Section 2.2 Interest; Loan Payments; Late Payment Charge.
2.2.1 Interest; Payments Generally. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan pursuant to the Note shall accrue at the Regular Interest Rate and shall be calculated in accordance with Section 2.2.2. A payment of interest from the Closing Date to and including July 31, 2016, shall be paid on the Closing Date calculated by multiplying the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which interest is being calculated by a daily rate based on the Regular Interest Rate and a 360-day year.

Each Monthly Payment shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America by automated clearing house transfer through such bank or financial institution as shall be approved in writing by Lender in Lender's reasonable discretion, shall be made to an account designated by Lender, or shall be made in such other manner as Lender may direct from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Any other monthly deposits or payments Borrower is required to make to Lender under the terms of the Loan Documents shall be made by the same payment method and on the same date as the Monthly Payment. Lender has the right, upon five (5) Business Days prior Notice to Borrower, to require a change in the method of payment. For purposes of making a Monthly Payment
-14-
hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating interest accrual periods, if the day on which such Monthly Payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately succeeding Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, with regard to the payment due on the Maturity Date or any other payment in full of the Indebtedness, the payment shall be made by Borrower in funds immediately available to Lender by 3:00 p.m., New York City time on the date such payment is due to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written Notice to Borrower.

Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law. This paragraph and paragraph 2.2.7 shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Indebtedness, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights under the Note to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Indebtedness upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.
2.2.7 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date on which it is due, excluding the payment of the Loan due at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, Borrower shall pay to Lender within five (5) days after demand the Late Charge in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the period that interest at the Default Rate is accruing upon amounts due under the Loan Documents, no Late Charges (other than Late Charges already assessed by Lender) shall be incurred by or assessed against Borrower.
2.2.8 Usury Savings. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity to the contrary, no provision contained herein
-15-
or therein which purports to obligate Borrower to pay any amount of interest or any fees, costs or expenses which are in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law, shall be effective to the extent it calls for the payment of any interest or other amount in excess of such maximum. All agreements between Borrower and Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of demand for payment or acceleration of the maturity hereof or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by Lender exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to Lender in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to Lender shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance Lender shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall, at the option of Lender, be refunded to Borrower or be applied to the reduction of the unpaid balance of the Loan Amount, without a Prepayment Premium and not to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of the Loan Amount such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. This paragraph shall control all agreements between Borrower and Lender.
Section 2.3 Prepayments.
2.3.1 Prepayment During the Open Period. Borrower shall not have the right or privilege to prepay all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Note until the Open Period, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 2.3.2.

2.3.3 Release on Payment in Full.

No voluntary or involuntary prepayment of anything less than the
-16-

is authorized to collect and to give receipts therefor. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if Borrower is not diligently pursuing the same.
Section 5.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender Notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Premises and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate with Borrower in any such proceedings to the extent that the Award therefrom is reasonably anticipated by Lender to exceed the Threshold Amount. Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. In all circumstances, the proceeds thereof shall be paid to Lender and Lender is authorized to collect and to give receipts therefor. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if Borrower is not diligently pursuing the same. Notwithstanding any Condemnation, Borrower shall continue to pay the Indebtedness at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Indebtedness shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Indebtedness. If a portion of the Premises is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Premises (to the extent that such Restoration is necessary) and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 5.4. If the Premises is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Indebtedness.
Section 5.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Premises:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be equal to or less than the Threshold Amount, and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be equal to or less than the Threshold Amount, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower for the Restoration (or in the case of a Condemnation where Restoration is not necessary, for Borrower's general business purposes) upon receipt, provided that no Event of Default then exists.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are greater than the Threshold Amount or the costs of completing the Restoration are greater than the Threshold Amount, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b). The term "Net Proceeds" shall mean: (x) the amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to the Policies described in Section 5.1 as a result of the Casualty, after deduction of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same ("Insurance Proceeds"), or (y) the amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable
-37-
counsel fees), if any, in collecting same ("Condemnation Proceeds"), whichever the case may be.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions is met, in Lender's discretion:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, the land constituting the Premises which is taken is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Premises, and no material portion of the Improvements is located on the condemned land or Lender has otherwise determined the Condemnation does not and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(C) Lease(s) in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation or Lease(s) obtained in substitution thereof (which otherwise satisfy the terms of this Agreement), whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be such that upon completion of the Restoration the DSC Ratio shall be at least equal to the lesser of: the DSC Ratio existing immediately prior to the Casualty or Condemnation or 1.0x;
(D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable, subject to delays for Force Majeure, but in no event later than the period of time required by any applicable Lease(s), REA, or any applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation, and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;
(E) Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled Monthly Payments, which will be incurred with respect to the Premises as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) other funds of Borrower;
(F) Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that the Restoration will be completed and the tenants will be in occupancy and open for business on or before the earliest to occur of (1) the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion/occupancy under the terms of any applicable Lease(s) or REA, (3) such time as may be
-38-
required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair and restore the Premises to substantially the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1(a)(iii) unless Borrower shall have provided to Lender additional security acceptable to Lender for rent loss interruption;
(G) the Premises and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance in all material respects with and permitted under all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, the Lease(s) and, if applicable, REA(s);
(H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in a reasonably expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of (i) permanent access to the Premises or the related Improvements unless substitute access reasonably satisfactory to Lender is available to the Premises or (ii) parking on the Premises unless substitute parking reasonably satisfactory to Lender is available to the Premises or such loss of parking does not and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and
(J) such other conditions to such disbursements, in Lender's reasonable discretion, as would be customarily required by a construction lender doing business in the area where the Premises is located and making loans secured by collateral similar to the Premises, including, without limitation, receipt of lien waivers for work performed.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Net Proceeds exceed the Threshold Amount, all Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Indebtedness and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed then to date (except to the extent that such materials, work and/or labor are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement, in which case Borrower shall submit invoices for such costs and expenses) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, (B) subject to the rights of contest set forth in this Agreement, there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic's or materialman's liens or notices of
-39-
intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Premises arising out of the Restoration unless the Contest Requirements have been satisfied, and (C) all terms and conditions of Section 5.4(b)(i) have been satisfied. Lender shall credit Borrower with interest on the Net Proceeds (and the Net Proceeds Deficiency, if cash and if applicable) pursuant to the Escrow Interest Calculation.
(iii) Lender must approve the plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration before such Restoration is commenced if the estimated cost of Restoration exceeds 25% of the Indebtedness or involves any structural changes or modifications, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(iv) Borrower must pay to Lender a non-refundable processing fee for disbursing the Net Proceeds equal to the greater of $5,000.00 or .25% of the amount of such Net Proceeds within sixty (60) days after Net Proceeds are received and before Lender disburses any Net Proceeds.
(v) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds (except as provided in Section 5.4(a) above) in excess of actual costs incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by Borrower, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term "Casualty Retainage" shall mean an amount equal to five percent (5%) (or such other amount reasonably determined by Lender) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by Borrower. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until Borrower certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been substantially completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Premises have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities and copies thereof delivered to Lender, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage which endorsement shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender.
(vi) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vii) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are reasonably estimated to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender the availability of sufficient funds of Borrower to satisfy such deficiency or, if Borrower is not able to so demonstrate, at Lender's election upon written Notice to Borrower, Borrower shall deposit the
-40-
deficiency in the form of cash, a letter of credit acceptable to Lender, or such other security acceptable to Lender (the "Net Proceeds Deficiency") with Lender not later than sixty (60) days after the date of said Notice and before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. Any Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender as additional security for the Loan and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 5.4(b), the Net Proceeds Deficiency shall constitute additional security for the Indebtedness and other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents.
(viii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender, after the Restoration has been substantially completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full and all work performed in connection with the Restoration has been completed, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Documents.
(c) To the extent any of the conditions for Restoration set forth in Section 5.4(b) above are not satisfied, Lender may elect to either (i) permit the Restoration to occur notwithstanding the fact that certain of such conditions for Restoration have not been satisfied (in which case Lender will make the Net Proceeds available as set forth above); or (ii) retain and apply the Net Proceeds toward the payment of the Indebtedness whether or not then due and payable, without Prepayment Premium or other prepayment penalty or premium so long as no Event of Default then exists, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper. If Lender elects item (i) of this paragraph above, after completion of the Restoration, any excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.4(b)(viii) shall be returned to Borrower. If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than Twenty-five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00) and Lender elects item (ii) above, Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may declare the entire Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable provided, however, that if no Event of Default then exists, no Prepayment Premium shall be due. Irrespective of whether any Event of Default then exists, if Lender elects option (ii) above and the Loan is in the Open Period, no Prepayment Premium or other prepayment penalty or premium shall be due and payable in connection with any partial or prepayment in full of the Indebtedness.
(d) Should a Casualty occur after foreclosure or sale proceedings have been instituted, the Insurance Proceeds, if not applied to Restoration, shall be used to pay (i) the Indebtedness then due and owing in the event of a non-judicial sale in such priority as Lender elects, or (ii) the amount due in accordance with any decree of foreclosure or deficiency judgment that may be entered in connection with such proceedings, and the
-41-
balance, if any, shall be paid to the owner of the equity of redemption if it shall then be entitled to the same, or otherwise as any court having jurisdiction may direct.
ARTICLE VI. RESERVE FUNDS
Section 6.1 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Following an Event of Default, Borrower shall deposit with Lender, on each Payment Date, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the sums calculated by Lender (plus a reasonable "cushion") for payment of: (i) the estimated annual taxes and assessments assessed or levied against the Premises, and (ii) the estimated annual premiums for property insurance required by the Loan Documents, excluding commercial general liability insurance (collectively, the "Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund"). Lender shall use the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to pay the taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, as applicable when the same become due; or, upon Borrower's prior written request (which must be received by Lender at least thirty (30) days prior to the pertinent due date of the taxes, assessments or insurance premiums, as applicable), reimburse Borrower in connection with Borrower's payment of taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, as applicable, upon receipt of written evidence of payment of same which is acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall timely procure and deliver to Lender, in advance of the due date, such statements, invoices or bills for such foregoing charges. If the total payments made by Borrower under this Section 6.1 exceed the amount of payments actually made by Lender for taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, such excess shall be credited by Lender on subsequent Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund deposits to be made by Borrower. If, however, the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is insufficient to pay the taxes, assessments and insurance premiums when the same shall be due and payable, Borrower will pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency, within three (3) Business Days after Lender has notified Borrower of such deficiency, but in all events prior to the date when payment of such taxes, assessments and insurance premiums shall be delinquent, subject to Borrower's right to contest any such taxes or assessments, provided the Contest Requirements are satisfied.
Section 6.2 Property Reserves Escrow Fund. To the extent applicable, Borrower shall deposit with Lender certain funds to be held by Lender as required by and in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1(b) hereof and Schedule IV attached hereto.
Section 6.3 Miscellaneous.
(a) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Indebtedness. Until disbursed, expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Indebtedness.
(b) In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from a Reserve Fund if an Event of Default shall exist. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of
-42-
any amounts or obligations then due under the Loan Documents or Environmental Indemnity in any order in its sole discretion (in the event Lender has accelerated the Loan, any such application of such sums to the payment of the Indebtedness shall require payment of a Prepayment Premium subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), apply such funds for the purposes for which they were held or hold such funds in a non-interest bearing account as additional security for the Loan; provided, however, that if there is an Event of Default resulting in a public sale of the Premises, or if Lender otherwise acquires the Premises after an Event of Default, Borrower shall be entitled to a credit of the tax portion of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund against any delinquent or accrued ad valorem taxes accrued or owing prior to the Conveyance Date with respect to the Premises.
(c) The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Nothing contained herein shall cause Lender to be deemed a trustee of any Letter of Credit, any renewal thereof or any proceeds therefrom.
(d) The Reserve Funds shall be held without any allowance for interest unless otherwise specifically set forth in Schedule IV attached hereto. If interest is allowed, all earnings of interest on a Reserve Fund shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund unless otherwise specified in Schedule IV.
(e) Upon satisfaction of the Mortgage, any amounts remaining in the Reserve Funds shall be promptly returned to Borrower.
(f) Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds provided that Lender has deposited the Reserve Funds with a Qualified Institution.
ARTICLE VII. DEFAULTS
Section 7.1 Events of Default.
(a) Each of the following events shall constitute an event of default hereunder (an "Event of Default"):
(i) failure to pay when due any principal, interest, Prepayment Premium or other Indebtedness, taxes or assessments or insurance premiums required pursuant to the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity, and such failure shall have continued for five (5) days; provided, however that Lender shall give Borrower written Notice specifying such default with respect to the first such default in any calendar year and any subsequent occurrence of such default in any calendar year shall constitute an Event of Default without Notice by Lender to Borrower; or
-43-
Notwithstanding the above, in the event that Borrower fails to pay on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Loan Documents, then an Event of Default shall immediately occur without Notice by Lender to Borrower.
Further notwithstanding the above, in the event that a failure to pay taxes or assessments or insurance premiums in excess of five (5) days after the due date results in (i) a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) a failure to comply with Section 5.1(a), or (iii) subject to Borrower's right to contest any such tax or assessment, provided the Contest Requirements are satisfied, the filing of a tax lien against the Premises, then an Event of Default shall occur without Notice by Lender to Borrower.
Further notwithstanding the above as it relates solely to taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, to the extent that a Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund has been established in accordance with Article VI of this Agreement and Borrower has fully complied with all terms and conditions of Article VI relating to same, then an Event of Default shall not occur for Lender's failure to apply any of said Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund amounts.
In no event shall Borrower's failure to pay when due any principal, interest, Prepayment Premium or other Indebtedness, taxes or assessments or insurance premiums required pursuant to the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity be subject to Force Majeure.
(ii) Borrower, Interest Owner or Guarantor admits in writing its inability to pay its debts or voluntarily brings or acquiesces to any of the following: (A) any action for dissolution, act of dissolution or dissolution or the like of Borrower, Interest Owner(s) or any Guarantor under the Federal Bankruptcy Code as now or hereafter constituted; (B) the filing of a petition or answer proposing the adjudication of Borrower, Interest Owner(s) or any Guarantor as a bankrupt or its reorganization or arrangement, or any composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief with respect to it pursuant to any present or future federal or state bankruptcy or similar law; (C) the appointment by order of a court of competent jurisdiction of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of the Premises or any part thereof or of Borrower, Interest Owner(s) or any Guarantor or of substantially all of the assets of Borrower, Interest Owner or any Guarantor; or (D) a transfer in fraud of creditors or an assignment for the benefit of creditors, subject to the rights granted Borrower to replace any such Guarantor pursuant to subparagraph (viii) below; or
(iii) one or more of the items set forth in the foregoing subparagraph (ii) above occur which were not either voluntarily brought or acquiesced in by Borrower, Interest Owner(s) or any Guarantor, and which are not
-44-
discharged or dismissed within ninety (90) days after the action, filing or appointment, as the case may be; or
With respect to the matters in subparagraph (ii) above and this subparagraph (iii) for an Interest Owner(s) only, no Event of Default shall occur until a claim or right is asserted against Borrower or the Premises which delays or otherwise adversely affects Lender's rights, remedies, or interests granted under the Loan Documents (whether or not such assertion is successful).
(iv) with respect to the matters not described in any other subparagraphs of this section, failure to duly observe or perform or the breach of any covenant, condition or agreement of the Borrower or any Guarantor contained in the Loan Documents or in the Environmental Indemnity, and such failure shall have continued for thirty (30) days after Notice specifying such failure is given by Lender to Borrower, subject to the rights granted Borrower to replace any such Guarantor pursuant to subparagraph (viii) below; or
If any failure to observe or perform under this subparagraph (iv) shall be of such nature that it cannot be cured or remedied within thirty (30) days, Borrower and/or Guarantor shall be entitled to a reasonable concurrent period of time to cure or remedy such failure (not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days following the giving of Notice), provided Borrower and/or Guarantor commences the cure or remedy thereof within the thirty (30) day period following the giving of Notice and thereafter proceeds with diligence, as determined by Lender, to complete such cure or remedy.
(v) the failure of Borrower to duly observe or perform or the breach of any of the covenants, conditions and agreements of the Borrower contained in Section 4.2.3 of this Agreement or in Section 3.1 of the Mortgage and to cure such failure within ten (10) days following Borrower's receipt of Notice of such failure; provided, however, that Borrower shall only be granted said ten (10) day cure period if (1) the failure to observe or perform is a curable event, (2) the Transfer does not have a Material Adverse Effect, and (3) the granting of said cure period will not have a Material Adverse Effect as reasonably determined by Lender; or
(vi) any representation (other than fraud or willful misrepresentation) when made by or on behalf of Borrower, Interest Owner(s) or any Guarantor regarding the Premises, the making or delivery of any of the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity or in any written information provided by or on behalf of Borrower, Interest Owner(s) or any Guarantor in connection with the Loan shall prove to be untrue or inaccurate and in Lender's reasonable determination, such untruth or inaccuracy has a Material Adverse Effect; or
-45-
(vii) fraud or willful misrepresentation by or on behalf of Borrower, Interest Owner(s) or any Guarantor regarding the Premises, the making or delivery of any of the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity or in any written information provided by or on behalf of Borrower, Interest Owner(s) or any Guarantor in connection with the Loan; or
(viii) subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the death or incapacitation of any Guarantor (or any Person(s) who is personally liable for any obligation under the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity) or any other Event of Default occurs with respect to Guarantor under the foregoing clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (vii) (such Guarantor, a "Defaulting Guarantor") unless (a) the remaining Guarantor(s), if any, have a net worth or an aggregate net worth, as the case may be, equal to or greater than an amount equal to: the net worth of said remaining Guarantor(s) as of the Closing Date plus the net worth of the decedent or incapacitated Guarantor or Defaulting Guarantor, as applicable, as of the Closing Date and affirm in writing the continued joint and several liability under the Guaranty within ninety (90) days of the death or incapacitation of, or Event of Default attributable to, such Guarantor, (b) a substitute Guarantor(s) having an interest in Borrower and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender having a net worth or an aggregate net worth, as the case may be, equal to or greater than the net worth of the decedent or incapacitated Guarantor or Defaulting Guarantor, as applicable, as of the Closing Date shall become liable by an assumption agreement acceptable to Lender within ninety (90) days of the death or incapacitation of, or Event of Default attributable to, such Guarantor, (c) the remaining Guarantor(s) and a substitute Guarantor(s) having interest in Borrower and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender collectively have a net worth or an aggregate net worth, as the case may be, equal to or greater than an amount equal to: the net worth of said remaining Guarantor(s) as of the Closing Date plus the net worth of the decedent or incapacitated Guarantor, or Defaulting Guarantor, as applicable as of the Closing Date and affirm in writing the joint and several liability under the Guaranty within ninety (90) days of the death or incapacitation of, or Event of Default attributable to, such Guarantor (Lender must receive a background and credit check and an OFAC report, both acceptable to Lender and at Borrower's cost, for any substitute Guarantor(s)); or (d) Borrower provides additional collateral for the Loan to Lender's reasonable satisfaction; or
(ix) the failure of Borrower to comply with the provisions of the Required Entity Status and to cure such failure to comply within ten (10) days following Borrower's receipt of Notice from Lender of such failure; provided, however, that Borrower shall only be granted said ten (10) day cure period if the failure to maintain the Required Entity Status is a curable event and the granting of said cure period will not have a Material Adverse Effect as reasonably determined by Lender; or
-46-
(x) the failure of Borrower to duly observe, perform or satisfy the obligations of the Borrower contained in Section 3.1.9 of this Agreement or the failure of Guarantor, if any, to duly observe, perform or satisfy the obligations of Guarantor contained in paragraphs 5(e)-(h) of the Guaranty;
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, in each and every such case, the whole of the principal balance of the Loan shall, at the option of the Lender and without further notice to Borrower, become immediately due and payable together with accrued interest thereon, a Prepayment Premium (unless the Loan term is in the Open Period) and all other Indebtedness, and whether or not Lender has exercised said option, interest shall accrue on the entire principal balance of the Loan and any accrued interest, Prepayment Premium or other Indebtedness then due, at the Default Rate until fully paid or if Lender has not exercised said option, for the duration of any Event of Default. Borrower agrees that if Lender accelerates the whole or any part of the principal balance of the Loan after the occurrence of an Event of Default but prior to the Open Period, Borrower waives any right to prepay the principal sum hereby secured in whole or in part without premium and agrees to pay, as yield maintenance protection and not as a penalty, the Prepayment Premium.
Section 7.2 Remedies. To the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, Lender shall have the rights and remedies afforded under applicable law and hereunder, in the Mortgage, the Environmental Indemnity and the other Loan Documents, including acceleration.
Section 7.3 Payment of Costs; Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.
(a) Borrower agrees that all reasonable costs, charges and expenses, including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred or expended by Trustee or Lender arising out of or in connection with (i) any default, breach or failure by Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) servicing of the Loan (other than routine loan servicing performed in the ordinary course of business and for the performance of which Lender is not routinely reimbursed by other borrowers in the ordinary course of Lender's business), including administrative or service fees assessed by Lender pursuant to a Borrower consent request, or (iii) the exercise, enforcement, compromise, defense, litigation, or settlement of any of Lender's rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or relating to the Loan or the Indebtedness, including any action, proceeding or hearing, legal, equitable or quasi-legal, in any way affecting or pertaining to the Loan Documents, the Environmental Indemnity, or the Premises, shall be promptly paid by Borrower upon written Notice from Lender. All such sums not promptly paid by Borrower shall be added to the Indebtedness secured hereby and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of such advance until paid and shall be due and payable on demand.
(b) Borrower hereby agrees that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the Indebtedness, to the full extent that such rights can be lawfully waived, Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to insist upon, plead, or in any
-47-
manner take advantage of, any rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, notice of acceleration, any stay of execution, extension, exemption, homestead, marshaling or moratorium law or any law providing for the valuation or appraisement of all or any part of the Premises prior to any sale or sales thereof under any provision of the Mortgage or before or after any decree, judgment or order of any court or confirmation thereof, or claim or exercise any right to redeem all or any part of the Premises so sold and hereby expressly waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law on behalf of itself and each and every Person acquiring any right, title or interest in or to all or any part of the Premises, all benefit and advantage of any such laws which would otherwise be available to Borrower or any such Person, and agrees that neither Borrower nor any such Person will invoke or utilize any such law to otherwise hinder, delay or impede the exercise of any remedy granted or delegated to Lender herein but will permit the exercise of such remedy as though any such laws had not been enacted. Borrower hereby further expressly waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law on behalf of itself and each and every Person acquiring any right, title or interest in or to all or any part of the Premises any and all rights of redemption from any sale or any order or decree of foreclosure obtained pursuant to provisions of the Mortgage.
(c) All rights and remedies granted to Trustee or Lender in the Loan Documents shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any rights and remedies to which it is entitled in equity, at law or by statute, and the invalidity of any right or remedy herein provided by reason of its conflict with applicable law or statute shall not affect any other valid right or remedy afforded to Trustee or Lender. No waiver of any default or Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents shall at any time thereafter be held to be a waiver of any rights of the Trustee or Lender hereunder, nor shall any waiver of a prior Event of Default or default operate to waive any subsequent Event of Default or default. All remedies provided for in the Loan Documents are cumulative and may, at the election of Lender, be exercised alternatively, successively or concurrently. No act of Trustee or Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision or to proceed against one portion of the Premises to the exclusion of any other portion.
ARTICLE VIII. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS
Section 8.1 License to Collect Rents.
(a) Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage, Borrower has appointed Lender the true and lawful attorney of Borrower with full power of substitution and with power for it and in its name, place and stead, to demand, collect, and give receipts and releases for any and all assigned Rents effective upon an Event of Default. The terms of the Utah Uniform Assignment of Rents Act are incorporated herein by reference, with the parties acknowledging that the assignment contained therein is a present and absolute assignment and not a collateral assignment of Borrower's interest in the Rents (as defined herein and within the meaning of the Utah Uniform Assignment of Rents Act, Utah Code Annotated Section 00-00-000, et seq.) described therein. Prior to
-48-
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender hereby grants to Borrower the revocable license to enforce all provisions contained in the Lease(s) and collect and use all Rents, as the same become due and payable, but in any event for not more than one calendar month in advance, provided, however, Borrower's use of such Rents shall be subject to the Recourse Obligations. Such license shall not be applicable to any Extraordinary Rental Payments, all of which shall be paid directly to Lender. Lender shall be entitled to hold Extraordinary Rental Payments it receives in an account as additional security for the Note and the funds shall be governed by the terms set forth below. Borrower shall render such accounts of collections as Lender may reasonably require. The license herein granted to Borrower shall be revoked immediately and automatically, without further action or documentation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default; and upon written notice of an Event of Default at any time hereafter given by Lender to any lessee, all Rents thereafter payable and all agreements and covenants thereafter to be performed by any such lessee shall be paid and performed by such lessee directly to Lender in the same manner as if the above license had not been granted, without prosecution of any legal or equitable remedies under the Mortgage. Any lessee of the Premises or any part thereof is authorized and directed to pay to Borrower any Rent herein assigned currently for not more than one calendar month in advance, but shall make all Extraordinary Rental Payments to Lender and any payment so made, other than Extraordinary Rental Payments, prior to receipt by such lessee of the aforementioned notice shall constitute a full acquittance to lessee therefore. In the event Lender has revoked Borrower's license to collect Rents upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and Lender, in Lender's sole discretion, elects to waive said Event of Default, then provided no Event of Default subsequently occurs, any Rents (other than Extraordinary Rental Payments) collected by Lender which are in excess of those applied to pay in full any Monthly Payment(s) and any deposit(s) of Reserve Funds then due from Borrower under the terms of the Loan Documents and/or any requirements resulting as a condition to any waiver by Lender of the Event of Default shall be promptly paid to Borrower.

Property Reserves Escrow Fund
1. Property Reserves. Borrower has agreed to deposit with Lender funds and letter of credit(s), if any (if more than one, collectively if the context so requires the "Letter of Credit") as detailed below ("Property Reserves Escrow Fund") to be held by Lender: (i) to reimburse Borrower for the costs of (a) certain future tenant improvements which are to be borne by Borrower in accordance with approved Lease(s) of space at the Premises ("Tenant Improvements") and certain future reasonable leasing commissions to be paid to third party brokers by Borrower pursuant to written agreements covering leasing activities at the Premises ("Leasing Commissions") and (b) rent abatement granted to Extra Space Management ("Rent Abatement") as set forth below. The funds as well as any Letter of Credit and any renewal or replacement thereof and any proceeds therefrom shall be held by Lender as additional security for the Loan and are hereafter referred to as the "Property Reserves". The term "Escrow Release" as used herein shall refer to a disbursement of funds and/or a reduction of a Letter of Credit, if any, as applicable, from the Property Reserves.
a. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the Rent Abatement in the amount of _________________________________ ($_________) which is the amount for the remaining rent abatement granted to Extra Space Management. Said amount is equal to the monthly base rent plus reimbursements commencing on September 1, 2016 times the number of months remaining until the month in which full rental payments commence under the Extra Space Management lease. Lender agrees the Rent Abatement amount may be reduced by Borrower paying all or a portion of such rental abatements to Extra Space Management after the Closing Date.
b. In the event Lender has not received evidence acceptable to Lender on or prior to September 30, 2020 (12 months prior to the SanDisk lease expiration date) that SanDisk has agreed (pursuant to a lease, or lease amendment) to renew its lease or enter into a new lease reasonably acceptable to Lender for not less than 76,600 square feet of space at the Premises, then commencing on October 1, 2020, Borrower shall deposit with Lender on each Payment Date an amount to be reasonably determined by Lender at that time equal to the projected net cash flow for the following twelve (12) months (to be no less than $25 and no more than $45 times the number of square feet not renewed by SanDisk, the "Combined Rate") to reimburse Borrower for the cost to complete any Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions for the space vacated by SanDisk and the SanDisk renewal space (if applicable) and any other space in the Improvements.
2. Borrower shall deliver to Lender not later than 30 days prior to the expiration date of any Letter of Credit and any renewal or replacement Letter of Credit, a renewal or replacement unconditional, irrevocable bank Letter of Credit identical in terms and amount and issued by a rated United States bank acceptable to Lender. If Borrower shall fail to deliver any
-2-
renewal or replacement Letter of Credit in accordance with the foregoing requirements, Lender may, in its discretion, draw upon any Letter of Credit then in its possession and hold such proceeds in accordance with the terms hereof.
Lender reserves the right to periodically review the financial condition of the issuing bank for any Letter of Credit and any renewal or replacement Letter of Credit and if Lender determines that the issuing bank no longer satisfies the criteria set forth above, Lender may require a replacement Letter of Credit in form and substance and from a rated United States bank acceptable to Lender.
3. Standard Disbursement Requirements. The following shall be defined as "Standard Disbursement Requirements":
(i) copies of unconditional lien waivers or conditional (if applicable), invoices, cancelled checks, etc. for work completed which is the subject of the Escrow Release request. If the Escrow Release request is for payment upon submission of invoice(s) and not on a reimbursement basis, Lender shall receive conditional lien waivers, provided, however, that prior to any subsequent Escrow Release, Lender shall receive unconditional lien waivers for all work that was the subject of the prior Escrow Release. The administration fee shall be reasonably increased if the Escrow Release is for payment upon submission of invoice(s) and not on a reimbursement basis;
(ii) a title search in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender and if such search discloses conditions unacceptable to Lender or Lender deems it reasonably necessary, then such endorsements or other assurances reasonably satisfactory to Lender from the title insurance company insuring the continued first lien priority of the Mortgage;
(iii) to the extent Lender deems reasonably necessary, any or all of the following at Lender's discretion: (A) all permits, bonds, licenses and approvals, whether necessary for commencement, performance, completion, occupancy, use or otherwise required by any applicable laws for the stage of work so completed; (B) a copy of the construction contract and any change orders and addenda thereto; (C) a statement from an architect, contractor or engineering consultant, in Lender's reasonable discretion, as to the extent and cost of the work so completed; and/or (D) other evidence as reasonably determined by Lender showing that Borrower has completed and performed the portion of the work which is the subject of the Escrow Release request; and
(iv) Lender having inspected, or having expressly waived in writing such inspection, and approved the completed portion of the work which is the subject of the Escrow Release request.
4. Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions.
-3-
a. Except as hereinafter provided and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan Documents, Lender shall allow Escrow Release(s) in the amounts hereinafter specified in accordance with the following terms and conditions:
(i) Escrow Release(s) for Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions shall be for an amount equal to the Combined Rate; provided, however, that in the event that the lease term is less than five (5) years, the Combined Rate shall be prorated (example, a three year lease = 3/5 times the Combined Rate);
(ii) Borrower shall submit written Escrow Release(s) requests to Lender for Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions no more than once per calendar month and each such request shall be for an aggregate amount of not less than $50,000 (excluding the final disbursement); and
(iii) Escrow Release(s) shall be conditioned upon Borrower furnishing to Lender with its written request, at Lender's discretion, the Standard Disbursement Requirements and the following:
(A) fully executed lease(s) or fully executed amendments extending upcoming term expirations of previously approved existing Lease(s) (which existing Lease(s) must not be in default beyond any applicable notice and cure period at the time of the Escrow Release request), as the case may be, all in form and substance acceptable to Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to creditworthy lessees (other than Borrower or any Person(s) affiliated with Borrower) and with minimum lease terms of three (3) years;
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event a new lease or amendment to an existing Lease requires Borrower's payment of tenant improvement and leasing commissions, Borrower shall advise Lender whether Borrower desires to make a request for an Escrow Release for Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions. Borrower is hereby advised that Lender's approval of any such new lease or amendment may take into consideration the economic feasibility of a release of such funds in relation to the value of the lease, creditworthiness of the lessee and/or acceptability of the lease terms and Lender's approval of such new lease or amendment to an existing Lease may be conditioned on Borrower's agreement to a partial Escrow Release or no Escrow Release for said new lease or Lease amendment. In the event that a partial Escrow Release or no Escrow Release applies to a particular tenant space, any funds allocated to Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions for said tenant space may be available for an Escrow Release for other tenant space (or future
-4-
rollover of said tenant space) upon Borrower's written request and compliance with the terms and conditions of this Schedule IV.
(B) with respect to any Escrow Release request relating to final and completed Tenant Improvements for a lessee's space, lessee's estoppel certificate(s) for the improved space in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender indicating, among other things, the lessee's occupancy and unconditional acceptance of the improvements and the commencement of consecutive monthly rental payments, all rental concessions and deferments having expired;
(C) with respect to any Escrow Release request relating to final and completed Tenant Improvements for a lessee's space, a final, unconditional certificate of occupancy (or equivalent occupancy approval) for the improved space from the local authority responsible for issuing such certificate (unless not required to be issued by said local authority); and
(D) with respect to any Escrow Release request relating to payment of Leasing Commissions, Borrower having furnished to Lender an estoppel or letter, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, from the applicable broker or agent evidencing payment in full of the commission, or, in Lender's discretion, such other documentation acceptable to Lender.
5. Rent Abatement. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan documents, Lender will disburse to Borrower (i) on a monthly basis an amount equal to the base rent plus reimbursements for the month prior to the applicable disbursement except that prior to the final disbursement Borrower shall have provided Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that Extra Space Management has commenced paying full rent under its lease, and (ii) on a monthly basis an amount equal to any amounts paid by Borrower to Extra Space Management in satisfaction of such rent abatement during any prior month. A lease amendment detailing any reduction in rental abatements for Extra Space Management will be provided by Borrower.
6. Loan to Value Requirement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall Lender allow an Escrow Release if the outstanding Indebtedness on the Loan equals or exceeds ninety percent (90%) of the appraised value of the Premises as calculated by Lender at the time of the request for the Escrow Release (Lender shall include recently signed Lease(s) in connection with its determination of the appraised value including if a Tenant Improvement and Leasing Commission Escrow Release request, Lender shall consider the consummation of the proposed Lease or Lease amendment in connection with its determination of the appraised value and such valuation will be done on a discounted cash flow basis over a ten (10) year holding period).
-5-
7. Interest on Property Reserves. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under any of the Loan Documents, Lender shall credit Borrower with interest earnings on the cash portion of the Property Reserves, (excluding however any cash proceeds resulting from Lender having drawn on any Letter of Credit or any renewal or replacement thereof) pursuant to the Escrow Interest Calculation. Any interest earnings shall be disbursed to Borrower with the final disbursement of the Property Reserves.
8. Administration/Inspection Fee. Lender shall be entitled to charge Borrower a reasonable processing fee for administering and reviewing each Escrow Release. Lender shall also be entitled to charge Borrower reasonable processing fees both for reviewing any renewal or replacement Letter of Credit which Borrower is required to provide as well as for drawing upon any Letter of Credit held pursuant to the terms hereof. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of all costs, fees and charges in connection with any reduction, renewal or replacement of the Letter of Credit which are assessed by the issuing bank. Additionally, Lender shall be entitled to charge Borrower for any reasonable costs incurred by Lender in inspecting the Premises.
9. Cost Overruns. In the event that the costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in completing any work which is the subject of this Schedule IV exceed the respective amounts allocated by Lender for such items of expense, Borrower shall be responsible for the payment (from sources other than the Property Reserves) of such excess costs and expenses.
10. Obligations of Lender. Nothing contained in this Schedule IV shall be construed to (a) make Lender responsible for performing or completing the work which is the subject of the Property Reserves Escrow Fund, (b) require Lender to expend sums to complete the work which is the subject of the Property Reserves Escrow Fund which are in excess of such amounts then allocated by Lender for such items, or (c) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to complete the work which is the subject of the Property Reserves Escrow Fund.
