Section
2.1 The
Loan. Lender
is making a loan (the "Loan")
to
Borrower on the date
hereof, in the original principal amount (the "Principal")
of
S285,000,000.00 which shall mature on the Stated Maturity Date. Borrower
acknowledges receipt of the Loan, the proceeds
of which are being and shall be used to (i) acquire the Property, (ii) fund
certain of the
Subaccounts, and (iii) pay transaction costs. Any excess proceeds may be used
for any lawful purpose. No amount repaid in respect of the Loan may be
reborrowed.
Section
2.2 Interest;
Monthly Payments.
2.2.1
Generally. From and
after the date hereof, interest on the unpaid Principal shall accrue at the
Interest Rate and be payable as hereinafter provided. On the date hereof,
Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid Principal from the date hereof through
and including April 5, 2005. On May 6, 2005 and each Payment Date thereafter
through and including the Maturity Date, the interest on the Principal at the
Interest Rate shall be payable in monthly installments (each such installment,
the "Monthly
Debt Service Payment Amount"). The
Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due on any Payment Date shall be applied to
the
21
payment
of interest accrued during the preceding Interest Period. All accrued and unpaid
interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. If the Loan is repaid on
any date other than on a Payment Date (whether prior to or after the Stated
Maturity Date), Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on such
repaid Principal to but not including the next Payment Date.
2.2.2
Default
Rate. After
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the entire
unpaid Debt shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and shall be payable,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, within ten (10) days after the date
Lender makes
written demand therefor.
2.2.3
Taxes. Any and
all payments by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all
present or future
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities
with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Lender's income, and franchise
and other similar taxes imposed on Lender by the law or regulation of any
Governmental Authority (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to
in this Section 2.2.3 as "Applicable
Taxes"). If
Borrower shall be required
by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder to
Lender, the following shall apply: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may
be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.2.3), Lender receives
an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been
made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the
full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable law. Payments pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 shall be
made within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand
therefor.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Loan is transferred to a transferee which is organized
under the laws
of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any state
thereof, the transferor shall cause such transferee, concurrently with the
effectiveness of such transfer, to furnish to the transferor and Borrower either
a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN,
United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or United States Internal
Revenue Service
Form W-8IMY (wherein such transferee claims entitlement to complete exemption
from United
States federal withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder); provided,
however, that in the event that the transferor fails to cause the transferee to
furnish either such Form, Borrower
shall deduct any Applicable Taxes to the extent required by law and payments
shall be made net
of any Applicable Taxes without regard to the provisions of clause (i) of the
second sentence of this Section 2.2.3.
2.2.4
New
Payment Date. Lender
shall have the right, to be exercised not more than once during the term of the
Loan, to change the Payment Date to a date later than the sixth day of each
month (a "New
Payment Date"), on 30
days' written notice to Borrower; provided, however, that any
such change in the Payment Date: (i) shall not modify the amount of
regularly
scheduled monthly principal (if any) and interest payments, except that the
first payment of principal (if any) and interest payable on the New Payment Date
shall be accompanied by interest at the interest rate herein provided for the
period from the Payment Date in the month in which the New Payment Date first
occurs to the New Payment Date, and (ii) shall extend the
22
Stated
Maturity Date to the New Payment Date occurring in the month set forth in the
definition of
Stated Maturity Date.
Section
2.3 Loan
Repayment.
2.3.1
Repayment. Borrower
shall repay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Notes in full on the
Maturity Date, together with interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of
repayment and any other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents. Borrower
shall have no right to prepay or defease all or any portion of the Principal
except in accordance with Section 2.3.2, Section 2.3.3 and Section 2.4 below.
Except during the continuance of an Event of
Default, all proceeds of any repayment, including any prepayments of the Loan,
shall be applied
by Lender as follows in the following order of priority: First,
accrued
and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate; second,
to
Principal; and third,
to and
any other amounts then due and owing under the Loan Documents; provided,
however, as between the allocation of the foregoing application of payments
between Note A-I and Note A-2, such allocation shall be made by Lender in such
manner as Lender shall elect in Lender's discretion.. If prior to the Stated
Maturity Date the Debt is accelerated by reason of an Event of Default, then
Lender shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the unpaid Principal and
accrued interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to
the Yield Maintenance Premium applicable to such Principal so accelerated.
During the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment,
including any payment or recovery on the Property (whether through foreclosure,
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise provided in
the Loan Documents, be applied in such order and in such manner as Lender shall
elect in Lender's discretion.
2.3.2
Mandatory
Prepayments. The Loan
is subject to mandatory prepayment in certain instances of Insured Casualty or
Condemnation (each, a "Casualty/Condemnation
Prepayment"), in the
manner and to the extent set forth in Section 7.4.2. Each Casualty/Condemnation
Prepayment, after deducting Lender's costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with the settlement or collection of
the Proceeds or Award, shall be applied in the same manner as repayments under
Section 2.3.1, and if such Casualty/Condemnation Payment is made on any date
other than a Payment Date, then such Casualty/Condemnation Payment shall include
interest that would have accrued on the Principal prepaid to but not including
the next Payment Date. Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, any such
mandatory prepayment under this Section 2.3.2 shall be without the payment of
the Yield Maintenance Premium. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall be applied in
inverse order of maturity
and shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the monthly installments due
under the Note or
this Agreement, or change the amounts of such installments.
2.3.3
Defeasance
(a) Conditions
to Defeasance. Provided
no Event of Default shall be continuing, Borrower
shall have the right on any Payment Date after the Lockout Release Date and
prior to the
Permitted Prepayment Date to voluntarily defease the entire amount of the
Principal and obtain a release of the Lien of the Mortgage and a release of
Borrower's and Guarantor's obligations under the other Loan Documents and the
Master Lease (other than (i) those
23
obligations
which are expressly stated to survive the payment in full of the Loan and (ii)
the Security
Agreement) by providing Lender with the Defeasance Collateral (a
"Defeasance
Event"), subject
to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
(1) Borrower
shall give Lender not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice
specifying
a Payment Date (the "Defeasance
Date") on which
the Defeasance Event is expected to
occur.
(2) Borrower
shall pay to Lender (A) all payments of interest due on the Loan to and
including the Defeasance Date and (B) all other sums, then due under the Notes,
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(3) Borrower
shall deposit the Defeasance Collateral into the Defeasance Collateral
Account and otherwise comply with the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) of
this Section
2.3.3;
(4) Borrower
shall execute and deliver to Lender a Security Agreement in respect of the
Defeasance Collateral Account and the Defeasance Collateral;
(5) Borrower
shall deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel for Borrower that is standard in
commercial lending transactions and subject only to customary qualifications,
assumptions and exceptions opining to the effect that, among other things, that
(i) Lender has a legal and valid perfected security interest in the Defeasance
Collateral Account and the Defeasance Collateral, (ii) if a securitization has
occurred, the REMIC Trust formed pursuant to such securitization will not fail
to maintain its status as a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" within the
meaning of Section 860D of the Code solely as a result of a Defeasance Event
pursuant to this Section 2.3.3, (iii) the Defeasance Event will not result in a
significant modification and will not be an exchange of the Note for purposes of
Section 1001 of the Code and the
Treasury Regulations thereunder, (iv) delivery of the Defeasance Collateral and
the grant of a
security interest therein to Lender shall not constitute an avoidable preference
under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable state law and (v) a
non-consolidation opinion with respect to the Successor Borrower (if
any);
(6) Borrower
shall deliver to Lender and the Rating Agencies a Rating Comfort Letter as to
the Defeasance Event;
(7) Borrower
shall deliver an Officer's Certificate certifying that the requirements set
forth in this Section 2.3.3 have been satisfied;
(8) Borrower
shall deliver an agreed upon procedures letter from a "big four" or other
nationally recognized public accounting firm that would be acceptable to a
prudent lender (or any other accounting firm that is reputable and experienced
in preparing such procedure letters and reports and would be reasonably
acceptable to a prudent lender) verifying that the Defeasance Collateral will
generate monthly amounts equal to or greater than the Scheduled Defeasance
Payments, (ii) the revenue from the Defeasance Collateral will be applied within
four months
of receipt towards payments of Debt Service, (iii) the securities that comprise
the Defeasance Collateral are not subject to prepayment, call or early
redemption and (iv) the interest income to Borrower (or the Successor Borrower,
if applicable) from the Defeasance
24
Collateral
will not in any tax year materially exceed the interest expense associated with
the defeased
Loan;
(9) Borrower
shall deliver such other certificates, opinions, documents and instruments as a
prudent lender may reasonably request; and
(10) Borrower
shall pay all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with the
Defeasance Event, including Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and
Rating Agency fees and expenses.
(b) Defeasance
Collateral Account. On or
before the date on which Borrower delivers
the Defeasance Collateral, Borrower shall open at any Eligible Institution the
defeasance
collateral account (the "Defeasance
Collateral Account")
which
shall at all times be an Eligible Account. The Defeasance Collateral Account
shall contain only (i) Defeasance Collateral, and (ii) cash from interest and
principal paid on the Defeasance Collateral. All cash from interest and
principal payments paid on the Defeasance Collateral shall be paid over to
Lender on each Payment Date and applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and
then to Principal. Any cash from interest and principal paid on the Defeasance
Collateral not needed to pay accrued and unpaid interest or Principal shall be
retained in the Defeasance Collateral Account as additional collateral for the
Loan. Borrower shall cause the Eligible Institution at which the Defeasance
Collateral
is deposited to enter an agreement with Borrower and Lender, satisfactory to
Lender in its sole
discretion, pursuant to which such Eligible Institution shall agree to hold and
distribute the Defeasance Collateral in accordance with this Agreement. The
Borrower or the Successor Borrower shall be the owner of the Defeasance
Collateral Account and shall report all income accrued on Defeasance Collateral
for federal, state and local income tax purposes in its income tax return to the
extent required by law. Borrower shall pay
all costs
and expenses associated with opening and maintaining the Defeasance Collateral
Account. Neither Borrower (provided that a Successor Borrower has assumed the
Loan) nor Lender shall in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in
the Defeasance Collateral Account.
(c) Successor
Borrower. In
connection with a Defeasance Event under this Section 2.3.3, Borrower shall, if
required by the Rating Agencies or if Borrower elect to do so, establish or
designate a successor entity (the "Successor
Borrower") which
shall be a Single Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity and which shall be approved
by the Rating Agencies. Any such Successor Borrower may, at Borrower's option,
be an Affiliate of Borrower unless the Rating Agencies shall require otherwise.
Borrower shall transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and
to the Note, together with the Defeasance Collateral to such Successor Borrower.
Such Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations under the Note and the
Security Agreement and Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations under the
Debt and the Loan
Documents (other than those obligations which are expressly stated to survive
the payment in full
of the Loan). Borrower shall pay a minimum of $1,000 to any such Successor
Borrower as
consideration for assuming the obligations under the Note and the Security
Agreement (unless such
requirement shall be waived by the applicable Rating Agencies). Borrower shall
pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including Lender's attorney's
fees and expenses, incurred in connection therewith.
25
2.3.4
Optional
Prepayments. From and
after the third Payment Date prior to the Stated Maturity Date (the "Permitted
Prepayment Date"), Borrower
shall have the right to prepay the Principal in whole but not in part, provided
that Borrower gives Lender at least 15 days' prior written notice thereof. If
any such prepayment is not made on a Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay
interest that would have accrued on such prepaid Principal to, but not
including, the next Payment Date. Any such prepayment shall be made without
payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.
2.3.5
Prepayments
After Default. If after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all
or any part of the principal of the Loan is tendered by Borrower, a purchaser at
foreclosure or any other Person, such tender shall be deemed an
attempt to circumvent the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section
2.3.1 and
Borrower, such purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall pay the Yield
Maintenance Premium, in addition to the outstanding principal balance, all
accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Loan
Documents.
Section
2.4 Release
of Property.
2.4.1
Release
on Defeasance. If
Borrower has elected to defease the Notes and the requirements of Section 2.3.3
and this Section 2.4 have been satisfied, the Property shall be released from
the Lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and the Defeasance
Collateral pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement shall be the sole source
of collateral securing the Notes. In connection with the release of the Lien,
Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less
than fifteen (15) days prior to the Defeasance Date (or such shorter time as is
acceptable to
Lender in its sole discretion), release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for
execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the
jurisdiction in which the Property is located. In addition, Borrower shall
provide all other documentation as a prudent lender would reasonably
require to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together
with an
Officer's Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance
with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such release in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. Borrower shall pay all costs, taxes and
expenses associated with the release of the Lien of the Mortgage and the other
Loan Documents, including Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees.
2.4.2
Release
on Payment in Full. Lender
shall, upon the written request and at the
expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of the Debt in accordance herewith,
release or, if
requested by Borrower, assign to Borrower's designee (without any representation
or warranty by and
without any recourse against Lender whatsoever), the Lien of the Loan Documents
if not
theretofore released.
Section
2.5 Payments
and Computations.
2.5.1
Making
of Payments. Each
payment by Borrower shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing
House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately
available to Lender by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date such payment
is due, to
Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to
Borrower. Whenever any such payment shall be stated to be due on a day that is
not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day
thereafter. All such payments shall
26
be made
irrespective of, and without any deduction, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever
and are payable
without relief from valuation and appraisement laws and with all costs and
charges incurred in the collection or enforcement thereof, including attorneys'
fees and court costs.
2.5.2
Computations. Interest
payable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.
2.5.3
Late
Payment Charge. If any
Principal, interest or other sum due under any Loan Document is not paid by
Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender (within
ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor) an amount
equal to the lesser of 5% of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by
applicable law (the "Late Payment Charge"), in order to defray the expense
incurred by Lender in handling and
processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the
use of such
delinquent payment. Such amount shall be secured by the Loan
Documents.
Section
2.6 Fees.
Origination
Fees. On the
date hereof, Borrower shall pay to Lender an origination fee of
$500,000.
ARTICLE
3
Section
3.1 Cash
Management Arrangements. Within
five (5) Business Days of the date hereof, Borrower shall deliver direction
letters to the non-residential tenants of the Property directing such tenants to
pay all Rents directly into an Eligible Account (the "Clearing
Account")
maintained
by Borrower at a local bank selected by Borrower, which shall at all
times be an
Eligible Institution (the "Clearing
Bank") as more
fully described in the Clearing Account
Agreement. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, all Rents received by
Borrower or Manager shall be deposited into the Clearing Account within one
Business Day of receipt. Funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be
swept by the Clearing Bank on a daily basis into the
Borrower's operating account at the Clearing Bank, unless a Cash Management
Period is
continuing, in which event such funds shall be swept on a daily basis into an
Eligible Account at the Deposit Bank controlled by Lender (the "Deposit
Account") and
applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement. Funds in the Deposit
Account shall be invested at Lender's discretion only in Permitted Investments.
Lender will also establish subaccounts of the Deposit Account
which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (and may be ledger or book entry
accounts and not
actual accounts) (such subaccounts are referred to herein as "subaccounts").
The
Deposit
Account and any Subaccount will be under the sole control and dominion of
Lender, and Borrower
shall have no right of withdrawal therefrom. Borrower shall pay for all expenses
of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts.
Section
3.2 Required
Repairs.
3.2.1
Completion
of Required Repairs. Borrower
shall perform and complete each item of the repairs and environmental remedial
work at the Property described in the
27
"Category
1 Immediate" column set forth on Schedule 1 (the "Required
Repairs") within
six (6) months of the date hereof or such shorter period of time for such item
set forth on Schedule 1.
3.2.2
Required
Repairs Reserves. Borrower
shall deposit with Lender on the date hereof the sum of $282,187 which shall be
held by Lender for Required Repairs and Lender shall cause such amount to be
transferred to a Subaccount (the "Required
Repairs Subaccount"). Lender
shall make disbursements from the Required Repairs Subaccount as requested by
Borrower, and approved by Lender in its sole discretion, no more frequently than
once in any thirty (30) day period of no less than $1,000.00 upon delivery by
Borrower of Lender's standard form of draw request accompanied by copies of
invoices for the amounts requested and, if required by Lender for requests in
excess of $100,000.00 for a single item, conditional lien waivers and releases
from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the
requested payment. Lender may issue joint checks payable to Borrower and the
contractor or other person to whom payment is due with respect to any requested
payment. Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower's expense
prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of repairs
of items in excess of $100,000.00 for which reimbursement or payment is sought.
Upon completion of Required Repairs, provided no Event of Default is then
continuing, Lender shall disburse to Borrower any and all funds remaining on
deposit in the Required Repairs Subaccount. Without limiting the foregoing,
Borrower agrees to promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion
within a commercially reasonable time period, the fire alarm system upgrade at
the Property (as more particularly described in the Purchase and Sale Agreement
for the Property).
Section
3.3 Taxes
and Insurance. Borrower
shall pay to Lender (i) (A) on the date hereof, an amount equal to $579,378 and
(B) on each Payment Date, one-twelfth of the Taxes
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 at least thirty
(30) days prior to their Delinquency Date, and (ii) (A) on the date hereof, an
amount equal to $107,736 (the "Initial
Blanket Insurance Premium Installment") and (B)
(1) for so long as the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing
Arrangement remains in full force and effect, on each Payment Date, the
Financing Installment for the next occurring payment under the applicable
Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement and/or (2) with respect to any
Insurance Premiums not covered by a Blanket Insurance Premium Financing
Arrangement, on each Payment Date, one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that
Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the 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 (i) and (ii) above
hereinafter called the "Tax and
Insurance Impound Fund"). Such
amounts will be transferred by Lender to a Subaccount (the "Tax and
Insurance Subaccount"). Lender
will apply the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance
Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 7.1 hereof
and/or to payments due to the applicable finance company under the applicable
Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, as applicable. In making any
payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Impound 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. If the amount of the Tax and
28
Insurance
Impound Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums
pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 7.1 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 Impound Fund. In allocating such excess, Lender
may deal with the person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the
Property. If at any time Lender determines that the Tax and Insurance Impound
Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay the items set forth in (i) and (ii)
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
delinquency of the Taxes and/or expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.
All earnings of interest on the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund shall become part
of the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund and shall be disbursed in accordance with
this Section 3.3. If Lender so elects at any time, Borrower shall provide, at
Borrower's expense, a tax service contract for the Term issued by a tax
reporting agency acceptable to Lender. If Lender does not so elect, Borrower
shall reimburse Lender for the cost of making annual tax searches throughout the
Term.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.3, with respect to the
Initial Blanket Insurance Premium Deposit, and the required monthly payments
required under clause (ii) above through the end of the current policy year, the
parties agree as follows: For the period from the
date hereof through August 1, 2005, the Property will be covered by a blanket
insurance policy
as described in Section 7.1.4, but instead of participating in the Blanket
Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, Borrower will
pay its
allocable share of the Insurance Premiums in a single installment, due
approximately 30 days after the date hereof. Borrower's allocable share of the
annual Insurance Premiums for the blanket policy for the period from the date
hereof through August 1, 2005 is the Initial Blanket Insurance Premium Deposit.
Borrower has deposited the Initial Blanket Insurance Premium Deposit in the Tax
and Insurance Impound Fund on the date hereof (as set forth in clause (ii)(A) in
the immediately preceding paragraph); Borrower will notify Lender in writing at
least ten (10) days in advance of the date when such Insurance Premium is due,
whereupon Lender will apply such amount to the payment of Borrower's allocable
share of the blanket policy Insurance Premium. On the Payment Dates in May, June
and July of 2005, Borrower will pay to Lender for deposit in the Tax and
Insurance Impound Fund the sum of $26,934 per month. On each Payment Date
commencing with the Payment Date occurring in August, 2005, Borrower shall make
payments into the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund as set forth in the preceding
paragraph.
Section
3.4 Rollover
Reserve/Rent Credit/Lease Buy-Out Subaccounts. Rollover
Reserve. Borrower
shall pay to Lender $3,700,000 on the date hereof, and Lender will transfer such
amount into a Subaccount (the "Rollover
Reserve Subaccount"). Borrower
shall also pay to Lender for transfer into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount all
Lease Termination Payments received by Borrower with respect to Material Leases;
provided,
however,
once Borrower has provided to Lender evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender
that the space under the Lease that was the subject of such Lease Termination
Payment has been re-tenanted and all Approved Leasing Expenses in connection
with such space have been paid, Lender shall (provided no Event of Default is
then continuing) disburse to Borrower any remaining portion of the subject Lease
Termination Payment. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount
to Borrower, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender
of a request therefor (but not
29
more
often than once per month), in increments of at least $5,000, provided (i)
such
disbursement
is for an Approved Leasing Expense; (ii) with respect to disbursements in excess
of $100,000, Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection
conducted at Borrower's expense) performance of any construction work associated
with such Approved Leasing Expense; and (iii) the request for disbursement is
accompanied by (A) an Officer's Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will
be used only to pay (or reimburse Borrower for) Approved Leasing Expenses and a
description thereof, (2) that all outstanding trade payables (other than those
to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted
Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (3) that the same has not been the subject
of a previous disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements have been
used only to pay (or reimburse Borrower for) the previously identified Approved
Leasing Expenses, and (B) reasonably detailed supporting documentation as to the
amount, necessity and purpose therefor. Any such disbursement of more than
$100,000 to pay (rather than reimburse) Approved Leasing Expenses may, at
Lender's option, be made by joint check payable to Borrower and the payee of
such Approved Leasing Expenses. Without limiting the provisions of this Section
3.4.1, Borrower agrees that it will pay for those tenant improvement allowances
set forth in Schedule
7 attached
hereto within the time period required for the same, and Borrower shall be
entitled to draw funds from the Rollover Reserve Subaccount for payment of the
same (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section
3.4.1).
3.4.2
Rent
Holdback Reserve. Borrower
shall pay to Lender $4,593,605 on the date hereof, and Lender will transfer such
amount into a Subaccount (the "Rent
Holdback Subaccount"). Funds in
the Rent Holdback Subaccount shall be allocated to simulate the full unabated
base rent payments for the Leases identified on Schedule
6 attached
hereto (i.e., the difference between the amount of rent currently being paid
under such Leases, and the full unabated amount of rent payable pursuant to the
terms of such Leases, after the expiration of all rent abatement periods set
forth in such Leases), as more particularly set forth on Schedule
6 with
respect to the breakdown and specific allocation of monthly rent holdback funds
allocated for each such Lease. Provided no Event of Default is continuing, on
each Payment Date set forth on Schedule
6, Lender
shall disburse funds held in the Rent Holdback Subaccount (in the amounts set
forth on Schedule
6 with
respect to each such Payment Date) (x) if no Cash Management Period is then
continuing, directly into the Clearing Account and (y) if a Cash Management
Period is then continuing, directly into the Deposit Account (i.e., at the "top
of the waterfall"), and shall be applied in accordance with the priority of
payments set forth in Section 3.9(a) (i.e., in the same manner as Rents that are
deposited into the Deposit Account on each Payment Date during the continuance
of a Cash Management Period).
3.4.3
Xxxxx
Fargo Bank Reserve. On the
date hereof, Borrower shall deposit the amount of $400,000 with Lender, and
Lender will transfer such amount into a Subaccount (the "Xxxxx
Fargo Bank Reserve Subaccount") as
security in connection with the alleged overcharges of "additional rent"
asserted by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association in the two tenant estoppel
certificates delivered by such tenant in connection with the Loan (collectively,
the "Xxxxx
Fargo Estoppel Letters"). Provided
that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse
the entirety of the funds held in the Xxxxx Fargo Reserve Subaccount to Borrower
upon delivery by Borrower to Lender of "clean" estoppel certificates addressed
to Lender from the Xxxxx Fargo Bank tenant in form and substance
reasonably
30
satisfactory
to Lender, which shall provide that the matters asserted by such tenant in the
Xxxxx Fargo
Estoppel Letters have been resolved to such tenant's satisfaction.
Section
3.5 Casualty/Condemnation
Subaccount. Borrower
shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Lender all Proceeds or Awards due to any
Casualty or Condemnation to be transferred to a Subaccount (the "Casualty/Condemnation
Subaccount") in
accordance with the provisions of Article 7. All amounts in the
Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount shall be disbursed in accordance with the
provisions of Article 7.
Section
3.6 Security
Deposits. Borrower
shall keep all security deposits actually paid to Borrower under Leases at a
separately designated account under Borrower's control at the Clearing Bank (and
in the case of a letter of credit received after the date hereof, assigned with
full power of attorney and executed sight drafts to Lender) so that the security
deposits shall not be commingled with any other funds of Borrower (such account,
the "Security
Deposit Account"). After the
occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, Borrower shall, upon
Lender's request, if permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, turn over to
Lender the security deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon) under
Leases, to be held by Lender in
a Subaccount (the "Security
Deposit Subaccount") subject
to the terms of the Leases. Security
deposits held in the Security Deposit Subaccount will be released by Lender upon
notice from
Borrower together with such evidence as Lender may reasonably request that such
security deposit is required to be returned to a tenant pursuant to the terms of
a Lease or may be applied as Rent pursuant to the rights of Borrower under the
applicable Lease. Any letter of credit or other instrument that Borrower
receives in lieu of a cash security deposit under any Lease entered into after
the date hereof shall (i) be maintained in full force and effect in the full
amount required by the applicable Lease unless replaced by a cash deposit as
hereinabove described and (ii) if permitted pursuant to any Legal Requirements,
name Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Lender's option, be fully
assignable to Lender).
Section
3.7 Cash
Collateral Subaccount. If a
Cash Management Period shall have commenced, then on the immediately succeeding
Payment Date and on each Payment Date thereafter during the continuance of such
Cash Management Period, all Available Cash shall be paid to Lender, which
amounts shall be transferred by Lender into a Subaccount (the "Cash
Collateral Subaccount") as cash
collateral for the Debt. Any funds in the Cash Collateral Account and not
previously disbursed or applied shall be disbursed to Borrower upon the
termination of such Cash Management Period. Lender shall have the right, but not
the obligation, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, in
its sole and absolute discretion to apply all sums then on deposit in the Cash
Collateral Subaccount to the Debt, in such order and in such manner as Lender
shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including to make a prepayment
of Principal (together which the applicable Yield Maintenance Premium applicable
thereto). Additionally, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at
any time subsequent to the second Calculation Date following the commencement of
a DSCR Cash Management Period (whether or not an Event of Default is then
continuing), in its sole and absolute discretion to apply all sums then on
deposit in the Cash Collateral Subaccount towards a partial Defeasance of the
Loan (together with any Defeasance costs associated therewith), and Borrower
shall execute such documents and take such other actions necessary to satisfy
the
31
Defeasance
requirements set forth in Section 2.3.3 hereof (to the extent applicable to a
partial
involuntary Defeasance).
Section
3.8 Grant
of Security Interest; Application of Funds. As
security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other
terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges
and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all
Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the Clearing Account, the Deposit
Account and all Subaccounts, all Rents and in and to all payments to or monies
held in the Clearing Account, the Deposit Account, and all Subaccounts created
pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the "Cash
Management Accounts"). Borrower
hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, and agrees to hold in
trust for the benefit of Lender, all Rents in its possession prior to the (i)
payment of such Rents to Lender or (ii) deposit of such Rents into the Deposit
Account until such Rents are released to Borrower from the Clearing Account
pursuant to this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. Borrower shall
not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge,
assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management Account, or permit
any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing
Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with
respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties
to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums in any
Cash Management Account in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect in
Lender's discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without
adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Mortgage
or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents. Cash Management Accounts
shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by
Lender. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the
direction of Borrower, Lender shall deposit the amounts held in the Cash
Management Accounts in Permitted Investments selected by Borrower. All
investment earnings which accrues on the funds in any Cash Management Account
shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to Borrower and
shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions
as the principal sum on which said interest accrued. Lender shall not be
responsible for any losses resulting from the investment of the Funds or for
obtaining any specific level or percentage of earnings on such investment. Upon
repayment in full of the Debt or defeasance of the Loan, all remaining funds in
the Cash Management Accounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to
Borrower.
Section
3.9 Property
Cash Flow Allocation. (a)
During any Cash Management Period, all Rents deposited into the Deposit Account
during the immediately preceding Interest Period shall be applied on each
Payment Date as follows in the following order of priority:
(i) First,
to make
payments into the Tax and Insurance Subaccount as required under Section
3.3;
(ii) Second,
to pay
the monthly portion of the fees charged by the Deposit Bank in accordance with
the Cash Management Agreement; (iii) Third,
to Lender
to pay
the
Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due on such Payment Date (plus, if
applicable, interest at the Default Rate and all other amounts, other than those
described under other clauses of this Section 3.9(a), then due to Lender under
the Loan Documents); (iv) Fourth,
to
Borrower the monthly amount set forth in the Approved Budget for the following
month as being necessary for payment of Approved Operating Expenses and Approved
Capital Expenses at the Property for such month, plus the amount
for Budgeted Variances (as defined in the Cash Management
Agreement); (v)
Fifth,
after
32
the
consummation of a Securitization, to pay the pro rata portion of the expenses
described in Section 9.1.4; and (vi) Lastly,
to make
payments in an amount equal to all remaining Available Cash on such Payment Date
into the Cash Collateral Subaccount in accordance with Section 3.7.
(b) The
failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under clauses (i)
through (vi) of Section 3.9(a) in full on each Payment Date shall constitute an
Event of Default under
this Agreement; provided, however, if
adequate funds are available in the Deposit Account for such
payments, the failure by the Deposit Bank to allocate such funds into the
appropriate Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of Default.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.9, after the
occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, Lender may apply
all Rents
deposited into the Deposit Account and other proceeds of repayment in such order
and in such manner as Lender shall elect.
ARTICLE
4
Borrower
represents and warrants to Lender as of the date hereof that, except to
the
extent (if any) disclosed on Schedule 2 with reference to a specific Section of
this Article 4:
Section
4.1 Organization;
Special Purpose. Borrower
has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the state of its. formation, with requisite power and authority, and all
rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise,
necessary to own its properties and to transact the business in which it is now
engaged. 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
properties, business and operations. Borrower is a Special Purpose Bankruptcy
Remote Entity.
Section
4.2 Authorization;
Valid Execution and Delivery; Enforceability. Borrower
has taken all necessary actions for the authorization of the borrowing on
account of the Loan and
for the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, including, without
limitation, that those members of Borrower whose approval is required by the
terms of Borrower's organizational documents have duly approved the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents and have authorized execution and delivery
thereof by the respective signatories. To the best of Borrower's knowledge, no
other consent by any local, state or federal agency is required in connection
with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents. All of the Loan Documents
requiring execution by Borrower have been duly and validly executed and
delivered by Borrower. All of the Loan Documents constitute valid, legal and
binding obligations of Borrower and are fully enforceable against Borrower in
accordance with their terms by Lender and its successors, transferees and
assigns, subject only to bankruptcy laws, and general principles of equity,
insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, receivership or other
similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors. All consents,
approvals, authorizations, orders or filings with any court or governmental
agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of
the Loan Documents by Borrower have been obtained or made.
33
Section
4.3 No
Conflict/Violation of Law. The
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower will not
cause or constitute a default under or conflict with the organizational
documents of Borrower, any Guarantor or any general partner or managing member
of Borrower or any Guarantor. The execution, delivery and performance of the
obligations imposed on Borrower under the Loan Documents will not cause Borrower
to be in default, including after due notice or lapse of time or both, under the
provisions of any agreement, judgment or order to which Borrower is a party or
by which Borrower is bound.
Section
4.4 No
Litigation. Except
as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 2, to the best of Borrower's knowledge there
are no pending actions, suits or proceedings, arbitrations or governmental
investigations against the Property, an adverse outcome of which would
materially affect
Borrower's performance under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents.
Section
4.5 No
Defenses. The
Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other
Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
or defense, nor
would the operation of any of the terms of the Note, this Agreement, the
Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right
thereunder, render this Agreement or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in
part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense,
including the defense of usury.
Section
4.6 Title. Borrower
has good and marketable fee simple title to the Property constituting real
property (other than the beneficial interests), and good title to the Equipment,
subject to no liens, charges or encumbrances other than the Permitted
Encumbrances and liens, charges or encumbrances otherwise expressly permitted by
the Loan Documents. The possession of the Property has been peaceful and
undisturbed and title thereto has not been disputed or questioned to the best of
Borrower's knowledge. The Permitted Encumbrances do not and will not materially
and adversely affect (1) the ability of Borrower to pay in full the principal
and interest on the Note in a timely manner or (2) the use of the Property for
the use currently being made thereof, the operation of the Property as currently
being operated or the value of the Property. Upon the execution by Borrower and
the recording of the Mortgage, and upon the filing of UCC-1 financing statements
or amendments thereto, the Lender will have a valid first lien on the Property
and a valid security interest in the Equipment subject to no liens, charges or
encumbrances other than the Permitted Encumbrances and liens, charges or
encumbrances otherwise expressly permitted by the Loan Documents.
Section
4.7 No
Insolvency or Judgment; No Bankruptcy Filing. Neither
Borrower, nor any general partner or member of Borrower, nor any Guarantor of
the Loan is currently (a) the subject of or a party to any completed or pending
bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding; or (b) the subject of any
judgment unsatisfied of record or docketed in any court of the state in which
the Property is located or in any other court located in the United States. The
Loan will not render Borrower nor any general partner or member of Borrower
insolvent. As used herein, the term "insolvent"
means
that the sum total of all of an entity's liabilities (whether secured or
unsecured, contingent or fixed, or
liquidated
or unliquidated) is in excess of the value of all such entity's non-exempt
assets, i.e., all of the assets of the entity that are available to satisfy
claims of creditors. Borrower is not contemplating either the filing of a
petition
by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law or the liquidation
of all or a major
portion of its property (a "Bankruptcy
Proceeding"), and
Borrower has no knowledge of
34
any
Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it. In addition,
except as described on Schedule
2 attached
hereto, neither Borrower nor any principal nor Affiliate of Borrower
has been a party to, or the subject of a Bankruptcy Proceeding for the past ten
years.
Section
4.8 Misstatements
of Fact. No
statement of fact made in the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state any material fact known to
Borrower or its Affiliates necessary to make statements contained herein or
therein not
misleading. There is no fact presently known to Borrower which has not been
disclosed which materially adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can
reasonably foresee, might materially adversely affect the business, operations
or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
Section
4.9 Tax
Filings. To the
extent required, Borrower has filed (or has obtained
effective extensions for filing) all federal, state and local tax returns
required to be filed and,
except as otherwise disclosed to Lender in writing, has paid or made adequate
provision for the
payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable
by Borrower pursuant to such returns or any notice of assessment received by
Borrower. Borrower believes that its tax returns (if any) properly reflect the
income and taxes of Borrower for the periods covered thereby, subject only to
reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service or other
applicable tax authority upon audit. Borrower does not have any knowledge of
any basis
for additional assessment with respect to such taxes other than a possible
reassessment of the
Property for real estate tax purposes resulting from transactions occurring in
connection with the acquisition of the Property on or prior to the date
hereof.
Section
4.10 ERISA. As of
the date hereof and throughout the Term (i) Borrower
is not and will not be an "employee benefit plan," as defined in Section 3(3) of
ERISA, which is
subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) 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, (iii) Borrower is not and will not be a "governmental
plan" within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (iv) transactions by or
with Borrower are not and will not be
subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations
with respect to,
governmental plans. As of the date hereof, neither Borrower, nor any member of
the "controlled group of corporations" (within the meaning of Section 414 of the
Code) that includes Borrower maintains, sponsors or contributes to a "defined
benefit plan" (within the meaning of Section 3(35) of ERISA) or a "multiemployer
pension plan" (within the meaning of Section 3(37)(A) of ERISA).
Section
4.11 Compliance
with Applicable Laws and Regulations. To the
Borrower's knowledge, except as set forth in the engineering reports obtained
and submitted to Lender in
connection with the Loan, all of the Improvements and the use of the Property
comply in all
material respects with, and shall remain in compliance in all material respects
with, all applicable statutes, rules, regulations and private covenants now or
hereafter relating to the ownership, construction, use or operation of the
Property, including all applicable Prescribed Laws and all applicable statutes,
rules and regulations pertaining to requirements for equal opportunity,
anti-discrimination, fair housing, environmental protection, zoning and land use
and the
Improvements comply in all material respects with, and shall remain in
compliance in all material respects with, applicable health, fire and building
codes. Borrower is not aware of any illegal activities relating to controlled
substances on the Property. To Borrower's knowledge, all
35
certifications,
permits, licenses and approvals, including, without limitation, certificates of
completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use, occupancy and
operation of the Property as an office building (collectively, the "Licenses"),
have been
obtained and are in full force and effect. To the Borrower's knowledge, all of
the Improvements comply with all material requirements of any applicable zoning
and subdivision laws and ordinances. To Borrower's knowledge, in the event that
all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged,
said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such
damage or
destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning
or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining
any variances or special permits. No legal proceedings are pending or, to the
knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the zoning of the Property. To
the Borrower's knowledge, neither the zoning nor any other right to construct,
use or operate the Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any
property other than the Property. The use being made of the Property is in
conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for the Property and, to the
Borrower's knowledge, all other restrictions, covenants and conditions affecting
the Property.
Section
4.12 Contracts. Except
as set forth on Schedule 2, to the Borrower's
knowledge there are no service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting the
Property that are not terminable on one month's notice or less without cause and
without penalty or premium. All service,
maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property entered into by the
Borrower have been
entered into at arms-length in the ordinary course of Borrower's business and
provide for the payment of fees in amounts and upon terms comparable to existing
market rates.
Section
4.13 Federal
Reserve Regulations; Investment Company Act. No part
of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or
acquiring any "margin stock" within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would be
inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other regulation of such Board of
Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Legal Requirements or any Loan
Document. Borrower is not (i) an "investment company" or a company "controlled"
by an "investment company," within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended; (ii) a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" of a
"holding company" or an "affiliate" of either a "holding company" or a
"subsidiary company" within the meaning of the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or (iii) subject to any other
federal or state
law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow
money.
Section
4.14 Access/Utilities. To
Borrower's best knowledge, the Property has adequate rights of access to public
ways and is served by adequate water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain
facilities. Other than as disclosed on the Survey (as hereinafter defined), all
public utilities necessary to the continued use and enjoyment of the Property as
presently used and
enjoyed are located in the public right-of-way abutting the Property, and all
such utilities are
connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property. All
roads necessary for the full utilization of the Property for its current purpose
have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental
Authorities or are the subject of access easements for the benefit of the
Property.
Section
4.15 Condition
of Improvements. To the
Borrower's knowledge, except as may be expressly disclosed in the engineering
reports obtained and submitted to Lender, the
36
Property,
including all Improvements, parking facilities, systems, Equipment and
landscaping, are in good condition, order and repair in all material respects;
and there exists no structural or other material defect or damages to the
Property, whether latent or otherwise. Borrower has not received
notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defect or inadequacy
in the
Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect its insurability or
cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or any
termination of any policy of insurance or bond. No portion of the Property is
located in an area as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as
an area having special flood hazards. The Property has not been damaged by fire,
water, wind or other cause of loss which has not been fully restored in all
material respects.
Section
4.16 Leases. To
Borrower's best knowledge the rent roll attached hereto as Schedule 3 together
with the schedules and the exhibits attached to such rent roll (collectively,
the "Rent
Roll") is true,
complete and correct and the Property is not subject to any Leases
other than the Leases described in the Rent Roll and any existing subleases
thereunder and the Master Lease. To Borrower's best knowledge no Person has any
possessory interest in the Property or right to occupy the same except under and
pursuant to the provisions of the Leases (and any existing subleases thereunder)
and the Master Lease. As of the date hereof (i) Borrower is the owner and holder
of the landlord's interest under each Lease; (ii) there are no prior assignments
of the landlord's interest by Borrower (and to Borrower's knowledge any prior
landlord) in any Lease or any portion of Rents which are presently outstanding
and have priority over the Assignment of Leases and Rents (the "Assignment
of Leases and Rents"), dated the
date hereof, given by Borrower to Lender and intended to be duly recorded; (iii)
true and correct copies of the Leases have been delivered by Borrower to Lender
or made available to Lender and, to Borrower's knowledge, the Leases have not
been further modified or amended, except as disclosed to Lender in writing on or
prior to the date hereof; (iv) to Borrower's best knowledge, each Lease is in
full force and effect; (v) to Borrower's best knowledge, except as disclosed on
the Rent Roll or in any tenant estoppels delivered to Lender in connection with
the Loan (collectively, the "Tenant
Estoppels"), neither
Borrower nor, to Borrower's knowledge, any tenant under any Lease is in default
under any of the material terms, covenants or provisions of the Lease, and,
except as disclosed to Lender in writing or in any Tenant Estoppels, Borrower
knows of no event which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or
both, would constitute an event of default under any Lease; (vi) to Borrower's
best knowledge, except as expressly set forth in the Leases, the Tenant
Estoppels or on the Rent Roll, there are no offsets or defenses to the payment
of any portion of the Rents; and (vii) to Borrower's best knowledge, except as
disclosed on the Rent Roll or in any Tenant Estoppel, all Rents due and payable
under each Lease have been paid in full and, except for estimated payments of
operating expenses and taxes made by tenants in accordance with their Leases, no
Rents have been paid more than one
(1) month in
advance of the due dates thereof. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the
term "Lease" shall exclude subleases including the subleases of space covered by
the Master Lease.
Section
4.17 Fraudulent
Transfer. Borrower
(1) has not entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to
hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor and
(2) received
reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan
Documents. Giving effect to the Loan contemplated by the Loan Documents, the
fair saleable value of
Borrower's assets exceed and will, immediately following the execution and
delivery of the Loan
Documents, exceed Borrower's total liabilities, including, without
limitation,
37
subordinated,
unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. The fair market value of
Borrower's assets is and will, immediately following the execution and delivery
of the Loan Documents, be greater than Borrower's probable liabilities,
including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such
debts become absolute and matured. Borrower's assets do
not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents
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
debts and liabilities
(including, without limitation, contingent liabilities and other commitments)
beyond its ability
to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to
be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).
Section
4.18 Ownership
of Borrower. The sole
member of Borrower is Xxxxxxx Properties Holdings II, LLC, whose sole member is
Xxxxxxx Properties Holdings I, LLC, whose sole member is the OP, whose sole
general partner is the REIT. The membership interests in Borrower are owned free
and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, warrants, options and
rights to purchase. Borrower does not have any obligation to any Person to
purchase, repurchase or issue any ownership interest in it. The organizational
chart attached hereto as Schedule 4 is complete and accurate and illustrates all
Persons who have a direct ownership interest in Borrower and the
OP.
Section
4.19 No
Purchase Options. To
Borrower's best knowledge, no tenant, person, party, firm, corporation or other
entity has an option to purchase the Property, any portion thereof or any
interest therein other than options, rights of first refusal and similar rights
to lease space in the Improvements granted to a tenant pursuant to its
respective Lease or in another writing otherwise delivered to Lender and other
than rights of first refusal contained in operating
agreements of members of Borrower in favor of members of the members of
Borrower in the
event of a sale of the Property by Borrower.
Section
4.20 Management
Agreement. The
Management Agreement is in full force and effect and there is no default or
violation by any party thereunder. The fee due under the Management Agreement,
and the terms and provisions of the Management Agreement, are subordinate to the
Mortgage and Manager agrees to attorn to Lender pursuant to and in
accordance
with that certain Assignment and Subordination of Management Agreement dated
of even
date herewith by and among Borrower, Manager and Lender.
Section
4.21 Hazardous

Borrower's knowledge, except as disclosed in the reports, dated December 21,
2004 prepared by URS Corporation Americas (the "Phase I

not in

super-
38
lien and
environmental clean-up statutes (including with respect to Toxic Mold) and all
rules and
regulations adopted in respect to the foregoing laws (collectively, "Environmental
Laws"); (b) the
Property is not subject to any private or governmental lien or judicial or
administrative notice or action or inquiry, investigation or claim relating to
hazardous and/or toxic, dangerous and/or regulated, substances, wastes,
materials, raw materials which include hazardous constituents, pollutants or
contaminants including without limitation, petroleum, tremolite, anthlophylie,
actinolite or polychlorinated biphenyls, toxic mold or fungus of a type that may
pose a risk to human health or the environment or would materially and
negatively impact the value of the Property ("Toxic
Mold") and any
other substances or materials which are included under or regulated by
Environmental Laws or which are considered by scientific opinion to be otherwise
dangerous in terms of the health, safety and welfare of humans (collectively,
"Hazardous
Substances"); (c) no
Hazardous Substances are or have been (including the period prior to Borrower's
acquisition of the Property) discharged, generated, treated, disposed of or
stored on, incorporated in, or removed or transported from the Property other

shall pay all Taxes on or before the last date prior to which any interest, late
fees or penalties would begin to accrue thereon (the "Delinquency
Date") and Other
Charges as the same become due and payable, and deliver to Lender receipts for
payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other
Charges have been so paid no later than the Delinquency Date (provided, however, that

paid by Lender pursuant to Section 3.3). Borrower shall not suffer and shall
promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien against the Property other
than Permitted Encumbrances, and shall promptly pay for all utility services
provided to the Property required to be paid by Borrower. After prior notice to
Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal

determination thereof pay the amount of such Taxes or Other Charges, together
with all costs, interest and penalties. Lender may pay over any such security or
part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when,
in the judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is
established.
Section
5.3 Access
to Property. Borrower
shall permit agents, representatives,
consultants and employees of Lender to inspect the Property or any part thereof
at reasonable hours upon reasonable advance notice, subject however to the
rights of tenants under their respective Leases.
43
5.4.1
Repairs;
Maintenance and Compliance. Borrower
shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade
names, and Borrower shall cause the Property
to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair and shall not remove,
demolish or alter
the Improvements or Equipment (except for alterations performed in accordance
with Section 5.4.2 and normal replacement of Equipment with Equipment of
equivalent value and functionality). Borrower shall promptly comply with all
Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, Prescribed Laws, and
immediately cure properly any violation of a Legal Requirement, including,
without limitation, Prescribed Laws; provided, however, that
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, such Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) such proceeding shall not be
prohibited by 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 comply with such Legal
Requirement and pay all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in

Borrower to comply with such Legal Requirement. Borrower shall notify Lender in
writing within one Business Day after Borrower first receives notice of any such
non-compliance. Borrower shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of
the Property that becomes damaged, worn or dilapidated and shall complete and
pay for any Improvements at any time in the process of construction or
repair.
5.4.2
Alterations. Borrower
shall obtain Lender's prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, to any alterations to the Improvements, the
cost of which is reasonably anticipated to exceed $5,000,000 (the "Threshold
Amount") or that
will have a material adverse effect on Borrower's financial condition, the use,
operation or value of the Property or the Net Operating Income with respect to
the Property, other than (a) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the
terms of any Existing Lease, (b) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to
the terms and provisions of a Lease executed after the date hereof and not
adversely affecting any structural component of any Improvements, any utility or
HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any building
constituting a part of any Improvements (it being understood that the foregoing
provision shall not require Lender's consent to tenants' exterior signage
pursuant to any Lease approved by Lender in accordance with the terms and
provisions of this Agreement) or (c) alterations performed in connection with
the restoration of the Property after the occurrence of a Casualty or
Condemnation in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement
("Excluded
Costs"). If Lender
fails to respond to a request for consent under this Section 5.4.2 within ten
(10) Business Days of receipt thereof, such consent shall be deemed granted,
provided that such request shall have been accompanied by all information
reasonably requested by Lender or reasonably necessary for Lender to evaluate
such request and shall have clearly stated, in 14 point type or greater, that if
Lender fails to respond to such request within ten (10) Business Days, Lender's
consent shall be deemed to have been granted. If Lender refuses to grant such
consent, Lender shall specify in writing the reasons for such refusal. Any
approval by Lender of the plans, specifications or working drawings for
alterations of the Property shall not create
44
responsibility
or liability on behalf of Lender for their completeness, design, sufficiency or
their compliance with applicable laws. Lender may condition any such approval
upon receipt of a certificate of compliance with applicable laws from an
independent architect, engineer, or other Person reasonably acceptable to
Lender. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations
to the Improvements (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by
tenants
under the Leases or paid from accounts established hereunder or Excluded Costs)
shall at any time
exceed the Threshold Amount, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as
security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for
Borrower's obligations under the Loan
Documents any of the following: (1) cash, (2) U.S. Treasury securities, (3)
other securities having a
rating acceptable to Lender and with respect to which the applicable Rating
Agencies have delivered a Rating Comfort Letter, or (4) a Letter of Credit. Such
security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts
with respect to alterations to the Improvements
(other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases
or from
accounts established hereunder or Excluded Costs) over the Threshold Amount.
Upon completion of the alterations to the satisfaction of Lender in its
reasonable discretion Lender shall promptly return to Borrower such additional
security.
Section
5.5 Performance
of Other Agreements. Borrower
shall observe and perform each and every term to be observed or performed by it
pursuant to the terms of any agreement or instrument affecting or pertaining to
the Property, including the Loan Documents.
Section
5.6 Cooperate
in Legal Proceedings. Borrower
shall cooperate fully with Lender with respect to, and permit Lender, at its
option, to participate in, any proceedings before
any Governmental Authority which may in any way affect the rights of Lender
under any Loan
Document.
Section
5.7 Further
Assurances. Borrower
shall, at Borrower's sole cost and expense,
(i) execute and deliver to Lender such documents, instruments, certificates,
assignments and
other writings, and do such other acts necessary or desirable, to evidence,
preserve and/or protect the collateral at any time securing or intended to
secure the Debt and/or for the better and more effective carrying out of the
intents and purposes of the Loan Documents, as Lender may reasonably require
from time to time; and (ii) upon Lender's request therefor given from time to
time after the occurrence and continuation of any Default or Event of Default
pay for (a) reports of UCC, federal tax lien, state tax lien, judgment and
pending litigation searches with respect to Borrower and the OP and (b) searches
of title to the Property, each such search to be conducted by search firms
reasonably designated by Lender in each of the locations reasonably designated
by Lender.
Section
5.8 Environmental
Matters.
5.8.1
Environmental
Covenants. So long
as Borrower owns or is in possession of the Property, Borrower (i) shall keep or
cause the Property to be kept free from Hazardous Substances
except those in compliance with all Environmental Laws or any permits issued
with respect
thereto, (ii) shall promptly notify Lender if Borrower shall become aware of any
release of
Hazardous Substances on the Property and/or if Borrower shall become aware that
the Property is in violation of any Environmental Laws and/or if Borrower shall
become aware of any condition on the Property which shall pose a threat to the
health, safety or welfare of
45
humans,
and (iii) shall remove or remediate such Hazardous Substances and/or cure such
violations and/or remove or remediate such threats, as applicable, as required
by law (or as shall be reasonably required by Lender in the case of removal or
remediation which is not required by law, but
in response to the opinion of a licensed hydrogeologist, licensed environmental
engineer or other
qualified consultant engaged by Lender ("Lender's
Consultant") provided
that such removal, remediation or cure is reasonably necessary to eliminate
imminent danger to the health, safety or welfare of humans and would customarily
be performed by prudent owners of properties similar to the Property in similar
circumstances), promptly after Borrower becomes aware of same, at Borrower's
sole expense, without prejudice to any rights Borrower may have against any
responsible parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section,
Borrower, Manager and/or tenants on the Property may use and store ordinary
amounts of Hazardous Substances at the Property if such use or storage is in
connection with business supplies used by Borrower, a tenant in accordance with
the terms of its Lease or by Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement or is
in connection with the ordinary cleaning and maintenance of the Property so long
as such use and storage (A) does not violate any applicable Environmental Laws
and (B) is not the subject of any specific recommendations in the Phase I
Reports that would prohibit such use or storage. Nothing herein shall prevent
Borrower from recovering such expenses from any other party that may be liable
for such removal or cure. The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this
Section 5.8.1 shall survive any termination, satisfaction, or assignment of the
Mortgage and the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies hereunder,
including, without limitation, the acquisition of the Property by foreclosure or
a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure; provided that such obligations and
liabilities of Borrower shall not survive after the date Lender or its
Affiliates take title to the Property pursuant to foreclosure or a conveyance in
lieu of foreclosure.
5.8.2
Asbestos. Borrower
represents and warrants that, to Borrower's knowledge, no asbestos or any
substance or material containing asbestos (collectively, "Asbestos")
is
located on the Property except as may have been disclosed in the Phase I
Reports
delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan. Borrower shall not install in
the Property, nor permit to be installed in the Property, Asbestos and shall
remove any Asbestos to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, at
Borrower's sole expense. Borrower shall in all instances comply with, and ensure
compliance by all occupants of the Property with, all applicable federal, state
and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations with respect to Asbestos and
shall keep the Property free and clear of any liens imposed pursuant to such
laws, ordinances, rules or regulations. In the event that Borrower receives any
notice or advice from any governmental agency or any source whatsoever with
respect to Asbestos on, affecting or installed on the Property, Borrower shall
promptly notify Lender.
5.8.3
Environmental
Monitoring. Except
to the extent already disclosed in the Phase I Reports, Borrower shall give
prompt written notices to Lender of: (a) any proceeding or inquiry by any party
with respect to the presence of any Hazardous Substance or Asbestos on, under,
from or about the Property, (b) all claims made or threatened by any third party
against Borrower or the Property relating to any loss or injury resulting from
any Hazardous Substance or Asbestos, and (c) Borrower's discovery of any
occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the
Property that could reasonably be expected to cause the Property to be subject
to any investigation or cleanup pursuant to any Environmental Law. Borrower
shall permit Lender to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any
legal
46
proceedings
or actions initiated with respect to the Property in connection with any actual
or alleged violation of Environmental Law or the presence of Hazardous Substance
at the Property, and Borrower shall pay all reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements incurred by Lender in connection therewith. Upon Lender's request,
at any time and from time to time while the Loan is
outstanding but not more frequently than once per calendar year, unless Lender
has determined (in the
exercise of its good faith judgment) that reasonable cause exists for the
performance of an environmental inspection or audit of the Property, Borrower
shall provide at Borrower's sole expense, (i) an inspection or audit of the
Property prepared by a licensed hydrogeologist or licensed environmental
engineer approved by Lender indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous
Substances on, in or near the Property, and (ii) an inspection or audit of the
Property prepared by a duly qualified engineering or consulting firm approved by
Lender, indicating the presence or absence of Asbestos on the Property;
provided, however, any such
inspection or audit requested by Lender, during the Term, in excess of one (1)
inspection during each three (3) year period commencing upon the date hereof,
shall be performed at Lender's expense unless an Event of Default exists or
Lender has determined (in the exercise of its good faith judgment) that
reasonable cause exists for the performance of an environmental inspection or
audit. If Borrower fails to provide such inspection or audit within sixty (60)
days after such request Lender may order same, and Borrower hereby grants to
Lender and its employees and agents access to the Property and a license to
undertake such inspection or audit upon reasonable prior notice to Borrower and
in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with tenants or occupants
thereof. The cost of such inspection or audit obtained by Lender upon Borrower's
failure to do so shall bear interest from the date such costs are incurred by
Lender until paid at the Default Rate and shall be
due and payable by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days after the date Lender
makes written
demand therefor, and if not so paid, may be added to the Debt. In the event that
any environmental site assessment report prepared in connection with such
inspection or audit recommends that an operations and maintenance plan be
implemented for Asbestos or any Hazardous
Substance, Borrower shall cause such operations and maintenance plan to be
prepared and
implemented at Borrower's expense upon request of Lender. In the event that any
investigation, site monitoring, containment cleanup, removal, restoration, or
other work of any kind is reasonably necessary under an applicable Environmental
Law (the "Remedial
Work"), Borrower
shall promptly commence and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all
such Remedial
Work, provided that in any event Borrower shall complete such Remedial Work
within the time
required by applicable Environmental Law, and provided, further, that Borrower's
obligation to perform Remedial Work shall be without prejudice to any rights
Borrower may have against responsible parties. All Remedial Work shall be
performed by contractors approved in advance by Lender, and under the
supervision of a consulting engineer approved by Lender. All costs and expenses
of such Remedial Work shall be paid by Borrower including, without limitation,
Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred in connection
with monitoring or review of such Remedial Work. Nothing herein shall prevent
Borrower from recovering such expenses from any other party that may be liable
for such Remedial Work. In the event
Borrower shall fail to timely commence, or cause to be commenced, or fail to
diligently
prosecute to completion, such Remedial Work, Lender may, but shall not be
required to, cause such Remedial Work to be performed, and all costs and
expenses thereof, or incurred in connection therewith, shall bear interest from
the date such costs are incurred by Lender until paid at the Default Rate and
shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days
47
after the
date Lender makes written demand therefor, and if not so paid, may be added to
the
Debt.
5.8.4
Underground
Storage Tanks. Borrower
shall not install or permit to be installed on the Property any underground
storage tank.
Section

to Lender under the Loan
Documents, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, against the claims of all
Persons.
Section

5.10.1
All new Leases shall be subordinate to the Mortgage and the tenant thereunder
shall agree to attorn to Lender either pursuant to the Lease or a subordination,
nondisturbance and attornment agreement executed by such tenant and Lender. None
of the Leases shall contain any option to purchase, any right of first refusal
to purchase or any right by a tenant to terminate the lease term (except for
termination rights (i) set forth in Leases executed prior to, or on, the date
hereof or (ii) arising from a taking or the destruction of all or substantially
all of the Property or all or substantially all of a tenant's demised premises).
Leases executed after the date hereof shall not contain any provisions which
adversely affect the Property or which might adversely affect the rights of any
holder of the Loan without the prior written consent of Lender. Each tenant
shall conduct business only in that portion of the Property covered by its
Lease. Upon request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all
Leases.
5.10.2
Borrower shall not, without the prior consent of Lender, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or conditioned (i) enter into any Material Lease of all
or any part of the Property, (ii) cancel, terminate (other than as a result of a
tenant default thereunder), abridge or otherwise modify in any material respect
the terms of any Material Lease unless such action is required by the terms
thereof, or accept a surrender thereof, (iii) consent to any assignment of or
subletting under any Material Lease not in accordance with its terms, (iv)
cancel, terminate, abridge or
otherwise
modify any guaranty of any Material Lease or the terms thereof, (v) accept
prepayments of installments of Rents for a period of more than one (1) month in
advance (other than estimated payments of taxes and reimbursable expenses paid
by tenants pursuant to their Leases) or (vi) further assign the whole or any
part of the Leases or the Rents other than in connection with a Transfer and
Assumption. If Lender fails to respond to a request for consent under this
Section 5.10.2 within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof, such consent
shall be deemed granted, provided that such request shall have been accompanied
by all information requested by Lender or reasonably necessary for Lender to
evaluate such request
and shall have clearly stated, in 14 point type or greater, that if Lender fails
to respond to such
request within ten (10) Business Days, Lender's consent shall be deemed to have
been granted. In the event that Lender refuses to grant any such consent, Lender
shall specify in writing the reasons for such refusal. In addition, Borrower
shall not (A) lease all or any part of the Property, (B) cancel, terminate
(other than as a result of a tenant default thereunder), abridge or
otherwise modify the terms of any Lease in any material respect, or accept a
surrender thereof, (C)
consent to any assignment of or subletting under any Lease not in accordance
with its terms or (D)
cancel, terminate, abridge or otherwise modify in any material respect any
guaranty of any
48
Lease or
the terms thereof, unless such actions are exercised for a commercially
reasonable purpose in arms-length transactions for market rate terms. The
foregoing shall not apply to any Lease or license entered into with a Taxable
REIT Subsidiary.
5.10.3
Borrower (i) shall observe and perform all the material obligations imposed upon
the lessor, grantor or licensor, as applicable, under the Leases and shall not
do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of the Leases as security
for the Debt; (ii) shall promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of
default which Borrower shall send or receive thereunder; (iii) shall enforce all
the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the
part of the lessee, grantee or licensee, as applicable, thereunder to be
observed or
performed, short of termination thereof (unless by reason of default
thereunder); (iv) shall not collect
any of the Rents (other than estimated payments of taxes and reimbursable
expenses paid by
tenants pursuant to their Leases) more than one (1) month in advance; (v) shall
not execute any other assignment of the lessor's interest in the Leases or the
Rents except in connection with a Transfer and Assumption; (vi) shall, upon
request of Lender, request and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and
deliver to Lender tenant estoppel certificates from each commercial tenant at
the Property (except sublease tenants of the Master Lease Space) in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, provided that Borrower shall not be
required to deliver such certificates more frequently than two (2) times in any
calendar year; and (vii) shall execute and deliver at the request of Lender all
such further assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection with the
Property as Lender shall from time to time reasonably require.
5.10.4
All security deposits of tenants, whether held in cash or any other form, if
cash, shall be deposited by Borrower at such commercial or savings bank or banks
and shall be held in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements, as may be
reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Any bond or other instrument which Borrower
is permitted to hold in lieu of cash security deposits under any applicable
legal requirements shall be maintained in full force and effect in the full
amount of such deposits unless replaced by cash deposits as hereinabove
described, shall (if issued after the date hereof) be fully assignable to Lender
and shall, in all respects,
comply with any applicable legal requirements and otherwise be reasonably
satisfactory to
Lender. Borrower shall, upon request, provide Lender with evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Lender of Borrower's compliance with the foregoing. Following
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrower
shall, upon Lender's request, if permitted by any applicable legal requirements,
turn over to Lender the security deposits (and any interest theretofore earned
thereon) with respect to all or any portion of the Property, to be held by
Lender subject to the terms of the Leases.
5.10.5
Master
Lease. Borrower
and Master Lease Tenant have entered into the Master
Lease, pursuant to which Master Lease Tenant leases from Borrower the entirety
of the Master
Lease Space, which Master Lease provides for full service gross rent and
recoveries of $27 per
square foot with respect to the area of the Master Lease Space (the "Minimum
PSF
Rent and
Recoveries"), for a
term expiring on March 15, 2008. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 5.10 to the contrary, Borrower may approve the assignment of the Master
Lease or partial release of the Master Lease Tenant from all or any portion of
the Master Lease Space or the Master Lease, provided (i) such
assignment or partial release shall be evidenced by a written
modification or amendment of the Master Lease in accordance with the provisions
of this
49
Section
5.10 and Section 3.3 of the Master Lease; provided that Lender's consent to an
assignment of the Master Lease shall not be required in connection with such
assignment if the Master Lease Tenant remains liable under the Master Lease
(otherwise, Lender's consent shall be required for such an assignment, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) that any space as to which
Master Lease Tenant is released is the subject, in each case, of a new direct
Lease entered into between Borrower and a tenant in accordance with this Section
5.10, and (iii) to the extent that the per square foot contract rent and
recoveries under all such direct Leases is less than the Minimum PSF Rent and
Recoveries under the Master Lease, the per square foot contract rent and
recoveries under the Master Lease with respect to the remaining space demised
thereunder will be automatically increased (pursuant to a written modification
or amendment of the Master Lease in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 5.10) to the extent necessary so that the aggregate contract rent and
recoveries payable with respect to the Master Lease Space under the Master Lease
and all such new direct Leases shall be equal to or greater than Minimum PSF
Rent and Recoveries originally payable with respect to the entirety of the
Master Lease Space under the Master Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is
understood that if (i) Master Lease Tenant seeks a release from the Master Lease
in accordance with this Section 5.10.5 and (ii) the aggregate per square foot
contract rent and recoveries under all new direct Leases is less than the
Minimum PSF Rent and Recoveries originally payable with respect to the entirety
of the Master Lease Space under the Master Lease, then in no event shall
Borrower release Master Lease Tenant from its remaining tenancy obligations
under the Master Lease. Thus, at least a portion of the Master Lease Space must
either be (i) subleased or (ii) retained as space leased directly by Master
Lease Tenant under the Master Lease, such that, in either case, Master Lease
Tenant shall still be obligated to pay to Borrower, under the Master Lease, (x)
the Minimum PSF Rent and Recoveries originally payable with respect to the
entirety of the Master Lease Space under the Master Lease less (y) the aggregate
contract rent and recoveries payable with respect to all new direct Leases. No
Lender consent or approval shall be required regarding any subleases entered
into by Master Lease Tenant concerning the Master Lease Space. Upon termination
of the Master Lease, Borrower may enter into direct Leases for all subleased
space on the terms set forth in the subleases.
Section
5.11 Estoppel
Statement. After
request by Lender, Borrower shall within
ten days furnish Lender with a statement addressed to Lender, its successors and
assigns, duly
acknowledged and certified, setting forth (i) the unpaid Principal, (ii) the
Interest Rate, (iii) the date installments of interest and/or Principal were
last paid, (iv) any offsets or defenses to the payment of the Debt, and (v) that
the Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations and have not been
modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification.
Section
5.12 Property
Management.
5.12.1
Management
Agreement. Borrower
shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, the Management Agreement in full
force and effect and timely perform all of Borrower's obligations thereunder and
enforce performance in all material respects of all obligations of the Manager
thereunder, and except as otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents,
not permit the termination or amendment of the Management Agreement unless
the prior
written consent of Lender is first obtained, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Borrower shall cause the Manager
to enter into an assignment and subordination of the management agreement in
form satisfactory to Lender (the
50
"Subordination
of Management Agreement"). The
Subordination of Management Agreement shall assign and subordinate the Manager's
interests in the Property and all fees and other rights of the Manager pursuant
to the Management Agreement to the rights of Lender. Upon an Event of Default,
Borrower shall, at Lender's request made at any time while such Event of Default
continues, terminate, or cause the termination of, the Management Agreement.
After the date hereof, Borrower shall not enter into any agreement relating to
the management of the Property with any party without the express written
consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld to the
extent that such manager is an affiliate of Borrower); provided, however, with
respect to a new manager of the Property (but not a leasing agent or
subcontractor appointed in accordance with the Management Agreement) such
consent may also be conditioned upon Borrower delivering (i) a Rating Comfort
Letter with respect to such new manager and management agreement (other than a
Qualified Manager that is Controlled (in the sense of clause (ii) of the defined
term "Control") by the REIT), and (ii) evidence satisfactory to Lender (which
shall include, at the request of Lender, a legal non-consolidation opinion
acceptable to Lender) that the single purpose nature and bankruptcy remoteness
of Borrower, its shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, after
the engagement of the new manager are in accordance with the requirements of the
Rating Agencies. If at any time Lender consents to the appointment of a new
manager, such new manager and Borrower shall, as a condition of Lender's
consent, execute an assignment and subordination of such management agreement in
the form then used by Lender.
5.12.2
Termination
of Manager.
Borrower, upon the request of Lender, shall terminate the Manager, without
penalty or fee, if at any time during the Term (a) the Manager shall become
insolvent or a debtor in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (b) there
exists an Event of Default for which Lender has not accepted a cure thereof, (c)
the Maturity Date has occurred and the Loan has not been repaid or (d) the
Manager's gross negligence, malfeasance or willful misconduct or the occurrence
of a default by Manager under the Management Agreement and its continuance
beyond any applicable notice or cure period. At such time as the Manager may be
removed pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan
Documents, a replacement manager and management agreement acceptable to Lender
and the applicable Rating Agencies in their sole discretion shall assume
management of the Property and shall receive a property management fee not to
exceed the then current market rates.
Section
5.13 Special
Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity. Borrower
shall at all times be a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity. Borrower shall
not, directly or indirectly, make any change, amendment or modification to its
organizational documents, or otherwise take any action which could result in
Borrower not being a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity. A "Special
Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity" shall
have the meaning set forth on Schedule 5 hereto.
Section
5.14 Assumption
in Non-Consolidation Opinion. Borrower
and the OP shall

respects.

not enter into any line of
51
business
other than the ownership and operation of the Property, or make any material
change in the
scope or nature of its business objectives, purposes or operations, or undertake
or participate in activities other than the continuance of its present business
or otherwise cease to operate the Property as an office property or terminate
such business for any reason whatsoever (other than temporary cessation in
connection with renovations to the Property).

Transactions. Borrower
shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of
Borrower or any of the members of Borrower except in the ordinary course of
business and on terms which are fully disclosed to Lender in advance and are no
less favorable to Borrower than would be obtained in a comparable arm's length
transaction with an unrelated third party.
Section
5.18 Zoning. Borrower
shall not initiate or consent to any zoning reclassification of any portion of
the Property or seek any variance under any existing zoning ordinance
or use or permit the use of any portion of the Property in any manner that could

use becoming a non conforming use under any zoning ordinance or any other
applicable land use
law, rule or regulation, without the prior consent of Lender.

obtaining the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower shall execute and
deliver to Lender, prior to or contemporaneously with the effective date of any
such change, any financing statement or financing statement change required by
Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the
security interest granted herein. At the request of Lender, Borrower shall

the Property.

shall not directly or indirectly create, incur or assume any indebtedness other
than (i) the Debt and (ii) unsecured trade payables

consent, which consent
may be granted or denied in Lender's sole discretion.
Section
5.25 ERISA.
(1) Borrower
shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any
obligation,
or action taken or to be taken,-hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of

Reliance. Borrower
acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the creditworthiness and
experience of Borrower in owning and operating properties such as the Property
in agreeing to make the Loan, and that Lender will continue to rely on
Borrower's ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the
Property

impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order
to declare the Debt
immediately due and payable upon any Transfer in violation of this Section 5.26
without Lender's consent. This provision shall apply to every Transfer

Any Transfer made in contravention of this Section 5.26 shall be null and void
and of no
force and effect. Borrower agree to bear and shall pay or reimburse Lender on

restructuring (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs and expenses of the Rating Agencies).
(g)
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including the
provisions
of Section 5.27 below), pledges (but not the foreclosure thereon) by the REIT,
the OP or any
entity holding any direct or indirect interests in the REIT, the OP or the
Borrower of their direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower or any
entity holding any direct or indirect interests in the Borrower to any
institutional lender (including investors in syndicated loan facilities
or the agent for such investors) providing a corporate line of credit or other
financing to the
REIT, the OP or any entity holding any direct or indirect interests in the REIT
or the OP or the Borrower, provided that the value of the Property which is
indirectly pledged as collateral under such corporate line of credit or other
financing constitutes no more than thirty-three percent (33%) of the total value
of all assets directly or indirectly securing such line of credit or other
financing, and provided that the following conditions are met:
(i) no Event
of Default or event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time would
constitute an Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured or
unwaived; and
(ii) Lender
shall have received payment of, or reimbursement for, all costs and expenses
incurred by Lender in connection with such pledges (including, but not limited
to, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs and expenses of the Rating
Agencies).
Lender
shall respond to any requests made by Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.26.5
in a prompt
manner. In the event that Lender claims that Borrower has not satisfied any of
the requirements of this Section 5.26.5, Lender shall specify in writing the
reason why any conditions are deemed not satisfied.
Any
provisions of this Section 5.26.5 which require more conditions to be satisfied
in connection with any
particular Permitted Transfer than other provisions under this
Section 5.26.5
(relating
to other
Permitted Transfers) which require fewer conditions to be satisfied shall not be
deemed to be a limitation or modification on the Transfer rights provided
hereunder containing such fewer conditions.
5.26.6
Transfer
and Assumption. (a)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall
have the right to Transfer the Property to another party (the "Transferee
Borrower") and have the
Transferee Borrower assume all of Borrower's obligations under the Loan
Documents, and have
replacement guarantors and indemnitors assume all of the obligations of
the
59
indemnitors
and guarantors of the Loan Documents and the Master Lease (collectively, a
"Transfer
and Assumption"). Borrower
may make a written application to Lender for Lender's consent to the Transfer
and Assumption, subject to the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of
this Section 5.26.6. Together with such written application, Borrower will pay
to Lender the reasonable review fee then required by Lender. Borrower also shall
pay on demand all of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, and including the fees and
expenses of Rating Agencies and other outside entities, in connection with
considering any proposed Transfer and Assumption, whether or not the same is
permitted or occurs.
(b)
Lender's consent to a Transfer and Assumption shall be subject to the
following
conditions (and if all such conditions have been satisfied, Lender shall not
withhold its consent
to the subject Transfer and Assumption):
(i) No
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii) Borrower
has submitted to Lender true, correct and. complete copies of any and all
information and documents reasonably requested by Lender concerning the
Property, Transferee Borrower, replacement guarantors and indemnitors and
Borrower;
(iii) Evidence
satisfactory to Lender has been provided showing that the Transferee
Borrower and such of its Affiliates as shall be designated by Lender
comply and will
comply with Section 5.13 hereof, as those provisions may be modified by Lender
taking into account the ownership structure of Transferee Borrower and its
Affiliates;
(iv) If the
Loan, by itself or together with other loans, has been the subject of a
Securitization, then Lender shall have received a Rating Comfort Letter from the
applicable Rating Agencies; provided that the requirements contained in this
clause (iv) shall not apply in connection with a Transfer and Assumption to a
Transferee Borrower that is a Permitted REIT Transferee;
(v) If the
Loan has not been the subject of a Securitization, then Lender shall have
determined in its reasonable discretion (taking into consideration such factors
as Lender may determine, including the attributes of the loan pool in which the
Loan might reasonably be expected to be securitized) that no rating for any
securities that would be issued in
connection with such securitization will be diminished, qualified, or withheld
by reason
of the Transfer and Assumption; provided that the requirements contained in this
clause (v) shall not apply in connection with a Transfer and Assumption to a
Transferee Borrower that is a Permitted REIT Transferee;
(vi) Borrower
shall have paid all of Lender's reasonable costs and expenses in connection with
considering the Transfer and Assumption, and shall have paid the amount
requested by Lender as a deposit against Lender's costs and expenses in
connection with effecting the Transfer and Assumption;
(vii) Borrower,
the Transferee Borrower, and the replacement guarantors and indemnitors shall
have indicated in writing in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory
60

their readiness and ability to satisfy the conditions set forth in subsection
(c) below
(other than clause (i) with respect to a Permitted REIT Transferee);
and
(viii)
The identity, experience, and financial condition of the Transferee Borrower and
the replacement guarantors and indemnitors shall be reasonably satisfactory
to Lender; provided that the requirements contained in this clause (viii)
shall not apply
in connection with a Transfer and Assumption to a Transferee Borrower that
is a
Permitted REIT Transferee.
(c) If
Lender consents to the Transfer and Assumption, the Transferee
Borrower and/or
Borrower as the case may be, shall immediately deliver the following to Lender
concurrently with the consummation of such Transfer and Assumption:
(i) Borrower
shall deliver to Lender an assumption fee in the amount of 0.25% of the then
unpaid Principal less any review fees, costs and expenses previously paid by
Borrower pursuant to the provision of Section 5.26.6(a) and (b)(vi); provided
that, no assumption fee shall apply in connection with either the first Transfer
and Assumption
or in connection with a Transfer and Assumption to a Transferee
Borrower that is
a Permitted REIT Transferee;
(ii) Borrower,
Transferee Borrower and the original and replacement guarantors
and indemnitors shall execute and deliver to Lender any and all
documents
reasonably required by Lender, in form and substance reasonably required by
Lender;

with the origination of the Loan;
(iv) Borrower
or the Transferee Borrower shall cause to be delivered to Lender,

(the "Endorsement");
and
(v) Borrower
or the Transferee Borrower shall deliver to Lender a payment in the amount of
all remaining unpaid costs incurred by Lender in connection with the
Transfer
and Assumption, including but not limited to, Lender's reasonable attorneys
fees and
expenses, all recording fees, and all fees payable to the title company for the
delivery to
Lender of the Endorsement.
(d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.26.6, with
respect to a one-time only Transfer and Assumption, Lender's prior consent shall
not be required
in connection with a Transfer and Assumption where either (i) the Transferee
Borrower is a
Permitted Transferee; provided that the conditions set forth in subsection (b)
above (other than clause (viii) therein) and subsection (c) above have been
satisfied or (ii) the Transferee Borrower
is a Permitted REIT Transferee; provided that the conditions set forth in
subsection (b)
61
above
(other than clauses (iv), (v) and (viii) therein) and subsection (c) above
(other than clause (i)
therein) have been satisfied.
(e) Upon
the closing of a Transfer and Assumption, Lender shall release Borrower,
the OP and Guarantor from all obligations under the Loan Documents and the

the extent that such obligations of Borrower, the OP and Guarantor are expressly
assumed by the Transferee Borrower or replacement guarantor, as the case may be,
in connection with the Transfer and Assumption).
Section

Lender's prior written consent, Borrower shall not create, incur, assume, permit
or suffer to exist any Lien on all or any portion of the Property or
any
direct or indirect legal or beneficial ownership interest in Borrower, except
Liens in favor of Lender,
Permitted Encumbrances and Liens encumbering Traded Equity, unless such Lien is
bonded or discharged within 30 days after Borrower first receives notice of such
Lien.

5.28 Dissolution. Borrower
shall not (i) engage in any dissolution (to the fullest extent such prohibition
is permitted by law), liquidation or consolidation or merger with or into any
other business entity, (ii) engage in any business activity not related to the
ownership and operation of the Property or (iii) transfer, lease or sell, in one
transaction or any combination

expenses due and payable to Lender hereunder which are not paid by Borrower
within ten (10)
days after demand therefor may be paid from any amounts in the Deposit Account,
with

rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, including the acquisition of the
Property by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.
Section

shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lender and each of its Affiliates and

Management Period has ended, Borrower shall submit to Lender a detailed budget
(an "Annual
Budget") for the

and financing of the Property).

occurrence; (y) earthquake insurance in an amount at least equal to one

(2) products and completed operations on an "if any" basis; (3) independent
contractors;
(4) blanket contractual liability for all legal contracts; and (5) liability

be continually posted until the $500,000 maximum deductible is
exhausted.
(c) rental
interruption insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender (allowing reimbursement
to Borrower for reasonable operating costs during the interruption); (B)
covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in
subsection (a) above; (C) containing an unlimited period of restoration and
extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical

pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the

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 rental
interruption insurance;

No/100 Dollars ($50,000,000) each occurrence on terms consistent with the
commercial property insurance policy required under subsections (a) and (c)
above;
(g) umbrella
liability insurance in an amount not less than Twenty-Five Million and No/100
Dollars ($25,000,000) per occurrence, on terms consistent with the commercial
general liability insurance policy and motor liability insurance policy required
under subsection (b) above and (h) below, on a portfolio basis naming the

provided, that such insurance may be provided under a blanket insurance
Policy so long as the coverage required pursuant to this clause is not reduced
below the per
occurrence limit set forth in this clause;
(h) motor
vehicle liability coverage for all owned and non owned vehicles, including
rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence,
including umbrella
coverage, of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000);
(i) if the
Property is or becomes a legal "non conforming" use, ordinance and law coverage
is required based on the following minimum limits: Coverage A (value of the
undamaged portion) to be included with the insured building limit; Coverage B
(demolition/debris removal) at 10% of insured building value; and Coverage C
(increased cost of construction) at 10% of insured building value;
(j) if
"certified acts of terrorism", as declared by the United States Government, are
now or hereafter excluded from Borrower's comprehensive all risk insurance
policy or business income coverage, Borrower shall obtain an endorsement to such
policies, or separate policies, insuring against all such "certified acts of
terrorism" (such acts or events so excluded, "Terrorism
Acts"),
at
Borrower's option, either (A) in an amount not less than Three Hundred Sixty
Million and No/100 Dollars ($360,000,000) on an aggregate basis covering the
Property and all other properties owned by the OP and/or its Affiliates and
providing for a deductible not exceeding $1,000,000.00 or (B) in a total amount
not less than Four Hundred Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($410,000,000) on an
aggregate basis covering the Property and all other properties owned by the OP
and/or its Affiliates as of the date hereof and providing for a deductible of
not in excess of 5% of the full replacement value of the Property; in either
case, the endorsement or policy shall be (x) in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lender; and (y) non-cancelable (to the extent such
non-cancelable insurance is available in the marketplace) (insurance meeting
such requirements being referred to herein as "Full
Coverage"); provided
Borrower shall not be required to spend in excess of an amount equal to 200% of
the aggregate amount of the "all risk" insurance premiums payable with respect
to the Property and all other properties owned by the OP and/or its Affiliates
per annum for the last policy year in which coverage for terrorism was included
as part of the "all risk" property policy, adjusted annually by a percentage
equal to the increase in the Consumer Price Index (hereinafter defined) (the
"Terrorism
Premium Cap") for such
coverage and, in the event that Full Coverage is not available at a per annum
cost of the Terrorism Premium Cap, then Borrower shall purchase insurance
covering Terrorism Acts in an amount equal to the principal balance of the Loan,
but shall not be required to maintain the full amount of such coverage if such
coverage is not available at a per annum cost of the Terrorism Premium Cap or
less, provided that in the event that the Terrorism Premium Cap is not
sufficient to purchase such coverage in an amount equal
69
to the
principal balance of the Loan, then Borrower shall obtain the greatest amount of
coverage obtainable at a per annum cost of the Terrorism Premium Cap. As used
herein, "Consumer
Price Index" means the
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, New York Metropolitan
Statistical Area, All Items (1982-84 = 100), or any successor index thereto,
approximately adjusted, and in the event that the Consumer Price Index is
converted to a different standard reference base or otherwise revised, the
determination of adjustments provided for herein shall be made with the use of
such conversion factor, formula or table for converting the Consumer Price Index
as may be published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or, if said Bureau shall
not publish the same, then with the use of such conversion factor, formula or
table as may be published by Xxxxxxxx-Xxxx, Inc., or any other nationally
recognized publisher of similar statistical information; and if the Consumer
Price Index ceases to be published, and there is no successor
thereto (1) such other index as Lender and Borrower shall agree upon in writing
or (ii) if
Lender and Borrower cannot agree on a substitute index, such other index, as
reasonably selected by Lender.
In the
event that the limits of insurance in place covering Terrorism Acts on a
portfolio basis are
exhausted by damage to a property other than the Property, then Borrower shall
restore the coverage provided for in clause (x) above (or any lesser amount of
coverage that is available if such coverage is not available), to the extent
such insurance is commercially available; and
(k) upon
sixty (60) days' written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in
such
reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against
such other
insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property
similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is
located.
7.1.2
Policies. All
insurance provided for in Section 7. 1.1 shall be obtained under
valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the "Policies"
or in the
singular, the "Policy"
and shall
be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender as to insurance companies,
amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies (or a "cut-through"
endorsement, approved by Lender, with respect to any such Policy) shall be
issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do
business in the State and, except in the case of flood hazard insurance and
earthquake insurance, having either (i) a claims paying ability rating of "A-"
or better by S&P and an equivalent rating by Xxxxx'x or (ii) if the Policies
are provided through a syndicate of companies, (A) at least 75% of the coverage
and primary layer of coverage shall have a claims paying ability rating of "A, V
or better (and the equivalent thereof) by A.M. Best's Key Rating Guide ("Best"),
(B) no more than 15% of the Policies shall have a claims paying ability rating
of "A, VIII" or less by Best and (C) no more than 10% of the Policies shall have
a claims paying ability rating of "A, VII" or less by Best's. The Policies
described
in Section 7. 1.1 (other than those strictly limited to liability protection)
shall designate Lender
as loss payee and Lender shall be an additional named insured, as its interests
may appear. Not less than ten (10) 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 shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
70
7.1.3
Insurance Premiums. Subject
to the provisions of Section 3.3 hereof, Borrower shall pay the premiums for
such Policies (the "Insurance
Premiums") as the
same become due and payable and shall furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal
of each of the Policies with receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums
or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender (provided, however, that
Borrower is not required to furnish such evidence of payment to Lender in the
event that such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section
3.3 hereof). If Borrower is required to furnish such evidence and receipts
pursuant to the preceding sentence and Borrower does not furnish such evidence
and receipts at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any expiring
Policy, then Lender may procure, but shall not be obligated to procure, such
insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower agrees to
reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand.
Within thirty (30) Business Days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain
such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be
reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value
of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and
practices of owners of property similar to the Property located in or around the
region in which the Property is located and as may be available at commercially
reasonable rates. Lender acknowledges that the Policies, delivered with respect
to the Property as of the date hereof satisfy the requirements of this Section
7. Such approval shall continue in effect until the expiration or termination of
such Policies, provided that there is not a downgrade by S&P, Xxxxx'x or
Best of any insurer providing such Policies and, as a result thereof, Borrower
fails to satisfy the rating criteria set forth in Section 7.1.2. Any renewal or
replacement of such Policies, however, shall require Lender's approval as
provided above in this Section 7.1.2 unless (i) the companies providing such
renewal or replacement Policies are licensed to do business in the state where
the Property is located and have a claims paying ability rating by S&P,
Xxxxx'x and Best's Insurance Reports that satisfy the requirements set forth in
Section 7.1.2 above or that, subject to the provisions of Section 7.1.5 below,
such rating is no less than the rating as of the date hereof of the company
providing the insurance approved by Lender as of the date hereof, (ii) the
coverage provided by such renewal or replacement Policies is no less than the
coverage approved by Lender as of the date hereof, (iii) such renewal or
replacement Policies contain in all material respects the same terms and
conditions as the Policies approved by Lender as of the date hereof and (iv)
Lender has not notified Borrower in accordance with this Section 7.1 that the
requirements for the Policies have changed since the date hereof.
7.1.4
Blanket Policies. The
insurance coverage required under this Section 7.1 may be
effected under one or more blanket Policies covering the Property and other
property and assets
not constituting a part of the Property; provided that any blanket Policy shall
specify, except in the case of general liability insurance, the portion of the
total coverage of such blanket Policy that is allocated exclusively to the
Property and shall comply in all respects with the requirements of this Section
7. Lender hereby confirms that it approves (i) the terms of the existing
Property Insurance Sharing Agreement among Borrower and certain of its
Affiliates, and (ii) that the Insurance Premiums are financed through one or
more finance companies (individually
and/or collectively, the "Blanket
Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement") to whom
Borrower pays Borrower's allocable share of the annual initial deposit and the
monthly payments due for each blanket Policy to the applicable finance company
(with respect to each blanket Policy, such monthly payment, together with
one-twelfth (1/12th) of the allocable share
71
of the
annual initial deposit necessary to accumulate such allocable share for such
Policy at least thirty
(30) days prior to its due date, each, a "Financing
Installment").
Section
7.2 Casualty.
7.2.1
Notice; Restoration. If the
Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other
casualty (a "Casualty"),
Borrower
shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of a
Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether insurance
proceeds are available (unless Lender has breached its obligation (if any) to
make such insurance
proceeds available pursuant to Section 7.4.1), shall promptly proceed to
restore, repair, replace
or rebuild the same to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same
character as prior to
such damage or destruction (a "Casualty
Restoration"), all to be
effected in accordance with
applicable law
7.2.2
Settlement of Proceeds. If a
Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an "Insured
Casualty") occurs
where the loss does not exceed $2,500,000, provided no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust any claim
without the prior consent of Lender; provided such adjustment is carried out in
a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and
receipt for the Insurance Proceeds (as hereinafter defined). In the event of an
Insured Casualty where the loss exceeds $2,500,000 (a "Significant
Casualty"), Lender
may, in its sole discretion, settle and adjust any claim without the consent of
Borrower and agree with the insurer(s) in a commercially reasonable manner on
the amount to be paid on the loss, and the Proceeds shall be due and payable
solely to Lender and held by Lender in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and
disbursed in accordance herewith. If Borrower or any party other than Lender is
a payee on any check representing Proceeds with respect to a Significant
Casualty, Borrower shall immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties
to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender. Borrower hereby
irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest,
to endorse such check payable to the order of Lender. The expenses incurred by
Lender in the settlement, adjustment and collection of the Proceeds shall become
part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender within ten (10)
days following demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance carrier makes a payment
under a property insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated as business
or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack
of designation) by the insurance carrier as to the purpose of such payment, as
between Lender and Borrower,
such payment shall not be treated as business or rental interruption insurance
proceeds unless
Borrower has demonstrated to Lender's reasonable satisfaction that the remaining
net Proceeds
that will be received from the property insurance carriers are sufficient to pay
100% of the cost
of fully restoring the Improvements or, if such net Proceeds are to be applied
to repay the Debt in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining net
Proceeds, together with any
portion of the amount treated as business or rental interruption insurance that
will be paid to Lender,
will be sufficient to pay the Debt in full.
Section
7.3 Condemnation.
7.3.1
Notice; Restoration. Borrower
shall promptly give Lender written notice of the
actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain
proceeding
72
(a
"Condemnation")
and shall
deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such
Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless
of whether an Award (hereinafter defined) is available (unless Lender has
breached its
obligation (if any) to make such Award available pursuant to Section 7.4.1),
shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to the
extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same
character as prior to such Condemnation (a "Condemnation
Restoration", together
with a Casualty Restoration, collectively a "Restoration"),
all to be
effected in accordance with applicable law.
7.3.2
Collection of Award. Lender
is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower's attorney-in-fact, coupled with an
interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any award or
payment ("Award")
for any
taking accomplished through a Condemnation (a "Taking")
and to
make any commercially reasonable compromise or settlement in connection with any
such Condemnation, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right, provided no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, to compromise and collect or receive any
award that does not exceed $2,500,000. Notwithstanding any Taking by any public
or quasi-public authority (including, without limitation, any transfer made in
lieu of or in anticipation of such a Taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the
Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Note, in this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until
any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of
collecting the Award and to 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 in
the Note. Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be paid
directly to Lender. The expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and
collection of the Award shall become part of the Debt and be secured hereby and
shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days after the date
Lender makes written demand therefor.
Section
7.4 Application of Proceeds or Award.
7.4.1
Application to Restoration. The
following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the
Property and Improvements:
(a) If the
Net Proceeds shall be less than $2,500,000 and the costs of completing the
Restoration shall be less than $2,500,000, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by
Lender to Borrower
upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section
7.4.1(c)(i) 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 $2,500,000 or the costs of completing
the Restoration is equal to or greater than $2,500,000 Lender shall make the Net
Proceeds
available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section
7.4. The term
"Net
Proceeds" shall
mean: (A) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant
to Section 7.1.1(a), (d), (f), (i) and 0)
(and any
similar or comparable types of insurance obtained pursuant to Section 7.1.1(i)
as a result of such damage or destruction, after
73
deduction
of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable
counsel fees),
if any, in collecting same ("Insurance
Proceeds"), or (B)
the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and
expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any,
actually incurred in collecting same ("Condemnation
Proceeds"), whichever
the case may be.
(c) The
Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided
that each of the following conditions are met:
(i) no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(ii) (1) in
the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent
(30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements has been damaged,
destroyed or
rendered unusable as a result of such fire or other casualty or (2) in the event
the Net Proceeds
are Condemnation Proceeds, less than fifteen percent (15%) 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 in
such land;
(iii) Leases
demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than the
Rentable Space Percentage of the total rentable space in the Improvements shall
remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the
Restoration, notwithstanding
the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever
the case may
be. The term "Rentable
Space Percentage" shall
mean (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, a percentage
amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) and (2) in the event the Net Proceeds
are Condemnation Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to seventy-five percent
(75%) which Rentable Space Percentage shall, in each case, include each of the
Required Leases. The "Required
Leases" shall
mean, collectively, the Master Lease and the Leases with Xxxxx Fargo Bank, Xxxxx
Fargo Corporate Services, and Holme Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP, or any replacement
Lease executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of
Section 5.10 hereof with respect to the space demised to any of the foregoing
tenants, provided such replacement Lease is a Material Lease;
(iv) Borrower
shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable
(but in no event later than ninety (90) days after such damage or
destruction or
taking, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same
to satisfactory completion;
(v) Lender
shall be reasonably 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 fire or other
casualty or
taking, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds,
(2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1.1(c), if applicable, or
(3) by other funds of Borrower;
(vi) 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
74
earliest
date required for such completion under the terms of any Required Lease, (3)
such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or
regulation in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was
in immediately
prior to such fire or other casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition
it was in
immediately prior to such taking, as applicable or (4) the expiration of the
insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1.1(c);
(vii) the
Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance
with and permitted under all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules
and
regulations and all necessary operating or reciprocal easement agreements for
the operation and maintenance of the Property are, or remain, in
effect;
(viii) the
Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and
diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable governmental laws,
rules and regulations (including, without limitation, all
applicable
environmental laws);
and
(ix) such fire
or other casualty or taking, as applicable, does not result in a material loss
of access to the Property.
(d) Unless
such amounts are payable to Borrower pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3, the Net
Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account for the benefit
of Borrower (which interest shall be added to and become a part of the Net
Proceeds) and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section
7.4, 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 reasonably 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 arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded
to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative
fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender by the title company
issuing the title insurance policy.
(e) All plans
and specifications required in connection with any Restoration following
a Casualty or Condemnation resulting in Net Proceeds of $5,000,000 or more shall
be subject
to prior review and reasonable acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an
independent
consulting engineer selected by Lender (the "Casualty
Consultant") provided
that if the
correspondence from Borrower to Lender requesting approval of any such plans and
specifications
(or contractors, subcontractors or materialmen in connection therewith) contains
a bold
faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page stating that "IF YOU FAIL
TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN 15 BUSINESS
DAYS,
YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN", and if
Lender fails to respond to such
request for approval in writing within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt
by Lender of such
written request, the related plans and specifications and all information
reasonably required in order
to adequately review the same, then such approval will be deemed given. Lender
shall
75
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 any Restoration following a Casualty or Condemnation resulting in
Net Proceeds
of $5,000,000 or more, as well as the contracts under which they have been
engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the
Casualty Consultant, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned 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.
(f) 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 hard 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 clause (f), 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 7.4.1 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.
(g) Lender
shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently
than once every calendar month.
(h) 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 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
76
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 7.4 shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other
obligations under the Loan Documents.
(i) 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 7.4.1,
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 remitted by Lender to
Borrower, provided
no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note,
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
0)
Notwithstanding
the last sentence of Section 7.1.1(c) and provided no Event of Default exists
hereunder, proceeds received by Lender on account of the rental or business
interruption insurance specified in Section 7.1.1(c) above with respect to any
Casualty shall either (x) at any time other than during the continuance of a
Cash Management Period, be released to Borrower for Borrower's deposit with the
Clearing Bank or (y) during a Cash Management Period, be deposited by Lender
directly into the Deposit Account and allocated as Rents in accordance with
Section 3.9(i) through (vi) but (a) only to the extent it reflects a
replacement
for (i) lost Rents that would have been due under Leases existing on the date of
such
Casualty, and/or (ii) lost Rents under Leases that had not yet been executed and
delivered at the time of such Casualty which Borrower has proven to the insurer
under the related Policy would have been due under such Leases (and then only to
the extent such proceeds disbursed by such insurer reflect a replacement for
such past due Rents) and (b) with respect to clause (y) above, only to the
extent necessary to fully make the disbursements required by Section 3.9(i)
through (vi). All other such proceeds shall be held by Lender and disbursed in
accordance with this Section 7.4.
7.4.2
Application to Debt. 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 7.4.1(1) may be
retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not
then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its
sole discretion shall deem proper, 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 designate, in its discretion. So long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, any application of Net Proceeds to the Debt
shall not require any payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium or any other
premium or
penalty.
ARTICLE
8
Section
8.1 Events of Default. An
"Event of Default" shall exist with respect to the
Loan if any of the following shall occur:
77
(a) if any
portion of the Debt that is due on a Payment Date is not paid on or before
the related Payment Date or, for any payment other than payments due on a
Payment Date,
the date on which such payment is due;
(b) subject
to Borrower's right to contest as provided herein, if any of the Taxes
are not
paid prior to the date that any interest, late fees or other penalties would
accrue thereon or any of
the Other Charges are not paid when the same are due and payable (unless sums
equaling the
amount of Taxes and Other Charges then due and payable have been delivered to
Lender in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof);
(c) if the
Policies are not kept in full force and effect, or if the Policies or
certificates
evidencing such Policies are not delivered to Lender within fifteen (15) days
after
request;
(d) except as
expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
a Transfer occurs without Lender's prior written consent;
(e) if any
representation or warranty of Borrower, or of any Guarantor, made herein or in
any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, financial statement or
other instrument

Section
8.2 Remedies.
8.2.1
Acceleration. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of
Default described in paragraph (0
or (g) of
Section 8.1) and at any time and from time to time
thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant
to the Loan
79
Documents
or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand,
that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower
and in and to the Property including declaring the Debt to be immediately due
and payable (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment
Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium and any other amounts owing by Borrower),
without notice or demand; and upon any Event of Default described
in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8. 1, the Debt (including unpaid interest,
Default Rate
interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium and any other amounts
owing by Borrower) shall immediately and automatically become due and payable,
without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice
or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding.
8.2.2
Remedies Cumulative. 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 the
Loan Documents 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, or
be automatically, 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,
singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as
Lender may determine in its 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 in the Loan Documents.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an
Event of Default is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law,
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, the
Mortgage has been foreclosed, the Property has been sold and/or otherwise
realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. To
the extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document
shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Property
for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other
portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the entire Property or any part
thereof, in its discretion.
8.2.3
Severance. 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 in such denominations and priorities of payment and liens as Lender
shall determine in its discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its
rights and remedies. 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 as its true
and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and
execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such severance, Borrower
ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof
8.2.4
Delay. No delay
or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of
Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender
80
shall
impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or 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 shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event
of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right
to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with
the foreclosure of the Mortgage to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or
any portion of the Property, the Rents, the Cash Management Accounts or any
other collateral.
8.2.5
Lender's Right to Perform. If
Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation
contained herein (including the covenant set forth in the last sentence of
Section 5.4.1) and such
failure shall continue for a period of five Business Days after Borrower's
receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting
Lender's right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided
hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have
no obligation to, perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation,
and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or
paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender within ten
(10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor and, if not paid,
shall be added to the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable jaws,
secured by the Mortgage and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest
thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have
no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

Sale of Note and Securitization.
9.1.1
Cooperation in Securitization. At the
request of the holder of the Note and, to the extent not already required to be
provided by Borrower under the Note, Loan Agreement or other Loan Documents,
Borrower and its affiliates shall use reasonable efforts to comply with the
requests of the holder of the Note or to take such action as may be required by
a purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant or other potential
investor (collectively, the "Investor")
or by the
Rating Agencies in connection with one or more sales, transfers or assignments
of the Loan (or portions thereof or interests therein), or grants of
participation interests therein, in connection with one or more securitizations
of such Note, or portions thereof or interests therein (each such sale and/or
securitization, a "Securitization")
involving
the issuance
of rated or unrated single-class or multi-class securities (the "Securities")
secured
by or
evidencing direct or indirect ownership interests in, among other things, the
Note (or any portion thereof or interests therein) and the Loan Agreement. Such
efforts, with respect to each Securitization may include, without limitation,
to:
(a) (1)
provide such financial and other information with respect to the Property, the
OP, the REIT (the OP and the REIT being individually or collectively referred to
herein as the "Parent")
and the
manager of the Property as reasonably determined by the holder of the Note to be
necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization (including,
without limitation, existing audited or unaudited financial statements or at no
expense to Borrower or any
81
Parent,
audited or unaudited financial statements), (ii) provide budgets relating to the
Property (iii) at no expense to Borrower or any Parent, perform or permit or
cause to be performed or permitted such site inspections, appraisals, market

II's), engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the
Property, as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note, the Rating
Agencies, and/or Investors in the Securities, or as may be reasonably necessary
or appropriate in connection with the Securitization in a manner which does not
unreasonably interfere
with the tenants or occupants thereof (such information in clauses (1), (ii) and
(iii) being
collectively referred to as the "Provided
Information"), together
with appropriate verification and/or consents with respect to the Provided
Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent
attorneys acceptable to the holder of the Note and the Rating
Agencies,
(b) prepare a
presentation for the Rating Agencies describing Borrower, Parent, the Property,
management of the Property and such other matters as are customary for
securitizations such as the Securitization, in each case as may be reasonably
requested by the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies and/or Investors in the
Securities or as may be reasonably determined by the holder of the Note to be
necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization;
(c) cause
counsel to render opinions, which may be relied upon by the holder of
the Note,
the Rating Agencies, Investors and/or other participants in the Securitization,
as to non
consolidation or any other opinion customary in securitization transactions with
respect to the Property, Borrower, Parent and their respective affiliates, which
counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the holder of the Note,
the Rating Agencies and/or Investors in the Securities;
(d) work with
and, if requested, supervise third-party service providers engaged by Borrower
to obtain, collect and deliver information reasonably required by the Rating
Agencies in connection with the Securitization;
(e) if
required by the Rating Agencies, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver
such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other
agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Property, which estoppel
letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be reasonably
satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(f) make such
representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with
respect to the Property, Borrower, Parent, the Note, Loan Agreement and other
Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note, the
Rating Agencies and/or Investors in the Securities and as are consistent with
the facts covered by such representations
and warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations
and
warranties made in the Note, Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents;
and
(g) execute
such amendments to the Note, Loan Agreement, other Loan Documents
and organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by the holder of
the Note, the
Rating Agencies and/or Investors in the Securities or otherwise to effect one or
more
82
Securitizations
(including, without limitation, such amendments as shall be necessary or
advisable to sever the Note (and/or any then existing component thereof) into
one or more notes and/or one or more components and allocate Principal amounts
thereof in order to effectuate one or more
sales of the Note (and/or the resulting notes or components thereof) and/or to
correspond to the
related classes of Securities in one or more Securitizations so long as, in all
such cases, the overall duration-weighted interest rate over all of the notes
and components shall equal the Interest Rate); provided, however, that
Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend the Note, Loan Agreement or
any other Loan Documents if such modification or amendment would (1) have a
material adverse economic effect on Borrower or its Affiliates, (ii) modify or
amend the loan term, amortization or any other economic term of the Loan or
(iii) otherwise materially increase the obligations or materially decrease the
rights of Borrower or the other parties pursuant to the Note, Loan Agreement and
other Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, modifying the transfer,
recourse, prepayment, event of default or remedy provisions of the Loan
Documents or the organizational documents of Borrower or its
Affiliate).
9.1.2
Costs and Expenses.
Borrower, the REIT and their Affiliates will bear their own internal costs of
cooperation required by this Agreement in connection with any Securitization,
but Lender shall be responsible for all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses
in
connection with any Securitization after the closing of the Loan.
9.1.3
Indemnification. Borrower
and its respective Affiliates understand that certain
of the Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in
connection with each
Securitization, including, without limitation, a prospectus, prospectus
supplement, private placement memorandum, collateral term sheets, structured
term sheets and computational materials (each, a "Disclosure
Document") and may
also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), or
provided or made available to Investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies
and service providers relating to such Securitization. In the event that such
Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all
Securities, Borrower, and its respective Affiliates will cooperate with the
holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current
information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in
all material respects; provided, however, that
this provision shall be limited to those portions of the Disclosure Statement
that described Borrower or any of its Affiliates, the Property, the Loan or the
other Loan Documents.
(a) In
the case of each Securitization, Borrower agrees to cooperate in connection with
(i) the preparation of a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum
and/or
(ii) the
preparation of a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as
applicable, and (iii)
the execution of an indemnification certificate (A) certifying that Borrower has
carefully examined
in each such memorandum or prospectus, as applicable, all sections containing
information relating to the Property, Parent, Borrower, any Affiliates of
Parent, Borrower, or the Loan, and that such information included therein
(collectively, the "Securitization
Information"), does not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
known to Borrower that is necessary in order to make the statements made, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B)
indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.1.3, Lender hereunder
shall include its officers,
83
directors
and employees), the Person who acts as depositor, issuer and/or registrant who
may have filed a registration statement relating to the Securitization, each
underwriter or placement agent involved in the Securitization, each of their
respective directors and officers and each Person who controls such Person
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section
20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the "Indemnified
Group"), for any
losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (collectively, the "Liabilities")
to which
any of the Indemnified Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise
out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in the Securitization Information which untrue or
alleged untrue statement is not expressly disclosed to Lender by Borrower after
Borrower has been given an opportunity to review the Securitization Information,
or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse each Person in the
Indemnified Group for any legal or other expenses incurred by each such Person
in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities for which an
indemnity is owed hereunder; provided, however, that
Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to
the extent that any such Liability arises out of or is based upon any Provided
Information or upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact known to Borrower that is required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, or any other information furnished to Lender or
any other Person in the Indemnified Group by Borrower or an affiliate in
connection with the preparation of any Disclosure Document or in connection with
the underwriting of the Debt, including, without limitation, financial
statements of Borrower, operating statements, rent rolls, environmental site
assessment reports and Property condition reports with respect to the Property.
This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may
otherwise have.
(b) In the
case of each Securitization, in connection with filings under the Exchange Act,
Borrower agrees to indemnify (i) each Person in the Indemnified Group for
Liabilities to which each such Person may become subject insofar as the
Liabilities arise out of or are
based upon an untrue statement or an alleged untrue statement in the Provided
Information or an
omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material
fact known to Borrower that is necessary in order to make the statements in the
Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading, which untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission is not expressly disclosed to Lender by Borrower after Borrower has
been given an opportunity to review such filings under the Exchange Act and (ii)
each Person in the Indemnified Group for any reasonable legal or other expenses
incurred by each such Person in connection with defending or investigating the
Liabilities for which an indemnity is owed hereunder.
(c) Promptly
after receipt by a party seeking indemnification hereunder of notice of the
commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of
which a claim is to be made under this Section 9.1.3, such party will notify
Borrower in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify
Borrower will not relieve Borrower from any liability which Borrower may have to
any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify
causes prejudice to Borrower. In the event that any action is brought against
any indemnified party, and it notifies Borrower of the commencement thereof,
Borrower will be
84
entitled
to participate therein and, to the extent that Borrower may elect by written
notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid
notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from Borrower to
such indemnified party hereunder, Borrower shall be responsible for any legal or
other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation;
provided, however, if the
defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and Borrower
and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any
legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are
different from or in addition to those available to Borrower, the indemnified
party or parties shall have the right to select separate
counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the
defense of such action
on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Borrower shall not be liable for
the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to Borrower
that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified
party.
(d) In order
to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which any
indemnification provided for under this Section 9.1.3 is for any reason held to
be unenforceable, unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party in respect of any Liabilities which would otherwise be indemnifiable
hereunder, Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities; provided, however, that if
any indemnified party is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) it shall not be entitled to
contribution from Borrower if Borrower was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the
respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (1)
the relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with
respect to which a claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and
prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations
appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would
not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata
or per capita allocation.
(e) The
liabilities and obligations of Borrower and its Affiliates hereunder shall
survive the termination of the Note, Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents and
the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
(0
Each
Person in the Indemnified Group is an intended third party beneficiary of the
obligations of Borrower herein.
9.1.4
Rating Surveillance. Lender
will retain the Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on
Securities. The pro rata expenses of such surveillance will be paid for by
Borrower based on the applicable percentage of such expenses determined by
dividing the then outstanding Principal by the then aggregate outstanding amount
of the pool created in the Securitization which includes the Loan.
9.1.5
Severance of Loan. Lender
shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to, in connection with, or
after any Securitization), with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, to
modify, split and/or sever all or any portion of the Loan as hereinafter
provided. Without
85
limiting
the foregoing, Lender may (1) cause the Note and the Mortgage to be split into a
first and second
mortgage loan, (ii) create one more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B
or A/B/C structure), (iii) create multiple components of the Note or Notes (and
allocate or reallocate the Principal balance of the Loan among such components)
or (iv) otherwise sever the Loan into two or more loans secured by mortgages, in
each such case, in whatever proportion and whatever priority Lender determines;
provided, however, in each
such instance the outstanding Principal balance of all the Notes evidencing the
Loan (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such
modification equals the outstanding Principal balance of the Loan immediately
prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for
all such Notes (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective
date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note
immediately prior to such modification and such action shall not result in
additional costs to Borrower except as expressly provided above. If requested by
Lender, Borrower (and Borrower's constituent members, if applicable, and
Guarantor) shall execute within five (5) Business Days after such request, such
documentation as Lender may reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate any
such modification or severance.

Documents; provided, however, that,
except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such

shall not xxx for,
seek or demand any deficiency judgment against any of the Borrower Parties or
any other Person in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or in
connection with this Agreement,
the Note or any of the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this paragraph
shall not,
however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation
evidenced or secured
by this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) impair the
right of Lender
to name any of the Borrower Parties, as a party defendant in any action or suit
for foreclosure
and sale under the Mortgage; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any
guaranty made in
connection with the Loan or any rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (iv)
impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) impair

Person), by money
judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense,

intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or any Guarantor in connection with
the Loan;
(b) intentional
physical waste of the Property (including, but not limited to, waste due to
gross negligence) by Borrower or any affiliate thereof; provided, however, such

ordinary course of business of the Property by Borrower or any affiliate
thereof;

material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification
provision in that certain Environmental and Hazardous Substance Indemnification

removal or disposal by Borrower or any affiliate thereof of any portion of the
Property after an Event of Default has occurred and while it is continuing,

of the Property is replaced by an item of equal or greater value as determined
by Lender in its
reasonable discretion;

misapplication or conversion by Borrower or any affiliate thereof

with Section 5.2; and
(g) any
security deposits collected by Borrower or any affiliate thereof with respect to
the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the
Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security
deposits were applied in accordance with the
terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event
of Default that
gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents
(i)
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 U.S. Bankruptcy
Code to file a claim for the full
amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure
all of the Debt owing to
Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (ii) the Debt shall become
fully recourse

provided in the
Non-Recourse Guaranty) or other direct or indirect constituent members or
partners or any

in the Note) under the Note is not paid when due; (B) other than in connection
with a default under subsection (x) of the definition of Special Purpose
Bankruptcy Remote Entity set forth in Schedule 5 hereof, Borrower fails to
maintain its status as a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement and such failure results in the

Section

hereby represents that, with the exception of Secured Capital Corp., it has
dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents,
agents or finders in connection with the Loan. Borrower shall indemnify and hold
Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and
expenses (including attorneys' fees, whether incurred in connection with
enforcing this indemnity
or defending claims of third parties) of any kind in any way relating to or
arising from a claim

the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.2 shall
survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the repayment of

or similar agreement entered into as a result of a Securitization, the Cash

incidental thereto. Borrower
shall pay any reasonable fees and expenses of the Servicer in connection with a
release of the
Property, assumption or modification of the Loan, enforcement of the Loan
Documents or any other action taken by Servicer hereunder on behalf of
Lender.
Section

Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations
and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto
shall survive
the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the
Note,

longer period if expressly set forth in this Agreement. All Borrower's covenants
and agreements in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the respective
legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.
Section

any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender or is to be in Lender's
discretion, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove, to consent or
withhold
consent, or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not
satisfactory, or
acceptable or unacceptable or in Lender's discretion shall (except as is
otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and
shall be final and conclusive.

10.7 Modification, Waiver in Writing. No
modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any
departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom

90
Section
10.9 Headings/Exhibits. The
Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of
reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other
purpose. The Exhibits attached hereto, are hereby incorporated by reference as a
part of the Agreement with the same force and effect as if set forth in the body
hereof.
Section
10.10 Severability. Wherever
possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner
as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this
Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this
Agreement.
Section
10.11 Preferences. Upon the
occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the
continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all
payments by Borrower to any portion of the Debt. To the extent Borrower makes a
payment to Lender, or Lender receives proceeds of any collateral, which is in
whole or part subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or
equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the
Debt or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in
full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by
Lender. This provision shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.
Section
10.12 Waiver of Notice. Borrower
shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except
with respect to matters for which this Agreement or any other Loan Document
specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower
and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to
applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower
hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect
to any matter for which no Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the
giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section
10.13 Remedies of Borrower. If a
claim or adjudication is made that Lender or
any of its agents, including Servicer, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably
delayed acting
in any case where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent,
as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower
agrees that neither Lender nor its agents, including Servicer, shall be liable
for any monetary damages, and Borrower's sole remedy shall be to commence an
action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or
proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined
by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Borrower specifically waives any
claim against Lender and its agents, including Servicer, with respect to actions
taken by Lender or its agents on Borrower's behalf.
Section
10.14 Prior Agreements. This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the
parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, and all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations among or
between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
91
Section
10. 15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Borrower
hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or
compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by
Lender or its agents, including Servicer, or otherwise offset any obligations to
make payments required under the Loan Documents. Any assignee of Lender's
interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all
offsets, counterclaims or defenses which Borrower may otherwise have against any
assignor of such documents, and no such offset, counterclaim or defense shall be
interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any
such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to interpose or assert any
such offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby
expressly waived by Borrower.
Section
10.16 Publicity. All news
releases, publicity or advertising through any media
intended to reach the general public (collectively, "Public
Releases") issued by
Borrower or its
Affiliates that refer to the Loan Documents, the Loan, Lender or any member of
the Indemnified Group, a Loan purchaser, the Servicer or the trustee in a
Securitization shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender. Lender
shall have the right to issue any Public Releases without Borrower's
approval.
Section
10.17 No Usury. Borrower
and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable
United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for,
charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state
law) and that this Section 10.17 shall control every other agreement in the Loan
Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially
interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or any
other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received
with respect to the Debt, or if Lender's exercise of the option to accelerate
the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower
having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it
is Borrower's and Lender's express intent that all excess amounts theretofore
collected by Lender shall be credited against the unpaid Principal
and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full,
refunded to
Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed
reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the
necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with applicable
law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for
thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use,
forbearance or detention of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the
full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of
interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from
time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is
outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan
Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any
interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect
unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
Section
10.18 Conflict; Construction of Documents. In the
event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the
other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The
parties hereto acknowledge that each is represented by separate
counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents
and that the Loan
Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning
against the party that drafted them.
92
Section
10. 19 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The Loan
Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing
contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than
the Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance
or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.
(a)
Lender is making the Loan in consideration of the receipt by Lender of all
interest and other benefits intended to be conferred by the Loan Documents and
(b) if payments of Principal are made to Lender prior to the Stated Maturity
Date, for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary, as a result of Lender's
acceleration of the Loan after an Event of Default, by operation of law or
otherwise, Lender will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may,
in addition, incur costs. For these reasons, and to induce Lender to make the
Loan, Borrower agrees that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, all
prepayments, if any, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be accompanied by
the Yield Maintenance Premium. Such Yield Maintenance Premium shall be required
whether payment is made by Borrower, by a Person on behalf of Borrower, or by
the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lender
at such sale. Borrower further acknowledges that (A) it is a knowledgeable real
estate developer and/or investor; (B) it fully understands the effect of the
provisions of this Section 10.20, as well as the other provisions of the Loan
Documents; (C) the making of the Loan by Lender at the Interest Rate and other
terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient consideration for
Borrower's obligation to pay a Yield Maintenance Premium (if required); and (D)
Lender would not make the Loan on the terms set forth herein without the
inclusion of such provisions. Borrower also acknowledges that the provisions of
this Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment of
the Yield Maintenance Premium and other charges specified herein were
independently negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific material
part of the consideration given by Borrower to Lender for the making of the Loan
except as expressly permitted hereunder.
Section
10.21 Assignment. The
Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender's rights, title, obligations
and interests therein may be assigned by Lender and any of its successors
and assigns to any Person at any time in its discretion, in whole or in part,
whether by
operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or
otherwise. Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Agreement and
in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in
interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in
the place of Lender. Borrower may not assign its rights, title, interests or
obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents except as
specifically provided in Sections 5.26.5 and 5.26.6 of this Agreement. In
connection with any assignment, the new Lender shall provide notice to Borrower
of the identity, address and other pertinent information pertaining to the new
Lender.
Section
10.22 Set-Off. In
addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Loan Agreement
and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any
such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by
applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder
(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and
appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other
credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case
93
whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time
held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the
account of Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such
set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application.
Section
10.23 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of
which shall
together constitute one and the same instrument.
