initial Loan closing or if no such Agreement was executed in connection with the initial Loan Closing, then in form and substance acceptable to Lender; upon satisfaction of these terms and conditions, the New Manager shall be considered to be “Manager” and all references in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to “Manager” shall be deemed to refer to said New Manager, the term “Management Agreement” shall be deemed to refer to the management agreement pursuant to which such New Manager manages the Premises and the term “Subordination of Management Fees Agreement” shall be deemed to refer to the agreement executed and delivered by the New Manager to Lender.
4.2.2 Zoning/Use. Borrower shall not cause or consent to any change in the general use of the Premises without Lender’s prior written consent. Borrower shall not (i) initiate or consent to any zoning reclassification of any portion of the Premises, (ii) seek any variance under any existing zoning ordinance or use, or (iii) permit the use of any portion of the Premises in any manner that would reasonably be expected to result in the current use thereof becoming a non conforming use under any applicable zoning ordinance or any other applicable land use law, rule or regulation, without the prior consent of Lender; provided, however, the prior consent of Lender shall not be unreasonably withheld in connection with any application of Borrower seeking any zoning reclassification, any variance under any existing zoning ordinance or any special use or permit with regard to any portion of the Premises which would otherwise qualify as a Release Parcel. Borrower shall not make or permit any use of the Premises that could be reasonably expected, with the passage of time, result in the creation of any right of use, or any claim of adverse possession or easement on, to or against any part of the Premises in favor of any person or entity or the public.
4.2.3 Transfers of Premises.
(a) Except for the Permitted Transfer(s) described in this Section 4.2.3 or except to the extent permitted elsewhere in the Loan Documents (including (i) Leases permitted by the terms of this Agreement, (ii) transfers of Release Parcels if permitted by the terms of this Agreement and (iii) Easements permitted by the terms of Section 4.1.6), Borrower or any Person or Entity owning an interest in Borrower shall not, and shall not permit, acquiesce to or allow any of the following to occur: (i) a sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer, encumbrance (other than the lien hereof, the Lease(s), the Permitted Encumbrances and those liens which Borrower is contesting in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), alienation, pledge or other disposition (whether directly or indirectly, voluntary or involuntary, or by operation of law) of all or any portion of the Premises or an interest in the Premises or direct or indirect ownership interests in the Borrower; (ii) the reconstitution or conversion of Borrower and/or any Person or Entity owning an interest in Borrower from one entity to another type of entity; (iii) the issuance or other creation of ownership interests in the Borrower and/or any Person or Entity owning an interest in Borrower; (iv) a merger, consolidation, reorganization or any other business combination with respect to Borrower and/or any Person or Entity owning an interest in Borrower; (v) a conversion to or operation of all or any portion of the Premises as a
-25-
cooperative or condominium form of ownership; or (vi) if the Borrower is a trust, or if a trust owns a direct ownership interest in Borrower, the addition, deletion or substitution of a trustee of such trust. For the purposes of this provision, any of the events described above shall be defined as a “Transfer”. If any such Transfer occurs without the prior written consent of Lender (other than Transfers where Lender’s consent is not required as set forth below or as otherwise provided elsewhere in this Agreement), it shall be null and void and shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Loan Documents, subject to and in accordance with Section 7.1(v) of this Agreement. Lender may in its commercially reasonable discretion consent to a Transfer (not otherwise expressly permitted by the terms hereof) and any such consent shall not constitute a consent as to any other Transfer.
(b) The following Transfers shall be considered “Permitted Transfer(s)”:
(i) Premises Transfer: So long as no Event of Default exists under the Loan Documents, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a Transfer of the Premises provided Lender receives 60 days advance written request from Borrower and provided the following conditions are complied with in each instance:
(1) Prior review and approval of the proposed purchaser or other transferee (“Transferee”) and the subject transaction by Lender, in Lender’s commercially reasonable discretion. Review of the Transferee and the subject transaction shall encompass various factors, including, but not limited to, the proposed Transferee’s creditworthiness, financial strength, and real estate management and leasing expertise, Lender’s lending exposure to the proposed Transferee (or any Person or Entity owning an interest in said Transferee) as well as the proposed transaction’s effect on the Premises, the Borrower, and other security for the Loan;
(2) Payment to Lender of an assumption fee equal to the greater of: (a) one percent (1%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan; or (b) $15,000.00; provided, however, that Lender will require $15,000.00 of such fee to be paid at the beginning of Lender’s review process, and such sum shall be nonrefundable and earned upon receipt by Lender whether or not the transaction is ultimately completed or Lender ultimately approves the proposed Transfer;
(3) Receipt, at Borrower’s expense, of an acceptable endorsement updating the Title Insurance Policy (or if an acceptable endorsement is not available, an acceptable new ALTA standard loan policy);
-26-
(4) Receipt by Lender of copies of all relevant information and documentation relating to or reasonably required by Lender in connection with the proposed Transfer including but not limited to (a) the organizational documents of the Transferee; (b) the deeds or other instruments of transfer for the Premises or interests in Borrower and documents relating to the assignment and assumption of Leases; (c) evidence of compliance with the insurance requirements contained in the Loan Documents; (d) compliance with such other closing requirements as are customarily imposed by Lender in connection with such transactions; and (e) compliance with the representations and warranties herein regarding the Transferee’s Required Entity Status;
(5) Execution, delivery, acknowledgment and recordation, as applicable, of new, revised and/or replacement assumption agreements, loan modification agreements, indemnification agreements, property reserve agreements/addendums, security instruments, financing statements, UCCs, new or revised letters of credit and/or guarantees in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender;
(6) Payment of Lender’s reasonable outside counsel fees and costs, if any, and any other fees and costs incurred by Borrower in connection with such Premises Transfer; and
(7) If applicable, receipt by Lender of a waiver from any tenant having a right or option to purchase the Premises or any portion thereof, waiving such right or option in form and substance acceptable to Lender.
Lender agrees to release any Guarantor(s) from any further obligations under the Guaranty and to release the Borrower from any further obligations under the Loan Documents (excluding Borrower’s and any Guarantor’s obligations in the event of fraud or misrepresentation and under the Environmental Indemnity except as provided herein) in connection with a Premises Transfer provided: (a) the Transferee executes an acceptable assumption agreement assuming all of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity; (b) any Guarantor(s)’s obligations are assumed by a Person(s) or Entity(ies) acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion; (c) Borrower and any Guarantor(s) shall be released from their obligations under the Environmental Indemnity only if said obligations are assumed in writing by a Person(s) or Entity(ies) acceptable to Lender which obligations shall specifically include all past Environmental Activity or Condition regardless of causation; and (d) all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents have been satisfied in full up to and including the date of the Premises Transfer.
-27-
(ii) Affiliate Transfer of the Premises: So long as no Event of Default under the Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall allow a transfer of the Premises to an Affiliate of Borrower that is owned and controlled in substantially the same manner as Borrower is owned and controlled on the Closing Date (the “Affiliate Transferee”) provided Borrower satisfies all of the Premises Transfer requirements in (b)(i) above (including the right of Lender to thoroughly review the organization documents of the Affiliate Transferee and its constituent members/partners), except that in lieu of the assumption fee in (b)(i)(2) above, Borrower shall pay Lender a reasonable processing fee.
(iii) Reconstitution of Borrower: So long as no Event of Default under the Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall allow the reconstitution or conversion of Borrower from one Entity type to another Entity type provided the following conditions are complied with in each instance: (1) the ownership of Borrower will be substantially the same after the reconstitution or conversion as reasonably determined by Lender; (2) Borrower satisfies conditions (3)-(7) of the Premises Transfer requirements above; and (3) Lender receives a reasonable fee for handling such Transfer not to exceed $7,500.00.
(iv) Interest in Borrower Transfer (Affiliated): So long as no Event of Default under the Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall allow the sale, transfer or conveyance of direct or indirect ownership interests in Borrower (a) among owners of those interests (“Borrower Interest Owners”); and (b) to immediate family members (i.e. children, grandchildren, parents, spouses and siblings) (“Immediate Family Members”) of Borrower Interest Owners or to trusts established for the benefit of Borrower Interest Owners and/or Immediate Family Members provided the following conditions are complied with in each instance: (1) Industrial Income Trust Inc. (“IIT”) and Industrial Income Operating Partnership LP (“IIOP”) (or an Affiliate thereof reasonably acceptable to Lender) (or another Person or Entity acceptable to Lender) retains at least 10% direct/indirect ownership interest in Borrower and retains management responsibility for and control of Borrower; (2) (a) for a Transfer of 20% or more direct/indirect interest in Borrower, Lender receives thirty (30) days prior written notice of such Transfer (except in the event of a Transfer due to the death of a Borrower Interest Owner or Immediate Family Member); and (b) for a Transfer of less than 20% direct/indirect interest in Borrower or a Transfer due to the death of a Borrower Interest Owner or Immediate Family Member, Lender receives notice of such Transfer within thirty (30) days of the consummation of such
-28-
Transfer; (3) Lender receives an organizational chart for Borrower which includes ownership breakdowns for all entity levels and is certified by Borrower as true and correct; (4) at Lender’s option, Lender receives an acceptable background and credit check, at Borrower’s cost, for the transferee if upon consummation of the Transfer said transferee’s direct/indirect interest in Borrower equals or exceeds 20% and Lender has not already received and approved a background and credit check for said transferee; (5) at Lender’s option, Lender receives an acceptable OFAC report at Borrower’s cost; and (6) Lender receives a reasonable fee for handling each such Transfer, not to exceed $1,000.00.
(v) Interest in Borrower Transfer (Unaffiliated): So long as no Event of Default under the Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall allow the sale, transfer or conveyance of direct/indirect ownership interests in Borrower that represent 90% or less, individually or in the aggregate, of all ownership interests in Borrower to a Person(s) or Entity(ies) other than Borrower Interest Owners or Immediate Family Members provided the following conditions are complied with in each instance: (1) IIT or IIOP (or an Affiliate thereof reasonably acceptable to Lender) (or another Person or Entity acceptable to Lender) retains at least 10% direct/indirect ownership interest in Borrower and retains management responsibility for and control of Borrower; (2) (a) for a Transfer of 20% or more direct/indirect interest in Borrower, Lender receives thirty (30) days prior written notice of such Transfer (except in the event of a Transfer due to the death of a Borrower Interest Owner or Immediate Family Member) and financial information for the transferee as Lender may reasonably require; and (b) for a Transfer of less than 20% direct/indirect interest in Borrower or a Transfer due to the death of a Borrower Interest Owner or Immediate Family Member, Lender receives notice of such Transfer within thirty (30) days of the consummation of such Transfer; (3) Lender receives an organizational chart for Borrower which includes ownership breakdowns for all entity levels and is certified by Borrower as true and correct; (4) at Lender’s option, Lender receives an acceptable background and credit check, at Borrower’s cost, for the transferee if upon consummation of the Transfer said transferee’s direct/indirect interest in Borrower equals or exceeds 20% and Lender has not already received and approved a background and credit check for said transferee; (5) at Lender’s option, Lender receives an acceptable OFAC report at Borrower’s cost; and (6) Lender receives payment of an assumption fee equal to $4,000.00.

Provided, however, that to the extent that any Transfer hereinabove, results in a change in control of IIT or IIOP, as applicable, then Borrower must satisfy each of the applicable conditions relating to an assumption of the Loan by a new transferee pursuant to the transfer provisions of the Loan Agreement.
(vii) any sale, issuance or transfer of shares or other securities of IIT, IIOP or any of its Affiliates which are listed on any national securities exchange.

(i) property insurance on a special form causes of loss basis covering the Improvements (specifically excluding any buildings pursuant to pad or ground leases which are owned and insured by the lessees thereof) and the Personal Property (as applicable), in each case (A) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation (excluding the land value) or such lesser amount specifically approved in writing by Lender (but in no event lesser than the Loan Amount); (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement or equivalent coverage with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property (as applicable); (C) with no exclusion for wind/hail coverage if the Premises is located in a “hurricane-prone” area as determined by Lender (except for customary deductibles in connection with same); (D) containing an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” endorsement (to include “Loss of Value”, “Demolition and Debris Removal” and “Increased Cost of Construction” endorsements) if any of the Improvements or the use of the Premises shall at any time constitute non-conforming structures or uses; and (E) including earthquake coverage in a commercially reasonable amount as typically required by Lender for properties similar to the Premises (it being agreed that Borrower’s current coverage limit of $5,000,000 has been accepted by Lender) (until such time as Lender receives a report at Borrower’s cost acceptable to Lender from Lender’s approved consultant that the PML for the 2500 and 0000 Xxxxx Xxxx buildings is less than 20%). In addition, if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area”, Borrower shall obtain flood hazard insurance in an amount reasonably determined by Lender;
(ii) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Premises with a combined single limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and in the aggregate, per location, plus additional liability insurance in a minimum amount of twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding Loan Amount (rounded to the nearest million);
-31-
(iii) rental value insurance for the perils specified herein for one hundred percent (100%) of the Rents (including operating expenses, real estate taxes, assessments and insurance costs which are lessee’s liability) for a period of twelve (12) months (specifically excluding Rents under Lease(s) where the lessee has no rental abatement or termination rights in connection with a Casualty during the term of the Loan);
(iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Premises coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form;
(v) boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above;
(vi) if any Policy described in clauses (i)-(v) above shall contain an exclusion from coverage under such Policy for loss or damage incurred as a result of an act of terrorism or similar acts of sabotage, Borrower shall maintain insurance against loss or damage incurred as a result of acts of terrorism or similar acts of sabotage provided such insurance (a) is commercially available and (b) can be obtained at a commercially reasonable cost as reasonably determined by Lender; and
(vii) upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other commercially reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Premises located in or around the region in which the Premises is located.
(b) (i) All insurance provided for in Section 5.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to form and content, including amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. In addition, the insurance company or companies must be rated A-, class size VIII or better in the most current issue of Best’s Insurance Reports and be licensed to do business in the state in which the Premises are located or a governmental agency or instrumentality approved by Lender.

All certificates of insurance (or policies if requested by Lender) shall be delivered to Lender with evidence of renewal coverage delivered to Lender on or before the expiration date of any policy. Borrower shall not carry or permit to be carried separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form and contributing in the event of loss, with any insurance required in the Loan Documents.
(iii) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, (provided that Borrower shall not have provided such evidence to Lender within five (5) business days of Borrower's receipt of written notice from Lender which may be in the form of email, facsimile or mail), upon reasonable prior notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender reasonably deems necessary to protect its interest in the Premises, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its reasonable discretion deems appropriate. All costs incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in full force and effect which are not promptly paid by Borrower shall be added to the Indebtedness and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of such advance until paid and shall be due and payable on demand.
Section 5.2 Casualty. If the Premises shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall, taking into account the time necessary to adjust the loss, obtain permits and enter into restoration contracts, promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the Premises as nearly as reasonably possible to the condition the Premises was in immediately prior to such Casualty with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 5.4. Subject to the Net Proceeds being made available by Lender, Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Borrower (or Lender, if an Event of Default then exists) shall settle and adjust any claim under the Policies required to be maintained by Borrower; provided, however, that any settlement or adjustment where the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds (including any deductible payable by Borrower) exceeds the Threshold Amount shall be subject to the written approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In all circumstances, the proceeds thereof shall be paid to Lender and Lender is authorized to collect and to give receipts therefor. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.
Section 5.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any
-33-
proceeding for the Condemnation of the Premises and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings to the extent that the Award therefrom is reasonably anticipated by Lender to exceed the Threshold Amount. Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Indebtedness at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Indebtedness shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Indebtedness. If a portion of the Premises is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Premises (to the extent that such Restoration is necessary) and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 5.4. If the Premises is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Indebtedness.
Section 5.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Premises:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be equal to or less than the Threshold Amount, and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be equal to or less than the Threshold Amount, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower for the Restoration (or in the case of a Condemnation where Restoration is not necessary, for Borrower’s general business purposes) upon receipt, provided that no Event of Default then exists.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are greater than the Threshold Amount or the costs of completing the Restoration are greater than the Threshold Amount, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 5.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to the Policies described in Section 5.1 as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
-34-
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met, in Lender’s discretion:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, the land constituting the Premises which is taken is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Premises, and no material portion of the Improvements is located on the condemned land or Lender has otherwise determined the taking is not material;
(C) Lease(s) in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation or Lease(s) obtained in substitution thereof (which otherwise satisfy the terms of this Agreement), whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be such that upon completion of the Restoration the DSC Ratio shall be at least equal to the lesser of: the DSC Ratio existing immediately prior to the Casualty or Condemnation or 1.0x.
(D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable, subject to delays for Force Majeure, but in no event later than the period of time required by any applicable Lease(s) or any applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation, and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;
(E) Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled Monthly Payments, which will be incurred with respect to the Premises as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) other funds of Borrower;
(F) Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any applicable Lease(s) or REA, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair and restore the Premises to substantially the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition
-35-
it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1(a)(iii) unless Borrower shall have provided to Lender acceptable additional security for rent loss interruption;
(G) the Premises and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance in all material respects with and permitted under all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, the Lease(s) and, if applicable, REA(s);
(H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in a reasonably expeditious and diligent fashion (subject to Force Majeure) and in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of (i) permanent access to the Premises or the related Improvements unless substitute access reasonably satisfactory to Lender is available to the Premises or (ii) parking on the Premises unless substitute parking reasonably satisfactory to Lender is available to the Premises or such loss of parking does not have a Material Adverse Effect; and
(J) such other conditions to such disbursements, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, as would be customarily required by a construction lender doing business in the area where the Premises is located.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Indebtedness and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed then to date (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) subject to the rights of contest set forth in this Agreement, there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Premises arising out of the Restoration unless the Contest Requirements have been satisfied. Lender shall credit Borrower with interest on the Net Proceeds (and the Net Proceeds Deficiency, if cash and if applicable) pursuant to the Escrow Interest Calculation.
-36-
(iii) Lender must approve the plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration before such Restoration is commenced if the estimated cost of Restoration exceeds 25% of the Indebtedness or involves any structural changes or modifications, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Borrower must pay to Lender a non-refundable processing fee equal to the greater of $5,000.00 or .25% of the amount of such Net Proceeds within sixty (60) days after Net Proceeds are received and before Lender disburses any Net Proceeds.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds (except as provided in Section 5.4(a) above) in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by Borrower, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) (or such other amount reasonably determined by Lender) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by Borrower. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until Borrower certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been substantially completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Premises have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities and copies thereof delivered to Lender, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender the availability of sufficient funds of Borrower to satisfy such deficiency or, at Lender’s election upon notice to Borrower, deposit the deficiency in the form of cash, letter of credit, or such other acceptable security (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. Any Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 5.4(b), the Net Proceeds Deficiency shall constitute additional security for the Indebtedness and other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents.
-37-
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender, after the Restoration has been substantially completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Indebtedness whether or not then due and payable, without Make Whole Premium or other prepayment penalty or premium so long as no Event of Default then exists or the Loan is in the Open Period, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper and in connection with such application, Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion may declare the entire Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, provided, however, that if no Event of Default then exists or the loan term is in the Open Period, no Make Whole Premium shall be due with respect to payment of the entire Indebtedness, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate, in its discretion. If Lender does not declare the entire Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, and elects to apply the Net Proceeds toward the payment of the Indebtedness, then the Monthly Payment Amount shall be adjusted accordingly.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage with respect to the Premises, or other transfer of title to the Premises in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Indebtedness, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Premises and all proceeds payable under any Policies covering the Premises shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
VI. RESERVE FUNDS
Section 6.1 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Following an Event of Default, Borrower shall deposit with Lender, on each Payment Date, sums calculated by Lender for payment of: (i) the estimated taxes and assessments assessed or levied against the Premises, and (ii) the estimated premiums for insurance required by the Loan Documents, excluding commercial general liability insurance (collectively, the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). At Lender’s discretion, Lender shall
-38-
either (i) use the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to pay the taxes, assessments and insurance premiums (if an Insurance Escrow is then being required) when the same become due; or (ii) upon Borrower’s prior written request reimburse Borrower in connection with Borrower’s payment of taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, as applicable, upon receipt of acceptable written evidence of payment of same. If the total payments made by Borrower under this Section exceed the amount of payments actually made by Lender for taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, such excess shall be credited by Lender on subsequent Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund deposits to be made by Borrower. If, however, the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is insufficient to pay the taxes, assessments and insurance premiums when the same shall be due and payable, Borrower will pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency, within three (3) business days after Lender has notified Borrower of such deficiency, but in all events prior to the date when payment of such taxes, assessments and insurance premiums shall be delinquent.
Section 6.2 Property Reserves Escrow Fund. Borrower shall deposit with Lender certain funds to be held by Lender as required by and in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1(b) hereof and Schedule III attached hereto.
Section 6.3 Miscellaneous.
(a) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Indebtedness. Until disbursed, expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Indebtedness.
(b) In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from a Reserve Fund if an Event of Default for which Lender has accelerated the Loan shall exist. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default for which Lender has accelerated the Loan, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Indebtedness in any order in its sole discretion, apply such funds for the purposes for which they were held or hold such funds in a non-interest bearing account as additional security for the Loan; provided, however, that if there is an Event of Default resulting in a public sale of the Premises, or if Lender otherwise acquires the Premises after an Event of Default, Borrower shall be entitled to a credit of the tax portion of the Tax and Insurance Escrow against any delinquent or accrued ad valorem taxes with respect to the Premises.
(c) The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Nothing contained herein shall cause Lender to be deemed a trustee of any Letter of Credit, any renewal thereof or any proceeds therefrom.
-39-
(d) The Reserve Funds shall be held without any allowance for interest unless otherwise specifically set forth in Schedule III attached hereto. If interest is allowed, all earnings of interest on a Reserve Fund shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund.
(e) Upon satisfaction of the Mortgage, any amounts remaining in the Reserve Funds shall be promptly returned to Borrower.
(f) Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds.
VII. DEFAULTS
Section 7.1 Events of Default.
(a) Each of the following events shall constitute an event of default hereunder (an “Event of Default”):
(i) failure to pay when due any principal, interest, Make Whole Premium or other Indebtedness, taxes or assessments or insurance premiums (except to the extent sums sufficient to pay such taxes or assessments or insurance premiums have been deposited with Lender in accordance with Section VI) required pursuant to the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity, and such failure shall have continued for 5 days after written Notice specifying such default is given by Lender to Borrower, provided, however, that in no event shall more than one such Notice be given in any calendar year and the second occurrence of such default in any calendar year shall constitute an Event of Default without Notice by Lender to Borrower; or
Notwithstanding the above, in the event that a failure to pay taxes or assessments or insurance premiums in excess of 5 days results in (i) a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) a failure to comply with Section 5.1(a), or (iii) the filing of a tax lien against the Premises, then an Event of Default shall occur without Notice by Lender to Borrower.
Further notwithstanding the above as it relates solely to taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, to the extent that a Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund has been established in accordance with Section VI of this Agreement and Borrower has fully complied with all terms and conditions of Section VI relating to same, then an Event of Default shall not occur for Lender’s failure to apply any of said Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund amounts.
-40-
(ii) Borrower, Interest Owner or any guarantor voluntarily brings or acquiesces to any of the following: (A) any action for dissolution, act of dissolution or dissolution or the like of Borrower, Interest Owner(s) or any guarantor under the Federal Bankruptcy Code as now or hereafter constituted; (B) the filing of a petition or answer proposing the adjudication of Borrower, Interest Owner(s) or any guarantor as a bankrupt or its reorganization or arrangement, or any composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief with respect to it pursuant to any present or future federal or state bankruptcy or similar law; or (C) the appointment by order of a court of competent jurisdiction of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of the Premises or any part thereof or of Borrower, Interest Owner(s) or any guarantor or of substantially all of the assets of Borrower, Interest Owner or any guarantor; or
(iii) one or more of the items set forth in the foregoing subsection (ii) above occur which were not either voluntarily brought or acquiesced in by Borrower, Interest Owner(s) or any guarantor, and which are not discharged or dismissed within 90 days after the action, filing or appointment, as the case may be; or
With respect to the matters in (ii) and (iii) above for an Interest Owner(s) only, no Event of Default shall occur until an interested party or Interest Owner(s) asserts a claim or right against Borrower or the Premises which delays or otherwise adversely affects Lender’s rights, remedies, or interests granted under the Loan Documents (whether or not such assertion is successful).
(iv) with respect to the matters not described in any other subparagraphs of this section, failure to duly observe or perform or the breach of any covenant, condition or agreement of the Borrower or any guarantor contained in the Loan Documents or in the Environmental Indemnity, and such failure shall have continued for 30 days after Notice specifying such failure is given by Lender to Borrower; or
If any failure to observe or perform under (iv) above shall be of such nature that it cannot be cured or remedied within 30 days, Borrower shall be entitled to a reasonable period of time to cure or remedy such failure (not to exceed 90 days following the giving of Notice), provided Borrower commences the cure or remedy thereof within the 30 day period following the giving of Notice and thereafter proceeds with diligence, as reasonably determined by Lender, to complete such cure or remedy.
(v) the failure of Borrower to duly observe or perform or the breach of any of the covenants, conditions and agreements of the Borrower
-41-
contained in Section 4.2.3 and to cure such failure within ten (10) days following Borrower’s receipt of Notice of such failure; provided, however, that Borrower shall only be granted said 10 day cure period if (1) the failure to observe or perform is a curable event, (2) the Transfer does not have a Material Adverse Effect, and (3) the granting of said cure period will not have a Material Adverse Effect as reasonably determined by Lender; or
(vi) any representation (other than fraud or willful misrepresentation) when made by or on behalf of Borrower, Interest Owner(s) or any guarantor regarding the Premises, the making or delivery of any of the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity or in any written information provided by or on behalf of Borrower, Interest Owner(s) or any guarantor in connection with the Loan shall prove to be untrue or inaccurate and in Lender’s reasonable determination, such untruth or inaccuracy has a Material Adverse Effect; or
(vii) fraud or willful misrepresentation by or on behalf of Borrower, Interest Owner(s) or any guarantor regarding the Premises, the making or delivery of any of the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity or in any written information provided by or on behalf of Borrower, Interest Owner(s) or any guarantor in connection with the Loan; or
(viii) subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the death of any guarantor (or any individual who is personally liable for any obligation under the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity) unless (a) the remaining guarantor or guarantors, if any, have a net worth or an aggregate net worth, as the case may be, equal to or greater than an amount equal to: the net worth of said remaining guarantor(s) as of the date hereof plus the net worth of the decedent as of the date hereof and affirm in writing the continued joint and several liability under the guaranty within 90 days of the death of such guarantor, or (b) a substitute guarantor or guarantors having a net worth or an aggregate net worth, as the case may be, equal to or greater than the net worth of the decedent as of the date hereof shall become liable by an acceptable assumption agreement within 90 days of the death of such guarantor, or (c) the remaining guarantor(s) and an acceptable substitute guarantor(s) collectively have a net worth or an aggregate net worth, as the case may be, equal to or greater than an amount equal to: the net worth of said remaining guarantor(s) as of the date hereof plus the net worth of the decedent as of the date hereof and affirm in writing the joint and several liability under the guaranty within 90 days of the death of such guarantor; or
(ix) the failure of Borrower to maintain the Required Entity Status and to cure such failure within ten (10) days following Borrower’s receipt of Notice of such failure; provided, however, that Borrower shall only be granted
-42-
said 10 day cure period if the failure to maintain the Required Entity Status is a curable event and the granting of said cure period will not have a Material Adverse Effect as reasonably determined by Lender;
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, in each and every such case, the whole of said principal sum hereby secured shall, at the option of the Lender and without further notice to Borrower, become immediately due and payable together with accrued interest thereon, a Make Whole Premium (unless the Loan is in the Open Period) and all other Indebtedness, and whether or not Lender has exercised said option, interest shall accrue on the entire principal balance and any interest or Make Whole Premium or other Indebtedness then due, at the Default Rate until fully paid or if Lender has not exercised said option, for the duration of any Event of Default. Borrower agrees that if Lender accelerates the whole or any part of the principal sum hereby secured after the occurrence of an Event of Default but prior to the Open Period, Borrower waives any right to prepay the principal sum hereby secured in whole or in part without premium and agrees to pay, as yield maintenance protection and not as a penalty, the Make Whole Premium.
Section 7.2 Remedies. To the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, Lender shall have the rights and remedies afforded hereunder, in the Mortgage, the Environmental Indemnity and the other Loan Documents.
Section 7.3 Payment of Costs; Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.
(a) Borrower agrees that all reasonable costs, charges and expenses, including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred or expended by Trustee or Lender arising out of or in connection with any action, proceeding or hearing, legal, equitable or quasi-legal, in any way affecting or pertaining to the Loan Documents, the Environmental Indemnity, or the Premises, shall be promptly paid by Borrower upon written notice from Lender. All such sums not promptly paid by Borrower shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of such advance until paid and shall be due and payable on demand, and except for sums relating to the Environmental Indemnity, shall be added to the Indebtedness secured hereby.
(b) Borrower hereby agrees that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the Indebtedness, to the full extent that such rights can be lawfully waived, Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to insist upon, plead, or in any manner take advantage of, any notice of acceleration, any stay, extension, exemption, homestead, marshaling or moratorium law or any law providing for the valuation or appraisement of all or any part of the Premises prior to any sale or sales thereof under any provision of the Mortgage or before or after any decree, judgment or order of any court or
-43-
confirmation thereof, or claim or exercise any right to redeem all or any part of the Premises so sold and hereby expressly waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law on behalf of itself and each and every Person or Entity acquiring any right, title or interest in or to all or any part of the Premises, all benefit and advantage of any such laws which would otherwise be available to Borrower or any such Person or Entity, and agrees that neither Borrower nor any such Person or Entity will invoke or utilize any such law to otherwise hinder, delay or impede the exercise of any remedy granted or delegated to Lender herein but will permit the exercise of such remedy as though any such laws had not been enacted. Borrower hereby further expressly waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law on behalf of itself and each and every Person or Entity acquiring any right, title or interest in or to all or any part of the Premises any and all rights of redemption from any sale or any order or decree of foreclosure obtained pursuant to provisions of the Mortgage.
(c) All rights and remedies granted to Trustee or Lender in the Loan Documents shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any rights and remedies to which it is entitled in equity, at law or by statute, and the invalidity of any right or remedy herein provided by reason of its conflict with applicable law or statute shall not affect any other valid right or remedy afforded to Trustee or Lender. No waiver of any default or Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents shall at any time thereafter be held to be a waiver of any rights of the Trustee or Lender hereunder, nor shall any waiver of a prior Event of Default or default operate to waive any subsequent Event of Default or default. All remedies provided for in the Loan Documents are cumulative and may, at the election of Lender, be exercised alternatively, successively or concurrently. No act of Trustee or Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision or to proceed against one portion of the Premises to the exclusion of any other portion.
VIII. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS
Section 8.1 License to Collect Rents.
(a) Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, Borrower has appointed Lender the true and lawful attorney of Borrower with full power of substitution and with power for it and in its name, place and stead, to demand, collect, give receipts and releases for any and all assigned Rents. Prior to an Event of Default, Lender hereby grants to Borrower the revocable license to enforce all provisions contained in the Leases and collect and use (subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents), all Rents, as the same become due and payable, but in any event for not more than one calendar month in advance, provided, however, Borrower’s use of such Rents may be subject to the Recourse Obligations. Such license shall not be applicable to any
-44-
Extraordinary Rental Payments, all of which shall be paid directly to Lender. Lender shall be entitled to hold Extraordinary Rental Payments it receives in an account as additional security for the Note and the funds shall be governed by the terms set forth below. Borrower shall render such accounts of collections as Lender may reasonably require. The license herein granted to Borrower shall terminate immediately and automatically, without further action or documentation, upon an Event of Default; and upon written notice of Borrower’s Event of Default at any time hereafter given by Lender to any lessee, all Rents thereafter payable and all agreements and covenants thereafter to be performed by any such lessee shall be paid and performed by such lessee directly to Lender in the same manner as if the above license had not been granted, without prosecution of any legal or equitable remedies under the Mortgage. Any lessee of the Premises or any part thereof is authorized and directed to pay to Borrower any Rent herein assigned currently for not more than one calendar month in advance, but shall make all Extraordinary Rental Payments to Lender and any payment so made, other than Extraordinary Rental Payments, prior to receipt by such lessee of the aforementioned notice shall constitute a full acquittance to lessee therefore. In the event Lender has terminated Borrower’s license to collect Rents upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, elects to waive said Event of Default, then provided no Event of Default subsequently occurs, any Rents (other than Extraordinary Rental Payments) collected by Lender which are in excess of those applied to pay in full any Monthly Payment(s) and any deposit(s) of Reserve Funds then due from Borrower under the terms of the Loan Documents and/or any requirements resulting as a condition to any waiver by Lender of the Event of Default shall be promptly paid to Borrower.
(b) If an Extraordinary Rental Payment exceeds the Threshold Amount, such Extraordinary Rental Payment shall be delivered to Lender. At Lender’s option, such Extraordinary Rental Payments shall be held by Lender without allowance for interest (hereinafter referred to as the “Extraordinary Rental Escrow”) and disbursed or applied as hereinafter provided. So long as no Event of Default then exists under the Loan Documents, Lender shall disburse funds from the Extraordinary Rental Escrow for costs and expenses incurred by Borrower for tenant improvements and leasing commissions for Lease(s) reasonably approved by Lender, at a combined rate per square foot of net rentable area leased as reasonably determined by Lender at the time such Extraordinary Rental Payments are received by Lender. Borrower shall be allowed disbursements from time to time for tenant improvements, capital improvements, and leasing commissions as reasonably determined by Lender. Such disbursements of funds from the Extraordinary Rental Escrow shall be conditioned upon Borrower furnishing to Lender a written request for each such disbursement together with those items as Lender deems reasonably necessary in its discretion. Funds in the Extraordinary Rental Escrow shall be subject to the applicable terms of Section 6.3.
Section 8.2 Enforcement; Lender Liability. Trustee and Lender shall be under no obligation to enforce any of the
-45-
rights or claims assigned to it under the Mortgage or to perform or carry out any of the obligations of the lessor under any of the Leases and does not assume any of the liabilities in connection with or arising out of the covenants and agreements of Borrower in the Leases; and Borrower covenants and agrees that it will faithfully perform all of the obligations imposed under any and all of the Lease(s). All Security Deposits collected by Borrower shall be maintained in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements and, if cash, shall be deposited by Borrower at a federally insured institution reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Except to the extent that the same is caused solely as a result of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, should Trustee or Lender incur any liability, loss or damage under the Lease(s) or under or by reason of the assignment of Lease(s), or in the defense of any claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Trustee or Lender by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Lease(s), the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, shall be added to the Indebtedness.
Section 8.3 Lease(s) Approval.
(a) Other than as provided in Section 8.3(b) below, Borrower covenants not to alter, modify, amend or change the terms of any of the Lease(s) or give any consent or permission or exercise any option required or permitted by the terms thereof or waive any obligation required to be performed by any lessee or cancel, renew or terminate any of the Lease(s) or accept a surrender thereof or enter into leases after the date hereof without the prior written consent of Lender, not to be arbitrarily or capriciously withheld, and Borrower will not make any further transfer or assignment thereof, or attempt to pledge, assign or encumber any of the Leases or Rents or other amounts payable thereunder. Borrower further covenants to deliver to Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof, copies of any and all demands, claims and notices of default received by Borrower from any lessee under any of the Lease(s) assigned herein or of any default beyond any applicable notice or cure period thereunder by lessee. Borrower shall keep and perform all terms, conditions and covenants required to be performed by lessor under the Leases. If reasonably requested by Lender, Borrower shall enforce the Lease(s) and all remedies available to Borrower against the lessees thereunder in case of default under the Lease(s) by lessees.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Lender’s lease approval rights outlined in Schedule III, if any, Borrower shall be permitted, in the ordinary course of business, to (a) enter into, extend, renew, amend or modify (but not terminate) any Lease which covers less than twenty percent (20%) of the net rentable area of space at the Premises; and (b) consent to assignment by lessee or other consents in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of any Lease which covers less than twenty percent (20%) of the net rentable area of space at the Premises; all without Lender’s prior written consent, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) No Event of Default then exists under the Loan Documents;
-46-
(ii) The Lease contains no purchase option or right of first refusal to purchase all or a portion of the Premises;
(iii) A new Lease must contain terms which are commercially reasonable as determined by Borrower or Manager in its prudent business judgment;
(iv) All lease extensions, renewals, amendments or modifications of Lease(s) (collectively “Lease Modification”) (A) are at a market rent; (B) are commercially reasonable as determined by Borrower or Manager in its prudent business judgment; and (C) do not involve the relocation of a tenant to space not located within the Premises;
(v) The new Lease or Lease Modification, does not or will not cause a default under any Lease(s), REA or any other document or instrument (recorded or otherwise) in any way burdening or affecting the Premises; and
(vi) The lessee’s business does not and will not involve the presence of Hazardous Material on the Premises, including but not limited to businesses engaged in the processing of dry cleaning on-site.
(c) Borrower shall furnish to Lender a true and complete copy of each Lease and Lease Modification, hereafter made by Borrower with respect to the Premises within thirty (30) days after delivery of each such Lease or Lease Modification by the parties thereto. The delivery by Borrower of each Lease and Lease Modification that does not require Lender’s consent under the terms of this Section 8.3 shall constitute a representation by Borrower that the conditions contained in this Section 8.3 have been complied with.
(d) With regard to those Lease(s) or Lease Modification(s) for which Lender’s consent is required, if: (a) Borrower provides Lender with a written request for consent to such Lease or Lease Modification and the request is accompanied by: (i) a copy of the Lease or Lease Modification; and (ii) copies of the most recently completed balance sheets and income statements for such lessee on any Lease(s) that covers 20% or more of the total net rentable area, to the extent reasonably available; (b) the request is delivered to Lender by overnight delivery and otherwise in accordance with the Notice provisions and states at the top of the first page in bold lettering “LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A LOAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND LENDER.” (Lender and Borrower hereby agree that such 15 business day period shall commence on the date of
-47-
Lender’s actual receipt of a written request for approval together with the proposed form of Lease (with any changes from the approved form of Lease redlined) and any financial and background information regarding the proposed tenant reasonably requested by Lender); then in the event Lender fails to either approve such request or disapprove such request (such disapproval stating the reasons for such disapproval) for more than fifteen (15) business days after receipt thereof, the action that was the subject of said request shall be deemed approved. Lender may condition its consent to any Lease or Lease Modification on Lender’s receipt of a fully executed Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender; and (B) if Borrower desires a release of escrowed funds for said Lease(s) or Lease Modification(s) in accordance with Schedule III hereof, if applicable, said release of escrowed funds request must accompany the request for Lender’s approval of the Lease(s) or Lease Modification(s).
(e) Notwithstanding the above, Borrower shall have the right to terminate Lease(s) of tenant(s) at the Premises without Lender’s prior written consent in the event that the lessee under the Lease is in material monetary default of its Lease beyond any applicable notice and/or cure periods provided Borrower sends Lender a copy of any default letter delivered to tenant and a copy of the notice to the tenant that Borrower is terminating it’s Lease.
(f) Borrower hereby acknowledges that in the course of obtaining subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements, non-disturbance agreements or documents of similar nature (hereinafter “Lessee Documents”) either prior to or following the Closing Date from lessees in connection with the Leases of the Premises, Lender may execute agreements which (i) may contain terms, conditions or restrictions on such lessees that are not consistent with the Loan Documents with regard to alterations, modifications, amendments or changes to such Leases, or (ii) which may contain other provisions different from and in some cases in conflict with the terms of the Loan Documents. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that Borrower’s performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents are a material inducement to Lender’s willingness to enter into such Lessee Documents and Borrower remains obligated to perform in accordance with all of the terms, conditions, restrictions and provisions of the Loan Documents notwithstanding the terms of any Lessee Documents.
Section 8.4 Rights of Lender. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, Lender may as attorney-in-fact or agent of Borrower or in its own name as Lender and under the powers granted herein extend, modify, or terminate (to the extent permitted by law or the terms of the specific Lease) any then existing Lease(s) or subleases and make new leases, which extensions, modifications or new leases may provide for terms to expire, or for options to lessees to extend or renew terms to expire, beyond the Maturity Date and the issuance of a deed or deeds to a purchaser or purchasers at a foreclosure sale, it being understood and agreed that any such leases, and the options or other
-48-
such provisions to be contained therein, shall be binding upon Borrower and all persons whose interests in the Premises are subject to the lien of the Mortgage and shall be binding also upon the purchaser or purchasers at any foreclosure sale, notwithstanding any redemption from sale, discharge of the Indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, satisfaction of any foreclosure decree, or issuance of any certificate of sale or deed to any purchaser.
IX. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 Fees and Taxes. If by the laws of the United States of America or of any state or governmental subdivision having jurisdiction over Borrower or of the Premises or of the Loan evidenced by the Loan Documents or any amendments or modifications thereof, any tax or fee is due or becomes due or is imposed upon Lender in respect of the issuance of the Note or the making, recording and registration of the Mortgage or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, the Environmental Indemnity or the Loan, except for Lender’s income or franchise tax, Borrower covenants and agrees to pay such tax or fee in the manner required by such law, and to hold harmless and indemnify Trustee, Lender, and their successors and assigns, against any liability incurred by reason of the imposition of any such tax or fee.
X. RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity and except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Article X, the liability of Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be limited to the interest of Borrower in the Premises and the Rents. In the event of foreclosure of the lien evidenced by the Loan Documents, no judgment for any deficiency upon the Indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents shall be sought or obtained by Lender against Borrower. Nothing herein shall in any manner limit or impair (i) the lien or enforcement of the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity pursuant to the terms thereof or (ii) the obligations of any indemnitor or Guarantor, if any, except as specifically provided in this Article X.

(b) the indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity;

(c) physical waste of the Premises, or any willful act or omission which materially damages or materially reduces the value of the Premises;

(e) any security deposits or other refundable deposits or prepaid Rents (together with any interest required by law) paid to or received by Borrower and not applied in accordance with the terms of the Leases or not turned over to Lender upon conveyance of the Premises to Lender pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale or by a deed acceptable to Lender;
(f) misapplication or misappropriation by Borrower, Guarantor and their Affiliates of tax reserve accounts, tenant improvement reserve accounts or other similar sums paid to or received by Borrower, Guarantor and their Affiliates or any other entity or person (other than Lender) in connection with the operation of the Premises;
(g) any fraud or willful misrepresentation by or on behalf of Borrower, Interest Owner or Guarantor regarding the Premises, the making or delivery of any of the Loan Documents or in any materials or information provided by or on behalf of Borrower, Interest Owner or Guarantor, if any, in connection with the Loan;
(h) the loss of Lender’s perfection or priority of its security interest in Personal Property covered under any UCC financing statement due to Borrower’s failure to notify Lender in violation of this Agreement;

(k) Borrower’s failure to complete the Seismic Improvement work in the time frames pursuant to Section 9 of the Property Reserves Escrow Fund and pursuant to the
-50-
requirements of Section 6 of the Property Reserves Escrow Fund. At such time as Borrower has completed the Seismic Improvements in accordance with said Sections 6 and 9, or in the event it is determined the Seismic Work is not required pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 6 of the Property Reserves Escrow Fund, this Section (k) shall no longer be applicable.
Notwithstanding anything contained in the language above as it relates solely to taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, to the extent that a Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund has been established in accordance with Section VI of this Agreement and Borrower has fully complied with all terms and conditions of Section VI relating to impounding for the same, then Borrower shall not be personally liable for Lender’s failure to apply any of said Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund amounts.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, the limitation on liability contained in the first paragraph of this section SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect in the event:

proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Borrower irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such suit, action or proceeding by service of copies of such process to Borrower at its address provided in the Mortgage.

Section 11.11 Integration; Amendments; Consents. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity, constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the Loan, and supersedes any prior negotiations or agreements, and supersedes any loan application submitted by Borrower to Lender and any commitment letter for the Loan delivered by Lender to Borrower. No modification, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will be effective unless in writing, signed by the Person against whom enforcement is sought, and will be effective only in the specific instance for which it is given.
-53-
Section 11.12 Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 11.13 No Joint Venture or Partnership. Borrower and Lender intend that the relationship created under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant to Lender any interest in the Premises other than that of lender or secured party and borrower or debtor.
Section 11.14 Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the right to assert any counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against Borrower by Lender under any of the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity.

Section 11.16 No Liability of Lender. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender’s acceptance or approval of any action of Borrower or any other matter requiring Lender’s approval, satisfaction, acceptance or consent pursuant to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity, including any report certificate, financial statement, appraisal or insurance policy, will not be deemed a warranty or representation by Lender of the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or other import or effect of such matter.
Section 11.17 No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is between and for the sole benefit of Borrower and Lender, and Lender’s successors and assigns, and creates no rights whatsoever in favor of any other Person and no other Person will have any rights to rely hereon.
Section 11.18 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of each of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement. The waiver by Lender of any default or Event of Default under this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent default or Event of Default.
Section 11.19 Severability of Provisions. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity to be invalid or unenforceable as to any Person or circumstance in any state, such finding will not render that provision invalid or unenforceable as to any other Person or circumstance or in any other state. Where permitted by
-54-
Legal Requirements, any provision found invalid or unenforceable will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to be within the limits of enforceability or validity; however, if such provision cannot be deemed so modified, it will be deemed stricken and all other provisions of this Agreement in all other respects will remain valid and enforceable.
Section 11.20 Preferences. Lender will have no obligation to marshal any assets for the benefit of Borrower or any other Person or in satisfaction of any or all of the Indebtedness. Lender will have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Indebtedness. To the extent Borrower makes a payment to Lender or Lender receives any proceeds from the Collateral, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other law, or for equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds released by Lender, the Indebtedness will be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 11.21 Substitution of Collateral. At any time during the term of the Loan, Lender will, at Borrower’s request and subject to all of the terms and conditions herein contained, permit a substitution and release (a “Substitution”) of the either of the Richmond property (Exhibit A-1 of the Mortgage) or the Fremont property (Exhibit A-2 of the Mortgage), provided that, in connection with any such Substitution, Borrower shall satisfy each of the following requirements. In connection with the Substitution, Borrower shall be entitled to obtain a release of the lien of the Mortgage from the applicable Richmond or Fremont property (for the purposes of this Section, the “Existing Premises”) upon the Substitution of another property or properties (the “Substitute Premises”) satisfactory to Lender (in its reasonable discretion) upon satisfaction of each of the following terms and conditions:
(a) | At the time of Borrower’s request for a Substitution and at the time of the consummation of the proposed Substitution, there shall exist no Event of Default, and there shall exist no condition or state of facts, which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents; |
(b) | The proposed Substitute Premises shall constitute the fee simple estate to such property, and no joint venture (except as outlined in Section 4.2.3(b)(i) herein), tenant-in-common or partnership interests or interests in ground leases shall be permitted; |
(c) | The credit of the tenant(s) (or if a lease is guaranteed, the credit of the guarantor so long as such lease is guaranteed pursuant to a guaranty satisfactory to Lender) occupying the Substitute Premises and the lease rollover schedule for such tenant(s) shall be satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion; |
-55-
(d) | Lender shall have received the following reports of the Substitute Premises each conforming to Lender’s then current report guidelines, which any such report shall be satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion in all respects: (i) a physical condition report from an engineer or architect acceptable to Lender; (ii) a Phase I environmental report from an environmental consulting firm acceptable to Lender (Lender reserves the right to require a Phase II environmental report at Lender’s option in the event the Phase I discloses contamination or the need for further investigation, but only with Borrower’s prior written consent to such Phase II); (iii) a zoning report from a zoning company acceptable to Lender; (iv) a MAI appraisal from an appraiser acceptable to Lender; and (v) if applicable, seismic/soils/curtain wall report(s) from an engineer or architect acceptable to Lender.

(e) | The Substitute Premises (including, without limitation, property type, the location, the demographics of the market area, appearance, configuration, quality and age of the Substitute Premises) shall be satisfactory to Lender in Lender’s reasonable discretion. From a property type standpoint, Lender will only consider industrial, retail, office and multi-family; |
(f) | Lender’s then current closing and underwriting requirements, shall be satisfied regarding the Substitute Premises, including without limitation, that: (i) all amendments to the Loan Documents shall be satisfactory to Lender, (ii) Lender receives a satisfactory legal opinion from Borrower’s counsel regarding such amended Loan Documents, (iii) title to the Substitute Premises shall be satisfactory in all respects to Lender (including, without limitation, evidence that Lender shall have a first and exclusive mortgage lien on the fee simple interest in the Substitute Premises), (iv) Lender shall receive a satisfactory survey and title insurance policy, (v) Lender receives satisfactory evidence that the Substitute Premises complies with all applicable governmental requirements, and (vi) Borrower’s, and if applicable, tenant’s then current financial condition shall be satisfactory to Lender; |
(g) | At the same time Borrower delivers its written notice to Lender requesting a Substitution, Borrower shall pay to Lender a non-refundable administrative fee of $5,000 (the “Substitution Administrative Fee”), and the Substitution Administrative Fee shall be deemed earned by Lender upon Lender’s receipt of such fee. At the closing of the Substitution, Borrower shall pay to Lender a non-refundable fee equal to $30,000, but Lender shall credit against such fee the Substitution Administrative Fee Borrower previously paid to Lender. The Substitution Administrative Fee and the fee due upon the closing of the Substitution shall be applied to cover all of Lender’s expenses, including, without limitation, travel and in-house legal, except for third party costs and expenses outlined in (d) above and (h) below, which shall be paid by Borrower in addition to such fees; |
-56-
(h) | Whether or not the Substitution actually closes, Borrower shall pay all third party costs and expenses associated with the Substitution, including but not limited to, title insurance and survey fees and expenses, recording charges and taxes, documentary stamp taxes, intangible taxes, fees for Lender’s outside counsel (if any), and fees for the reports described in (d) above; |

Lender shall use reasonable efforts to process a request from Borrower to effect a Substitution within sixty (60) days from the request therefore, provided Lender has received: (1) all materials and information necessary to evaluate such request; and (2) the Substitution Administrative Fee.
This Section 11.21 shall be personal to the original Borrower under the Loan (other than as outlined in (l) above, and no Transferee shall have any rights under this Section to substitute the Premises.
Section 11.22 Substitution of Trustee/Trustee’s Rights.
(a) Lender, from time to time, may substitute another Trustee in place of the Trustee named herein, to execute the trusts created by the Mortgage; and upon such appointment, and without conveyance to the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall be vested with all the title, interest, powers, duties and trusts in the Premises vested in or conferred upon Trustee herein named by the Mortgage. Each such appointment and substitution shall be made by written
-57-
instrument executed by the Lender containing reference to the Mortgage sufficient to identify it, which instrument, when recorded in the office of the county recorder of the county or counties in which the Premises is situated, shall be conclusive proof of proper appointment of the successor trustee. The recital or statement, in any instrument executed by Trustee in pursuance of any of said trusts, of the due authorization of any agent of the Trustee executing the same shall for all purposes be conclusive proof of such authorization.
(b) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Trustee at any time, at Trustee’s option, may commence and maintain suit in any court of competent jurisdiction and obtain the aid and direction of said court in the execution by it of the trusts or any of them, herein expressed or contained, and, in such suit, may obtain the orders or decrees, interlocutory or final of said court directing the execution of said trusts, and confirming and approving Trustee’s acts, or any of them, or any sales or conveyances made by Trustee, and adjudging the validity thereof, and directing that the purchasers of the property sold and conveyed be let into immediate possession thereof, and providing for orders of court or other process requiring the Sheriff of the county in which said property is situated to place and maintain said purchasers in quiet and peaceable possession of the property so purchased by them, and the whole thereof.
(c) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower, forthwith upon request, at the expense of Borrower, will cause to be made, executed, acknowledged and delivered to Trustee, any and every deed or assurance in law which Trustee or counsel of Trustee shall reasonably advise or require for the more sure, effectual and satisfactory granting and confirming of said Premises unto Trustee.
Section 11.23 Prepayment Waiver. Borrower, by adding its initials to the end of this Section, (a) expressly waives any rights it may have under California Civil Code Section 2954.10 to prepay the Indebtedness, in whole or in part, without penalty, upon acceleration of the Indebtedness and (b) acknowledges and agrees that Borrower has no right of prepayment of the Indebtedness except as provided above or otherwise permitted in the other Loan Documents and that, if the maturity of the Indebtedness is accelerated by Lender, Borrower specifically agrees to pay as a prepayment premium, the applicable sum specified herein as the Make Whole Premium, specifically including, but not limited to, the case where Lender has accelerated the maturity of the Note due to Borrower’s default of any provision contained in 4.2.3 of this Agreement. By initialing this provision, Borrower hereby declares that Lender’s agreement to make the Loan for the interest rate and for the term set forth in this Agreement constitutes adequate consideration, given individual weight by Borrower, for this waiver and agreement.
Initials:
Section 11.24 Waiver of Trial by Jury. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND
-58-
INTENTIONALLY WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTIONS BROUGHT BY BORROWER, TRUSTEE OR LENDER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE INDEBTEDNESS, OR ANY OTHER STATEMENT OR ACTIONS OF LENDER.
Section 11.25 Beneficiary Statement. Borrower shall pay Lender for every Lender statement furnished at Borrower’s request the maximum fee allowed by law pursuant to Section 2943 of the Civil Code of California and all amendments thereto, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

Section 11.26 Guaranty Waiver. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to apply any and all amounts received by Lender in repayment of amounts due under the Loan Documents first to amounts which are not guaranteed pursuant to the terms of any Guaranty and then to amounts that are guaranteed pursuant to the terms of any Guaranty. Borrower hereby waives any and all rights it has or may have under Section 2822 of the California Civil Code which provides that if a Guarantor is “liable upon only a portion of an obligation and the principal provides partial satisfaction of the obligation, the principal may designate the portion of the obligation that is to be satisfied.”
Section 11.27 Appointment of Receiver. If, as a result of a default by Borrower under the Loan Documents, Lender elects to enforce its rights under Section 2938(c) of the California Civil Code by any means other than the appointment of a receiver and Lender receives Rents from the Premises pursuant to such enforcement, and Borrower thereafter makes written demand upon Lender to pay the reasonable costs of protecting and preserving the Premises pursuant to the provisions of Section 2938(g) of the California Civil Code, then Borrower agrees that the obligation of Lender to pay the “reasonable costs of protecting and preserving the Premises” pursuant to Section 2938(g) shall be deemed fully satisfied upon payment by Lender from and to the extent of Rents actually received by Lender of the following costs: (i) delinquent real property taxes with respect to the Premises only to the extent that such amounts subject the Premises to an imminent tax sale which has been set for sale by the applicable taxing authority pursuant to applicable law; (ii) costs necessary to maintain the insurance coverage required under the Mortgage; provided, however, that Lender shall not be required to purchase any rental interruption insurance or earthquake insurance and Lender may satisfy all or any portion of such obligation by insuring the Premises through Lender’s blanket insurance policy; and (iii) the reasonable cost to correct any building or housing code violations only to the extent the applicable governmental building authority makes a written demand to Lender to comply therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, apply any or all Rents to the payment of costs which Lender believes, in its sole and absolute discretion, are necessary or desirable for the protection and preservation of the Premises (it being the intent of Borrower and Lender that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to impair, define or limit Lender’s rights or remedies
-59-
pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the right of Lender as beneficiary under the Mortgage and other Loan Documents to protect and preserve the security for such Mortgage in the Event of Default thereunder).
Section 11.28 Proceeds. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower (a) hereby specifically, unconditionally and irrevocably waives all rights it may have under any California case and/or statutory law heretofore or hereafter in effect that provides that a lender on a debt secured by improved real property must demonstrate that its security has been impaired as a result of any damage or destruction, in whole or in part, by fire or other Casualty before requiring that any or all insurance proceeds be used to reduce the debt and (b) hereby specifically, unconditionally and irrevocably waives all rights of a property owner granted under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.225(a), which provides for allocation of Condemnation proceeds between a property owner and a lienholder, and any other law, including case law, or successor statute of similar import.
Section 11.29 Component Notes. At any time, but without increasing the liabilities of Borrower under the Loan Documents, upon request of Lender, Borrower shall issue one or more separate (or component) notes (the “Component Notes”) with revised interest rates and/or amortization schedules (if applicable) to replace the Note, the aggregate weighted average coupon rate of which shall, as of the issuance of the Component Notes, equal the initial interest rate on the Loan (adjusted to account for amortization, if applicable). Each Component Note may have a different interest rate and/or different amortization, if applicable. Borrower shall also be obligated to enter into such amendments to other Loan Documents as are necessary to reference the Component Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall only be required to issue such Component Notes as long as:
(i) at and at all times after the issuance of such Component Notes, the aggregate weighted average coupon rate of the revised interest rates of the Component Notes equals the Regular Interest Rate as if the Note had never been replaced;
(ii) there shall be no negative economic effect upon Borrower’s monthly debt service payments; and
(iii) such replacement shall be at no cost and expense to Borrower (including that Lender shall reimburse Borrower for its reasonable attorneys’ fees in reviewing the Component Notes).

The funds as well as any Letter of Credit and any renewal or replacement thereof and any proceeds therefrom shall be held by Lender as additional security for the Loan and are hereafter referred to as the “Property Reserves”. The term “Escrow Release” as used herein shall refer to a disbursement of all funds from the Property Reserves.
a. In the event Lender has not received reasonably acceptable written evidence that Super Micro Computer, Inc. (“Super Micro”) has exercised its renewal option pursuant to the terms of that certain Industrial Lease dated February 25, 2008 between Pinole Point Properties, Inc., as landlord, and Super Micro Computer, Inc., as tenant (“Super Micro Lease”), or entered into a new lease for all of the Super Micro Computer, Inc. leased space, reasonably acceptable to Lender, on or prior to November 1, 2011, then commencing on November 1, 2011 and continuing through October 1, 2013 Borrower shall deposit with Lender a monthly amount of Thirty Thousand Eight Hundred Thirty-three Dollars and 33/100 ($30,833.33) to cover the cost of Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions for the Super Micro Computer, Inc. leased space (the “Super Micro Escrow”).
