Together with each monthly interest payment hereunder, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, a fee in an amount equal to (i) the average daily undisbursed amount of the Second Non-Revolver Tranche (if any) during the immediately prior month, multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (A) one quarter of one percent (0.25%) divided by (B) twelve (12) (the “Unused Fee”). Such fee shall be deemed earned when paid and will be non-refundable. Under no circumstances shall any Unused Fee be payable in connection with, or apply to, the First Non-Revolver Tranche. |
2.3 | LOAN DOCUMENTS. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent (or cause to be executed and delivered) concurrently with this Agreement each of the documents, properly executed and in recordable form, as applicable, described in Exhibit B as Loan Documents, together with those documents described in Exhibit B as Other Related Documents. |
2.4 | EFFECTIVE DATE. The date of the Loan Documents is for reference purposes only. The effective date of delivery and transfer to Administrative Agent of the security under the Loan Documents and of Borrower’s and Lenders’ obligations under the Loan Documents shall be the Effective Date. |
2.5 | MATURITY DATE. The outstanding balance of the Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts accrued and unpaid under the Loan Documents, shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date. |
16
2.6 | EXTENSION OPTION. Borrower shall have the right to extend the Maturity Date from the Initial Maturity Date to the Extended Maturity Date (the “Extension Option”), subject to Borrower’s satisfaction of the following conditions: |
(a) | Borrower shall give Administrative Agent written notice of Borrower’s request for an extension of the Maturity Date not earlier than ninety (90) days, nor later than forty-five (45) days, prior to the Initial Maturity; |
(b) | As of the date of such notice, and as of the Initial Maturity Date, there shall exist no Default or Potential Default (provided that Borrower shall have an opportunity to cure such Potential Default prior to the Initial Maturity Date to the extent of applicable cure periods under this Agreement or the applicable Loan Document); |
(c) | At Administrative Agent’s request, Borrower shall have caused to be issued to Lenders, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, appropriate endorsements to the Title Policy which confirm the existence and priority of the Liens securing the Obligations in connection with the requested extension; |
(d) | There shall have been no change in the financial condition of Borrower, or in the condition of the Property from that which existed on the Effective Date, which change, as determined by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, has a Material Adverse Effect; |
(e) | The Loan-to-Value Percentage of the Property, based upon a new Appraisal commissioned by Administrative Agent at Borrower’s sole cost and expense and with a valuation date within sixty (60) days of the Initial Maturity Date, shall not exceed the Maximum Loan-to-Value Percentage; |
(f) | The Net Operating Income from the Property shall be sufficient to yield a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.375:1.00 as of the Initial Maturity Date; and |
(g) | Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, an extension fee in an amount equal to fifteen hundredths of one percent (0.15%) of Aggregate Commitment as of the Initial Maturity Date. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right (i) to repay principal outstanding under the Loan or (ii) to affirmatively elect to cancel any undisbursed portion of the Aggregate Commitment (excluding any portion of the First Non-Revolver Tranche, which Borrower does not have the right to cancel), or (iii) any combination thereof, in such amount as may be required to reduce the Aggregate Commitment, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.6, to an amount such that Borrower is in compliance with subsections (e) and (f) above. Any repayment of principal or cancellation of commitment pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall reduce the Aggregate Commitment dollar for dollar and any sums repaid may not be reborrowed. Except as modified by this Section 2.6, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.
2.7 | INTEREST ON THE LOAN. |
(a) | Interest Payments. Interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be due on the first day, and payable, in the manner provided in Section 2.8, on the first Business Day, of each month commencing with the first month after the Effective Date. |
(b) | Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in Sections 2.7(e) below and the payment dates specified in Section 2.7(a), at Requisite Lenders’ discretion at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, the principal balance of the Loan then outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loan not paid when due, shall bear interest payable upon demand at the Default Rate. All other amounts due Administrative Agent or Lenders (whether directly or for |
17
reimbursement) under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents if not paid when due, or if no time period is expressed, if not paid within ten (10) days after demand, shall likewise, at the option of Requisite Lenders, bear interest from and after demand at the Default Rate. |
(c) | Late Fee. Borrower acknowledges that late payment to Administrative Agent will cause Administrative Agent and Lenders to incur costs not contemplated by this Agreement. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges. Therefore, if Borrower fails to pay interest due hereunder within fifteen (15) days after such payment is due, then Borrower shall at, Administrative Agent’s option, pay a late or collection charge equal to four percent (4%) of the amount of such unpaid interest payment to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Lenders). Borrower and Administrative Agent agree that this late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date hereof and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Administrative Agent and Lenders will incur by reason of late payment. Borrower and Administrative Agent further agree that proof of actual damages would be costly and inconvenient. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue installment, and shall not prevent Administrative Agent from exercising any of the other rights available hereunder or any other Loan Document. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to any other rights of Administrative Agent. |
(d) | Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest or fees accrue and a year of three hundred sixty (360) days on the principal balance of the Loan outstanding from time to time. In computing interest on the Loan, the date of the making of a disbursement under the Loan shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.7, interest in respect of the Loan shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. |
(e) | Effective Rate. Provided no Default exists under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, the “Effective Rate” upon which interest shall be calculated for the Loan shall, from and after the Effective Date of this Agreement, be one or more of the following: |
(i) | Initial Disbursement; Subsequent Disbursements During Any Calendar Month. For the initial disbursement of principal under this Agreement, and for any subsequent disbursements of principal during any calendar month, the Effective Rate on such principal amount shall be the Calculated Interest Rate on the date of disbursement as determined by Administrative Agent. Such Effective Rate shall apply to such principal amount from the date of disbursement through and including the date immediately preceding the first (1st) Business Day of the next calendar month. On the first (1st) Business Day of the next calendar month, any principal disbursed during the prior calendar month shall be added to (or become) the LIBO Rate Portion for purposes of calculation of the Effective Rate under subsection (ii) below. |
(ii) | Reset of Effective Rate. Commencing with the first (1st) Business Day of the first (1st) calendar month after the initial disbursement of principal under this Agreement, and continuing thereafter on the first (1st) Business Day of each succeeding calendar month, the Effective Rate on the outstanding LIBO Rate Portion under the Loan (i.e., all outstanding principal on such first (1st) Business Day) shall be reset to the Calculated Interest Rate, as determined by Administrative Agent on each such first (1st) Business Day. |
(iii) | Calculated Interest Rate, Reset Daily. Notwithstanding subclause (ii) above, Borrower, by written notice to Administrative Agent not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the first (1st) Business Day of any LIBO Rate Period, may elect that the Effective Rate for a one-month period (i.e. until the day immediately preceding the |
18
first (1st) Business Day of the next calendar month), for all or any part of the outstanding principal balance of the LIBO Rate Portion, shall be the Calculated Interest Rate as determined by Administrative Agent, reset daily. Each such election shall apply only to a single one-month period. If Borrower makes this election for three (3) or more consecutive one-month periods, or if Borrower makes this election for more than a total of six (6) one-month periods during the term of the Note, THEN, the Effective Rate for each additional one-month period shall be one quarter of one percent (0.25%) plus the Calculated Interest Rate as determined by Administrative Agent, reset daily. Subject to the above limitations on use of this election, any outstanding principal for which an election for one-month was made, commencing on the first (1st) Business Day of the calendar month succeeding the month for which the election was made, shall have an Effective Rate of the Calculated Interest Rate determined by Lender on such first (1st) Business Day. Such Effective Rate shall apply to such principal through and including the day immediately preceding the first (1st) Business Day of the next LIBO Rate Period. On such first (1st) Business Day of the next LIBO Rate Period such principal shall be added to the LIBO Rate Portion subject to reset pursuant to this Section.. |
(iv) | Requests. Any written request by Borrower to Administrative Agent shall be delivered to Lender at the Minnesota Loan Center, 000 0xx Xxxxxx X., Xxxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attn: Xxxxx Xxxxxx, with a copy to Xxxxx Fargo Bank, Real Estate Group, Orange County, 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Xxxx Xxxxxxx, or at such other place as may be designated in writing by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent is authorized to rely upon the telephonic request and acceptance of Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxx, Xxxx Xxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxx, as Borrower’s duly authorized agents, or such additional authorized agents as Borrower shall designate in writing to Administrative Agent. Borrower’s telephonic notices, requests and acceptances shall be directed to such officers of Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent may from time to time designate. |
(v) | Post-Maturity; Default Rate. From and after the Maturity Date (as may be extended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), or such earlier date on which a Default exists under the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, THEN at the option of Requisite Lenders, all sums owing on the Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. |
(f) | Taxes, Regulatory Costs and Reserve Percentages. Within thirty (30) calendar days after Administrative Agent’s demand, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, in addition to all other amounts which may be, or become, due and payable under the Loan Documents, any and all Taxes and Regulatory Costs, to the extent they are not internalized by calculation of an Effective Rate. Further, at Administrative Agent’s option, the Effective Rate shall be automatically adjusted by adjusting the Reserve Percentage, as determined by Administrative Agent in its prudent banking judgment, from the date of imposition (or subsequent date selected by Administrative Agent) of any such Regulatory Costs. Administrative Agent shall give Borrower written notice of any Taxes and Regulatory Costs (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of such determination) as |
soon as practicable after their occurrence, but in any event within ninety (90) days after Administrative Agent obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that if Administrative Agent fails to give such notice within ninety (90) days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall be entitled to payment only for Taxes and Regulatory Costs incurred from and after the date ninety (90) days prior to the date that Administrative Agent does give such notice.
(g) | LIBO Rate Price Adjustment. Borrower acknowledges that prepayment or acceleration of a LIBO Rate Portion during a LIBO Rate Period shall result in Lenders incurring |
19
additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Therefore, on the date a LIBO Rate Portion is prepaid or the date all sums payable hereunder become due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise (“Price Adjustment Date”), Borrower will pay Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender (in addition to all other sums then owing to Lenders) an amount (“LIBO Rate Price Adjustment”) equal to the then present value of (a) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the LIBO Rate Portion for the remainder of the LIBO Rate Period at the Calculated Interest Rate set on the first (1st) Business Day of the month in which such amount is prepaid or becomes due, less (b) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBO Rate Portion for the same period if the Calculated Interest Rate were set on the Price Adjustment Date at the Calculated Interest Rate in effect on the Price Adjustment Date. The present value shall be calculated by Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, by using as a discount rate the Calculated Interest Rate quoted on the Price Adjustment Date. |
By initialing this provision where indicated below, Borrower confirms that Lenders’ agreement to make the Loan at the interest rates and on the other terms set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents constitutes adequate and valuable consideration, given individual weight by Borrower, for this agreement:
20
Borrower Initials. /s/ initials
(h) | Purchase, Sale and Matching of Funds. Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (a) Lenders have no obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of a Calculated Interest Rate as a basis for calculating an Effective Rate or LIBO Rate Price Adjustment; (b) a Calculated Interest Rate is used merely as a reference in determining an Effective Rate or a LIBO Rate Price Adjustment; and (c) Borrower has accepted a Calculated Interest Rate as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating an Effective Rate or a LIBO Rate Price Adjustment. Borrower further agrees to pay the LIBO Rate Price Adjustment, Taxes and Regulatory Costs, if any, whether or not any Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds. |
2.8 | PAYMENTS. |
(a) | Manner and Time of Payment. All principal, interest and fees payable hereunder shall be paid to Administrative Agent and shall be made without condition or reservation of right and free of set-off or counterclaim, in Dollars and by wire transfer (pursuant to Administrative Agent’s written wire transfer instructions) of immediately available funds for the account of each Lender as applicable, not later than 11:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the date due; and funds received by Administrative Agent after that time and date shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. Borrower shall have no obligation to make any payments of amounts due hereunder directly to Lenders; all such amounts shall be payable to Administrative Agent. |
(b) | Payments on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, payments shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder and of any fees due under this Agreement, as the case may be. |
(c) | Auto-Debit. In order to assure timely payment to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, of accrued interest, principal, fees and late charges due and owing under the Loan, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to directly debit the Debit Account for payment when due of all such amounts payable to Administrative Agent or any Lender. Written confirmation of the amount and purpose of any such direct debit shall be given to Borrower by Administrative Agent not less frequently than monthly. In the event any direct debit hereunder is returned for insufficient funds, Borrower shall pay Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, upon demand, in immediately available funds, all amounts and expenses due and owing, including without limitation any late fees incurred, to Administrative Agent or any Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Administrative Agent hereby agrees that it shall not auto-debit the Debit Account for interest payments due under the Loan until the seventh (7th) day of each calendar month during the term of the Loan (notwithstanding the fact that interest is due and payable under the Loan on the first day of each month). |
21
(d) | Voluntary Prepayment. |
(i) | Subject to compliance with the provisions of Sections 2.7(g) and 2.8(e) below, Borrower may, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the date given, at any time and from time to time, prepay all or any portion of the Loan. |
(ii) | Any notice of prepayment given to Administrative Agent under this Section 2.8(d) shall specify the date of prepayment and the principal amount of the prepayment. In the event of a prepayment of any LIBO Rate Portion, Borrower shall concurrently pay any LIBO Rate Price Adjustment payable in respect thereof. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.12, any principal balance reduction shall reduce the Aggregate Commitment by a like amount, which reduction shall automatically reduce each Lender’s Commitment on a pro rata basis in accordance with Article 12 and any amounts repaid may not be reborrowed. |
(e) | Exit Fee. Concurrently with Borrower’s prepayment of the Loan, in whole or in part, at any time prior to December 16, 2016 (the “Exit Fee Termination Date”), and whether or not the Loan is repaid by Borrower or otherwise satisfied (including in connection with a foreclosure or earlier acceleration of the Loan following a Default), in addition to any LIBO Rate Price Adjustment then due, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders, a non-refundable exit fee (“Exit Fee”) in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Loan prepaid multiplied by the applicable percentage set forth in the table below, with any such Exit Fee deemed fully earned when paid. |
Date of Payment |
Applicable Exit Fee Percentage | |
Prior to December 16, 2014 |
3.00% | |
On or after December 16, 2014 and prior to December 16, 2015 |
2.00% | |
On or after December 16, 2015 and prior to December 16, 2016 |
1.00% | |
On or after December 16, 2016 |
No Exit Fee |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Exit Fee shall be due or payable in connection with a prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.12(a), Section 2.12(b) or Section 8.2 of this Agreement or Section 5.6(b) of the Mortgage.
(f) | Amortization. If Borrower extends the term of the Loan from the Initial Maturity Date to the Extended Maturity Date in accordance with Section 2.6, then unless the last Loan Constant Certificate delivered by Borrower prior to the Initial Maturity Date in accordance with Section 10.1(d) confirms that the Loan Constant as of the last day of such semi-annual period was greater than or equal to twelve percent (12%), Borrower shall, with each payment of interest required hereunder from and after the Initial Maturity Date, repay a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan in an amount equal to the Amortization Payment Amount. |
22
2.9 | FULL REPAYMENT AND RECONVEYANCE. Upon receipt of all sums owing and outstanding under the Loan Documents, and the full payment and performance of all Secured Obligations (as defined in the Security Instrument), Administrative Agent shall issue a full reconveyance of the Property from the lien of the Mortgage; provided, that Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, shall have received all escrow, closing and recording costs, the costs of preparing and delivering such reconveyances and any sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents. Lenders’ obligations to make further disbursements under the Loan shall terminate as to any portion of the Loan undisbursed as of the date of issuance of such full release or reconveyance, and any commitment of Lenders to lend any undisbursed portion of the Loan shall be canceled. Any full or partial repayment shall be without prejudice to Borrower’s obligations under any Secured Swap Obligations, which shall remain in full force and effect subject to the terms of such Swap Agreement (including provisions that may require a reduction, modification or early termination of a swap transaction, in whole or in part, in the event of such repayment, and may require Borrower to pay any fees or other amounts for such reduction, modification or early termination), and no such fees or amounts shall be deemed a penalty hereunder or otherwise. |
2.10 | LENDERS’ ACCOUNTING. Administrative Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books in which shall be recorded (a) the names and addresses and the Pro Rata Shares of the Commitment of each of the Lenders, and principal amount of the Loan owing to each Lender from time to time, and (b) all repayments of principal and payments of accrued interest, as well as payments of fees required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with Administrative Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. Monthly, or at such other interval as is customary with Administrative Agent’s practice, Administrative Agent will render a statement of the Loan Account to Borrower and will deliver a copy thereof to each Lender. Each such statement shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrower in all respects as to all matters reflected therein (absent manifest error). |
2.11 | SWAP OBLIGATIONS. |
(a) | Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, Borrower shall obtain, and maintain in effect, a Swap Agreement reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, which Swap Agreement shall (i) hedge a notional amount not less than $215,000,000 and (ii) have a term expiring no earlier than the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date. Once Administrative Agent has approved a Swap Agreement in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Swap Agreement shall be deemed acceptable to Administrative Agent and shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence so long as it remains in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following Borrower’s timely request, Xxxxx Fargo is unable to provide a Swap Agreement which satisfies the requirements of this Section 2.11, then Borrower shall have no further obligation to enter into a Swap Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.11. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Administrative Agent hereby confirms that as of the date of this Agreement, Borrower has entered into a Swap Agreement which satisfies the conditions of this Section 2.11. |
(b) | If Borrower elects to purchase a Swap Agreement from Xxxxx Fargo, (i) Borrower shall satisfy all applicable eligibility requirements, (ii) Borrower shall, upon receipt from Administrative Agent, execute promptly all documents evidencing such transaction, and (iii) the Mortgage shall secure the Secured Swap Obligations on a pari passu basis. If Borrower purchases a Swap Agreement from a counterparty other than Xxxxx Fargo, such counterparty shall be reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and such Swap Agreement shall not be secured by the Collateral in any manner whatsoever, and Borrower shall, at Administrative Agent’s request, confirm that Borrower has collaterally assigned all of Borrower’s right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Swap Agreement to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, pursuant to a separate collateral assignment (in form and substance acceptable to Administrative |
23
Agent), and shall deliver to Administrative Agent executed counterparts of such Swap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Administrative Agent and require that, at Administrative Agent’s request, payments made to Borrower by the counterparty under such Swap Agreement be deposited directly into an account acceptable to Administrative Agent), executed by Borrower and the applicable counterparty. |
(c) | Borrower hereby grants and assigns to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a security interest, to secure payment and performance of the Obligations, in all of Borrower’s right, title and interest, now or hereafter acquired, to the payment of money to Borrower under any Swap Agreement. |
2.12 | REPAYMENT OF NON-REVOLVER TRANCHES. |
(a) | By not later than December 16, 2015, Borrower shall have repaid, in the aggregate, not less than Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan (the “First Non-Revolver Tranche”); provided, Borrower’s failure to repay such amount shall not constitute a Default hereunder. No Exit Fee will be due or payable in connection with such repayment. If, however, Borrower fails to repay an amount equal to the First Non-Revolver Tranche as of December 16, 2015, then commencing on January 10, 2016, and continuing on the tenth (10th) day of each month thereafter until an aggregate amount equal to the First Non-Revolver Tranche has been repaid, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent all Free Cash Flow from the Property for the immediately prior month. Such Free Cash Flow shall be applied in reduction of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, but shall not reduce the Aggregate Commitment. Borrower shall have the right to re-borrow the First Non-Revolver Tranche a single time in accordance with Section 3.4 below. |
(b) | Following Borrower’s repayment of an amount equal to the First Non-Revolver Tranche, Borrower shall have the right, but not the obligation, to voluntarily repay an additional amount up to Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan (the “Second Non-Revolver Tranche”). No Exit Fee will be due or payable in connection with any such repayments and such repayments shall not reduce the Aggregate Commitment. Borrower shall have the right to re-borrow the Second Non-Revolver Tranche a single time in accordance with Section 3.4 below. |
(c) | Any repayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan after Borrower has repaid an aggregate amount of Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) shall reduce the Aggregate Commitment and, if applicable, shall be subject to payment of the Exit Fee. |

3.8 | TAXES. |
(a) | FATCA. For purposes of this Section, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA. |
(b) | Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower or other applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. |
(c) | Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. |
(d) | Indemnification by Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified 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. |
(e) | Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower or another Loan Party has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without |
28
limiting the obligation of Borrower and the other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.13 relating to the maintenance of a Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such 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 any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this subsection. |
(f) | Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, Borrower or such other Loan Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a 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. |
(g) | Status of Lenders. |
(i) | Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. |
(ii) | Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Person: |
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), two (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, 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
29
thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(II) executed originals of IRS 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 Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or
(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, 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 reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)
30
of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h) | Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.8 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.8), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. |
(i) | Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.8 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. |

The execution, delivery and performance thereof, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, have been duly approved by the equity owners of Borrower and no other proceedings or authorizations on the part of Borrower or its equity owners are necessary to consummate such transactions, except for such as have been obtained or effected and true and correct copies of which have been delivered to Administrative Agent. Each of the Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party has been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally. |

Except as set forth or referred to in the organizational documents of Borrower, no ownership interest (or any securities, instruments, warrants, option or purchase rights, conversion or exchange rights, calls, commitments or claims of any character convertible into or exercisable for any ownership interest) of any such Person is subject to issuance under any security, instrument, warrant, option or purchase rights, conversion or exchange rights, call, commitment or claim of any right, title or interest therein or thereto. All of the ownership interests in Borrower have been issued in compliance with all applicable Requirements of Law. |

ARTICLE 8
LOAN CONSTANT COMPLIANCE
8.1 | LOAN CONSTANT COVERAGE. In the event that any Loan Constant Certificate delivered in accordance with Section 10.1(d) indicates that the Net Operating Income from the Property calculated as of the recently ended semi-annual period yields a Loan Constant of less than the Minimum Loan Constant, then commencing on the date on which a Loan Constant Certificate evidences Borrower’s failure to satisfy the Minimum Loan Constant (or, if Borrower fails to timely deliver a Loan Constant Certificate, then commencing on the date on which such Loan Constant Certificate is due) (the “Cash Flow Sweep Commencement Date”), Borrower shall be required to deliver all of the Free Cash Flow from the Property to Administrative Agent each month (the “Cash Flow Sweep”). Such Free Cash Flow shall be delivered by Borrower to Administrative Agent only one time per month (with such delivery to be made within ten (10) days after the end of the month on account of which Borrower is delivering such Free Cash Flow); provided, however, that notwithstanding the fact that a Loan Constant Certificate identifying Borrower’s failure to satisfy the Minimum Loan Constant is not due until sixty (60) days after the end of each semi-annual period, Borrower shall be obligated to deposit Free Cash Flow with Administrative Agent on account of the months immediately following the end of the semi-annual period in which Borrower fails to satisfy the Minimum Loan Constant, and such deposit shall be made by Borrower on the tenth (10th) day of the month immediately following the month during which the Loan Constant Certificate is delivered (or was required to be delivered). (By way of example, if Borrower fails to satisfy the Minimum Loan Constant for the semi-annual period ending December 31, 2015, then Borrower shall deposit such portion of its Free Cash Flow from January and February 2016 as it would be required to deposit in accordance with this Section 8.1 on March 10, 2016). Upon receipt thereof, Administrative Agent shall deposit (a) fifty percent (50%) of such funds into an interest-bearing blocked account with Xxxxx Fargo Bank in the name of Borrower (which account is hereby pledged as collateral for the Loan), from which Borrower may not withdraw funds (the “Swept Funds Blocked Account”) and (b) fifty percent (50%) of such funds into an interest-bearing blocked account with Xxxxx Fargo Bank in the name of Borrower (which account is hereby pledged as collateral for the Loan), from which Borrower may withdraw funds, |
37
subject to Section 3.5 (the “Swept Funds Disbursement Account”, and together with the Swept Funds Blocked Account, the “Cash Flow Collateral Accounts”). Borrower shall be required to deliver all of the Free Cash Flow from the Property to Administrative Agent until such time as the Net Operating Income from the Property yields the Minimum Loan Constant, as evidenced by a Loan Constant Certificate delivered in accordance with Section 10.1(d). |
8.2 | REPAYMENT IN LIEU OF CASH SWEEP. Notwithstanding Section 8.1 above, rather than delivering all of the Free Cash Flow from the Property to Administrative Agent following a failure of Net Operating Income from the Property to yield a Loan Constant of not less than the then Minimum Loan Constant, Borrower may elect to repay such portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan as would cause the Net Operating Income from the Property to yield a Loan Constant of not less than the Minimum Loan Constant, as evidenced by a Loan Constant Certificate delivered in accordance with Section 10.1(d). Borrower shall not be obligated to pay an Exit Fee with respect to amounts repaid in accordance with this Section 8.2. Provided a Default does not then exist, at Borrower’s request, Administrative Agent will apply funds in the Cash Flow Collateral Accounts toward repayment of the Loan in accordance with this Section 8.2. |
8.3 | DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS IN CASH FLOW COLLATERAL ACCOUNTS. Provided a Default does not then exist, within fifteen (15) days after Borrower’s request, which request may be given at any time after Borrower delivers a Loan Constant Certificate confirming that Net Operating Income from the Property, with respect to a recently ended semi-annual period, is sufficient to yield a Loan Constant of not less than the Minimum Loan Constant, Administrative Agent shall disburse all funds in the Cash Flow Collateral Accounts to or for the benefit of Borrower. |
8.4 | RECONCILIATION OF SWEEPS OF FREE CASH FLOW. In the event that Borrower is required to deliver Free Cash Flow to Administrative Agent under both this Article 8 and Section 2.12(a), then any Free Cash Flow delivered to Administrative Agent shall be first applied in accordance with Section 2.12(a). |
ARTICLE 9
OTHER COVENANTS OF BORROWER
9.1 | EXPENSES. Borrower shall immediately pay Administrative Agent upon demand all costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with: (a) the preparation of this Agreement, all other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents contemplated hereby; (b) the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents for the term of the Loan; and (c) the enforcement or satisfaction by Administrative Agent or Lenders of any of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents. For all purposes of this Agreement, Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s costs and expenses shall include, without limitation, all appraisal fees (except as otherwise expressly provided herein), cost engineering and inspection fees, legal fees and expenses, accounting fees, environmental consultant fees, auditor fees, UCC filing fees and/or UCC vendor fees, and the cost to Administrative Agent of any title insurance premiums, title surveys, reconveyance and notary fees. If any of the services described above are provided by an employee of Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent’s costs and expenses for such services shall be calculated in accordance with Administrative Agent’s standard charge for such services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have no obligation to reimburse Lenders for costs and expenses incurred by Lenders prior to the occurrence of a Default or following the cure, or waiver by Administrative Agent, of such Default. |
9.2 | ERISA COMPLIANCE. Borrower shall at all times comply with the provisions of ERISA with respect to any retirement or other employee benefit plan to which it is a party as employer, and as soon as possible after Borrower knows, or has reason to know, that any Reportable Event (as defined in ERISA) with respect to any such plan of Borrower has occurred, it shall furnish to Administrative Agent a written statement setting forth details as to such Reportable Event and the |
38
action, if any, which Borrower proposes to take with respect thereto, together with a copy of the notice of such Reportable Event furnished to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. |
9.3 | LEASES; LEASE APPROVAL; LEASE TERMINATION. |
(a) | Unless otherwise consented to by Administrative Agent in writing, all Leases entered into after the date of this Agreement shall, in Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion (i) be to unaffiliated third parties, (ii) contain market terms (provided, “market terms” shall not be deemed to require market rents), including, without limitation, those relating to insurance, waiver of claims, damage and destruction, condemnation, notice to mortgagee and subordination and attornment, (iii) provide for uses of the Property that are consistent with first-class management thereof, and (iv) be on a standard form lease reasonably approved by Administrative Agent subject to modification as reasonably required by Borrower. Additionally, Borrower shall not execute any Major Lease nor materially modify or voluntarily terminate any such Major Lease (except for terminations by reason of a material default or in the event tenant has a specific right to terminate provided in the Lease), in each case without Administrative Agent’s prior consent, not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, that any Major Lease with respect to more than 100,000 square feet of net rentable area of the Property shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Requisite Lenders. |
(b) | With respect to Major Leases, if consent thereto is required pursuant to subsection (a) above, or if Borrower has requested consent to a Lease which does not comply with the requirements set forth in Sections 9.3(a)(i), (ii) or (iii), then if Administrative Agent has not notified Borrower of its disapproval of such proposed Lease within five (5) Business Days (or, in cases where Requisite Lenders’ approval is required which will apply only if there is more than one Lender, eleven (11) Business Days) after Administrative Agent’s confirmation of receipt of (1) such proposed Lease (or a term sheet, in a form reasonably approved by Administrative Agent, containing the material business terms, and other applicable information reasonably approved by Borrower and Administrative Agent (the “Term Sheet”), which may be provided in lieu of such Lease), (2) any other reasonable information requested by Administrative Agent, (3) in the case of a Major Lease, the financial statements and market comparisons as referenced below to the extent available and (4) a transmittal letter requesting that Administrative Agent review such Proposed Lease or Term Sheet and approve or disapprove such proposed Lease or Term Sheet within such 5-Business Day period (or, in cases where Requisite Lenders’ approval is required, such 11-Business Day period) and notifying Administrative Agent that a failure to respond within five (5) Business Days (or eleven (11) Business Days, as applicable) shall constitute deemed approval, then Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have consented to such Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent’s approval (or deemed approval) of a Term Sheet shall not be deemed to permit Borrower to enter into a Lease on a form other than Borrower’s previously approved form lease (subject to modification as reasonably required by Borrower). |
(c) | Whether approval is required or not, Borrower shall promptly provide Administrative Agent with (i) a copy of every Lease executed with tenants occupying 10,000 square feet or more of the Property, and (ii) any and all financial information received by Borrower from any such tenants. |
(d) | Without limiting any other provisions of this Section 9.3, upon receipt of any Termination Payment, Borrower shall promptly deliver such Termination Payment to Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall deposit any such Termination Payment into a blocked account with Xxxxx Fargo Bank, which account is hereby pledged by Borrower to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, as additional collateral for the Loan and the performance by Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Termination Payment Account”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided a Default does |
39
not then exist, if Borrower receives a Termination Payment that is less than $250,000 (the “Termination Payment Cap”), then such Termination Payment may be retained by Borrower (provided, in no event shall Borrower be permitted to retain an aggregate amount (i.e., the sum of all Termination Payments being held by Borrower pursuant to the foregoing at any one time) in excess of $750,000). Any Termination Payments retained by Borrower in accordance with the foregoing sentence may be used by Borrower only for costs incurred by Borrower in re-tenanting the space on account of which the Termination Payment was made or for leasing costs incurred in connection with leasing vacant space at the Property. |
9.4 | SNDAs. |
(a) | To the extent not obtained prior to the date hereof, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain SNDAs from each tenant occupying more than twenty thousand (20,000) square feet of the net rentable area of the Property within sixty (60) days of the Effective Date. |
(b) | Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain SNDAs from any future tenant that leases more than twenty thousand (20,000) square feet of the net rentable area of the Property. |
(c) | Upon Borrower’s request from time to time, Administrative Agent agrees (i) to execute an SNDA with respect to any Lease that is actually approved by Administrative Agent (or Requisite Lenders, as applicable), provided that the SNDA is in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, and (ii) to execute an SNDA with respect to any Lease that is either deemed approved by Administrative Agent, or does not require approval by Administrative Agent, provided that the SNDA is in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole but good faith discretion. |
9.5 | SUBDIVISION MAPS. Prior to recording any final map, plat, parcel map, lot line adjustment or other subdivision map of any kind covering any portion of the Property (collectively, “Subdivision Map”), Borrower shall submit such Subdivision Map to Administrative Agent for Administrative Agent’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Within ten (10) Business Days after Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Subdivision Map, Administrative Agent shall provide Borrower written notice if Administrative Agent disapproves of said Subdivision Map. Within five (5) Business Days after Administrative Agent’s request, Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Administrative Agent such amendments to the Loan Documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably require to reflect the change in the legal description of the Property resulting from the recordation of any Subdivision Map. In connection with and promptly after the recordation of any amendment or other modification to the Mortgage recorded in connection with such amendments, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, at Borrower’s sole expense, a title endorsement to the Title Policy in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent insuring the continued first priority lien of the Mortgage. Subject to the execution and delivery by Borrower of any documents required under this Section, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, shall, if required by applicable law, sign any Subdivision Map approved by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section. Without limiting the foregoing, Administrative Agent and Lenders hereby acknowledge that during the term of the Loan Borrower may desire to record a condominium plan subdividing the retail portion of the Property and the office portion of the Property into separate condominium units, and in connection therewith, execute and record covenants, conditions and restrictions governing the use and operation of the separate condominium units, which may include the creation of an association and the deeding of certain common areas to the association (all such plans and documents, collectively, the “Condo Documents”). Subject to Administrative Agent’s review and approval (which approval may be withheld by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) of any Condo Documents (including, without limitation, all allocations, assessment provisions, other provisions having an economic impact on the Property, operational covenants, insurance |
40
provisions and mortgagee protections) and any economic impacts resulting from the subdivision of the Property, and provided any and all such Condo Documents comply with Applicable Law, Administrative Agent shall execute such consents and/or joinders (in forms acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) as are necessary to subordinate the lien of the Mortgage to the approved Condo Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) Administrative Agent’s consent to any Condo Documents may be conditioned upon, among other things, amendments to the Loan Documents to incorporate provisions customarily required by Administrative Agent with respect to loans secured by condominium projects and (ii) in no event will Administrative Agent’s consent, or subordination, to the Condo Documents be deemed an agreement by Administrative Agent or Lenders that Borrower may separately transfer, and/or cause to be released from the lien of the Mortgage, individual condominium units. |
9.6 | OPINIONS OF LEGAL COUNSEL. Borrower shall provide, at Borrower’s expense, opinions of legal counsel in form and content satisfactory to Administrative Agent to the effect that: (a) upon due authorization, execution and recordation or filing as may be specified in each opinion, each of the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents shall be legal, valid and binding instruments, enforceable against the makers thereof in accordance with their respective terms; (b) Borrower and Guarantor are duly formed and have all requisite authority to enter into the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents; and (c) such other matters, incident to the transactions contemplated hereby, as Administrative Agent may reasonably request. |
9.7 | FURTHER ASSURANCES. Upon Administrative Agent’s request and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any other instruments and perform any other acts necessary, desirable or proper, as determined by Administrative Agent, to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or to perfect and preserve any Liens created by the Loan Documents. |
9.8 | ASSIGNMENT. Without the prior written consent of Lenders, Borrower shall not assign Borrower’s interest under any of the Loan Documents, or in any monies due or to become due thereunder, and any assignment without such consent shall be void. In this regard, Borrower acknowledges that Lenders would not make this Loan except in reliance on Borrower’s expertise, reputation, prior experience in developing, constructing and managing commercial real property, Lenders’ knowledge of Borrower, and Lenders’ understanding that this Agreement is more in the nature of an agreement involving personal services than a standard loan where Lenders would rely on security which already exists. |
9.9 | MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY. |
(a) | From and after the Effective Date, Borrower shall not enter into, or thereafter amend in any material manner or terminate, any Major Agreement with respect to the Property, except upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to and approval by Administrative Agent. Borrower shall timely provide to Administrative Agent a copy of any such proposed Major Agreement. Any such proposed Major Agreement submitted to Administrative Agent for approval and not disapproved by Administrative Agent within ten (10) days after receipt thereof shall be deemed to be approved by Administrative Agent. Without limiting in any way Administrative Agent’s approval rights with respect thereto, each proposed Major Agreement shall provide for fees, reimbursements or other payments by Borrower to the other party thereto at levels not in excess of applicable market levels. |
(b) | Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement, property management or leasing agreements entered into with CB Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Inc., PM Realty Group, Transwestern, Xxxxxxx & Wakefield/Northmarq, Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxx LaSalle, or any other property or leasing manager of equivalent experience and reputation managing or leasing real properties similar to the Property, do not constitute Major Agreements provided such agreements provide for fees, reimbursements or other payments by Borrower to the other party thereto at levels not in excess of applicable |
41
market levels. If Borrower enters into such an agreement with any such party, Borrower shall within ten (10) days after entering into, or modifying, such agreement, notify Administrative Agent of such event and provide Administrative Agent with a true and correct copy of such agreement or amendment, as the case may be. |

9.12 | LIMITATIONS ON DISTRIBUTIONS, ETC. No Distributions by Borrower shall be made during the continuance of any Default. In addition, no Distributions may be made by Borrower during a calendar month at the expiration of which Borrower will be required to deposit Free Cash Flow with Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.12(a) or Section 8.1. In no event will Borrower be permitted to distribute any Termination Payments, whether or not a Default then exists. |

Further, the sum of the liabilities referred to in clauses (ii) and (v) shall at no time exceed $1,000,000, in the aggregate; provided, for purposes of determining whether the foregoing thresholds have been exceeded, only those liabilities referred to in clause (v) that have been delinquent for more than thirty (30) days shall be included in such calculation. |
9.14 | INTENTIONALLY OMITTED. |
9.15 | ENVIRONMENTAL INSURANCE PROCEEDS. Subject to the terms of the Mortgage, Borrower shall apply any proceeds received on account of environmental insurance policies maintained by Borrower which relate to the Property for remediation of the Property. |
42
9.16 | AMENDMENT OF CONSTITUENT DOCUMENTS. Except with Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, Borrower shall not amend its organizational documents (including, without limitation, as to the admission of any new equity owner, directly or indirectly). |
9.17 | OWNERSHIP OF BORROWER. |
(a) | Each Borrower shall be wholly owned, either directly or indirectly, by KBS REIT. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Agreement, the Mortgage or in any of the other Loan Documents, any transfers of equity interests or other interests in KBS REIT Properties III, LLC or in any of the direct or indirect owners of KBS REIT Properties III, LLC shall not be prohibited (and shall be expressly permitted) provided that KBS REIT continues to own, either directly or indirectly, 100% of the ownership interests in Borrower and KBS REIT Properties III, LLC, and provided further, that KBS REIT Properties III, LLC maintains compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the Limited Guaranty executed by Guarantor as of the date hereof. |

Borrower shall not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on or with respect to any Collateral, except (a) Liens in favor of Administrative Agent securing the Obligations and (b) Permitted Liens.

For purposes of calculating such aggregate square footage, Leases encumbering the Property as of the Effective Date shall be excluded. Within fifteen (15) days of Borrower’s receipt of any such request, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent (and the Lender requesting confirmation, if applicable) Borrower’s determination of the such aggregate square footage (the “Below-Market Lease Aggregate Square Footage”), which calculation shall be certified by the account controller, an officer or any other authorized representative of KBS REIT. Borrower’s failure to timely deliver such certificate shall be deemed Borrower’s certification that the Below-Market Lease Aggregate Square Footage exceeds one hundred thousand square feet (100,000), which deemed certification shall continue until Borrower delivers a certificate in accordance with the foregoing confirming otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Default shall not exist hereunder as a result of the fact that the aggregate square footage of Threshold Leases exceeds 100,000 square feet at the time Administrative Agent and/or a Lender makes a request pursuant to this Section 9.21. |

Upon such acceleration, Administrative Agent may, and at Requisite Lender’s direction shall, in addition to all other remedies permitted under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and at law or equity, apply any sums in any account pledged by Borrower as collateral for the Loan to the sums owing under the Loan Documents and any and all obligations of Lenders to fund further disbursements under the Loan (if any) shall terminate. |
11.3 | DISBURSEMENT TO THIRD PARTIES. Upon the occurrence of a Default occasioned by Borrower’s failure to pay money to a third party as required by this Agreement, Administrative Agent may but shall not be obligated to make such payment from the Loan proceeds or other funds of Lenders. If such payment is made from proceeds of the Loan, Borrower shall immediately deposit with Administrative Agent, upon written demand, an amount equal to such payment. If such payment is made from funds of Lenders, Borrower shall immediately repay such funds upon written demand of Administrative Agent.

11.4 | REPAYMENT OF FUNDS ADVANCED. Any funds expended by Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of its rights or remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable to Administrative Agent upon demand, together with interest at the rate applicable to the principal balance of the Loan from the date the funds were expended. |
50
11.5 | RIGHTS CUMULATIVE, NO WAIVER. All Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with those granted by law or at equity, are cumulative and may be exercised by Administrative Agent at any time. Administrative Agent’s exercise of any right or remedy shall not constitute a cure of any Default unless all sums then due and payable to Lenders under the Loan Documents are repaid and Borrower has cured all other Defaults. No waiver shall be implied from any failure of Administrative Agent to take, or any delay by Administrative Agent in taking, action concerning any Default or failure of condition under the Loan Documents, or from any previous waiver of any similar or unrelated Default or failure of condition. Any waiver or approval under any of the Loan Documents must be in writing and shall be limited to its specific terms. |
11.6 | ALLOCATION OF PROCEEDS. If an Event of Default exists and maturity of any of the Obligations has been accelerated or the Maturity Date has occurred, all payments received by Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, in respect of any principal of or interest on the Obligations or any other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder or thereunder, shall be applied in the following order and priority: |

(d) | payments of principal of the Loan and payments of all other Secured Swap Obligations, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders or Specified Derivatives Providers, as the case may be, in such order as the Lenders or Specified Derivatives Providers, as the case may be, may determine in their sole discretion; |
(e) | amounts due to Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Sections 12.12 and 13.1; |
(f) | payments of all other amounts due under any of the Loan Documents and Specified Derivatives Contracts, if any, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the applicable Specified Derivatives Providers; and |
(g) | any amount remaining after application as provided above, shall be paid to Borrower or whomever else may be legally entitled thereto. |
ARTICLE 12
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT; INTERCREDITOR PROVISIONS
The following provisions of this Article 12 shall govern the relationship of the Administrative Agent and Lenders and Borrower shall have no obligations hereunder:
12.1 | APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION. |
51
(a) | Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. |
(b) | Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. |
(c) | Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Administrative Agent”, “Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. |
(d) | The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 10. The Administrative Agent will also furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Affiliate of Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. |
(e) | As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of Borrower’s obligations hereunder), Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the obligations of Borrower; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Requirements of Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Potential Default or Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the Other Related Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders. |
12.2 | XXXXX FARGO AS LENDER. Xxxxx Fargo, as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise the |
52
same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Xxxxx Fargo in each case in its individual capacity. Xxxxx Fargo and its affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders. Further, the Administrative Agent and any affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Xxxxx Fargo or its affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower, other loan parties, other subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. |
12.3 | LOAN DISBURSEMENTS. |
(a) | On the Effective Date, and following each subsequent request for disbursement from Borrower which request shall be sent by Administrative Agent to each Lender and shall identify the proposed Funding Date, each Lender shall make available to Administrative Agent (or the funding bank or entity designated by Administrative Agent), the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan in immediately available funds not later than the times designated in Section 12.3(b). Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender not later than the close of business (San Francisco time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Effective Date or any subsequent Funding Date in respect of any disbursement that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender shall make such amount available to Administrative Agent. If any Lender does not notify Administrative Agent of its intention not to make available its Pro Rata Share of such disbursement as described above, but does not for any reason make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement, such Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate. In any case where a Lender does not for any reason make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement, Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, fund to Borrower such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement. If Administrative Agent funds to Borrower such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement and if such Lender subsequently pays to Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement. Nothing in this Section 12.3(a) shall alter the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder in respect of a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Pro Rata Advance. |
(b) | Requests by Administrative Agent for funding by Lenders of disbursements will be made by telecopy. Each Lender shall make the amount of its disbursement available to Administrative Agent in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to such bank and account, in Minneapolis, Minnesota (to such bank and account in such other place) as Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 9:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the date designated by Administrative Agent with respect to such disbursement, which date shall be not earlier than three (3) Business Days following Lender’s receipt of Administrative Agent’s request. |
(c) | Nothing in this Section 12.3 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Pro Rata Share of disbursements on the date designated by Administrative Agent, nor shall Administrative Agent or any Lender be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to perform its obligations to make any disbursement |
53
hereunder, and the Commitment of any Lender shall not be increased or decreased as a result of the failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make a disbursement. |
12.4 | DISTRIBUTION AND APPORTIONMENT OF PAYMENTS; DEFAULTING LENDERS. |
(a) | Subject to Section 12.4(b) below, payments actually received by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders shall be paid to them promptly after receipt thereof by Administrative Agent, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, provided that Administrative Agent shall pay to Lenders interest thereon, at the lesser of (i) the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) the rate of interest applicable to the Loan, from the Business Day following receipt of such funds by Administrative Agent until such funds are paid in immediately available funds to Lenders. All payments of principal, interest, and other payments under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall be allocated among such of Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares in the Loan or otherwise as provided herein or as separately agreed by Administrative Agent and any Lender. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, to each Lender at its primary address set forth on the appropriate signature page hereof or on the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, or at such other address as a Lender may request in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, provided that Administrative Agent shall in any event not be bound to inquire into or determine the validity, scope or priority of any interest or entitlement of any Lender and may suspend all payments and seek appropriate relief (including, without limitation, instructions from Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, or an action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or dispute as to any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby. The order of priority herein is set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of Lenders as among themselves and may at any time or from time to time be changed by Lenders as they may elect, in writing in accordance with this Agreement, without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by Borrower or any other Person. All payments or other sums received by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders shall not constitute property or assets of the Administrative Agent and shall be held by Administrative Agent, solely in its capacity as agent for itself and the other Lenders, subject to the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents. |
(b) | Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, until such time as a Defaulting Lender has funded its Pro Rata Share of a Protective Advance or prior Loan disbursements which was previously a Non-Pro Rata Advance, or all other Lenders have received payment in full (whether by repayment or prepayment) of the amounts due in respect of such Non-Pro Rata Advance, all of the indebtedness and obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of payment, as provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all principal, interest and fees in respect of all Non-Pro Rata Advances in which the Defaulting Lender has not funded its Pro Rata Share (such principal, interest and fees being referred to as “Senior Loans”). All amounts paid by Borrower and otherwise due to be applied to the indebtedness and obligations owing to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Loan (recalculated for purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan), until all Senior Loans have been paid in full. This provision governs only the relationship among Administrative Agent, each Defaulting Lender, and the other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether a Default occurs and is then continuing, and notwithstanding (a) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (b) any instruction of Borrower as to its desired application of payments or (c) the suspension of such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of Requisite Lenders or all Lenders. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to (i) |
54
withhold or setoff, and to apply to the payment of the defaulted amount and any related interest, any amounts to be paid to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. In addition, the Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities and costs, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate as set forth in the Notes, which they may sustain or incur by reason of or as a direct consequence of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations under this Agreement. |
12.5 | PRO RATA TREATMENT. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from Lenders shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of the fees shall be made for the account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loan by Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loan held by them, provided that if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of the Loan the outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in effect at the time the Loan was made, then such payment shall be applied to the Loan in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Loan being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; and (c) each payment of interest on the Loan by Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on the Loan then due and payable to the respective Lenders. |
12.6 | SHARING OF PAYMENTS, ETC. Lenders agree among themselves that (i) with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment of the obligations of Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan, equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares in the Loan, whether received by voluntary payment, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any or all of such obligations, (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such obligations held by it which is greater than its Pro Rata Share in the Loan of the payments on account of such obligations, the one receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such obligations owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with such Pro Rata Shares; provided, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to that party to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 12.6 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation. |
12.7 | COLLATERAL MATTERS; PROTECTIVE ADVANCES. |
(a) | Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to a Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral, Loan Documents or Other Related Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents. |
55
(b) | The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of all of obligations of Borrower hereunder; (ii) as expressly permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; and (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section. |
(c) | Upon any sale and transfer of Collateral which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the obligations of Borrower or any Liens upon (or obligations of Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by Borrower or any other Loan Party, including (without limitation) the proceeds of such sale or transfer, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by the Administrative Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure. |
(d) | The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or any other Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent in this Section 12.7(d) or in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. |
(e) | The Administrative Agent may make, and shall be reimbursed by the Lenders (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares) to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower for, Protective Advances during any one calendar year with respect to the Property up to the sum of (i) amounts expended to pay real estate taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Property; (ii) amounts expended to pay insurance premiums for policies of insurance related to the Property; and (iii) $100,000. Protective Advances in excess of said sum during any calendar year shall require the consent of the Requisite Lenders. Borrower agrees to pay on demand all Protective Advances. |
(f) | Each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against Borrower or any other obligor hereunder under the Loan |
56
Documents or the Other Related Documents with respect to exercising claims against or rights in the Collateral without the written consent of Requisite Lenders. |
12.8 | POST-FORECLOSURE PLANS. If all or any portion of the Collateral is to be acquired by the Administrative Agent as a result of a foreclosure or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any part of the obligations of Borrower hereunder, the title to any such Collateral, or any portion thereof, shall be held in the name of the Administrative Agent or a nominee or subsidiary of the Administrative Agent, as agent, for the ratable benefit of all Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall prepare a recommended course of action for such Collateral (a “Post-Foreclosure Plan”), which shall be subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders. In accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, the Administrative Agent shall manage, operate, repair, administer, complete, construct, restore or otherwise deal with the Collateral acquired, and shall administer all transactions relating thereto, including, without limitation, employing a management agent, leasing agent and other agents, contractors and employees, including agents for the sale of such Collateral, and the collecting of rents and other sums from such Collateral and paying the expenses of such Collateral. Actions taken by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral, which are not specifically provided for in the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan or reasonably incidental thereto, shall require the written consent of the Requisite Lenders by way of supplement to such Post-Foreclosure Plan. Upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender will contribute its share (based on its Pro Rata Share) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan in connection with the construction, operation, management, maintenance, leasing and sale of such Collateral. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall render or cause to be rendered to each Lender, on a monthly basis, an income and expense statement for such Collateral, and each Lender shall promptly contribute its Pro Rata Share of any operating loss for such Collateral, and such other expenses and operating reserves as the Administrative Agent shall deem reasonably necessary pursuant to and in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan. To the extent there is net operating income from such Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall, in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to the Lenders. All such distributions shall be made to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. The Lenders acknowledge and agree that if title to any Collateral is obtained by the Administrative Agent or its nominee, such Collateral will not be held as a permanent investment but will be liquidated as soon as practicable. The Administrative Agent shall undertake to sell such Collateral, at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Requisite Lenders reasonably shall determine to be most advantageous to the Lenders. Any purchase money mortgage or deed of trust taken in connection with the disposition of such Collateral in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall name the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Lenders, as the beneficiary or mortgagee. In such case, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall enter into an agreement with respect to such purchase money mortgage or deed of trust defining the rights of the Lenders in the same Pro Rata Shares as provided hereunder, which agreement shall be in all material respects similar to this Article insofar as the same is appropriate or applicable. |
12.9 | APPROVALS OF LENDERS. All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the Administrative Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Administrative Agent (together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as |
57
may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination. |
12.10 | NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Potential Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Potential Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Potential Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”. Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. |
12.11 | ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RELIANCE, ETC. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of Borrower or other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any Collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such Collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. |
12.12 | INDEMNIFICATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Regardless of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents are consummated, each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a “Lender”) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or Other Related |
58
Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents and/or collect any obligation of Borrower hereunder, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Hazardous Materials Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section 12.12 shall survive the payment of the Loan and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment. |
12.13 | LENDER CREDIT DECISION, ETC. Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower, any other Loan Party or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel, and based on the financial statements of Borrower, the other Loan Parties or Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of Borrower, the other Loan Parties and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, Borrower, any other Loan Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly |
59
required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates. Each Lender acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender. |
12.14 | SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Potential Default exists, be subject to Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 12 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving Borrower and each Lender prior written notice. |
12.15 | TITLED AGENTS. Each of the Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Book Runner (each a “Titled Agent”) in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of the Loan, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Titled Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled. |
12.16 | NO SET-OFFS. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the exercise by any Lender of offset, set-off, banker’s lien or similar rights against any deposit account or other property or asset of Borrower, regardless of the state in which the property is located, could result under certain laws in significant impairment of the ability of all Lenders to recover any further amounts in respect of the Loan. Therefore, each Lender agrees not to charge or offset any amount owed to it by Borrower against any of the accounts, property or assets of Borrower or any of its affiliates held by such Lender without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders. |
ARTICLE 13

BORROWER’S DUTY AND OBLIGATIONS TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS INDEMNITEES SHALL SURVIVE CANCELLATION OF THE NOTES AND THE RELEASE, RECONVEYANCE OR PARTIAL RECONVEYANCE OF THE MORTGAGE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT BORROWER SHALL NOT HAVE ANY OBLIGATION TO AN INDEMNITEE HEREUNDER WITH RESPECT TO (A) MATTERS FOR WHICH SUCH INDEMNITEE HAS BEEN COMPENSATED PURSUANT TO OR FOR WHICH AN EXEMPTION IS PROVIDED IN ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND (B) INDEMNIFIED MATTERS TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY OR RESULTING FROM THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF THAT INDEMNITEE, AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE UNDERTAKING TO INDEMNIFY, PAY AND HOLD HARMLESS SET FORTH IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE MAY BE UNENFORCEABLE BECAUSE IT IS VIOLATIVE OF ANY LAW OR PUBLIC POLICY, BORROWER SHALL CONTRIBUTE THE MAXIMUM PORTION WHICH IT IS PERMITTED TO PAY AND SATISFY UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, TO THE PAYMENT AND SATISFACTION OF ALL INDEMNIFIED MATTERS INCURRED BY THE INDEMNITEES. |

13.4 | NOTICES.

All communications shall be deemed served upon delivery of, or if mailed, upon the first to occur of receipt or the expiration of three (3) days after the deposit in the United States Postal Service mail, postage prepaid and addressed to the address of Borrower or Administrative Agent and Lenders at the address specified; provided, however, that non-receipt of any communication as the result of any change of address of which the sending party was not notified or as the result of a refusal to accept delivery shall be deemed receipt of such communication. Unless otherwise |
61
expressly provided herein, notices, financial statements, certificates, and other items to be delivered by Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section. Lenders acknowledge that Borrower may rely on communications from the Administrative Agent concerning the Loan without further verification or approval directly from any Lender. |
13.5 | ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent, as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest, to execute and/or record in Administrative Agent’s or Borrower’s name any notices, instruments or documents that Administrative Agent deems appropriate to protect Lenders’ interest under any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents. |
13.6 | ACTIONS. Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent or any Lender, in exercising the rights, duties or liabilities of Administrative Agent, Lenders or Borrower under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, may commence, appear in or defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Property, the Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents and Borrower shall immediately reimburse Administrative Agent (or, following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, such Lender) upon demand for all such expenses so incurred or paid by Administrative Agent (or such Lender, as applicable) including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs. |
13.7 | RIGHT OF CONTEST. Borrower may contest in good faith any claim, demand, levy or assessment (other than Liens and stop notices) by any person other than Administrative Agent or Lenders which would constitute a Default if: (a) Borrower pursues the contest diligently, in a manner which Administrative Agent determines is not prejudicial to Administrative Agent or any Lender, and does not impair the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents; and (b) Borrower deposits with Administrative Agent any funds or other forms of assurance which Administrative Agent in good faith determines from time to time appropriate to protect Administrative Agent and each Lender from the consequences of the contest being unsuccessful. Borrower’s compliance with this Section 13.7 shall operate to prevent such claim, demand, levy or assessment from becoming a Default. |
13.8 | RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. The relationship of Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender, and Administrative Agent and Lenders neither undertake nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any third party with respect to the Property, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents. |
13.9 | DELAY OUTSIDE LENDER’S CONTROL.

13.10 | ATTORNEY’S FEES AND EXPENSES. If any attorney is engaged by Administrative Agent or, following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, any Lender, to enforce or defend any provision of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, or as a consequence of any Default under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, and including, without limitation, any fees and expenses incurred in any bankruptcy proceeding of Borrower, then |
62
Borrower shall immediately pay to Administrative Agent or such Lender, upon demand, the amount of all attorneys’ fees and expenses and all costs incurred by Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection therewith, together with interest thereon from the date of such demand until paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance of the Loan. |
13.11 | IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FUNDS. Unless otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, all amounts payable by Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be payable only in United States Dollars, immediately available funds. |
13.12 | AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. |
(a) | Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or in any Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, (ii) any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document (other than any fee letter solely between Borrower and the Administrative Agent) may be amended, (iii) the performance or observance by Borrower or any other Loan Party of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document (other than any fee letter solely between Borrower and the Administrative Agent) may be waived, and (iv) the continuance of any Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders), and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party which is party thereto. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent, shall be authorized on behalf of all the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to, or further consent from, any Lender, to waive the imposition of the late fees provided in Section 2.7(c), up to a maximum of three (3) times per calendar year. |
(b) | Unanimous Consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing, and signed by all of the Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Lenders), do any of the following: |
(i) | increase the Commitments of the Lenders (excluding any increase as a result of an assignment of Commitments permitted under Section 13.13) or subject the Lenders to any additional obligations; |
(ii) | reduce the principal of, or interest rates that have accrued or that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, the Loan; |
(iii) | reduce the amount of any fees payable to the Lenders hereunder; |
(iv) | postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loan (including, without limitation, the Maturity Date) or for the payment of fees or any other obligations of Borrower or Guarantor; |

No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon Borrower shall entitle Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. |
13.13 | SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. |
(a) | Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all the Lenders (and any such assignment or transfer to which all of the Lenders have not consented shall be void). |
(b) | Participations. Any Lender may at any time grant to an affiliate of such Lender, or one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or the obligations owing to such Lender hereunder. No Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided however, such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loan or a portion thereof owing to such Lender (other than as expressly contemplated by Section 2.6), (iii) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon, or (iv) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, unless replacement collateral is provided. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b) |

(c) | Assignments. Any Lender may with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and Borrower (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld; it being understood and agreed that it would be reasonable for Borrower to withhold its consent if as a result of such assignment Borrower reasonably believes that it is likely it will be required to makes additional payments with respect to Indemnified Taxes as provided in Section 3.8 above) at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes; provided, however, (i) no such consent by Borrower shall be required (x) if a Default or Potential Default shall exist or (y) in the case of an assignment to another Lender or an affiliate of another Lender; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, so long as a Default does not then exist, Borrower shall have the right to disapprove any voluntary assignment of the Loan by Administrative Agent or a Lender, unless Administrative Agent or such Lender (as applicable) (A) acknowledges in writing that such assignment shall not constitute an “Additional Termination Event” under any Swap Agreement provided by such Person, if any, and (B) waives any right it may have to terminate such Swap Agreement due to such assignment, if any; (ii) any partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000 and after giving effect to such assignment the assigning Lender retains a Commitment, and (iii) each such assignment shall be effected by means of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Unless Borrower gives written notice to Lender that it objects to the proposed assignment (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) days following receipt of Lender’s written request for approval of the proposed assignment, Borrower shall be deemed to have approved such assignment Upon execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be deemed to be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and Borrower shall make appropriate arrangement so the new Notes are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $4,500. Anything in this Section 13.13(c) to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to Borrower, or any of its respective Affiliates or subsidiaries. |
(d) | Borrower Cooperation. In the event of any such sale, assignment or participation, a Lender and the parties to such transaction shall share in the rights and obligations of Lender as set forth in the Loan Documents only as and to the extent they agree among themselves. Borrower will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Lender in connection with the assignment of interests under this Agreement or the sale of participations herein, and, upon written request by Lender, Borrower shall enter into such amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably required in order to evidence any such sale, assignment or participation, including separate Notes, so long as (i) Borrower’s obligations are not increased thereunder in any material respect and (ii) Borrower incurs no additional costs or additional liabilities in connection therewith. |
(e) | Tax Withholding. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first day on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any Lender, each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, or a state thereof, shall furnish the Administrative Agent and Borrower with a properly completed executed copy of either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN |
65
and either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and any additional form (or such other form) as is necessary to claim complete exemption from United States withholding taxes on all payments hereunder. At all times each Lender shall own or beneficially own a Note, such Lender shall (i) promptly provide to the Administrative Agent and Borrower a new Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN and Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and any additional form (or such other form) (or any successor form or forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable United States laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such Lender, and (ii) comply at all times with all applicable United States laws and regulations, including all provisions of any applicable tax treaty, with regard to any withholding tax exemption claimed with respect to any payments on the Loan. If any Lender cannot deliver such form, then Borrower may withhold from payments due under the Loan Documents such amounts as Borrower is able to determine from accurate information provided by such Lender are required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
(f) | Federal Reserve Bank Assignments. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Section, any Lender may at any time and from time to time, pledge and assign all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge of assignment shall release such Lender from its obligation thereunder. |
(g) | Information to Assignee, Etc. A Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower, any subsidiary or any other Loan Party in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Assignees and Participants (including prospective Assignees and Participants). In connection with such negotiation, execution and delivery, Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent and Lenders to communicate all information and documentation related to the Loan (whether to Borrower or to any Participant, Assignee, legal counsel, appraiser or other necessary party) directly by e-mail, fax, or other electronic means used to transmit information. |
(h) | USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. In order for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act, prior to any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with federal law. |
(i) | Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) 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 absent manifest error, and Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall 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. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. |
13.14 | ADDITIONAL COSTS; CAPITAL ADEQUACY. |
66
(a) | Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or any Participant in the Loan determines that compliance with any law or regulation or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or such Participant, or any corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant, as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s or such Participant’s or such corporation’s Commitments or its making or maintaining its portion of the Loan below the rate which such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of such Lender or such Participant or corporation with regard to capital), then Borrower shall, from time to time, within thirty (30) calendar days after written demand by such Lender or such Participant, pay to such Lender or such Participant additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant to the extent that such Lender or such Participant determines such increase in capital is allocable to such Lender’s or such Participant’s obligations hereunder. |
(b) | Additional Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding clause (a), Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its calculation of Effective Rates hereunder with reference to the LIBO Rate or its obligation to calculate Effective Rates hereunder with reference to the LIBO Rate, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents as a result of the Effective Rates under this Agreement being calculated with reference to the LIBO Rate or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of amounts outstanding hereunder which are accruing interest at an Effective Rate calculated with reference to the LIBO Rate or its Commitments (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income of such Lender or of its Lending Office for any loans made upon which interest is calculated with reference to the LIBO Rate by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Lending Office), or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (including without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which Effective Rates calculated with reference to the LIBO Rate are determined) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder) or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy). |
(c) | Lender’s Suspension Of Libor Loans; Unavailability of LIBO Rate. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsection (a) and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which Effective Rates are calculated with reference to the LIBO Rate as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes interest rates calculated with reference to the LIBO Rate or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the |
67
amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or continue advances on which interest is calculated with reference to the LIBO Rate shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect, in which case interest shall be calculated based on the Federal Funds Rate plus the Spread until such Lender gives notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) that such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect. |
(d) | Notification And Determination Of Additional Costs. Each of Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to notify Borrower of any event occurring after the Effective Date entitling Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Participant to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Participant to give such notice shall not release Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder. Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to Borrower (and in the case of a Lender or a Participant to Administrative Agent as well) Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section. Determinations by Administrative Agent, such Lender, or such Participant, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. |
13.15 | LENDER’S AGENTS. Administrative Agent and/or any Lender may designate an agent or independent contractor to exercise any of such Person’s rights under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents. Any reference to Administrative Agent or any Lender in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall include Administrative Agent’s and such Lender’s agents, employees or independent contractors. Borrower shall pay the costs of such agent or independent contractor either directly to such person or to Administrative Agent or such Lender in reimbursement of such costs, as applicable. |
13.16 | TAX SERVICE. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is authorized to secure, at Borrower’s expense, a tax service contract with a third party vendor which shall provide tax information on the Property satisfactory to Administrative Agent. |
13.17 | WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THEN APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (a) ARISING UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE MODIFICATION THEREOF OR (b) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS (AS NOW OR HEREAFTER MODIFIED) OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION IS NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT THEY MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY. |
13.18 | SEVERABILITY. If any provision or obligation under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents and the validity, legality and enforceability of the |
68
remaining provisions or obligations shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been a part of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, provided, however, that if the rate of interest or any other amount payable under the Notes or this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the right of collectibility therefor, are declared to be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable, Lenders’ obligations to make advances under the Loan Documents shall not be enforceable by Borrower. |
13.19 | TIME. Time is of the essence of each and every term of this Agreement. |
13.20 | HEADINGS. All article, section or other headings appearing in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents are for convenience of reference only and shall be disregarded in construing this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents. |

13.22 | USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE; COMPLIANCE. |
(a) | The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56) and federal regulations issued with respect thereto require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, Lender (for itself and/or as Agent for all Lenders hereunder) may from time-to-time request, and Borrower shall provide to Lender, Borrower’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for Lender to comply with federal law.

The Administrative Agent or Borrower may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic delivery pursuant to procedures approved by it for all or particular notices or communications. Documents or notices delivered electronically shall be deemed to have been delivered twenty-four (24) hours after the date and time on which the Administrative Agent or Borrower posts such documents or the documents become available on a commercial website and the Administrative Agent or Borrower notifies each Lender of said posting and provides a link thereto provided if |
69

13.27 | LIMITATION ON PERSONAL LIABILITY OF SHAREHOLDERS, PARTNERS AND MEMBERS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, none of the constituent shareholders, partners or members (direct or indirect) in Borrower shall have any liability whatsoever for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations.

SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT; ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF LEASE ASSIGNMENT,
ATTORNMENT AND NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENT
(Lease To Mortgage)
NOTICE: | THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT RESULTS IN YOUR SECURITY INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY BECOMING SUBJECT TO AND OF LOWER PRIORITY THAN THE LIEN OF SOME OTHER OR LATER SECURITY INSTRUMENT. |
THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT; ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF LEASE ASSIGNMENT, ESTOPPEL, ATTORNMENT AND NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made by and between KBSIII 000 XXXX XXXXXXX, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Owner”), (“Lessee”) and XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent for itself and certain additional lenders (“Administrative Agent”).
R E C I T A L S
A. | Pursuant to the terms and provisions of a lease dated (“Lease”), Owner, as “Lessor”, granted to Lessee a leasehold estate in and to the property described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (which property, together with all improvements now or hereafter located on the property, is defined as the “Property”). |
B. | Owner has executed, or proposes to execute, a (the “Mortgage”) securing, among other things, promissory notes (as the same may be amended, restated or replaced from time to time, the “Note”) in the aggregate principal sum of $255,000,000, which Note is payable with interest and upon the terms and conditions described therein (“Loan”). |
C. | As a condition to making the Loan secured by the Mortgage, Administrative Agent requires that the Mortgage be unconditionally and at all times remain a lien on the Property, prior and superior to all the rights of Lessee under the Lease and that the Lessee specifically and unconditionally subordinates the Lease to the lien of the Mortgage. |
D. | Owner and Lessee have agreed to the subordination, attornment and other agreements herein in favor of Administrative Agent. |
NOW THEREFORE, for valuable consideration and to induce Administrative Agent to make the Loan, Owner and Lessee hereby agree for the benefit of Administrative Agent as follows:
1. | SUBORDINATION. Owner and Lessee hereby agree that: |
EXHIBIT C - Page 1
1.1 | Prior Lien. The Mortgage securing the Note in favor of Administrative Agent, and any modifications, renewals or extensions thereof, shall unconditionally be and at all times remain a lien on the Property prior and superior to the Lease; |
1.2 | Subordination. Administrative Agent would not make the Loan without this agreement to subordinate; and |
1.3 | Whole Agreement. This Agreement shall be the whole agreement and only agreement with regard to the subordination of the Lease to the lien of the Mortgage and shall supersede and cancel, but only insofar as would affect the priority between the Mortgage and the Lease, any prior agreements as to such subordination, including, without limitation, those provisions, if any, contained in the Lease which provide for the subordination of the Lease to a deed or deeds of trust or to a mortgage or mortgages. |
AND FURTHER, Lessee individually declares, agrees and acknowledges for the benefit of Lender, that:
1.4 | Use of Proceeds. Administrative Agent, in making disbursements pursuant to the Note, the Mortgage or any loan agreements with respect to the Property, is under no obligation or duty to, nor has Administrative Agent represented that it will, see to the application of such proceeds by the person or persons to whom Administrative Agent disburses such proceeds, and any application or use of such proceeds for purposes other than those provided for in such agreement or agreements shall not defeat this agreement to subordinate in whole or in part; |
1.5 | Waiver, Relinquishment and Subordination. Lessee intentionally and unconditionally waives, relinquishes and subordinates all of Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to the Property to the lien of the Mortgage and understands that in reliance upon, and in consideration of, this waiver, relinquishment and subordination, specific loans and advances are being and will be made by Administrative Agent and, as part and parcel thereof, specific monetary and other obligations are being and will be entered into which would not be made or entered into but for said reliance upon this waiver, relinquishment and subordination. |
2. | ASSIGNMENT. Lessee acknowledges and consents to the assignment of the Lease by Lessor in favor of Lender. |
3. | ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS. Lessee covenants and agrees that, during all such times as Administrative Agent is the beneficiary under the Mortgage: |
3.1 | Modification, Termination and Cancellation. Lessee will not consent to any modification, amendment, termination or cancellation of the Lease (in whole or in part) without giving Administrative Agent prior written notice thereof and will not make any payment to Lessor in consideration of any modification, termination or cancellation of the Lease (in whole or in part) without giving Administrative Agent prior written notice thereof; |
3.2 | Notice of Default. Lessee will notify Administrative Agent in writing concurrently with any notice given to Lessor of any default by Lessor under the Lease, and Lessee agrees that Administrative Agent has the right (but not the obligation) to cure any breach or default specified in such notice within the time periods set forth below and Lessee will not declare a default of the Lease, as to Administrative Agent, if Administrative Agent cures such default within fifteen (15) days from and after the expiration of the time period provided in the Lease for the cure thereof by Lessor; provided, however, that if such default cannot with diligence be cured by Administrative Agent within such fifteen (15) day period, the commencement of action by Administrative Agent within such fifteen (15) |
EXHIBIT C - Page 2
day period to remedy the same shall be deemed sufficient so long as Administrative Agent pursues such cure with diligence; |
3.3 | No Advance Rents. Lessee will make no payments or prepayments of rent more than one (1) month in advance of the time when the same become due under the Lease; and |
3.4 | Assignment of Rents. Upon receipt by Lessee of written notice from Administrative Agent that Administrative Agent has elected to terminate the license granted to Lessor to collect rents, as provided in the Mortgage, and directing the payment of rents by Lessee to Administrative Agent, Lessee shall comply with such direction to pay and shall not be required to determine whether Lessor is in default under the Loan and/or the Mortgage. |
4. | ATTORNMENT. In the event of a foreclosure under the Mortgage, Lessee agrees for the benefit of Administrative Agent (including for this purpose any transferee of Administrative Agent or any transferee of Lessor’s title in and to the Property by Administrative Agent’s exercise of the remedy of sale by foreclosure under the Mortgage) as follows: |
4.1 | Payment of Rent. Lessee shall pay to Administrative Agent all rental payments required to be made by Lessee pursuant to the terms of the Lease for the duration of the term of the Lease; |
4.2 | Continuation of Performance. Lessee shall be bound to Administrative Agent in accordance with all of the provisions of the Lease for the balance of the term thereof, and Lessee hereby attorns to Administrative Agent as its landlord, such attornment to be effective and self operative without the execution of any further instrument immediately upon Lender succeeding to Lessor’s interest in the Lease and giving written notice thereof to Lessee; |
4.3 | No Offset. Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, nor subject to, any offsets or defenses which Lessee may have by reason of any act or omission of Lessor under the Lease, nor for the return of any sums which Lessee may have paid to Lessor under the Lease as and for security deposits, advance rentals or otherwise, except to the extent that such sums are actually delivered by Lessor to Administrative Agent; and |
4.4 | Subsequent Transfer. If Administrative Agent, by succeeding to the interest of Lessor under the Lease, should become obligated to perform the covenants of Lessor thereunder, then, upon any further transfer of Lessor’s interest by Administrative Agent, all of such obligations shall terminate as to Administrative Agent. |
5. | NON-DISTURBANCE. In the event of a foreclosure under the Mortgage, so long as there shall then exist no breach, default, or event of default on the part of Lessee under the Lease, Administrative Agent agrees for itself and its successors and assigns that the leasehold interest of Lessee under the Lease shall not be extinguished or terminated by reason of such foreclosure, but rather the Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Administrative Agent shall recognize and accept Lessee as tenant under the Lease subject to the terms and provisions of the Lease except as modified by this Agreement; provided, however, that Lessee and Administrative Agent agree that the following provisions of the Lease (if any) shall not be binding on Administrative Agent: any option to purchase with respect to the Property; any right of first refusal with respect to the Property; any provision regarding the use of insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds with respect to the Property which is inconsistent with the terms of the Mortgage. |
