16
Loan Agreement
Loan Number 201916813
#63074348_v17
Lender’s disbursement to Borrower of the Operating Expense Reserve Funds for such prior three (3) month period (i.e., the amount disbursed by Lender to Borrower for such prior three (3) month period was more than what was actually required), such excess shall be deducted from the amount to be disbursed from the Operating Expense Reserve Funds for the calendar month following such three (3) month period (and furthermore, in the event that the Reconciliation Statement also shows that Interest actually accrued on the Loan for the prior three (3) month period was more than the amount of the Lender’s disbursement of the Interest Reserve Funds for such prior three (3) month period (i.e., the amount disbursed by Lender for such prior to three (3) month period was less than what was actually required), either (1) such deficiency shall be deducted by Lender from the then available Interest Reserve Funds; or (2) if Interest Reserve Funds are not then available, Borrower shall pay the same on the next Payment Date).

21
Loan Agreement
Loan Number 201916813
#63074348_v17
a manifest error exists) the amount requested in the Disbursement Certification, provided that: (1) the amount requested in the Disbursement Certification is also otherwise in accordance with terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Agreement; and (2) Lender has not advised Borrower in writing that a previously submitted Disbursement Certification was in error or incomplete; it being the intention of Borrower and Lender that in such case, Borrower shall first furnish Lender with such additional information as is reasonably necessary in order to correct such error or supply such missing information or materials before any further disbursements are made by Lender in connection with the submission by Borrower of any pending, new or additional Disbursement Certifications; (ii) Lender may, at Lender's option, waive non-compliance by Borrower with one or more of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions in this Article 3 applicable thereto, or non-compliance of other non-monetary terms, provisions, covenants and conditions in this Agreement, in each case for a period of up to ninety (90) days; and (iii) the existence of a non-monetary Event of Default (including, but not limited to, the failure of Borrower or Guarantor to comply with any of the reporting requirements set forth in Section 5.5 hereof), beyond any applicable notice and cure periods and for which Lender has not previously furnished Borrower with written notice, shall not prohibit the funding of such Draw Request (it being the intention of the Parties that a Draw Request shall be funded in such case as long as all of the other applicable disbursement conditions with respect thereto have been satisfied).
(c) If, at any time, Borrower shall request that the Reserve Funds for any category of cost or expense shown in the Approved Capital Expenditures Budget be reallocated to another category of cost or expense, Lender shall consider such request on a case-by-case basis for such reallocation in its sole, but reasonable discretion, provided, however, that under no circumstances shall Lender be obligated to consider such a request unless Borrower has first demonstrated to Lender’s satisfaction, in Lender’s sole, but reasonable discretion, that the Loan continues to remain In Balance (as defined below) following any such reallocation; and provided, further, that neither the Interest Reserve Funds nor the Operating Expense Reserve Funds categories are reduced (unless Lender agrees to such reduction, acting reasonably under the circumstances at such time). For purposes hereof, the term “In Balance” means that the total of the available funds (as determined by Lender, in its sole, but reasonable discretion) for the Capital Expenditures and/or the Approved Leasing Expenses equals or exceeds the costs therefor, as set forth on the Approved Capital Expenditures Budget and/or the Approved Annual Budget, as the case may be, including any contingency reserves shown thereon.
(d) In connection with the funding of a particular Draw Request by Borrower from time-to-time of any of the Reserve Funds, Lender may, at Lender's option, make such disbursement directly to either the particular vendor/contractor or to Borrower (with proof of payment to thereafter be submitted to Lender prior to the funding of the next subsequent Draw Request to Borrower).

No statement of fact made by or on behalf of Borrower in the Loan Documents or in any other document or certificate delivered to Lender by Borrower contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no event or circumstance, either individually or in the aggregate, that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Lender, there has been no material adverse change in the financial position of Borrower or the Property, or in the results of operations of Borrower.

(v) contain an endorsement indicating that neither Lender nor Borrower shall be or be deemed to be a co-insurer with respect to any risk insured by such policies and shall provide for an aggregate deductible per loss for all policies not in excess of $25,000.00 for Property policies and no deductible or retention for General Liability policies (unless otherwise permitted under this Article VII), unless otherwise approved by Lender in advance and in writing;

insurance policies required to be maintained hereunder which certificates shall bear notations evidencing payment of applicable premiums and copies of such insurance policies shall be delivered to Lender promptly after Borrower’s receipt thereof. If Borrower fails to maintain and deliver to Lender the certificates of insurance required by this Agreement, Lender may, at its option, after notice to Borrower, procure such insurance, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the amount of all premiums paid by Lender thereon promptly, after demand by Lender, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid by Lender to the date of repayment, and such sum shall be a part of the Indebtedness secured by the Loan Documents. Lender shall not by the fact of approving, disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining or failing to obtain any insurance, incur any liability for or with respect to the amount of insurance carried, the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of insurance companies, or the carriers’ or Borrower’s payment or defense of lawsuits, and Borrower hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all liability, if any, with respect thereto. Borrower represents that no material claims have been made under any of such insurance policies, and no party, including Borrower, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of any of such insurance policies.
Section 7.5. Restoration Proceeds.
(a) Any and all awards, compensation, reimbursement, damages, proceeds, settlements, and other payments or relief paid or to be paid, together with all rights and causes of action relating to or arising from, (i) any insurance policy maintained by or on behalf of Borrower following any damage, destruction, casualty or loss to all or any portion of the Property (a “Casualty”, and such proceeds, “Insurance Proceeds”) or (ii) any temporary or permanent taking or voluntary conveyance of all or part of the Property, or any interest therein or right accruing thereto or use thereof, as the result of, or in settlement of, any condemnation or other eminent domain proceeding by any Governmental Authority whether or not the same shall have actually been commenced (a “Taking”, and such proceeds, “Condemnation Proceeds”, and together with Insurance Proceeds, collectively, “Restoration Proceeds”) are hereby assigned to Lender as additional collateral security hereunder subject to the Lien of the Security Instrument, to be applied in accordance with this Article 7. Lender shall be entitled to receive and collect all Restoration Proceeds, and Borrower shall instruct and cause the issuer of each policy of insurance described herein and any applicable Governmental Authority to deliver to Lender all Restoration Proceeds. Borrower shall execute such further assignments of the Restoration Proceeds as Lender may from time to time reasonably require. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Restoration Proceeds, less the amount of Lender’s actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred in collecting the same (the “Net Restoration Proceeds”), are One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) or less (the “Restoration Proceeds Threshold”), provided no Event of Default then exists, Lender shall make such Net Restoration Proceeds available to Borrower. All Insurance Proceeds received by Borrower or Lender in respect of business interruption coverage, and all Condemnation Proceeds received with respect to a temporary Taking available to Borrower, shall be deposited in a segregated escrow account with Lender or its servicer, as applicable, and Lender shall estimate the number of months required for Borrower to restore the damage caused such Casualty or replace cash flow interrupted by such temporary Taking, as applicable, and shall divide the aggregate proceeds by such number of months, and, provided no Event of Default then exists, shall disburse a monthly installment thereof to Borrower each such month. Subject to Lender’s
44
Loan Agreement
Loan Number 201916813
#63074348_v17
rights under Section 7.6, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Restoration has been completed in accordance with this Agreement, any Net Restoration Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration, to the extent not used by Borrower in connection with, or to the extent they exceed the cost of such Restoration and any costs incurred by Lender, shall be paid to Borrower.
(b) Lender shall be entitled at its option to participate in any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with (i) any insurance policy claims relating to any Casualty, and (ii) any Taking in an amount in controversy, in either case, in excess of the Restoration Proceeds Threshold, and Borrower shall within ten (10) Business Days after request therefor reimburse Lender for all reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with such participation. Borrower shall not make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with any such claim in excess of the Restoration Proceeds Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists without the prior written approval of Lender. Borrower shall not make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with any claim unless same is commercially reasonable.
(c) If and to the extent Restoration Proceeds are not required to be made available to Borrower to be used for the Restoration of the Improvements, Equipment and Inventory affected by the Casualty or Taking, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, Lender shall be entitled, without Borrower’s consent, to apply such Restoration Proceeds or the balance thereof, at Lender’s option either (i) to the full or partial payment or prepayment of the Indebtedness in accordance with the Note; or (ii) to the Restoration of all or any part of such Improvements, Equipment and Inventory affected by the Casualty or Taking, as applicable.
Section 7.6. Restoration. Borrower shall apply all Insurance Proceeds first, to complete restoration or repair of the Improvements and Equipment before applying, disbursing or distributing any such Insurance Proceeds for any other purpose. Borrower shall restore and repair the Improvements and Equipment or any part thereof now or hereafter damaged or destroyed by any Casualty or affected by any Taking; provided, however, that if the Casualty is not insured against or insurable, Borrower shall so restore and repair even though no Insurance Proceeds are received, or even if the available Insurance Proceeds are less than the cost of restoration and repair. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 7.5, Lender agrees that Lender shall make the Net Restoration Proceeds (other than business interruption insurance proceeds, which shall be held and disbursed as provided in Section 7.5) available to Borrower for Borrower’s restoration and repair of the Improvements, Equipment and Inventory affected by the Casualty or Taking (a “Restoration”), as applicable, on the following terms and subject to Borrower’s satisfaction of the following conditions; provided, that Lender shall have the right to waive any of the following conditions in its discretion:
(a) At the time of such Casualty or Taking, as applicable, and at all times thereafter there shall exist no Event of Default which remains uncured;
(b) The Improvements, Equipment and Inventory affected by the Casualty or Taking, as applicable, shall be capable of being restored (including replacements) to substantially the same condition, utility, quality and character, as existed immediately prior to such Casualty or
45

Taking, as applicable, in all material respects with a fair market value and projected cash flow of the Property equal to or greater than prior to such Casualty or Taking, as applicable;
(c) Borrower shall demonstrate to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction Borrower’s ability to pay the Indebtedness coming due during such repair or restoration period (after taking into account proceeds from business interruption insurance carried by Borrower);
(d) (i) in the event of a Casualty, the Casualty resulted in an actual or constructive loss of less than fifty percent (50%) of the fair market value of the Property, or (ii) in the event of a Taking, the Taking resulted in an actual or constructive loss of less than fifteen percent (15%) of the fair market value of the Property, less than fifteen percent (15%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements on the Property is the subject of such Taking;
(e) Borrower shall have provided to Lender all of the following, and collaterally assigned the same to Lender pursuant to assignment documents acceptable to Lender: (i) an architect’s contract with an architect reasonably acceptable to Lender and complete plans and specifications for the Restoration of the Improvements, Equipment and Inventory lost or damaged to the condition, utility and value required by Section 7.6(b); (ii) fixed-price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contracts with contractors reasonably acceptable to Lender for completion of the Restoration work in accordance with the aforementioned plans and specifications; (iii) such additional funds (if any) as are necessary from time to time, in Lender’s reasonable opinion, to complete the Restoration (which funds shall be held by Lender as additional collateral securing the Indebtedness and shall be disbursed, if at all, pursuant to this Article 7); and (iv) copies of all Permits and licenses necessary to complete the Restoration in accordance with the plans and specifications and all Legal Requirements;
(f) Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to commence such work within one hundred twenty (120) days after such Casualty or Taking, as applicable, and shall diligently pursue such work to completion;
(g) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (A) the date six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (B) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or such Taking, as applicable, or (C) the expiration of the business interruption insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1(d); and
(h) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements.
Section 7.7. Disbursement.
(a) Each disbursement by Lender of such Restoration Proceeds shall be funded subject to conditions and in accordance with disbursement procedures which a commercial construction lender would typically establish in the exercise of sound banking practices, including
46
Loan Agreement
Loan Number 201916813

requiring lien waivers and any other documents, instruments or items which may be reasonably required by Lender.
(b) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of Restoration 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 determined by Lender, less, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in a Restoration, an amount equal to the greater of (i) ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of such Restoration, as reasonably determined by Lender, and (ii) the amount actually withheld by Borrower (the “Casualty Retainage”). The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until Lender reasonably determines that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage.
Section 7.8. Qualified Amount. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of a taking of any portion of a Property by a state or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, or Casualty or Taking, if the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining Properties (as determined by the Lender in its sole discretion using any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust; and which shall exclude the value of any personal property or going concern value, if any) exceeds or would exceed 125% immediately after giving effect to the condemnation/casualty, then an amount that is a “qualified amount” as that term is defined in IRS Revenue Procedure 2010-30, as the same may be amended, replaced, supplemented or modified from time to time, must be applied to the principal amount of the Loan (rather than to any other portion of the Loan), unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that, if this clause is applicable but not followed or is no longer applicable at the time of such taking, condemnation, eminent domain or similar proceeding, Casualty or Taking, the Loan (i) will not be subject to a “significant modification” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (ii) will not fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code.

after all of the following conditions have been satisfied: (a) there has been no change in any Environmental Law or other Legal Requirement prior to the date on which the Indebtedness is paid in full the effect of which would be to make a lender/mortgagee liable with respect to any condition or matter for which the Indemnified Parties are entitled to be indemnified notwithstanding the fact that the Indebtedness was repaid in full; (b) Lender shall have received, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, an environmental inspection report for the Property in scope satisfactory to Lender, and prepared by an independent consulting firm/environmental engineer acceptable to Lender, dated no more than thirty (30) days prior to the date the same is delivered to Lender, showing that there exists no condition or matter with respect to the Property for which the Indemnified Parties are entitled to be indemnified; and (c) three (3) years have elapsed since the date on which the Indebtedness was repaid in full.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 10.1. Transfer of Loan. Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign, in whole or in part, this Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities (the “Securities”) evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (such sales, participation, offering and/or placement, collectively, a “Securitization”). Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant or investor in such participations or Securities (collectively, the “Investor”) or any Rating Agency rating such Securities, each prospective Investor, and any organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan or to Borrower, any Guarantor or the Property, whether furnished by Borrower, any Guarantor or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable, including, without limitation, financial statements relating to Borrower, Guarantor, the Property and any tenant at the Property. Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have under law or in equity to prohibit such disclosure, including but not limited to any right of privacy.
Section 10.2. Cooperation. Borrower and Guarantor agree to cooperate with Lender (and agree to cause their respective officers and representatives to cooperate) in connection with any transfer made or any Securities created pursuant to this Article 10, including, without limitation, the taking, or refraining from taking, of such action as may be reasonably necessary to satisfy all of the conditions of any Investor, the delivery any reasonable documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender (provided, however, that Guarantor is not obligated to provide any documents other than what has been provided to Lender with respect to Guarantor in connection with the Loan and any ongoing financial reporting requirements set forth in Section 5.3 hereof), and the execution of reasonable amendments to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents and Borrower’s organizational documents as reasonably requested by Lender; provided that the
52

#63074348_v17
reasonable costs incurred for such cooperation shall be paid by Lender and no changes to the Loan Documents shall be required which will have a material adverse economic impact on Borrower or Guarantor. Borrower shall also furnish and Borrower and Guarantor consent to Lender furnishing to such Investors or prospective Investors or any Rating Agency any and all information concerning the Property, the Leases, the financial condition of Borrower and Guarantor (but only to the extent of the information regarding Guarantor as required hereunder) as may be requested by Lender, any Investor, any prospective Investor or any Rating Agency in connection with any sale, transfer or participations or Securities and shall indemnify the Indemnified Parties against, and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from, any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which any such Indemnified Parties may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in a Disclosure Document or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the Disclosure Document or necessary in order to make the statements in the Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and agreeing to reimburse the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by each of them in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under this Section 10.2 only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have and shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents.
Section 10.3. Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer and/or trustee (any such master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer, and trustee, together with its agents, nominees or designees, are collectively referred to as “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Servicer pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, servicing agreement, special servicing agreement or other agreement providing for the servicing of one or more mortgage loans (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall be responsible for any reasonable set up fees or any other reasonable initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement, but Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the regular monthly master servicing fee or trustee fee due to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement or any fees or expenses required to be borne by, and not reimbursable to, Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall promptly reimburse Lender on demand for (a) interest payable on advances made by Servicer with respect to delinquent debt service payments (to the extent interest at the Default Rate actually paid by Borrower in respect of such payments are insufficient to pay the same) or expenses paid by Servicer or trustee in respect of the protection and preservation of the Property, (b) all costs and expenses, liquidation fees, workout fees, special servicing fees, operating advisor fees or any other similar fees payable by Lender to Servicer which may be due and payable under the Servicing Agreement (whether on a periodic or a continuing basis) as a result of an Event of Default under the Loan, the Loan becoming specially serviced, the commencement or continuance of any enforcement action of any kind with respect to
53

Loan Number 201916813
#63074348_v17
the Loan or any of the Loan Documents, a refinancing or a restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” of the Loan Documents, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation action involving Borrower, Guarantor or any of their respective principals or Affiliates excluding Lender Actions unless arising because of an Event of Default, (c) all costs and expenses of any Property inspections and/or appraisals (or any updates to any existing inspection or appraisal) that Servicer or the trustee may be required to obtain (other than the cost of regular annual inspections required to be borne by Servicer under the Servicing Agreement) as a result of an Event of Default unless arising because of an Event of Default, and (d) all reasonable costs and expenses relating to or arising from any special requests made by Borrower or Guarantor during the term of the Loan including, without limitation, in connection with a prepayment, assumption or modification of the Loan.
Section 10.4. Restructuring of Loan.
(a) Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right at any time to require Borrower to restructure the Loan into additional multiple notes (which may include component notes and/or senior and junior notes), to re-allocate principal among component notes and/or senior and junior notes and/or to create participation interests in the Loan, or the establishment of different interest rates and debt service payments for the Loan, in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided that (i) the total principal amounts of the Loan (including any component notes), shall equal the total principal amount of the Loan immediately prior to the restructuring, (ii) except in the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default or a default beyond all notice and cure periods, or of a Casualty or Condemnation that results in the payment of principal under the Loan, the weighted average interest rate of the restructured Loan shall, in the aggregate, equal the Interest Rate, and (iii) except in the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default and/or a default beyond all notice and cure periods, or of a Casualty or Taking that results in the payment of principal under the Loan, the aggregate debt service payments on the restructured Loan shall equal the aggregate debt service payments which would have been payable under the Loan had the restructuring not occurred.
(b) Borrower shall cooperate, at no cost to Borrower, with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to restructure the Note and the Loan and shall, upon seven (7) Business Days written notice from Lender, which notice shall include the forms of documents for which Lender is requesting execution and delivery, execute and deliver such documents in form reasonably acceptable to Borrower and Guarantor, as shall be reasonably required by Lender and required by any Rating Agency in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and Borrower and Guarantor, including, without limitation, the severance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents if requested; provided, however, that any such amendments required by Lender shall not result in any economic or other material adverse change in the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
(c) Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 10.1, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with any such restructuring as set forth in this Section 10.4. All reasonable costs incurred by Borrower shall be paid by Lender.

(d) In the event Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents described in this Section 10.4 to Lender within fifteen (15) Business Days following such written notice by Lender, and Lender sends a second notice to Borrower with respect to the delivery of such documents containing a legend clearly marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold face type, underlined, in all capital letters “POWER OF ATTORNEY IN FAVOR OF LENDER DEEMED EFFECTIVE FOR EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS”, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof, if Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such second notice.
Section 10.5. Lender Register. Borrower hereby designates Lender or its designee (the “Registrar”) to serve as Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 10.5, to maintain, at one of Registrar’s offices, a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lender, and the principal amount and stated interest thereon of the Loan (or portions thereof) owing to Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Borrower shall at all times treat the Person or Persons in whose name the Loan and the Note is registered (the “Registered Lender”) as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes. As of the date hereof, READYCAP COMMERCIAL, LLC is the Registered Lender. The Registrar shall, upon delivery of a notice executed by the then Registered Lender that the Loan and Note (or portion thereof) has been transferred to a transferee, promptly provide Borrower with a copy of such notice and record such transferee in the Register as a Registered Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Loan. Such Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon Borrower’s reasonable prior notice. Nothing set forth in this Section 10.5 shall decrease Borrower’s rights or increase Borrower’s liabilities under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Documents. The Registrar shall not be entitled to any fee from Borrower or Lender or any other lender in respect of transfers of the Note and other Loan Documents. The rights evidenced by the Note to receive principal and interest may only be transferred if the transfer is registered on the Register pursuant to this Section 10.5.
Section 10.6. Participant Register. If Lender sells a participation, Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that Lender shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under any Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under any Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under any Loan Document, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

Neither Borrower nor any Affiliate of Borrower shall contest the enforceability of this Section 11.22.
Section 11.23. Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EVIDENCING, SECURING OR PERTAINING TO ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE LOAN REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN BORROWER AND LENDER AS TO THE SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF SUCH PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN SUCH PARTIES.
