SECTION 2
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE LOAN
2.1 Loan Disbursement and Note. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender shall lend the Loan to Borrower on the Closing Date. The proceeds of the Loan shall be used to (i) acquire Mortgaged Property; (ii) satisfy actual, documented closing costs related to the Loan and approved by Lender; and (iii) redevelop the Mortgaged Property for Borrower’s use in manufacturing biopharmaceutical products. The disbursement of the Loan in accordance with the foregoing shall be made on the Closing Date. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note. The Obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are secured by, among other things, the Mortgage and the Liens created or arising under the other Loan Documents. On the Closing Date, Lender shall (a) wire transfer the amount required by the settlement statement agreed to by Lender and Borrower applicable to the Closing (“Settlement Statement”) in accordance with Borrower’s instructions to acquire the Mortgaged Property, (b) permit Borrower to direct the payment of costs and expenses, if any, which Borrower requests to be paid at Closing directly by Lender with the proceeds of the Loan, only to the extent Lender approves, in its sole discretion, such costs and expenses and (c) deposit the balance of the Loan Proceeds into an escrow account (the “Development Fund”), with Bank in which escrow
-24-
account Lender shall have a first priority security interest and the right to approve all disbursements therefrom. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit into the Equity Account an amount equal to the amount set forth for Borrower’s Contribution on the Settlement Statement (“Borrower’s Initial Equity Contribution”), which monies shall be held and disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Money in each of the Development Fund and the Equity Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments, designated by and for the benefit of Borrower, and all earnings from such Permitted Investments shall be retained in the Development Fund or the Equity Account, as applicable. The Loan and the other funds contained in the Development Fund (including, without limitation, the Borrower’s Initial Equity when such amounts are transferred from the Equity Account into the Development Fund as set forth in Section 3.2(A) below) will be released from the Development Fund and advanced to pay for the costs attributed to the Initial Construction Work in accordance with each line item category in the Initial Construction Budget and as otherwise as provided in and subject to the other terms and conditions contained in Section 3.3 of this Agreement (such advances being referred to herein collectively, as the “Development Advances”).
2.2 Interest.
(A) Interest Rate. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(C) hereof, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate. However, (a) upon and during the continuance of any Event of Default by Borrower in the payment of any sum of principal, interest or other Indebtedness of Borrower owing Lender when due, (b) during the existence of any other Event of Default, or (c) after the Maturity Date or earlier upon acceleration of the Loan, the principal amount of the Loan shall bear interest (“Default Interest”) at the Default Rate. With respect to any scheduled payments of principal and interest (excluding the payment due on the Maturity Date), Borrower will be entitled to a grace period of five (5) days from such date before Default Interest is imposed by reason of such late payment; provided, however, such grace period will not be available more than once in any twelve (12) Loan Month period and if Borrower fails to make the required payment within said five (5) day period, Default Interest will be calculated from the original due date. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Default Interest shall commence, without notice, immediately upon and from the occurrence of (a), (b) or (c) above, as the case may be, and shall continue until Events of all Defaults are cured and all sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents are paid in full; provided that in the event of any monetary Event of Default, Default Interest shall be calculated from the date the applicable Events of Default actually occurred. Default Interest shall be payable upon demand, and, to the extent unpaid, shall be compounded monthly at the Default Rate.
(B) Computation and Payment of Interest. Interest on the Loan and all other Obligations owing to Lender shall be computed on the daily principal balance of the Note on the basis of actual days elapsed and a three hundred sixty (360)-day year. Interest on the Loan is payable in arrears. Payments of interest shall be paid to Lender as specified in Section 2.3. In addition, all accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to Lender on the earlier of the date of prepayment (to the extent prepayment is permitted under Section 2.4) and maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise. The Loan shall commence to bear interest on the date the proceeds of the Loan are to be disbursed to or for the order of Borrower, provided, however, if the proceeds are disbursed to an escrowee, the Loan shall commence to bear interest from and including the
-25-
date of disbursement to such escrowee regardless of the date such proceeds are disbursed from escrow.
(C) Interest Laws. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be required to pay, and Lender shall not be permitted to collect, any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by law (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (1) the provisions of this Section shall govern and control; (2) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that Lender may have received hereunder shall be, at Lender’s option, (a) applied as a credit against the outstanding principal balance of the Obligations due and owing to Lender (without any prepayment penalty or premium therefor) or for accrued and unpaid interest thereunder (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law), (b) refunded to the payor thereof, or (c) any combination of the foregoing; (4) the interest rate(s) provided for herein shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate allowed from time to time under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5) Borrower shall not have any action against Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any Obligation due and owing to Lender is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on such Obligations due and owing to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by law, remain at the Maximum Rate until Lender shall have received or accrued the amount of interest which Lender would have received or accrued during such period on Obligations due and owing to Lender had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.
(D) Late Charges. If any scheduled payment of principal and/or interest or other amount owing pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (excluding the payment due on the Maturity Date) is not paid when due, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to all sums otherwise due and payable, a late charge (“Late Charge”) in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the unpaid amount. With respect to regular monthly payments of principal and/or interest, Borrower will be entitled to a grace period of five (5) days from the date due before a late charge is imposed by reason of such late payment; provided, however, such grace period will not be available more than once in any consecutive twelve (12) month period. Any unpaid late charge shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid.
2.3 | Payments. |
Interest for the period commencing on the date of disbursement of the Loan and ending on August 9, 2006 shall be paid on the Closing Date. On each Payment Date thereafter commencing with the Payment Date occurring on September 10, 2006, Borrower shall pay to Lender interest on the outstanding principal of the Loan accrued from and including the immediately preceding Payment Date, to, but not including, the Payment Date on which such payment is to be made. Commencing on March 10, 2009, and on each Payment Date thereafter, principal of the Loan evidenced by the Note shall be paid to Lender in equal monthly
-26-
installments of principal in an amount equal to Two Hundred Eighty-Eight Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty-Eight and 89/100 Dollars ($288,888.89) per month, which amount shall be sufficient to amortize the full principal amount outstanding as of the date of disbursement of the Loan over a seven and one-half (7.5) year term (such amortization schedule also setting forth interest at the Base Rate (assuming all payments are timely made) is attached hereto as Schedule 23).
2.4 | Payments and Prepayments on the Loan. |
(A) Manner and Time of Payment. Borrower agrees to pay all of the Obligations relating to the Loan as such amounts become due or are declared due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. All payments shall be made without deduction, defense, setoff or counterclaim by the wire transfer of good immediately available wire transferred federal funds to Lender’s account at XX Xxxxxx Xxxxx Bank for the account of Lender, Reference: Alexion Pharmaceuticals Loan No.: M001313: l, or at such other place as Lender may direct from time to time by written notice to Borrower. Borrower shall receive credit for such funds on the date received if such funds are received by Lender by 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on such day. In the absence of timely receipt, such funds shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrower on the following Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made under the Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, or any time period relating to a payment to be made hereunder is stated to expire on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment may be made on the following Business Day and the period will not expire until the following Business Day.
(B) Maturity. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other sums owing to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall be due and payable on August 10, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”).
(C) Prepayments.
(i) No prepayment of the Loan shall be allowed in whole or in part, on or prior to the Lockout Expiration Date other than principal payments required pursuant to Section 2.3. Thereafter, the Loan may be prepaid, in whole, but not in part, upon not less than sixty (60) days’ irrevocable prior notice to Lender. Any prepayments on the principal balance of the Loan evidenced by the Note whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be accompanied by payment of interest accrued to the date of prepayment, together with the applicable Prepayment Premium. Any prepayments made pursuant to the foregoing shall be made on a Payment Date, provided, however, Borrower may elect to make any such prepayments on a Business Day which is not a Payment Date if, in addition to all interest which has accrued to and including the date of prepayment and the Prepayment Premium, Borrower also pays all interest which would accrue on the Loan to, but not including, the Payment Date following the date of prepayment. Amounts prepaid shall not be re-borrowed.
(ii) If, following an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Loan is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender or recovery shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against
-27-
prepayment set forth in Section 2.4(C)(i) and Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to the other Obligations, the Prepayment Premium. If the Maturity Date is accelerated, due to an Event of Default or otherwise, or if any prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan hereunder occurs, whether in connection with Lender’s acceleration of the Loan or otherwise, or if the Mortgage is satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of sale or judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means, then the Prepayment Premium shall become immediately due and owing and Borrower shall immediately pay the Prepayment Premium to Lender. Nothing contained in this Section 2.4(C)(iii) shall create any right of prepayment.
2.5 Lender’s Records; Mutilated, Destroyed or Lost Notes. The balance on Lender’s books and records shall be presumptive evidence (absent manifest error) of the amounts due and owing to Lender by Borrower; provided that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect Borrower’s obligation to pay the Obligations. In case any Note shall become mutilated or defaced, or be destroyed, lost or stolen, Borrower shall, upon request from Lender, execute and deliver a new Note of like principal amount in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the destroyed, lost or stolen Note. In the case of a mutilated or defaced Note, the mutilated or defaced Note shall be surrendered to Borrower upon delivery to Lender of the new Note. In the case of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note, Lender shall furnish to Borrower, upon delivery to Lender of the new Note (i) certification and affidavit of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by Borrower to hold Borrower harmless.
2.6 Taxes. Any and all payments or reimbursements made under the Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; excluding, however, the following: taxes imposed on the income of Lender by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof; taxes that are not directly attributable to the Loan; and any “doing business” taxes, however denominated, charged by any state or other jurisdiction (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding such taxes imposed on income, taxes not directly attributable to the Loan and any “doing business” taxes, herein “Tax Liabilities”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any such amounts from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, then the sum payable hereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions, Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing Date, (1) any changes in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, (2) any new law, regulation, treaty or directive enacted or any interpretation or application thereof, or (3) compliance by Lender with any new request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority, agency or instrumentality does or shall subject Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for income taxes, or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of income taxes, imposed generally by federal, state or local taxing authorities with respect to interest or commitment or other fees payable hereunder or changes in the rate of interest or tax on the overall income of Lender, taxes that are not directly attributable to the Loan and any
-28-
“doing business” taxes, however denominated, charged by any state or other jurisdiction) and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making or continuing its Loan hereunder, as the case may be, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, within thirty (30) days after its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender, on an after-tax basis, for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable, as determined by Lender with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.6, it shall promptly notify Borrower of the event by reason of which Lender has become so entitled.
2.7 Application of Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the last sentence of this Section 2.7, all payments made hereunder shall be applied first, to the payment of any Late Charges and other sums (other than principal and interest) due from Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents, second, to any interest then due at the Default Rate, third to interest then due at the Base Rate, and last to the principal amount. Following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all sums collected by Lender shall be applied in such order of priority to such items set forth below as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion: (i) to the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and costs of appeal, incurred in the collection of any or all of the Loan due or the realization of any collateral securing any or all of the Loan; and (ii) to any or all unpaid amounts owing pursuant to the Loan Documents in any order of application as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall determine.
2.8 Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay the Commitment Fee to Lender on the Closing Date.
2.9 Security Agreement. To secure the payment, performance and discharge of the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants, assigns, transfers, conveys and sets over unto Lender, and hereby grants to Lender a continuing first priority, perfected security interest in all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under any and all of the following, whether now and/or existing and/or now owned and/or hereafter acquired and/or arising:
(1) | the Accounts; |
(2) | the Contracts; |
(3) | the Reserve Accounts and other Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral; |
(4) | the Equipment, Fixtures and Personalty; |
(5) | the General Intangibles; |
(6) | the Leases; |
(7) | the Inventory; |
(8) | the Management Agreement(s); |
(9) | the Rents and other Gross Revenues; |
(10) | the Proceeds; and |
(11) | together with all accessions to, substitutions for, and replacements of, any of the foregoing and any and all products and cash and non-cash proceeds of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “UCC Collateral”). |
With respect to all UCC Collateral constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, the Accounts, this Agreement shall constitute a “security agreement” within
-29-
the meaning of, and shall create a security interest under, the UCC. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall be permitted to file one or more financing statements naming Borrower as debtor and Lender as secured party identifying “the Accounts, the Contracts, the Reserve Accounts and other Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral, the Equipment, Fixtures and Personalty, the General Intangibles, the Leases, the Inventory, the Management Agreements, the Rents and other Gross Revenues and the Proceeds” of Borrower in the collateral description thereon. As to the UCC Collateral, the grant, transfer, and assignment provisions of this Section 2.9 shall control over the grant provision of Section 2.1 of the Mortgage. Borrower represents and warrants that, except for any financing statement filed by Lender, no presently effective financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof has been filed with any filing officer, and no other security interest has attached to or has been perfected in the Collateral or any part thereof. Borrower shall from time to time within twenty (20) days after request by Lender, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or authorize the filing of any financing statement, renewal, affidavit, certificate, continuation statement or other document as Lender may reasonably request in order to evidence, perfect, preserve, continue, extend or maintain this security agreement and the security interest created hereby as a first priority Lien on the UCC Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances.
2.10 Certain Secured Party Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall have all the remedies of a secured party under the UCC and all other rights and remedies now or hereafter provided or permitted by law, including, without limitation, the right to take immediate and exclusive possession of the UCC Collateral, or any part thereof, and for that purpose Lender may, as far as Borrower can give authority therefor, with or without judicial process, enter (if this can be done without breach of the peace) upon any premises on which any of the Collateral or any part thereof may be situated. Without limitation of the foregoing, Lender shall be entitled to hold, maintain, preserve and prepare all of the Collateral for sale and to dispose of said Collateral, if Lender so chooses, from the Mortgaged Property provided that Lender may require Borrower to assemble such UCC Collateral and make it available to Lender for disposition at a place to be designated by Lender from which the UCC Collateral would be sold or disposed of, and provided further that, for a reasonable period of time prior to the disposition of such UCC Collateral, Lender shall have the right to use same in the operation of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower will execute and deliver to Lender any and all forms, documents, certificates and registrations as may be necessary or appropriate to enable Lender to sell and deliver good and clear title to the UCC Collateral to the buyer at the sale as herein provided. Unless the UCC Collateral is of the type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender will give Borrower at least ten (10) days’ written notice of the time and place of any public sale of such UCC Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given to Borrower in writing at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition. Lender may buy at any public sale and, if the UCC Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, it may buy at private sale. Unless Lender shall otherwise elect, any sale of the UCC Collateral shall be solely as a unit and not in separate lots or parcels, it being expressly agreed, however, that Lender shall have the absolute right to dispose of such UCC Collateral in separate lots or parcels. Lender shall further have the absolute right to elect to sell the UCC Collateral as a unit with, and not separately from, the Land and Improvements constituting a portion of the Mortgaged Property. The net proceeds realized upon any
-30-
disposition of the UCC Collateral, after deduction for the expenses of retaining, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like and the attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Lender shall be applied towards satisfaction of such of the Obligations secured hereby, and in such order of application, as Lender may elect. If all of the Obligations are satisfied, Lender will account to Borrower for any surplus realized on such disposition.
2.11 Potential Loan Increase. Provided no Event of Default then exists, if Borrower or Guarantor obtains Drug Approval on or before December 31, 2007, Borrower may provide Lender with Borrower’s written request to increase the amount of the Loan by $9,000,000 upon the terms and conditions contained in this Section 2.11. Within forty-five (45) days of Landlord’s receipt of such written request, Borrower and Lender shall cooperate with each other to enter into one or more documents as deemed necessary or desirable by Borrower and Lender to amend the existing Loan Documents to provide for the following:
(A) increase the Loan by adding a new tranch B, with the existing Loan becoming tranch A, which new tranch B would be in the amount of $9,000,000 (and is herein called the “Tranch B Loan”);
(B) the Tranch B Loan would have a separate base rate of interest (non-default) equal to the yield to maturity of 10-year U.S. Treasury securities plus a spread equal to 4.0%, calculated at the time of disbursement of the Tranch B Loan;
(C) the Tranch B Loan would be a part of the definition of “Loan” in the Loan Documents and secured by all collateral and security securing the Loan under the Loan Documents on the Closing; and
(D) Borrower providing updated or new opinions of counsel, officer’s certifications, title insurance policies and other closing deliveries as customary to obtain with an amendment increasing the amount of a first priority mortgage loan, all upon the closing of the Tranch B Loan; all of which shall be acceptable to Borrower and Lender.

(A) Advances. So long as no Event of Default or Default exists, Lender shall, on the terms and conditions set forth below, make disbursements from the Development Fund (as applicable) to pay a portion of Borrower’s Hard Costs and Soft Costs incurred in connection with the Completion of Initial Construction Work. The Development Advances shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article 3. From time to time, to the extent there are insufficient funds in the Development Fund to satisfy a Development Advance, Lender may transfer (without any direction or further authorization from Borrower) funds from the Equity Account into the Development Fund, which amounts shall then be disbursed in accordance with Section 3.3 of this Agreement.
(B) No Advances for Interest. Lender may, with or without Borrower’s having made a Request for Advance, approve Development Advances for purposes of paying Lender all sums including interest and principal which are then due and payable from Borrower to Lender under this Agreement and any other Loan Document.
(C) Development Budget. Borrower represents and warrants that the Development Budget is accurate and complete and includes all Hard Costs and Soft Costs of the Initial Construction Work, including all costs and expenses necessary to satisfy, fulfill, comply with and perform all terms, conditions, requirements and obligations under and pursuant to Legal Requirements, all Initial Construction Contracts, all Initial Architect’s Agreements and all Material Contracts, other than those, if any, which a Governmental Authority has agreed, in writing, to perform, together with a Hard Cost Contingency and Soft Cost Contingency as approved by Lender.
(D) Loan Balancing; Right to Require Deposits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Loan shall at all times be “in balance.” The Loan shall be deemed to be “in balance” only at such time and from time to time, as Lender may reasonably determine that either: (a) the amount left in the Development Fund (plus, giving effect to the amounts in the Equity Account, all escrow reserves, retainage and that portion of the Hard Cost Contingency and Soft Cost Contingency available for Borrower’s then current use as permitted by this Agreement) equals or exceeds the amount necessary to pay for (i) all Hard Costs for work done and not theretofore paid for or to be done in connection with the Completion of Initial Construction Work in accordance with the Project Plans and Specifications based on “Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs” (as defined below), and (ii) all Soft Costs and other costs payable by Borrowers under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Initial Construction Work and equipping of the Mortgaged Property until Completion of the Initial Construction Work also based on Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs, in each case based on the Development Budget (as modified to reflect cost savings and/or reallocations to the extent permitted hereunder), or (b) the amount left in the Development Fund (including, the
-35-
amounts in the Equity Account) does not equal or exceed the foregoing described respective amount or amounts, but Borrower has deposited into the Development Fund cash sufficient to bring the Loan “in balance”. In the event that the Loan is not “in balance” prior to the full disbursement of the funds held in the Development Fund, all additional funds deposited by Borrower into the Development will be disbursed by Lender for Hard Costs and Soft Costs in accordance with the Development Budget (as it may be modified by Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs) prior to any further Development Advance. Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the right to make from time to time in Lender’s discretion an estimate of all Hard Costs and Soft Costs which estimate is herein sometimes called “Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs.” In the first instance, Lender’s Estimate of Development Cost shall be made upon the basis of the Initial Construction Contracts, executed Subcontracts and purchase orders, or, in those instances where Subcontracts or purchase orders have not yet been let, upon the basis of either written bids with responsible contractors, tradesmen and material suppliers obtained by Borrower and approved by Lender, or Lender’s estimate of such costs where written bids have not been obtained, and shall take into account all Soft Costs and other costs and expenses to be paid by Borrower hereunder through the Completion of the Initial Construction Work, with such allowances for reserves and contingencies as Lender shall deem appropriate in its discretion. Thereafter, Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs will take into account, in addition to the Initial Construction Contract, Subcontracts and purchase orders, and other considerations which Lender, in its sole judgment, deems relevant or likely to have an impact upon all Hard Costs and Soft Costs. Borrower agrees that if for any reason the amount of funds in the Development Fund shall at any time be or become insufficient for the purposes described herein and subject to the provisions of Section 3.6, regardless of how such condition may have been brought about, upon ten (10) Business Days’ written notice to Borrower during which time Borrower shall have the right to bring the Loan into balance, and upon Borrower’s failure to bring the Loan into balance, it shall be an Event of Default hereunder and, in addition to any other rights or remedies of Lender hereunder or at law or in equity, Lender shall not be obligated to disburse the Loan during the period of such insufficiency. Borrower agrees that the determination of Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs and the determination of whether the Loan is “in balance” shall be done on a line item basis and not on a gross or aggregate funds available basis and be subject to the provisions of Section 3.6, it being understood that all limitations on reallocation of line items as set forth herein shall be observed and taken into account when making Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs and determining whether the Loan is “in balance.”
(E) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement which is or may appear to be to the contrary, to the extent Lender does not receive all deliveries and approvals it is entitled to receive (with and without request) for all of the Initial Construction Work and all Project Improvements contemplated by the Development Budget as a condition to Lender’s disbursement of funds from the Development Account pursuant to Sections 3.1(u), (w), (x), (y), (z), (AA) and (BB) above (collectively the “Initial Construction Conditions”) and Lender disburses funds from the Development Account, then Lender shall have no further obligation to make one or more subsequent disbursements of funds from the Development Account for any portion of the Initial Construction Work (or other development costs related thereto) for which such Initial Construction Conditions have not been satisfied. To the extent Lender has received and approved the Initial Construction Conditions applicable to a portion of the Initial Construction Work (or other development costs related thereto) and all other conditions and
-36-
requirements applicable thereto are satisfied, Lender shall make disbursements of funds from the Development Account for such purposes.
3.3 Advances from Development Fund. Lender shall, if no Event of Default exists, make each Development Advance within ten (10) Business Days following the satisfaction, in the sole discretion of Lender, of each of the following conditions:
(A) Lender shall have no obligation to make any Development Advance for Hard Costs after the Required Completion Date.
(B) No Development Advance except the final Development Advance shall be made in an amount of less than $100,000.
(C) At all times prior to and including the date all Advances made for Completion of Construction have been fully funded, Borrower shall submit a Request for Advance no more frequently than once per month with no more than 45 days between each request. Lender shall make no more than one Development Advance per month.
(D) Borrower shall have submitted to Lender an executed completed Request for Advance.
(E) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender all Required Lien Waivers deemed necessary by Lender and the Title Company for services and materials provided in connection with the Initial Construction Work through the date of the applicable Development Advance; provided, however, that for all non-final payments Lender shall only require then current Required Lien Waivers from all parties Borrower or Guarantor have directly contracted with (“Direct Contractors”) and only require those Required Lien Waivers from any Person who is a sub-consultant, sub-contractor, or otherwise directly or indirectly contracting with a Direct Contractor applicable to the immediately prior Request for Advance.
(F) With respect to the Development Advances, the Initial Borrower’s Architect involved with such advance shall have certified to Lender in form satisfactory to Lender that the requested Development Advance is for the payment of construction costs incurred in connection with Initial Construction Work which has been completed in accordance with the Project Plans and Specifications as set forth in the Request for Advance.
(G) Borrower shall provide Lender with true and correct copies of all invoices and bills for Hard Costs and Soft Costs incurred in connection with the then completed Initial Construction Work, and there shall be no material deviation from the Initial Construction Budget (except with Lender’s prior written approval) in connection with the Initial Construction Work which has been completed to date. Specifically, no advance (or advances, as appropriate) for a specific line item in the Initial Construction Budget, including any retainage for said line item, will exceed the amount of said line item in the Initial Construction Budget subject to changes based upon Permitted Change Orders. For purposes of this Section 3.3 and except as set forth in subsection 3.3(v) below for Stored Materials, costs shall be deemed to have been “incurred” by a Borrower at the following times: (i) Hard Costs - when the labor has been performed or the materials have been supplied and incorporated into the Property, payment therefore has been requested by the contractor or supplier thereof, and such contractor or supplier is entitled thereto;
-37-
and (ii) Soft Costs – when such costs are due and payable (or have been paid by Borrower) and the services relating thereto have been rendered or the value thereof has been received by Borrower.

Verification of the monthly progress of the Initial Construction Work, the Hard Costs and the Soft Costs which have been incurred by Borrower, and the estimated total Hard Costs and Soft Costs of Completion of Initial Construction Work may be made by Lender consistent with the Development Budget.
(I) The funds in the Development Fund (excluding the retainage provided for in the next paragraph) shall be sufficient, in Lender’s sole discretion, to pay all remaining Hard Costs and Soft Costs in connection with the Completion of Initial Construction Work, including the payment of all sums owed to Lender prior to the Completion of Initial Construction Work or Borrower shall have deposited with Lender pursuant to Section 3.2(D) such additional funds as Lender deems necessary, together with said amounts then held in the Development Fund, to pay all remaining Hard Costs and Soft Costs in connection with the Completion of Initial Construction Work.
(J) Except as provided below, Borrower shall not request in a progress payment, but rather withhold payment from the Initial Contractors as evidenced in each progress payment, the amount of 10% of the ‘Contract Sum’ eligible for payment (the “Retainage”) to each Initial Contractor until such Contractor’s portion of the Initial Construction Work is Completed. To the extent permitted by an Initial Construction Contract, Borrower may request in writing that Lender approve and Lender agrees to approve (subject to the remaining requirements for such Advance) any of the following actions following completion of the applicable requirements set forth below.
(1) Upon or following the Initial Construction Work of any Subcontractor being fifty percent (50%) complete, no further Retainage being withheld on payments made to Initial Contractor for such Subcontractor’s work performed following such fifty percent (50%) (or greater as requested) completion of such Subcontractor’s work.
(2) Upon or following all Initial Construction Work being fifty percent (50%) complete, no further Retainage being withheld on payments made to Initial Contractor for Initial Contractor’s general conditions items and fee, as applicable, which apply to Initial Construction Work following such fifty percent (50%) (or greater, as requested) completion of all Initial Construction Work.
(3) Upon the final Completion of any Subcontractor’s portion of Initial Construction Work, the release of all or a portion of the Retainage owed to such Subcontractor; provided that if the request is for a release of all such Retainage owed to such Subcontractor, then such request must be accompanied by all lien waivers and other deliveries required for final payment under both the applicable Subcontract and Section 3.5 below.
-38-

(L) Borrower shall be deemed to have remade, as of the date of each advance, each and every representation and warranty made by Borrower in this Agreement and in every other Loan Document, and every such representation and warranty shall be true and correct at the time of each Development Advance.
(M) So long as any portion of the Loan proceeds are being disbursed from the Development Fund, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender an endorsement to the Title Policy, which endorsement: (i) insures Lender against filed and unfilled mechanics’ liens; and (ii) insures that, since the date of the policy or the most recent endorsement to the policy, there has been no change in the status of title to the Premises (except for the lien of unpaid taxes, not yet due and payable) and thereafter, so long as and to the extent funds are disbursed from the Development Fund which are not Loan proceeds, evidence satisfactory to Lender that no liens have been filed or are pending against the Mortgaged Property.

Each such update shall be accompanied by a written narrative explanation setting forth, in reasonable detail, the deviations, if any, set forth in such update to the such Initial Construction Draw Schedule, as previously updated, and the reason(s) for such deviations. Each such update shall be accompanied by a certificate from the Borrower to the effect that all deviations as reflected in such updated Initial Construction Draw Schedule are permitted under this Agreement or have been expressly consented to by Lender.
3.6 Contingency; Cost Reallocation.
(A) The Development Budget shall include a “contingency” amount of not less than $1,302,615.00 for Hard Costs (including contingency for the Initial Construction Contract) (“Hard Cost Contingency”), and not less than $1,200,000.00 for Soft Costs (“Soft Cost Contingency”) at Closing. From time to time, upon the request of Borrower and subject to the approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, the Hard Cost Contingency and Soft Cost Contingency may each be used on a pro rata basis according to the percentage of total Hard Costs expended (excluding land costs) to pay for other Hard Costs or Soft Costs, as applicable; and, (b) the Soft Cost Contingency may be used on a pro rata basis according to the percentage of total Hard Costs expended (excluding hard costs) to be reallocated to the Hard Cost Contingency. Upon Completion of all Initial Construction Work, any funds remaining in the Hard Cost Contingency line item which are attributable, in Lender’s sole discretion, to verified Hard Costs savings may be, at Borrower’s option, reallocated from the Hard Cost Contingency to the Soft Cost Contingency.
(B) Any savings in line item costs contained on the summary page of the Development Budget, as verified and determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, resulting from any change in the Project Plans and Specifications approved by Lender or realized upon completion of a Development Budget line item and thereby resulting in savings (“Completion Savings”) shall be reallocated to the Hard Cost Contingency or to other such line item to “balance” the line item (assuming such increase in the budgeted line item is not subject to a Change Order to be funded by the Hard Costs Contingency) with Lender approval, not to be unreasonably withheld.
(C) Any savings in any line item costs for Hard Costs contained on the summary page of the Development Budget and up to an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5.0% of said line item or (ii) $500,000, as verified and determined by Lender, resulting from any change in the Plans and Specifications or realized upon Completion of a single line item and thereby resulting in savings may be reallocated to another Hard Cost line item to “balance” the line item (assuming such increase in the budgeted line item is not subject to a Change Order to be funded by the Hard Cost Contingency). Additionally, any savings in line item costs for Soft Costs contained on the summary page of the Development Budget and up to an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5.0% of said line tem or (ii) $200,000, as verified and determined by Lender, resulting from any change in the Plans and Specifications or realized upon Completion of a single line item and thereby resulting in savings may be reallocated to another Soft Cost line item to “balance” the line item (assuming such increase in the budgeted line item is not subject to a Change Order to be funded by the Soft Costs contingency); provided, however, (i) there shall
-45-
be no reallocation of the line items for Loan interest or sales commissions and (ii) any reallocation of line items in excess of the greater of (i) 5.0% of said line item and (ii) $500,000 in the case of Hard Costs or $200,000 in the case of Soft Costs, shall require prior approval of Lender. Additional direct or indirect line item cost savings that have been allocated to their respective contingency line items may be available and reallocated by Borrower to another cost line item and such amounts will not be subject to the pro rata allocation set forth in the preceding sentence.
3.7 Other Remedies of Lender. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any other remedies available to Lender by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by law, Lender may at its sole discretion: (a) cause Completion of Initial Construction Work in accordance with the Project Plans and Specifications (with such changes as Lender shall deem appropriate), all at the risk, cost and expense of Borrower; (b) discontinue at any time the Construction Work; (c) engage builders, contractors, engineers, architects and others for the purpose of furnishing labor, material and equipment in connection with the Initial Construction Work, which personnel may, but need not, be the same as those engaged by Borrower; (d) pay, compromise or settle any and all bills or claims incurred in connection with the Initial Construction Work; (e) exercise any or any or all of its rights under the applicable Loan Documents; (f) take or refrain from taking such action with respect to the Initial Construction Work as Lender may from time to time determine; and (g) through an advance of Loan proceeds, make payments due for the cost of Initial Construction Work directly to any Initial Contractor, any Subcontractor, including any material supplier or any vendor of Fixtures and Personality, if any, owned by Borrower. All such action shall be at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, such sums being secured by the Mortgage.
3.8 Protection Against Liens. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably required to prevent the assertion of claims of lien against the Mortgaged Property. In the event that any claim of lien is asserted against the Mortgaged Property by any person furnishing labor or materials to the Initial Construction Work, Borrower shall immediately give notice of the same to Lender and shall, promptly and in any event within ten (10) days after Lender’s demand, (a) pay and discharge the same, (b) effect the release thereof by delivering to Lender a surety bond complying with the requirement of applicable Legal Requirements for such release, (c) with respect to mechanic’s liens, deliver to Lender an endorsement to the Title Policy insuring over such lien in form customarily used and approved by Lender, or (d) take such other action as Lender may approve in writing to release Lender from any obligation or liability with respect to such stop notice or claim.
3.9 Nonliability of Lender. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:
(A) The relationship between Borrower and Lender is and shall remain solely that of borrower and lender, and Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility to review, inspect, supervise, approve or inform Borrower of any matter in connection with any of the Initial Construction Work, including matters relating to: (i) the Project Plans and Specifications, (ii) architects, contractors, subcontractors and materialmen, or the workmanship of or materials used by any of them, or (iii) the progress of any of the Initial Construction Work and its conformity with the Project Plans and Specifications; and Borrower shall rely entirely on its own judgment with respect to such matters and acknowledges that any review, inspection,
-46-
supervision, approval or information supplied to Borrower by Lender in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of Lender and that neither Borrower nor any third party is entitled to rely on it;
(B) Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document: (i) Lender is not a partner, joint venturer, alter-ego, manager, controlling person or other business associate or participant of any kind of Borrower and Lender does not intend to ever assume any such status; and (ii) Lender shall not be deemed responsible for or a participant in any acts, omissions or decisions of Borrower;
(C) Lender shall not be directly or indirectly liable or responsible for any loss or injury of any kind to any person or property resulting from any construction on, or occupancy or use of, the Mortgaged Property (except to the extent proximately caused by Lender’s or Lender’s agent’s, servant’s, employee’s or contractor’s negligence or willful misconduct), whether arising from: (i) any defect in any building, grading, landscaping or other onsite or offsite improvement; (ii) any act or omission of Borrower or any of Borrower’s agents, employees, independent contractors, licensees or invitees; or (iii) any accident on the Property or any fire or other casualty or hazard thereon; and
By accepting or approving anything required to be performed or given to Lender under the Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency or legal effect of the same, and no such acceptance or approval shall constitute a warranty or representation by Lender to anyone.

4.3 Financial Statements. All financial statements concerning Borrower and Guarantor which have been or will hereafter be furnished by Borrower and Guarantor to Lender pursuant to this Agreement have been or will be prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied (except as disclosed therein, to the extent Lender approves such disclosure) and do or will, in all material respects, present fairly the financial condition of the Persons covered thereby as at the dates thereof and the results of their operations for the periods then ended.
4.4 Indebtedness. As of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, Borrower does not have any Indebtedness except for Permitted Indebtedness. All Expenses owing or accrued as of the Closing Date, have been paid in full or have been reserved for by deposit into the Reserves. No claim of any creditor of Borrower exists which would have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.5 No Material Adverse Change. Since March 31, 2006, no event or change has occurred that has caused or evidences, either individually or together with such other events or changes, a Material Adverse Effect.
4.6 Title to Property; Liens; Zoning; Contracts; Condition of the Mortgaged Property.
(A) Borrower has good and marketable fee simple title to the Land, the Improvements and the other components of the Mortgaged Property, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower owns all real and personal property necessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. Except for the Permitted Encumbrances, the Mortgaged Property is free and clear of Liens and other encumbrances. Except as otherwise identified on Schedule 4.6(A), there are no outstanding Claims and all work, services or materials the provision of which might ripen into a Claim have been fully paid for. There are no assessments for improvements or other similar outstanding charges or Impositions affecting the Mortgaged Property. No Improvements lie outside the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Land or encroach onto any easements to any extent (unless affirmatively insured by the Title Policy), and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Land to any extent which would materially impair the Mortgaged Property. The Title Policy premium has been fully paid. Except for customary gap undertakings, neither Borrower, nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, any other Person, has provided any title indemnities (or analogous documentation) or deposits of cash or other security to the title insurer to obtain the Title Policy. The Permitted Encumbrances do not and will not materially interfere with the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage, the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the marketability or value of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower will preserve its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property for so long as the Obligations remain outstanding and will warrant and defend same and the validity and priority of the Mortgage and the Liens arising pursuant to the Loan Documents from and against any and all claims whatsoever other than the Permitted Encumbrances.
(B) The Mortgaged Property is zoned for use as a biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility with related office and lab facilities, which zoning designation is unconditional, is in full
-49-
force and effect, and is beyond all applicable appeal periods. Borrower is not in violation of, and, the Mortgaged Property is in full compliance with all applicable zoning, subdivision, land use and other Legal Requirements. No legal proceedings are pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge threatened, with respect to the compliance of the Mortgaged Property with Legal Requirements. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Mortgaged Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any real estate other than the Mortgaged Property and validly created, existing appurtenant perpetual easements insured in the Title Policy or use of public rights of way. 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 Legal Requirements applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits. The Mortgaged Property contains not less than 119 parking spaces, which is enough permanent parking spaces to satisfy all requirements imposed by applicable Legal Requirements with respect to parking. All licenses, permits and other Proprietary Rights necessary to operate the Mortgaged Property as it is currently operated are in full force and effect including all water permits and approvals. Borrower has not received any written notice of any violation of any such licenses, permits, authorizations, registrations or approvals that materially impair the value of the Mortgaged Property for which such notice was given or which would affect the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property in any material respect, which noticed violation remains uncured.
(C) Borrower has provided Lender with true and complete copies of all Material Contracts, all of which are specifically listed on Schedule 4.6(C) hereof, other than the Permitted Encumbrances. Except for the Loan Documents and as set forth on Schedule 4.6(C), Borrower is not a party to and neither it nor the Mortgaged Property is bound by any material agreement, document or instrument which is binding upon the Mortgaged Property other than the Loan Documents, the Permitted Encumbrances, the other Material Contracts, if any, and such party’s organizational documents, true, correct and complete copies of which have been delivered to Lender. Except for the Loan Documents and the Material Contracts, neither Borrower nor Guarantor are parties to or bound by, nor is any of their respective property subject to or bound by, any contract or other agreement which restricts its ability to conduct its business at the Mortgaged Property in the ordinary course or, either individually or in the aggregate, has a Material Adverse Effect or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower and Guarantor are not in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Material Contract of any such Person which could have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default exists.
(D) All of the Improvements are in good condition and repair. To Borrower’s knowledge, except as disclosed in the Physical Condition Report, there are no latent or patent structural or other significant defects or deficiencies in the Improvements or Equipment, Fixtures and Personalty. Municipal or private water supply, storm and sanitary sewers, and electrical, gas and telephone facilities are available to the Mortgaged Property to the boundary lines of the Mortgaged Property through publicly dedicated streets or highways or perpetual appurtenant easements insured on the Title Policy as appurtenant easements, are sufficient to meet the reasonable needs of the Mortgaged Property as now used or as otherwise presently contemplated to be used, and are connected to, and is in full unimpaired operation with respect to the Improvements and no other utility facilities are necessary to meet the reasonable needs of the
-50-
Mortgaged Property as now used. To Borrower’s knowledge, the design and as-built conditions of the Mortgaged Property are such that surface and storm water does not accumulate on the Mortgaged Property and does not drain from the Mortgaged Property across land of adjacent property owners or others in any manner which would have a Material Adverse Effect or which require any approvals or easements not already obtained. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6(D) or on the plat of survey delivered to Lender, no part of the Mortgaged Property is within a flood plain or in a flood hazard area as currently shown on the most recent Flood Hazard Boundary Maps prepared by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and (except to the extent validly created and existing perpetual appurtenant easements insured in the Title Policy have been created therefor) none of the Improvements create encroachments over, across or upon any of the Mortgaged Property’s boundary lines, rights of way or easements, and no building or other improvements on adjoining land create such an encroachment other than as shown on the survey delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(L). All irrigation lines servicing the Mortgaged Property are entirely located on the Mortgaged Property or are located on adjacent property pursuant to validly created and existing perpetual appurtenant easements insured as appurtenant easements in the Title Policy. The Land and Improvements have legally adequate contiguous rights of access to public ways. All roads necessary for the full utilization of the Land and Improvements for their current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities. No offsite improvements are necessary or used for the ownership, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property, other than public utilities. The Improvements, the Land, the Equipment, Fixtures and Personalty and the Inventory located on the Land constitutes all of the real property, equipment, fixtures and other tangible property currently owned or leased by Borrower or used in the operation of the Mortgaged Property and the Equipment, Fixtures and Personalty owned by the Borrower are sufficient to own, operate and use the Land and Improvements as currently operated. Except as identified in the Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower has not entered into any agreement or option, and is not otherwise bound, to sell the Mortgaged Property (or any part thereof). Borrower has not entered into any agreement or option, and is not otherwise bound, to acquire any additional real estate or Investments. As of the date hereof, no portion of the Improvements constituting part of the Mortgaged Property or on the Land has been materially damaged, destroyed or injured by fire or other casualty which has not been fully restored.
4.7 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7, there are no judgments outstanding against Borrower or Guarantor or are binding upon the Mortgaged Property or any property of, Borrower or Guarantor, nor is there any litigation, governmental investigation or arbitration pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge and to the extent having a Material Adverse Effect, threatened against Borrower or Guarantor. The judgments, litigation, investigations and arbitrations set forth on Schedule 4.7 will not result, if adversely determined, and could not reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any Material Adverse Effect and do not relate to and will not affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. No petition in bankruptcy, whether voluntary or involuntary, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any other action involving debtors’ and creditors’ rights has ever been filed under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, or threatened, by or against, Borrower or Guarantor. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7, there are no mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens, alienable bills or other claims constituting or that may constitute a Lien on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and no work for which any such Lien could be asserted has been performed which has not been fully paid for. Borrower has not received any
-51-
notice from any governmental or quasi-governmental body or agency or from any person or entity with respect to and Borrower does not know of any actual or threatened taking of the Land or Improvements, or any portion thereof, for any public or quasi-public propose or of any moratorium which may affect the use, operation or ownership of the Mortgaged Property.
4.8 Payment of Taxes. All tax returns and reports of Borrower and Guarantor required to be filed by such Persons have been timely filed, and all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon such Person and upon the Mortgaged Property, assets, income and franchises which are due and payable or which have been levied, imposed or assessed have been paid in full. To Borrower’s knowledge, no tax returns of Borrower or Guarantor is under audit. No tax liens have been filed and, to Borrower’s knowledge no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Borrower and Guarantor in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are in accordance with GAAP. Except as described in Schedule 4.8, Borrower and Guarantor have not given or been requested to give waivers or extensions (or is or would be subject to a waiver or extension given by any other Person) of any statute of limitations relating to the payment of taxes of Borrower and Guarantor or for which Borrower and Guarantor may be liable. All taxes that Borrower and Guarantor is or was required by Legal Requirements to withhold or collect have been duly withheld or collected and, to the extent required, have been paid to the applicable Governmental Authority. All tax returns filed by (or that include on a consolidated basis) Borrower and Guarantor are true, correct and complete. There is no tax sharing agreement that will require any payment by Borrower and Guarantor after the date of this Agreement. Borrower is taxed as a partnership for all federal and state income (or analogous) tax purposes. The Borrower does not intend to treat the Loan and related transactions hereunder as being a “reportable transaction” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4). In the event the Borrower determines to take any action inconsistent with the previous sentence, it will promptly notify the Lender thereof. If the Borrower so notifies Lender, the Borrower acknowledges that Lender may treat the Loan as part of a transaction that is subject to Treasury Regulation Section 301.6112-1, and that Lender may maintain any lists and other records required by such Treasury Regulation.
4.9 Governmental Regulation; Margin Loan. Borrower and Guarantor are not, nor after giving effect to the Loan, will be, subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or to any federal or state statute or regulation limiting its ability to incur indebtedness for borrowed money. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan only for the purposes set forth in this Agreement and consistent with all applicable laws, statutes, rules and regulations. No portion of the proceeds of the Loan shall be used by Borrower in any manner that might cause the borrowing or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation U, Regulation T or Regulation X or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to violate the Exchange Act or any other Legal Requirements.

-52-
Designated and Blocked Persons list) or under any statute, executive order (including, but not limited to, the September 24, 2001 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism) or other governmental action relating to terrorism financing, terrorism* support and/or otherwise relating to terrorism and are not and shall not engage in any dealings or transaction or otherwise be associated with Persons named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons list. At all times throughout the term of the Loan, including after giving effect to any Transfers, (a) none of the funds or other assets of Borrower and Guarantor constitute property of, or are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any government or other Person subject to trade restrictions under U.S. law, including, but not limited to, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701 et seq., The Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C.

4.10 Employee Benefit Plans; ERISA; Employees. Except for the Employee Benefit Plans set forth on Schedule 4.10, neither Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate of Borrower maintains or contributes to, or has any obligation under, any Employee Benefit Plans. Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan” (within the meaning of section 3(3) of ERISA) to which ERISA applies and the Mortgaged Property and Borrower’s assets do not constitute plan assets. No actions, suits or claims under any laws and regulations promulgated pursuant to ERISA are pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against Borrower. Borrower has no knowledge of any material liability incurred by Borrower which remains unsatisfied for any taxes or penalties with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or any Multiemployer Plan, or of any lien which has been imposed on Borrower’s assets pursuant to section 412 of the Code or section 302 or 4068 of ERISA. The Loan, the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA. Borrower is not a party to any collective bargaining or other employment agreement other than the agreements identified on Schedule 4.10.
4.11 Intellectual Property. Schedule 4.11 sets forth a true, correct and complete list of all of the patents, trademarks, tradenames, technology, other intellectual property rights and other Proprietary Rights owned by Borrower and used in connection with the ownership, operation and management of the Mortgaged Property.

-53-
associated therewith, “Proprietary Rights”) presently required or necessary to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate, the Mortgaged Property and to carry on its business as now conducted, except where the failure to obtain same would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

The insurance coverage required under this Section 5.4 may be effected under a blanket policy or policies covering the Mortgaged Property and other properties and assets not constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property; provided that any such blanket policy shall specify the portion of the total coverage of such policy that is allocated to the Mortgaged Property, and any sublimits in such blanket policy applicable to the Mortgaged Property, which amounts shall
-62-
not be less than the amounts required pursuant to this Section 5.4 and which shall in any case comply in all other respects with all of the requirements of this Section 5.4. Borrower shall comply with all insurance requirements and shall not bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept any article upon the Mortgaged Property or cause or permit any condition to exist thereon which would be prohibited by any insurance requirement, or would invalidate insurance coverage required hereunder to be maintained by Borrower on or with respect to any part of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Section 5.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is expressly understood and agreed that any insurance which Borrower shall cause any tenant to provide that shall otherwise be in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4 shall satisfy Borrower’s obligations with respect thereto hereunder. Borrower shall cause each tenant to provide business interruption, products/completed operations and workers compensation coverage in amounts reasonably acceptable to Borrower to insure risks of each tenant’s business. Borrower will not take out separate insurance contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 5.4 unless such insurance complies with this Section 5.4. All insurance policies shall be in form, with endorsements, risk coverage, deductibles and amounts and maintained with companies approved by Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without limiting Lender’s ability to approve the aforementioned, an insurance company shall not be reasonably satisfactory unless such insurance company (a) has a rating of a least A with financial size of Class X or better as specified in Best’s Key Rating Guide, (b) is licensed or authorized to do business, as required under applicable law, in the State where the Mortgaged Property is located and (c) a claims-paying ability rating by S&P of not less than “A” and an equivalent rating by another Rating Agency. All insurance policies insuring against casualty, rent loss and other appropriate policies shall provide that no claims be paid thereunder without twenty (20) days’ advance written notice to Lender. Such notice may be given by Borrower. Lender shall not, by the fact of approving, disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining or failing to obtain any insurance, incur any liability for or with respect to the amount of insurance carried, the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of insurance companies, or payment or defense of lawsuits, and Borrower hereby expressly assumes Ml responsibility therefore and all liability, if any, with respect thereto. If Borrower fails to provide to Lender the policies of insurance required by this Section 5.4 or any other Loan Documents, Lender may (but shall have no obligation to) procure such insurance or single-interest insurance for such risks covering Lender’s interest and Borrower will pay all premiums thereon within five (5) Business Days of written notice by Lender, and until such payment is made by Borrower, the amount of all such premiums shall bear interest at the Default Rate and shall constitute additions to the Obligations.
5.5 Tax Reserve and Insurance Reserve. Borrower shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with Lender (or such agent of Lender as Lender may designate in writing to Borrower from time to time), monthly, on each Payment Date, 1/12th of the annual charges (as estimated by Lender) for all Impositions relating to the Mortgaged Property and all insurance premiums with respect to the insurance that relate specifically to the Mortgaged Property (including documentation reasonably acceptable to Lender demonstrating premium allocation for the premiums that relate specifically to the Mortgage Property) as required pursuant to Section 5.4(A)(i), (ii) and (iv). Borrower shall also deposit with Lender, simultaneously with such monthly deposits and/or on the Closing Date, a sum of money which, together with such monthly deposits, will be sufficient to make the payment of each such charge at least thirty (30) days prior to the date finally delinquent. Should such charges not be ascertainable at the time any deposit is required to be
-63-
made, the deposit shall be made on the basis of Lender’s reasonable estimate. When the charges are fixed for the then current year or period, Borrower shall deposit any deficiency within fifteen (15) days following Lender’s written demand. Should an Event of Default occur and be continuing, the funds so deposited may be applied in payment of the charges for which such funds shall have been deposited or to the payment of the Obligations or any other charges affecting the Mortgaged Property as Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, but no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided. Borrower shall provide Lender with bills and all other documents necessary for the payment of the foregoing charges at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which each payment thereof shall first become delinquent. So long as (i) no Event of Default exists, (ii) Borrower has provided Lender with the foregoing bills and other documents in a timely manner, and (iii) sufficient funds are held by Lender for the payment of the Impositions and insurance premiums relating to the Mortgaged Property, as applicable, Lender shall pay said items or allow such funds to be used to pay said items or to reimburse Borrower for such items upon Lender’s receipt of reasonable evidence documenting Borrower’s payment of such items. All refunds of Impositions and insurance premiums shall be deposited into the applicable of the Tax Reserve Account or the Insurance Reserve Account.

The appraiser performing any such appraisal shall be engaged by Lender. Borrower shall not be responsible for the expenses of any such appraisal, provided, however, Borrower shall pay the fees of such appraiser in connection with one appraisal of the Mortgaged Property during the term of the Loan and any such appraisal when conducted following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any Governmental Authority which may in any way affect the rights of Lender under any of the Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, not prohibit Lender, at its election, from participating in any such proceedings.

5.11 Further Assurances. Borrower shall, from time to time, at its sole cost and expense, execute and/or deliver, or cause execution and/or delivery of, such documents, agreements and reports, and perform such acts as Lender at any time may reasonably request to carry out the purposes and otherwise implement the terms and provisions provided for in the Loan
-66-
Documents. Borrower shall execute any documents and take any other actions necessary to provide Lender with a first priority, perfected security interest in the Reserves and the other Collateral.

5.12 Capital Expenditure Reserve. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit the amount required to be deposited into the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account on the Settlement Statement into the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account and thereafter Borrower shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with Lender (or such agent of Lender as Lender may designate in writing from time to time) into the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account, monthly, on each Payment Date, an amount equal to $3,000.00 for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a reserve (the “Capital Expenditure Reserve”) for the completion of capital improvement items and for equipment for use at the Mortgaged Property (“Capital Improvements”) which are approved in advance by Lender (“Approved Capital Improvements”). The funds contained in the Capital Expenditure Reserve shall be utilized by Borrower solely for Approved Capital Improvements. So long as no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of any requested distribution of funds from the Capital Expenditure Reserve, Lender shall make funds in the Capital Expenditure Reserve available to Borrower subject to satisfaction of each of the following terms and conditions: (a) all Capital Expenditure Reserve funds released by Lender to Borrower shall be used to pay for or reimburse Borrower for the reasonable expenses actually incurred and paid by Borrower for Approved Capital Improvements; (b) Borrower shall have given Lender a Request for Release satisfactory to Lender; (c) disbursements from the Capital Expenditure Reserve shall not be made more frequently than once per Loan Month; (d) each request for a disbursement shall be in an amount of not less than $10,000.00; and (e) upon request of Lender, Borrower shall also provide Lender with additional evidence satisfactory to Lender that Borrower is the owner or lessee of any capital improvements or equipment for which reimbursement is sought, free of any Liens (other than the first priority security interest in favor of Lender). Lender shall make each disbursement of the Capital Expenditure Reserve funds within fifteen (15) days after satisfaction of all the conditions to that disbursement. If an Event of Default exists, Lender may apply the Capital Expenditure Reserve funds, together with any interest accrued thereon, to Borrower’s Obligations in such order and priority as Lender may
-67-
determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that in any calendar year Borrower has expended sums on capital improvements and equipment approved in advance by Lender in excess of the sums required to be deposited into the Capital Expenditure Reserve hereunder for such period, Borrower may request that Lender approve (which approval shall be in Lender’s sole but good faith discretion) a reduction in the amount Borrower shall be required to deposit in the Capital Expenditure Reserve for the remaining portion of the calendar year to reflect the amount of such excess expenditures. Borrower shall furnish to Lender on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day following the end of each Loan Quarter a statement (“Capital Expenditure Reserve Statement”) setting forth (a) all deposits into and disbursements from the Capital Expenditure Reserve, (b) calculation of the aforesaid monthly deposits, including support documentation for the calculation of the applicable monthly Gross Revenues, and (c) a schedule of capital improvements and related expenses to which disbursements from the Capital Expenditure Reserve were applied during the applicable Loan Quarter, including, to the extent not previously provided to, and approved by, Lender, invoices, receipts, lien waivers and other documentation as Lender shall request. Lender shall not make any disbursements from the Capital Expenditure Reserve until (i) Lender has approved the expenditures proposed by Borrower, (ii) all conditions to such disbursement have been satisfied and (iii) Borrower has provided Lender with all invoices, receipts, lien waivers and other documentation reasonably requested by Lender. Lender may audit Borrower’s calculation of amounts deposited into the Capital Expenditure Reserve to determine the accuracy of Borrower’s calculation and, if such audit discloses a shortfall in the amounts theretofore deposited into the Capital Expenditure Reserve, Borrower shall promptly deposit the amount of such shortfall into the Capital Expenditure Reserve.
5.13 Equity Account. Simultaneous with the Closing, Borrower shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) the Borrower’s Initial Equity Contribution into a segregated account of Borrower with a financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Lender (the “Equity Account”).

5.14 Drug Approval. On or before December 31, 2007, Borrower shall obtain and shall deliver to Lender evidence (reasonably satisfactory to Lender) that the drug commonly known as “Soliris” has received final approval from the Food & Drug Administration Agency in the United States or the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) (the “Drug Approval”).
5.15 Acceptable Letter of Credit. In the event Borrower delivers an Acceptable Letter of Credit as a cure for failing to obtain Drug Approval in accordance with Section 5.14 of this Agreement, Borrower shall, if the Issuer ceases to have a Credit Rating of both “A+” or higher by S&P and “A1” or higher by Xxxxx’x, Borrower shall, within twenty (20) Business Days of the rating downgrade, replace the Acceptable Letter of Credit with one issued by a bank having such rating.

5.18 Management. Borrower shall provide competent, responsible management for the Mortgaged Property, which management, Lender acknowledges, is currently being provided, at no expense or cost to Borrower, by employees of Guarantor. In the event Borrower enters into a Management Agreement subsequent to the date hereof, the Manager and such Management Agreement must contain subordination and termination provisions and must be otherwise satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall not enter into any management agreement or arrangement with any Person with respect to the management of the Mortgaged Property without Lender’s prior written consent. Borrower shall cause management subordination agreements in form and substance satisfactory to Lender to be executed by the Manager. Borrower shall not modify, amend or terminate any approved management agreement without Lender’s prior written consent. Borrower shall provide Lender with written notice of the occurrence of any event of default or condition which with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute an event of default under any Management Agreement or which would entitle the Manager to terminate the Management Agreement. Any Management Agreement entered into by Borrower shall be terminated by Borrower, at Lender’s request, upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Borrower (i) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or (ii) if such Manager commits any act which would permit termination by Borrower under such Management Agreement. If a Manager is terminated pursuant hereto, Borrower shall immediately seek to appoint a replacement manager which is a Qualified Manager, and Borrower’s failure to appoint an acceptable Manager within thirty (30) days after Lender’s request of such Borrower to terminate the Management Agreement shall constitute an immediate Event of Default.
5.19 Construction Matters. Without limitation of Lender’s rights and Borrower’s Obligations set forth elsewhere in the Loan Documents, Borrower shall: (1) cause the Restoration and all other Construction to proceed with reasonable diligence and continuously, with sufficient workers employed and sufficient materials supplied for that purpose so that the applicable Construction is substantially completed by the applicable Required Completion Date, or, if no Required Completion Date is applicable, as promptly as reasonably practicable or, in the case of Restoration, the Restoration is Substantially Completed prior to the Required Restoration Date; (2) cause all Construction to be performed in accordance with the applicable Plans and Specifications or plans and specifications for the work in question, in substantial conformity with the Legal Requirements, the requirements of all insurers and fire underwriters, and with the requirements set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, in compliance with the Material Contracts and in a good, safe and workmanlike manner; (3) cause all materials acquired or furnished in connection with the Construction and Restoration to be new and stored under adequate safeguards to minimize the possibility of loss, theft, damage or commingling with other materials or projects; (4) utilize, or permit utilization of, only contractors approved by Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); (5) not permit the revision of Plans and Specifications without consent of Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and (6) from time to time upon the reasonable request of Lender deliver to Lender such certificates and other documentation confirming the matters set forth in the preceding clauses (1) through (5). Promptly upon the giving or receipt of such notice, Borrower shall forward to Lender copies of all material written notices given or received by, or on behalf of, Borrower with respect to the Construction to or from: (x) Contractor or any subcontractor or material supplier, or any of the design professionals (including notices relating to any
-69-
nonconforming construction, any refusal or inability to pay or perform pursuant to the terms of any contract or other agreement or any delay, default or change order) or (y) any claim of default, or relating to any work stoppage, notice of violation or cease and desist order, stop order, construction liens, strike, claim, litigation, damage, loss or any other materially adverse condition, circumstance or event.

This Agreement shall be deemed a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code.
6.6 Certain Matters Regarding Lender following an Event of Default. Borrower agrees that the Bank shall pay over to Lender all amounts deposited in the Reserve Accounts on demand, without notice to Borrower, if, in making such demand, Lender shall give notice, in writing, signed by Lender or an authorized agent thereof, that an Event of Default exists. Lender may exercise in respect of the Reserve Account and Other Accounts Collateral all rights and remedies available to Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available at law or in equity. If an Event of Default exists, Lender may exercise in respect of the Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code then in effect in the applicable jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agree(s) that, upon the occurrence and during
-73-
the continuance of an Event of Default, it will have no further right to request or otherwise require Lender to disburse funds from any Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, it being agreed that Lender may, at its option, (i) direct the Bank to continue to hold the funds in the Reserve Accounts, (ii) continue, from time to time, to apply all or any portion of the funds held in the Reserve Accounts to any payment(s) which such funds could have been applied to prior to such Event of Default (or to pay Expenses directly), to the extent and in such order and manner as Lender in its sole discretion may determine, and/or (iii) direct the Bank to disburse all or any portion of the funds held in the Reserve Accounts or other Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral then or thereafter held by the Bank to Lender, in which event Lender may apply the funds held in the Reserve Accounts or other Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral to the Obligations, in any order and in such manner as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. If an Event of Default exists, Lender may, at any time or from time to time: (1) collect, appropriate, redeem, realize upon or otherwise enforce its rights with respect to the Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral, or any part thereof, without notice to any Borrower and without the need to institute any legal action, make demand to or upon any Borrower or any other Person, exhaust any other remedies or otherwise proceed to enforce its rights; (2) execute (in the name, place and stead of Borrower) any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance which may be required for the withdrawal and negotiation of the Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral; and/or (3) exercise all other rights and remedies available to Lender hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (w) Borrower shall remain liable under the Loan Documents to the extent set forth herein and therein to perform all of its respective obligations thereunder, to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed; (x) the exercise by Lender of any of its rights hereunder shall not release Borrower from its obligations under any of the Loan Documents, nor shall it constitute an election of remedies by Lender or a waiver by Lender of any of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents; (y) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall not have any obligation or liability by reason of this Agreement, nor shall Lender be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of Borrower hereunder or to take any action, in each case, to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder; and (z) Lender shall not have to resort to using the Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral before making demand upon or bringing an action against Borrower under any Loan Document under any guaranty given in connection with the Loan. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The remedies provided in this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.
6.7 Representations and Warranties Regarding Reserve Account and Other Accounts Collateral. In addition to any representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, Borrower represents and warrants as follows: (a) Borrower is the legal and beneficial owner of the Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral, respectively, free and clear of any Liens, except for the Liens in favor of Lender created by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (b) upon execution by Borrower of this Agreement, the pledge and assignment of the Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral pursuant to this Agreement will create a valid, first priority security interest in the such Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral, securing the payment and performance of the

Lender may, from time to time, at its sole option, perform any act which Borrower agrees hereunder to perform which Borrower shall fail to perform after being requested in writing to so perform within 30 days of such request (or such shorter period as may be required by law) and Lender may from time to time take any other action which Lender deems necessary for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the rights granted to Lender hereunder. With respect to the powers conferred on Lender hereunder, Lender shall not have any duty as to the Accounts or the other Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral, or any responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to any matters relative to the Accounts or the other Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral, whether or not Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to the Accounts or the other Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral.

Borrower shall not become an “employee benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA) to which ERISA applies and Borrower shall not permit its assets to be plan assets.
7.11 Due on Sale or Encumbrance.

-78-
Transfer of an indirect ownership interest in Borrower, by the current owner thereof to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guarantor and (ii) Transfers of ownership interests in a Person whose stock is publicly traded, so long as (x) no such transfers described in parts (i) and (ii) of this sentence result in any Person or Group acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than a forty-nine percent (49%) direct or indirect interest in Borrower (if such Person or Group did not prior to the Transfer, own at least forty-nine percent (49%) of the direct or indirect ownership interests in Borrower), unless such Person or Group acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than a forty-nine percent (49%) direct or indirect interest in Borrower has a Credit Rating of “Baa2” or higher from Xxxxx’x or “BBB” or higher from S&P, or, as applicable, an equivalent rating from another Rating Agency, or, if such Person or Group is not rated by a Rating Agency, has (A) a Net Worth of $2,000,000,000 or more, (B) an EBITDA Interest Coverage of 6.0 or greater and (C) a Total Debt/Capitalization no greater than 30%, and (y) no Change in Control occurs by virtue of such Transfers (other than pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of “Change of Control”).

Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and Guarantor in owning and operating properties such as the Mortgaged Property in agreeing to make the Loan and will continue to rely on such ownership of the Mortgaged Property and Borrower and Guarantor as a means of maintaining the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for repayment of the Loan and the performance of the other Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Mortgaged Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Loan or the performance of the other Obligations, Lender can recover the Loan by a sale of the Mortgaged Property. Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Loan immediately due and payable upon any Default under this Section 7.11.
7.12 Payments; Distributions. Except for payments of management fees otherwise permitted to be paid to Manager under this Agreement pursuant to a Management Agreement approved by Lender at a time when no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall not pay any distributions, dividends or other payments or return any capital to any of its respective partners, members, owners or shareholders or any other Affiliate or make any distribution of assets, rights, options, obligations or securities to any of its respective partners, members, shareholders or owners or any other Affiliate (individually, or collectively, a “Distribution”) unless (a) on the date of the proposed Distribution, and after giving effect to the subsequent Distribution, no Event of Default exists; (b) funds are not then required to be deposited into any Reserves; (c) Borrower is not “insolvent” (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code) and will not be rendered insolvent by virtue of such Distribution; (d) Borrower shall deliver, at least ten (10) days in advance of the proposed Distribution, to Lender, an Officer’s Certificate executed by the chief financial officer or similar officer of Borrower, stating that the foregoing conditions (a), (b) and (c) have been satisfied.

If no Event of Default exists, Borrower may undertake any alteration, improvement, demolition or removal of Improvements or any portion thereof (any such alteration, improvement, demolition or removal, an “Alteration”) so long as (1) Borrower provides Lender with at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice of any such Alteration, (2) such Alteration is undertaken in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, is not prohibited by, and is in full compliance with, and does not violate, any Material Contracts or Legal Requirements and does not, during Construction and upon completion, have a Material Adverse Effect, (3) such Alteration is (x) in the nature of a Restoration required or permitted under the Agreement or (y) if not in the nature of the Alterations contemplated by (x), if the cost of such Alteration, as estimated by Lender, exceeds $100,000, then such Alteration has been consented to by Lender, such consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (and in the case of Alterations the cost of which, as estimated by Lender, does not exceed $100,000, no such consent shall be required), (4) Borrower has delivered to Lender copies of all plans and specifications detailing the Alteration and (5) prior to commencement and from time to time upon request from Lender, Borrower delivers an Officer’s Certificate certifying that conditions (1)–(3), inclusive, have been satisfied. Any Alteration shall, unless Lender otherwise approves or the Agreement otherwise provides, be conducted under the supervision of an independent architect approved by Lender (an “Independent Architect”). No Alteration (the cost of which is in excess of $100,000) shall be undertaken until Lender has approved plans and specifications prepared by such Independent Architect or another Person approved by Lender, such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.14 to the contrary, Borrower shall have the right to make non-structural Alterations to the Improvements, the cost of which does not exceed $100,000 per Alteration, without Lender’s consent and without complying with clause (3) set forth above; provided, however, that Borrower shall provide Lender with prior written notice at least ten (10) days prior to commencing such Alteration and prior to commencing any permitted Alteration, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender a copy of the proposed plans and specifications for such Alteration.

Borrower shall obtain Lender’s approval prior to any settlement, adjustment or compromise of any claims for loss, damage or destruction under any policy or policies of insurance or with respect to any condemnation, and Lender shall have the right to participate with Borrower in negotiation of any such settlement, adjustment or compromise provided, however, Borrower shall be permitted, so long as no Event of Default exists, to settle insurance claims of $250,000 or less without Lender’s approval (but with reasonable advance notice to Lender) and utilize any such funds for Restoration. Lender shall also have the right to appear with Borrower in any action against an insurer based on a claim for loss, damage or destruction under any policy or policies of insurance.
(b) All compensation, proceeds, damages, claims, insurance recoveries, rights of action and payments which Borrower may receive or to which Borrower may become entitled with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof as a result of any casualty or condemnation, except as set forth below in this Section 8.1 (the “Proceeds”), shall be paid over to Lender and shall be held in an escrow account with an Acceptable Financial Institution. The Proceeds shall be applied first toward reimbursement of all costs and expenses of Lender in connection with recovery of the same, and then, except as set forth below in this Section 8.1, shall be applied in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender, without regard to the adequacy of Lender’s security hereunder, to the payment or prepayment of the Obligations in such order as Lender may determine, and any amounts so applied shall reduce the Obligations pro tanto (without any Prepayment Premium due in connection therewith). Any application of the Proceeds or any portion thereof to the Obligations shall not be construed to cure or waive any Event of Default or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such Event of Default.
(c) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.1, and provided that (i) all Proceeds have been deposited with an Acceptable Financial Institution; (ii) no Event of Default shall exist; (iii) a Total Loss with respect to the Property shall not have occurred; (iv) the Restoration is capable, as reasonably determined by Lender, of being completed before the earlier (the “Required Restoration Date”) to occur of (x) the date which is six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (y) the date on which the insurance carried by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4(a)(ii), with respect to the Mortgaged Property shall expire and (z) twenty-four (24) months after the occurrence of the casualty or condemnation in question; (v) Lender shall have been furnished with an estimate of the cost of restoration accompanied by an architect’s certificate as to such costs and
-81-
appropriate final plans and specifications for reconstruction of the Improvements, all of which shall be approved by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (vi) the Improvements so restored or rebuilt shall be of at least equal value and substantially the same character as prior to the damage or destruction and appropriate for the purposes for which they were originally erected (and, if requested by Lender, Borrower will furnish, at its expense, an appraisal confirming such valuation); (vii) Borrower shall have furnished Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all Improvements so restored and/or reconstructed and their use fully comply with all applicable zoning, building laws, ordinances and regulations and other Legal Requirements and that all required licenses and approvals required for use, operation and occupancy of the Improvements can be obtained, to the extent available; (viii) if the estimated cost of restoration exceeds the Proceeds available, Borrower shall have deposited with Lender such sums or other security as may be necessary, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, to pay such excess costs and (ix) Lender shall have received notice within thirty (30) days of the fire or other hazard or of the condemnation proceedings specifying the date of such fire or other hazard or the date the notice of condemnation proceedings was received and the request to Lender to make said Proceeds available to Borrower; then the Proceeds, less the actual costs, fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with adjustment of loss and Lender’s reasonable administrative expenses relating to such loss and the disbursement of the Proceeds shall be made available by Lender to the payment of all the costs of the aforesaid restoration, repairs, replacement, rebuilding or alterations, including the cost of temporary repairs or for the protection of property pending the completion of permanent restoration, repairs, replacements, rebuilding or alterations (all of which temporary repairs, protection of property and permanent restoration, repairs, replacement, rebuilding or alterations are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Restoration”), and shall be paid out from time to time as such Restoration progresses upon the request of Borrower if the work for which payment is requested has been done in a good and workmanlike manner, in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements and substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor. Each request by Borrower for disbursement of Proceeds shall (unless Lender otherwise elects, in its sole discretion, with respect to a Restoration estimated by Lender to cost $100,000 or less to complete, to waive any of the following requirements) be accompanied by the required Lien Waivers, a Request for Release, and, to the extent not subsumed within a Request for Release, the following:
(1) A certificate signed by Borrower, dated not more than thirty (30) days prior to such request, setting forth the following: (A) That the sum then requested either has been paid, or is justly due to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, engineers, architects or other persons who have rendered services or furnished materials for the restoration therein specified or have paid for the same, the names and addresses of such persons, a brief description of such services and materials, the several amounts so paid or due to each of said persons in respect thereof (together with supporting statements and invoices for the same), that no part of such expenditures has been or is being made the basis of any previous or then pending request for the withdrawal of Proceeds or has been made out of any of the Proceeds received by Borrower, and that the sum then requested does not exceed the value of the services and materials described in the certificate; and (B)
-82-
That the costs, as estimated by the persons signing such certificate, of the Restoration required to be done subsequent to the date of such certificate in order to complete and pay for the same, do not exceed the Proceeds, plus any amount or security approved by Lender and deposited with such Acceptable Financial Institution by Borrower to defray such costs and remaining in the hands of Lender after payment of the sum requested in such certificate.
(2) A title insurance report or other evidence satisfactory to Lender to the effect that there has not been filed with respect to the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, any vendor’s, contractor’s, mechanics’, laborer’s, materialmen’s or other Lien which has not been discharged of record or bonded or insured over, except such as will be disbursed by payment of the amount then requested.
(3) A certificate signed by the Independent Architect and/or engineer in charge of the Restoration, who shall be selected by Borrower and approved in writing by Lender, certifying that the Restoration is proceeding in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Lender and in accordance with all zoning, subdivision and other Legal Requirements. Upon compliance with the foregoing provisions, Lender shall, out of Proceeds (and the amount of security approved by Lender, if any, deposited by Borrower to defray the costs of the Restoration), pay or cause to be paid to Borrower or the Persons named (pursuant to clause (1)(A) above) in such certificate the respective amounts stated therein to have been paid by Borrower or to be due to them, as the case may be.
(d) If the Proceeds at the time held by the Acceptable Financial Institution, less the actual costs, fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the adjustment of the loss and Lender’s administrative expenses relating to such loss and the disbursement of the Proceeds, shall be, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, insufficient to pay the entire cost of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit with such Acceptable Financial Institution any such deficiency prior to disbursement of any additional portion of the Proceeds. Lender shall at all times have a perfected security interest on all Proceeds and other amounts held by such Acceptable Financial Institution pursuant to this Section 8. No payment made prior to the final completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety-five percent (95%) of the value of the work performed from time to time (provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, subcontractors who have completed their work may be paid in full), and at all times the undisbursed balance of said Proceeds remaining in the hands of Lender shall be at least sufficient to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration free and clear of liens. In addition to the requirements and conditions set forth in Section 5.19, final payment shall be upon an architect’s certificate of completion in accordance with the final plans and specifications and compliance with all applicable zoning, building, subdivision and other governmental laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations, the filing of a notice of completion and delivery to Lender of a certified copy of a final unconditional permanent certificate of occupancy regarding the Restoration, provided, that if only a temporary certificate of occupancy is available, it shall be accepted for so long as it is operative until Borrower obtains the final certificate. To the extent available, Lender may, at its option, require an endorsement to the Title Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage as to all sums advanced
-83-
hereunder, such endorsement to be paid for by Borrower. Upon completion of the Restoration in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance herewith, and provided that Lender has received satisfactory evidence that the Restoration has been paid for in full and the Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all Liens, other than the Liens created in favor of Lender by the Loan Documents and the Permitted Encumbrances (including signed lien waivers from all contractors and subcontractors conditioned only on payment of amounts specified therein), any balance of the Proceeds at the time held by Lender (after reimbursement to Lender of all costs and expenses of Lender, including administrative expenses, in connection with recovery of the same and disbursement of such Proceeds for the Restoration), if any, shall be applied as follows: (i) to the extent that such balance of the Proceeds is equal to or less than the amount, if any, by which the value of the Mortgaged Property prior to such damage or destruction exceeds the value of the Mortgaged Property after such Restoration (for these purposes, the value of the Mortgaged Property shall be determined by Lender in its discretion), then the portion of the balance of the Proceeds equal to such excess amount shall be applied to the payment or prepayment of the principal balance of the Obligations in such order as Lender may determine, and any amounts so applied shall reduce the Obligations pro tanto (without any Prepayment Premium due in connection therewith); and (ii) to the extent that the balance of the Proceeds exceeds such excess amount, such portion of the balance of the Proceeds shall be paid to Borrower.
(e) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to excuse Borrower from repairing or maintaining the Mortgaged Property as provided in the Agreement hereof or restoring all damage or destruction to the Mortgaged Property, regardless of whether or not there are insurance proceeds available or whether any such Proceeds are sufficient in amount, and the application or release by Lender of any Proceeds shall not cure or waive any Default or Event of Default or invalidate any other act done by Lender to exercise its remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, if, prior to the last two (2) years of the term of the Loan, Lender elects not to make such Proceeds available to Borrower for restoration, then Borrower may prepay the Loan without payment of the Prepayment Premium, so long as an Event of Default is not then in existence.

The rights to notice and cure periods granted herein shall not be cumulative with any other rights to notice or a cure period in any other Loan Document and the giving of notice or a cure period pursuant to this section shall satisfy any and all obligations of Lender to grant any such notice or cure period pursuant to any of the Loan Documents.

9.2 Acceleration and Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Sections 9.1(E) and 9.1(F), payment of all Obligations shall be accelerated without notice, presentment, demand, protest or notice of protest and shall be immediately due and payable and, in addition, Lender may in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or under any other Loan Documents, exercise one of more of the following rights and remedies as it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than Events of Default specified in Sections 9.1(E) and 9.1(F)), Lender, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Lender at law or in equity, or under any of the other Loan Documents, may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies as it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable:
(a) Acceleration. Declare immediately due and payable, without further notice, protest, presentment, notice of protest or demand, all Obligations including all monies advanced under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and/or any of the Loan Documents which are then unpaid, together with all interest then accrued thereon and all other amounts then owing (including any Default Interest, or prepayment premium owed as a result of such acceleration). If payment of the Obligations is accelerated, Lender may, in its sole discretion, exercise all rights and remedies hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and/or any of the other Loan Documents at law, in equity or otherwise.
(b) Possession. Enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and proceed in the name of Lender or Borrower as the attorney-in-fact of Borrower (which authority, to the extent permitted by law, is hereby granted by Borrower, is coupled with an interest, and is irrevocable), as Lender shall elect. If Lender elects to so enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property, Lender (i) may enforce or cancel all contracts entered into by Borrower or make other contracts which are in Lender’s sole opinion advisable, and (iii) shall be reimbursed by Borrower upon demand any reasonable amount or amounts expended by Lender for such performance together with any reasonable costs, charges, or expenses incident thereto or otherwise incurred or expended by Lender or its representatives (including an appraisal) on behalf of Borrower in connection with the Mortgaged Property, and the amounts so expended shall be considered part of the Loan evidenced by the Note and secured by the Loan Documents and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(f) Cessation of Loan Funding. Cease disbursement of Loan Proceeds.
9.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers; Reasonable Charges. All of the remedies given to Lender in the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity to Lender shall be cumulative and may be exercised separately, successively or concurrently. Failure to exercise any one of the remedies herein provided shall not constitute a waiver thereof by Lender, nor shall the use of any such remedies prevent the subsequent or concurrent resort to any other remedy or remedies vested in Lender by the Loan Documents or at law or in equity. To be effective, any waiver by Lender must be in writing and such waiver shall be limited in its effect to the condition or default specified therein, and no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent condition or default. It is agreed that (i) the actual costs and damages that Lender would suffer by reason of an Event of Default (exclusive of the attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents) or a prepayment would be difficult and needlessly expensive to calculate and establish, and (ii) the amounts of the Default Rate, the Late Charge, and the Prepayment Premium are reasonable, taking into consideration the circumstances known to the parties at this time, and (iii) the Default Rate, the Late Charges and Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable as provided herein, and (iv) the Default Rate, Late Charges, Prepayment Premium, and the obligation to pay Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and other enforcement costs do not, individually or collectively, constitute a penalty.
SECTION 10
SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTION
10.1 Secondary Market Transaction. Borrower agrees that Lender has the absolute right to securitize, syndicate, grant participations in, or otherwise Transfer all or any portion of the Loan (each such transaction, a “Securitization”). Lender may determine to Transfer some or all of the Loan or retain title to some or all of the Loan as part of a Securitization. Borrower further agrees that Lender may delegate any or all of Lender’s rights, powers and privileges to a servicer (“Servicer”) and Borrower shall, upon notice from Lender, recognize the Servicer as the agent of Lender. In the event this Loan becomes or is designated by Lender to become an asset of a Securitization, upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall meet, from time to time, with
-89-
representatives of the Rating Agencies in connection with such a Securitization to discuss the business and operations of the Mortgaged Property and, in that regard, agrees to cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Rating Agencies including delivering any existing environmental information relating to the Mortgaged Property in Borrower’s possession. Lender may retain the Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on any certificates issued in a Securitization. In no event shall Borrower be required to pay any servicer fees, Securitization trustee fees or other Securitization administrative expenses except as may be expressly provided in this Agreement. Borrower shall, upon request from Lender, from time to time, cooperate, and Borrower shall, cause Guarantor to cooperate, in all reasonable respects in connection with a Securitization. Such cooperation may, in Lender’s discretion, include documentation changes, changes in organizational documents, changes in Accounts, Reserves, Payment Dates, Interest Periods, insurance endorsement changes, tenant payment direction changes, site inspections, updated appraisals, preparation and delivery of financial information or other diligence requested by Lender and/or any Rating Agency; provided, however, any third party costs incurred by Borrower related to such changes shall be reimbursed by Lender and such changes shall not materially and adversely diminish Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents nor increase Borrower’s burdens and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such cooperation may include, in Lender’s discretion, execution of one or more promissory notes and the creation of Liens securing such notes of differing priority and/or the creation of mezzanine debt secured by pledges of all of the membership interests in the Borrower so long as the principal amount, interest rate, payment terms and other monetary terms of the Loan do not, in the aggregate change. Borrower will not be required to incur more than de minimis expenses or costs pursuant to this Section 10.1, except to the extent Borrower is otherwise obligated under the Loan Documents to pay such costs and expenses. Borrower will, upon request from Lender, in connection with a Securitization, enter into such acknowledgments and confirmations of the applicable assignments as Lender may request. Borrower shall, subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 10.1, use reasonable efforts to satisfy the market standards which Lender determines are reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with a Securitization. Borrower will not, pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 10.1, incur, suffer or accept (except to a de minimis extent) (i) any lesser rights or greater obligations as are currently set forth in the Loan Documents or Borrower’s Organizational Documents (unless Borrower is made whole by the holder of the Note) or (ii) subject to Section 11.13 hereof, any personal liability other than as set forth in the Loan Documents. Borrower will also, if requested by Lender, cause independent counsel to render opinions customary in securitization transactions with respect to the Mortgaged Property and Borrower and its Affiliates (but not a true sale, 10b-5 or nonconsolidation opinion), which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies and which shall be addressed to such Persons as shall be reasonably designated by the holder of the Note. Borrower’s failure to deliver the opinions required hereby within fifteen (15) Business Days after written request therefor shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. If requested by Lender, Borrower’s cooperation will also include (but subject to Section 11.13) certifications and agreements pursuant to which Borrower will certify that it has examined the portion of applicable preliminary and final private placement memorandum or preliminary, final and supplement or prospectus specified by Lender as pertaining to Borrower, the Loan, Guarantor, Borrower’s Affiliates, the Mortgaged Property and the Manager, and that each such designated portion, as it relates to Borrower, Guarantor, Borrower’s Affiliates, the Mortgaged Property, Manager and all
-90-
other aspects of the Loan, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Such agreement may, if requested by Lender, require Borrower to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Lender and other Persons designated by Lender from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the reviewed documents or other information or documents prepared by Borrower, Guarantor or their Affiliates and provided to Lender or in any representation or warranty of Borrower or Guarantor contained in the Loan Documents or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information not materially misleading.
SECTION 11
MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 Expenses and Attorneys’ Fees. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to promptly pay all fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, cost of appeal and the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of other professionals retained by Lender) incurred by Lender in connection with the following, and all such fees, costs and expenses shall be part of the Obligations, payable on ten (10) Business Days written notice: (A) the examination, review, due diligence investigation, documentation and closing of the financing arrangements evidenced by the Loan Documents; (B) the giving or withholding of any consents, approvals, or permissions, administration of the Loan, disbursements of the Loan and disbursements from the Accounts and in connection with any amendments, modifications and waivers relating to the Loan Documents requested by Borrower; (C) the review, documentation, negotiation and closing of any subordination or intercreditor agreements, Lease reviews, and subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreements; (D) Lender’s Representatives including Lender’s Construction Consultant; and (E) enforcement of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the collection of any payments due from Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan Documents or any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under the Loan Document, whether in the nature of a “workout” or in connection with any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise.
11.2 Certain Lender Matters. Lender may, in accordance with Lender’ customary practices, destroy or otherwise dispose of all documents, schedules, invoices or other papers, delivered by Borrower to Lender unless Borrower requests, at the time of delivery, in writing that same be returned. Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Mortgaged Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender. No provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty by Lender to Borrower or any other Person. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by Lender shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Lender and shall have no duty of loyalty, duty of care or any other duty to Borrower or any of Borrower’s partners, shareholders, members, managers,
-91-
Affiliates or any other Person. By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty or representation with respect hereto or thereto by Lender. Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any Parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender or their respective attorneys, advisors, accountants, officers, representatives, directors, employees, partners, shareholders, trustees, members or managers. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any Parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action, in either case, on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates. LENDER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY HEREUNDER FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES. In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Borrower or Guarantor, or their respective creditors or property, Lender, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lender allowed in such proceedings for the entire secured Obligations at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable by Borrower after such date. Lender shall have the right from time to time to designate, appoint and replace one or more servicers and to allow servicer to exercise any and all rights of Lender under the Loan Documents. All documents and other matters required by any of the provisions of this Agreement to be submitted or provided to Lender shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall not be entitled to (and does hereby waive any and all rights to receive) any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which the Loan Documents expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower. In any action or proceeding brought by Borrower against Lender claiming or based upon an allegation that Lender unreasonably withheld its consent to or approval of a proposed act by Borrower which requires Lender’s consent hereunder, Borrower’s sole and exclusive remedy in said action or proceeding shall be injunctive relief or specific performance requiring Lender to grant such consent or approval.
11.3 Indemnity. In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 11.1 and the indemnification obligations set forth in other portions of this Agreement, the Environmental Indemnification Agreement or the other Loan Documents, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to indemnify, pay, defend and hold Lender, its officers, directors, members, partners, shareholders, participants, beneficiaries, trustees, employees, agents, successors and assigns, any subsequent holder of the Note, any trustee, fiscal agent, servicer, underwriter and placement agent, (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all actual costs and expenses incurred by Indemnitees in connection with any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
-92-
judgments, causes of action, suits, claims, tax liabilities, broker’s or finders fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against that Indemnitee, based upon any third party claims against such Indemnitees in any manner related to or arising out of (A) any breach by Borrower or Guarantor of any representation, warranty, covenant, or other agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, (B) the actual or threatened presence, release, disposal, spill, escape, leakage, transportation, migration, seepage, discharge, removal, or cleanup of any Hazardous Material located on, about, within, under, affecting, from or onto the Mortgaged Property or any violation of any applicable Environmental Law by Borrower or the Mortgaged Property, or (C) the use or intended use of the proceeds of any of the Loan (the foregoing liabilities herein collectively referred to as the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that Borrower shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined in a final order by a court of competent jurisdiction. Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation under clause (B) of this Section 11.3 with respect to Hazardous Materials first introduced to the Land and Improvements after either (1) the foreclosure of the Mortgage or (2) the delivery by Borrower to, and acceptance by, Lender or its designee of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Mortgaged Property. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. If any such action or other proceeding shall be brought against Lender, upon written notice from Borrower to Lender (given reasonably promptly following Lender’s notice to Borrower of such action or proceeding), Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, at Borrower’s expense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender; provided, however, Lender may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense, but such participation shall not be deemed to give Lender a right to control such defense, which right Borrower expressly retains. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee shall, following notice to and consultation with Borrower, have the right to employ separate counsel at Borrower’s expense if, in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnitee and Borrower that would make such separate representation advisable. Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify an Indemnitee for damage or loss resulting from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event shall the indemnification contained herein include consequential or punitive damages resulting from any claims brought directly by Lender, however, to the extent the indemnification relates to environmental issues and to third party claims, such environmental related indemnification shall include consequential and punitive damages.
11.4 Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender (and, with respect to any amendment or modification, unless also signed by Borrower). Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it
-93-
was given. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower, or any other Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners or members and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Mortgaged Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Mortgage, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Mortgaged Property for the collection of the obligations without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the obligations owing Lender on account of the Loan Documents out of the net proceeds of the Mortgaged Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of any of any portion of the Mortgaged Property or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any combination of the Mortgaged Property before proceeding against any other portion; and further in the event of such foreclosure, Borrower expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim or defense of performance, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents. No failure or delay on the part of Lender or any holder of any Note in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under the Note or any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. Lender shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Person makes a payment or payments to Lender, or Lender enforces its remedies or exercise its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/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 recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, if any, rights and remedies therefore, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. Borrower agrees (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury or other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit or forgive Borrower from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Loan contemplated herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement; and Borrower (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the
-94-
execution of any power herein granted to the holders, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
11.5 Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given shall be in writing addressed to the respective party as set forth below and may be personally served, telecopied (with request for confirmation) or sent by overnight courier service or United States registered mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Any notice so given shall be deemed effective upon delivery or on refusal or failure of delivery during normal business hours. Notices shall be addressed to the parties at the addresses specified on Schedule 11.5 or to such other address as the party addressed shall have previously designated by written notice to the serving party, given in accordance with this Section 11.5.
11.6 Survival of Warranties and Certain Agreements. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of the Loan hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Notes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the provisions of Sections 2.6, 5.8, 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.12, 11.13 and 11.15 shall survive the payment of the Loan and the termination of this Agreement. Subject to this Section 11.6, all other representations, warranties and agreements of Borrower and Lender set forth in this Agreement shall terminate upon indefeasible payment in full of the Loan and the termination of this Agreement.
11.7 Miscellaneous.

11.12 Publicity. Lender (and Lender’s Affiliates) may, subject to the applicable limitations on distribution of Confidential Information set forth in this Section 11.12 and subject to the approval of Guarantor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and Borrower does hereby authorize Lender (and its Affiliates) to, refer, in its sole discretion, to the Loan in tombstone advertisements, offering memoranda in connection with Securitizations and reports to investors, which references, may include use of photographs, drawings and other depictions, images of the Land and Improvements (provided that such photographs, drawings and other depictions, and/or images shall not include floor plans of the area behind the barrier or other trade secrets), a description of the Loan, use of Borrower’s name, the address of the Mortgaged Property and the logo of Borrower and/or Guarantor. Borrower shall cause the owner of such “logo” rights to consent to such use upon request from Lender at the Closing. Lender hereby agrees that (i) any written information, data, documents, etc. delivered in connection with the making of the Loan which has been expressly designated as such by notice to Lender from Borrower, (ii) any information contained in the books and records of Borrower or Guarantor which is either confidential, proprietary, or otherwise not generally available to the public (but excluding information Lender has obtained independently from third-party sources without Lender’s knowledge that the source has violated any fiduciary or other duty not to disclose such information) and which has been expressly designated as such by notice to Lender from Borrower, (iii) any financial statements of Borrower provided pursuant to this Agreement which are not publicly available and which has been expressly designated as confidential by notice to
-97-
Lender from Borrower, and (iv) any other information, data, documents, etc. which are delivered to or received by Lender and which are conspicuously stamped or marked “CONFIDENTIAL”, or, if delivered or received pursuant to an oral communication, such communication is subsequently referred to in a writing memorializing such communication delivered to Lender within thirty (30) days of such communication and marked as “CONFIDENTIAL” (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), will be kept confidential by Lender, using the same standard of care in safeguarding the Confidential Information as Lender employs in protecting its own proprietary information which Lender desires not to disseminate or publish. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information may be disseminated (a) pursuant to the requirements of applicable law, (b) pursuant to judicial process, administrative agency process or order of Governmental Authority, (c) in connection with litigation, arbitration proceedings or administrative proceedings before or by any Governmental Authority or stock exchange, (d) to Lender’s attorneys, accountants, advisors and actual or prospective financing sources who will be instructed to comply with this Section 11.12, (e) to the Rating Agencies, (f) to actual or prospective trustees, assignees, pledgees, participants, agents, servicers, or securities holders in a Securitization, and (g) pursuant to the requirements or rales of a stock exchange or stock trading system on which the Securities of Lender or its Affiliates may be listed or traded. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision, any party (and its employee, representative or other agent) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, if required by applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Borrower or Guarantor conspicuously marks specific information, data, documents, etc. or with respect to an oral communication, in a subsequent writing memorializing such communication delivered to Lender within thirty (30) days of such communication marked as, “CONFIDENTIAL: FOR LENDER’S INTERNAL USE ONLY; NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION,” then Lender may only disseminate such information, data, documents, etc. pursuant to the requirements of applicable law (including pursuant to an order of a Governmental Authority) or pursuant to the written consent of Borrower or Guarantor.
11.13 Recourse Loan. Borrower shall have full personal recourse liability for the Obligations incurred under this Agreement, this Note or any of the other Loan Documents. Such liability shall not be imputed to any member, officer, director, employee of Borrower solely by virtue of such relationship to Borrower; provided, however, that such qualification shall not affect Guarantor’s liability under the Guaranty and shall not impute liability to any member, officer, director, employee of Guarantor.
11.14 Performance by Lender/Attorney-in-Fact. In the event that Borrower shall at any time fail to duly and punctually pay, perform, observe or comply with any of its covenants and agreements hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or if any Event of Default hereunder shall exist, then Lender may (but shall in no event be required to) make any such payment or
-98-
perform any such term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement or cure any such Event of Default. Lender shall not take action under this Section 11.14 prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default unless in Lender’s good faith judgment reasonably exercised, such action is necessary or appropriate in order to preserve the value of the Collateral, to protect Persons or property, or Borrower has abandoned the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof. Lender shall not be obligated to continue any such action having commenced the same and may cease the same without notice to Borrower. Any amounts expended by Lender in connection with such action shall constitute additional advances hereunder, the payment of which is additional Indebtedness, secured by the Loan Documents and shall become due and payable within ten (10) days of demand by Lender, with interest at the Default Rate from the date of disbursement thereof until fully paid. No further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary for such disbursements. The execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall and hereby does constitute an irrevocable direction and authorization to Lender to so disburse such funds. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender, as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with full authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or otherwise (A) during the existence of an Event of Default in the discretion of Lender, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Lender may deem necessary to accomplish the purpose of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including the following: (i) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for monies due and to become due under or in respect of the Accounts and/or any of the Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral; (ii) to receive, endorse, and collect (x) any Gross Revenues, (y) any instruments made payable to any Borrower representing any dividend, payment of principal, interest, redemption price, purchase price or other distribution or payment in respect of any Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral, or (z) any other instruments, documents and chattel paper received in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (iii) to file any claims, or take any action or institute any proceedings which Lender shall deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any Gross Revenues in the event Borrower shall fail to do so, or to otherwise enforce the rights of Lender with respect to this Agreement; (B) to execute and/or file, without the signature of Borrower any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, continuation statements, or other filing, and any amendment thereof, relating to the Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral; (C) to give notice to any third parties which may be required to perfect Lender’s security interest in the Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral; and (D) during the existence of an Event of Default, to register, purchase, sell, assign, transfer, pledge or take any other action with respect to any Reserve and Other Accounts Collateral in accordance with this Agreement or any Loan Document.
