All payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, Foreign Taxes or U.S. Taxes, excluding, in the case of Lender or any Co-Lender, Foreign Taxes or U.S. Taxes measured by its net income, receipts, capital, net worth and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Lender or any Co-Lender is resident or organized, or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of Lender or any Co-Lender, taxes measured by its overall net income, receipts, capital, net worth and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of Lender’s or such Co-Lender’s applicable lending office or any political subdivision thereof or in which Lender or such Co-Lender is resident or engaged in business. If any non excluded Foreign Taxes or U.S. Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender or any Co-Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender or such Co-Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender or such Co-Lender (after payment of all non excluded Foreign Taxes or U.S. Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any non excluded Foreign Tax or U.S. Tax is payable pursuant to Applicable Law by Borrower, Borrower shall send to Lender or the applicable Co-Lender, within thirty (30) days after such payment, an original official receipt showing payment of such non excluded Foreign Tax or U.S. Tax or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender or the applicable Co-Lender. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender and each Co-Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender or any Co-Lender which may result from any failure or delay by Borrower to pay any such non excluded Foreign Tax or U.S. Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure or delay by Borrower to remit to Lender or any Co-Lender the required receipts or other reasonable evidence of such payment, provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (a) the obligation to pay such additional amounts required under this Section 2.2.9 shall not apply to any Foreign Taxes which otherwise constitute Excluded Taxes and (b) in the event that Lender or any Co-Lender or any successor and/or assign of Lender or any Co-Lender is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, Lender and any such Co-Lender agrees that, prior to the first date on which any payment is due such entity hereunder, it will deliver to Borrower (i) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, or (ii) an Internal Revenue
39
Service Form W-9 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United States backup withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder. Each entity required to deliver to Borrower a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or Form W-9 pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to Borrower two (2) further copies of such letter and W-8BEN or W-8ECI or Form W-9, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such letter or form expires (which, in the case of the Form W-8ECI, is the last day of each U.S. taxable year of the non U.S. entity) or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent letter and form previously delivered by it to Borrower, and such other extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any such case any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such entity from duly completing and delivering any such letter or form with respect to it and such entity advises Borrower that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax, and in the case of a Form W-9, establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such entity fails to provide a duly completed Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or other applicable form and, under Applicable Law, in order to avoid liability for Foreign Taxes or U.S. Taxes, Borrower is required to withhold on payments made to such entity that has failed to provide the applicable form, Borrower shall be entitled to withhold the appropriate amount of Foreign Taxes or U.S. Taxes and Borrower shall have no obligation to pay any additional amounts to such entity under this Section 2.2.9. In such event, Borrower shall promptly provide to such entity evidence of payment of such Foreign Taxes or U.S. Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority and shall promptly forward to such entity any official tax receipts or other documentation with respect to the payment of the Foreign Taxes or U.S. Taxes as may be issued by the taxing authority.
Section 2.3 Prepayments.
2.3.1 Voluntary Prepayments.
Borrower may, at its option and upon not less than thirty (30) days’ (if given via U.S. Postal Service) or twenty (20) days’ (if given via facsimile, email or overnight courier), but no more than sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Lender, prepay the Debt in whole or in part, provided (i) Borrower pays to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the date of prepayment and, if such prepayment occurs on a date which is not a Payment Date, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of principal being prepaid after the date of such prepayment to the next Payment Date (the “Interest Shortfall”); (ii) Mezzanine B Borrower simultaneously prepays the Mezzanine B Loan in whole, but not in part (except in connection with the release of an Individual Property in accordance with Section 2.6 of the Mezzanine B Loan Agreement) pursuant to the Mezzanine B Loan Agreement by a dollar amount which bears the same relation to the principal amount of the Mezzanine B
40
Loan outstanding immediately prior to such prepayment as the amount of the Loan prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.3.1 bears to the principal amount of the Loan outstanding immediately prior to such prepayment; and (iii) if such prepayment occurs prior to the Prepayment Consideration Period End Date, Borrower pays to Lender the Prepayment Consideration.
Borrower shall be permitted the right to rescind and revoke or postpone its notice of prepayment given in accordance with this Section 2.3.1, provided that (i) a written notice of such rescission and revocation or postponement is received by Lender no sooner than three (3) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment indicated by Borrower and (ii) Borrower pays Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred as a result of Lender’s receipt of such notice of prepayment.

On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, if such date is a Payment Date, such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service shall be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Note and all other sums then due hereunder or under the Loan Documents and any remaining Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service shall be disbursed to Borrower. In the event Lender receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service on a date other than a Payment Date, such amounts shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence on the next Payment Date. No Prepayment Consideration or any other prepayment premium or penalty shall be due in connection with any prepayment made as a result of any of the events described in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.3.2(a).
(b) Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of any Liquidation Event once Borrower has knowledge of such event. Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of (i) a sale (other than a foreclosure sale) of an Individual Property on the date on which a contract of sale for such sale is entered into, and a foreclosure sale, on the date notice of such foreclosure sale is given to Borrower or Mortgage Borrower, and (ii) a refinancing of an Individual Property or the Mortgage Loan, on the date on which a commitment for such refinancing is entered into. The provisions of this Section 2.3.2 shall not be construed to contravene in any manner the restrictions and other provisions regarding refinancing of the Mortgage Loan or the Transfer of any Individual Property set forth in this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents or the Mortgage Loan Documents.
41
2.3.3 Prepayments After Default.
If, following the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Maturity Date, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender (including, without limitation, through application of any Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, other than Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service received in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation of all or a portion of any Individual Property), such tender or recovery shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, (i) the Prepayment Consideration, if any, and (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest calculated at the Applicable Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the date of prepayment and, if such prepayment occurs on a date which is not a Payment Date, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of principal being prepaid after the date of such prepayment to the next Payment Date.
2.3.4 Making of Payments.
Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the Note shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Lender by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on or prior to the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a date which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day succeeding such scheduled due date.

Subject to the terms of this Section 2.9, Borrower may cause Mortgage Borrower to obtain, from time to time, a release of one or more Individual Properties (each, a “Release Property”) by substituting therefor one or more luxury residential apartment building properties of like kind and quality located in the United States of America acquired by Mortgage Borrower or an Affiliate of Mortgage Borrower (provided, however, that if the Substitute Property shall be owned by an Affiliate of Mortgage Borrower, such Affiliate (i) shall be wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by a Mezzanine B Borrower Entity, (ii) shall assume all the obligations of Mortgage Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Agreement, the Mortgage Note and the other Mortgage Loan Documents (subject, however, to the exculpatory provisions of Section 9.4 hereof) and (iii) shall become a party to the Mortgage Note and the other Mortgage Loan Documents and shall be bound by the terms and provisions thereof as if it had executed the Mortgage Note and the other Mortgage Loan Documents and shall have the rights and obligations of Mortgage Borrower thereunder) (individually, a “Substitute Property” and collectively, the “Substitute Properties”), provided that the following conditions precedent are satisfied or, in Lender’s sole discretion, waived:
44
(a) Lender shall have received at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice requesting the substitution and identifying the Substitute Property and the Release Property.
(b) (i) All conditions to the release of such Individual Property and substitution of such Substitute Property shall have been satisfied in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents (as independently determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion) and (ii) all conditions to the release of such Individual Property and substitution of such Substitute Property shall have been satisfied in accordance with the terms of Section 2.9 of the Mezzanine B Loan Agreement with respect to such release and substitution.

(e) Intentionally Omitted.
(f) If the Loan is part of a Securitization, Lender shall have received confirmation in writing from the Rating Agencies to the effect that such release and substitution will not result in a withdrawal, qualification or downgrade of the respective ratings in effect immediately prior to such release and substitution for the Securities issued in connection with the Securitization that are then outstanding. If the Loan is not part of a Securitization, Lender shall have consented in writing to such release and substitution, which consent shall be given in Lender’s reasonable discretion applying the requirements of a prudent institutional mortgage loan lender with respect to real estate collateral of a size, scope and value substantially similar to that of the Substitute Property.
(g) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and Borrower shall be in compliance in all material respects with all terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in each other Loan Document on Borrower’s part to be observed or performed. Lender shall have received a certificate from Borrower confirming the foregoing, stating that the representations and warranties of Borrower contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the release and substitution with respect to Borrower, the Properties and the Substitute Property and containing any other representations and warranties with
45
respect to Borrower, the Properties, the Substitute Property or the Loan as (i) Lender (applying the requirements of a prudent institutional mortgage loan lender), if a Securitization has not occurred, or (ii) the Rating Agencies, if a Securitization has occurred, may require, unless such certificate would be inaccurate, such certificate to be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (applying the requirements of a prudent institutional mortgage loan lender) or the Rating Agencies, as applicable.
(h) If the Substitute Property shall be owned by an Affiliate of Mortgage Borrower: (i) Borrower shall execute and deliver a pledge agreement in substantially the same form as the Pledge Agreement in respect of the ownership interests of Mortgage Borrower in the new property owner/mortgage borrower (such interests shall otherwise comply with the requirements of the Loan Documents and be substantially identical in structure, form and substance as the Collateral delivered at closing of the Loan); (ii) Borrower shall authorize Lender to file such UCC Financing Statements required by Lender with respect to the substitute Collateral; (iii) Borrower shall deliver, at its sole cost and expense, a UCC Insurance Policy insuring the new pledge agreement as a valid first lien on the ownership interests pledged thereunder and substantially identical to the UCC Insurance Policy delivered at the closing of the Loan; and (iv) Borrower shall enter into such modifications to the other Loan Documents as Lender may reasonably request in order to reflect the substitution of the applicable Individual Property and the new property owner/mortgage borrower. The amount of the Loan allocated to the Substitute Property (such amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Substitute Allocated Loan Amount”) shall equal the Allocated Loan Amount of the related Release Property; provided, however, that in the event the number of Release Properties with respect to any substitution effected pursuant to this Section 2.9 does not equal the number of Substitute Properties, the Substitute Allocated Loan Amount for each of such Substitute Properties shall be reasonably determined by Lender (provided, however, that the aggregate Substitute Allocated Loan Amount for such Substitute Properties shall not exceed the aggregate Allocated Loan Amount for such Released Properties).
(i) Intentionally Omitted.
(j) Lender shall have received a current Survey for each Substitute Property, certified to the title company and Lender and its successors and assigns, in the same form and having the same content as the certification of the Survey of the Release Property, prepared by a professional land surveyor licensed in the State in which the Substitute Property is located and acceptable to the Rating Agencies in accordance with the 1999 Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys.

If any such report discloses the presence of any Hazardous Substance in contravention of any applicable Legal Requirement in any material respect, or the material risk of contamination from any off site Hazardous Substance in contravention of any applicable Legal Requirement in any material respect, the proposed substitution shall not be allowed without Lender’s prior written consent at any time prior to a Securitization of the Loan. If, subsequent to a Securitization of the Loan, any such report discloses the presence of any Hazardous Substance in contravention of any applicable Legal Requirement in any material respect, or the risk of contamination from any off site Hazardous Substance in contravention of any applicable Legal Requirement in any material respect, the proposed substitution shall not be allowed unless (i) such report shall include an estimate of the cost of any related remediation required to be undertaken by an environmental consultant reasonably selected by Lender, (ii) the estimated cost of remediation does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for such Substitute Property, and (iii) Borrower shall have caused Mortgage Borrower to deposit with Mortgage Lender (A) cash, (B) a Letter of Credit, or (C) an indemnity by a reasonably acceptable indemnitor, in either event in an amount equal to one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of such estimated cost, which deposit shall constitute additional security for the Mortgage Loan and shall be released to Mortgage Borrower upon the delivery to Mortgage Lender of (1) an update to such report indicating that there is no longer any Hazardous Substance on the Substitute Property that has not been remediated or contained in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements in all material respects or any material danger of contamination from any off site Hazardous Substance in contravention of any applicable Legal Requirement, and (2) a certificate from Mortgage Borrower stating that all such remediation work has been paid in full or will be paid for out of the amounts reserved with Mortgage Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender agrees that if Borrower requests in writing that certain of the Furnished Information be kept confidential, (i) Lender agrees that it shall keep such Furnished Information confidential unless such Furnished Information is required to be disclosed by Applicable Law and (ii) if in connection with a Securitization or Syndication of the Loan, Lender furnishes such Furnished Information to any Investor, any Rating Agency rating such participations and/or Securities, any prospective Investor, or any organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage or mezzanine loans, Lender shall inform any such Investor, Rating Agency, prospective Investor, or organization that directly receives such Furnished Information from Lender about the confidential nature of such Furnished Information.

(k) Within a reasonable time after Lender’s request, Borrower shall, and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, furnish Lender with such other additional financial or management information as may, from time to time, be reasonably required by Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, subject, however, to the confidentiality requirements set forth in Section 5.1.10(j) hereof.

79

With respect to clauses (ix), (x), (xi) and (xii) above, such certifications shall only be included in such statement if requested by the Rating Agencies or the Investors and such certifications may only be requested by Lender once in any calendar year.

5.1.17 Leasing Matters.
(a) Borrower may cause or permit Mortgage Borrower enter into a proposed Lease (including the renewal or extension of an existing Lease (a “Renewal Lease”)) without the prior written consent of Lender, provided such proposed Lease or Renewal Lease (i) provides for rental rates and terms comparable or superior to existing local market rates and terms (taking into account the type and quality of the tenant and the location and quality of the space to be leased) as of the date such Lease is executed by Mortgage Borrower (unless, in the case of a Renewal Lease or a Lease covering expansion space, the rent payable during such renewal or with respect to such expansion space, as the case may be, or a formula or other method to compute such rent, is provided for in the original Lease), (ii) is an arms-length transaction with a bona fide, independent third party tenant, (iii) does not have a materially adverse effect on the value or quality of the applicable Individual Property, (iv) [intentionally omitted], (v) is written on the standard form of residential lease approved by Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) (which such standard form of lease currently approved by Lender is attached hereto as Exhibit B), unless Mortgage Borrower determines in good faith that deviations from the approved Lease form do not materially and adversely affect Mortgage Borrower’s interests under the Lease or Renewal Lease, and (vi) is not a Major Lease. All proposed Leases which do not satisfy the requirements set forth in this Section 5.1.17 shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), at Borrower’s expense. At Lender’s request, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly deliver to Lender copies of all Leases which are entered into pursuant to this Section 5.1.17(a), together with Borrower’s certification that it has satisfied or caused Mortgage Borrower to satisfy all of the conditions of this Section 5.1.17(a) (other than conditions waived in writing by Lender) applicable to such Leases. Any Lease submitted to Lender for Lender’s approval shall be deemed approved if Lender shall not have notified Borrower in writing of its approval or disapproval (together with a statement of the grounds of such disapproval, if applicable) within ten (10) Business Days (the “Approval Period”) after Lender has received such submission; provided, however, that upon notice to Borrower, Lender shall be entitled to a five (5) Business Day extension of the Approval Period (“Lender’s Approval Extension Period”). Notwithstanding the leasing approval procedure set forth above, to facilitate Mortgage Borrower’s leasing process, Borrower may present prospective leasing transactions to Lender for its approval prior to the negotiation of a final Lease. Such presentation shall include a summary term sheet of all material terms of the proposed lease or a draft of the Lease, either as supplemented by any additional information concerning such lease or the tenant thereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender (the “Lease Term Sheet”). Lender shall approve or disapprove the Lease Term Sheet within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt, provided Lender shall be entitled to Lender’s Approval Extension Period and such request to
82
Lender complies with the requirements of Section 5.1.17(g) hereof, and if Lender fails to so approve or disapprove of the Lease Term Sheet within such Approval Period and Lender’s Approval Extension Period, if applicable, the Lease Term Sheet shall be deemed approved by Lender. If Lender approves or is deemed to have approved the Lease Term Sheet, Lender’s prior approval shall not be required for the final Lease, except to the extent such final Lease (i) deviates in any material respect from the terms set forth on the Lease Term Sheet or contains any material terms not set forth in the Lease Term Sheet, and Borrower determines in good faith that such deviation shall materially and adversely affect either (A) Mortgage Borrower’s interest under the Lease or (B) Lender’s interest in the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) [intentionally omitted] or (iii) is not fully executed within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Lease Term Sheet is received by Lender; provided, however, that (x) nothing contained in this sentence shall be construed to require Lender’s approval of any Lease for which approval is not required by the other provisions of this Section 5.1.17, (y) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to deliver to Lender copies of the following: (1) the fully-executed Lease entered into by Mortgage Borrower in accordance with this Section 5.1.17 and (2) the final Lease Term Sheet, if any (to the extent that such final Lease Term Sheet contains revisions or changes that were not contained in the Lease Term Sheet initially reviewed and approved or deemed approved by Lender in accordance with this Section 5.1.17(a)), and (z) Mortgage Borrower’s delivery of the documents referred to in (y) above shall be deemed to be Borrower’s certification that the terms and conditions of this Section 5.1.17 have been satisfied.
(b) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to (i) observe and perform all the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in all material respects and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of any of the Leases as security for the Debt; (ii) promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default which Mortgage Borrower shall send or receive thereunder; (iii) enforce in a commercially reasonable manner all of the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the tenant thereunder to be observed or performed (except for termination of a Major Lease which, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1.17(d) hereof, shall require Lender’s prior approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); (iv) not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance except security deposits and prepayments of first month’s and last month’s rent shall not be deemed Rents collected in advance; (v) deposit or cause to be deposited all Lease Termination Payments relating to commercial leases, if any, into an account designated by Lender, if required by Lender, not later than the first Business Day after Mortgage Borrower’s receipt thereof; (vi) not execute any other assignment of the lessor’s interest in any of the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Mortgage Loan Documents); and (vii) not consent to any assignment of or subletting under any Major Leases relating to commercial space not in accordance with their terms, without the prior written consent of Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and to be deemed granted if Lender shall not have disapproved such assignment or subletting in writing within ten (10) Business Days after Borrower’s request for Lender’s approval, provided Lender is entitled to Lender’s Approval Extension Period and such request for approval complies with Section 5.1.17(g) hereof).
83
(c) Borrower may, without the consent of Lender, cause or permit Mortgage Borrower to amend, modify or waive the provisions of any Lease or terminate, reduce rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of, any Lease (including any guaranty, letter of credit or other credit support with respect thereto) provided such Lease is not a Major Lease and such action (taking into account, in the case of a termination, reduction in rent, surrender of space or shortening of term, the planned alternative use of the affected space) does not have a materially adverse effect on the value of the applicable Individual Property taken as a whole, and provided such Lease, as amended, modified or waived, is otherwise in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement. A termination of a Lease (other than a Major Lease) with a tenant who is in default beyond applicable notice and grace periods shall not be considered an action which has a materially adverse effect on the value of the applicable Individual Property taken as a whole. Any amendment, modification, waiver, termination, rent reduction, space surrender or term shortening which does not satisfy the requirements set forth in this Subsection shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and to be deemed granted if Lender shall not have disapproved such amendment, modification, waiver, termination, rent reduction, space surrender or term shortening, as the case may be, in writing within ten (10) Business Days after Borrower’s request for Lender’s approval (fifteen (15) Business Days for any termination, rent reduction, space surrender or term shortening request), provided that Lender is entitled to Lender’s Approval Extension Period and such request for approval complies with the requirements of Section 5.1.17(g) hereof), at Borrower’s expense. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly deliver to Lender copies of all Leases, amendments, modifications and waivers which are entered into pursuant to this Section 5.1.17(c), together with Borrower’s certification that it has satisfied or caused to be satisfied all of the conditions of this Section 5.1.17(c) applicable to such Leases, amendments, modifications and waivers.
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not cause or permit Mortgage Borrower, without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) enter into, renew, extend, amend, modify, waive any provisions of, terminate, reduce rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of, any Major Lease or any instrument guaranteeing or providing credit support for any Major Lease; provided, however, that the procedures set forth in Section 5.1.17(a) regarding Lender’s approval or deemed approval of leasing transactions as well as Borrower’s rights to deliver Lease Term Sheets shall also apply to Major Lease approvals pursuant to this Section 5.1.17(d).
(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent permitted by law and subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, Borrower shall promptly deposit with Lender any and all monies then held by Borrower representing security deposits under the Leases (collectively, the “Security Deposits”). Borrower and not Lender shall be liable for the delivery of security deposits to tenants under Leases which are not delivered to and held by Lender pursuant to this Section 5.1.17(e). Lender shall hold the Security Deposits in accordance with the terms of the respective Leases, and shall only release the Security Deposits in order to return a tenant’s Security Deposit to such tenant if such tenant is
84
entitled to the return of the Security Deposit under the terms of the Lease and is not otherwise in default under the Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period. To the extent required by Applicable Laws, Lender shall hold the Security Deposits in an interest bearing account selected by Lender in its sole discretion. In the event Lender is not permitted by law to hold the Security Deposits, Borrower shall deposit the Security Deposits into an interest-bearing account with a federally insured institution reasonably approved by Lender.
(f) Intentionally Omitted.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.1.17, to the extent Lender’s prior written approval is required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.1.17, Lender shall, with respect to such proposed Leases, Lease Term Sheets and/or renewals, modifications, amendments or terminations of, or waivers with respect to, existing Leases, have ten (10) Business Days (fifteen (15) Business Days for any termination, rent reduction, space surrender or term shortening request) from receipt of such written request in which to approve or disapprove such Lease or other documentation, provided such written request to Lender for approval is marked in bold lettering with the following language: “LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS (FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS FOR ANY TERMINATION, RENT REDUCTION, SPACE SURRENDER OR TERM SHORTENING REQUEST) OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE (THE “APPROVAL PERIOD”) PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A LOAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND LENDER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT LENDER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO A FIVE (5) DAY EXTENSION OF THE APPROVAL PERIOD UPON NOTICE TO BORROWER” and the envelope containing the request must be marked “PRIORITY”. In the event Lender fails to respond to the proposed Lease, Lease Term Sheet and/or renewal, modification, amendment or termination of, or waiver with respect to, an existing Lease within such time, Lender’s approval shall be deemed given. The reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender in connection with any such proposed Lease, Lease Term Sheet and/or renewal, modification, amendment or termination of, or waiver with respect to, an existing Lease shall be payable by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s written request therefor.
5.1.18 Management Agreement.
(a) The Properties are currently self-managed by Mortgage Borrower. In the event that the Improvements on each Individual Property are operated under the terms and conditions of a Management Agreement, the provisions of this Section 5.1.18 shall apply. Borrower shall not permit any Mortgage Borrower Entity to retain a manager to manage any Individual Property unless such manager is a Qualified Manager and has entered into a Management Agreement and an Agreement Regarding Management Agreement, each in form and substance, reasonably acceptable to Lender. All management fees payable pursuant to the Management Agreements shall be market fees similar to those payable to managers of properties of a similar type and quality pursuant to arm’s-length management agreements, taking into account differences in the quality or
85
level of service provided; provided, however, that if TSP or an Affiliate of TSP is employed as Manager of the Properties, such fees payable to TSP or such Affiliate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be market and arm’s-length. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to (i) diligently perform and observe all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreements on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed and observed to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of Mortgage Borrower under the Management Agreements and (ii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice to Mortgage Borrower of any default by Mortgage Borrower in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Management Agreement on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed and observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice. Borrower shall not cause or permit Mortgage Borrower to surrender any Management Agreement, consent to the assignment by Manager of its interest under any Management Agreement, or terminate or cancel any Management Agreement or, in any respect that would have a Material Adverse Effect, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Management Agreement, either orally or in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be entitled to cause or permit Mortgage Borrower to enforce and terminate any Management Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof; provided, however, that if the Management Agreement for any Individual Property is terminated, Borrower shall cause the applicable Mortgage Borrower Entity to simultaneously enter into a replacement Management Agreement for such Individual Property. Subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents, if Mortgage Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of any Management Agreement on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed, and such default shall continue beyond the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of such Management Agreement on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Mortgage Borrower, to the end that the rights of Mortgage Borrower in, to and under such Management Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. Lender and any person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon any Individual Property at any time and from time to time while an uncured Event of Default exists for the purpose of taking any such action. If the Manager under any Management Agreement shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to Borrower or Mortgage Borrower of default under such Management Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon. Borrower shall notify Lender if the Manager sub-contracts to a third party any or all of its management responsibilities under any Management Agreement. Borrower shall, from time to time, use its best efforts (or commercially reasonable efforts, at any time when the Manager under any Management Agreement is not an Affiliate of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, any Principal, Guarantor or TSP) to obtain from the Manager under such Management Agreement such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by
86
Mortgage Borrower and Manager with the terms of such Management Agreement as may be reasonably requested by Lender. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of each Management Agreement upon demand by Lender made at any time within one (1) year of the last day upon which any such option may be exercised. Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this Section 5.1.18(a) shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the date Lender first makes written demand upon Borrower for reimbursement of such cost to the date of payment to Lender, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the lien of the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall be due and payable promptly upon demand by Lender therefor.
(b) Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower, upon the request of Lender, shall cause Mortgage Borrower to terminate any Management Agreement and replace the Manager (so long as such termination and/or replacement is not prohibited under the Mortgage Loan Documents), without penalty or fee, if at any time during the Loan: (i) there exists an uncured Event of Default, (ii) there exists a default by Manager (other than TSP or any other Affiliated Manager) under such Management Agreement, which default shall have continued beyond the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period, (iii) the Manager shall become insolvent or a debtor in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or (iv) the Maturity Date occurs and the Loan is not paid in full.

The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State in which the Individual Property is located and having a claims paying ability/ rating of “A” or better (and the equivalent thereof) by at least two of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (one of which shall be S&P, if S&P is rating the Securities, and one of which shall be Moody’s, if Xxxxx’x is rating the Securities), or if only one Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then only by such Rating Agency; provided, however, that if the insurance coverage is provided by a syndicate of insurers, then (i) if such syndicate consists of five or more members, (A) at least 40% of the insurance coverage (and, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 6.1(b), 100% of the first layer of such coverage) shall be provided by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P and 20% shall be provided by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P, and (B) the remaining 40% of the coverage shall be provided by insurance

Not less than ten days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, binders or certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of payment of the Insurance Premiums shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender will allow 10% of the property program to be underwritten by a carrier with an A.M.

(c) The insurance coverage required under Section 6.1(a) hereof may be effected under a blanket Policy or Policies covering one or more Individual Properties and other property and assets not constituting a part of the Properties; provided, however, that the certificates of insurance evidencing the coverage required herein shall specify any sublimits in such blanket Policy applicable to each Individual Property insured by such Policy, which amounts shall not be less than the amounts required pursuant to Section 6.1(a), and which shall in any case comply in all other applicable respects with the requirements of this Section 6.1.
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof, except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v) hereof, shall name Borrower, Mortgage Borrower and Mezzanine B Borrower, as the case may be, as the insured and Lender, Mortgage Lender and Mezzanine B Lender, as the additional insured, as their interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender, Mortgage Lender and Mezzanine B Lender, providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable directly to Lender, Mortgage Lender and Mezzanine B Lender, or Lender, Mortgage Lender and Mezzanine B Lender, and Borrower, Mortgage Borrower and Mezzanine B Borrower, as the case may be, by joint check; provided, however, that Borrower hereby grants to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney to endorse the joint check on Borrower’s behalf.
(e) All Policies shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Mezzanine B Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Mezzanine B Borrower, or 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, except for the willful misconduct of Lender, Mortgage Lender or Mezzanine B Lender, in violation of the conditions of such Policy, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender, Mortgage Lender or Mezzanine B Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policy shall not be cancelled without at least 15 days’ written notice (or ten days’ written notice, in the case of non-payment of premium) to Lender, Mortgage Lender and Mezzanine B Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;
(iii) intentionally omitted; and
106
(iv) neither Lender, Mortgage Lender or Mezzanine B Lender shall be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f) Borrower shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed 10 days prior to the expiration. 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, but subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate after three (3) Business Days’ notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender deems necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the lapse of any such coverage. 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 Collateral and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give Borrower simultaneous notice of any action taken by Lender pursuant to this Section 6.1(f); provided, however, that if Lender fails to deliver such notice, its rights and remedies under this Agreement and the Pledge Agreement shall not be impaired.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.1, the Policies required pursuant to Sections 6.1(a)(iii), (v), (vii), and (ix) may be issued by a captive insurance company, provided that, Borrower shall have the ability to procure a portion of the insurance coverage required hereunder (including the so called catastrophe perils) through a “captive” insurance arrangement with a provider that is Affiliated with TSP, provided that (i) Lender and any relevant investors with respect to the Loan are reasonably satisfied with the formation/structure of the captive provider and the coverage provided, and (ii) Lender has received a Rating Agency Confirmation and a written confirmation from each of the investors of any portion of the Loan that the use of such captive insurance arrangement shall not result in any adverse ratings effect upon any applicable certificates. Lender shall cooperate with and permit Borrower to participate in the presentation to the Rating Agencies or investors with respect to any such captive insurance program. Except for the aforementioned condition, such “captive” insurance company shall not be subject to any of the above rating requirements or conditions in Section 6.1(b).
(h) For purposes of this Agreement, Lender shall have the same approval rights over the insurance referred to in the Mortgage Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the insurers, deductibles and coverages thereunder, as well as the right to require other reasonable insurance pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents) as are provided in favor of the Mortgage Lender in the Mortgage Loan Documents. All liability insurance provided for in the Mortgage Loan Documents shall provide insurance with respect to the liabilities of Mortgage Borrower and Borrower. The insurance policies delivered pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents shall include endorsements of the type described thereof, but pursuant to which Lender shall have the same protections as the Mortgage Lender as referred to therein.
107
(i) In the event that the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, except upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall permit Mortgage Borrower to settle any insurance or condemnation claims with respect to Insurance Proceeds or Awards which in the aggregate are less than or equal to the Threshold Amount. Lender shall have the right to participate in and reasonably approve any settlement for insurance or condemnation claims with respect to the Insurance Proceeds or Awards which in the aggregate are equal to or greater than the Threshold Amount. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing but subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender, Borrower hereby irrevocably empowers Lender, in the name of Mortgage Borrower as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to file and prosecute such claim and to collect and to make receipt for any such payment.

Notwithstanding any Condemnation by any public or quasi public authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement.

Borrower may, on written request received by Lender at least five (5) Business Days prior to any Payment Date, request that Lender withdraw sums held as Debt Service Reserve Funds and apply such sums toward the Debt Service due on such Payment Date, provided Borrower delivers evidence acceptable to Lender in all respects that there is a Debt Service Shortfall. The amount permitted by Lender to be withdrawn from the Debt Service Reserve Funds and applied to the Debt Service due on such Payment Date shall not exceed the amount of such Debt Service Shortfall. In the event that on any subsequent Determination Date following the deposit of cash or delivery of a Letter of Credit as required hereunder, Borrower delivers to Lender a certificate of Bank Loan Borrower that satisfies the requirements of Section 7.5(e) above, Lender shall return to Borrower the Debt Service Reserve Funds remaining on deposit with Lender or such Letter of Credit, as applicable.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Mezzanine B Borrower is maintaining the Debt Service Reserve Funds when it is required to do so under the Mezzanine B Loan Agreement, Borrower shall not be required to maintain the Debt Service Reserve Funds as required hereunder.

Section 7.7 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.8 Reserve Funds, Generally.
(a) Borrower grants to Lender a first priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and the related Accounts established hereunder, if any, and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in such Reserve Fund and each such related Account as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds and the related Accounts established hereunder, if any, shall constitute additional security for the Debt.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then held in any or all of the Reserve Funds established hereunder, if any, to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion.
(c) Any Reserve Funds established hereunder shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.
(d) Any Reserve Funds established hereunder shall be held in interest-bearing accounts and all earnings or 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.
112
(e) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or related Account established hereunder, if any, or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(f) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the related Accounts established hereunder, if any, or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds or the related Accounts were established, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender, its agents or employees (including willful breach of this Agreement). Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by such Reserve Funds or the related Accounts; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
Section 7.9 Letters of Credit.
7.9.1 Delivery of Letters of Credit.
(a) The aggregate amount of any Letter of Credit and cash on deposit with respect to the Debt Service Reserve Funds at any time during the term of the Loan shall at all times be at least equal to the amount which Borrower would otherwise be required to have on deposit pursuant to Section 7.5 hereof if Borrower did not elect to deliver a Letter of Credit in lieu thereof. In the event that a Letter of Credit is delivered in lieu of any portion of the Debt Service Reserve Funds, Borrower shall be responsible for the direct payment of any Debt Service Shortfalls that would otherwise have been payable from such portion of the Debt Service Reserve Funds. Lender shall not draw on any Letter of Credit delivered in lieu of any portion of the Debt Service Reserve Funds unless (i) Borrower fails to pay any Debt Service Shortfall or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
(b) Borrower shall give Lender not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice of Borrower’s election to deliver a Letter of Credit and Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith. Lender shall be the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit and Borrower shall not be entitled to draw down any such Letter of Credit for any reason whatsoever. Upon not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Lender, Borrower may replace a Letter of Credit with a cash deposit to the Debt Service Reserve Fund. Prior to the return of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall deposit with Lender cash in an amount that satisfies the Debt Service Reserve Fund deposit requirement.
113
7.9.2 Provisions Regarding Letters of Credit.
(a) Each Letter of Credit delivered under this Agreement shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to draw on any Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for which such Letter of Credit was established or to apply such Letter of Credit to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine. Any such application to the Debt shall be subject to the Spread Maintenance Payment and any Interest Shortfall, if applicable. On the Maturity Date, if the Debt is not paid in full, any such Letter of Credit may be applied to reduce the Debt.
(b) In addition to any other right Lender may have to draw upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full on any Letter of Credit:
(i) if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed and either (y) a substitute Letter of Credit or (z) cash in the amount of the Letter of Credit is not provided at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire;
(ii) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), and Borrower has failed to deliver to Lender either (y) a substitute Letter of Credit or (z) cash in the amount of the Letter of Credit; or
(iii) if Lender has received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Eligible Institution and Borrower has failed to deliver to Lender either (y) a substitute Letter of Credit or (z) cash in the amount of the Letter of Credit.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender shall not be obligated to draw down on any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn the Letter of Credit, and in the event of the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit or if the bank issuing the Letter of Credit ceases to be an Eligible Institution, Borrower shall promptly provide to Lender either (y) a substitute Letter of Credit or (z) cash in the amount of the Letter of Credit.
(c) If any Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit delivered pursuant to Section 7.5 of this Agreement, in the aggregate, are in an amount greater than ten percent (10%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, together with such Letter of Credit, a new substantive non-consolidation opinion substantially similar to the Insolvency Opinion delivered on the date hereof in connection
114
with the Loan, which new opinion shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, and, if a Securitization has occurred, to the Rating Agencies.

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (vi) or (vii) of Section 8.1(a) hereof) and at any time thereafter, 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, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand (except for such notice or demand as may be expressly required under the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents), that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Collateral, 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/or the Collateral and may exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code against Borrower and the Collateral, including, without
118
limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clause (vi) or (vii) of Section 8.1(a) hereof, 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 8.2 Remedies.
(a) 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 all or any part of the Collateral. 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 Applicable Law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by Applicable Law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender with respect to the Collateral shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral, and the Pledge Agreement has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt, or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any specific portion of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose upon the Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement 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 (1) or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose upon any portion of the Collateral 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 upon the Collateral to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Pledge Agreement as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral not foreclosed upon shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and not previously recovered.
119
(c) Lender shall have the right, from time to time, to sever the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledges 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 written request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall reasonably request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. The Severed Loan Documents shall not (x) 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) or (y) change the Applicable Interest Rate or the Maturity Date, or (z) otherwise amend or modify any other material term of the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
(d) Any amounts recovered from the Collateral 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 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.
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. 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 or more Defaults or Events 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 8.4 Right to Cure Defaults.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower (other than such notice as may otherwise be expressly required hereunder) and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, make any payment or do any act required of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Properties for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Properties 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 8.4, 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
120
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 notice from Lender that 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 to be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
Section 8.5 Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds.
Any Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds that Mortgage Lender disburses to Lender during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be held and applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such order and priority determined by Lender in its sole discretion.
Section 8.6 Power of Attorney.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions and exercising the rights, powers and privileges granted in this Article VIII, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and do and perform any acts such as are referred to in this subsection in the name and on behalf of Borrower. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.

(c) if required by the Rating Agencies, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Properties as may be required under Section 5.1.13(c) hereof, which estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(d) subject in all cases to the applicable provisions of Section 9.5 hereof, execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the Securitization;

Such Notes or components may be assigned different interest rates, so long as the weighted average of such interest rates does not exceed the Applicable Interest Rate (except for any deviation attributable to the imposition of any rate of interest at the Default Rate or prepayments pursuant to Section 2.3.2 or 2.3.3 hereof);
(f) deliver such estoppel certificates as may be required to be delivered by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.13(a) hereof; and

All third party costs and expenses and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender in connection with this Agreement and the Securitization shall be paid by Lender (except as otherwise expressly set forth herein). These shall include, but not be limited to, fees and disbursements of legal counsel, accountants, and other professionals retained by Lender and fees and expenses incurred for producing any offering documents or any other materials (including travel by Lender and its agents, design, printing, photograph and document production costs). Solely for the purposes of this Section 9.1, Lender shall reimburse Borrower for all of its actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (other than the fees and expenses of Borrower’s counsel) that Borrower incurs in connection with complying with a request made by Lender or any other Person acting on behalf of Lender under this Section 9.1 in connection with a Securitization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph shall in no way limit or affect any Borrower obligation to pay any costs expressly required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to any other Sections of this Agreement.

Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including a prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum, offering circular or other offering document (each a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings (an “Exchange Act Filing”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to Investors or prospective Investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that a Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Provided Information included in the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.
Section 9.3 Servicer.
At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer, provided that in no event shall such delegation operate to relieve Lender from its obligations hereunder. Lender will notify Borrower of the appointment of any Servicer on or prior to the date such appointment shall become effective. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay, or reimburse Lender for, any servicing fee or other compensation payable to the Servicer.
123
Section 9.4 Exculpation.

Section 9.5 Limitation on Borrower’s Obligations.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.1, Section 9.7, Section 9.8 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Borrower shall not be obligated to agree to any modification of the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or of Borrower’s Organizational Documents, or to take any other action, that would:

Section 9.6 Reallocation of Loan Amounts.
Lender, without in any way limiting its other rights hereunder, shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to reallocate the amount of the Loan and the Mezzanine B Loan, Borrower agrees to reasonably cooperate to facilitate such reallocation; provided, however, that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loan and the Mezzanine B Loan immediately following such reallocation shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and the Mezzanine B Loan immediately prior to such reallocation; (ii) the weighted average interest rate of the Loan and the Mezzanine B Loan immediately following such reallocation shall not exceed the weighted average interest rate which was applicable to the Loan and the Mezzanine B Loan immediately prior to such reallocation (except for any deviation attributable to the imposition of any rate of interest at the Default Rate or prepayments pursuant to Section 2.3.2 or 2.3.3 hereof). Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to reallocate the amount of the Loan and the Mezzanine B Loan and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender in connection therewith, including, without limitation, amendments to the Loan Documents and the Mezzanine B Loan Documents and endorsements to the UCC title insurance policies, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall cause Mezzanine B Borrower to cooperate with all reasonable requests of Mezzanine B Lender in connection with the reallocation of the amount of the Loan and the Mezzanine B Loan, and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Mezzanine B Lender in connection therewith, including opinions of counsel and UCC insurance, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Solely for the purposes of this Section 9.6, Lender shall reimburse Borrower for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, any additional mortgage recording tax due and payable by Borrower in connection with such restructuring and any title or UCC insurance premiums, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the insurance policies and endorsements required to be delivered by Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.6, but excluding the fees and expenses of Borrower’s counsel) that Borrower incurs in connection with complying with any request made by Lender under this Section 9.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 9.6 shall in no way limit, increase or otherwise affect any Borrower obligation to pay any costs
128
expressly required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to any other Sections of this Agreement. It shall be an Event of Default hereunder if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.6 and such failure shall continue for more than ten (10) Business Days after Borrower shall have received written notice thereof.
Section 9.7 Syndication.
9.7.1 Syndication.
The provisions of this Section 9.7 shall only apply in the event that the Loan is syndicated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.7 set forth below.
9.7.2 Sale of Loan, Co-Lenders, Participations and Servicing.
(a) Lender and any Co-Lender may, at their option, without Borrower’s consent (but with notice to Borrower), sell with novation all or any part of their right, title and interest in, and to, and under the Loan (the “Syndication”), to one or more additional lenders (each a “Co-Lender”). Each additional Co-Lender shall enter into an assignment and assumption agreement (the “Assignment and Assumption”) assigning a portion of Lender’s or Co-Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan, and pursuant to which the additional Co-Lender accepts such assignment and assumes the assigned obligations. From and after the effective date specified in the Assignment and Assumption (i) each Co-Lender shall be a party hereto and to each Loan Document to the extent of the applicable percentage or percentages set forth in the Assignment and Assumption and, except as specified otherwise herein, shall succeed to the rights and obligations of Lender and the Co-Lenders hereunder and thereunder in respect of the Loan, and (ii) Lender, as lender and each Co-Lender, as applicable, shall, to the extent such rights and obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents.
(b) The liabilities of Lender and each of the Co-Lenders shall be several and not joint. Neither Lender nor any Co-Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Co-Lender. If for any reason any of the Co-Lenders shall fail or refuse to abide by their obligations under this Agreement, Lender and the other Co-Lenders shall not be relieved of their obligations, if any, hereunder.
(c) Borrower agrees that it shall, in connection with any sale of all or any portion of the Loan, whether in whole or to an additional Co-Lender or Participant, within ten (10) Business Days after requested by Lender, furnish Lender with the certificates required under Sections 5.1.10 and 5.1.13 hereof and such other information as reasonably requested by any additional Co-Lender or Participant in performing its due diligence in connection with its purchase of an interest in the Loan.
(d) Lender (or an Affiliate of Lender) shall act as administrative agent for itself and the Co-Lenders (together with any successor administrative agent, the “Agent”) pursuant to this Section 9.7. Borrower acknowledges that Lender, as Agent, shall have the sole and exclusive authority to execute and perform this Agreement and each Loan
129
Document on behalf of itself, as Lender and as agent for itself and the Co-Lenders until replaced as Agent pursuant to the terms of the Co-Lending Agreement; provided, however, (i) so long as no Event of Default shall then exist or (ii) Agent shall not be in default under the Co-Lending Agreement (which would entitle the Co-Lenders to replace Agent), Borrower shall have the right to approve any replacement or successor Agent, which such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lender acknowledges that Lender, as Agent, shall retain the exclusive right to grant all approvals and give consents with respect to the operating budgets required to be delivered hereunder and with respect to matters concerning the establishment and administration of the Accounts. Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to recognize or deal directly with any Co-Lender, and no Co-Lender shall have any right to deal directly with Borrower with respect to the rights, benefits and obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any one or more documents or instruments in respect thereof. Borrower may rely conclusively on the actions of Lender as Agent to bind Lender and the Co-Lenders, notwithstanding that the particular action in question may, pursuant to this Agreement or the Co-Lending Agreement be subject to the consent or direction of some or all of the Co-Lenders. Lender may resign as Agent of the Co-Lenders, in its sole discretion or if required to by the Co-Lenders in accordance with the term of the Co-Lending Agreement, in each case without the consent of Borrower. Upon any such resignation, a successor Agent shall be determined pursuant to the terms of the Co-Lending Agreement. The term Agent shall mean any successor Agent.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein (and in the Co-Lending Agreement) and no covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities of Agent shall be implied by or inferred from this Agreement, the Co-Lending Agreement, or any other Loan Document, or otherwise exist against Agent.
(f) Except to the extent its obligations hereunder and its interest in the Loan have been assigned pursuant to one or more Assignments and Assumption, Lender, as Agent, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Co-Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, respectively. The term “Co-Lender” or “Co-Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Lender in its individual capacity. Lender and the other Co-Lenders and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Borrower, or any Affiliate of Borrower and any Person who may do business with or own securities of Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower, all as if they were not serving in such capacities hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to each other.
(g) If required by any Co-Lender, Borrower hereby agrees to execute supplemental notes in the principal amount of such Co-Lender’s pro rata share of the Loan in the same form of the Note (provided any such supplemental note or notes do not represent any new or additional indebtedness), and such supplemental note shall (i) be payable to order of such Co-Lender, (ii) be dated as of the Closing Date, and (iii) mature on the Maturity Date. Such supplemental note shall provide that it evidences a portion of the existing indebtedness hereunder and under the Note and not any new or additional
130
indebtedness of Borrower (it being understood that the aggregate face amount and aggregate principal balance of such supplemental notes together with any other note evidencing the Loan shall not exceed the then-outstanding principal balance of the Loan at the time of the execution of such supplemental notes). Simultaneously with the execution of such supplemental note or notes, Lender shall return the original Note to Borrower. The term “Note” as used in this Agreement and in all the other Loan Documents shall include all such supplemental notes.
(h) Lender, as Agent, shall maintain at its domestic lending office or at such other location as Lender, as Agent, shall designate in writing to each Co-Lender and Borrower a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Co-Lenders, the amount of each Co-Lender’s proportionate share of the Loan and the name and address of each Co-Lender’s agent for service of process (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrower, Lender, as Agent, and the Co-Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Co-Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection and copying by Borrower or any Co-Lender during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent. A Co-Lender may change its address and its agent for service of process upon written notice to Lender, as Agent, which notice shall only be effective upon actual receipt by Lender, as Agent, which receipt will be acknowledged by Lender, as Agent, upon request.
(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any financial institution or other entity may be sold a participation interest in the Loan by Lender or any Co-Lender without Borrower’s consent (such financial institution or entity, a “Participant”) (x) if such sale is without novation and (y) if the other conditions set forth in this paragraph are met. No Participant shall be considered a Co-Lender hereunder or under the Note or the Loan Documents. No Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents and the Participant’s rights in respect of such participation shall be solely against Lender or Co-Lender, as the case may be, as set forth in the participation agreement executed by and between Lender or Co-Lender, as the case may be, and such Participant. No participation shall relieve Lender or Co-Lender, as the case may be, from its obligations hereunder or under the Note or the Loan Documents and Lender or Co- Lender, as the case may be, shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder.
(j) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, Lender or any Co-Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, amounts owing to it in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), provided that no such security interest or the exercise by the secured party of any of its rights thereunder shall release Lender or Co-Lender from its funding obligations hereunder.
131
9.7.3 Cooperation in Syndication.
(a) Borrower agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Lender in completing Syndication satisfactory to Lender. Such assistance shall include (i) direct contact between senior management and advisors of Borrower and the proposed Co-Lenders, (ii) assistance in the preparation of a confidential information memorandum and other marketing materials to be used in connection with the Syndication, (iii) the hosting, with Lender, of one (1) or more meetings of prospective Co-Lenders or with the Rating Agencies, (iv) the delivery of appraisals reasonably satisfactory to Lender if required, and (v) working with Lender to procure a rating for the Loan by the Rating Agencies.
(b) Lender shall manage all aspects of the Syndication of the Loan, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocations of the commitments among the Co-Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Co-Lenders. To assist Lender in its Syndication efforts, Borrower agrees promptly to prepare and provide to Lender all information with respect to Borrower, Manager, and the Properties contemplated hereby, including all financial information and projections (the “Projections”), as Lender may reasonably request in connection with the Syndication of the Loan. Borrower hereby represents and covenants that (i) all information other than the Projections (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to Lender by Borrower or any of its representatives is or will be, to Borrower’s Actual Knowledge, when furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, to Borrower’s Actual Knowledge, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (ii) the Projections that have been or will be made available to Lender by Borrower or any of its representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions. Borrower understands that in arranging and syndicating the Loan, Lender, the Co-Lenders and, if applicable, the Rating Agencies, may use and rely on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof.
(c) If required in connection with the Syndication, Borrower hereby agrees to:
(i) amend the Loan Documents to give Lender the right, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, to have the Properties reappraised on an annual basis;
(ii) deliver updated financial and operating statements (as may be required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1.10 hereof) and other information reasonably required by Lender (as may be required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1.10 hereof) to facilitate the Syndication;
(iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver reliance letters reasonably satisfactory to Lender with respect to the environmental assessments and reports delivered to Lender prior to the Closing Date, at
132
Lender’s sole cost and expense, which will run to Lender and its successors and assigns;
(iv) subject to the terms of Section 9.7.4, if Lender elects, in its sole discretion, prior to or upon a Syndication, to split the Loan into two (2) or more parts, or the Note into multiple component notes or tranches which may have different interest rates, principal amounts, maturities, and priorities, Borrower agrees to reasonably cooperate with Lender in connection with the foregoing and, subject in all cases to the applicable provisions of Section 9.5 hereof, to execute the required modifications and amendments to the Note, this Agreement and the Loan Documents and to provide opinions necessary to effectuate the same. Such notes or components or tranches may be assigned different interest rates, so long as the weighted average of such interest rates does not exceed the Applicable Interest Rate (except for any deviation attributable to the imposition of any rate of interest at the Default Rate or prepayments pursuant to Section 2.3.2 or 2.3.3 hereof);
(v) Subject to the terms of Section 9.5 hereof, execute such other modifications to the Loan Documents reasonably required by the Co-Lenders; and
(vi) amend the Organizational Documents of Mortgage Borrower and Mortgage Principal to “opt into” Article 8 of the UCC and in connection therewith, certificate the interests comprising the Collateral, deliver such certificates to Lender in accordance with the Pledge Agreement and deliver to Lender “springing control” endorsements (or the equivalent thereof) to the UCC Title Insurance Policy.
9.7.4 Payment of Agent’s, and Co-Lender’s Expenses.
All third party costs and expenses and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender in connection with this Agreement and the Syndication shall be paid by Lender (except as otherwise expressly set forth herein). These shall include, but not be limited to, fees and disbursements of legal counsel, accountants, and other professionals retained by Lender and fees and expenses incurred for producing any offering documents or any other materials (including travel by Lender and its agents, design, printing, photograph and document production costs). Solely for the purposes of this Section 9.7, Lender shall reimburse Borrower for all of its actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (other than the fees and expenses of Borrower’s counsel) that Borrower incurs in connection with complying with a request made by Lender under this Section 9.7 in connection with a Syndication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph shall in no way limit or affect any Borrower obligation to pay any costs expressly required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to any other Sections of this Agreement.
133
9.7.5 Intentionally Omitted.
9.7.6 No Joint Venture.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, neither Agent, nor any Co-Lender by entering into this Agreement or by taking any action pursuant hereto, will be deemed a partner or joint venturer with Borrower.
Section 9.8 Restructuring of Loan and/or Mezzanine B Loan; Creation of New Mezzanine Loan(s).
In connection with any Securitization of all or any portion of the Loan, Lender shall have the right (the “Restructuring Option”) at any time to divide the Loan and/or the Mezzanine B Loan into two (2) or more (but no more than five (5)) parts (the “New Mezzanine Loan(s)”). The principal amounts of the New Mezzanine Loan(s) shall equal the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loan and the Mezzanine B Loan immediately prior to the creation of the New Mezzanine Loan(s). In effectuating the foregoing, the lender under the New Mezzanine Loan (the “New Mezzanine Lender”) will make a loan to the direct equity owners of Mezzanine B Borrower (the “New Mezzanine Borrower”); the New Mezzanine Borrower will contribute the amount of such New Mezzanine Loan to Mezzanine B Borrower, and (i) Mezzanine B Borrower will contribute the amount of such New Mezzanine Loan to Borrower, and Borrower will apply the contribution to pay down the Loan and/or (ii) Mezzanine B Borrower will apply such new loan to pay down the Mezzanine B Loan. The New Mezzanine Loan(s) will be on substantially the same terms (including, without limitation, the same material economic terms) and subject to substantially the same conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and/or the Mezzanine B Loan Documents except as follows:
(a) Lender shall have the right to establish different interest rates for the New Mezzanine Loan(s) and to require the payment of the New Mezzanine Loan(s) in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, however, that (i) the total loan amounts for the New Mezzanine Loan(s) shall equal the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loan and the Mezzanine B Loan immediately prior to the creation of the New Mezzanine Loan(s); (ii) the weighted average interest rate of the New Mezzanine Loan(s) shall equal the weighted average interest rate which was applicable to the Loan and the Mezzanine B Loan prior to the creation of the New Mezzanine Loan(s) (except for any deviation attributable to the imposition of any rate of interest at the Default Rate or prepayments pursuant to Section 2.3.2 or 2.3.3 hereof); (iii) [intentionally omitted]; and (iv) no additional recording tax shall be payable as a result of the creation of the New Mezzanine Loan(s) (or, if such additional recording tax is payable, Lender shall pay the same). The New Mezzanine Loan(s) will be governed by the terms of an intercreditor agreement between or among the respective holders of the New Mezzanine Loan(s).
(b) Mezzanine B Borrower, Borrower and New Mezzanine Borrower shall be a special purpose, bankruptcy remote entity pursuant to applicable Rating Agency criteria
134
and shall own directly or indirectly one hundred percent (100%) of Mortgage Borrower, Mezzanine B Borrower or Borrower, as applicable. The security for the New Mezzanine Loan(s) shall be a pledge of one hundred percent (100%) of the direct and indirect ownership interests held by such entity.

It shall be an Event of Default hereunder if Borrower, Mezzanine B Borrower or New Mezzanine Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.8 and such failure shall continue for more than ten (10) Business Days after Borrower, Mezzanine B Borrower or New Mezzanine Borrower, as the case may be, shall have received written notice thereof.
Solely for the purposes of this Section 9.8, Lender shall reimburse Borrower for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, any additional recording tax due and payable by Borrower in connection with such restructuring and any title or UCC insurance premiums, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the insurance policies and endorsements required to be delivered by Borrower pursuant to Section 9.8(c)(vi) hereof, but excluding the fees and expenses of Borrower’s counsel) that Borrower incurs in connection with complying with a request made by Lender under this Section 9.8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph shall in no
135
way limit or affect any obligation of Borrower to pay any costs expressly required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to any other Sections of this Agreement.
Section 9.9 Contributions and Waivers.
(i) As a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Borrower Entity will benefit, directly and indirectly, from each other Borrower Entity’s obligation to pay the Debt and perform its Obligations and in consideration thereof the Borrower Entities desire to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section 9.9 to allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make contributions among each of the Borrower Entities in the event any payment is made by any individual Borrower Entity hereunder to Lender (each such payment being referred to herein as a “Contribution,” which term shall, for purposes of this Section 9.9, include any exercise of recourse by Lender against any Collateral of a Borrower Entity and application of proceeds of such Collateral in satisfaction of such Borrower Entity’s obligations to Lender under the Loan Documents).
(ii) Each Borrower Entity shall be liable hereunder with respect to the Obligations only for such total maximum amount (if any) as would not render its Obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any State law.
(iii) In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among the Borrower Entities in the event that any Contribution is made by an individual Borrower Entity (a “Funding Borrower”), such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a Contribution to reimburse such Funding Borrower (a “Reimbursement Contribution”) from all of the other Borrower Entities for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Borrower in discharging any of the Obligations, in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section 9.9.
(iv) For purposes hereof, the “Benefit Amount” shall mean, with respect to any individual Borrower Entity as of any date of determination, the net value of the benefits to such Borrower Entity and its Affiliates from extensions of credit made by Lender to (a) such Borrower Entity and (b) to the other Borrower Entities hereunder and under the Loan Documents to the extent such other Borrower Entities have pledged their respective Pledged Interests (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) to secure the Obligations of such Borrower Entity to Lender.
(v) Each Borrower Entity shall be liable to a Funding Borrower in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the (i) ratio of the Benefit Amount of such Borrower Entity to the total amount of Obligations, multiplied by (ii) the amount of Obligations paid by such Funding Borrower, and (B) ninety-five percent (95%) of the excess of the fair saleable value of the assets of such Borrower over the total
136
liabilities of such Borrower Entity (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a Funding Borrower is deemed made for purposes hereof (giving effect to all payments made by other Funding Borrowers as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such Contributions).
(vi) In the event that at any time there exist two or more Funding Borrowers with respect to any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then Reimbursement Contributions from the other Borrowers pursuant hereto shall be allocated among such Funding Borrowers in proportion to the respective amounts of the Contribution made for or on account of the other Borrowers by such Funding Borrowers pursuant to the Applicable Contribution. In the event that at any time any Borrower pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this Section 9.9, that Borrower Entity shall be deemed to be a Funding Borrower to the extent of such excess and shall be entitled to a Reimbursement Contribution from the other Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.9.
(vii) Each Borrower Entity acknowledges that the right to Reimbursement Contributions hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the Borrower Entity to which such Reimbursement Contribution is owing.
(viii) No Reimbursement Contribution payments payable by a Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Section 9.9 shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by all of Borrowers to Lender, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, are paid in full in Cash. Nothing contained in this Section 9.9 shall limit or affect in any way the Obligations of any Borrower to Lender under this Note or any other Loan Documents.
(ix) Each Borrower Entity waives:
(A) any right to require Lender to proceed against any other Borrower Entity or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lender at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power before proceeding against any Borrower Entity;
(B) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action against any other Borrower Entity or for the collection of any indebtedness or the performance of any obligation under the Loan;
(C) any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other Borrower Entity, any guarantor of any other person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other Borrower Entity or any guarantor from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Note, this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents;
137
(D) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Borrower Entity or any principal of any other Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Borrower Entity or any principal of any other Borrower Entity;
(E) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal;
(F) any defense based upon any failure by Lender to obtain collateral for the indebtedness of any other Borrower Entity or any failure by Lender to perfect a lien on any collateral of any other Borrower Entity;
(G) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind with respect to the indebtedness of any other Borrower Entity;
(H) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to give notice to such Borrower Entity of the sale or other disposition of any collateral of any other Borrower Entity or to any other person or entity or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of any collateral;
(I) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to comply with Applicable Laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral of any other Borrower Entity, including, without limitation, any failure of Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral;
(J) any defense based upon any election by Lender, in any bankruptcy proceeding, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(6)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute;
(K) any defense based upon any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(L) any defense based upon any agreement or stipulation entered into by Lender with any other Borrower Entity with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding;
(M) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code by any other Borrower Entity;
(N) any defense based upon the avoidance of any security interest granted by any other Borrower Entity in favor of Lender for any reason;
138
(O) any defense based upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations evidenced by the Note or owing under any of the Loan Documents; and
(P) any defense or benefit based upon any Borrower Entity’s, or any other party’s, resignation of the portion of any obligation secured by the Pledge Agreement to be satisfied by any payment from any other Borrower Entity or any such party.
(x) Each Borrower Entity waives:
(A) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even though the election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Loan or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, may have destroyed such Borrower Entity’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Borrower Entity;
(B) intentionally omitted; and
(C) any claim or other right which any Borrower Entity might now have or hereafter acquire against any other Borrower Entity or any other person that arises from the existence or performance of any obligations under the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any of the following: (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution (other than the right to contribution provided for in this Section 9.9), or indemnification; or (ii) any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against any other Borrower Entity or any collateral security therefor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law.
Section 9.10 Certain Additional Rights of Lender; VCOC.
Subject to the terms hereof, Lender shall have the right:
(a) to routinely consult with Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Routine consultation meetings may occur no more frequently than quarterly, with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable time (but not more frequently than once per quarter) and upon reasonable advance notice. Borrower shall have no obligation to adhere to any advice proposed by Lender, except where otherwise specifically required elsewhere in the Loan Documents;
139
(b) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;
(c) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to receive financial reports and other statements as provided in Section 5.1.10 hereof;
(d) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any other significant property;
(e) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to restrict the transfer of interests in Borrower, except for any such transfer that is a permitted transfer, including, without limitation those transfers not deemed “Transfers” under Section 5.2.10(c) hereof;
(f) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to restrict financing to be obtained in connection with future property transactions, refinancing of any acquisition financings, and unsecured debt;
(g) in accordance with the terms of the Agreement Regarding Management Agreement, but without restricting any other right of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to restrict, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower’s payments of management fees to Manager; and
(h) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but without restricting any other right of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to exercise certain approval rights with respect to the proposed annual operating budgets as provided in Section 5.1.10(e) hereof.
The rights described above may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender. Nothing contained in this Section 9.10 is intended (i) to confer upon Lender any rights or privileges greater than those inuring to Lender under the other provisions of this Agreement, (ii) to impose upon Borrower any duties, obligations or liabilities greater than or in addition to those owed by Borrower under the other provisions of this Agreement, or (iii) to constitute Lender a partner or member of Borrower or a third-party beneficiary of Borrower’s Organizational Documents.
Section 9.11 Mortgage Loan Defaults.
(a) Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, if there shall occur any Mortgage Loan Event of Default, and without regard to any other defenses or offset rights Mortgage Borrower may have against Mortgage Lender, Borrower hereby expressly agrees that Lender shall have the immediate right, without notice to or demand on Borrower or Mortgage Borrower, but shall be under no
140
obligation: (i) to pay all or any part of the Mortgage Loan, and any other sums, that are then due and payable and to perform any act or take any action on behalf of Mortgage Borrower, as may be appropriate, to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed thereunder to be timely performed or observed; and (ii) to pay any other amounts and take any other action as Lender shall reasonably determine to be necessary to protect or preserve the rights and interests of Lender in the Loan and/or the Collateral. Lender shall have no obligation to complete any cure or attempted cure undertaken or commenced by Lender. All sums so paid and the costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees), with interest at the Default Rate, for the period from the date of demand by Lender to Borrower for such payments to the date of payment to Lender, shall constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and shall be due and payable to Lender within ten (10) days following demand therefor.
(b) Subject to the rights of tenants, Borrower hereby grants, and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to grant, Lender and any Person designated by Lender the right to enter upon the Property at any time for the purpose of carrying out the rights granted to Lender under this Section 9.11.
(c) Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless Lender from and against all actual out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought, and settlement costs), and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender as a result of the foregoing actions described in Section 9.11(a) other than liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses and disbursements arising out of the fraud, illegal acts, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Lender shall have no obligation to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any other party to make any such payment or performance. Borrower shall not impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to not impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Lender to cure any default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s interests in the Loan and the Collateral following a default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan, in either case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(d) If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default sent by Mortgage Lender to Mortgage Borrower, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon. As a material inducement to Lender’s making the Loan, Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and waives all claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Section other than claims arising out of the fraud, illegal acts, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of the Mortgage Loan,
141
Lender shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all of the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents against the Property, in addition to all other rights it may have under the Loan Documents.
Section 9.12 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 9.13 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 9.14 Intercreditor Agreements.
(a) Lender, Mortgage Lender, Mezzanine B Lender and Bank Loan Agent are parties to one or more intercreditor agreements dated as of the date hereof (collectively, the “Intercreditor Agreements”) memorializing their relative rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Loan, the Mezzanine B Loan, the Bank Loan, Mortgage Borrower, Borrower, Mezzanine B Borrower, Bank Loan Borrower and the Properties. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) such Intercreditor Agreements are intended solely for the benefit of Lender, Mezzanine B Lender, Mortgage Lender and Bank Loan Agent and (ii) Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Mezzanine B Borrower and Bank Loan Borrower are not intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein and shall not be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Lender, Mortgage Lender, Mezzanine B Lender and Bank Loan Agent shall have no obligation to disclose to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Mezzanine B Borrower or Bank Loan Borrower the contents of the Intercreditor Agreements. Borrower’s obligations hereunder are independent of such Intercreditor Agreements and remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.
(b) In the event the Lender is required pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements to pay over to Mortgage Lender or Mezzanine B Lender any payment or distribution of assets, whether in cash, property or securities which is applied to the Debt, including, without limitation, any proceeds of the Properties previously received by Lender on account of the Loan, then Borrower shall indemnify Lender for any amounts so paid, and any amount so paid shall continue to be owing pursuant to the Loan Documents as part of the Debt notwithstanding the prior receipt of such payment by Lender.
Section 9.15 Discussions with Mortgage Lender.
(a) In connection with the exercise of its rights set forth in the Loan Documents, Lender shall have the right at any time to discuss the Properties, the Mortgage Loan, the Loan, the Mezzanine B Loan, or any other matter directly with Mortgage Lender or Mortgage Lender’s consultants, agents or representatives without notice to or permission from Borrower or any other Loan Party. Lender shall not have any obligation to disclose such discussions or the contents thereof with Borrower or any other Loan Party.
(b) In connection with the exercise of its rights set forth in the Loan Documents, Lender shall have the right at any time to discuss the Properties, the Mortgage Loan, the Mezzanine B Loan, the Loan or any other matter directly with
142
Mezzanine B Lender or Mezzanine B Lender’s consultants, agents or representatives without notice to or permission from Borrower or any other Loan Party. Lender shall not have any obligation to disclose such discussions or the contents thereof with Borrower or any other Loan Party.
Section 9.16 Independent Approval Rights.
If any action, proposed action or other decision is consented to or approved by Mortgage Lender, such consent or approval shall not, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, be binding or controlling on Lender. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the risks of Mortgage Lender in making the Mortgage Loan are different from the risks of Lender in making the Loan, (ii) [intentionally omitted], (iii) [intentionally omitted], (iv) in determining whether to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval Mortgage Lender and Lender may reasonably reach different conclusions, and (v) Lender has an independent right to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval based on its own point of view, subject, however, to any requirements of reasonableness or good faith expressly set forth in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Further, the denial by Lender of a requested consent or approval shall not, provided such denial shall not constitute a default by Lender under this Agreement, create any liability or other obligation of Lender if the denial of such consent or approval results directly or indirectly in a default under the Mortgage Loan and Borrower hereby waives any claim of liability against Lender arising from any such denial, provided such denial shall not constitute a default by Lender under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.16, to the extent that Mortgage Lender requires Mortgage Borrower to perform, or refrain from performing, any action pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, Lender shall not withhold its consent to the performance or, or the refraining from performing, such action only if such failure to act or refrain from acting by Mortgage Borrower (after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods) would be a Mortgage Loan Event of Default.
X. MISCELLANEOUS
Section 10.1 Survival.
This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid, unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.3 Governing Law.
(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT ENTERED INTO PURSUANT TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED, CONSTRUED, APPLIED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS).

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
144
Section 10.5 Delay Not a Waiver.
Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A
146
COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY THE OTHER PARTY.
Section 10.8 Headings.
The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 10.9 Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 10.10 Preferences.
Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, State or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice.
Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provides for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents does not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrower.
In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.
147
The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender within five (5) days of receipt of written notice from Lender, for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) [intentionally omitted]; (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters reasonably requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Collateral, any Mortgage Principal’s general partner interest in the related Mortgage Borrower Entity, the Properties or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Collateral or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “workout” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment or reimbursement of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds

of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses or disbursements, as the case may be, arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under Applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
(c) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless Lender and the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all losses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, and settlement of losses incurred in correcting any prohibited transaction or in the sale of a prohibited loan, and in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA, the Code, any State statute or other similar law that may be required, in Lender’s sole discretion) that Lender may incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of a default under Sections 4.1.8 or 5.2.8 hereof.
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for any customary fees or expenses payable to any Rating Agency in connection with any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.
Section 10.14 Schedules and Exhibits Incorporated.
The Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.
Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to the Loan and the Loan Documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon the Loan or the Loan Documents, and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationship created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein
149
or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy in common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower, and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, for all purposes, shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets; Cross-Default; Cross Collateralization.
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Collateral, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Pledge Agreement, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Properties for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any portion of the Collateral, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of any portion of the Collateral or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any portion of the Collateral or any combination of portions of the Collateral before proceeding against any other portion of the Collateral or combination of portions of the Collateral; and Borrower hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender in the event of such foreclosure, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any portion of the Collateral or combination of portions of the Collateral.
(b) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Collateral and in reliance upon the aggregate
150
of the Collateral taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of any portion of the Collateral taken separately.
Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim.
Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance.
In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any direct or indirect equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors.
Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 10.22 Prior Agreements.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written,
151
between Borrower and/or its Affiliates and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23 Joint and Several Liability.
If Borrower consists of more than one Person, the obligations and liabilities of each such Person hereunder (as the same may be limited by any applicable provisions of Section 9.4 hereof) are joint and several.
Section 10.24 USA Patriot Act.
Each Lender hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Borrower in accordance with such Act.
