2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.4, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may prepay the Loan in whole (but not in part) upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) Borrower shall provide a written notice to Lender (which notice may be revoked at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified, but Borrower shall be responsible for any of Lender’s resulting out of pocket costs)) of such prepayment no less than thirty (30) days, and no more than sixty (60) days, prior to the date of such prepayment, specifying the Business Day on which a prepayment of the Debt (the “Prepayment Date”) is to be made; and
(ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Prepayment Date, together with any portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance being repaid:
(1) all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount of the Outstanding Principal Balance being prepaid, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include interest on such amount calculated at the applicable Interest Rate through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs; and
(2) without duplication of any of the foregoing, all other sums, then due under the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instruments, and the other Loan Documents including the Exit Fee and, if applicable, the Yield Maintenance Premium.
(b) If for any reason Borrower fails to prepay the Loan on the Prepayment Date (including if such notice is revoked), Borrower shall pay to Lender any actual out-of-pocket losses, costs, damages or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in connection therewith.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default has then occurred and is continuing, the Yield Maintenance Premium shall not be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Exit Fee will be payable).
2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If, during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower and accepted by Lender or is otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof, and Borrower shall pay, as part of the Debt, all of: (i) interest calculated at the Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, and (ii) an amount equal to the Exit Fee or Yield Maintenance Prepayment payable in connection therewith.
18 |
Section 2.5 Release of Property. No repayment, prepayment of all or any portion of the Note shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the Lien of any Security Instrument. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of the Debt in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, execute such instruments and agreements as needed in order to release the Lien of the Security Instrument.

Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Borrower or any Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or any Property are bound.

The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s liabilities (including contingent liabilities, if any), including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of Borrower).

None of Managers, Guarantor or Borrower has any pension, profit sharing, stock option, insurance or other arrangement or plan for employees covered by Title IV of ERISA, and no “Reportable Event” as defined in ERISA has occurred and is now continuing with respect to any such plan.

Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, any order of a bankruptcy court or plan approved thereby. There has not been committed by Borrower (or any other Person), any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against any Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. To the knowledge of Borrower, neither the Improvements, if any, as constructed, nor the use of any Property or any contemplated accessory uses, will violate (a) any Legal Requirements (including subdivision, zoning, building, environmental protection and wetland protection Legal Requirements), or (b) any building permits, restrictions or records, or agreements affecting any Property or any part thereof. To the knowledge of Borrower, neither the zoning authorizations, approvals or variances nor any other right to construct or to use any Property is to any extent dependent upon or related to any real estate other than such Property.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, all proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied at Lender’s sole discretion to (I) the Debt, or (II) operating expenses for each Property approved by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the Debt, except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

(x) if applicable, the commercial property, business income, general liability and umbrella or excess liability insurance required under Sections 6.1(a)(i), (ii), (iii) and (viii) above shall cover perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism and Borrower shall maintain commercial property and business income insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism on terms (including amounts) consistent with those required under Sections 6.1(a)(i), (ii), (iii) and (viii) above at all times during the term of the Loan so long as Lender determines that either (I) prudent owners of real estate comparable to each Property are maintaining same or (II) prudent institutional lenders (including, without limitation, investment banks) to such owners are requiring that such owners maintain such insurance; and
(xi) upon sixty (60) days’ notice, such other insurance and in such amounts as Lender from time to time may request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for properties similar to each Property located in or around the region in which each Property is located.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P or “A-X” or better by AM Best or “A3” or better by Xxxxx’x Investor Service, Inc. Prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the renewal or successor Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender. Borrower shall supply an original or certified copy of the original policy within ten (10) days of request by Lender, provided that the policy is available.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to each Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only such Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a).
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender (and its successors and assigns) as Mortgagee, Loss Payee and Additional Insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All Policies provided for in this Section 6.1 shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that: (i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned; (ii) the Policies on which Lender is listed as a Mortgagee shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ notice to Lender; (iii) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder; and (iv) shall contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of Lender.
40 |
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in each Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole and absolute discretion deems appropriate and that is in accordance with Section 6.1(a). All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Security Instruments and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Without limitation, Borrower shall continue to maintain all insurance that is in effect as of the date hereof.
Section 6.2 Casualty. If any Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall (a) give prompt notice of such damage to Lender, and (b) promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of Restoration so that such Property resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition such Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in (and have approval rights over) any settlement discussions with any insurance companies with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing Restoration are equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding in respect of Condemnation, and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to perform the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Outstanding Principal Balance shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Obligations. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the applicable Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any Property or any portion thereof is taken by a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute Restoration and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If any Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
Section 6.4 Restoration. If there are any Improvements on any Property, the following provisions shall apply:
(a) If the Net Proceeds and the costs of completing Restoration shall each be less than ten percent (10%) of the original principal balance of the Loan, then the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) of the original principal balance of the Loan, but less than thirty percent (30%) of the original principal balance of the Loan, or the costs of completing Restoration are equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) of the original principal balance of the Loan, but less than thirty percent (30%) of the original principal balance of the Loan, then, in either case, the Net Proceeds will be held by Lender and Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i), (iv), (vi), (ix), (x) and (xi) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel costs and fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel costs and fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
41 |
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration upon the determination of Lender in its sole and absolute discretion exercised in good faith that the following conditions are met:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (other than an Event of Default resulting solely from such Casualty or Condemnation that will be cured upon Restoration);
(B) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the applicable Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of such Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;
(C) if applicable, Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than eighty percent (80%) of the total rentable space in the applicable Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and will make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto at their sole cost and expense;
(D) Borrower shall commence Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after Borrower’s receipt of the Net Proceeds, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;
(E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to any Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(F) Lender shall be satisfied that Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases, (3) such time as may be required under all applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the applicable Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii);
(G) the applicable Property and the use thereof after Restoration will be in compliance in all material respects with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(H) Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the applicable Property or the related Improvements;
(J) the Debt Yield for the Properties, after giving effect to Restoration, shall be at least fifteen percent (15%);
42 |
(K) the Loan to Value Ratio after giving effect to Restoration, shall be equal to or less than sixty-five percent (65%);
(L) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion; and
(M) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent of Borrower are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of Restoration.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender for deposit in an interest-bearing account (the “Net Proceeds Account”) and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement, and except to the extent of any required Retention Amount) in connection with Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances) of any nature whatsoever on the applicable Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the Title Company.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender in its reasonable discretion and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with Restoration. The identity of the contractor engaged in Restoration, as well as the contracts under which it has been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender in its reasonable discretion and the Casualty Consultant. All out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the reasonable Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Retention Amount. The term “Retention Amount” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until Restoration has been completed. The Retention Amount shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in Restoration. The Retention Amount shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the applicable Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Retention Amount; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Retention Amount being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the Title Company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the related Security Instrument and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Retention Amount shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
43 |
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing.
(c) If Net Proceeds are (i) equal to or greater than thirty percent (30%) of the original principal amount of the Loan, (ii) not required to be made available for Restoration (due to Borrower’s inability to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i)), or (iii) not to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii), then in any such event all Net Proceeds may be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof toward reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole and absolute discretion shall deem proper, or, in the sole discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its sole and absolute discretion. No prepayment charge (including the Yield Maintenance Premium ) shall be payable by Borrower by reason of a Casualty or Condemnation (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Exit Fee shall be payable).
(d) In the event of foreclosure of any Security Instrument, or other transfer of title to any Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning such Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than $5,000 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account is less than $5,000, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made) and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2.

Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other Persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.1.2(c).
(d) If a disbursement will exceed $25,000.00, Lender may require an inspection of the applicable Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a disbursement of Required Repairs Funds in order to verify completion of the Required Repairs for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and may require a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional architect acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of Required Repairs Funds. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional architect.

In making any payment to Borrower relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds, Lender may require evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, including copies any cancelled checks, and any xxxx or statement from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes). Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the applicable Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes or Insurance Premiums by the due dates thereof, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes or Insurance Premiums.

8.1.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time (including, without limitation, Lender may accelerate the Loan and declare the Outstanding Principal Balance and all other amounts under the Loan Documents due and payable and institute foreclosure proceedings), whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. To the fullest extent permitted by law or equity, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against each Property and each Security Instrument has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Obligations have been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Properties, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of any Property, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose any Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by each Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose any Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose any Security Instrument to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by each Security Instrument as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, each Property shall remain subject to the applicable Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by such Security Instrument and not previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose any Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by each Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, including the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and/or interest, Lender may foreclose any Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose any Security Instrument to recover so much of the Debt as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by each Security Instrument as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, each Property shall remain subject to the applicable Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by such Security Instrument and not previously recovered.
(d) To the fullest possible extent permitted by applicable law or equity, any amounts recovered from each Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole and absolute discretion shall determine.
(e) If an Event of Default exists, Lender may (directly or by its agents, employees, contractors, engineers, architects, nominees, attorneys or other representatives), but without any obligation to do so and without notice to Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, cure the Event of Default in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Subject to Tenants’ rights under the Leases, Lender (and its agents, employees, contractors, engineers, architects, nominees, attorneys or other representatives) are authorized to enter upon each Property to cure such Event of Default, and Lender is authorized to appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding reasonably necessary to maintain, secure or otherwise protect each Property or the priority of the Lien granted by each Security Instrument.
49 |
(f) Lender may appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to any Property and may bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in each Property. Lender shall, at its option, be subrogated to the Lien of any mortgage or other security instrument discharged in whole or in part by the Obligations, and any such subrogation rights shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Obligations.
(g) As used in this Section 8.1.2, a “foreclosure” shall include, without limitation, a power of sale.
8.1.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

Section 10.29 Borrower’s Waiver. Borrower hereby waives all of its rights under any applicable law which substantially provides as follows: “(a) The acceptance, by a creditor, of anything in partial satisfaction of an obligation, reduces the obligation of a surety thereof, in the same measure as that of the principal, but does not otherwise affect it. However, if the surety is liable upon only a portion of an obligation and the principal provides partial satisfaction of the obligation, the principal may designate the portion of the obligation that is to be satisfied; and (b) an agreement by a creditor to accept from the principal debtor a sum less than the balance owed on the original obligation, without the prior consent of the surety and without any other change to the underlying agreement between the creditor and principal debtor, shall not exonerate the surety for the lesser sum agreed upon by the creditor and principal debtor.”
