If any Lender, other than a REMIC Trust, requests compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(d) (any such Lender, other than a REMIC Trust, requesting such compensation, or whose obligations are so suspended, being herein called a “Requesting Lender”), Borrower, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice, may require that such Requesting Lender transfer all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement and such Requesting Lender’s Note to an Eligible Assignee (a “Proposed Lender”) identified by Borrower that is satisfactory to the Note B Designated Representative, (i) if such Proposed Lender agrees to assume all of the obligations of such Requesting Lender hereunder in accordance with Section 11.27, and to purchase all of such Requesting Lender’s Loans hereunder for consideration equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Requesting Lender’s Loans, together with interest thereon to the date of such purchase (to the extent not paid by Borrower), and satisfactory arrangements are made for payment to such Requesting Lender of all other amounts accrued and payable hereunder to such Requesting Lender as of the date of such transfer (including any fees accrued hereunder as if all of such Requesting Lender’s Loans were being prepaid in full on such date) and (ii) if such Requesting Lender has requested compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(d), such Proposed Lender’s aggregate requested compensation, if any, pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(d) with respect to such Requesting Lender’s Loans is lower than that of the Requesting Lender. Upon the assignment and assumption of such Requesting Lender’s interest pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.27, such Proposed Lender shall be a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements of Borrower contained in this Section 2.2.3(d) and any other provisions of this Agreement with respect to payment of expenses (without duplication of any payments made to such Requesting Lender by Borrower or the Proposed Lender) shall survive for the benefit of such Requesting Lender under this Section 2.2.3(d) with respect to the time prior to such replacement.
(e) 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, (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan shall be cancelled forthwith and (ii) Lender may give Borrower a Lender’s Notice, establishing the Applicable Interest Rate at the Substitute Rate plus the Substitute Spread, in which case the Applicable Interest Rate shall be a rate equal to the Substitute Rate in effect from time to time plus the Substitute Spread. In the event the condition necessitating the cancellation of Lender’s obligation to make a LIBOR Loan hereunder shall cease, Lender shall promptly notify Borrower of such cessation and the Loan shall resume its characteristics as a LIBOR Loan in accordance with the terms herein from and after the first day of the calendar month next following such cessation. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any out-of-pocket costs
33
reasonably 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 set forth in reasonable detail and Lender’s calculation shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(f) 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:
(i) 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;
(ii) shall hereafter impose, modify, increase 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 the rate hereunder; or
(iii) 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. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(f), Borrower shall not be required to pay same unless they are the result of requirements imposed generally on lenders as foreign banks or trustee in a Securitization similar to Lender and not the result of some specific reserve or similar requirement imposed on Lender as a result of Lender’s special circumstances. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(f), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amounts required to fully compensate Lender for such additional costs or reduced amounts. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence, executed by an authorized signatory of Lender and submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Notes and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(g) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense (other than consequential and punitive damages) which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or
34
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, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that (A) is not the Monthly Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (B) is the Monthly Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, 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, (iii) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Applicable Interest Rate to the Substitute Rate plus the Substitute Spread with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at a rate other than the Substitute Rate plus the Substitute Spread on a date other than the Monthly Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest 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 or (iv) any failure of Borrower to borrower a Future Advance on the date specified in the relevant Advance Request (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”). Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (I) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount not so paid, or so prepaid or converted, or not so borrowed for the period from the date of such required payment, prepayment, or conversion or failure to borrow to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such principal amount (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Future Advance that would have commenced on the date specified for such borrowing) at the applicable rate of interest for such LIBOR Loan or Future Advance provided for herein over (II) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on such principal amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest component of the amount such Lender would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar deposits of leading banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by such Lender), or if such Lender shall cease to make such bids, the equivalent rate, as reasonably determined by such Lender, derived from Page 3750 of the Dow Xxxxx Markets (Telerate) Service or other publicly available source as described in the definition of LIBOR.
(h) The provisions of this Section 2.2.3 shall survive payment of the Notes in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.2.4 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 Applicable 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
35
on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention 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.
Section 2.3. Loan Payments.
2.3.1 Payment Before Maturity Date. Monthly installments of interest only shall be paid on each Monthly Payment Date commencing on November 9, 2007 and on each subsequent Monthly Payment Date thereafter to the Maturity Date for the Interest Period immediately prior to the date on which such Monthly Payment Date or Maturity Date occurs. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan for the period through and including October 8, 2007 shall be paid by Borrower on the Closing Date.
2.3.2 Payment on Maturity Date.
(a) The outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, without limitation, all interest that would accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan through the end of the Interest Period immediately prior to the date on which the Maturity Date occurs) and all other amounts outstanding hereunder and under the Notes, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable, and Borrower shall pay all such sums to Lender, on the Maturity Date.
(b) Borrower shall not have any option to extend the Maturity Date of the Loan.
2.3.3 Interest Rate and Payment after Default. 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 shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date the Default occurred which led to such an Event of Default without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. If all or any part of the principal amount of the Loan is repaid upon acceleration of the Loan following the occurrence of an Event of Default prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date, Borrower shall be required to pay to Lender, in addition to all other amounts then payable hereunder, a prepayment fee equal to one percent (1%) of the amount of principal being repaid together with a Spread Maintenance Premium calculated with respect to the amount of principal being repaid and Breakage Costs.
2.3.4 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents, other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or (b) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
36
2.3.5 Method and Place of Payment.
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made to Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office at 1114 Avenue of the Xxxxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, or at such other place as Lender may from time to time designate in writing, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
(b) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.
(c) All payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Notes 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.
2.3.6 Change in Payment Date. Prior to a Securitization, Lender may in its sole discretion, by notice to Borrower, change the day of the month that will constitute the Monthly Payment Date, as set forth in the definition of “Monthly Payment Date.”
Section 2.4. Prepayments.
2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part. On and after the Permitted Prepayment Date Borrower may, at its option and upon at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as permitted by Lender in its discretion) prior notice to Lender (which notice shall be irrevocable) specifying the date on which such prepayment is to be made (the “Prepayment Date”), prepay the Debt in whole or not in part (but if prepayment is made in part, such prepayment shall be in increments of $1,000,000); provided, however, that no prepayment shall be permitted on any date during the period commencing on the first calendar day immediately following a Monthly Payment Date to, but not including, the Determination Date in such calendar month (the “Lockout Period”), unless consented to by Lender in its sole discretion. Borrower shall pay to Lender, simultaneously with such prepayment:
(a) if such prepayment is made on a Monthly Payment Date, all accrued and unpaid interest calculated at the Applicable Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the end of the Interest Period immediately prior to the date on which such prepayment occurs;
(b) if such prepayment is made on a day other than a Monthly Payment Date (subject to the Lockout Period), all accrued and unpaid interest calculated at the Applicable Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the end of the Interest Period immediately prior to the date on which such prepayment occurs; provided, however, that if the Prepayment Date is a date on or after the Determination Date in such calendar month and prior to the first day of the Interest Period that commences in such calendar month, Borrower shall also pay to Lender in connection with such prepayment all interest on the
37
principal amount being prepaid which would have accrued through the end of the next succeeding Interest Period (the “Interest Shortfall”). Any prepayment received by Lender on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan and shall be applied to the Debt on the next Monthly Payment Date;
(c) Breakage Costs, if any, without duplication of any sums paid pursuant to the preceding clauses (a) and (b); and
(d) [reserved]
(e) all other sums then due under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents.
If a notice of prepayment is given by Borrower to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.1, the amount designated for prepayment and all other sums required under this Section 2.4.1 shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date. If Borrower prepays the Loan in full, the obligation of the Note B-2 Lender to make any Future Advance shall be of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) Borrower shall have the right (in each case by notice to the Lender not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the scheduled date of prepayment) to postpone the date of prepayment specified in its prepayment notice on one or more occasions for an aggregate of up to ninety (90) days for all postponements, and (b) no more than two (2) times during the term of the Loan, Borrower shall have the right (in each case by notice to the Lender not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the scheduled date of prepayment) to revoke its notice of its intention to prepay.
2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Monthly Payment Date following the date on which Borrower actually receives any Net Proceeds, if and to the extent Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of the Property, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Notes in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. Such prepayment shall be applied, first, to interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan that would have accrued at the Applicable Interest Rate on the amount prepaid through the end of the Interest Period immediately prior to the date on which such prepayment occurs, and then to all other amounts then due to Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and then to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan. Any partial prepayment shall be applied first to any balloon payment due at maturity, and then to installments of principal in the inverse order of their maturity. No Spread Maintenance Premium shall be payable under this Section 2.4.2.
2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If after an Event of Default, but prior to the date when prepayment is permitted under Section 2.4.1, payment of all or any part of the principal of the Loan is tendered by Borrower (which tender Lender may reject to the extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements), a purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person, such tender shall be deemed an attempt to circumvent the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 and Borrower, such purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall pay the Spread Maintenance Premium, in addition to (i) all accrued and unpaid interest calculated at the Applicable Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the Prepayment Date together with an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued at the
38
Applicable Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through the end of the Interest Period immediately prior to the date on which such prepayment occurs, (ii) the Interest Shortfall, if applicable, with respect to the amount prepaid, (iii) Breakage Costs, if any, without duplication of any sums paid pursuant to the preceding clause (ii); and (v) all other sums due under this Agreement (including Section 2.3.3), the Notes or the other Loan Documents in connection with a partial or total prepayment.
2.4.4 If the Loan is prepaid in full at any time prior to the funding of the full amount of the TI/LC Maximum Advance Amount and Maximum Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx Imputed Rent Advance Amount, then the Note B Lenders’ obligations to fund any unfunded portion of the TI/LC Maximum Advance Amount and Maximum Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx Imputed Rent Advance shall thereupon be null and void and of no further force or effect.
Section 2.5. Interest Rate Swap. At all times during the term of the Loan, the Affiliated Hedge Party shall maintain in effect an Interest Rate Protection Agreement, with a notional amount equal to not less than the Facility Amount and with Bank of America N.A. (so long as it maintains a Minimum Counterparty Rating) or another Counterparty acceptable to Lender having a Minimum Counterparty Rating. If the Affiliated Hedge Party obtains one (1) Interest Rate Protection Agreement, the LIBOR strike rate under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be equal to or less than the Capped LIBOR Rate, or if the Affiliated Hedge Party obtains more than one (1) Interest Rate Protection Agreement, the blended LIBOR strike rate under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, as determined by Lender, shall be equal to or less than the Capped LIBOR Rate. The Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. In the event of any downgrade or withdrawal of the rating of such Counterparty by any Rating Agency below the Minimum Counterparty Rating, Borrower shall cause the Affiliated Hedge Party to replace the Interest Rate Protection Agreement not later than thirty (30) Business Days following receipt of notice from Lender of such downgrade or withdrawal with an Interest Rate Protection Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender (and meeting the requirements set forth in this Section 2.5) from a Counterparty acceptable to Lender having a Minimum Counterparty Rating; provided, however, that if Eurohypo AG is the Counterparty and any Rating Agency withdraws or downgrades the credit rating of Lender below the Minimum Counterparty Rating, Borrower shall not be required to cause the Affiliated Hedge Party to replace the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement provided that within thirty (30) Business Days following Lender’s notice to Borrower of such downgrade or withdrawal Eurohypo AG posts additional collateral acceptable to the Rating Agencies securing its obligations under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if S&P or Fitch withdraws or downgrades the credit rating of Eurohypo AG below “A”, or Xxxxx’x withdraws or downgrades the credit rating of Eurohypo AG below “Aa3”, Borrower shall cause the Affiliated Hedge Party to replace the Interest Rate Protection Agreement not later than fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt of notice from Lender of such downgrade or withdrawal with an Interest Rate Protection Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (and meeting the requirements set forth in this Section 2.5) from a Counterparty acceptable to Lender having a Minimum Counterparty Rating.
Section 2.6. Guarantee Rights. Guarantor or its Affiliates shall have the right to provide Lender with a guaranty, in the sole discretion of Guarantor or such Affiliate, of all or any
39
portion of any of the Notes, and Lender agrees, provided that such guaranty does not adversely affect any of Lender’s rights and interests under the Loan Documents or violate any applicable Legal Requirements and the conditions set forth below are satisfied, to accept such guaranty. Lender may condition its acceptance of such guaranty upon delivery to Lender of a satisfactory non-consolidation opinion (which opinion shall be in form, scope and substance acceptable in all respects to Lender and the Rating Agencies) and modification of the Loan Documents to reflect the existence and terms of such guaranty. All expenses incurred by Lender in connection with its review of a proposed guaranty and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth above (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses in connection therewith) shall be jointly and severally payable by Borrower and Guarantor whether or not Lender accepts the proposed guaranty.

3.1.4 Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against Borrower in any court or by or before any other Governmental Authority that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is bound.

There are no mechanics’, materialman’s or other similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the Mortgage. None of the Permitted Encumbrances, individually or
41
in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage and this Loan Agreement, materially and adversely affect the value of the Property, impair the use or operations of the Property or impair Borrower’s ability to pay the Debt in a timely manner.
3.1.8 No Plan Assets.

Borrower has not received notice of, and, Borrower is not otherwise aware of any default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, the violation of which would have a Material Adverse Effect. To Borrower’s knowledge, there has not been, and Borrower covenants that there shall never be committed by Borrower or any other person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property, any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, or knowingly permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture.

3.1.11 Condemnation. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s best knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or any portion of the Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to the Property.

3.1.14 Assessments. There are no pending or proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, nor are there any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other assessments.
3.1.15 No Defenses. The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set‑off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors obligations), and Borrower has not asserted any right of rescission, set‑off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.
3.1.16 Assignment of Leases.

All premiums due under such Policies as of the Closing Date have been paid.

Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur Indebtedness and liabilities (including known contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such Indebtedness and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

Copies of any such proposed amended Annual Budget shall be furnished at least thirty (30) days before final adoption thereof to Lender for its approval.

4.2.14 Assets. Borrower shall not purchase or own any property other than the Property and any property necessary or incidental for the operation of the Property.

(i) comprehensive all risk insurance on the Improvements and the personal property at the Property (A) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation, but the amount shall in no event be less than the outstanding principal balance of the Loan; (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and personal property at the Property waiving all co-insurance provisions; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) for non-catastrophic perils; and (D) containing an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement with coverage limits acceptable to Lender if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses. In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (y) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area,” flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Notes or (2) the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended or such greater amount as Lender shall require; and (z) earthquake insurance (which earthquake insurance is limited to an amount not less than the product of (I) the probable maximum loss applicable to the Property, as set forth in the Seismic Analysis, multiplied by (II) the replacement cost of Improvements, as set forth in the Appraisal) and windstorm insurance in amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in the event the Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity, provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under this subsection (i).
66
(ii) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with an occurrence limit of not less than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and an aggregate limit of not less than Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00); (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability for all legal contracts; and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 9 of the Mortgage to the extent such coverage is available;
(iii) business income insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above for a period commencing at the time of loss for such length of time as it takes to repair or replace with the exercise of due diligence and dispatch; (C) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (D) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected gross income from the Property for a period from the date of loss to a date (assuming total destruction) which is twelve (12) months from the date that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed. The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Notes; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Notes and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;
(iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;
67

(vi) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above;

(ix) so-called “dramshop” insurance or other liability insurance required in connection with the sale of alcoholic beverages, if served at the Property.

The claims paying ability rating of the insurer shall be consistent with the requirements of Section 5.1.2 hereof or, if no insurer of such claims paying ability rating is then issuing such terrorism insurance, the chosen insurer shall be the insurer which is offering such terrorism insurance and which has a claims paying ability rating the closest to that required by Section 5.1.2 hereof.
(xii) If perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism or other similar acts or events are hereafter excluded from Borrower’s comprehensive all risk insurance policy or business income insurance coverage required under subsections (i) and (iii) above, Borrower shall obtain an endorsement to such policy, or a separate policy from an insurance provider which meets the requirements set forth in Section 5.1.2 below or is
68
otherwise satisfactory to Lender, insuring against all such excluded acts or events in the amounts required for such coverage under subsections (i) and (iii) above, or such lesser amount as may be approved by Lender in its sole discretion. The endorsement or policy shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and shall meet Rating Agency criteria for securitized loans;
(xiii) upon sixty (60) days’ notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located; and
(xiv) Lender shall be satisfied that, upon the completion of the Restoration, (I) the Loan to Value Ratio for the Property is equal to at least that which it was immediately preceding the Casualty or Condemnation of the Property, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, and (II) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio on the outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall be at or above 1.10:1.00, whichever is greater.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or, in the singular, the “Policy”) and, to the extent not specified above, shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, evidence of renewal of such insurance (which may be provided in the form of certificates of insurance policy binders, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of such renewal accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums then due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c) All insurance required hereunder may be effected by one or more blanket Policies covering the Property and other property and assets of Affiliates of Borrower or REIT not constituting a part of the Property. Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.1.1(a).
(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 5.1.1(a) shall be primary coverage and, except for the Policy referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender and its successors and/or assigns as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood, earthquake and terrorism insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non‑contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender. Borrower shall not procure or permit any of its constituent entities to procure any other insurance coverage which would be on the same level of payment as the Policies or would adversely impact in any way the ability of Lender or Borrower to collect any proceeds under any of the Policies.
69
(e) All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a), except for the Policies referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v) and (a)(viii), shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect, or otherwise provide, that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policy shall not be canceled or permitted to lapse without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice (or ten (10) days notice for non-payment of premium) to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured and, shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without such a thirty (30) day notice; and
(iii) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f) 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 premiums 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 Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(g) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
5.1.2 Insurance Company. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Property is located and having a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P and the equivalent rating by one of the other Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, up to forty percent (40%) of the commercial property insurance required under Section 5.1.1(a)(i) above (including boiler and machinery coverage and terrorism coverage required under Sections 5.1.1(a)(vi) and 5.1.1(a)(x)) may be issued by companies that do not have a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better, provided that (i) there shall be five (5) or more insurance companies providing such coverage, (ii) the primary layers of such coverage are provided by insurers having claims paying abilities of “A” or better (or the equivalent thereof), (iii) such insurance companies otherwise satisfy the criteria set forth in the preceding sentence, and (iv) each such insurance company shall have a financial strength rating from S&P of at least “BBB” (or the equivalent thereof).
70
5.1.3 Approval of Existing Policies. Lender acknowledges that Lender has approved the Policies currently in effect with respect to Borrower and the Property.
Section 5.2. Casualty and Condemnation.
5.2.1 Casualty. If the Property shall sustain a Casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice of such Casualty to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 5.3, it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore the Property to the precise condition of the Property prior to such Casualty provided the Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In the event of a Casualty where the loss does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim; provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event of a Casualty where the loss exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim only with the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any such adjustments. Notwithstanding any Casualty, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Notes and in this Agreement.
5.2.2 Condemnation. Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any actual or threatened commencement of a Condemnation proceeding by any Governmental Authority of all or any part of the Property and shall deliver to Lender a copy of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Borrower may settle and compromise the Condemnation only with the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any litigation and settlement discussions in respect thereof and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by Lender to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, while an Event of Default exists, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any Award for application in accordance with this Agreement and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with any such Condemnation. Notwithstanding any Condemnation, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Notes and in this Agreement. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by any Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest accruing on the Debt at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Notes. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken in Condemnation by any Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 5.3. 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
71
not a deficiency judgment on the Notes shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
5.2.3 Casualty Proceeds. Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 5.1.1(a)(iii) and provided no Event of Default then exists hereunder, proceeds received by Lender on account of the business interruption insurance specified in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii) above with respect to any Casualty shall be deposited by Lender directly into the Deposit Account (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) but (a) only to the extent it reflects a replacement for lost Rents that would have been due under Leases existing on the date of such Casualty, and (b) only to the extent necessary to fully make the disbursements required by Section 3.3 (a)(i) through (v) of the Cash Management Agreement. All other such proceeds shall be held by Lender and disbursed in accordance with Section 5.3 hereof.
Section 5.3. Delivery of Net Proceeds.
5.3.1 Minor Casualty or Condemnation. If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to the Property and the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Threshold and the reasonably anticipated costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, and provided (a) no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured and (b) the Casualty or Condemnation shall have occurred prior to the Maturity Date, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower. Promptly after receipt of the Net Proceeds, Borrower shall commence and satisfactorily complete with reasonable diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Net Proceeds are received by Borrower and may be retained by Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof, such Net Proceeds shall, until completion of the Restoration, be held in trust for Lender and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay for the cost of Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof.
5.3.2 Major Casualty or Condemnation.
(a) If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to the Property and the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration are reasonably anticipated to be equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(ii) (A) in the event the Net Proceeds are insurance proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements at the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (B) in the event the Net Proceeds are an Award, less than fifteen percent (15%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is the subject of the Condemnation;
(iii) Leases requiring payment of annual rent equal to sixty-five percent (65%) of the Gross Income from Operations received by Borrower during the
72
twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Casualty or Condemnation and all Major Leases shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required for Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation;
(iv) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;
(v) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits and all payments of principal and interest under the Notes will be paid during the period required for Restoration from (A) the Net Proceeds, or (B) other funds of Borrower;
(vi) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (A) the date six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (B) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Lease, (C) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable or (D) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii);
(vii) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(viii) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(ix) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the related Improvements;
(x) all Operating Agreements shall remain in full force and effect; and
(xi) After giving effect to such Restoration, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Property shall be equal to the greater of (i) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately preceding the Closing Date, and (ii) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Property for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately preceding the Casualty or Condemnation of the Property.
(b) The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender and held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2, shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The Net Proceeds (including all interest earned thereon) shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender
73
that (i) all requirements set forth in Section 5.3.2(a) have been satisfied, (ii) all materials installed and work and labor performed in connection with the requested disbursement (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (iii) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(c) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior approval of Lender and an independent architect selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). The plans and specifications shall require that the Restoration be completed in a first-class workmanlike manner at least equivalent to the quality and character of the original work in the Improvements (provided, however, that in the case of a partial Condemnation, the Restoration shall be done to the extent reasonably practicable after taking into account the consequences of such partial Condemnation), so that upon completion thereof, the Property shall be at least equal in value and general utility to the Property prior to the damage or destruction; it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore the Property to the precise condition of the Property prior to such Casualty provided the Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty. Borrower shall restore all Improvements such that when they are fully restored and/or repaired, such Improvements and their contemplated use fully comply with all applicable material Legal Requirements. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to approval by Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with recovering, holding and advancing the Net Proceeds for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Borrower. Lender shall use good faith efforts to respond within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of Borrower’s written request for approval of any plans and specifications (or contractors, subcontractors or materialmen in connection therewith). If Lender fails to respond to such request within ten (10) Business Days of such request and Borrower sends a second written notice which contains a bold faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page stating “IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN”, and if Lender fails to respond within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such second request and the related plans and specifications and all information reasonably required in order to adequately review the same, then such approval will be deemed to have been given.
(d) 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, less the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event,
74
and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 5.3.2(d), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty 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 5.3.2(d) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty 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, 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 issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty 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.
(e) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(f) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the 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 5.3.2 shall constitute additional security for the Debt.
(g) 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 5.3.2, 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 any of the Loan Documents; provided, however, the amount of such excess returned to Borrower in the case of a Condemnation shall not exceed the amount of Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited by Borrower with the balance being applied to the Debt in the manner provided for in subsection 5.3.2(h).
75
(h) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.3.2(g) may 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 sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate.

If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Insurance Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and the monthly deposits for Insurance Premiums shall be increased by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies. Lender shall cause the Insurance Funds to be deposited with Agent for credit to the “Insurance Account” established under the Cash Management Agreement within five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date.
6.3.2 Release of Insurance Funds. Provided no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, Lender shall apply the Insurance Funds to payment of Insurance Premiums. In making any payment relating to Insurance Premiums, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the insurer or its agent, without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate. If the amount of the Insurance Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Insurance Premiums, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Insurance Funds. Any Insurance Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.
6.3.3 Blanket Insurance and Premium Financing. For so long as a Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement (as hereafter defined) remains in effect, in lieu of the amount of the Insurance Premiums to be paid by Borrower to Lender pursuant to Section 6.3.1 hereof, Borrower shall pay to Lender the Financing Installment (as hereafter defined). As used herein, the term “Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement” means the arrangement with one or more finance companies for the financing of certain blanket insurance policies maintained by Borrower under the Property Insurance Sharing Agreement. Each Fiscal Year, Borrower pays to such finance companies Borrower’s allocable share of the annual initial deposit (the “Deposit”) and Borrower’s allocable share of ten (10) regular monthly payments (the “Regular Payments”) due for each blanket Policy. The term “Financing Installment” as
77
used herein means 1/12 of the aggregate of the Deposit and the Regular Payments for each annual period, as such amounts may be adjusted as hereinafter set forth. On the first Monthly Payment Date and on each Monthly Payment Date in calendar year 2007, the Financing Installment shall be in the applicable amount shown on Schedule II attached hereto. Not less than twenty (20) days prior to each renewal date of each blanket policy, Borrower shall provide Lender in writing the estimated premium for such blanket policy for the following renewal period, and not less than ten (10) days after the renewal date, Borrower will provide Lender in writing the actual amount of such premium. Borrower will also notify Lender in writing within ten (10) days after any change in the amounts allocated to the Property under the Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement or any other charge in premiums or amounts due from Borrower under the Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement. Thereafter, the Financing Installment shall be adjusted as reasonably determined by Lender. In the event of any material change in the Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, the foregoing provisions shall be modified as reasonably determined by Lender in order to carry out the intent and purposes hereof. The term “Insurance Premiums”, for the purposes of this Agreement, shall include any Deposits, any Regular Payments and any Financing Installments required to be paid by Borrower under any Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, including, without limitation, the Property Insurance Sharing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower covenants and agrees that the finance company (or finance companies) entering into the Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement shall have no collateral from Borrower for Borrower’s obligations under such arrangement other than Borrower’s interest in any unearned Insurance Premiums and shall not have the ability to terminate or compel Borrower to terminate an insurance policy the premiums for which have been financed through the Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement without Borrower first having in place a replacement insurance policy in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

95
indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party.

The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.2(b) or (c) is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(a) (vi), (vii) or (viii) above) and at any time thereafter Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement 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 and to 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 the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(a) (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under 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 any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 10.2. Remedies.
(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.22 hereof, upon the occurrence 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 or any of 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 any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage 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 Mortgage 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
99
Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Notes and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages 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 intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) 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 (ii) 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.
(d) 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.
Section 10.3. Right to Cure Defaults.
While an Event of Default exists, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 10.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and
100
security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefore.
Section 10.4. Remedies Cumulative.
Subject to the limitations contained in Section 11.22 hereof, the rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. 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.
Section 10.5. Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx U.S. Bank Tower Lease Takeover Agreement Cash Collateral or Collateral Letter of Credit.
Borrower may at any time, at its option, and Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the occurrence of any Event of Default (without limiting Lender’s other rights and remedies, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default), or upon the occurrence of the circumstances set forth in Section 3.04 of the Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx U.S. Bank Tower Lease Guarantee, deliver to Lender an amount equal to the sum of (i) any amounts then due, payable and unpaid under Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx U.S. Bank Tower Lease Takeover Agreement, plus (ii) all future payments to become due pursuant to the Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx U.S. Bank Tower Lease Takeover Agreement in the form of (i) cash collateral, in which case such payment shall be deposited to a Collateral Account or (ii) a Collateral Letter of Credit, in which case such Collateral Letter of Credit shall be delivered to Lender. Any optional election by Borrower to deliver such cash collateral or Collateral Letter of Credit to Lender shall be irrevocable. In the event Borrower delivers such amount to Lender in the form of cash collateral, the provisions of Sections 10.5.1, 10.5.2 and 10.5.3 shall apply. With respect to any amounts of cash collateral delivered pursuant to this Section 10.5 and required to be held in a Controlled Account, Lender shall be entitled to draw upon any cash deposited in a Controlled Account pursuant to this Section 10.5, in whole or in part from time to time, to pay any sums due under the Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx U.S. Bank Tower Lease Takeover Agreement which are not paid when due. In the event Borrower pays Lender in the form of a Collateral Letter of Credit, the provisions of Section 10.5.4 shall apply. The obligations of Borrower to maintain the Collateral Letter of Credit or cash collateral shall apply until all sums due under the Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx U.S. Bank Tower Lease Takeover Agreement have been paid in full; provided that to the extent that the obligations of Borrower under the Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx U.S. Bank Tower Lease Takeover Agreement are paid and performed, Borrower may request that the amount of the Collateral Letter of Credit or cash collateral be reduced so as to equal an amount not greater than the sum of any amounts then due, payable and unpaid under Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx U.S. Bank Tower Lease Takeover Agreement, plus all then future payments to become due pursuant to the Xxxxxx &
101
Xxxxxxx U.S. Bank Tower Lease Takeover Agreement, and Lender shall (provided that no Event of Default then exists) promptly following its receipt of such request accept a replacement Collateral Letter of Credit in such reduced amount or release cash collateral (to the extent it is in excess of such reduced amount).
10.5.1 Establishment and Maintenance of the Controlled Account.
(a) Each Controlled Account required hereunder (i) shall be established at, and a separate and identifiable account from all other funds held by, a Depository Bank and (ii) shall contain only funds required to be deposited pursuant to this Section 10.5. Any interest which may accrue on the amounts on deposit in a Controlled Account shall be added to and shall become part of the balance of such Controlled Account. Borrower, Lender and the applicable Depository Bank shall enter into an agreement (a “Controlled Account Agreement”), substantially in the form of Schedule X attached hereto (with such changes thereto as may be required by such Depository Bank and satisfactory to Lender) which shall govern such Controlled Account and the rights, duties and obligations of each party to such Controlled Account Agreement.
(b) Each Controlled Account Agreement shall provide that (i) the Controlled Account shall be established in the name of Lender, (ii) the Controlled Account shall be subject to the sole dominion, control and discretion of Lender, and (iii) neither Borrower nor any other Person other than Lender, including, without limitation, any Person claiming on behalf of or through Borrower, shall have any right or authority, whether express or implied, to make use of or withdraw, or cause the use or withdrawal of, any proceeds from the Controlled Account or any of the other proceeds deposited in the Controlled Account.
10.5.2 Controlled Account Fees. Borrower shall pay any and all fees charged by Depository Bank in connection with the maintenance of the Controlled Account required to be established by or for it hereunder, and the performance of the Depository Bank’s duties.
10.5.3 Security Interest.
(a) Borrower hereby grants a perfected first priority security interest in favor of Lender in each Controlled Account established by or for it hereunder and all financial assets and other property and sums at any time held, deposited or invested therein, and all security entitlements and investment property relating thereto, together with any interest or other earnings thereon, and all proceeds thereof, whether accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, deposit accounts, instruments, documents or securities (collectively, “Controlled Account Collateral”), together with all rights of a secured party with respect thereto to secure the Loans
(b) Borrower covenants and agrees:
(i) to do all acts that may be reasonably necessary to maintain, preserve and protect the Controlled Account Collateral;
(ii) to pay promptly when due all material taxes, assessments, charges, encumbrances and liens now or hereafter imposed upon or affecting the Controlled Account Collateral;
102
(iii) to appear in and defend any action or proceeding which may materially and adversely affect Borrower’s title to or Lender’s interest in the Controlled Account Collateral;
(iv) following the creation of each Controlled Account established by or for Borrower and the initial funding thereof, other than to Lender pursuant to this Agreement or a Controlled Account Agreement, not to transfer, assign, sell, surrender, encumber, mortgage, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of any of the Controlled Account Collateral or rights or interests therein, and to keep the Controlled Account Collateral free of all levies and security interests or other liens or charges except the security interest in favor of Lender granted hereunder;
(v) to account fully for and promptly deliver to Lender, in the form received, all documents, chattel paper, instruments and agreements constituting the Controlled Account Collateral hereunder, endorsed to Lender or in blank, as requested by Lender, and accompanied by such powers as appropriate and until so delivered all such documents, instruments, agreements and proceeds shall be held by Borrower in trust for Lender, separate from all other property of Borrower; and
(vi) from time to time upon request by Lender, to furnish such further assurances of Borrower’s title with respect to the Controlled Account Collateral, execute such written agreements, or do such other acts, all as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes of this agreement or as may be required by applicable Law, or in order to perfect or continue the first-priority lien and security interest of Lender in the Controlled Account Collateral.
(c) All interest earned on any Controlled Account shall be retained in such Controlled Account. Borrower shall treat all interest earned on its Controlled Account as its income for federal income tax purposes.
(d) Upon the failure of the Borrower to pay when due any sums due under the Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx U.S. Bank Tower Lease Takeover Agreement, Lender may do any one or more of the following, and apply the proceeds thereof to pay any sums due under the Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx U.S. Bank Tower Lease Takeover Agreement which are not paid when due and Lender’s costs and expenses in connection with the exercise of such rights:
(i) without any advertisement or notice to or authorization from Borrower (all of which advertisements, notices and/or authorizations are hereby expressly waived), withdraw, sell or otherwise liquidate the funds deposited into any Controlled Account established by or for Borrower, and Borrower hereby consents to any such withdrawal and application as a commercially reasonable disposition of such funds and agrees that such withdrawal shall not result in satisfaction of the Loans;
(ii) without any advertisement or notice to or authorization from Borrower (all of which advertisements, notices and/or authorizations are hereby expressly waived), notify any account debtor on any Controlled Account Collateral pledged by Borrower pursuant hereto to make payment directly to Lender;
103
(iii) foreclose upon all or any portion of the Controlled Account Collateral pledged by Borrower or otherwise enforce Lender’s security interest in any manner permitted by applicable Law or provided for in this Agreement;
(iv) sell or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Controlled Account Collateral pledged by Borrower at one or more public or private sales, whether or not such Controlled Account Collateral is present at the place of sale, for cash or credit or future delivery, on such terms and in such manner as Lender may determine;
(v) recover from Borrower all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy provided by this subsection (v); and
(vi) exercise any other right or remedy available to Lender under applicable Law or in equity.
10.5.4 Collateral Letters of Credit. With respect to any Collateral Letters of Credit which Borrower may furnish or cause to be furnished to Lender in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.5:
(a) Lender will be entitled, among other things, to make one or more draws pursuant to this Agreement by presentment thereof to the issuing bank accompanied only by Lender’s clean sight-draft, it being intended that the issuing bank shall have no right to inquire as to Lender’s right to draw upon such Collateral Letter of Credit;
(b) Lender shall be entitled to draw upon any Collateral Letter of Credit delivered pursuant to this Section 10.5, in whole or in part from time to time, to pay any sums due under the Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx U.S. Bank Tower Lease Takeover Agreement which are not paid when due; and
(c) Lender shall have the right to draw upon any Collateral Letter of Credit within ten (10) Business Days prior to the expiration date of such Collateral Letter of Credit or any renewal or extension thereof unless, prior to such expiration date of such Collateral Letter of Credit, renewal or extension, Borrower shall have furnished a replacement, extension or renewal Collateral Letter of Credit, acceptable to Lender, it being the intent hereof that at no time shall the unexpired term of any required Collateral Letter of Credit be less than ten (10) Business Days. If Lender draws upon a Collateral Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms hereof, then Lender shall hold the proceeds thereof in a Controlled Account as cash collateral. Lender shall also be entitled to draw upon a Collateral Letter of Credit if the credit rating of the issuing bank no longer meets the standard required under the definition of “Collateral Letter of Credit” and Borrower does not deliver to Lender a replacement letter of credit that otherwise conforms to the requirements for Collateral Letters of Credit within ten (10) Business Days following notice of the same from Lender, or if Lender reasonably believes that its rights to draw on such Collateral Letter of Credit are in imminent jeopardy of not being honored.
10.5.5 In the event that Borrower delivers cash collateral or a Collateral Letter of Credit to Lender in compliance with this Agreement, Lender shall be entitled to retain such cash
104
collateral or Collateral Letter of Credit (subject to its rights hereunder) until all of Borrower’s obligations under the Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx U.S. Bank Tower Lease Takeover Agreement are paid and performed, notwithstanding that any Event of Default that may have triggered Borrower’s obligation to deliver such cash collateral or Collateral Letter of Credit has been cured.

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 and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and shall not 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 Property 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 Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right at any time to require Borrower to execute and deliver “component” notes (including senior and junior notes) in replacement of any of the Notes as evidence of the Loan, which notes may be paid in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender, provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such “component” notes shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such “component” notes, (ii) the weighted average interest rate of all such “component” notes shall on the date created equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such “component” notes, (iii) the debt service on all such “component” notes shall on the date created equal the debt service which was due under the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such component notes, (iv) the other terms and provisions of each of the “component” notes shall be identical in substance and substantially similar in form to the Loan Documents, and (v) such adjustment does not increase Borrower’s affirmative obligations or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents or adversely affect the economic terms of the Loans, except for the effect on the weighted average interest rate that may result while an Event of Default exists from the repayment of any lower-yielding senior note or senior participation prior to the repayment of any higher-yielding junior note or junior participation. Borrower, at its cost and expense, shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to establish the “component” notes and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender and any Rating Agency in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and satisfactory to any Rating Agency, including, without limitation, the severance of security documents if requested.

Section 11.30. Approvals; Third Parties; Conditions.
All approval rights retained or exercised by Lender with respect to Leases, contracts, plans, studies and other matters are solely to facilitate Lender’s credit underwriting, and shall not be deemed or construed as a determination that Lender has passed on the adequacy thereof for any other purpose and may not be relied upon by Borrower or any other Person. This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive use of Lender and Borrower and may not be enforced, nor relied upon, by any Person other than Lender and Borrower. All conditions of the obligations of Lender hereunder, including the obligation to make advances, if any, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns, and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make advances in the absence of strict compliance with any or all of such conditions, and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender at any time in Lender’s sole discretion.

Section 11.31. Limitation on Liability of Lender’s Officers, Employees, etc.
Any obligation or liability whatsoever of Lender which may arise at any time under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be satisfied, if at all, out of Lender’s interest in the Property only.

In the event Mortgage Borrower and/or Mezzanine Borrower fail to execute and deliver such documents to Lender within five (5) Business Days following such request by Lender, Mortgage Borrower and/or Mezzanine Borrower, as applicable, hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint Lender as their true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in their name and xxxxx to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such
120
transactions, Mortgage Borrower and/or Mezzanine Borrower, as applicable, ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof.

WHEREAS, Tenant is the holder of a leasehold estate in a portion of the Property (the “Premises”) under and pursuant to the provisions of a certain lease dated as of ____________, ____, between _______________, a _______________ (“Landlord”) and Tenant (such lease, as the same may be amended, modified, extended, renewed, supplemented or replaced with, to the extent required hereunder, the consent of Mortgagee, being hereinafter referred to as the “Lease”); and
WHEREAS, Tenant has agreed to subordinate the Lease to the Mortgage and to the lien thereof and Mortgagee has agreed to grant non-disturbance to Tenant under the Lease on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, Mortgagee and Tenant agree as follows:
1. Subordination. Tenant agrees that the Lease and all of the terms, covenants and provisions thereof and all rights, remedies and options of Tenant thereunder are and shall at all times continue to be fully subject and subordinate in all
Schedule IV
110
respects to the Mortgage, and to all advances heretofore made, and hereafter to be made, pursuant thereto provided that, as between Landlord and Tenant, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to affect the obligations of Landlord or Tenant under the Lease. This provision shall be self-operative and no further instrument shall be required to confirm or perfect such subordination. However, at the request of Mortgagee and at no cost to Tenant, Tenant shall execute and deliver such other documents reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and take such other action as Mortgagee reasonably requests to perfect, confirm or effectuate such subordination, provided that such documents do not diminish any of Mortgagee’s obligations or increase any of Tenant’s obligations or adversely affect any of Tenant’s rights hereunder.
2. Non-Disturbance. Mortgagee agrees that (a) Mortgagee shall not terminate the Lease nor shall Mortgagee disturb or affect Tenant’s (or, with respect to any person or entity claiming through or under Tenant, such person’s or entity’s) leasehold estate, use and possession of the Premises or any portion thereof in accordance with the terms of the Lease or any rights of Tenant (and any person or entity claiming through or under Tenant) under the Lease by reason of the subordination of the Lease to the Mortgage or by reason of any foreclosure action or any other action or proceeding instituted under or in connection with the Mortgage and (b) if any action or proceeding is commenced by Mortgagee for the foreclosure of the Mortgage or the sale of the Property pursuant to the Mortgage or any other proceeding to enforce the Mortgage, neither Tenant (nor any person or entity claiming through or under tenant) shall be named or joined as a party therein, and the sale of the Property in any such action or proceeding and the exercise by Mortgagee of any of its other rights under the Mortgage (or other loan documents securing the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage) shall be made subject to all rights of Tenant (and any person or entity claiming through or under Tenant) under the Lease, provided that (i) at the time of the commencement of any such action or proceeding or at the time of any such sale or exercise of any such other rights set forth in clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 2, (x) the Lease shall be in full force and effect and (y) Tenant shall not be in default (after all applicable notices have been given and all applicable grace periods have expired) under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed and (ii) Tenant may be so named or joined in any such action or proceeding if required by law, so long as (1) in connection with such naming and joining of Tenant, Mortgagee will not seek to terminate or extinguish Tenant’s rights (or those of any person or entity claiming through or under Tenant) under this Agreement or the Lease and (2) none of Tenant’s rights (or those of any person or entity claiming through or under Tenant) under this Agreement or the Lease shall be impaired or otherwise affected by such naming or joining of Tenant.
3. Non-Liability. If and when Mortgagee shall take possession of the Property or a receiver shall be appointed therefor, or, if Mortgagee or another purchaser shall become the owner of the Property by reason of a foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the Lease shall, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
Schedule IV
110
therein contained, continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Mortgagee (which term, for the purposes of this Agreement, shall be deemed to include such purchaser) and Tenant, and Mortgagee shall be subject to the provisions of the Lease with the same force and effect as if the Lease was a direct lease between Mortgagee and Tenant, provided that in no event shall Mortgagee or its successors or assigns be:
(a) liable for any previous act, omission or negligence of any prior landlord under the Lease (including, without limitation, Landlord) or the failure or default of any prior landlord (including, without limitation, Landlord) to comply with any of its obligations under the Lease except to the extent such act, omission, negligence, failure or default relates to the failure to maintain the condition of the Premises and continues after the date that Mortgagee succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease; or
(b) subject to any defenses, offsets or counterclaims that Tenant may have against any prior landlord (including, without limitation, Landlord); or
(c) subject to subsection (i) below, bound by any payment of Fixed Rent or additional rent that Tenant might have made more than one month in advance of the due date of such payment unless the prepayment was expressly approved in writing by the Mortgagee; or
(d) bound by any covenant of any prior landlord (including, without limitation, Landlord) to undertake or complete the initial construction of any portion of the Premises or the Property or any capital improvements therein in order to prepare the same for Tenant’s initial occupancy; or
(e) bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant, or to perform any other obligations, under the Work Letter; or
(f) bound by any action listed in Section 4 below made without Mortgagee’s prior written consent; or
(g) liable to Tenant beyond Mortgagee’s interest in the Property and the rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues and profits arising therefrom it being agreed that Tenant shall have no recourse to any other assets of Mortgagee; or
(h) liable for any brokerage commissions or costs, expenses or liabilities in connection with the Lease; or
(i) liable for any monies on deposit with Landlord to the credit of Tenant except to the extent turned over to Mortgagee.
4. No Changes to Lease. The Lease constitutes an inducement to Mortgagee to enter into this Agreement. Consequently, in the event Tenant shall, without
Schedule IV
110
obtaining the prior written consent of Mortgagee, (i) enter into any agreement modifying, amending, extending, renewing, terminating or surrendering the Lease which are not specifically referenced in the Lease (e.g. remeasurement of space, confirmation of expansion, or renewal options, etc.), (ii) prepay any of the Fixed Rent or additional rent due under the Lease for more than one (1) month in advance of the due dates thereof (except as permitted under Section 3(c) above), (iii) voluntarily surrender the premises demised under the Lease or terminate the Lease without cause or shorten the term thereof, except as and to the extent provided for in the Lease, (iv) assign the Lease or sublet the premises demised under the Lease or any part thereof other than pursuant to the provisions of the Lease or (v) subordinate or permit the subordination of the Lease to any lien other than the Mortgage except to the extent provided or permitted by the Lease; then any such prohibited amendment, modification, termination, prepayment, voluntary surrender, assignment or subletting, without Mortgagee’s prior consent, shall not be binding upon Mortgagee.
5. Attornment. If the interest of Landlord under the Lease is transferred (or surrendered or terminated) to Mortgagee by reason of Landlord’s default under the Mortgage or by reason of assignment of the Lease (or any similar device) in lieu of transfer (or surrender or termination or deed in lieu of foreclosure or other similar device) following Landlord’s default, Mortgagee shall recognize Tenant as the tenant under the Lease and Mortgagee and Tenant shall be bound to each other under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease (except as set forth in paragraph 3) for the balance of the term thereof and for any extension or renewals thereof that are effected in accordance with the Lease, with the same effect as if Mortgagee were the Landlord under the Lease, such recognition and attornment to be effective as of the time Mortgagee succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, without the execution of any further agreement. However, Tenant agrees, at its own expense, to execute and deliver, at any time and from time to time upon request of Mortgagee, any agreement reasonably satisfactory to Tenant that may reasonably be necessary or appropriate to evidence such attornment and recognition provided that such agreement does not diminish any of Mortgagee’s obligations or increase any of Tenant’s obligations or adversely affect any of Tenant’s rights. Failure of Tenant to so execute any such an agreement shall not vitiate such attornment and recognition.
6. Notice of Default.
(a) Tenant will promptly notify Mortgagee (and any subsequent Mortgagee provided that such Mortgagee provides written notice to Tenant of its acquisition of Mortgagee’s interest in the Mortgage and designates the address to which such notices are to be sent) in writing of any default of Landlord or other circumstance that would entitle Tenant to cancel the Lease or to xxxxx the rent or additional rent or any other amounts payable thereunder. Tenant agrees that notwithstanding any provision of the Lease, no cancellation thereof shall be effective unless Tenant shall have sent
Schedule IV
110
Mortgagee a notice in the manner herein provided and Mortgagee has failed to cure the default giving rise to such right to cancellation within the time period as Landlord may be entitled to under the Lease plus sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if, within such sixty (60) days, Mortgagee has notified Tenant of its intention to cure such default and has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default. No cure of Landlord’s default by Mortgagee shall be deemed an assumption of Landlord’s other obligations under the lease and no right of Mortgagee hereunder to receive any notice or to cure any default shall be deemed to impose any obligation on Mortgagee to cure (or attempt to cure) any such default.
(b) Tenant agrees, from time to time, to state in writing to Mortgagee, upon request whether or not, to the best of Tenant’s actual knowledge, any default on the part of Landlord exists under the Lease and the nature of any such default, provided, however, that Tenant shall not have any liability to Mortgagee to the extent such statement shall not be true and correct in all material respects but such statement shall estop Tenant as to matters as to which Tenant had so stated.
7. Acknowledgement of Assignment of Lease.
(a) Without limitation of its other consents, agreements and covenants in this Agreement, Tenant hereby:
(i) consents to the absolute assignment of, and creation of a security interest in, all right, title and interest of Landlord in, to and under the Lease and all rents and other sums, moneys and other amounts payable thereunder and all rights of Landlord thereunder, in each case to and for the benefit of Mortgagee as provided and for the purposes as may be set forth in such assignment (the “Assignment of Leases”);
(ii) agrees that upon notice from Mortgagee, or its successors or assigns, all rents and other sums, moneys and other amounts due or to become due and payable by Tenant under the Lease from time to time (including, without limitation, all base rent and additional rent thereunder ) shall be paid to Mortgagee or as otherwise directed by Mortgagee; provided, however, such receipt of rents and other sums, moneys and other amounts shall not relieve Landlord of its obligations under the Lease, and Tenant shall continue to look to Landlord only for performance thereof; and further provided that Tenant shall retain all of its rights to the extent Landlord shall fail to pay or perform such obligation;
(iii) agrees that, from and after the date that Mortgagee notifies Tenant that there has been an Event of Default under the Mortgage, any notice, demand, approval, consent, election, determination, waiver or other action given or taken by Mortgagee or in respect of the Lease from time to time shall have the same
Schedule IV
110
force and effect as a notice, demand, approval, consent, election, determination, waiver or other action given or taken by Landlord thereunder in respect of the subject matter thereof and that, in the event of an inconsistent notice, demand, approval, consent, election, determination, waiver or other action given or taken from or by Landlord or Mortgagee, the notice, demand, approval, consent, election, determination, waiver or other action given or taken from or by Mortgagee shall control and be dispositive and binding on Tenant for all purposes of the Lease;
(iv) agrees, upon request of Mortgagee, to provide Mortgagee with estoppel certificates addressed to Mortgagee and containing the information required under Section ____ of the Lease; and
(v) agrees that Mortgagee shall not, by reason of the Assignment of Leases, be subject to any obligation, duty or liability under the Lease, except that when Mortgagee is exercising rights under the Lease, it shall do so in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof and, to the extent applicable, this Agreement.
(b) Landlord hereby authorizes Tenant to comply with the provisions of clause (a) above and agrees to indemnify, defend and save Tenant harmless from any claims, actions, losses, damages or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees) arising from Tenant’s compliance with the provisions thereof.
8. Representations. Tenant represents and warrants to Mortgagee that as of the date hereof (i) Tenant is the owner and holder of the tenant’s interest under the Lease; (ii) the Lease (including exhibits and schedules thereto) is a complete statement of the agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the leasing of the Premises, has not been modified or amended except as otherwise indicated on Schedule 3 annexed hereto and Mortgagee has received a full, true and complete copy thereof; (iii) the Lease is in full force and effect; (iv) Tenant has unconditionally accepted and occupied the entire space demised under the Lease and has commenced payment of the full rent under the Lease, (v) neither Landlord nor Tenant has commenced any action to terminate the Lease or given or received any notice of default in respect of the Lease, (vi) to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, neither Tenant nor Landlord is in default under any of the terms, covenants or provisions of the Lease; (vii) no rents, additional rents or other sums payable under the Lease have been paid for more than one (1) month in advance of the due dates thereof, except for prepayments of additional rent that Tenant may have made more than one (1) month in advance of the due dates of such prepayments in accordance with the terms of the Lease; (viii) there are no present offsets or defenses to the payment of the rents, additional rents, or other sums payable under the Lease except as otherwise indicated on Schedule 4 annexed hereto; and (vii) the Lease and this Agreement were duly authorized and entered into by Tenant and constituted the valid and binding obligations of Tenant.

(a) The Controlled Account described herein is the “Controlled Agreement” required to be established pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Loan Agreement, and all sums deposited in the Controlled Account shall be maintained therein in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 10.5 of the Loan Agreement.
Section 2.3. Account Name. The Controlled Account shall be in the name of the Lender.
Section 2.4. Eligible Accounts/Characterization of Accounts. The Controlled Account shall be maintained as an Eligible Account. The Controlled Account shall be treated as a “deposit account” as such term is defined in Section 9-102(a) of the UCC.
Section 2.5. Interest. Sums on deposit in the Controlled Account shall be maintained as cash, demand deposits or time deposits having terms not in excess of thirty (30) days. Provided that an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall have the right to direct the Lender to instruct the Depository Bank to invest sums in demand deposits or time deposits having terms not in excess of thirty (30) days; provided, however, that in no event shall the demand deposits or time deposits have a maturity date that is later than the date on which the invested sums are required for payment of the obligations for which the Controlled Account has been established pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Loan Agreement. Absent express direction from the Borrower, sums on deposit in the Controlled Account shall be uninvested and maintained as cash. Any interest or income earned shall be for the benefit of the Borrower and subject to the rights of the Lender hereunder shall be added to and shall be deposited into the Controlled Account. The Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to income earned unless the Lender is entitled, as owner, to the income earned. The Controlled Account shall be assigned the federal tax identification number of the Borrower for all purposes hereunder.
Section 2.2. Sole Dominion and Control. Prior to payment in full of the Obligations, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Controlled Account is subject to the sole dominion, control and discretion of the Lender and its authorized agents or designees. Prior to payment in full of the Obligations, the Borrower shall not have the right of withdrawal with respect to the Controlled Account; however, so long as no Event of Default exists, the Lender will upon the request of the Borrower instruct the Depositary Bank to release funds from the Controlled Account for purposes of the payment of the obligations under the Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx U.S. Bank Tower Lease Takeover Agreement then due and payable, as provided in Section 10.5
111
of the Loan Agreement, provided that after giving effect to such withdrawal all sums then due and payable under the Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx U.S. Bank Tower Lease Takeover Agreement have been paid and the balance remaining on deposit in the Controlled Account shall be sufficient to cover all future obligations under the Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx U.S. Bank Tower Lease Takeover Agreement. Prior to payment in full of the Obligations, the Depository Bank agrees to comply with the instructions of the Lender with respect to the Controlled Account without the further consent of the Borrower.
III. PLEDGE OF ACCOUNTS
Section 3.1. Security for Obligations. (a) To secure the full and punctual payment and performance of all obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under the Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx U.S. Bank Tower Lease Takeover Agreement or under Section 10.5 of the Loan Agreement (all such obligations, collectively, the “Obligations”), the Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a first priority continuing security interest in and to the following property of the Borrower, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and regardless of where located (all of the same, collectively, the “Collateral”):
(i) the Controlled Account and all cash, checks, drafts, certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time deposited or held in the Controlled Account, including, without limitation, all deposits or wire transfers made to the Controlled Account;
(ii) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise payable in respect of, or in exchange for, any or all of the foregoing; and
(iii) to the extent not covered by clauses (i) or (ii) above, all “proceeds” (as defined under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (the “UCC”)) of any or all of the foregoing.
(b) The Lender shall have with respect to the Collateral, in addition to the rights and remedies herein set forth, all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC, as if such rights and remedies were fully set forth herein.
Section 3.2. Financing Statement; Further Assurances. The Borrower authorizes the Lender to file such financing statements and to execute and deliver such other documents as the Lender may reasonably require to perfect the security interests granted by this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of the Borrower, the Borrower will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Depository Bank or the Lender may reasonably request in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Depository Bank or the Lender to exercise and enforce their respective rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral.
Section 3.3. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until
111
payment in full of the Obligations. Upon payment and performance in full of the Obligations, this Agreement shall terminate and the Borrower shall be entitled to the return, upon its request and at its expense, of such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and the Lender shall execute such instructions to the Depository Bank as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower to evidence such termination and the release of the lien hereof.
IV. RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF LENDER
Section 4.1. Reasonable Care. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof or as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither the Depository Bank nor the Lender shall have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control as agent therefor or bailee thereof or any income thereon or the preservation of rights against any Person or otherwise with respect thereto. The Depository Bank and the Lender each shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Depository Bank or the Lender, acting prudently, accords its own property, it being understood that the Lender shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of the Lender, its Affiliates, agents, employees or bailees, except to the extent that such loss or damage results from the Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided that nothing in this Article IV shall be deemed to relieve the Depository Bank from the duties and standard of care which, as a commercial bank, it generally owes to depositors.
Section 4.2. Indemnity. The Depository Bank, in the discharge of its duties and responsibilities hereunder, shall be responsible for the performance only of such duties as are specifically set forth herein, and no duty shall be implied from any provision hereof. The Depository Bank shall not be under any obligation or duty to perform any act which would involve it in expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, or to advance any of its own monies. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold the Depository Bank and the Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost or damage (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Depository Bank or the Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent that such loss or damage results from the Depository Bank’s or the Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 4.3. Reliance. The Depository Bank shall be protected in acting upon any notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other paper, document or signature reasonably believed by it to be genuine, and it may be assumed that any person purporting to act on behalf of any Person giving any of the foregoing in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. The Depository Bank may consult with counsel, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder and in good faith in accordance therewith. The Depository Bank shall not be liable for any act or omission done or omitted to be done by the Depository Bank in reliance upon any instruction, direction or certification received by the Depository Bank and done or omitted to be done without gross negligence or willful or reckless misconduct.
111
Section 4.4. Resignation of the Depository Bank. (a) The Depository Bank shall have the right to resign as the Depository Bank hereunder upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Borrower and the Lender, and in the event of such resignation, the Borrower shall appoint a successor Depository Bank reasonably acceptable to the Lender which must be an Eligible Institution. No such resignation by the Depository Bank shall become effective until a successor Depository Bank shall have accepted such appointment and executed an instrument by which it shall have assumed all of the rights and obligations of the Depository Bank hereunder. If no such successor Depository Bank is appointed within sixty (60) days after receipt of the resigning Depository Bank’s notice of resignation, the resigning Depository Bank may petition a court for the appointment of a successor Depository Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default exists, any successor Depository Bank may be selected by the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, without the approval or consent of Borrower.
(b) In connection with any resignation by the Depository Bank, (i) the resigning Depository Bank shall, at the sole and reasonable cost of the Borrower, (A) duly assign, transfer and deliver to the successor Depository Bank this Agreement and all sums held by it hereunder, (B) file such financing statements and execute such other instruments as may be necessary to assign to the successor Depository Bank the security interest in the Collateral existing in favor of the resigning Depository Bank hereunder and to otherwise give effect to such succession and (C) take such other actions as may be reasonably required by the Borrower, the Lender or the successor Depository Bank in connection with the foregoing and (ii) the successor Depository Bank shall establish in its name, as secured party, cash collateral accounts, which shall become the Controlled Account for purposes of this Agreement upon the succession of such Depository Bank.
(c) If at any time the Depository Bank ceases to be an Eligible Institution, the Lender at its sole discretion and sole cost shall have the right, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Depository Bank and the Borrower, to substitute the Depository Bank with a successor Depository Bank that satisfies the requirements of an Eligible Institution; provided that such successor Depository Bank shall perform the duties of the Depository Bank pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. So long as no Event of Default exists, such successor Depository Bank shall be subject to Borrower’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld.
111
Section 4.5. Lender Appointed Attorney-In-Fact. The Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Lender as the Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any reasonably necessary instruments and to exercise and enforce every right, power, remedy, option and privilege of the Borrower with respect to the Collateral in accordance with the Loan Agreement, and do in the name, place and stead of the Borrower, all such acts, things and deeds for and on behalf of and in the name of the Borrower, which the Borrower could or might do or which the Depository Bank or the Lender may deem necessary or desirable to more fully vest in the Lender the rights and remedies provided for herein and to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. The foregoing powers of attorney are irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
Section 4.6. Acknowledgment of Lien/Offset Rights. Prior to payment in full of the Obligations, (a) the Controlled Account shall be held by the Depository Bank in the name of the Lender, (b) all funds held in the Controlled Account shall be held for the benefit of the Lender, (c) the Borrower has granted to the Lender a first priority security interest in the Collateral, and (d) the Depository Bank shall not disburse any funds from the Controlled Account except as provided herein. The Depository Bank hereby waives any right of offset, banker’s lien or similar rights against, or any assignment, security interest or other interest in, the Collateral.
V. REMEDIES
Section 5.1. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender may, in addition to any rights and remedies the Lender has under the Loan Agreement:
(a) without notice to the Borrower, except as required by law, and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Collateral against the Obligations or any part thereof;
(b) exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement, and/or as a secured party under the UCC and/or under any other applicable law; and
(c) demand, collect, take possession of, receive, instruct the Depository Bank to release, withdraw, settle, compromise, adjust, xxx for, foreclose or realize upon the Collateral (or any portion thereof) as the Lender may determine in its sole discretion.
111
Section 5.2. Waiver. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Loan Agreement, the Borrower hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind in connection with this Agreement or the Collateral. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or any other intended disposition thereof shall be reasonable and sufficient notice to the Borrower within the meaning of the UCC.
VI. MISCELLANEOUS
Section 6.1. Transfers and Other Liens. The Borrower agrees that it will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral or (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to all or any of the Collateral, except for the Lien granted under this Agreement.
Section 6.2. Lender’s Right to Perform Borrower’s Obligations; No Liability of Lender. If the Borrower fails to perform any of the covenants or obligations contained herein, and such failure shall continue for a period ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from the Lender, the Lender may itself perform, or cause performance of, such covenants or obligations, and the reasonable expenses of the Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower to the Lender. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or the Lender’s exercise of any of its rights or remedies hereunder, under the Loan Documents or otherwise at law or in equity, the Lender shall not be deemed to be a mortgagee-in-possession nor shall the Lender be subject to any liability with respect to the Collateral or otherwise based upon any claim of lender liability except to the extent that such loss or damage results from the Depository Bank’s, the Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 6.3. No Waiver. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and may be exercised independently or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any other right or remedy provided at law or in equity. No failure to exercise or delay by the Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or under the Loan Documents shall impair or prohibit the exercise of any such rights or remedies in the future or be deemed to constitute a waiver or limitation of any such right or remedy or acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy granted to the Lender hereunder or by law may be exercised by the Lender at any time and from time to time, and as often as the Lender may deem it expedient. Any and all of the Lender’s rights with respect to the lien and security interest granted hereunder shall continue unimpaired, and the Borrower shall be and remain obligated in accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding (a) any proceeding of the Borrower under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization laws or statutes of any state, (b) the release or substitution of Collateral at any time, or of any rights or interests therein (unless Borrower has paid in full all of the Obligations) or (c) any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by the Lender in the event of any default, with respect to the Collateral or otherwise hereunder. No delay or extension of time by the Lender in exercising any power of sale, option or other right or remedy hereunder, and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon the Borrower by the Lender, shall constitute a waiver of such power of sale, option or other right or
111
remedy, or limit, impair or prejudice the Lender’s right, without notice or demand, to take any action against the Borrower or to exercise any other power of sale, option or any other right or remedy.
Section 6.4. Expenses. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender and/or the Lender’s counsel within ten (10) Business Days of demand, from time to time, all reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and transfer, recording and filing fees, taxes and other charges) actually incurred by the Lender in connection with the creation or perfection of any lien or security interest granted hereby or in connection with the performance by the Depository Bank of its obligations under this Agreement. Standard and customary fees and charges associated with the Controlled Account shall be included on a monthly account analysis statement which the Depository Bank shall submit to the Borrower for the Borrower’s payment, which account analysis statements shall show all credits and debits to the Controlled Account for the reporting period covered by such statements. This statement shall set forth the fees and charges payable for such month for which the Depository Bank is entitled to reimbursement and shall be accompanied by reasonably detailed supporting documentation. If the Borrower fails to pay the fees and charges payable by the Borrower pursuant hereto the Depository Bank shall be entitled to charge the Controlled Account for such fees and expenses as indicated by the analysis statement.
Section 6.5. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire and final agreement between Depository Bank, on one hand, and Borrower and the Lender, on the other hand, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Borrower and the Lender will continue to be bound by the other Loan Documents as well. This Agreement may not be changed, terminated or otherwise varied, except by a writing duly executed by the parties.
Section 6.6. No Waiver. No waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement, whether by delay, omission or otherwise, shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party sought to be charged, and then such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Section 6.7. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Section 6.8. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, statements, authorizations, approvals, directions, consents and other communications provided for herein shall be given or made in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given or served for all purposes as of the date (a) when hand delivered (provided that delivery shall be evidenced by a receipt executed by or on behalf of the addressee), (b) three (3) days after being sent by postage pre-paid registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, (c) one (1) Business Day after being sent by reputable overnight courier service (with delivery evidenced by written receipt), or (d) when sent by facsimile, with confirmation and a copy sent by first class mail, in each case addressed to the intended recipient at the “Address for Notices” specified below; or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to each other party. The Borrower and the Depository Bank shall only be required to send notices, requests,
111
