2.1.3 The Notes, Security Instruments and Loan Documents. The Loan shall be evidenced by this Agreement and the Notes (in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.1.3) and secured by the Security Instruments, the Assignment of Leases and the other Loan Documents.

Section 2.2 Interest; Principal; Loan Payments: Late Payment Charge.
2.2.1 Payments.
(a) Interest. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from and including the Closing Date to the Maturity Date at the Applicable Interest Rate. Monthly installments of interest only shall be paid on each Payment Date commencing December 1, 2010 and on each subsequent Payment Date thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date. Accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
26
(b) Principal. The Loan shall be amortized at a rate of 0.25% of the original Loan amount per quarter. Quarterly installments of principal shall be paid on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing March 1, 2011 and on each subsequent Quarterly Payment Date thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
(c) All payments and other amounts due under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made without any setoff, defense or irrespective of, and without deduction for, counterclaims.
2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate equal to the Applicable Interest Rate divided by three hundred sixty (360) by (c) the outstanding principal balance. Any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on which such change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective. Each determination by Administrative Agent of the Applicable Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
2.2.3 Eurodollar Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs.
(a) In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower and each Lender absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, then Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period, with a written confirmation of such determination promptly thereafter. If such notice is given, the Loan shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate without reference to the total LIBOR component of the Alternate Base Ratio beginning on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period. If, pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.2.3(a), the Loan is bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate and Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower and each Lender absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to Borrower by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower as soon as reasonably practical, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period. If such notice is given, the Loan shall bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate beginning on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to have the Loan bear interest at either the Eurodollar Rate or the Alternate Base Rate.
(b) If any Change in Law shall hereafter make it unlawful for any Lender in good faith to make or maintain its portion of the Loan bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, (I) the obligation of the applicable Lender hereunder to make the portion of the Loan bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate shall be canceled forthwith and (II) the portion of the Loan shall automatically bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate on the next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier period as required by Applicable Law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay the applicable Lender (within ten (10) Business Days of such Lender’s written demand therefor), any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by such Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including without limitation any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of
27
funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the Loan hereunder. Upon written demand from Borrower, the applicable Lender shall demonstrate in reasonable detail the circumstances giving rise to such Lender’s determination and the calculation substantiating the Alternate Base Rate and any additional costs incurred by such Lender in making the conversion. The applicable Lender’s written notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(c) In the event that any Change in Law, or compliance in good faith by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any Governmental Authority:
(i) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of any Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;
(ii) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return of any Lender or its holding company on its capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy); or
(iii) shall, if the Loan is then bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, hereafter impose on any Lender any other condition, the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder.
then, in any such case (other than with respect to any taxes), Borrower shall promptly pay the applicable Lender (within ten (10) days of such Lender’s written demand therefor), any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable other than any amounts related to taxes. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(c), such Lender shall provide Borrower (through Administrative Agent) with at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event or circumstance by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional, actual amount required to fully compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount, together with a certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by such Lender (through Administrative Agent) to Borrower, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Notes and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under the Notes, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
28
(d) Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which any Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (I) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on the Loan while bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, including without limitation any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by any Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate, (II) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Loan on a day that (A) is not a Payment Date or (B) is a Payment Date if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by any Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate hereunder and (III) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever) of the Applicable Interest Rate from the Eurodollar Rate to the Alternate Base Rate with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate on a date other than a Payment Date, including without limitation such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by any Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (I), (II) and (III) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify any Lender from any loss or expense arising from such Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This provision shall survive payment of the Notes and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The applicable Lender (through Administrative Agent) shall provide Borrower a statement detailing Breakage Costs.
2.2.4 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Notes, the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation all interest that accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan through and including the Maturity Date.
2.2.5 Payments after Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan, shall accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Security Instruments. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege, to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Financing Parties by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default; and Financing Parties retain their respective rights under the Notes to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening of any Event of Default.
2.2.6 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of two percent (2%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law in order to defray the expense incurred by Administrative Agent in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Financing Parties for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
2.2.7 Usury Savings. This Agreement and the Notes are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject any Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the
29
Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
2.2.8 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) Administrative Agent or Lenders, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
(e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested
30
by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower or Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
(i) duly completed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
(ii) duly completed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or
(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax (including without limitation, Internal Revenue Service FormW-8IMY) duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Lender or Administrative Agent (i) shall become aware that it is entitled to receive a refund in respect of amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section, which refund in the sole good faith judgment of such Lender or Administrative Agent is allocable to such payment and (ii) determines in its sole good faith judgment that applying for such refund will not be materially disadvantageous to it, it shall promptly notify Borrower of the availability of such refund and shall within thirty (30) days after receipt of a request by Borrower, apply for such refund. If Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Borrower, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any
31
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.
Section 2.3 Prepayments.
2.3.1 Voluntary Prepayments.
(a) Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may, at its option, make voluntary prepayments of the Loan in whole or in part at par, on any date upon satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) Borrower shall provide prior written notice to the Administrative Agent specifying the date (the “Prepayment Date”) upon which the prepayment is anticipated to be made, which notice shall be delivered to Administrative Agent not less than twenty (20) days prior to such payment. Borrower shall be permitted to revoke or modify its notice of prepayment so long as Borrower reimburses each Financing Party for its out-of-pocket costs and expenses resulting from such revocation;
(ii) all amounts paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.3.l(a) shall be allocated in accordance with Section 2.3A.2;
(iii) simultaneously with such prepayment of the principal of the Loan, Borrower shall pay (A) all accrued and unpaid interest calculated at the Applicable Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the Prepayment Date, (B) Breakage Costs, if any, and (C) all other sums then due and owing under the Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to the Secured Obligations;
(iv) such prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000.00 or any integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof; and
(v) such prepayment shall be accompanied by the applicable Prepayment Premium, if any.
(b)(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including the provisions of Sections 2.3.1 (a) and 2.3.2), Borrower, may, at its option, make voluntary prepayments on the Loan on a non-pro rata basis at a discount to par value; provided that
(A) all such prepayments must be offered to all Lenders;
(B) the Borrower shall have confirmed that at the time of the prepayment, it does not have any material non-public information (“MNPI”) that either has not been disclosed to the Lenders or would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on, or otherwise be material to, the market price of such Loan or a Lender’s decision to participate in any such discounted voluntary prepayment;
(C) the undiscounted aggregate principal amount of all such prepayments during the term of this Agreement shall not exceed $6,000,000; and
32
(D) no Default or Event of Default shall exist immediately before or immediately after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis.
(ii) In any such case, the Borrower will provide written notice to the Administrative Agent of its interest in making a prepayment on the Loan at a discount to par (a “Request for Solicitation”), including an estimate of the amount of the prepayment (or a range thereof), an indication of the discount to par requested (or range thereof) and the proposed date of prepayment which shall be not more than ten (10) Business Days following the Request for Solicitation.
(iii) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders upon receipt of any such Request for Solicitation. Interested Lenders must provide a written offer for prepayment to the Administrative Agent (an “Offer for Discounted Prepayment”) within three (3) Business Days of the Request for Solicitation, including therein the principal amount of the Loan (which may be all or part of the Loan held by the offering Lender) as to which the Lender is willing to accept prepayment and the discount to par as to which it is willing to accept. Any such Offer for Discounted Prepayment shall be effective for at least four (4) Business Days and shall be irrevocable.
(iv) The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower promptly upon receipt of any such Offers for Discounted Prepayment. The Borrower may accept as many or as few of the Offers for Discounted Prepayment by written notice to the Administrative Agent within two (2) Business Days following receipt of notice of the Offers for Discounted Prepayment; provided that (A) such offers must be accepted in descending order of discount (that is, the Borrower must accept the greatest discount first, then the next greatest discount, and so on), and (B) in the case of a tie, the prepayment must be applied on a pro rata basis to the offering Lenders based on the principal amount of the Loan offered for prepayment. The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders that provided Offers for Discounted Prepayment as to whether or not their offer was accepted and, in the case of acceptance, the principal amount subject to prepayment. The Borrower will make the prepayment not more than ten (10) Business Days following the Request for Solicitation by payment of the discounted principal amount (such payment amount to be calculated in accordance with Section 2.3A.2) to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the respective Lenders.
(v) The Administrative Agent will give notice to the Lenders of all such prepayments, including the undiscounted principal amount of the prepayment.
(vi) In each such case,
(A) the undiscounted principal amount of the Loan which is the subject of the prepayment will be deemed paid, redeemed and canceled for all purposes and no longer outstanding;
(B) the Borrower will also pay (1) all accrued and unpaid interest calculated at the Applicable Interest Rate on the undiscounted principal amount of the Loan which is the subject of the prepayment, (2) Breakage Costs, if any, (3) the applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, and (4) all other sums then due and owing under the Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to the Secured Obligations;
33
(C) the undiscounted principal amount of the prepayment will be applied pro rata to remaining scheduled principal amortization payments of the Loan for the Lenders receiving the prepayment of the discounted principal amount of the Loan; and
(D) all amounts paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.3.l(b) shall be allocated in accordance with Section 2.3A.2; provided, with respect to FOURTH through SEVENTH of Section 2.3A.2, such amounts shall be calculated and payable only with respect to the Lenders receiving the prepayment of the discounted principal amount of the Loan.
2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Borrower actually receives any Net Proceeds or sooner, if requested by Borrower, if and to the extent Administrative Agent is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of any Property, Borrower shall prepay or Administrative Agent shall apply one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds, either in accordance with Section 2.3A.2 (if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such prepayment) or in accordance with Section 2.3A.3 (if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such prepayment). There shall be no Prepayment Premium in connection with a prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.3.2. The allocated Loan amount with respect to the Property for which such Net Proceeds were paid shall be reduced in an amount equal to the principal portion of such prepayment in accordance with Sections 2.3A.2 or 2.3A.3, as applicable. If, in connection with any Casualty or Condemnation at any individual Property, Administrative Agent is not required to make the Net Proceeds available to Borrower for a Restoration or otherwise to remit such Net Proceeds to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, at Borrower’s option, Administrative Agent shall release the applicable individual Property from the lien of the applicable Security Instrument and related Loan Documents provided that (i) Borrower shall pay Administrative Agent (A) an amount which, when added to the amount of Net Proceeds received in connection with such Casualty or Condemnation, equals the Applicable Release Price for such individual Property for which Net Proceeds were paid, (B) interest on the principal amount of the Loan prepaid to the date of such prepayment and (C) all other sums then due and owing under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that any amounts of any previous voluntary principal prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.3.1 (a) and the undiscounted principal amount of the Loan which is the subject of any previous voluntary principal prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.3.l(b), in each case for which no Property was released shall be credited against the Applicable Release Price, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (iii) Borrower shall provide to Administrative Agent a release of the applicable Security Instruments as they relate to such individual Property and related Loan Documents in a form appropriate for the jurisdiction in which the applicable individual Property is located and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Administrative Agent for execution by Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any Property that is released from the lien of the applicable Security Instruments must be conveyed by Borrower to another entity.
2.3.3 Prepayments After Default. If, following an Event of Default, Borrower tenders payment of all or any part of the Debt, or if all or any portion of the Debt is recovered by Financing Parties (including without limitation through any application of any Reserve Fund) after such Event of Default, Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, (i) all accrued and unpaid interest calculated at the Applicable Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the date of such payment, (ii) Breakage Costs, if any, (iii) the applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, and (iv) all other sums then due and owing or accrued and unpaid under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents.
34
2.3.4 Making of Payments. Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the Notes shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on or prior to the date such payment is due, to Administrative Agent by deposit to such account as Administrative Agent may designate by written notice to Borrower. No such payment shall be tendered on any day which is not a Business Day.
2.3.5 Application of Payments. All payments received pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.3A.

2.3A.2 Allocation of Prepayments Prior to Event of Default. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, prepayments of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.3 shall be applied as follows:

2.3A.3 Allocation of Payments After Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, proceeds from any payments (including prepayments under Section 2.3) or proceeds arising after the exercise of remedies hereunder (or after the Loan shall automatically become due and payable in accordance with the terms of Section 8.2), all amounts collected or received by Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of the obligations of Borrower or any other amounts outstanding under any of the Loan Documents or in respect of the Collateral shall be paid over or delivered as follows (irrespective of whether the following costs, expenses, fees, interest, premiums, scheduled periodic payments or of the obligations of Borrower under any of the Loan Documents are allowed, permitted or recognized as a claim in any proceeding resulting from the occurrence of a bankruptcy event):

All prepayments of principal pursuant to Section 2.3 shall be applied to principal installments in inverse order of maturity.
Section 2.4 Hedging Agreement.

The Counterparty shall be obligated under the Hedging Agreement to make monthly payments thereunder calculated on the notional amount. The notional amount of the Hedging Agreement may be reduced (and Administrative Agent shall consent to such reduction) from time to time in amounts equal to any prepayment of the principal (if any) of the Loan in accordance with Sections 2.3 and 2.3A hereof. The Hedging Agreement shall be written on the then current standard ISDA documentation, and shall provide for interest periods and calculations consistent with the payment terms of this Agreement.

All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Hedging Agreement shall be deposited immediately into the Cash Management Account to be applied in accordance with Article III hereof. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to enforce Administrative Agent’s rights under the Hedging Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder without the Administrative Agent’s consent.

(e) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Administrative Agent the Hedging Agreement or any Replacement Hedging Agreement as and when required hereunder, Lenders (through Administrative Agent) may purchase such Hedging Agreement or
38
Replacement Hedging Agreement and the cost incurred by Lenders in purchasing such Hedging Agreement or Replacement Hedging Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lenders until such cost is paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent.

(2) the execution and delivery of the Hedging Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;
(3) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Hedging Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and
(4) the Hedging Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
Section 2.5 Release on Payment in Full.
Administrative Agent shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all Secured Obligations due and owing or accrued, release (or, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, assign the Security Instruments and Notes to a party requested by Borrower) the Lien of the Security Instruments on the Properties not theretofore released.

(b) Borrower shall submit to Administrative Agent, not less than twenty (20) days prior to any date on which the prepayment will be made, a release (or assignment) of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for such individual Property for execution by Administrative Agent.

(d) All actual costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with such releases or assignments, including reasonable legal fees, shall be paid by Borrower. Any assignments made by Administrative Agent shall be without recourse, representation or warranty by Administrative Agent.
(e) At any time and for whatever reason (including without limitation in connection with the application of Net Proceeds), if one or more Properties are to be released from the lien of the applicable Security Instruments and related Loan Documents and such release would result in the outstanding principal balance of the Loan being less than $30,000,000, then there shall be no such release unless, concurrent with such release, all Secured Obligations are repaid in full.
Section 2.7 Fees.
Borrower shall pay all fees in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Fee Letter.
Section 2.8 Defaulting Lenders.
(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
40
(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.38.
(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.41), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: FIRST, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; SECOND, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; THIRD, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and FOURTH, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loan to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Percentages, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
Section 2.9 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.2.3(c), or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.2.8, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its portion of the Loan hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.2.3(c) or 2.2.8, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
41
disadvantageous to such Lender (and the Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment); and
(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.2.3(c), if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.2.8, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.40), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee (which Eligible Assignee, if not otherwise identified by such Lender, shall be the obligation of Borrower to identify) that shall assume such obligations; provided, that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its portion of the Loan, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it under the Loan Documents, from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.2.3(c) or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.2.9, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply; provided, further, to the extent any Lender is required to make such an assignment and delegation as described above but neither such Lender nor Borrower is able to identify an Eligible Assignee, then such Lender shall continue as a Lender hereunder.

Section 5.1 Affirmative Covenants.
From the date hereof and until payment and performance in full of all Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Financing Parties that:
5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements.
(a) Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises, and comply, in all material respects, with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and the Properties. Borrower shall notify Financing Parties promptly upon its receipt of any written notice or order that Borrower receives from any Governmental Authority relating to Borrower’s failure to comply with such applicable Legal Requirements relating to any Property and promptly take or cause Manager to take any and all actions necessary to bring its operations at each Property into material compliance with such applicable Legal Requirement (and shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of such Legal Requirements that at any time are applicable to its operations at each Property). Borrower shall not commit, nor knowingly permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of any Property to commit any act affording the federal government or any State or local government the right of forfeiture against any Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep each Property in good working order and repair (reasonable wear and use excluded), and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Security Instruments. Borrower shall keep each Property insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in this Agreement.
(b) After prior written notice to Financing Parties, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower or any Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all Applicable Laws; (iii) no Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower or such Property; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by any Financing Party, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Administrative Agent may apply any such security or part thereof, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the judgment of Administrative Agent, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally
61
established or such Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
5.1.2 Applicable Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower shall pay all Applicable Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against each Property or any part thereof as the same become due and payable. Borrower shall furnish to Financing Parties, promptly upon request from any Financing Party, receipts, or other evidence for the payment of the Applicable Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent (provided, however, that Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Applicable Taxes in the event that such Applicable Taxes have been paid by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof). Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against each Property, and shall promptly cause to be paid all utility services provided to each Property. After prior written notice to Financing Parties, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Applicable Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all Applicable Laws; (iii) no Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in unreasonable danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Applicable Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Applicable Taxes or Other Charges from such Property; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by any Financing Party, to insure the payment of any such Applicable Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon. Administrative Agent may apply such security or part thereof held by Administrative Agent at any time when, in the judgment of Administrative Agent, the validity or applicability of such Applicable Taxes or Other Charges are established or such Property (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be in unreasonable danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any danger of the Lien of any Security Instrument being primed by any related Lien.
5.1.3 Litigation. Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Financing Parties of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened in writing against Borrower or Guarantor which, if determined adversely to Borrower or Guarantor, would be reasonably likely to materially adversely affect Borrower’s or Guarantor’s condition (financial or otherwise) or business or any Property.

5.1.16 Leasing Matters.
(a) Borrower may enter into or approve a proposed Lease (including the renewal or extension of an existing Lease (a “Renewal Lease”)) without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, provided such proposed Lease or Renewal Lease (i) provides for rental rates and terms comparable to existing local market rates and terms (taking into account the type and quality of the tenant) as of the date such Lease is executed by Borrower (unless, in the case of a Renewal Lease, the rent payable during such renewal, or a formula or other method to compute such rent, is provided for in the original Lease), (ii) is an arms-length transaction, (iii) does not, in Borrower’s good faith judgment, have a material adverse effect on the value or quality of the relevant Property, (iv) is subject and subordinate to the applicable Security Instrument and the lessee thereunder agrees to attorn to Administrative Agent, (v) is written on a form of lease reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent with modifications typically found in similar leases, (vi) with regard to any renewal or extension of the Master Lease, such renewal or extension must satisfy all requirements for renewal or extension as set forth in the Master Lease and (vii) with regard to any renewal or extension of any Ground Lease such renewal or extension must be satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

At the request of any Financing Party, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Financing Parties copies of all Leases which are entered into pursuant to this subsection together with Borrower’s written statement that it has satisfied all of the conditions of this Section.

A termination of a Lease (other than the Master Lease or any Ground Lease) with a tenant who is in default beyond applicable notice and grace periods shall not be considered an action which has a material adverse effect on the value of the 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 written approval of Administrative Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, at Borrower’s expense.

5.1.17 Management Agreement; Brokerage Agreement.
(a) Borrower and Financing Parties acknowledge that the Properties are self-managed by the tenant under the Master Lease, and that there is no management agreement as of the date hereof. In the event the Improvements shall be operated under the terms and conditions of a management agreement, in no event shall the management fees under the Management Agreement exceed three (3%) of the Gross Income from Operations. Borrower may not enter into a management agreement that is not a Qualified Management Agreement. Upon the execution of a management agreement, Borrower shall (i) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the management agreement, on the part of Borrower to be performed and observed to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of Borrower under the management agreement and (ii) promptly notify Financing Parties of the giving of any notice by Manager to Borrower of any default by Borrower in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the management agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed and observed and deliver to Financing Parties a true copy of each such notice. Borrower shall not surrender the management agreement, consent to the assignment by the Manager of its interest under the management agreement, or terminate or cancel the management agreement, or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the management agreement, in any respect, either orally or in writing without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed provided the Properties shall at all times be managed by a Qualified Manager. Upon the execution of a Qualified Management Agreement, Borrower shall assign to Administrative Agent as further security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, all the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrower to surrender the management agreement, or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the management agreement, in any respect, and any such surrender of the management agreement, or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the management agreement, without the prior consent of Administrative Agent shall be void and of no force and effect. If Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the management agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or Observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Administrative Agent shall have the right upon notice to Borrower, but shall be under no obligation, to cause Lenders to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of the management agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under the management agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. Financing Parties and any Person designated by any Financing Party shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Properties at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If the Manager shall deliver to Financing Parties a copy of any notice sent to Borrower of default under the management agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Financing Parties for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Financing Parties in good faith, in reliance thereon. Borrower shall not, and shall not permit the Manager to, sub-contract any or all of its management responsibilities under the management agreement to a third-party without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Borrower shall, from time to time, use reasonable efforts to obtain from the Manager such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Borrower with the terms of the management agreement as may be requested by any Financing Party, provided that after the Closing Date, Financing Parties shall have the right to request such an estoppel not more than one (1) time per calendar year. Borrower shall exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of the management agreement upon demand by
68
Administrative Agent made at any time prior to the last day upon which any such option may be exercised. Any sums expended by any Financing Party pursuant to this paragraph (i) shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to any Financing Party, (ii) shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt, (iii) shall be secured by the lien of the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents and (iv) shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by the applicable Financing Party therefor.

(a) Borrower shall not pay, or permit the payment of, development fees, management fees, brokerage or leasing fees or commissions or any other compensation of any form whatsoever to any Affiliate or any direct or indirect partner, member, shareholder or Affiliate thereof, or request disbursement of funds from any Financing Party for such purpose, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent. Any contracts or agreements relating to any Property in any manner between or among Affiliates or their respective direct or indirect partners, members, shareholders or Affiliates (collectively, the “Affiliate Agreements”) shall be made on an arms-length basis and shall be subject to the prior written approval of Administrative Agent; and the parties to each Affiliate Agreement shall acknowledge and agree that such
76

This provision shall apply to every Transfer regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Administrative Agent has consented to any previous Transfer.

Each such Material Agreement and each recognition agreement relating thereto, shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent in all respects, including the amount of the costs and fees thereunder.
(b) Borrower will not amend, modify, supplement, rescind, terminate, restate or otherwise permit any waiver or forbearance with regard to any Material Agreement, without approval of Administrative Agent, including the identity of the party to perform services under such agreement. If a material or service provider under a Material Agreement is in default in its obligations thereunder to the extent entitling Borrower to rescind or terminate that agreement, then if Administrative Agent so requires (but not otherwise), Borrower will promptly use all reasonable efforts to terminate that agreement and appoint a new party in its place, with such identity and terms of appointment approved by Administrative Agent.

All proceeds in the Rent Reserve Account shall constitute additional collateral for the Secured Obligations, unless and until such time as the Rent Coverage Ratio exceeds 2.50 to 1.00 for two consecutive fiscal quarters, and, in such case, if no Event of Default has occurred and be continuing at such time, Administrative Agent shall give notice to Cash Management Bank of the Cash Sweep Cure, and Cash Management Bank shall be instructed to release the funds in the Rent Reserve Account to Borrower.

Section 6.2 Casualty.
If any Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Financing Parties and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of such Property as nearly as possible to the condition such Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Administrative Agent and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4.

Lenders shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Notes. If any Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall, promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of such Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If any Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by
82
Administrative Agent of the Award, Administrative Agent shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Notes shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
Section 6.4 Restoration.
The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of any Property:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than five percent (5%) of the allocated Loan amount for the applicable Property set forth on Schedule 1.1(a) (the “Restoration Threshold”) and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Administrative Agent to Borrower upon receipt, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Borrower delivers to Administrative Agent a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, Administrative Agent shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The term “Net Proceeds” shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Administrative Agent pursuant to Sections 6.1(a)(i), (iv), (vi), (vii) and (ix) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of all reasonable costs and expenses of Administrative Agent (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the gross amount of the Award, after deduction of all reasonable costs and expenses of Financing Parties (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”).

(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the relevant Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting such Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of such Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;
(C) [Reserved].
(D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than seventy-five (75) days after such Casualty or Condemnation occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion in compliance with all Applicable Laws, including without limitation all applicable Environmental Laws. For purposes of this subsection (D), the commencement of plans and specifications for the Restoration shall be deemed commencement of Restoration, provided Borrower thereafter diligently continues to proceed to complete such plans and specifications;
83
(E) Administrative Agent shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Notes, which will be incurred with respect to such Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii) hereof, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(F) Administrative Agent shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date (as may be extended), (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases which are required in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) to remain in effect subsequent to the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation and the completion of the Restoration, (3) such time as may be required under Applicable Law, in order to repair and restore such Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii);
(G) such Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all Applicable Laws;
(H) [Reserved];
(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the total loss of access to such Property or the Improvements;
(J) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Administrative Agent a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent acting reasonably; and
(K) the Net Proceeds together with any Cash or Cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Administrative Agent are sufficient in Administrative Agent’s discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Administrative Agent in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Secured Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other Liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on such Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
84
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration, the cost of which is greater than $1,000,000.00 shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Administrative Agent and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Administrative Agent (the “Casualty Consultant”). Administrative Agent shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration the cost of which is greater than $1,000,000.00, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Administrative Agent and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or Lenders in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including without limitation reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv) In no event shall Administrative Agent be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to (i) ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration with respect to the first 50% of such work and (ii) five percent (5%) of the costs actually incurred with respect to the balance of such work, in either case, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the’ provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Administrative Agent receives evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Administrative Agent will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy for such Property, and Administrative Agent receives an endorsement to such Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the Lien of the applicable Security Instrument and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Administrative Agent, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
85
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Administrative Agent in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, if any, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit with Administrative Agent (A) in cash or (B) a Letter of Credit or other security reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Administrative Agent shall be held by Administrative Agent and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Secured Obligations.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Administrative Agent after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Administrative Agent of evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be deposited into the Cash Management Account, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Notes, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be deposited into the Cash Management Account pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Administrative Agent toward the payment of the Debt (without payment of any Prepayment Premium) whether or not then due and payable pursuant to Section 2.3A.2. If Administrative Agent shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the Lien of the Security Instruments shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Administrative Agent and actually applied by Administrative Agent in reduction of the principal of the Debt pursuant to Section 2.3A.2.
Section 6.5 Authorization of Administrative Agent to Accept or Reject Rejectable Offers.
The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) in connection with Section 14(c) of the Master Lease, Administrative Agent is authorized to accept or reject any Rejectable Offer (as such term is defined in the Master Lease) on behalf of Borrower, in its capacity as landlord under the Master Lease, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement at the time of decision regarding such acceptance or rejection and (b) Administrative Agent shall have no liability to Borrower on account of Administrative Agent’s acceptance or rejection of any such Rejectable Offer, and such acceptance or rejection shall in no way constitute a defense to the full payment and performance of all Borrower’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.
From and during continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent on the Business Day following the date of occurrence of such Event of Default the accrued and unpaid Applicable Taxes as of such date and the accrued and unpaid Insurance Premiums as of such date and thereafter on the date immediately preceding each Payment Date (and if such day is not a Business Day then the preceding day which is a Business Day), for deposit into the Tax Account and Insurance Premium Account, as applicable: (a) one-twelfth of the Applicable Taxes (the “Monthly Tax Deposit”) that Administrative Agent estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums (the “Monthly Insurance Premium Deposit”) (said amounts payable as of the occurrence of an Event of Default referenced above in this sentence and such other amounts payable in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund (from and during the continuance of an Event of Default) and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Notes and this Agreement, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Administrative Agent. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Administrative Agent may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Applicable Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Applicable Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Administrative Agent shall credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after any Event of Default has been cured or waived in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement or otherwise after the Secured Obligations have been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. If at any time Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Applicable Taxes and Insurance Premiums thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase or resume its monthly payments until Borrower deposited the amount that Administrative Agent estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency.
Section 7.3 Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Fund.
On the Closing Date or pursuant to the terms of the next following sentence, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the estimated costs (the “Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Amount”) of deferred maintenance, replacement and environmental remediation (the “Deferred Maintenance and Remediation”) as referenced in the Physical Conditions Report and the Environmental Report and specifically listed on Schedule 7.3 attached hereto, which Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Amount shall be deposited in the Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Account; said amounts on deposit in the Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Account hereinafter called the “Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Fund”). If Borrower does not pay the Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Amount to Administrative Agent on the Closing Date, then Borrower shall not be permitted to receive disbursements from the Borrower Remainder Account pursuant to Section 4 of the Cash Management Agreement, and instead all amounts allocated to the Borrower Remainder Account shall be re-allocated by Cash Management Bank into the Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Account (including without limitation any such amounts constituting Net Cash Flow) until such time as the full amount of the Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Amount is then held in the Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Account. Borrower shall cause the Deferred Maintenance and Remediation to be completed, performed, remediated and corrected to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent and as necessary to bring each Property into compliance with all Applicable Laws on or before the expiration of six (6) months after the Closing Date, as such time period may be extended by
87
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. So long as no Event of Default has occurred, all sums in the Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Account shall be held by Administrative Agent in the Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Account to pay the costs and expenses of completing the Deferred Maintenance and Remediation. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred, Administrative Agent shall, to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Account, disburse to Borrower the amount paid or incurred by Borrower in completing, performing, remediating or correcting the Deferred Maintenance and Remediation upon (a) the receipt by Administrative Agent of a written request from Borrower for disbursement from the Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Account and a certification by Borrower in a form as may be required by Administrative Agent that the applicable item of Deferred Maintenance and Remediation has been completed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (b) delivery to Administrative Agent of invoices, receipts or other evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent verifying the costs of the Deferred Maintenance and Remediation to be reimbursed, (c) delivery to Administrative Agent of a certification from an inspecting architect, engineer or other consultant reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent describing the completed work, verifying the completion of the work and the value of the completed work and, if applicable, certifying that the applicable Property is, as a result of such work, in compliance with all Applicable Laws relating to the Deferred Maintenance and Remediation so performed, and (d) delivery to Administrative Agent of affidavits, lien waivers or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent showing that all materialmen, laborers, subcontractors and any other parties who might or could claim statutory or common law liens and are furnishing or have furnished materials or labor to the applicable Property have been paid all amounts due for such labor and materials furnished to such Property. Administrative Agent shall not be required to make advances from the Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Account more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period. In making any payment from the Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Account, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on such request from Borrower without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity or contestability of any such amount. Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent a power-of-attomey, coupled with an interest, to cause the Deferred Maintenance and Remediation to be completed, performed, remediated and corrected to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent upon Borrower’s failure to do so in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 7.3, and to apply the amounts on deposit in the Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Account to the costs associated therewith, all as Administrative Agent may determine in its sole and absolute discretion but without obligation to do so. Any amount remaining in the Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Account after the Secured Obligations have been repaid in full shall be returned to Borrower. If Administrative Agent, in consultation with Borrower, reasonably determines the Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Account is not or will not be sufficient to pay for the applicable costs of such Deferred Maintenance and Remediation, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall make a deposit with Administrative Agent by the amount that Administrative Agent estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency within ten (10) Business Days of such demand.
Section 7.4 Rent Reserve Fund.
From and after any time that Borrower fails to cause the Rent Coverage Ratio to be satisfied in accordance with Section 5.2.13(a), the parties hereto agree that the amounts otherwise distributable to Borrower pursuant to Section 4 of the Cash Management Agreement (including without limitation Net Cash Flow) shall instead be retained in the Rent Reserve Account (said amounts hereinafter called the “Rent Reserve Fund”); provided, such amounts shall initially be utilized, as appropriate, to deposit an amount equal to the Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Amount into the Deferred Maintenance/Remediation Account prior to the retaining of such amounts for the Rent Reserve Fund. Thereinafter, Administrative Agent shall administer the Rent Reserve Account pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.2.13(b).

Section 7.5 Ground Lease Reserve Fund.
On the date immediately preceding each Payment Date (and if such day is not a Business Day then the preceding day which is a Business Day), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to all amounts due under the Ground Leases (the “Ground Lease Monthly Deposit”) that will be payable during the then current calendar month (said amounts received by the Administrative Agent and deposited into the Ground Lease Reserve Account hereinafter called the “Ground Lease Reserve Fund”) Administrative Agent will apply the Ground Lease Reserve Fund to the payments of rent required to be made by Borrower pursuant to the Ground Leases. In making any payment relating to the Ground Lease Reserve Fund, Administrative Agent may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the landlord under the applicable Ground Lease without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate. Any amount remaining in the Ground Lease Reserve Fund after the payment of all rent due under the Ground Leases in one month shall be credited against the Ground Lease Monthly Deposit due the following the month. Any amount remaining in the Ground Lease Reserve Fund after the Secured Obligations have been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. If as of any Payment Date, Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the Ground Lease Reserve Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay the next succeeding payments due under the Ground Leases, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall deposit into the Ground Lease Reserve Account, an amount that Administrative Agent estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency within five (5) Business Days of such demand.

Section 8.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(f) or (g) above) 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, Administrative Agent shall, at the request of Required Lenders, take such action, without notice or demand, that Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Collateral, including without limitation all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in Section 8.1 (f) or (g) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby
93
expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Financing Parties 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 Administrative Agent, at the request of Required Lenders, and may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, 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 Administrative Agent shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Properties or any other Collateral. Any such actions taken by Administrative Agent shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent 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 (i) Administrative Agent is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Administrative Agent shall remain in full force and effect until Administrative Agent has exhausted all of its remedies against the Properties and the other Collateral and the Security Instruments have been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(c) With respect to Borrower and the Properties and the other Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Administrative Agent to resort to the Properties or other Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other Collateral, and Administrative Agent may seek satisfaction out of the Properties or all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instruments in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instruments then due and payable as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion including without limitation the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Administrative Agent may foreclose the Security Instruments to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Administrative Agent elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Debt, Administrative Agent may foreclose the Security Instruments to recover so much of the principal balance of the Debt as Administrative Agent may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Security Instruments as Administrative Agent may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Loan Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Loan Documents and not previously recovered.
(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Debt and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Debt, shall accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any notice, grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the
94
Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Loan Documents. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Administrative Agent by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default; the acceptance of any payment of by Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default; and Administrative Agent retains its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening of any Event of Default, despite any payments made to Administrative Agent after the occurrence of such Event of Default.
(e) Any amounts recovered from the Collateral after an Event of Default shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.3A.3.
Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.
The rights, powers and remedies of Administrative Agent under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Administrative Agent may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Administrative Agent may determine in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default or otherwise 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, Administrative Agent may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower 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 Administrative Agent may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Administrative Agent 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 Collateral and 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 Administrative Agent upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Administrative Agent that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Administrative Agent. All such costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Administrative Agent therefor.
Section 8.5 Power of Attorney.
For the purpose of carrying out the provisions and exercising the rights, powers and privileges granted in this Section 8, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent, after the
95
occurrence of an Event of Default, 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.

(i) Minimum Amounts.
(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire portion of the assigning Lender’s Loan at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the principal outstanding balance of the portion of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of

the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(ii) [Reserved].
(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition, the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.
(c) Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Charlotte, North Carolina a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and principal amounts of the portion of the Loan owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to
117
time upon reasonable prior notice; provided that a Lender shall only be entitled to inspect its own entry in the Register and not that of any other Lender.
(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Credit Party or any Credit Party’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loan Commitment and/or the portion of the Loan owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of the type referred to in the first proviso to Section 10.38 that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits (and subject to the burdens) of Section 2.2 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.

A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.2 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.2.8 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.2.8 as though it were a Lender.
(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Section 10.41 Right of Set off; Sharing of Payments.
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any other Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of Borrower or such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such
118
obligations of Borrower or such Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify Borrower and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
(b) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its portion of the Loan or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its portion of the Loan and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then such Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the portion of the Loan and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective portion of the Loan and other amounts owing them, provided that:
(A) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(B) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its portion of the Loan to any assignee or participant, other than to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).
(c) Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Credit Party in the amount of such participation.

The Debt shall without notice become immediately due and payable on the happening of any Event of Default in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 8.2 of the Loan Agreement and in addition, Lender shall be entitled to receive interest on the entire unpaid principal sum at the Default Rate pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement. This Article 2, however, shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default.
ARTICLE 3 - LOAN DOCUMENTS
This Note is secured by the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents. All of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Loan Agreement, the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents are hereby made part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force as if they were fully set forth herein. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the Loan Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement shall govern.
ARTICLE 4 - SAVINGS CLAUSE
This Note and the Loan Agreement are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender, Administrative Agent or any other lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the
Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
ARTICLE 5 - NO ORAL CHANGE
This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing in accordance with Section 10.39 of the Loan Agreement.
ARTICLE 6 - WAIVERS

No notice to or demand on Borrower shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation of Borrower or of the right of Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to take further action without further notice or demand as provided for in this Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If Borrower is a partnership, the agreements herein contained shall remain in force and be applicable, notwithstanding any changes in the individuals or entities comprising the partnership, and the term “Borrower” as used herein, shall include any alternate or successor partnership, but any predecessor partnership and their partners shall not thereby be released from any liability.
