(b) Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue at the Interest Rate calculated on an Actual/360 Basis. Borrower acknowledges that interest calculated on an Actual/360 Basis exceeds interest calculated on a 30/360 Basis.
(c) Determination of Interest Rate.
(i) The Interest Rate with respect to the Loan shall be: (A) the LIBOR Rate with respect to the applicable Interest Accrual Period for a LIBOR Loan or (B) the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread for a Prime Rate Loan if the Loan is converted to a Prime Rate Loan pursuant to the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a LIBOR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan.
(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Loan shall be a LIBOR Loan and Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan at the LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Accrual Period. Any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Interest Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on which such change in the Interest Rate shall become effective. Each determination by Lender of the Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
21
(iii) In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Accrual Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Accrual Period, to a Prime Rate Loan.
(iv) If, pursuant to the terms hereof, any portion of the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Accrual Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding Prime Rate Loan shall be converted to a LIBOR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Accrual Period.
(v) [Intentionally omitted].
(vi) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder (A) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (B) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Accrual Period or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees to promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(vii) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(A) | shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder; |
(B) | shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or |
22
(C) | shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder; |
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as reasonably determined by Lender, provided that, such demand by Lender shall apply to all loans similarly affected by such change. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days’ notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(viii) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (A) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (B) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Accrual Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder and (C) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Interest Rate from the LIBOR Rate to the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate on a date other than the last day of an Interest Accrual Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (A), (B) and (C) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, provided Borrower makes any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on the last day of an Interest Accrual Period, or if such date is not the last day of an Interest Accrual Period but such prepayment includes the payment of Interest Shortfall, then no Breakage Costs shall be due and payable in connection with such prepayment.
23
(ix) Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this subsection for any increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this subsection, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.
(x) Lender will use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan and to avoid or reduce any increased or additional costs payable by Borrower under this subsection, including, if requested by Borrower, a transfer or assignment of the Loan to a branch, office or affiliate of Lender in another jurisdiction, or a redesignation of its lending office with respect to the Loan, in order to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan or to avoid or reduce such increased or additional costs, provided that the transfer or assignment or redesignation (A) would not result in any additional costs, expenses or risk to Lender that are not reimbursed by Borrower and (B) would not be disadvantageous in any other respect to Lender as determined by Lender in its sole discretion.
(d) Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, overdue interest in respect of the Loan, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
(e) Usury Savings. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use or forbearance of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
24
Section 2.6 Loan Payments.
(a) Payment Before Maturity. Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only on the Closing Date for the period from the Closing Date through the last day of the month in which the Closing Date occurs (unless the Closing Date is the first day of a calendar month, in which case no such separate payment of interest shall be due). Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Monthly Payment Date the Monthly Payment Amount.
(b) Payment on Maturity. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.
(c) Late Payment Charge.

Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

(iii) All payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto.
Section 2.7 Prepayments.

Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may, at its option and upon prior notice to Lender as set forth herein, prepay the Debt in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may not voluntarily partially prepay the Loan more than one (1) time in any calendar year and Borrower shall obtain Lender’s consent for any additional voluntarily partial prepayment of the Loan in any calendar year, which consent shall be given in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. Any partial prepayment shall be applied to the Loan in such order and priority as may be determined by Lender in its sole discretion. Any prepayment received by Lender on a date other than the last day of any Interest Accrual Period shall include interest which would have accrued from
25
such date of prepayment through and including the last day of the Interest Accrual Period during which such prepayment is being made (such amounts, the “Interest Shortfall”). Additionally, Borrower shall pay the Exit Fee, any Interest Rate Protection Breakage Costs and any Breakage Costs (provided that the same are not duplicative of any Interest Shortfall paid in connection with such prepayment) in connection with any prepayment of the Loan. As a condition to any voluntary prepayment, Borrower shall give Lender written notice (a “Prepayment Notice”) of its intent to prepay, which notice must be given at least thirty (30) and not more than ninety (90) days prior to the Business Day upon which prepayment is to be made and must specify the Business Day on which such prepayment is to be made. Borrower hereby agrees that, in the event Borrower delivers a Prepayment Notice and fails to prepay the Loan in accordance with the Prepayment Notice and the terms of this Section 2.7 (a “Prepayment Failure”), Borrower shall indemnify Lender from and against, and shall be responsible for, all Losses (including any consequential damages) incurred by Lender with respect to any such Prepayment Failure.
(b) Mandatory Prepayments. On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Proceeds, and if such Net Proceeds are not made available to Borrower for Restoration, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds together with any applicable Interest Rate Protection Breakage Costs and any Breakage Costs, and such prepayment shall be applied to the Debt in accordance with Section 7.4(c) hereof.

In furtherance of the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall have no obligation to accept any payment of the Loan unless and until Borrower shall have also paid the Exit Fee, and Lender shall have no obligation to release any Loan Document upon payment of the Debt unless and until Lender shall have received the entire Exit Fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, the Exit Fee shall not be payable with respect to any Principal Payment included in a Monthly Payment Amount, any reduction of the principal amount of the Loan as a result of the application of any Net Proceeds, the release of the Hotel Indigo in accordance with Section 2.10 or the cure of a Cash Trap Event Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment of the Exit Fee shall be waived during the twelve month period prior to the Initial Maturity Date in the event Borrower refinances the Loan with a new permanent loan from Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. (which may be provided by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., in its sole discretion).

the term of the Loan and (iv) shall have an initial notional amount equal to the principal balance of the Loan. Borrower shall direct such Counterparty to deposit directly into the Deposit Account] [an account as designated by Lender any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Protection Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt exists, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to exist if the Property is transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof. Additionally, Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Protection Agreement, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Protection Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the Deposit Account.

Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.
(c) If at any time (i) Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. or any of its affiliates is not “Lender” under the Loan, or (ii) Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. or any of its affiliates is not the Counterparty, then, in the event there is any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the long-term unsecured debt rating of the Counterparty below an “A” by S&P or below an “A2” by Xxxxx’x, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Protection Agreement with a new Interest Rate Protection Agreement with a Counterparty acceptable to Lender (a “Replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement”), not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from Lender of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification (together with a collateral assignment of such Replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement in substantially the same form as the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Protection Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Counterparty is Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. or any of its affiliates and neither Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. nor any of its affiliates is the Lender, such Replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement is only required to be delivered in the event there is any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the long-term unsecured debt rating of the Counterparty below an “A” by S&P and below an “A2” by Xxxxx’x. In furtherance of the foregoing, if Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. and/or any of its affiliates are both Lender and Counterparty, then no Replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be required.
(d) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Protection Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Protection Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Protection Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.
27

The indemnity by Borrower provided for in this Section 2.11(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally imposed or asserted. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Amounts payable by Borrower under the indemnity set forth in this Section 2.11(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which the applicable Lender, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor.
31
(d) Lender shall take all reasonable actions (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) requested by Borrower to assist Borrower, as the case may be, at the sole expense of Borrower, to recover from the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority any Section 2.11 Taxes in respect of which amounts were paid by Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.11(a), (b) or (c) hereof. However, Lender will not be required to take any action that would be, in the sole judgment of Lender, legally inadvisable, or commercially or otherwise disadvantageous to Lender in any respect, and in no event shall Lender be required to disclose any tax returns or any other information that, in the sole judgment of Lender is confidential or proprietary.
(e) As soon as practicable but in no event no later than thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Section 2.11 Taxes, Borrower (or any Person making such payment on behalf of Borrower) shall furnish to Lender for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof. In the case of any payment under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by or on behalf of Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States, or on behalf of Borrower by a payor that is not a United States Person, if Borrower determines that no Section 2.11 Taxes are payable in respect thereof, Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to Lender an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender stating that such payment is exempt from Section 2.11 Taxes. For purposes of this Section 2.11(e) and Section 2.11(f) hereof, the terms “United States” and “United States Person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.
(f) (i) Any Lender (including, for avoidance of doubt any participant, assignee or successor) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver or caused to be delivered to Borrower and such other applicable lenders at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or such other applicable lenders, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or such other applicable lenders as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.11(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if, in the Lender’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a “U.S. Person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the IRS Code),
(A) | any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and any other applicable lenders, upon the reasonable request of Borrower or such other applicable lenders, executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; |
32
(B) | any Lender that is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and any other applicable lenders on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the other applicable lenders), whichever of the following is applicable: |
(1) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRS Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRS Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRS Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRS Code (a “Section 2.11 Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or
(4) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, a Section 2.11 Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a Section 2.11 Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) | any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and any other applicable lenders (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or such other applicable lenders), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit Borrower or such other applicable lenders to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and |
33
(D) | if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRS Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and other applicable lenders at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or other applicable lenders such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRS Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or other applicable lenders as may be necessary for Borrower and other applicable lenders to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. |
(iii) If the forms and documentation referred to above in this Section 2.11(f) that are provided by a Non-U.S. Lender at the time such Non-U.S. Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as “Excluded Taxes” (i.e., any Section 2.11 Taxes other than Non-Excluded Taxes) and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until Lender provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form. However, if, on the date of the assignment and assumption of the Loan (or portion thereof) pursuant to which a Lender assignee becomes a party to this Agreement, Lender assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) of this Section 2.11 in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent (and only to such extent), the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Section 2.11 Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to such Lender assignee on such date. Any additional Section 2.11 Taxes in respect of Lender that result solely and directly from a change in the Applicable Lending Office of Lender shall be treated as Excluded Taxes (and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes) unless (A) any such additional Section 2.11 Taxes are imposed as a result of a change in any Applicable Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date of such change or (B) such change is made pursuant to the terms of Section 2.11(d) or Section 2.11(i) hereof or otherwise as a result of a request therefor by Borrower.
34
(g) For any period with respect to which Lender has failed to provide Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (f) of this Section 2.11 (other than (i) if such failure is due to a change in any Applicable Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided, (ii) if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is not required under Sections 2.11(a) and (c) hereof, or (iii) if it is legally inadvisable or otherwise commercially disadvantageous for Lender to deliver such form, certificate or other document), Lender shall not be entitled to payment or indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 2.11 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should Lender become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, Borrower shall take such steps as Lender shall reasonably request to assist Lender in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.
(h) Lender hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence of any circumstances entitling Lender to additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11, Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions), at the sole expense of Borrower, to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or materially reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not be, in the sole judgment of Lender, legally inadvisable or commercially or otherwise disadvantageous to Lender in any respect.
(i) If Lender is entitled to additional compensation under any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.11 but shall fail to designate a different Applicable Lending Office as provided in subsection (h) of this Section 2.11, then, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower may cause Lender to (and, if Borrower so demands, Lender shall) assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more other Persons identified by Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Lender; provided that if, upon such demand by Borrower, Lender elects to waive its request for additional compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11, the demand by Borrower for Lender to so assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall thereupon be deemed withdrawn. Nothing in subsection (h) of this Section 2.11 or this Section 2.11(i) shall affect or postpone any of the rights of Lender or any of the Obligations of Borrower under any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.11 in any manner.
(j) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and payment of any obligations thereunder.

Borrower shall not, and shall not permit Operating Tenant to, initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Property or any part thereof.

Within ten (10) days after the execution of a Lease or any renewals, or material amendments or modification of a Lease, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy thereof, together with Borrower’s certification that such Lease (or such renewal, amendment or modification) was entered into in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Any Lease and any renewals, amendments or modification of a Lease (provided such Lease or Lease renewal, amendment or modification is not a Major Lease (or a renewal, amendment or modification to a Major Lease)) that meets the following requirements may be entered into by Borrower without Lender’s prior consent: such Lease (i) provides for rental rates comparable to existing local market rates for similar properties and is otherwise on commercially reasonable terms, (ii) unless a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement is delivered pursuant to this Section 4.14, provides that such Lease is subordinate to the Security Instrument and that the lessee will attorn to Lender and any purchaser at a foreclosure sale, (iii) is written substantially in accordance with the standard form of Lease which shall have been approved by Lender (subject to any commercially-reasonable changes made in the course of negotiations with the applicable Tenant), (iv) is not with an Affiliate of Borrower or any Guarantor, and (v) does not contain any option to purchase, any right of first refusal to purchase, any right to terminate (except in the event of the destruction or condemnation of substantially all of the Property) or any other terms which would cause a Material Adverse Effect. All other Leases (including Major Leases) and all renewals, amendments and modifications thereof (including, without limitation, any subletting or assignment thereunder not contemplated by the express terms of such Lease (other than any subletting or assignment which does not require Borrower’s consent under such Lease)) or waivers thereunder executed (or otherwise agreed to) after the date hereof shall be subject to Lender’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
51
(c) Lender shall execute and deliver a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement on Lender’s then current standard form to Tenants under future Major Leases approved by Lender promptly upon request with such commercially reasonable changes as may be requested by Tenants, from time to time, as are reasonably acceptable to Lender. Lender’s execution of a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement which is not in compliance with the foregoing sentence shall be at Lender’s sole discretion and subject to such additional conditions as Lender shall reasonably determine.
(d) Borrower (i) shall, or shall cause Operating Tenant to, observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in all material respects in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) shall, or shall cause Operating Tenant to, enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner, provided, however, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit Operating Tenant to, terminate or accept a surrender of a Major Lease without Lender’s prior approval; (iii) shall not, and shall not permit Operating Tenant to, collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not, and shall not permit Operating Tenant to, execute any assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (v) shall not, and shall not permit Operating Tenant to, without Lender’s consent, alter, modify or change any Major Lease so as to change the amount of or payment date for rent, change the expiration date, grant any option for additional space or term, materially reduce the obligations of the lessee or increase the obligations of lessor; and (vi) shall, or shall cause Operating Tenant to, hold all security deposits under all Leases in accordance with Applicable Law.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not willfully withhold from Lender any information regarding renewal, extension, amendment, modification, waiver of provisions of, termination, rental reduction of, surrender of space of, or shortening of the term of, any Lease during the term of the Loan. Borrower’s delivery of the certified rent roll required pursuant to Section 4.12 hereof shall not, in and of itself, satisfy the requirements of this clause (e).
(f) Borrower shall notify Lender in writing, within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof, of Borrower’s or Operating Tenant’s receipt of any termination fee or payment (“Lease Event Payment”) paid by any Tenant under any Lease in consideration of any termination, modification or amendment or settlement of any Lease or any release or discharge of any Tenant under any Lease from any obligation thereunder (a “Lease Event”).

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent Lender’s prior approval is required for any leasing matters set forth in this Section 4.14, Lender shall have ten (10) Business Days from receipt of written request and all required information and documentation relating thereto in which to approve or disapprove such matter, provided that such request to Lender is marked in bold lettering with the following language: “LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A LOAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND LENDER,” and the envelope containing the request must be marked “PRIORITY.” In the event that Lender fails to respond to the leasing matter in question within such time, Lender’s approval shall be deemed given for all purposes. Borrower shall provide Lender with such information and documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender, including, without limitation, lease comparables and other market information as reasonably required by Lender. For purposes of clarification, Lender requesting additional and/or clarified information, in addition to approving or denying any request (in whole or in part), shall be deemed a response by Lender for purposes of the foregoing.
Section 4.15 Management Agreement.
(a) Borrower shall cause Operating Tenant to (i) diligently perform, observe and enforce all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Operating Tenant to be performed, observed and enforced to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of Operating Tenant under the Management Agreement and (ii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice to Borrower or Operating Tenant of any default by Operating Tenant in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Operating Tenant to be performed and observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice. Without Lender’s prior written consent, Borrower shall not permit Operating Tenant to surrender the Management Agreement, consent to the assignment by Manager of its interest under the Management Agreement, or terminate or cancel the Management Agreement or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Management Agreement, in any material respect, either orally or in writing, and any such surrender of the Management Agreement or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Management Agreement without the prior consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect.
(b) If Operating Tenant shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Management Agreement on the part of Operating Tenant to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Operating Tenant to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Operating Tenant, to the end that the rights of Operating Tenant in, to and under the Management Agreement shall be kept
53
unimpaired and free from default. Lender and any person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If Manager shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to Borrower or Operating Tenant of default under the Management Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon.
(c) Borrower shall notify Lender if Manager sub-contracts to a third party or an affiliate any or all of its management responsibilities under the Management Agreement. Borrower shall, or cause Operating Tenant to, from time to time, use its best efforts to obtain from Manager under the Management Agreement such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Operating Tenant with the terms of the Management Agreement as may be requested by Lender. Borrower shall exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of the Management Agreement upon demand by Lender made at any time within one (1) year of the last day upon which any such option may be exercised. Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
(d) Without limitation of the foregoing, if the Management Agreement is terminated pursuant to the Assignment of Management Agreement or for any other reason, then Lender, at its option, may require Borrower to cause Operating Tenant to engage, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Assignment of Management Agreement, a new manager (the “New Manager”) to manage the Property, which such New Manager shall be a Qualified Manager. New Manager shall be engaged by Operating Tenant pursuant to a written management agreement that complies with the terms hereof and of the Assignment of Management Agreement and is otherwise satisfactory to Lender in all respects. New Manager, Operating Tenant and Borrower shall execute an Assignment of Management Agreement in the form then used by Lender.

(b) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower or Operating Tenant, as applicable, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Work Charge, the applicability of any Work Charge to Borrower, Operating Tenant or to the Property or any alleged non-payment of any Work Charge and defer paying the same, provided that (i) no Event
54

Lender may apply any such security or part thereof, as necessary to pay for such Work Charge at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or non-payment of such Work Charge is finally established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in present danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.

(iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements and only if the current property and liability coverage forms do not otherwise apply (A) commercial general liability and umbrella liability insurance covering claims related to the construction, repairs or alterations being made at the Property which are not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the commercial general liability and umbrella liability insurance policies required herein; and (B) the insurance provided for in Subsection 7.1(a)(i) written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to Subsections 7.1(a)(i), (iv) and (vi) through (viii), as applicable, (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) written on a no coinsurance form or containing an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant to Subsection 7.1(a), Borrower shall deliver carrier-issued binders and certificates of the renewal Policies, and thereafter, complete copies of the Policies when issued. Upon renewal of the Policies, Borrower shall deliver evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”).
(c) Except to the extent required pursuant to Section 7.1(a) hereof, Borrower shall not obtain (or permit to be obtained) (i) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, such Policy is approved in advance in writing by Lender and Lender’s interest is included therein as provided in this Agreement and such Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer, or (ii) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Subsection 7.1(a) to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, Borrower.

(ii) with respect to the Policies limited to liability protection, if available to Borrower using commercially reasonable efforts, such Policies shall not be cancelled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium; provided, however, if the issuer will not or cannot provide such endorsements or the notices required in this clause (ii), Borrower shall be obligated to provide such notices;

(iv) each Policy shall provide that (A) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed ten (10) days prior to its expiration and (B) Lender is permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such Policy upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of Insurance Premiums; and
70

(g) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

71
Insurance Program Authorization Act of 2015 (as the same may be further modified, amended, or extended, “TRIPRA”) (i) remains in full force and effect and (ii) continues to cover both foreign and domestic acts of terror, the provisions of TRIPRA shall determine what is deemed to be included within this definition of “Terrorism Coverage.”

Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 7.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
Section 7.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:

(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” as used in this Section 7.4(b) shall mean an amount equal to 10% of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until such time as the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that Net Proceeds representing 50% of the required Restoration have been disbursed. There shall be no Restoration Retainage with respect to costs actually incurred by Borrower for work in place in completing the last 50% of the required Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 7.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage, provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, and the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company insuring the lien of the Security Instrument. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
75
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 7.4(b)(vii) shall be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper. If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the lien of the Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt.

Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds and the Accounts shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 8.6 are intended to give Lender and/or Servicer “control” of the Reserve Funds and the Accounts within the meaning of the UCC.

Lender shall have the right to file a financing statement or statements under the UCC in connection with any of the Reserve Funds and/or the Accounts, with respect thereto in the form required to properly perfect Lender’s security interest therein. Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Reserve Funds and/or the Accounts.

(e) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(g) above with respect to Borrower and SPE Component Entity only) and at any time thereafter Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity. Upon any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(g) above (with respect to Borrower and SPE Component Entity only), the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding.
84
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by Applicable Law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Security Instrument as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instrument and not previously recovered.
(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, security instruments and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s
85
intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(e) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.

Lender agrees that, in such event, it shall cooperate in expediting any action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale under the Security Instrument of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein. Further, Borrower hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of the Security Instrument on behalf of Borrower, and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property subsequent to the date of the Security Instrument and on behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 17.12 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. Wherever the phrase “during the continuance of an Event of Default” or the like appears herein or in any other Loan Document, such phrase shall not mean or imply that Lender has any obligation to accept a cure of such Event of Default. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies.

The failure of any party hereto to execute this Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder.
Section 17.16 Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization.
(a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Individual Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Individual Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property taken separately. Borrower agrees that each of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Security Instruments) are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any
102
of Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Loan Documents; (ii) an Event of Default hereunder shall constitute an Event of Default under each Security Instrument; (iii) each Security Instrument shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Individual Properties as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance and Borrower waives any claims related thereto.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Individual Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Security Instruments, 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 Properties for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Security Instruments, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Individual Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property or any combination of the Individual Properties before proceeding against any other Individual Property or combination of Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Individual Properties.
Section 17.17 Contribution.
(a) As a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Borrower will benefit, directly and indirectly, from Borrower’s obligation to pay the Debt and perform its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Obligations”) and in consideration therefore Borrower desires to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section 17.17 to allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make contributions among each of Borrowers in the event any payment is made by any individual Borrower hereunder to Lender (such payment being referred to herein as a “Contribution,” and for purposes of this Section 17.17, includes any exercise of recourse by Lender against any Individual Property of a Borrower and application of proceeds of such Individual Property in satisfaction of such Borrower’s obligations, to Lender under the Loan Documents).
(b) Borrower shall be liable hereunder with respect to the Obligations only for such total maximum amount (if any) that would not render its Obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any State law.
103
(c) In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among Borrowers in the event that any Contribution is made by an individual Borrower (a “Funding Borrower”), such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement contribution (“Reimbursement Contribution”) from all other Borrowers for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Borrower in discharging any of the Obligations, in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section 17.17.
(d) For purposes hereof, the “Benefit Amount” of any individual Borrower as of any date of determination shall be the net value of the benefits to such Borrower and its affiliates from extensions of credit made by Lender to (i) such Borrower and (ii) to the other Borrowers hereunder and the Loan Documents to the extent such other Borrowers have guaranteed or mortgaged their property to secure the Obligations of such Borrower to Lender.
(e) Borrower shall be liable to a Funding Borrower in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the (A) ratio of the Benefit Amount of such Borrower to the total amount of Obligations, multiplied by (B) the amount of Obligations paid by such Funding Borrower, or (ii) ninety-five percent (95%) of the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Borrower over the total liabilities of such Borrower (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a Funding Borrower is deemed made for purposes hereof (giving effect to all payments made by other Funding Borrowers as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such Contributions).
(f) In the event that at any time there exists more than one Funding Borrower with respect to any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then Reimbursement Contributions from other Borrowers pursuant hereto shall be allocated among such Funding Borrowers in proportion to the total amount of the Contribution made for or on account of the other Borrowers by each such Funding Borrower pursuant to the Applicable Contribution. In the event that at any time any Borrower pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this Section 17.17 above, that Borrower shall be deemed to be a Funding Borrower to the extent of such excess and shall be entitled to a Reimbursement Contribution from the other Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this Section.
(g) Borrower acknowledges that the right to Reimbursement Contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of Borrower to which such Reimbursement Contribution is owing.
(h) No Reimbursement Contribution payments payable by a Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Section 17.17 shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by all of Borrowers to Lender, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, are paid in full in cash. Nothing contained in this Section 17.17 shall limit or affect in any way the Obligations of any Borrower to Lender under the Note or any other Loan Documents.
(i) Borrower waives:
(A) | any right to require Lender to proceed against any other Borrower or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lender at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power before proceeding against Borrower; |
104
(B) | any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other Borrower, any guarantor of any other person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other Borrower or any guarantor from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Note, this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents; |
(C) | any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower; |
(D) | any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal; |
(E) | any defense based upon any failure by Lender to obtain collateral for the indebtedness or failure by Lender to perfect a lien on any collateral; |
(F) | presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind; |
(G) | any defense based upon any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition of any collateral to any other Borrower or to any other person or entity or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of any collateral; |
(H) | any defense based upon any failure of Lender to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral, including any failure of Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral; |
(I) | any defense based upon any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; |
(J) | any defense based upon any agreement or stipulation entered into by Lender with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding; |
(K) | any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; |
(L) | any defense based upon the avoidance of any security interest in favor of Lender for any reason; |
(M) | any defense based upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations evidenced by the Note or owing under any of the Loan Documents; |
105
(N) | any defense or benefit based upon Borrower’s, or any other party’s, resignation of the portion of any obligation secured by the Security Instrument to be satisfied by any payment from any other Borrower or any such party; |
(O) | all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even though the election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Loan or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, has destroyed Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Borrower; |
(P) | all rights and defenses that Borrower may have because any of Debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things: (1) Lender may collect from Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other Borrower, (2) if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any other Borrower, (I) the amount of the Debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, (II) Lender may collect from Borrower even if any other Borrower, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Borrower may have to collect from any other Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by real property; and |
(Q) | except as may be expressly and specifically permitted herein, any claim or other right which Borrower might now have or hereafter acquire against any other Borrower or any other person that arises from the existence or performance of any obligations under the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, including any of the following: (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification; or (ii) any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against any other Borrower or any collateral security therefor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law. |
