If such Foreign Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this paragraph), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Whenever any Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Xxxxxxxx, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, a certified copy thereof showing payment of such Indemnified Tax, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
42
(vii) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(A) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, capital adequacy, tax, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of SOFR hereunder;
(B) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Xxxxxx’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or
(C) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable as determined by Lender. If Xxxxxx becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days’ notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
43
(viii) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (A) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a SOFR Loan (or Alternate Rate Loan), including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a SOFR Loan (or Alternate Rate Loan) hereunder, (B) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the SOFR Loan (or Alternate Rate Loan) on a day that is not a Monthly Payment Date, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the SOFR Loan (or Alternate Rate Loan) hereunder and (C) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Interest Rate from the SOFR Rate to the Alternate Rate with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest based on the SOFR Rate on a date other than the last day of an Interest Accrual Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a SOFR Loan or Alternate Rate Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (A), (B) and (C) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Xxxxxx’s gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct. This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(ix) Intentionally Omitted.
(x) Status of Lender.
(1) If Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, Lender shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by Xxxxxxxx, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in (2)(A), (2)(B) and (2)(D) below) shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Lender.
(2) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A) If Lender is a U.S. Person, Lender shall deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
44
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower ), whichever of the following is applicable:
(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(ii) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRS Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRS Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRS Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRS Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable;
(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower ), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRS Code, as applicable), Lender shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRS Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that Xxxxxx has complied with Xxxxxx’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
45
Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(xi) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.5(b)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (x) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (x), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (x) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(c) Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue unpaid interest in respect of the Loan, shall each accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date the applicable Event of Default occurred, (ii) without limitation of any rights or remedies contained herein and/or in any other Loan Document, any interest accrued at the Default Rate in excess of the interest component of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall, to the extent not already paid and/or due and payable hereunder, be due and payable on each Monthly Payment Date and (iii) all references herein and/or in any other Loan Document to the “Interest Rate” shall be deemed to refer to the Default Rate.
46
(d) Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as then applicable, expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (c) the outstanding principal balance. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Monthly Payment Date shall be the Interest Accrual Period in which the related Monthly Payment Date occurs. Borrower understands and acknowledges that such interest accrual requirement results in more interest accruing on the Loan than if either a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year or the actual number of days and a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year were used to compute the accrual of interest on the Loan.
(e) Usury Savings. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan (including, to the extent applicable, any prepayment premium and/or penalty) at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder (including, to the extent applicable, any prepayment premium and/or penalty) at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, and/or, to the extent applicable, any prepayment premium and/or penalty shall, in each case, be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under 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 Loan (including, to the extent applicable, any prepayment premium and/or penalty) does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
(f) Use of Proceeds. Borrower used the proceeds of the Loan to (a) pay a portion of the consideration in connection with the acquisition of the Properties and/or the Collateral, (b) repay existing financing encumbering certain of the Properties, (c) intentionally omitted, (d) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, as reasonably approved by Xxxxxx, (e) distribute the balance, if any, to the direct or indirect parent of the Borrower and (f) for general corporate purposes.
Section 2.6. Loan Payments.
(a) Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only on the Closing Date for the period from (and including) the Closing Date through (and including) the fourteenth (14th) day of either (i) the month in which the Closing Date occurs (if the Closing Date occurs on or before the fourteenth (14th) day of such month), or (ii) the month following the month in which the Closing Date occurs (if the Closing Date occurs on or after the fifteenth (15th) day of the then current calendar month); provided, however, if the Closing Date is the fourteenth (14th) day of a calendar month, no such separate payment of interest shall be due. Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest in the amount of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount on the First Monthly Payment Date and on each Monthly Payment Date occurring thereafter to and including the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Loan is funded into escrow prior to the Closing Date then interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from and including the date of such deposit into escrow.
47
(b) On the First Monthly Payment Date and on each Monthly Payment Date occurring thereafter, so long as no Trigger Period then exists (and in which case, Section 9.1(b) and Section 9.3 hereof shall apply), Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to pay to Mortgage Administrative Agent an amount equal to all Excess Cash Flow (after (x) all required expenses or reserves including Ground Rent, Taxes, Insurance Premiums, Debt Service (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement), Replacements, leasing allowances or costs and management fees (in each case, incurred in compliance with this Agreement), (y) Mortgage Borrowers’ share of any Required REIT Distributions and (z) all other amounts due and payable under the Mortgage Loan and Operating Expenses, any other amounts due and owing to Mortgage Administrative Agent and/or servicer under the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and/or of the other Mortgage Loan Documents and Debt Service under the Loan Documents have been so expended solely for such purposes) accumulated during the calendar month ended prior to such Monthly Payment Date to be applied in accordance with Sections 2.6(b) and 2.7(a) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Mortgage Administrative Agent shall allocate such Excess Cash Flow between the Mortgage Loan and the Loan on a pro rata basis based on the amount of the Mortgage Loan and the amount of the Loan.
(c) Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Interest Shortfall).
(d) If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents, other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law 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. Any such amount shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(e) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
(f) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be deemed to be the immediately preceding Business Day.
48
(g) All payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto.
(h) Borrower shall pay to Lender the Make-Whole Amount upon the earlier of an Event of Default or repayment or prepayment of the Loan in full.
Section 2.7. Prepayments.
(a) Voluntary Prepayment. Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt in full or in part at any time and from time to time; provided, that, (A) no Event of Default is continuing as of the date of the applicable prepayment (other than for any prepayment in connection with a Default Release or the prepayment of the Debt in full in accordance with Section 2.7(c) hereof); (B) Borrower gives Lender not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice (which notice shall be revocable and subject to modification) (a “Prepayment Notice”) of the amount of the Loan that Borrower intends to prepay and the intended date of prepayment; (C) if such prepayment is made during the period commencing on the first calendar day immediately following a Monthly Payment Date to, but not including, the Periodic Term SOFR Determination Date (or if the Benchmark is not the Term SOFR Reference Rate, the Determination Date) in such calendar month, Borrower shall pay to Lender the Interest Shortfall amount for the current and next Interest Accrual Period, if any, estimated by Lender to be due in connection with such prepayment; provided, that once the Interest Rate for the next occurring Interest Accrual Period can be determined, Lender shall calculate the actual amount of interest required to be paid by Borrower for such prepayment and (x) if the Interest Shortfall paid to Lender is in excess of the amount required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.7(a)(i), Lender shall promptly return to Borrower such excess amount and (y) if the Interest Shortfall is less than the amount required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.7(a)(i) Borrower shall pay to Lender within three (3) Business Days of notice from Lender, the amount of such deficiency; and (D) Borrower pays Lender, in addition to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan to be prepaid, (x) all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Debt to be prepaid through and including the last day of the Interest Accrual Period related to the Monthly Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment, or, if such prepayment occurs on a Monthly Payment Date, interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Debt to be prepaid through and including the last day of the Interest Accrual Period related to such Monthly Payment Date (all such interest payable under this clause (x), the “Additional Interest”); and (y) (I) all other sums due and payable under this Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to the Make-Whole Amount (in the case of prepayment of the Loan in full) and actual Breakage Costs (if any and provided that if such prepayment includes the payment of Additional Interest, no Breakage Costs shall be payable to Lender) and (II) all of Xxxxxx’s reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable actually incurred attorneys’ fees and disbursements) actually incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment or in connection with a rescinded or extended Prepayment Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.7(a), Borrower may rescind a Prepayment Notice upon delivery of written notice to Lender on or prior to the date specified for prepayment in the Prepayment Notice; provided Borrower shall be responsible for the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Lender in connection with the rescission of such Prepayment Notice, including any applicable actual Breakage Costs and reasonable actually incurred attorneys’ fees. If Xxxxxxxx makes a partial prepayment of the Debt in accordance with this Section 2.7(a) and if, after giving effect to such partial prepayment, the outstanding principal amount of the Debt is less than the Minimum Loan Amount, Borrower shall be required to simultaneously prepay the Debt in full in accordance with this Section 2.7(a). Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, concurrently with any voluntary prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.7(a), a simultaneous pro-rata prepayment of the Mortgage Loan shall be made and Borrower shall provide Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of such prepayment of the Mortgage Loan. Borrower shall not permit any Mortgage Borrower to make any voluntary prepayment of the Mortgage Loan unless Borrower shall make a simultaneous pro-rata prepayment of the Loan in accordance with this Section 2.7(a).
49
(b) Mandatory Prepayment. Subject to Section 2.7(b) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, in the event of (i) any Casualty to all or any portion of an Individual Property, (ii) any Condemnation of all or any portion of an Individual Property, (iii) a transfer of an Individual Property or any portion thereof in connection with the enforcement of remedies under the Mortgage Loan Documents after the occurrence of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default, including, without limitation, a foreclosure sale or public auction, or any Sale or Pledge of all or any portion of an Individual Property that is prohibited by this Agreement, (iv) any refinancing of the Property or the Mortgage Loan or any payoff of the Mortgage Loan, or (v) the receipt by Mortgage Borrower of any excess proceeds realized under its owner’s title insurance policy after application of such proceeds by Mortgage Borrower to cure any title defect (each, a “Liquidation Event”), Borrower shall cause the related Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to be remitted to Lender (or as directed by Xxxxxx) directly (or, if such direct remittance is not commercially practicable, paid to Lender (or as directed by Xxxxxx) promptly, but in no event later than within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof) and Lender shall be reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the reasonable expense of any appraisal obtained by Lender in case of a Liquidation Event that is a Casualty or Condemnation or receipt by Mortgage Borrower of any excess proceeds received under its own title insurance policy). On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, Borrower shall apply any such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service actually received by Borrower or Lender to prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, any amounts of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service in excess of the Debt shall be paid to Borrower. Once Borrower has knowledge that a Liquidation Event has occurred, Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, promptly deliver written notice of such Liquidation Event to Lender. Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of (i)(x) a sale (other than a foreclosure sale) of all or any portion of the Property on the date on which a contract of sale for such sale is entered into and (y) a foreclosure sale on the date written notice of such foreclosure sale is given to Borrower and (ii) a refinancing of all or any portion of the Property on the date on which a binding commitment for such refinancing has been entered into. The provisions of this Section 2.7(b) shall not be construed to contravene in any manner the restrictions and other provisions regarding refinancing of the Mortgage Loan or the Sale or Pledge of the Property set forth in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Documents.
(c) Prepayments After Default. If payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds) during the continuance of an Event of Default, such tender or recovery shall be made on the next occurring Monthly Payment Date together with the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount and shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.7(a) hereof.
50
(d) Intentionally Omitted.
(e) Minimum Loan Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any Loan Document, if, after giving effect to any prepayment of the Debt (including in connection with a property release under Section 2.10 hereof), the outstanding principal amount of the Debt is less than the Minimum Loan Amount, Borrower shall be required to simultaneously prepay the Debt in full in accordance with Section 2.7(a) hereof.
Section 2.8. Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
(a) Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower Interest Rate Cap Party shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a SOFR strike rate equal to the Strike Rate. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall be in a form and substance acceptable to Lender, (ii) shall at all times be with a Counterparty, (iii) shall at all times be for a duration at least equal to the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which the then current Stated Maturity Date occurs, and (iv) shall at all times have a notional amount equal to or greater than the principal balance of the Loan and shall at all times provide for a strike rate to be equal to the Strike Rate. Borrower Interest Rate Cap Party shall direct such Counterparty to deposit directly into the Restricted Account, or from and after an Event of Default, as directed by Xxxxxx, any amounts due Borrower Interest Rate Cap Party under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to be outstanding if the Collateral is transferred by foreclosure or assignment in lieu thereof unless the Loan was paid in full. Additionally, Borrower Interest Rate Cap Party shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and any replacements thereof), including, without limitation, its right to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and any replacements thereof), and Borrower shall, and shall cause Counterparty to, deliver to Lender a fully executed Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited as directed by Xxxxxx).
(b) Borrower Interest Rate Cap Party shall comply with all of its material obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower Interest Rate Cap Party or Lender shall be deposited immediately as directed by Xxxxxx. Borrower Interest Rate Cap Party shall take all actions reasonably requested by Xxxxxx to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.
(c) In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty by any Rating Agency below the Minimum Counterparty Rating, Borrower Interest Rate Cap Party shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification with an Interest Rate Cap Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender (and meeting the requirements set forth in this Section 2.8) (a “Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement”) from a Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Lender having a Minimum Counterparty Rating.
51
(d) Borrower Interest Rate Cap Party shall deliver to Lender a new Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement acceptable to Lender in connection with each new Interest Rate Cap Agreement and Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement. In the event that Borrower Interest Rate Cap Party fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.
(e) Each Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall contain the following language or its equivalent: “In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty below (i) a long term rating of “A-” by S&P or (ii) a long term rating of “A3” by Moody’s, the Counterparty must, within ten (10) business days, find a replacement Counterparty, at the Counterparty’s sole cost and expense, acceptable to each Rating Agency and Borrower Interest Rate Cap Party; provided that, notwithstanding such a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification, unless and until the Counterparty transfers the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to a replacement Counterparty, the Counterparty will continue to perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. Failure to satisfy the foregoing shall constitute an “Additional Termination Event” as defined by Section 5(b)(v) of the ISDA Master Agreement, with the Counterparty as the “Affected Party.”” In the event that a Counterparty is required pursuant to the terms of an Interest Rate Cap Agreement to find a replacement Counterparty, Borrower covenants and agrees that Borrower shall seek Xxxxxx’s approval with respect thereto and shall not approve or consent to the foregoing unless and until Xxxxxxxx receives Xxxxxx’s prior written approval and shall approve or consent to the foregoing upon receipt of Xxxxxx’s prior written approval.
(f) With respect to each Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower Interest Rate Cap Party shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty (upon which Xxxxxx and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:
(i) the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement;
(ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;
52
(iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and

The Pledge Agreement, together with the delivery of any certificates evidencing the Equity Interests and the UCC Financing Statement relating to the Collateral, when properly filed in the appropriate records and/or delivered to Lender (as applicable), will create a valid, perfected first-priority security interest in the Collateral.

(d) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest (or may permit Mortgage Borrower to contest) by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral or any Individual Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower or Mortgage Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be permitted by and conducted in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements; (iii) neither the applicable Individual Property, the Collateral nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply (or cause Mortgage Borrower to comply) with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral or the applicable Individual Property; and (vi) to the extent that the aggregate amount being contested by Borrower under this Section 4.2(d) at any time exceeds $2,500,000, Borrower shall (or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to) furnish to Mortgage Administrative Agent such security as may be required by the Mortgage Loan Agreement or, if Mortgage Administrative Agent shall have waived in writing such security, Borrower shall furnish to Lender such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith.

Borrower shall not suffer (or permit to be suffered) and shall promptly cause Mortgage Borrower to discharge or cause each Tenant to discharge any lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against the Property (or any portion thereof), and shall promptly pay or cause Mortgage Borrower to pay or cause each Tenant to pay for all utility services provided to the Property (or any portion thereof).

Subject to Mortgage Administrative Agent’s rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents, Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Xxxxxx, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the applicable Individual Property (or part thereof or interest therein) or the Collateral (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost or there shall be any imminent danger of the lien of the Security Instrument or the Pledge Agreement being primed by any related lien.

Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Period, the budget currently in place will be deemed approved and the Lender and Mortgage Administrative Agent will have a reasonable approval right over the next annual budget issued (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) provided that the Trigger Period is still in effect.

In the event that, during any Trigger Period, Xxxxxxxx proposes to incur an extraordinary operating expense or capital expense that is not consistent with the Approved Annual Budget (each an “Extraordinary Expense”), Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense for Xxxxxx’s approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
78

(a) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to (i) diligently and promptly perform, observe and enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed, observed and enforced to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of Mortgage Borrower under the Management Agreement, (ii) promptly notify Lender of any event of default under the Management Agreement; (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default or other material notice received by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower under the Management Agreement; (iv) promptly give notice to Lender of any notice or information that Borrower or Mortgage Borrower receives which indicates that Manager is terminating the Management Agreement or that Manager is otherwise discontinuing its management of the Property; and (v) promptly enforce the performance and observance of all of the covenants required to be performed and observed by Manager under the Management Agreement in all material respects.

In no instance shall Borrower cause or permit Mortgage Borrower to pass-through any management fees to any Tenant in excess of the amount permitted under the related Lease.
83
(c) Subject to the rights of Mortgage Administrative Agent under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if Mortgage Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Management Agreement on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Mortgage Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Mortgage Borrower, to the end that the rights of Mortgage Borrower in, to and under the Management Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. Lender and any Person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If Manager shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to Mortgage Borrower or Borrower of default under the Management Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon. Borrower shall notify (or cause Mortgage Borrower to notify) Lender if Manager sub-contracts to a third party or an Affiliate any or all of its management responsibilities under the Management Agreement.

The foregoing consent right of Lender (including, without limitation, any reserve requirement) shall not be subject to any “cap” or similar limit on the amount of Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds held by Mortgage Administrative Agent or, if applicable, Reserve Funds held by Lender.
(j) If (a) an Event of Default or Mortgage Loan Event of Default occurs and is continuing or (b) Manager shall become subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, then, in the case of any of the foregoing, subject to Mortgage Administrative Agent’s rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender (such request being made no less than thirty (30) days in advance if there is an Event of Default or Mortgage Loan Event of Default continuing), cause Mortgage Borrower to terminate the Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a Qualified Manager pursuant to a Qualified Management Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the base management fee for such Qualified Manager shall not exceed then-prevailing market rates (and in no event shall such management fee exceed, with respect to each Individual Property, three percent (3.0%) of gross revenues attributable to such Individual Property to which such Qualified Management Agreement relates).

(b) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower or Mortgage Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Work Charge, the applicability of any Work Charge to Mortgage Borrower or to any Individual Property or any alleged non-payment of any Work Charge and defer paying the same, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower or Mortgage Borrower is subject is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements; (iii) neither the applicable Individual Property or any part thereof nor the Collateral or any part thereof or interest therein will be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly upon final determination thereof pay (or cause to be paid) any such contested Work Charge determined to be valid, applicable or unpaid; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Work Charge from the applicable Individual Property or Borrower shall have caused Mortgage Borrower to have paid the same (or shall have caused the same to be paid) under protest; and (vi) to the extent that the aggregate amount being contested by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower under this Section 4.16(b) at any time exceeds $2,500,000, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to furnish (or cause to be furnished) to Mortgage Administrative Agent such security as may be required under the Mortgage Loan Documents, or if Mortgage Administrative Agent shall have waived in writing such security, Borrower shall furnish to Lender such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Xxxxxx, to insure payment of such Work Charge, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Subject to the rights of Mortgage Administrative Agent under the Mortgage Loan Documents, Lender may apply any such security or part thereof, as necessary to pay for such Work Charge at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or non-payment of such Work Charge is finally established or the applicable Individual Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in present danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by a Lease, a Tenant may contest by appropriate legal proceeding the validity of any Work Charge, the applicability of any Work Charge to Tenant or to any Individual Property or any alleged non-payment of any Work Charge and defer paying the same in accordance with the provisions of the Lease, provided that Borrower complies with the terms and conditions of this Section 4.16(b).

If the landlord under the Ground Lease shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default under the Ground Lease, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Xxxxxx, in good faith, in reliance thereon. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not permit any Borrower Party or any Affiliate of any Borrower Party to acquire the fee interest in the Property (the “Fee Acquisition”); provided that Borrower may permit the applicable Individual Mortgage Borrower to enter into a Fee Acquisition and terminate the Ground Lease so long as Borrower causes Mortgage Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, to comply with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents and provide evidence thereof to Lender in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.
91
(c) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of the Ground Lease prior to the applicable deadline set forth in such Ground Lease (the “Renewal Deadline”), and, subject to the rights of Mortgage Administrative Agent under the Mortgage Loan Documents, Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of Borrower and/or the applicable Individual Mortgage Borrower, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.

In addition, Borrower shall cause Lender to be named as an additional insured under the liability Policies required under the Mortgage Loan Agreement.

Subject to the rights of Mortgage Administrative Agent under the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to (and cause Mortgage Borrower to deliver to) Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, at Borrower’s or Mortgage Borrower’s expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, to consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and to cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings.

Subject to the rights of Mortgage Administrative Agent under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, Accounts and the funds deposited therein shall constitute additional security for the Debt.

Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Accounts; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
(f) Borrower and Lender (or Servicer on behalf of Lender) shall maintain each applicable Account as an Eligible Account, except as otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by Xxxxxx. In the event that Lender or Servicer no longer satisfies the criteria for an Eligible Institution, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in transferring the applicable Accounts to an institution that satisfies such criteria.

Any such application to the Debt shall be subject to the terms and conditions hereof relating to application of sums to the Debt. Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit: (i) if Xxxxxx has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least forty five (45) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (ii) if Lender has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter of Credit at least forty five (45) days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least forty five (45) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (iii) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided by no later than forty five (45) days prior to such termination); (iv) if Xxxxxx has received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Approved Bank and Borrower has not substituted a Letter of Credit from an Approved Bank within fifteen (15) days after notice; and/or (v) if the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall fail to (A) issue a replacement Letter of Credit in the event the original Letter of Credit has been lost, mutilated, stolen and/or destroyed or (B) consent to the transfer of the Letter of Credit to any successor or permitted assign designated by Xxxxxx. If Xxxxxx draws upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided no Event of Default exists, Lender shall apply all or any part thereof for the purposes for which such Letter of Credit was established. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Xxxxxx is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Xxxxxx has not drawn the Letter of Credit.

(o) if any of the representations or covenants contained in Section 3.30 hereof or Article 5 hereof (other than those covered in clause (l) above) are, in each instance, breached or violated; provided, however, that in the case of a breach under Section 3.30 or Section 5.1(a), such breach shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder if (i) such breach or violation was inadvertent and capable of being cured, and (ii) within ten (10) Business Days of the date Borrower becomes actually aware of such breach or violation, Borrower cures (or causes to be cured) such breach or violation and provides Lender with satisfactory evidence thereof;

126
(q) if a Mortgage Loan Event of Default occurs and is continuing; provided, however, that in the event the Mortgage Loan Event of Default is no longer continuing because Lender has exercised its right to cure the Mortgage Loan Event of Default pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such Mortgage Loan Event of Default shall be deemed to be still continuing and it shall be an Event of Default hereunder;
(r) if Borrower shall fail to observe, perform or discharge any of Borrower’s material obligations, covenants, conditions or agreements under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and otherwise comply with the material covenants set forth in Section 2.8 hereof;

128
Section 10.2. Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(f) above with respect to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, any SPE Component Entity or any Mortgage SPE Component Entity) and at any time thereafter Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in the Collateral, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents and may exercise the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC against Borrower and the Collateral, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity. Upon any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(f) above with respect to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, any SPE Component Entity or any Mortgage SPE Component Entity, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by applicable law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the Pledge Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
(c) With respect to Borrower and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other portion of the Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose upon the Pledge Agreement in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Pledge Agreement and/or the Security Documents to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Pledge Agreement and/or the Security Documents to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and/or the Security Documents as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and not previously recovered.
129
(d) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledge agreements and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Xxxxxx, a severance agreement and such other documents as Xxxxxx 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 the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Xxxxxx of Xxxxxx’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any amounts recovered from the Collateral (or any portion thereof) or any other collateral for the Loan (including any amounts on deposit in the Mortgage Loan Cash Management Accounts) and/or paid to or received by Lender may, during the continuance of an Event of Default, be applied by Lender toward the Debt and/or for any other purpose for which such funds may be applied by Lender pursuant to the provisions of any Loan Documents, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
(f) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Collateral for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by applicable law), with interest as provided in this Section, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Xxxxxx in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred until the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Xxxxxx therefore.

Section 11.1. Securitization.
(a) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may, at its sole cost and expense other than as set forth in Section 11.1(g) hereof, (i) sell or otherwise transfer the Loan as a whole loan or sell or otherwise transfer or syndicate all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, (ii) sell participation interests in the Loan or (iii) consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated or unrated single-class or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (the transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) above are each herein referred to collectively as “Secondary Market Transactions” and the transactions referred to in clause (iii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Securitization”).
(b) If requested by Xxxxxx, Borrower shall assist Lender in satisfying customary market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with any Secondary Market Transactions, including, without limitation, to:
(i) provide or cause Mortgage Borrower to provide (A) updated financial and other information with respect to the Collateral, the Property, the business operated at the Property, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor, any SPE Component Entity, any Mortgage SPE Component Entity, Manager, the Management Agreements, the Property Documents, the Ground Leases, the PILOT Leases, the PILOT Documents and any Tenant, (B) updated budgets relating to the Property, (C) updated appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), property condition reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property (the “Updated Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification of the Updated Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies and (D) to the extent that the agreement or consent of any relevant third-parties can reasonably be obtained, as applicable, revisions to and other agreements with respect to the Property Documents in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender and acceptable to the Rating Agencies; provided that Borrower shall not be required to provide additional information regarding the identity of any indirect investors in Borrower (or their respective Affiliates);
131
(ii) provide new and/or updated opinions of counsel, which may be relied upon by Xxxxxx, the Rating Agencies and their respective counsel, agents and representatives, as to substantive non-consolidation, fraudulent conveyance, matters of Delaware and federal bankruptcy law relating to limited liability companies, true sale, true lease and any other opinion customary in Secondary Market Transactions or required by the Rating Agencies with respect to the Property, the Collateral, Property Documents, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower and each of their respective Affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and satisfactory in form and substance to the Rating Agencies;
(iii) provide updated, as of the closing date of the Secondary Market Transaction, representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents and such additional representations and warranties as the Rating Agencies may require; and
(iv) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents, Mortgage Loan Documents, the Property Documents, and Borrower’s, Mortgage Borrower’s, any SPE Component Entity’s or any Mortgage SPE Component Entity’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect any Secondary Market Transaction, including, without limitation, (A) amend and/or supplement the Independent Director provisions provided herein and therein, in each case, in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Rating Agencies, (B) bifurcating the Loan into (I) one or more participations or (II) one or more component and/or additional separate notes and/or creating additional senior/subordinate note structure(s) and reallocating the principal amount of the Loan and the Spread among such components and/or notes evidencing the Loan and/or the Mortgage Loan (any of the foregoing, a “Loan Bifurcation”) and (C) to modify all operative dates (including but not limited to payment dates, interest period start dates and end dates, etc.) under the Loan Documents, by up to ten (10) days; provided, however, that (I) the outstanding principal amount of such participations, loans, components and/or notes shall equal the outstanding principal amount of the Loan immediately prior to the creation thereof and (II) Borrower shall not be required to so modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would require amortization of the Loan, change the weighted average Spread or the stated maturity (except as provided in subclause (C) above) (it being agreed that that the weighted average Spread may subsequently change as a result of (x) after a rated Securitization, any voluntary prepayment of the Loan and Mortgage Loan and (y) any applications to principal during the continuance of an Event of Default or a Mortgage Loan Event of Default; provided, further, that (i) the Stated Maturity Date shall not be affected and the time periods during which Borrower is permitted to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents shall not be decreased; (ii) no such bifurcation or reallocation shall require any amortization of the Loan, (iii) there shall be no modification of the Loan Documents except to reflect the creation of such loans, participations, components or notes and the loan documents relating to such loans, components and/or notes shall be in substantially the form of the Loan Documents and (iv) neither Borrower nor Guarantor shall be required to enter into any amendment which increases Borrower’s or Guarantor’s liability under the Loan Documents in any material respect or decreases Borrower’s or Guarantor’s rights under the Loan Documents in any material respect. For avoidance of doubt, at all times the weighted average Interest Rate of all components of the Loan shall equal the weighted average Interest Rate at Closing; provided, however, that the weighted average Interest Rate may subsequently change as a result of (x) after a rated Securitization, any voluntary prepayment of the Loan and (y) any applications to principal during the continuance of an Event of Default.
132
(c) If, at the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, Lender expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Property or Collateral alone or the Property and Related Properties collectively or the Collateral and Related Collateral collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrower shall furnish to Lender upon request (without duplication and to the extent not previously provided) (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, net operating income, required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization, or (ii) the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization. Such financial data or financial statements shall be furnished to Lender (A) within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Lender in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization, (B) not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrower and (C) not later than seventy-five (75) days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial statements pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) of this sentence with respect to any period for which a filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to the Securitization (an “Exchange Act Filing”) is not required. If requested by Xxxxxx, Borrower shall furnish to Lender financial data and/or financial statements for any tenant of the Property (in Borrower’s possession or control and permitted to be disclosed) if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects there to be, with respect to such tenant or group of Affiliated tenants, a concentration within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization such that such tenant or group of Affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor.
(d) All financial data and statements provided by Borrower hereunder shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and other applicable legal requirements. All financial statements referred to in this Section shall be audited by Deloitte, Ernst & Young, RSM McGladrey, Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, PwC or other independent certified public accountant reasonably approved by Lender in accordance with Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, shall be accompanied by the manually executed report of the independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, and shall be further accompanied by a manually executed written consent of the independent accountants, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, to the inclusion of such financial statements in any Disclosure Document and any Exchange Act Filing and to the use of the name of such independent accountants and the reference to such independent accountants as “experts” in any Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of which shall be provided at the same time as the related financial statements are required to be provided. All financial data and statements (audited or unaudited) provided by Borrower under this Section shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, which certification shall state that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this subsection (d).
133
(e) If requested by Xxxxxx, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall determine to be required pursuant to Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements in connection with any Disclosure Document or any Exchange Act Filing or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender, in each case, to the extent reasonably available to Borrower.
(f) In the event Lender determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the financial data and financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, Lender may request, and Borrower shall promptly provide, such other financial data and financial statements as Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate for such compliance, in each case, to the extent reasonably available to Borrower.
(g) All reasonable out-of-pocket third-party costs and expenses incurred by Xxxxxxxx and Guarantor in connection with Borrower’s compliance with requests made under this Article 11 (including any documentary stamp, intangible or other mortgage taxes) and any fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies incurred in connection with a syndication and/or Securitization of the Loan shall be paid by Borrower, including any AUP costs incurred before or after the Closing Date.

134
(b) Lender shall cause to be delivered to Borrower the Disclosure Documents for review and comment by Borrower at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date upon which Borrower is otherwise required to confirm such Disclosure Documents. Xxxxxxxx agrees to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an indemnification agreement (i) certifying that (A) Borrower has, at Xxxxxx’s request in connection with each Securitization, reviewed the Disclosure Documents as follows: (x) with respect to the offering circular, the sections entitled “Executive Summary of Offering Circular”, “Description of the Properties”, “Description of the Borrower, the Guarantor and Related Parties”, “Description of the Property Manager” (if the Manager is an Affiliated Manager), “Description of the Management Agreement”, “Description of the Ground Leases”, “Description of PILOT Lease and PILOT Documents,” “Description of the Condominium Documents”, “Use of Proceeds,” and “Annex E – Representations and Warranties of the Borrowers” (or sections similarly titled or covering similar subject matters) and (y) with respect to the term sheet, all sections, solely to the extent the foregoing in (x) and (y) relate to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, any SPE Component Entity, any Mortgage SPE Component Entity, any Sponsor, Guarantor, Manager (if the Manager is an Affiliated Manager), the Properties and the Collateral, excluding (I) any underwritten financial information (except to the extent such underwritten financial information is included in the Provided Information), (II) any information (including financial information or forecasted information) that is solely obtained from any third party report, including, without limitation appraisals, property condition reports or environmental reports, (III) any electronic media (except those portions of Annex A that are not otherwise excluded pursuant to this clause (A) and Annex E), (IV) any financial projections or reforecasts relating to the performance of the Properties and the other collateral for the Loan (except to the extent such projections or reforecasts are included in the Provided Information), (V) any statements and information relating to the cities and regions in which the Properties are located (other than the Property addresses), including local market information and local market performance data, and (VI) any Provided Information solely furnished to the Rating Agencies in connection with the monitoring and/or maintaining of the Securities (collectively with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”), and (B) the Covered Disclosure Information and representations contained in such Sections do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender and any Affiliate of Lender that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of Lender that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, reasonable costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the “Liabilities”)) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject (whether or not arising from any third-party claim) insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (B) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information based upon information provided to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or its Affiliates, and (iii) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities.

(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower jointly and severally agrees to indemnify (i) the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Person 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 in the Covered Disclosure Information, or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (A) the Borrower shall not be responsible for (x) any liabilities relating to untrue statements or omissions in any Covered Disclosure Information which Borrower provided notice to Lender in writing prior to the applicable filings under the Exchange Act, or (y) any liabilities relating to any filings under the Exchange Act (or the applicable provisions thereof) that Borrower is not first provided an opportunity to review; and (B) with respect to any filings under the Exchange Act of materials not provided by Borrower (or not required to be provided by Borrower), the Borrower shall not be liable for any misstatements or omissions in the applicable filings under the Exchange Act relating to such information resulting from Xxxxxx’s failure to accurately transcribe written information by or on behalf of the Borrower to Lender unless Borrower was provided a reasonable opportunity to review such filings under the Exchange Act of such materials not provided by Borrower (or the applicable portions thereof) and failed to notify Lender of such misstatements or omissions.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 11.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 11.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof (but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party). In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) 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 xxxxxxxxxxxx to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 11.2, such indemnifying party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnifying party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party 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 additional to those available to the indemnifying party, 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 at the cost of the indemnifying party.
136
(e) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 11.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt. Failure by Borrower to comply with the provisions of Section 11.1 and/or Section 11.2 within the timeframes specified therein shall, at Lender’s option, constitute a breach of the terms thereof and/or an Event of Default. Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to take any actions required of Borrower under Sections 11.1, 11.2, and/or 11.6 in the event Borrower fails to do the same, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.

In the event that Securities are issued in connection with the Loan, all funds held by Xxxxxx in escrow or pursuant to reserves in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deposited in “eligible accounts” at “eligible institutions” and, to the extent applicable, invested in “permitted investments” as then defined and required by the Rating Agencies.
137
Section 11.4. Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/special servicer/trustee selected by Lender (collectively, the “Servicer”) and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to such Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement between Lender and such Servicer. Without limitation of any other provision contained herein, Lender shall be responsible for the set-up costs and other initial costs relating to or arising under the applicable servicing agreement with Servicer and Borrower shall not be responsible for the payment of the regular monthly master servicing fee or any other fees and expenses of the Servicer under the servicing agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall promptly reimburse Lender on demand for (a) all actual out-of-pocket reasonable costs and expenses incurred for enforcement of the Loan, liquidation fees, workout fees, special servicing fees, operating advisor fees, certificate administrator fees or any other similar fees, (b) to the extent late charges and default interest under the Loan Documents paid by Borrower are insufficient to pay the same, interest payable on advances made by Servicer or the trustee with respect to (i) delinquent Debt Service payments or expenses related to curing an Event of Default, payable by Lender to Servicer or a trustee and provided for under any servicing agreement or actual out of pocket reasonable expenses paid by Servicer or a trustee in respect of the protection and preservation of any Property or the Collateral (including, without limitation, payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums), (ii) as a result of an Event of Default under the Loan or the Loan becoming specially serviced, an enforcement, refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided for under the Loan Documents in the nature of a “work-out” of the Loan Documents or any insolvency or bankruptcy of Borrower or (iii) the documentation of a conversion of the Benchmark and any related Conforming Changes, and (c) during the continuance of an Event of Default, the costs of all property inspections and/or appraisals of the Properties (or any updates to any existing inspection or appraisal) that Servicer may be required to obtain (other than the cost of regular annual inspections required to be borne by Servicer under any servicing agreement). Additionally, Borrower shall pay the customary and reasonable servicing fees in connection with any special requests made by Borrower during the term of the Loan.
Section 11.5. Rating Agency Costs. In connection with any Rating Agency Confirmation or other Rating Agency consent, approval or review required hereunder (other than the initial review of the Loan by the Rating Agencies in connection with a Securitization), Borrower shall pay all of the costs and expenses of Lender, Servicer and each Rating Agency in connection therewith, and, if applicable, shall pay any fees imposed by any Rating Agency in connection therewith.
Section 11.6. New Mezzanine Option. Borrower acknowledges that Mortgage Lender shall have the options set forth in Section 11.6 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrower shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, cooperate with Mortgage Lender and Lender in Mortgage Lender’s exercise, from time to time, of any and all of such options in good faith and in a timely manner, which such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, cooperating with respect to all of the actions, items and things specified and/or referenced in Section 11.6 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
138
Section 11.7. Registered Form. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Note is, and any other promissory notes issued under the Loan Documents shall be, registered as to both principal and any stated interest. Lender or Servicer, acting for this purpose solely as a non-fiduciary agent of Xxxxxxxx, shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the name and address of each Lender, the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees due it hereunder (any such amount a “Borrower Obligation”) and whether such Lender is the original Lender or an assignee pursuant to an assignment permitted under this Agreement. The Register shall be made available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and Xxxxxxxx and Lender shall treat the Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of any Borrower Obligation held by such holder, as indicated in the Register, for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register is intended to be maintained in such a manner as to cause the Note to be considered to be in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the IRS Code. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement.

(c) In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among Borrowers in the event that any Contribution is made by an individual Borrower (a “Funding Borrower”), such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement Contribution (“Reimbursement Contribution”) from all other Borrowers for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Borrower in discharging any of the Obligations, in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section.
(d) For purposes hereof, the “Benefit Amount” of any individual Borrower as of any date of determination shall be the net value of the benefits to such Borrower and its Affiliates from extensions of credit made by Lender to (i) such Borrower and (ii) to the other Borrowers hereunder and the Loan Documents to the extent such other Borrowers have guaranteed or pledged their collateral to secure the Obligations of such Borrower to Lender.
(e) Each Borrower shall be liable to a Funding Borrower in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the (A) ratio of the Benefit Amount of such Borrower to the total amount of Obligations, multiplied by (B) the amount of Obligations paid by such Funding Borrower, or (ii) ninety-five percent (95%) of the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Borrower over the total liabilities of such Borrower (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a Funding Borrower is deemed made for purposes hereof (giving effect to all payments made by other Funding Borrowers as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such Contributions).
(f) In the event that at any time there exists more than one Funding Borrower with respect to any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then Reimbursement Contributions from other Borrowers pursuant hereto shall be allocated among such Funding Borrowers in proportion to the total amount of the Contribution made for or on account of the other Borrowers by each such Funding Borrower pursuant to the Applicable Contribution. In the event that at any time any Borrower pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this Section above, that Borrower shall be deemed to be a Funding Borrower to the extent of such excess and shall be entitled to a Reimbursement Contribution from the other Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this Section.
(g) Each Borrower acknowledges that the right to Reimbursement Contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of Borrower to which such Reimbursement Contribution is owing.
(h) No Reimbursement Contribution payments payable by a Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Section shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by all of Borrowers to Lender, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, are paid in full in cash. Nothing contained in this Section shall limit or affect in any way the Obligations of any Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents.
(i) To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, each Borrower waives:
(i) any right to require Lender to proceed against any other Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Xxxxxx at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Xxxxxx’s power before proceeding against Xxxxxxxx;
158
(ii) any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other Borrower, any guarantor of any other Person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other Borrower or any guarantor from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Loan Documents;
(iii) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower;
(iv) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal;
(v) any defense based upon any failure by Xxxxxx to obtain collateral for the indebtedness or failure by Xxxxxx to perfect a lien on any collateral;
(vi) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind;
(vii) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition of any collateral to any other Borrower or to any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of any collateral;
(viii) Reserved;
(ix) any defense based upon any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(x) any defense based upon any agreement or stipulation entered into by Lender with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding;
(xi) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(xii) any defense based upon the avoidance of any security interest in favor of Xxxxxx for any reason;
(xiii) any defense based upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations evidenced by the Note or owing under any of the Loan Documents;
(xiv) any defense or benefit based upon Xxxxxxxx’s, or any other party’s, resignation of the portion of any obligation secured by the Security Instrument to be satisfied by any payment from any other Borrower or any such party;
159
(xv) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Xxxxxx even though the election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Loan or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, has destroyed Xxxxxxxx’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Borrower; and
(xvi) all rights and defenses that Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by personal property. This means, among other things (subject to the other terms and conditions of the Loan Documents): (1) Lender may collect from Borrower without first foreclosing on any personal property collateral pledged by any other Borrower, and (2) if Lender forecloses on any personal property collateral pledged by any other Borrower, (I) the amount of the Debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price and (II) Lender may collect from Borrower even if any other Borrower, by foreclosing on the personal property collateral, has destroyed any right Borrower may have to collect from any other Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by personal property; and except as may be expressly and specifically permitted herein, any claim or other right which Borrower might now have or hereafter acquire against any other Borrower or any other Person that arises from the existence or performance of any obligations under the Loan Documents, including any of the following: (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification; or (ii) any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against any other Borrower or any collateral security therefor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law.
Section 17.20. Reinstatement of Debt. If, on account of the subordination of the Loan to the Mortgage Loan, Lender is required to remit to Mortgage Administrative Agent any amount theretofore paid to Lender hereunder, then such amount shall continue to be owing pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as part of the Debt, notwithstanding the prior receipt of such payment by Xxxxxx.
Section 17.21. Intercreditor Agreement. Lender and Mortgage Administrative Agent on behalf of Mortgage Lender are parties to a certain intercreditor agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) memorializing their relative rights and obligations with respect to the Loan, the Mortgage Loan, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral and the Property. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) such Intercreditor Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of Lender, Mortgage Administrative Agent and Mortgage Lender and (ii) Borrower and Mortgage Borrower are not intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein and shall not be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Neither Lender nor Mortgage Administrative Agent shall have any obligation to disclose to Borrower or Mortgage Borrower the contents of the Intercreditor Agreement. Xxxxxxxx’s obligations hereunder are independent of such Intercreditor Agreement and remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof. In no event shall Borrower be bound by, or be charged with knowledge of, the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement.
160
Section 17.22. Administrative Agent. In addition to any other rights of Lender, Lender may designate one or more administrative and/or collateral agents to act on behalf of the Lender in one or more respects as determined by Xxxxxx from time to time (any such administrative agent or collateral agent, an “Administrative Agent”) and thereafter to remove or replace any such Administrative Agent from time to time. In the event of any appointment of an Administrative Agent, any Liens granted and created in favor of the “Lender” under this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be held, and shall be deemed for all purposes under this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be held, by such Administrative Agent as agent on behalf of Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx’s transferees, assignees and successors from time to time holding interests in the Loan.
Section 17.23. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
Section 17.24. Unintended Payments.
(a) If BREF VI Holdings LLC, any Affiliate thereof, or any agent thereof (including, without limitation, any Servicer or administrative agent acting on said Person’s behalf) (individually and/or collectively, the “Payor Party”) notifies Borrower, any Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of said Borrower or Lender (any such Borrower, Lender or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Payor Party has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Payor Party or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Borrower, Lender, or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Payor Party and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Payor Party, and such Borrower or Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Payor Party the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Payor Party in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Payor Party in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Payor Party to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
161
(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Payor Party (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Payor Party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Payor Party (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:
(i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Payor Party to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii) such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Payor Party of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Payor pursuant to this Section 17.24(b).
(c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Payor Party to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Payor Party to such Lender from any source, against any amount due to the Payor Party under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement or any co-lender agreement entered into by and among any such Lender and any Payor Party.
(d) Intentionally Omitted.
(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents by the Borrower, Guarantor, or any Affiliate thereof, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Payor Party from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Payor Party for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
162
(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 17.24 shall survive the resignation or replacement of any Payor Party hereunder, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Debt and all other obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
