A Lightstone Property shall be deemed to have been Taken in substantial part if the portion thereof remaining after the Taking cannot practically and economically be restored so as to be suitable for the use to which the Lightstone Property in question was being put at the time of the Taking. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.3(a), in no event shall Borrower be obligated to prepay more than the then outstanding principal balance under the Loan. (b) Borrower may prepay the Loan, in whole but not in part, upon or at any time after the repayment of the First Mortgage on its original or any extended maturity date upon at least forty-five (45) days notice to Lender and the payment to Lender of the Exit Fee computed as provided in Section 4.3(d) simultaneously with such prepayment. (c) Borrower may prepay the Loan, in whole but not in part, upon at least forty-five (45) days prior notice to Lender if (i) none of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx are then executive officers of Lender, and (ii) Borrower shall make payment to Lender, simultaneously with prepayment of the Loan, of all accrued and unpaid Interest and the Exit Fee computed as provided in Section 4.3(d).

thereon, an “Exit Fee” in the amount of three percent (3%) of the Principal so paid, provided, however, that if and to the extent that Principal is paid on the Maturity Date, or a prepayment is required as a result of a Lightstone Property Sale and there have been no material Events of Default during the Term of the Loan with respect to payments of Interest, or prepayment is required as a result of the Taking of a Lightstone Property in whole or in substantial part, then the Exit Fee shall be waived by Lender and shall not be payable by Borrower. (e) No prepayment, in whole or in part, however occurring, shall affect in any way the rights or status of Lender’s Affiliate as a member of Borrower. 4.4 Acceleration Upon Allegation of Invalidity of Interest, Etc.. In the event that Borrower, either Lightstone Property Owner, or any of their Affiliates, or any third party claiming through or under any of them, shall at any time assert or shall take any action the effect of which is to assert that any Interest or Principal is invalid or that the payment of any of the Indebtedness in accordance herewith is unlawful or can be delayed or abridged for any reason whatsoever, Lender shall have the right and option immediately to accelerate the Maturity Date. In the event that Lender shall exercise such right and option to accelerate the Maturity Date, the Principal, all Interest, and all other Indebtedness or sums due from Borrower to Lender pursuant to the terms of the Note, this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable in full immediately upon receipt by Borrower of the notice of acceleration from Lender.

(c) It has not, and no Lightstone Property Owner has, received a notice to the effect that execution and delivery or performance of the Loan Documents, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or compliance with the provisions hereof and thereof, does or will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the provisions of any Legal Requirements or applicable license, permit, statute, ordinance, law, judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any court, administrative agency or other governmental authority, or of any determination or award of any arbitrator, or of any agreement or instrument to which Borrower or the Lightstone Property Owners is or are a party or by which they or either of the Lightstone Properties is bound, or constitute a default under any thereof, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon either of the Lightstone Properties or any of the ownership interests pledged to Lender by the Pledge Agreements. (d) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened against either of the Lightstone Properties, Borrower or either Lightstone Property Owner, by or before any court, administrative agency or other governmental authority or any arbitrator that would have a material, adverse effect on the Loan. Neither Borrower nor either Lightstone Property Owner is a party to, and neither of the Lightstone Properties is bound by, any agreement or other instrument, other than the Permitted Exceptions, or, to the best of its knowledge, subject to any license, permit, statute, ordinance, law, judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any court, administrative agency or other governmental authority, or any determination or award of any arbitrator, which might materially adversely affect the Loan.

(j) To the best of its knowledge, the Lightstone Properties are zoned for use in the manner in which they are used and conform in all material respects to all existing zoning, building and other Legal Requirements, and the operation of the Lightstone Properties is not as to any of them in material violation of any Legal Requirements, Certificates of Occupancy or other permits, and no notice has been received from any governmental authority or other Person claiming a material violation of any Legal Requirements, Certificates of Occupancy or other permits. To the best of its knowledge, neither the zoning of either Lightstone Property nor any right to use either Lightstone Property is to any material extent dependent upon or related to any real estate other than such Lightstone Property. (k) No Bankruptcy Event has ever occurred with respect to Borrower or either of the Lightstone Property Owners. (l) Borrower has or may have heretofore provided to Lender: certain financial statements; copies of appraisals of the Lightstone Properties; copies of so-called Phase I environmental reports on the Lightstone Properties; property condition reports for the Lightstone Properties; certain service agreements applicable to the Lightstone Properties; copies of loan commitments and loan documents for the First Mortgage and certain other documents and statements pertaining to the Lightstone Properties (the materials above referred to in this subparagraph (l) along with rent rolls and other tenant information provided to Wachovia and/or attached to or otherwise made part of the Wachovia loan documentation herein being referred to as the “Financial Information).” The information set forth in the Financial Information is, to the best knowledge of Borrower, true, correct and complete in all material respects.

To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all of the Occupancy Leases listed in said rent rolls are binding upon the Lightstone Property Owners and the tenants thereunder and are in full force and effect. |
Neither Borrower nor either Lightstone Property Owner has pledged, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered any of the Occupancy Leases or any interest therein except as collateral security for the First Mortgage. Based upon appropriate certifications and estoppel certificates, with exceptions which in the aggregate would not have a material adverse effect on the Loan, except as otherwise disclosed to Lender in writing or reflected in the Financial Information, (i) the rent under and as set forth in each of the Occupancy Leases is being collected on a current basis and in accordance with the terms of such Occupancy Leases, and there is no default or event of default which exists or is alleged to exist under any of the Occupancy Leases, (ii) no default or event of default by any tenant thereunder exists, and there has been no occurrence which upon notice and/or the passage of time or otherwise would result in the occurrence of an event of default thereunder, (iii) no tenant under any of the Occupancy Leases is entitled to rental concessions or abatements with respect to rental or additional rental payable for any period, (iv) no brokerage or other commission is due with respect to any of the Occupancy Leases which has not been paid, and no brokerage or other commissions shall become due or payable by Borrower or either Lightstone Property Owner with the passage of time or the exercise by any tenant under any Occupancy Lease of any renewal or expansion option thereunder, and (v) there are no currently existing disputes between Borrower or either Lightstone Property Owner (or, to the best of its knowledge, any predecessor landlord under any Occupancy Lease) and any tenant under any of the Occupancy Leases with respect to the computation of any rent, additional rent, incentive rent, tenant reimbursements or any other amounts payable by any such tenant under any of the Occupancy Leases. (m) There is access for ingress and egress to and from the Lightstone Properties to public streets or roadways, pursuant to valid easements or other valid means, the Lightstone Property Owners’ rights to such access are not subject to any interference or obstruction, and neither Borrower nor either Lightstone Property Owner has any knowledge of any fact or condition which would result in the termination of such access as to either of the Lightstone Properties. None |
of the Permitted Exceptions materially interferes with or has materially interfered with the maintenance, use, operation or enjoyment of either of the Lightstone Properties. ARTICLE SEVEN 7.1 Additional Covenants by Borrower. (a) Borrower promptly shall notify Lender of any (i) occurrence, event, or condition (including, but not limited to, any pending or threatened suit or proceeding by or before any court, administrative agency or other governmental authority or any arbitrator), (ii) the enactment of any statute, ordinance or law, of which Borrower shall receive written notice and (iii) the giving of any notice or other communication by any party pursuant to any other agreement relating to the ownership, use, or operation of either of the Lightstone Properties which, individually or in the aggregate, would or could have a material, adverse effect on the Loan.

lien of the First Mortgage, or a mortgage resulting from a Refinancing Event, shall not be a default hereunder unless and until the same condition, circumstance or management practice has been asserted by the holder of such First Mortgage, or mortgage resulting from a Refinancing Event, to be a default thereunder. (g) Borrower shall not enter into or permit the consummation of any transaction with respect to either Lightstone Property with an Affiliate of Borrower, of Xxxxxxxxxxxx or of either Lightstone Property Owner without the prior written consent of Lender which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but no such consent shall be needed for transactions which are commercially reasonable and at rates and terms, including, without limitation, prices that are competitive with terms offered by other providers of similar goods and services to similar properties in the County in which the Lightstone Property or Lightstone Properties are located.

Without the prior written consent of Lender, the certificate of formation and operating agreement of Borrower and the Lightstone Property Owners shall not be amended or supplemented, and no equity interests or voting rights in any of them shall be changed, except for such technical amendments of any thereof as shall be required for compliance with applicable law and then only after twenty (20) days prior notice to Lender. |

Lender covenants that as long as no Event of Default shall have occurred under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, and be continuing, Lender shall not assign the Note or any of Lender’s rights under the Note, this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents to any other Person prior to the Maturity Date. 7.3 Certain Sources and Uses of Funds. Lender, Borrower and the Lightstone Property Owners acknowledge their collective intention that (except to the extent, if at all, prohibited by the |
First Mortgage, or mortgages resulting from Refinancing Events) cash flow from each of the Lightstone Properties shall be considered fungible for all purposes of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents so that, for example, if at any time there shall not be cash flow available from one Lightstone Property (“Property A”) to pay Impositions with regard thereto, or to keep the required insurance in effect with regard thereto, or to maintain Property A in good repair, and if at such time, there shall be a surplus of cash flow from the other Lightstone Property (“Property B”), it is intended that such surplus shall be used to meet the requirements of Property A, provided that so doing shall not be a default under the First Mortgage, or a mortgage on Property B resulting from a Refinancing Event. ARTICLE EIGHT 8.1 Closing Costs. Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement, including, but not limited to, the fees, expenses and disbursements of Lender’s counsel, and a loan commitment fee of Thirty Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($37,500) and all other reasonable costs and expenses, including but not limited to, the costs of surveys, title insurance premiums and fees and stamp, transfer or other taxes or fees, incurred by or on behalf of Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE NINE 9.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties; Binding Effect; Indemnity.

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties in the Loan Agreement and in such certificates and other instruments shall bind the party making the same and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each party to whom |
made and its successors and assigns (subject to and in accordance with the non- recourse provisions set forth in Section 14.9 hereof).

(i) | Borrower shall default in the payment of any installment of Interest or any other Indebtedness under the Loan Documents, when and as the same becomes due and payable and such nonpayment continues for a period of ten (10) business days after notice thereof from Lender; or | |
(ii) | This Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, or the transaction of which they are a part, or the enforcement of any right of Lender or any obligation of Borrower and/or either of the Lightstone Property Owners, creates an event of default under the First Mortgage or any mortgage resulting from a Refinancing Event; or |
(iii) | There shall occur an event of default under the First Mortgage, or any mortgage resulting from a Refinancing Event, except that a default under the First Mortgage, or any mortgage resulting from a Refinancing Event, shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement only if (a) such default is a default for sixty (60) days or more in payment when due of principal and/or interest under the First Mortgage, or mortgage resulting from a Refinancing Event, or (b) the holder of the First Mortgage, or mortgage resulting from a Refinancing Event, has commenced an action to foreclose the lien thereof; or | |
(iv) | any of the representations and warranties set forth herein, in any other Loan Document or in any certificate executed and delivered by Borrower or Xxxxxxxxxxxx to Lender shall not be true and correct in all material respects or shall be knowingly and materially misleading when made, or there shall be any default in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions hereof, or in any other Loan Document, other than in the payment of Interest or any payment of the Principal of the Loan or any other Indebtedness under the Loan Documents, and such default shall continue for more than twenty (20) business days after Lender shall have given written notice thereof to Borrower, unless any such default cannot be cured by payment of a sum of money and Borrower shall within such period commence and continue to prosecute with due diligence and dispatch the curing of such default; or | |
(v) | Borrower shall (a) fail to pay or cause all Impositions and any fines, penalties, interest or costs added thereto, or (b) fails to maintain or cause to be maintained in good standing the insurance policies required pursuant to the terms hereof for a period of ten (10) days after notice thereof from Lender; or |

then, and in any such Event of Default, Lender at any time thereafter may give Borrower a Notice of such Event of Default, and if such Event of Default is not cured within twenty (20) business days after receipt of such Notice, then, at any time thereafter: |
(a) | Lender may declare the Principal, Interest and any other Indebtedness outstanding under the Note and the other Loan Documents to be immediately due and payable; provided, however that if and as long as the only uncured Event of Default shall be in the timely payment of an installment of Interest on the Loan, and if (i) no default or event of default shall have occurred under the First Mortgage or any other mortgage resulting from a Refinancing Event whether or not subject to a grace period and opportunity to cure and whether or not the holder of the First Mortgage or such other mortgage shall have given any notice or taken any other action with regard thereto, and (ii) there shall be no other default under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document which, with the passage of a period of time or the giving of a notice, or |
both, would become an Event of Default, then Lender shall not take action to enforce Lender’s rights under the Pledge Agreement against the Pledged Collateral thereby unless and until such Event of Default has been an Event of Default for a period of one (1) year. | |
(b) | subject to the proviso in the preceding clause (ii), Lender may pursue any and all of its remedies, provided for under law and in equity and any or all of the Loan Documents |
10.2 Costs; Right to Cure. All costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) resulting from any default by Borrower and/or either Lightstone Property Owner under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall be paid by Borrower. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any such default. Borrower and the Lightstone Property Owners hereby appoint Lender as their true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to take any such action and to cure any such defaults in the name and on behalf of such Person, which power of attorney shall be coupled with an interest and be irrevocable so long as any of the Indebtedness hereunder or under the Note is outstanding. Any costs or expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any of the foregoing shall be payable, together with interest at the rate of fifteen (15%) percent per annum (or such lesser rate as shall be the maximum rate permitted by law) from the date incurred until paid. 10.3 Cross-Default. For purposes hereof and all of the Loan Documents, an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be an Event of Default with respect to any and all of the other Loan Documents. |
ARTICLE ELEVEN 11.1 Books and Records. Borrower shall keep or shall cause the Lightstone Property Owners to keep accurate, full and complete books, records and accounts showing the assets, liabilities, operations, transactions and financial condition of the Lightstone Properties. All books, records, accounts and financial statements shall be accurate and complete in all material respects, shall present fairly the financial position and results of the operations of the Lightstone Properties and shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (on a cash basis) consistently applied. 11.2 Statements. (a) Reports to Lender. The Lightstone Property Owners or Borrower shall furnish to Lender the financial reports required to be submitted to Wachovia, as holder of the First Mortgage on the Lightstone Properties, within the time limits set forth in the First Mortgage and in any event, annual audited financial statements by March 1 in each year. This requirement shall continue whether or not the First Mortgage remains outstanding. If the First Mortgage is replaced by a new mortgage as the result of a Refinancing Event, Lender may, but shall not be required to, accept the reports to be delivered to the holder of the mortgage resulting from the Refinancing Event in place of the foregoing requirements. (b) Income Reports. In addition to the requirements of subsection (a) above, Borrower shall furnish, or cause the Lightstone Property Owners to furnish, to Lender no later than March 31 of each year (i) a statement itemizing the sources and types of gross revenue for the preceding Fiscal Year paid by tenants to each Lightstone Property Owner in accordance with |
Occupancy Leases and reflecting other miscellaneous income, and (ii) such other year end reports and other information as Lender reasonably may request. (c) Other Reports. In addition, Borrower shall furnish or cause the Lightstone Property Owners to furnish to Lender copies of any and all reports furnished under any management agreement or leasing agreement to the extent not otherwise provided to Lender hereunder. 11.3 Lender’s Right to Audit. The books, accounts and records of Borrower and the Lightstone Property Owners shall at all times be maintained at Borrower’s Property Management Office. Upon reasonable notice to Borrower, Lender may at its option and expense conduct audits of the books, records and accounts of the Lightstone Properties, on either a continuing or periodic basis or both, by employees of Lender, an Affiliate of Lender, or by a national firm of independent certified public accountants selected by Lender (“Auditor”). If Lender’s accountants are not the Auditor and disagree with the Auditor’s decision as to any matter concerning the books, accounts and records of either Lightstone Property, Lender may notify Borrower of such disagreement, and Borrower and Lender shall cause the Auditor and Lender’s accountants, respectively, to hold such meetings and discussions as they shall deem necessary concerning the disagreement and to use all reasonable efforts to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of the matter in question. If the Auditor and the Lender’s accountants are unable to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of the matter in question, they shall select a national firm of certified public accountants to act as a third auditor to review and make a determination as to the matter in question. Such third auditor’s determination shall be final and binding upon the parties, the Auditor and Lender’s accountants. Such third auditor shall have full access to the books, records and accounts of the Lightstone Properties. |
The charges and expenses of such third auditor shall be paid by Borrower as an Operating Expense. ARTICLE TWELVE 12.1 Management. Borrower shall be responsible for providing or causing to be provided all services necessary, proper, desirable or appropriate for the successful leasing, operating, repair and management of the Lightstone Properties in the manner of similar properties in their respective general areas, and shall cause such management services to be performed as hereinafter set forth. Any management agreement shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and shall be terminable upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice. Any management agreement shall also provide that all amounts coming due to the managing agent thereunder shall be earned, due and payable only if, as, and when, and to the extent that, all Indebtedness amounts then due and payable have been paid. Any managing agent must be approved by Lender before retained to serve as such. Subject to the preceding provisions of this Section, Lender agrees not to unreasonably withhold Lender’s approval of a manager selected by Borrower, so long as the aggregate amount of fees and other compensation to be paid to said managing agent, pursuant to a management agreement between Borrower and said managing agent that is acceptable to Lender, shall not exceed three and one-half percent (3.5%) of the rent and other direct income from the operation of the Lightstone Property or Lightstone Properties. Any replacement managing agent or management agreement shall be subject to Lender’s prior written approval. The managing agent or managing agents of the Lightstone Properties always shall use their best efforts (and their respective management agreements expressly shall so require) to manage the Lightstone Properties in such a manner that the rental income derived therefrom would qualify as “rents from real property” as that term is defined in Section 856(d)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code if the owner were a real estate investment trust. |
12.2 Service Agreements. Copies of all service agreements shall be delivered to Lender, if Lender so requests, and shall be maintained at Borrower’s Property Management Office available for inspection by Lender at all reasonable times. 12.3 Occupancy Leases. All Occupancy Leases with respect to the Lightstone Properties will be bona fide, good faith, arm’s length leases in writing with third parties that are not Affiliates of Borrower or either of the Lightstone Property Owners (and Borrower will promptly furnish copies thereof to Lender, if Lender so requests, and will maintain copies thereof at Borrower’s Property Management Office available for Lender’s inspection at all reasonable times). ARTICLE THIRTEEN 13.1 Transfers. (a) Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no Lightstone Property, or any part thereof, no Pledged Collateral, and no direct or indirect interest in either Lightstone Property Owner or in Borrower, or in any entity that has any direct or indirect interest in any Lightstone Property Owner or in Borrower, shall be Transferred without the prior written consent of Lender which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer not permitted under the terms hereof shall be void ab initio and of no force or effect. 13.2 No Financing. Neither Borrower, nor any Lightstone Property Owner, nor any of their Affiliates, shall have the right to enter into a Refinancing Event without the prior written consent of Lender which shall not be unreasonably withheld. |
ARTICLE FOURTEEN 14.1 Notices. All notices, demands, consents, requests, instructions and approvals (“Notice”) herein required or permitted shall be in writing and shall be either telecopied (except that default Notices shall not be effective if only telecopied), delivered by a reputable overnight courier that provides a receipt to sender, or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage pre-paid, to the recipient at such recipient’s address set forth below (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by Notice given pursuant hereto): |

14.12 Resolution of Drafting Ambiguities. Lender, Borrower and the Lightstone Property Owners acknowledge that they were represented by experienced counsel in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and that their counsel negotiated all of the Loan Documents on their behalf and that any rule of construction under any applicable law to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of any of the Loan Documents. 14.13 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies and Rights Lender shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by Lender, and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Lender would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently and shall be construed as affording Lender rights additional to and not exclusive of any rights and remedies conferred under the laws of the state of New York, any other laws or any other Security Instrument or Loan Document. 14.14 Certain Consents. If Borrower or any Lightstone Property Owner (the “requesting party”) shall seek the approval by or consent of Lender under this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and Lender shall fail or refuse to give such consent or approval, then the requesting party shall not be entitled to any damages for any withholding or delay of such approval or consent by Lender, it being intended that the requesting party’s sole remedy shall be an action for injunction or specific performance, which remedy of an injunction or specific performance |
shall be available only in those cases in which Lender has expressly agreed under the applicable instrument or agreement not unreasonably to withhold or delay its consent or approval. 14.15 Payment Days. In the event that any payment of Interest, Principal, or any other payment to be made by Borrower to Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall fall on a day which is a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks in New York City are closed for business, any such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day. 14.16 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Loan Agreement or the application thereof to Borrower or the Lightstone Property Owners, in any circumstance, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith, and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute, regulation or rule of law, and the remainder of this Loan Agreement and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provision to parties, jurisdictions, or circumstances other than to whom or which it is held invalid or enforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall same affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Loan Agreement. 14.17 Consent to Jurisdiction. Any court action brought to interpret or enforce any provision of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or to prosecute any claim arising hereunder or thereunder must be commenced and maintained in the state or federal courts in the State of New York. Borrower, the Lightstone Property Owners, and their Affiliates hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts in the State of New York for such purposes. Borrower hereby appoints Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Esq. of Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx LLP, 0 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, and any member of Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx LLP or any successor firm, as agent for Borrower, the Lightstone Property Owners and |
