Each interest accrual period thereafter shall commence on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the term of the Loan and shall end on and include the final calendar date of such calendar month (the “Accrual Period”). For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Accrual Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day and with respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever. All payments due on account of the Loan and for any obligations due under the Loan Documents shall be made on a pro rata, pari passu basis with respect to Senior Mezzanine Note A-1, Senior Mezzanine Note A-2 and Senior Mezzanine Note A-3.

Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (i) in the event of a non-monetary default, the cure of such Event of Default by Borrower, and (ii) in the event of a monetary default, the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date
-29-
of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default and Lender retains its rights under the Note and this Agreement to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default.
2.2.7
Late Payment Charge.

If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. 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 does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its assets, businesses and operations. Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its assets and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the sole business of Borrower is the ownership and management of Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner. The ownership interests in Borrower are as set forth on the organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule X.
4.1.2
Proceedings. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and such other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
4.1.3
No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of
-37-
any Lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any partnership agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s property or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Maryland Owner, Indemnitor, Principal, the Collateral or any Individual Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Maryland Owner, Indemnitor, Principal, the Collateral or any Individual Property, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Maryland Owner, Indemnitor, Principal or the condition or ownership of the Collateral or any Individual Property.
4.1.5
Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Maryland Owner or any Individual Property, or Borrower’s, Mortgage Borrower’s or Maryland Owner’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. To Borrower’s knowledge, neither Borrower, Mortgage Borrower nor Maryland Owner is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner is a party or by which Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Maryland Owner, the Properties or any of the Collateral are bound. Neither Borrower, Mortgage Borrower nor Maryland Owner has any material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, indemnity deed of trust, deed to secure debt, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner is a party or by which Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Maryland Owner, the Properties or the Collateral is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the ownership of the Collateral and the operation of the Properties as permitted pursuant to clause xxi of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Documents, as applicable.

Title. The Pledgor under the Pledge Agreement is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good title to, the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever.

-38-
4.1.7
Solvency; No Bankruptcy Filing. Borrower has (a) not entered into this transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner, or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, any of its constituent Persons of any of the foregoing in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Maryland Owner, nor to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, any constituent Persons or any of the foregoing in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower, Maryland Owner, Mortgage Borrower, nor any constituent Persons of any of the foregoing are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it, Mortgage Borrower, Maryland Owner, or such constituent Persons of any of the foregoing.
4.1.8
Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, Borrower, the Collateral, Maryland Owner, Mortgage Borrower, any Individual Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner.
4.1.9
No Plan Assets. Borrower does not sponsor, is not obligated to contribute to, and is not itself an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to any state or other statute, regulation or other restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Loan Documents.

Neither Borrower, Mortgage Borrower nor Maryland Owner is in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Maryland Owner or, to Borrower’s knowledge, any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of any Individual Property, any act or omission affording the federal government or any other Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against any Individual Property, or any part thereof, or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. On the Closing Date, the Improvements at each Individual Property were in material compliance with applicable law.

Financial Information. All financial data, including, without limitation, the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of Borrower, the Collateral, Mortgage Borrower, Maryland Owner or the Properties (a) are, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, true, complete and correct in all material respects, (b) accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower, the Collateral, the Mortgage Borrower, Maryland Owner and each Individual Property, as applicable, as of the date of such reports, and (c) to the extent prepared or audited by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein; provided, however, that if any financial data is delivered to Lender by any Person other than Borrower, Indemnitor or any Affiliate of Borrower or Indemnitor, or if such financial data has been prepared by or at the direction of any Person other than Borrower, Indemnitor or any Affiliate of Borrower or Indemnitor, then the foregoing representations with respect to such financial data shall be to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, after due inquiry. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on any Borrower, the Collateral, Mortgage Borrower, Maryland Owner or any Individual Property or the operation thereof as a retail shopping center, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner from that set forth in said financial statements.
4.1.12

To the extent Lender’s written approval is required pursuant to this Section 5.1.20 to any Lease or modification (excluding a Lease for all or substantially all of an Individual Property, the approval of which is required pursuant to Section 5.1.20(b) hereof), Borrower’s written request therefor shall be delivered together with such materials reasonably requested by Lender in order to evaluate such request (it being acknowledged and agreed that no request for consent shall be effective unless and until such materials have been delivered to Lender) and shall conspicuously state, in large bold type, that “PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.1.20 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THIS IS A REQUEST FOR LENDER’S CONSENT. LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUESTED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS. LENDER’S FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN SUCH TIME PERIOD WILL ENABLE BORROWER TO DELIVER A SECOND NOTICE REQUESTING LENDER’S CONSENT”. In the event Lender fails to approve or disapprove to such request within ten (10) Business Days’ of the effective date of such initial request, Borrower may deliver to Lender a second written request for approval, which second written request for approval shall conspicuously state, in large bold type, that “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR LENDER’S CONSENT. LENDER’S CONSENT IS REQUESTED WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS. THE LEASE SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED IF LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE CONTRARY WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS’ OF LENDER’S RECEIPT OF THIS WRITTEN NOTICE”. In the event that Lender fails to approve or disapprove the second written request within such five (5) Business Day period, then Lender’s consent shall be deemed to have been granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Lender’s failure to approve or disapprove a written request from Borrower shall not constitute Lender’s deemed consent of such Lease unless such initial request for approval was delivered to Lender on or after January 15, 2010.
(e)
Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases.
(f)
Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner to (i) observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the tenant thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner and in a manner not to impair the value of the Individual Property involved except that, subject to the terms of this Section 5.1.20, no termination by Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner or acceptance of surrender by a tenant of any Lease shall be permitted without the written consent of Lender which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Lender; (iii) not collect any of the rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) not execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may permit Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner to, without the prior written consent of Lender, terminate (or accept a surrender of) any Lease which demises less than the Relevant Leasing Threshold under any of the following circumstances: (i) the tenant under said Lease is in default beyond any applicable grace and cure period, and Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, has the right to terminate such Lease; (ii) such termination is permitted by the terms of the Lease in question and Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, has secured an obligation from a third party to lease the space under the Lease to be terminated at a rental equal to or higher than the rental due under the Lease to be terminated; and (iii) if the tenant under the Lease to be terminated has executed a right under said Lease to terminate its Lease upon payment of a termination fee to Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, and has in fact terminated its Lease and paid said fee, Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, may accept said termination.
5.1.21
Alterations. Subject to the rights of tenants to make alterations pursuant to the terms of their respective Leases, Borrower shall obtain Lender’s prior written consent prior to permitting Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner to perform any alterations to any Improvements, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed except with respect to alterations that may have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s, Mortgage Borrower’s and/or Maryland Owner’s financial condition, the value of the applicable Individual Property or the Net Operating Income. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any alterations that will not have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s, Mortgage Borrower’s and/or Maryland Owner’s financial condition, the value of the applicable Individual Property or the Net Operating Income, provided that such alterations are made in connection with (a) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease executed on or before the Closing Date, or any Lease executed after the Closing Date (to a Lessee that is not an Affiliate of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner) for which Lender’s approval was not required or was given, (b) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms and provisions of a Lease and not adversely affecting any structural component of any Improvements, any utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any building constituting a part of any Improvements, (c) alterations performed in connection with the Restoration of an Individual Property after the occurrence of a Casualty or Condemnation in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, or (d) any alteration which costs less than both (i) the Threshold Amount (in the aggregate for all current alterations at the related Individual Property), and (ii) together with all other alterations currently being performed at the Properties, the Aggregate Threshold Amount, provided that, in all of the foregoing clauses (a) through (d), Borrower causes Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, to comply with the Alteration Conditions. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the Improvements at any Individual Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) shall at any time equal or exceed the Threshold Amount, Borrower, upon Lender’s request, shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such total unpaid amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (A) cash, (B) U.S.
-61-
Obligations, (C) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned to any Securities or any class thereof in connection with any Securitization, or (D) a completion bond or an irrevocable letter of credit (payable on sight draft only) issued by a financial institution having a rating by S&P of not less than A-1+ if the term of such bond or letter of credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such term is in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial institution having a rating that is acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned to any Securities or class thereof in connection with any Securitization. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the applicable Individual Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and, if cash, may be applied from time to time, at the option of Borrower, to pay for such alterations. At the option of Lender, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may terminate any of the alterations work and use the deposit to restore the applicable Individual Property to the extent necessary to prevent any material adverse effect on the value of such Individual Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation to deposit such security, provided that (1) Mortgage Borrower is required to and does deposit such security under the Mortgage Loan and (2) Lender receives evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender of the deposit of such security with Mortgage Lender.

Subject to the qualifications regarding Borrower’s interest in the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds, if any, until expended or applied in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents or the Loan Documents, Borrower’s interest in the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion.

ARTICLE VI
INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION
Section 6.1
Insurance.
(a)
Borrower shall cause Mortgagor Borrower to maintain at all times during the term of the Loan the insurance required under Section 6.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, meeting all insurer requirements thereunder. In addition, Borrower shall cause Lender and Borrower to each to be named as an additional insured under the insurance policies described in Section 6.1(a), (ii), (vii), (viii) and (ix) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. In addition, Borrower shall cause Lender to be named as a loss payee together with Mortgage Lender, as their interest may appear but subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, under all other insurance policies required under Section 6.1(a) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrower shall also cause all insurance policies required under this Section 6.1 to provide for at least thirty (30) days prior notice to Lender in the event of policy cancellation or material changes. Borrower shall provide Lender with evidence of all such insurance required hereunder simultaneously with Mortgage Borrower’s and Maryland Owner’s provision of such evidence to Mortgage Lender.
(b)
If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, after five (5) Business Days written notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage
-76-
as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Collateral and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. If Borrower fails in so insuring the Property or in so assigning and delivering the Policies, Lender may, at its option, obtain such insurance using such carriers and agencies as Lender shall elect from year to year and pay the premiums therefor, and Borrower will reimburse Lender for any premium so paid, with interest thereon as stated in the Note from the time of payment, on demand, and the amount so owing to Lender shall be secured by the Mortgages. The insurance obtained by Lender may, but need not, protect Borrower’s, Mortgage Borrower’s and Maryland Owner’s interest and the coverage that Lender purchases may not pay any claim that Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner makes or any claim that is made against Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner in connection with any Individual Property.
Section 6.2
Casualty.
If any Individual Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower (a) shall give to Lender prompt written notice of such damage reasonably estimated by Borrower to cost more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) to repair, and (b) shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of such Individual Property as nearly as possible to the condition such Individual Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
Section 6.3
Condemnation.
(a)
Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any Individual Property and shall cause Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner to deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner to, at their expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any Individual Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly cause Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, to promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the applicable Individual Property or any portion thereof pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
-77-
Section 6.4
Restoration.
Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, deliver to Lender all reports, plans, specifications, documents and other materials that are delivered to Mortgage Lender under Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and to otherwise comply in all respects with Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement in connection with a restoration of any Individual Property after a Casualty or Condemnation.
Section 7.1
Required Repair Funds.
Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to perform the Required Repairs (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement), in accordance with all of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
Section 7.2
Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund.
Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above are hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Tax and Insurance Reserve Account”). The Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount and all other payments due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and under the Mortgages. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums) or from Borrower without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof; provided, however, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to pay such real property taxes sufficiently early to obtain the benefit of any available discounts to which it has knowledge. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund. The Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and shall at Lender’s option be held in Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Properties. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase their monthly payments to
-78-
Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes or Insurance Premiums. Any Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall be paid (i) to Junior Mezzanine Lender to be held by Junior Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the Junior Mezzanine Loan Agreement for purposes similar to those described in this Section 7.2; or (ii) if the Junior Mezzanine Loan is not then outstanding, then to Borrower.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinbefore contained, Lender shall waive the requirement set forth herein for Borrower to make deposits for the payment of Insurance Premiums into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund so long as (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) Borrower has provided Lender with satisfactory evidence (as determined by Lender) that each Individual Property is insured in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Agreement pursuant to a blanket insurance Policy covering substantially all real property owned directly or indirectly by Indemnitor, including, without limitation, the Properties.
7.2.1
Waiver of Tax Escrow
. Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation to make deposits of Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund under Section 7.2 above, provided that (a) Mortgage Borrower is in compliance with Section 7.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and (b) Lender receives evidence acceptable to it of the making of any required deposits and of the payment of all such Taxes and Insurance Premiums.
Section 7.3
Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
7.3.1
Replacement Reserve Fund. Borrower Owner shall pay to Lender on the Closing Date the sum of Two Million Six Hundred Seventeen Thousand Three Hundred Two and 00/100 Dollars ($2,617,302.00) and on each Payment Date thereafter the sum of One Hundred Nine Thousand Fifty-Four and 27/100 Dollars ($109,054.27) (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”), which amounts shall be deposited with and held by Lender to be due for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Properties during the calendar year (collectively, the “Replacements”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Account”. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the amount of Replacement Reserve Funds on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account at any given time shall not exceed Two Million Six Hundred Seventeen Thousand Three Hundred Two and No/100 Dollars ($2,617,302.00) in the aggregate (the “Replacement Reserve Cap”) and, accordingly, to the extent a Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit would result in the aggregate amount of Replacement Reserve Funds in the Replacement Reserve Account to exceed the Replacement Reserve Cap, such Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be decreased by an amount equal to such excess. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Properties.
7.3.2
Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account.
-79-
(a)
Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to an Individual Property, replacement of inventory or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund or the Rollover Reserve Fund.
(b)
Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(e)) as determined by Lender. In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists.
(c)
Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made. With each request Borrower shall certify that all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the applicable Individual Property to which Replacements are being provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below, each request shall include evidence of payment of all such amounts. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e), each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.
(d)
Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $100,000 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the applicable Individual Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a
-80-
joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).
(e)
If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $100,000, (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the applicable Individual Property and are properly secured or have been installed in such Individual Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
(f)
Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $5,000.00.
(g)
Borrower shall make a capital contribution to Mortgage Borrower in an amount equal to any Replacement Reserve Funds disbursed to Borrower as and when such disbursements are made pursuant to this Section 7.3.2. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to pay for the related Replacement.
7.3.3
Performance of Replacements.
(a)
Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep each Individual Property in condition and repair consistent with other first class, full service retail properties in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the respective Individual Property is located, and to keep each Individual Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.
(b)
Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials under contracts for an amount in excess of $100,000 in connection with the Replacements. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
(c )
In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, and such failure continues to exist for more than thirty (30) days after notice from Lender to Borrower, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the
-81-
Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
(d)
In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of such Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner to grant Lender the right to enter onto any Individual Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make such Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect such Individual Property from damage, subject to the rights of Tenants. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Pledge Agreement. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake such Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked but shall only be effective following an Event of Default.

(e)
Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing any Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.
(f)
Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner to permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto each Individual Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at each Individual Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner to cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.
-82-
(g)
Lender may require an inspection of the Individual Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in excess of $10,000 from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
(h)
The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender).
(i)
Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the applicable Individual Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or other liens of any nature have been placed against the applicable Individual Property since the date of recordation of the related Mortgage and that title to such Individual Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the related Mortgage and any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).
(j)
All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the applicable Individual Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.
(k)
In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents or any Ground Lease, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.
7.3.4
Failure to Make Replacements.
(a)
It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender; provided, however, if such failure is not capable of being cured within said thirty (30) day period, then provided that Borrower commences action to complete such cure and thereafter diligently proceeds to complete such cure, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower in the exercise of due diligence, to cure such failure, but such additional period of time shall not exceed sixty (60) days. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of
-83-
the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to any Individual Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b)
Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.
7.3.5
Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents. Any Replacement Reserve Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall be paid (i) to Junior Mezzanine Lender to be held by Junior Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the Junior Mezzanine Loan Agreement for purposes similar to those described in this Section 7.3, or (ii) if the Junior Mezzanine Loan is not then outstanding, then to Borrower.

Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor or materials in connection with the Replacements; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Rollover Reserve Fund” and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Rollover Reserve Account”.

Remedies.
(a)
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any of 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 law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral and the Collateral has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b)
With respect to Borrower and the 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, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose upon the Collateral 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 upon the Collateral 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
-91-
foreclose upon the Collateral to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Collateral as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents and not previously recovered.
(c)
Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever any Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledges and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender following the occurrence of an Event of Default as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
Section 8.3
Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.
The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

-97-
Loan, the Mortgage Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan may, in connection with the application of principal to and among the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan, subsequently cause the weighted average coupon of the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan to change.

Borrower, Individual Mortgage Borrower, Principal or Maryland Owner from any Person; (7) Borrower, any Individual Mortgage Borrower, Principal Maryland Owner filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (8) Borrower, any Individual Mortgage Borrower, Principal or Maryland Owner consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower, any Individual Mortgage Borrower, Principal or Maryland Owner or any Individual Property (or any portion thereof); (9) Borrower, any Individual Mortgage Borrower, Principal or Maryland Owner making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; (10) the failure of Borrower to obtain Lender’s prior written consent (to extent such consent is required) to any subordinate financing or other voluntary Lien encumbering any Individual Property, or the Collateral; or (11) the failure of Borrower to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Transfer or permit any Transfer of any Individual Property by Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner, or of the Collateral or any portion thereof, or any interest therein as required by this Agreement or the Pledge Agreement. Upon the acceptance by Lender of any cure by Borrower of a recourse trigger described in clauses (1), (2), (3), (10) or (11) above (which Lender is not obligated to accept and may reject or accept in its sole and absolute discretion), the Debt shall no longer be fully recourse to Borrower solely as a result of such trigger, provided, however, Borrower shall remain liable to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with such trigger.

Servicer.
At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a master servicer, servicer, special servicer/trustee (any such master servicer, servicer, special servicer/trustee, together with its agents, nominees or designees, are collectively referred to as “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement and/or a special servicing agreement (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall be responsible for any reasonable set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the monthly servicing fee due to Servicer

under the Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall pay (i) any liquidation fees that may be due to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement in connection with the exercise of any or all remedies permitted under this Agreement, (ii) any workout fees or special servicing fees that may be due to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, which fees shall be due and payable by Borrower on a periodic or continuing basis in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and (iii) the costs of all property inspections and/or appraisals of the Properties and/or Collateral (or any updates to any existing inspection or appraisal) required under the Servicing Agreement or that a Servicer may otherwise require under the Servicing Agreement (other than the cost of annual inspections required to be borne by Servicer under the Servicing Agreement). Provided no Event of Default is continuing, if Servicer proposes to transfer the servicing of the Loan to a Servicer that is a special servicer based on Servicer’s judgment that a Default in the payment of Debt Service is reasonably foreseeable, Servicer shall use good faith efforts to consult with Borrower before transferring the servicing of the Loan, except in those instances in which Servicer determines in its sole discretion that the failure to so transfer the servicing of the Loan would materially and adversely affect the holders of the Securities of the Loan or the Mortgage Loan, and Borrower acknowledge and agree that any such consultation shall be conducted on a non-binding basis and any decision by Servicer to transfer the Loan to a special servicer shall be final and binding on, and shall not be subject to challenge by, Borrower.
Section 9.7
Splitting the Loan.

Borrower hereby agrees to be responsible for all third-party expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and delivery of the Severing Documentation and the effectuation of the uncrossing of the Loan from the additional loans. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon such severing of the Loan, Lender may effect, in its sole discretion, one or more Securitizations of which the severed loans may be a part.

(b)
Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Collateral, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Collateral for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Collateral in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Collateral, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of any part of the Collateral or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any part of the Collateral or any combination of the Collateral before proceeding against any other part of the Collateral or combination of Collateral; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Collateral.

On or prior to the Closing Date, the holders of each Note (each, a “Co-Lender”) shall designate either a single Co-Lender or the Servicer to act on behalf of all such Persons holding an interest in the Loan (the “Mezzanine Lender Agent”). The Mezzanine Lender Agent shall have the sole right to receive any notices which are required to be given or which may be given to the Lender pursuant to this Agreement and to exercise any approval rights and powers given to the Lender; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, all other rights of Lender under this Agreement including, without limitation, the exercise of Lender’s remedies under this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents, may be exercised by one or more Co-Lenders and/or Servicer as the Co-Lenders may elect in their sole discretion. Once a Mezzanine Lender Agent has been designated hereunder with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall be entitled to rely on such designation until it has received written notice from a Co-Lender or the servicer of a different Person to act as the Mezzanine Lender Agent for Loan.
(b)
Following the Closing Date (i) the liabilities of Lender shall be several and not joint, (ii) neither Co-Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of the other Co-Lender, and (iii) each Co-Lender shall be liable to Borrower only for their respective ratable share of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all indemnities by Borrower and obligations for principal and interest payments, payment of prepayment fees, exits fees, default interest or any other amounts due hereunder, including costs, expenses, damages or advances each as set forth herein shall run to and benefit each Co-Lender in accordance with its ratable share.
Section 10.27
The Servicer (or in the case of participants, the applicable Lender), as non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain a record that identifies each owner (including successors, assignees, and participants) of an interest in the Loan, including the name and address of the owner, and each owner's rights to principal and stated interest (the “Register”), and shall record all transfers of an interest in the Loan, including each assignment and participation, in the Register. Servicer (or in the case of participants, the applicable Lender) as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, will update the Register to reflect the transfer. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Lenders and the Servicer may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The parties intend for the Loan to be in registered form for tax purposes and to the extent of any conflict with this Section 10.27, this Section 10.27 shall be construed in accordance with that intent.
