Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender hereby agrees to make and Borrower hereby agrees to accept the Loan on the Closing Date.
2.1.2
Single Disbursement to Borrower.
Borrower may request and receive only one (1) borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Loan has been fully funded as of the Closing Date.
2.1.3
The Note, Mortgage and Loan Documents.
The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

2.2.2
Interest Calculation.
Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant Accrual Period by (b) a daily rate based on the Interest Rate and a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.
2.2.3
Default Rate.
In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
27
2.2.4
Usury Savings.
This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder.

Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its businesses and operations. Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own the Property and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the sole business of Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of the Property. The ownership interests in Borrower are as set forth on the organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule III.
4.1.2
Proceedings.
Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and such other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to
33
enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
4.1.3
No Conflicts.
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of the Property or Borrower’s assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.1.4
Litigation.
There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Borrower, Guarantor, Principal or the Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower, Guarantor, Principal or the Property, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower, Guarantor, Principal or the condition or ownership of the Property.
4.1.5
Agreements.
Except for those instruments and agreements set forth as Permitted Exceptions in the Title Insurance Policy, Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. To Borrower’s knowledge, 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 the Property is bound. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound (including, but not limited to, the Purchase Agreement), other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (xxiii) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents. Any earn-out payments required to be made to Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement shall be made by IDIV, and shall not be the obligation of Borrower and shall not be secured by the Property.
4.1.6
Title.
Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, the Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. The Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records,
34
together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. To Borrower’s actual knowledge after due inquiry, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
4.1.7
Solvency.
Borrower has (a) not entered into this transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, 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, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt 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 obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, any Guarantor, Affiliate Manager or any shareholder, partner, member, non-member manager (other than any Independent Director), or any other owner of a direct interest in Borrower in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower nor, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, any Guarantor, Affiliate Manager or any shareholder, partner, member, non-member manager (other than any Independent Director), or any other owner of a direct interest in Borrower in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, any Guarantor, Affiliate Manager or any shareholder, partner, member, non-member manager (other than any Independent Director), or any other owner of a direct interest in Borrower are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or property, and to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no Guarantor, Affiliate Manager or any shareholder, partner, member, non-member manager (other than any Independent Director), or any other owner of a direct interest in Borrower contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such Guarantor, Affiliate Manager or any shareholder, partner, member, non-member manager (other than any Independent Director), or any other direct legal or beneficial owner of Borrower.
4.1.8
Full and Accurate Disclosure.
To Borrower’s knowledge, no statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements
35
contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
4.1.9
No Plan Assets.
Borrower does not sponsor, is not obligated to contribute to, and is not itself an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to any state or other statute , regulation or other restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including but not limited to the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Loan Documents.
4.1.10
Compliance.
Except as disclosed in the zoning information delivered to Lender in connection with the origination of the Loan (but only to the extent that Borrower has no actual knowledge after due inquiry of any inconsistencies contained therein), Borrower and the Property and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes. Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by Borrower or, to Borrower’s actual knowledge after due inquiry, any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property any act or omission affording the federal government or any other Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. To Borrower’s actual knowledge after due inquiry, the Improvements at the Property were in material compliance with applicable law on the Closing Date.

Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Property or the operation thereof as retail property, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of
36

The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower or Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and neither Borrower nor Guarantor has asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.
4.1.19

ARTICLE V - BORROWER COVENANTS
Section 5.1
Affirmative Covenants.
From the date hereof and until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Property (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:
5.1.1
Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements.
Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and the Property, including, without limitation, building and zoning codes and certificates of occupancy. There shall never be committed by Borrower, and Borrower shall never permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property to commit any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep the Property in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Loan Documents. Borrower shall keep the Property insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in this Agreement. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower or the Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (i) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (ii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iii) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (iv) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower or the Property; and (v) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
5.1.2
Taxes and Other Charges.
Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part
43
thereof as the same become due and payable; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower escrows taxes in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof. Borrower will deliver to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent no later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would otherwise be delinquent if not paid (provided, however, Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof). If Borrower pays or causes to be paid all Taxes and Other Charges and provides a copy of the receipt evidencing the payment thereof to Lender, then Lender shall reimburse Borrower provided that there are then sufficient proceeds in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Upon written request of Borrower, if Lender has paid such Taxes pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, Lender shall provide Borrower with evidence that such Taxes have been paid. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property, and shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to the Property. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i) [intentionally omitted]; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the Property; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon. Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the Property (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any danger of the Lien of the Mortgage being primed by any related Lien.
5.1.3

Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by
53
Tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and Lender may apply such security from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such alterations.

If Borrower shall receive any consideration in connection with any of said described transfers or conveyances, Borrower shall have the right to use any such proceeds in connection with any alterations performed in connection therewith, or required thereby, provided, however, to the extent any such proceeds are not used in connection with alterations (or any such proceeds exceeds the amount required to perform the related alterations), Borrower shall immediately deposit such amount or the remainder thereof, as the case may be, into the Lockbox Account.
(l)
Except as set forth herein, no sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer all or any part of the Property, shall be permitted during the term of the Loan without Lender’s prior written approval. Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon Borrower’s sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Property without Lender’s consent if such consent is required herein. This provision shall apply to every sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Property regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has consented to any previous sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Property.
(m)
Lender’s consent to any sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Property shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Lender’s right to require such consent in the future. Any sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Property made in contravention of this Section shall be null and void and of no force or effect.
(n)
Borrower agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse Lender on demand for all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, Lender’s actual out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements, title search costs, rating agency fees and title insurance endorsement premiums) incurred by Lender in connection with the review, approval or disapproval, and documentation of any such sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer; provided, however, that Borrower is not obligated to pay any administrative fee, processing fee or other similar fee unless any such fee is specifically set forth elsewhere in this Section 5.2.10.

The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied in Lender’s sole discretion to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligation to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;
(iv)
at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance otherwise known as “Owner Contractor’s Protective Liability,” covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co insurance provisions;

the insurance required under this Section 6.1(a) shall cover perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism (including, without limitation, domestic, foreign, certified and uncertified as set forth in TRIA) and Borrower shall maintain insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism on terms (including amounts) consistent with those required under this Sections 6.1(a) at all times during the term of the Loan; and
(x)

(b)
All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) above 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 rating of “A:X” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports and a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P. The Policies described in Section 6.1 (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c)
Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the 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 the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) hereof.
(d)
All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(vii), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e)
All Policies 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;

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 Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(g)
Intentionally omitted.
Section 6.2
Casualty.
If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof as nearly as possible to the condition the 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 hereof (a “Restoration”). 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 any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve the final settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Relevant Restoration Threshold 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 for the Condemnation of the Property 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 it 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 pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced
67
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 Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any portion of the Property is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof. If the 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3, and Section 6.4 hereof, if the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Mortgage in connection with a Condemnation (but taking into account any proposed Restoration on the remaining portion of the Property), the Loan to Value Ratio is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by the least of the following amounts: (i) the net Condemnation Proceeds, (ii) the fair market value of the released property at the time of the release, or (iii) an amount such that the Loan to Value Ratio (as so determined by Lender) does not increase after the release, unless the Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Mortgage.
Section 6.4
Restoration.
The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:
(a)
If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Relevant Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Relevant Restoration Threshold, 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) hereof are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b)
If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Relevant Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than the Relevant Restoration Threshold, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (1) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 (a)(i), (iv), (ix) and (x) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (2) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
68
(i)
The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(A)
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B)
(1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, and (x) less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (y) Borrower is required under a Lease exceeding the Relevant Leasing Threshold to use the Net Proceeds for the Restoration of the Property, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, and (x) less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land, or (y) Borrower is required under a Lease exceeding the Relevant Leasing Threshold to use the Net Proceeds for the Restoration of the Property;
(C)
Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than the Rentable Space Percentage of the total rentable space in the 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 the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and Borrower and/or Tenant, as applicable under the respective Lease, will make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto at their sole cost and expense. The term “Rentable Space Percentage” shall mean (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to fifty percent (50%) and (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to fifty percent (50%);
(D)
Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, 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 the 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) hereof, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(F)
Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (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
69
to repair and restore the 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)(ii) hereof;
(G)
the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(H)
the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(I)
such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements;
(J)
the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Property, after giving effect to the Restoration, based on the trailing six (6) month period immediately preceding the date of determination, shall be equal to or greater than 1.60 to 1.0 (assuming amortization);
(K)
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 the Restoration, which budget should be consistent with restoration budgets of similar retail properties then owned and operated by nationally recognized owners and operators of retail properties located in the areas in which the Property is located; and
(L)
the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.
(ii)
The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing Eligible Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the 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) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the 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 issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(iii)
All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”), such
70
review and acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and approval by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, such review and acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv)
In no event shall 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 the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to 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 Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v)
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 reasonable 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
71
Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the 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 the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents.
(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 the 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 the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be deposited in the Cash Management Account to be disbursed in accordance with this Agreement, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c)
All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) hereof may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof, whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper (provided no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall not be required to pay any yield maintenance in connection with such payment), or, at the 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 discretion.
(d)
Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.4(a), (b) or (c) above, if immediately after giving effect to the release of portion of the Property taken through Condemnation, the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Property, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion using any commercially reasonable valuation method, exceeds 125%, all Condemnation Proceeds shall be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof, whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper.
(e)
In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the 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 the 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.
(f)
Lender shall with reasonable promptness following any Casualty or Condemnation notify Borrower whether or not Net Proceeds are required to be made available to Borrower for Restoration pursuant to this Section 6.4. All Net Proceeds not required to be made available for Restoration shall be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.2(a) hereof (a “Net Proceeds Prepayment”). If such Net Proceeds Prepayment with respect to any Casualty or Condemnation shall be equal to or greater than sixty percent (60%) of the
72
original amount of the Note, Borrower shall have the right to elect to prepay the Loan in whole, but not in part (a “Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”) in accordance with Section 2.4.2(b) hereof upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) within thirty (30) days following the proposed date of the intended Net Proceeds Prepayment, Borrower shall provide Lender with written notice of Borrower’s intention to prepay the Loan less the amount of the Net Proceeds Prepayment, (ii) Borrower shall prepay the Loan in accordance with Section 2.4.2(b) hereof on or before the second Payment Date (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day) occurring following the proposed date of the intended Net Proceeds Prepayment, and (iii) no Event of Default shall exist on the date of such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 to the contrary, Borrower shall not have any obligation to commence Restoration of the Property upon delivery of the written notice set forth in clause (i) of the preceding sentence (unless Borrower subsequently shall fail to satisfy the requirement of clause (ii) of the preceding sentence).

With respect to Required Repairs set forth on Schedule II that are designated as “life and safety repairs” (whether the responsibility of Borrower, Seller, a Tenant or any other person) (collectively, the “Life and Safety Repairs”), Borrower shall deposit with Lender on the date hereof the amount set forth on Schedule II. Borrower shall repair the Required Repairs set forth on Schedule II (or cause such repairs to be performed by Seller or otherwise) that are not designated as “life and safety repairs” and are the responsibility of Seller or Tenant and either (x) have been deemed likely to cause a material adverse effect upon Borrower or the Property, as determined by Lender, or (y) relate to a violation of applicable law or regulation applicable to Borrower or the Property (collectively, the “Non-Life and Safety Repairs”). Borrower shall complete, or cause to be completed by Seller or otherwise, the Non-Life and Safety Repairs within six (6) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, if Borrower is diligently pursuing completion of the Non-Life and Safety Repairs, Lender shall extend such six (6) month period for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower to complete (or cause to be completed by Seller or otherwise) the Non-Life and Safety Repairs, such extension period not to exceed an additional six (6) months. If Borrower has not delivered to Lender, on or before the date that is six (6) months from the Closing Date (or, if Borrower is diligently pursuing completion of the Non-Life and Safety Repairs and Lender has granted an extension pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, on or before the date that is twelve (12) months from the Closing Date), photographic evidence and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Non-Life and Safety Repairs have been completed, Borrower shall immediately deposit with Lender the amount for the Non-Life and Safety Repairs set forth on such Schedule II hereto. Amounts deposited with Lender under this Section 7.1.1 shall be held by Lender in accordance with Section 7.6 hereof and disbursed in accordance with Section 7.1.2 hereof. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall
73
hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Account”. Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and apply such funds to completion of the Required Repairs. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 7.2
Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.
Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date an initial deposit and (b) on each Payment Date thereafter (i) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (ii) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the
74
coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Tax and Insurance Escrow Account”). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof; provided, however, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to pay such real property taxes sufficiently early to obtain the benefit of any available discounts to which it has knowledge. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and shall at Lender’s option be held in Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, 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 and Other Charges and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinbefore contained, Lender shall waive the requirement set forth herein for Borrower to make deposits for the payment of Insurance Premiums into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund so long as (a) no Event of Default then exists, and (b) Borrower shall have provided Lender with satisfactory evidence (as determined by Lender) that the Property is insured in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement pursuant to a blanket insurance Policy covering substantially all real property owned directly or indirectly by Guarantor, including, without limitation, the Property.
Further notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinbefore contained, Lender shall waive the requirement set forth herein for Borrower to make deposits for the payment of Taxes into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund so long as (a) no Event of Default exists, (b) Borrower provides to Lender, at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which such Taxes would be delinquent, evidence satisfactory (as determined by Lender) that such Taxes have been paid, and (c) a DSCR Tax Escrow Trigger Event shall not have occurred.

75
Lender for tenant improvement and leasing commission obligations incurred following such date. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Rollover Reserve Fund” and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Rollover Reserve Account”. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the aggregate amount of the Rollover Reserve Fund shall not exceed $321,000.00 in the aggregate (the “Rollover Reserve Cap”) on any Payment Date (after giving effect to the payment of the Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit) and accordingly, to the extent a Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit would result in the aggregate amount of Rollover Reserve Funds in the Rollover Reserve Account to exceed the Rollover Reserve Cap, such Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be decreased by an amount equal to such excess.
7.4.2
Withdrawal of Rollover Reserve Funds.
Provided no Event of Default exists, Lender shall make disbursements from the Rollover Reserve Account for tenant improvement and leasing commission obligations incurred by Borrower. All such expenses shall be approved by Lender in its sole discretion. Lender shall make disbursements as requested by Borrower on a quarterly basis in increments of no less than $5,000.00 upon delivery by Borrower of a draw request accompanied by copies of paid invoices for the amounts requested and, if required by Lender, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment.

(b)
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion. In addition, if an Event of Default shall exist, Borrower shall not be entitled to disbursements from any Reserve Fund.
76
(c)
The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.

(e)
Neither Lender nor Lender’s Servicer shall be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds unless occasioned by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender and/or Lender’s Servicer, as applicable. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and Servicer and hold Lender and Servicer harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established unless occasioned by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender and/or Lender’s Servicer, as applicable, provided, however, it being acknowledged and agreed that any default in the payment under a Permitted Investment shall not constitute the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender and/or Lender’s Servicer. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

The required monthly deposits into the Reserve Funds and the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender.
(g)
Any amount remaining in the Reserve Funds after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.

Remedies.
(a)
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Property. 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 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b)
With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
80
(c)
Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender following the occurrence of an Event of Default as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

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.
ARTICLE IX - SPECIAL PROVISIONS

Securitization.
9.1.1
Sale of Notes and Securitization.
(a)
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and
81
the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”).
(b)
At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by or on behalf of Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by Lender or take other actions reasonably required by Lender, in each case in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization. Lender shall have the right to provide to prospective investors and the Rating Agencies any information in its possession, including, without limitation, financial statements relating to Borrower, Guarantors, if any, Mezzanine Borrower, if any, the Property and any Tenant of the Improvements. Borrower acknowledges that certain information regarding the Loan and the parties thereto and the Property may be included in a private placement memorandum, prospectus or other disclosure documents (the “Disclosure Documents”). Borrower agrees that each of Borrower, Principal, Guarantor, and their respective officers and representatives, shall, at Lender’s request, at its sole cost and expense, cooperate with Lender’s efforts to arrange for a Securitization in accordance with the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres and/or which may be required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization. Borrower, Principal, Guarantor and Mezzanine Borrower, if any, agree to review, at Lender’s request in connection with the Securitization, the Disclosure Documents as such Disclosure Documents relate to Borrower, Principal, Guarantor, the Mezzanine Borrower, if any, the Property and the Loan, including without limitation, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgage,” “Description of the Mortgage Loan and Mortgaged Property,” “The Manager,” “The Borrower,” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan,” and at Lender’s request shall confirm that the factual statements and representations contained in such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to, or is based on, or includes any information regarding the Property, Borrower, Guarantor, the Mezzanine Borrower, if any, Manager and/or the Loan) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(c)
Borrower agrees to make upon Lender’s written request, without limitation, all structural or other changes to the Loan (including delivery of one or more new component notes to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan and such new notes or modified note may have different interest rates and amortization schedules), modifications to any documents evidencing or securing the Loan, creation of one or more mezzanine loans (including amending Borrower’s organizational structure to provide for one or more mezzanine borrowers), delivery of opinions of counsel acceptable to the Rating Agencies or potential investors and addressing such matters as the Rating Agencies or potential investors may require; provided, however, that in creating such new notes or modified notes or mezzanine notes Borrower shall not be required to modify (i) the overall interest rate of the Note at the time of the creation of such new notes or modified notes or mezzanine notes (i.e. the initial weighted average interest rate payable under such new notes or modified notes or mezzanine notes shall equal the Interest Rate), (ii) the stated maturity of the Note, (iii) the aggregate amortization of principal of the Note, (iv) any other material economic term of the Loan, or (v)
82
decrease the time periods during which Borrower is permitted to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding Lender’s agreement that the initial weighted average interest rate payable under the Note shall not change, Borrower acknowledges (1) that such new notes or modified notes or mezzanine notes may, in connection with the application of principal to such new notes or modified note, subsequently cause the weighted average coupon of such new notes or modified notes or mezzanine notes to change, and (2) that Lender may apply principal, interest rates and amortization of the Loan between such new components in a manner specified by Lender in its sole discretion such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum bond execution for the Loan. In connection with the foregoing, Borrower covenants and agrees to modify the Cash Management Agreement to reflect the newly created components and/or mezzanine loans.
(d)
Intentionally omitted.
(e)
If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with any financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall determine to be required pursuant to Regulation AB under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements in connection with any private placement memorandum, prospectus or other disclosure documents or any filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with the Securitization or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender.

failure by Borrower to obtain a release of the Memorandum of Development Agreement from Home Depot.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower (i) in the event of: (a) Borrower or Principal filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) the filing of an involuntary petition against Borrower or Principal under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law in which Borrower, Principal or Guarantor colludes with, or otherwise assists such Person, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower or Principal from any Person; (c) Borrower or Principal filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (d) Borrower or Principal consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or Principal or any portion of the Property; (e) Borrower or Principal making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting in writing in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; (ii) if the first full monthly payment under the Note not being paid within five (5) days of notice that such payment is late (provided, however, that such grace period relates only to the recourse trigger described in this paragraph); (iii) if Borrower fails to permit on-site inspections of the Property (subject to the rights of tenants), or fails to provide financial information subject to any applicable cure period (except for financial information required to be delivered by a tenant pursuant to the applicable Lease that has not been delivered to Borrower, provided Borrower has requested such financial information from such tenant); (iv) if Borrower fails to maintain its status as a Special Purpose Entity, breaches any representation or fails to comply with any warranty or covenant set forth in Section 4.1.30 hereof; (v) if Borrower or any Principal fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent (to extent such consent is required) to any Indebtedness or other voluntary Lien; or (vi) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent (to extent such consent is required) to any Transfer as required by this Agreement or the Mortgage. Notwithstanding the provision set forth in clause (v) of this paragraph, a voluntary Lien other than a Lien securing an extension of credit filed against the Property shall not constitute a full recourse trigger for purposes of this paragraph provided such Lien (A) is fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record within ninety (90) days of filing, or (B) within such ninety (90) day period, Lender receives affirmative title insurance from the title insurance company insuring the lien of the Mortgage that such Lien is subject and subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage and no enforcement action is commenced by the applicable Lien holder. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the recourse trigger described in clause (v) above, or the acceptance by Lender of any cure by
85
Borrower of a recourse trigger described in clauses (ii), (iii) or (vi) above (which Lender is not obligated to accept and may reject or accept in its sole and absolute discretion), the Debt shall no longer be fully recourse to Borrower solely as a result of such trigger, provided, however, Borrower shall remain liable to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with such trigger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that any natural person serving as an Independent Director has agreed in writing that it is not, and will not become, a stockholder in Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate, the disqualification of such person from serving as an Independent Director because (1) such person became a stockholder in Guarantor or any publicly held Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor without the knowledge or consent of Borrower, Guarantor or the applicable Affiliate, or (2) a member of such natural person’s immediate family is, or became, a stockholder in Guarantor or any publicly traded Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor without the knowledge or consent of Borrower, Guarantor or the applicable Affiliate, shall not trigger recourse under this Section 9.3 provided Borrower, upon obtaining knowledge of such person’s ineligibility to serve as an Independent Director, promptly causes such person to resign and replaces such person with an eligible Independent Director in accordance with the terms hereof.
Section 9.4
Matters Concerning Manager.
If (a) an Event of Default hereunder has occurred and remains uncured, (b) Manager shall become subject to a Bankruptcy Action, or (c) a default occurs under the Management Agreement (beyond any applicable cure period), Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a Qualified Manager pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such Qualified Manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates. In addition and without limiting the rights of Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, in the event that (i) the Management Agreement is terminated, (ii) the Manager no longer manages the Property, or (iii) a receiver, liquidator or trustee shall be appointed for Manager or if Manager shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in by, Manager, or if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Manager shall be instituted, then Borrower (at Borrower’s sole cost and expense) shall immediately, in its name, establish new deposit accounts separate from any other Person with a depository satisfactory to Lender into which all Rents and other income from the Property shall be deposited and shall grant Lender a first priority security interest in such account pursuant to documentation satisfactory in form and substance to Lender.
Section 9.5
Servicer.
At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer and/or trustee (any such master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer, and trustee, together with its agents, nominees or designees, are collectively referred to as “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Servicer pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, servicing agreement, special servicing agreement or other agreement providing for the servicing of one or more mortgage loans (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall promptly reimburse Lender on demand for the following costs and expenses payable by Lender to Servicer as a result of the Loan becoming specially serviced: (i) any
86
liquidation fees that are due and payable to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement in connection with the exercise of any or all remedies permitted under this Agreement, (ii) any workout fees and special servicing fees that are due and payable to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, which fees may be due and payable under the Servicing Agreement on a periodic or continuing basis, and (iii) the costs of all property inspections and/or appraisals of the Property (or any updates to any existing inspection or appraisal) that Servicer may be required to obtain (other than the cost of regular annual inspections required to be borne by Servicer under the Servicing Agreement). Provided no Event of Default shall exist, if Servicer proposes to transfer the servicing of the Loan to a Servicer that is a special servicer based on Servicer’s judgment that a Default in the payment of Debt Service is reasonably foreseeable, Servicer shall use good faith efforts to consult with Borrower before transferring the servicing of the Loan, except in those instances in which Servicer determines in its sole discretion that the failure to so transfer the servicing of the Loan would materially and adversely affect the holders of the Securities, and Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any such consultation shall be conducted on a non-binding basis and any decision by Servicer to transfer the Loan to a special servicer shall be final and binding on, and shall not be subject to challenge by, Borrower.
