as set forth on the Rent Roll or otherwise disclosed to Lender in writing: (i) each Lease is in full force and effect; (ii) the tenants under the Leases have accepted possession of and are in occupancy of all of their respective demised premises, have commenced the payment of rent under the Leases, and there are no offsets, claims or defenses to the enforcement thereof; (iii) all rents due and payable under the Leases have been paid (except as set forth on Schedule 4.16) and no portion thereof has been paid for any period more than thirty (30) days in advance; (iv) the rent payable under each Lease is the amount of fixed rent set forth in the Rent Roll, and there is no claim or basis for a claim by the tenant thereunder for an adjustment to the rent; (v) no tenant has made any claim against the landlord under any Lease which remains outstanding, there are no defaults on the part of the landlord under any Lease, and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default; (vi) to Borrower’s knowledge, there is no present material default by the tenant under any Lease; (vii) all security deposits under Leases are as set forth on the Rent Roll and are held consistent with Section 3.7; (viii) Borrower is the sole owner of the entire lessor’s interest in each Lease; (ix) each Lease is the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Borrower and the applicable tenant thereunder; (x) no Person has any possessory interest in, or right to occupy, the Property except under the terms of the Lease; and (xi) each Major Lease is subordinate to the Loan Documents, either pursuant to its terms or pursuant to a subordination and attornment agreement. Neither the Leases nor the Rents have been assigned or pledged by Borrowers except to Lender, and no other Person has any interest therein except the tenants thereunder.
4.17 Fraudulent Transfer. Borrower has not entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower’s total probable liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

Such insurance policy shall also insure for ordinance of law coverage, costs of demolition and increased cost of construction in amounts satisfactory to Lender. Each such insurance policy shall (i) be in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) 100% of the then replacement cost of the Improvements without deduction for physical depreciation and (B) the unpaid Principal, (ii) have deductibles no greater than the lesser of $100,000 or 5% of Net Operating Income per occurrence, (iii) be paid annually in advance and (iv) be on a replacement cost basis and contain either no coinsurance or, if coinsurance, an agreed amount endorsement, and shall cover, without limitation, all tenant improvements and betterments that Borrower is required to insure on a replacement cost basis.

(b) Flood insurance if any part of the Property is located in an area now or hereafter designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a Zone “A” & “V” Special Hazard Area, or such other Special Hazard Area if Lender so requires in its reasonable discretion. Such policy shall (i) be in an amount equal to (A) 100% of the full replacement cost of the Improvements on the Property (without any deduction for depreciation) or (B) such other amount as agreed to by Lender and (ii) have a maximum permissible deductible of $5,000.
(c) Public liability insurance, including (i) “Commercial General Liability Insurance”, (ii) “Owned”, “Hired” and “Non Owned Auto Liability”, if applicable; and (iii) umbrella liability coverage for personal injury, bodily injury, death, accident and property damage, such insurance providing in combination no less than containing minimum limits per occurrence of $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 in the aggregate for any policy year with no deductible or self-insured retention; together with at least $25,000,000 excess and/or umbrella liability insurance for any and all claims.

49 |
(d) Rental loss and/or business interruption insurance (i) with Lender being named as “Lender Loss Payee”, (ii) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected Rents from the Property during the event that caused the loss of income, not to exceed an income amount of 18 months; and (iii) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of eighteen (18) months from the date that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of such insurance shall be increased from time to time during the Term as and when the estimated or actual Rents increase.
(e) Comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance covering all mechanical and electrical equipment against physical damage, rent loss and improvements loss and covering, without limitation, all tenant improvements and betterments that Borrower is required to insure pursuant to the lease on a replacement cost basis and in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $2,000,000 and (ii) 100% of the full replacement cost of the Improvements on such Property (without any deduction for depreciation).

(g) During any period of construction, repair or restoration being conducted by Borrower and not otherwise insured by tenant, builder’s “all-risk” insurance on the so called completed value basis in an amount equal to not less than the full insurable value of the Property, against such risks (including fire and extended coverage and collapse of the Improvements to agreed limits) as Lender may request, in form and substance acceptable to Lender.
(h) Coverage to compensate for ordinance of law the cost of demolition and the increased cost of construction in an amount satisfactory to Lender.
(i) Such other insurance (including, but not limited to, environmental liability insurance, earthquake insurance, sinkhole insurance, mine subsidence insurance and windstorm insurance) as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in order to protect its interests.
50 |

If Borrower does not furnish such evidence and receipts prior to the expiration of any expiring Policy, then Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand, with interest accruing at the Default Rate. Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of the insurance coverage required to be maintained by Borrower hereunder. Within a reasonable time frame after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, provided Lender has provided appraisals or other such documentation to justify the requested increase, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like.
51 |
7.2 Casualty.
7.2.1 Notice; Restoration. If the Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give notice thereof to Lender within five (5) Business Days. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed (or cause to restore, repair, replace or rebuild) to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction, subject to the terms of the Leases.
7.2.2 Settlement of Proceeds. Subject to the terms of the Leases, if a Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an “Insured Casualty”) occurs where the loss does not exceed $250,000, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust any claim without the prior consent of Lender; provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for the insurance proceeds (the “Proceeds”). Subject to the terms of the Leases, in the event of an Insured Casualty where the loss equals or exceeds $250,000 (a “Significant Casualty”), Lender may, in its sole and reasonable discretion, settle and adjust any claim in conjunction with Borrower and agree with the insurer(s) on the amount to be paid on the loss, and the Proceeds shall be due and payable to Borrower and Lender and held by Lender in the Casualty/Condemnation Account and disbursed in accordance herewith. If Borrower or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing Proceeds with respect to a Significant Casualty, Borrower shall, subject to the terms of the Leases, immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender. The expenses incurred by Lender in the settlement, adjustment and collection of the Proceeds shall become part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance carrier makes a payment under a property insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance carrier as to the purpose of such payment, as between Lender and Borrower, such payment shall not be treated as business or rental interruption insurance proceeds unless Borrower has demonstrated to Lender’s satisfaction that the remaining net Proceeds that will be received from the property insurance carriers are sufficient to pay 100% of the cost of fully restoring the Improvements or, if such net Proceeds are to be applied to repay the Debt in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining net Proceeds will be sufficient to pay the Debt in full.
52 |
7.3 Condemnation.
7.3.1 Notice; Restoration. Borrower shall give Lender written Notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting the Property (a “Condemnation”) within one (1) Business Day of actual constructive notice thereof, and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether an Award is available but subject to the terms of the Leases, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character (and to have the same utility) as prior to such Condemnation.
7.3.2 Collection of Award. Notwithstanding any Condemnation (or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such Condemnation), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Loan Documents, and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any award or payment in respect of a Condemnation (an “Award”) Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided in the Note. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive all or a portion of the Award sufficient to pay the Debt. Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be paid directly to Lender. Lender shall hold such Award in the Casualty/Condemnation Account and disburse such Award in accordance with the terms hereof.
7.4 Application of Proceeds or Award.
7.4.1 Application to Restoration. Subject to the terms of the Leases, if an Insured Casualty or Condemnation occurs where (i) the loss is in an aggregate amount less than the fifteen percent (15%) of the unpaid Principal, (ii) in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the Property can be restored within six months, and prior to six months before the scheduled Maturity Date and prior to the expiration of the rental or business interruption insurance with respect thereto, to the Property’s pre-existing condition and utility as existed immediately prior to such Insured Casualty or Condemnation and to an economic unit not less valuable and not less useful than the same was immediately prior to the Insured Casualty or Condemnation, and after such restoration will adequately secure the Debt and (iii) less than (x) thirty percent (30%), in the case of an Insured Casualty or (y) fifteen percent (15%), in the case of a Condemnation, of the rentable area of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Insured Casualty or Condemnation; (iv) the Leases remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration (hereinafter defined); and (v) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, then the Proceeds or the Award, as the case
53 |
may be (subject to the terms of the Leases, and after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender), shall be applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property (the “Restoration”), in the manner set forth herein. Borrower shall commence and diligently prosecute such Restoration. Except as may be provided in the Leases, Lender shall not be obligated to apply the Proceeds or Award to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration unless, in addition to satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, both (x) Borrower shall pay (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit with Lender in advance) all costs of such Restoration in excess of the net amount of the Proceeds or the Award made available pursuant to the terms hereof; and (y) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that during the period of the Restoration, the Rents will be at least equal to the sum of the operating expenses and Debt Service and other reserve payments required hereunder, as reasonably determined by Lender.
7.4.2 Application to Debt. Subject to the terms of the Leases, and except as provided in Section 7.4.1, any Proceeds and/or Award may, at the option of Lender in its discretion, be applied to the payment of (i) accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, (ii) the unpaid Principal and (iii) other charges due under the Note and/or any of the other Loan Documents or any Swap Agreement, or applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of any Restoration, in the manner set forth in Section 7.4.3.
7.4.3 Procedure for Application to Restoration. If Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of the Proceeds or an Award held by Lender, such Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed from time to time from the Casualty/Condemnation Account upon Lender being furnished with (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration, (ii) a fixed price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contract for Restoration satisfactory to Lender, (iii) prior to the commencement of Restoration, all immediately available funds in addition to the Proceeds or Award that in Lender’s judgment are required to complete the proposed Restoration, (iv) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey, permits, approvals, licenses and such other documents and items as Lender may reasonably require and approve in Lender’s discretion, and (iv) all plans and specifications for such Restoration, such plans and specifications to be approved by Lender prior to commencement of any work. Lender may, at Borrower’s expense, retain a consultant to review and approve all requests for disbursements, which approval shall also be a condition precedent to any disbursement. No payment made prior to the final completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than the Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Proceeds or Award; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such Proceeds or Award remaining in the hands of Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear of all Liens or claims
54 |
for Lien. Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, any surplus that remains out of the Proceeds held by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall be paid to Borrower. Any surplus that remains out of the Award received by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall, in the discretion of Lender, be retained by Lender and applied to payment of the Debt or returned to Borrower.

(k) a default occurs under any term, covenant or provision set forth herein or in any other Loan Document which specifically contains a notice requirement or grace period and such notice has been given and such grace period has expired;

8.2 Remedies.
8.2.1 Acceleration. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1) and at any time and from time to time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property; including declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, and any other amounts owing by Borrower), without notice or demand; and upon any Event of Default described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1, the Debt (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, and any other amounts owing by Borrower) shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
56 |
8.2.2 Remedies Cumulative. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared, or be automatically, due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender 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 Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property, the Mortgage has been foreclosed, the Property has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. To the extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the entire Property or any part thereof, in its discretion.
8.2.3 Severance. Provided that the weighted average interest of the Loan does not increase (subject to any fluctuations in LIBOR), Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents in such denominations and priorities of payment and liens as Lender shall determine in its discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
8.2.4 Delay. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender shall impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Mortgage to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of the Property, the Rents, the Cash Management Accounts or any other collateral.
57 |
8.2.5 Lender’s Right to Perform. If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of five Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgage and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

10. | MISCELLANEOUS |
10.1 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest and rights under the Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender shall not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with any Loan Document. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any Loan Document; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (vi) constitute a prohibition against Lender to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or to exercise its remedies against the Property; or (vii) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following (all such liability and obligation of Borrower for any or all of the following being referred to herein as “Borrower’s Recourse Liabilities”):
(a) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or Guarantor in connection with obtaining the Loan;
(b) physical waste of the Property or any portion thereof, or after an Event of Default the removal or disposal of any portion of the Property (except to the extent permitted under the Leases);
(c) any Proceeds paid by reason of any Insured Casualty or any Award received in connection with a Condemnation or other sums or payments attributable to the Property not applied in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents (except to the extent that Borrower did not have the legal right, because of the terms of the Leases, a bankruptcy, receivership or similar judicial proceeding, to direct disbursement of such sums or payments);
59 |
(d) all Rents of the Property received or collected by or on behalf of the Borrower after an Event of Default and not applied to payment of Principal and interest due under the Note, and to the payment of actual and reasonable operating expenses of the Property, as they become due or payable (except to the extent that such application of such funds is prevented by bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial proceeding in which Borrower is legally prevented from directing the disbursement of such sums);
(e) misappropriation (including failure to turn over to Lender on demand following an Event of Default) of tenant security deposits and rents collected in advance, or of funds held by Borrower for the benefit of another party;
(f) the failure to pay Taxes before they become delinquent, limited to the extent cash flow is available from the operation of the Property to pay such Taxes;
(g) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification in any Loan Document concerning Environmental Laws or Hazardous Substances, including Sections 4.21 and 5.8, and clauses (viii) through (xi) of Section 5.29; or
(h) failure to pay (or cause to be paid) charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create Liens on any portion of the Property (limited to the extent cash flow is available from the operation of the Property), unless such charges are the subject of a bona fide dispute in which Borrower is contesting the amount or validity thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) Lender’s agreement not to pursue personal liability of Borrower as set forth above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect, and the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event that one or more of the following occurs (each, a “Springing Recourse Event”): (i) an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(d) shall have occurred or (ii) a breach of the covenants set forth in Section 5.13, or (iii) the occurrence of any condition or event described in either Section 8.1(f)(i) or Section 8.1(g) and, with respect to such condition or event described in Section 8.1(g), either Borrower, Guarantor or any Person owning an interest (directly or indirectly) in Borrower or Guarantor consents to, aids, solicits, supports, or otherwise cooperates or colludes to cause such condition or event or fails to contest such condition or event, or (iv) Borrower creates, incurs, assumes, permits or suffers to exist any Lien on all or any portion of the Property or any direct or indirect legal or beneficial ownership interest in Borrower, excepting only the Permitted Encumbrances, or incurs any indebtedness other than the Permitted Indebtedness or (v) an act or omission of any of Borrower or Guarantor or Affiliate of any thereof which hinders, delays or interferes with Lender’s enforcement of its rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or the realization of the collateral, including the assertion by any of Borrower or Guarantor of defenses or counterclaims unless Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, is the prevailing party in the action in which such defense or counterclaim is asserted.
60 |
10.2 Brokers and Financial Advisors. (a) Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the Loan. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, whether incurred in connection with enforcing this indemnity or defending claims of third parties) of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.2 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.2(a) above to the contrary, Borrower hereby acknowledges that (i) at Lender’s sole discretion, Broker may receive further consideration from Lender relating to the Loan or any other matter for which Lender may elect to compensate Broker pursuant to a separate agreement between Lender and Broker and (ii) Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to Borrower the existence of any such agreement or the amount of any such additional consideration paid or to be paid to Broker whether in connection with the Loan or otherwise.
10.3 Survival. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any of the Debt is unpaid or such longer period if expressly set forth in this Agreement. All Borrower’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the respective legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.
10.4 Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or consent or withhold consent, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender or is to be in Lender’s discretion, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove, to consent or withhold consent, or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, or acceptable or unacceptable or in Lender’s discretion shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION GOVERNS THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTE, AND THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA.
(b) ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST LENDER OR BORROWER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INSTITUTED IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN ORLEANS PARISH, LOUISIANA, AND BORROWER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. BORROWER DOES HEREBY DESIGNATE AND APPOINT XXXX XXXXXX AT XXXX XXXXXX, AS ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT TO ACCEPT AND ACKNOWLEDGE ON ITS BEHALF SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS WHICH MAY BE SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN LOUISIANA, AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON SAID AGENT AT SAID ADDRESS AND WRITTEN NOTICE OF SAID SERVICE OF BORROWER MAILED OR DELIVERED TO BORROWER IN THE MANNER PROVIDED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED IN EVERY RESPECT EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON BORROWER (UNLESS LOCAL LAW REQUIRES ANOTHER METHOD OF SERVICE), IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN THE STATE OF LOUISIANA.

10.6 Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to or demand on Borrower shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under any other Loan Document, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under any Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, or to declare an Event of Default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

EITHER PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY THE OTHER.
10.8 Headings/Exhibits. The Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose. The Exhibits attached hereto, are hereby incorporated by reference as a part of the Agreement with the same force and effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
63 |
10.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
10.10 Preferences. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Debt. To the extent Borrower makes a payment to Lender, or Lender receives proceeds of any collateral, which is in whole or part subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Debt or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender. This provision shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.
10.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or any other Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which no Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
10.12 Remedies of Borrower. If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or any of its agents, including Servicer, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents, including Servicer, shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be to commence an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Borrower specifically waives any claim against Lender and its agents, including Servicer, with respect to actions taken by Lender or its agents on Borrower’s behalf.
10.13 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
64 |
10.14 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents, including Servicer, or otherwise offset any obligations to make payments required under the Loan Documents. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to interpose or assert any such offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
10.15 Intentionally Not Used.
10.16 No Usury. Borrower and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section 10.16 shall control every other agreement in the Loan Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited against the unpaid Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
10.17 Conflict; Construction of Documents. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that each is represented by separate counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted them.
65 |
10.18 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than the Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.
10.19 Intentionally Not Used.
10.20 Assignment. The Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be assigned by Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise. Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Loan Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender. Borrower may not assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Loan Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.
10.21 Set-Off. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Loan Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
10.22 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
