CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
(b) Balancing Deposits. Within 10 days after written notice from Administrative Agent that the Loans are not “in balance,” and prior to any subsequent Advance, Borrower shall deposit or cause to be deposited sufficient funds with Collateral Agent to bring the Loans “in balance” as determined by Administrative Agent. Any amounts so deposited will be held by Collateral Agent in Construction Account – Building Loan under the Collateral Account Pledge Agreement. Any amounts so deposited to correct a deficiency described in Section 2.06(a)(i) or 2.06(a)(ii)(A) above (a “Non-Interest Balancing Deposit”) shall be disbursed for the payment of Project Costs (other than interest on the Loans) before any additional Advances are made for such Project Costs. Any amounts so deposited to correct a deficiency described in Section 2.06(a)(ii) above (an “Interest Balancing Deposit”) shall be disbursed for the payment of interest on the Loans before any additional Advances are made therefor. Any amounts so deposited to correct a deficiency described in Section 2.06(a)(iii) above (a “Proton System Balancing Deposit”) shall be held in the Facility Lessee Construction Account and disbursed for the payment of amounts due on the Proton System Purchase Agreement. Disbursements of Balancing Deposits shall be subject to the same conditions as would be applicable to an Advance hereunder. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, Administrative Agent may apply all or any portion of any Borrower Balancing Deposit (including accrued interest thereon) to the payment of the Obligations or any Project Costs. Borrower shall have the right to deliver an irrevocable standby letter of credit to Administrative Agent in the amount of any required Balancing Deposit in lieu of depositing cash therefor so long as such letter of credit (i) is issued by a Qualified Financial Institution, (ii) permits draws upon delivery of sight drafts by Administrative Agent in order to facilitate the disbursements contemplated hereby in the same manner as if cash were deposited with Administrative Agent for the required Balancing Deposit, and (iii) is otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent. In the event Administrative Agent makes a demand for a Balancing Deposit hereunder as a result of a casualty or condemnation, any insurance or condemnation proceeds held by Administrative Agent and available for disbursement for construction or reconstruction in accordance with Section 7.01(g) and Section 7.02 hereof (as applicable) hereof shall be credited against the Balancing Deposit required to be made hereunder and shall be treated in the same manner as a Balancing Deposit.
2.07 Advances to Pay Interest on Senior First Lien Loans and Senior Second Lien Loans.
(a) Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders to make Advances on each Interest Payment Date occurring on or prior to the Facility Substantial Completion Date to pay accrued interest on the Senior First Lien Loans and the Senior Second Lien Loans. Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the total amount of accrued interest on the Senior First Lien Loans and Senior Second Lien Loans due on such Interest Payment Date and the amount each Lender is required to fund pursuant to Section 2.02(c). Upon receipt of such Advances, the Administrative Agent shall promptly disburse to each Senior First Lien Lender and Senior Second Lien Lender an amount equal to such accrued interest.
(b) Borrower’s authorization in Section 2.07(a) is irrevocable and no further direction, authorization or Draw Request shall be required for Lenders to make such Advances. The Lenders may make such Advances notwithstanding that a Default or Unmatured Default may have occurred under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(c) The portion of the Aggregate Senior First Lien Loan Commitment and Senior Second Lien Loan Commitment allocated in the Project Budget for interest on the Senior First Lien Loans
41
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
and the Senior Second Lien Loans shall be held by the Senior First Lien Lenders and Senior Second Lien Lenders, as applicable, as an unfunded interest reserve . If the interest reserve is insufficient to pay in full interest due on the Senior First Lien Loans and the Senior Second Lien Loans, then such Advance shall be allocated first to interest due on the Senior First Lien Loans and second to interest due on the Senior Second Lien Loans. If funds are not available from the interest reserve to pay in full interest when due on the Senior First Lien Loans and the Senior Second Lien Loans, Borrower shall pay such shortfall from its own funds. Nothing in this provision shall prevent Borrower from paying interest on the Senior First Lien Loans and the Senior Second Lien Loans from its own funds. Cash flow from the Facility must be used to pay interest on the Senior First Lien Loans and the Senior Second Lien Loan before any Advances are made to pay such interest.
2.08 Project Budget.
(a) A budget setting forth the items of direct and indirect costs of all Project Costs is attached to the Project Loan Agreement as Exhibit B and is incorporated herein by reference (as amended and modified from time to time with the approval of Administrative Agent, the “Project Budget”). Each such cost (a “Line Item”) shall be allocated to a grouping (a “Cost Grouping”). The Project Budget shall delineate those Project Costs that may be funded with the Loan proceeds (subject to satisfaction of all applicable conditions to Advances hereunder) being so indicated. The Project Budget shall contain a contingency for non-interest Project Costs and a reserve for interest. The Lenders shall not be obligated to disburse more than the amount shown in the Project Budget for any Cost Grouping.
(b) From time to time, Administrative Agent, or Borrower with the prior written approval of Administrative Agent in accordance herewith, may determine that modifications are necessary in the Project Budget because of actual or anticipated changes in the Project Costs, including the allocation of the non-interest contingency to the Project Costs. If, after due consultation and consideration of the views of Borrower and supporting documentation, Borrower and Administrative Agent do not agree on the changes, Administrative Agent’s reasonable determination shall control.
(c) If Borrower becomes aware of any change in the Project Costs that will increase a Cost Grouping reflected on the Project Budget, Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing, advise Administrative Agent of the source of funds for such increase (which may include funds from the Facility Lessee, the Proton System Supplier or the allocation of the non-interest contingency in the Project Budget or the reallocation of the interest reserve to non-interest contingency) and promptly submit to Administrative Agent for its approval a revised Project Budget. Any reallocation of any Cost Groupings in the Project Budget in connection with cost overruns shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s reasonable approval except as expressly set forth herein, and upon Completion of the Improvements and final payment to the Contractor, any unused non-interest contingency will be reallocated to the interest reserve. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make any further Advances unless and until the revised Project Budget so submitted by Borrower is approved by Administrative Agent. All savings resulting from the modification of the Project Budget, other than for interest on the Loan, shall be reallocated to the non-interest contingency and shall be available for costs in any other Project Budget line item.

2.13 Miscellaneous.

additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Demand For Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation.
3.09 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such 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 Section 3.09) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse each Recipient for, Other Taxes.
(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.09, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
(d) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Recipient, within 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 such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (including the expenses of enforcing the foregoing indemnification), 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 Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally defend and hold harmless Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.04(c)(i) hereof relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (including the expenses of enforcing the foregoing indemnification), whether or not such 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 any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(f) Status of Lenders.
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such 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 Section 3.09(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such 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 Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’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.
Each 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 and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g) 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 3.09 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.09), 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 3.09 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 (g) (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 (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) 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.
(h) Survival; Defined Terms. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.09 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. For purposes of this Section 3.09, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
(a) Payments Generally. Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set‑off, counterclaim or deduction. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to Administrative Agent at its offices at the address provided in the Collateral Account Pledge Agreement. Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars.
(b) Application of Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due and payable hereunder, subject to any written agreement among Administrative Agent and Lenders, such funds shall be applied:
(i) first, to amounts then due and payable to Administrative Agent,
(ii) second, to amounts then due and payable to the Senior First Lien Lenders,
(iii) third, to amounts then due and payable to the Senior Second Lien Lenders, and
(iv) fourth, to amounts then due and payable to the Subordinated Lenders;
and within each such priority, such funds shall be applied (x) first, towards payment of fees, indemnities and expense reimbursements then due hereunder to the parties entitled thereto; (y) second, towards payment of interest then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest then due to such parties, and (z) third, towards payment of principal then due hereunder then due, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.
(c) Allocation of Payments. If, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender having the same payment priority in the Loan Collateral, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by all such Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrower or any subsidiary or
55
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d) Advance Payments. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
3.11 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Mitigation of Increased Costs. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.08 hereof, or if Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.08 or 3.09 hereof, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.08 hereof, or if Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof, and, such Lender fails to withdraw any such notice to Borrower within 5 Business Days after Borrower’s request for such withdrawal, then, provided no Default has occurred and is then continuing, Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.04 hereof), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.08 or 3.09 hereof) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee (other than Borrower, any Guarantors or their Affiliates) that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, (including, without limitation, all prepayment fees) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
56
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); provided, however, that in the case of Borrower’s replacement of a Defaulting Lender for failure to fund Loans hereunder, the assignee or Borrower, as the case may be, shall hold back from such amounts payable to such Lender and pay directly to Administrative Agent, any payments due to Administrative Agent or the Non-Defaulting Lenders by Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.08 hereof or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
3.12 Trust Fund Provisions. All proceeds advanced hereunder shall be subject to the trust fund provisions of section 13 of the Lien Law of the State of New York, as amended from time to time (the “Lien Law”). The affidavit annexed hereto as Exhibit G is made pursuant to and in compliance with section 22 of the Lien Law, and, if so indicated in said affidavit, Loan proceeds will be used, in part, for reimbursement for payments made by Borrower prior to the Initial Advance hereunder but subsequent to the commencement of the construction and equipping of the Improvements for items defined as an “improvement” and/or “cost of improvement” under section 2 of the Lien Law.

The payment by Administrative Agent of any delinquent tax, assessment or governmental charge, or any claim or Lien which Administrative Agent in good faith believes might be prior hereto, shall be conclusive between the parties as to the legality and amount so paid, and Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all rights, equities and liens discharged by any such expenditure to the fullest extent permitted by law.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
(a) Required Insurance Coverage. Borrower will cause Facility Lessee to maintain the insurance required by Section 13 of the Facility Lease and otherwise comply with the requirements set forth therein and will cause and Contractor to maintain the insurance required by the Construction Contract. In addition, but without duplication of such insurance, Borrower, at its expense, shall maintain and provide to Administrative Agent duplicate originals of policies of insurance providing the following:
(i) Commercial General Liability Insurance with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence combined single limit and $2,000,000 in the aggregate for the policy period, or in whatever higher amounts as may be required by Administrative Agent from time to time by notice to Borrower (with deductibles acceptable to Lender), and extended to cover: (a) Contractual Liability assumed by Borrower with defense provided in addition to policy limits for indemnities of the named insured, (b) if any of the work is subcontracted, Independent Contractors Liability providing coverage in connection with such portion of the work which may be subcontracted, (c) Broad Form Property Damage Liability, (d) Products & Completed Operations for coverage, such coverage to apply for two years following completion of construction, (e) waiver of subrogation against all parties named additional insured, (f) severability of interest provision, (g) Personal Injury & Advertisers Liability and (g) environmental liability.

(iii) Umbrella/Excess Liability in excess of Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability and Employers’ Liability coverages which is at least as broad as these underlying policies with a limit of liability of $25,000,000.
(iv) All-Risk Property (Special Cause of Loss) Insurance including, without limitation, coverage for loss or damage to the Facility by fire and other perils including windstorm, earthquake/earth movement and malicious mischief, building ordinance extension endorsement (including cost of demolition, increased costs of construction and the value of the undamaged portion of the building and soft costs coverage), and boiler and machinery coverage (if separate policy, that policy must include loss of rents or business interruption coverage), as specified by Administrative Agent. The policy shall be in an amount not less than the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the Facility and personal property related thereto (without deduction for depreciation). If the policy is a blanket policy covering the Facility and one or more other properties, the policy must specify the dollar amount of the total blanket limit of the policy that is allocated to each property, and the amount so allocated to the Facility must not be less than the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis. During any construction period, such policy shall be written in the so-called “Builder’s Risk Completed Value Non-Reporting Form” with no coinsurance requirement and shall contain a provision granting the insured permission to occupy prior to completion. Such policy shall not contain an exclusion for terrorist losses unless Borrower shall procure a separate Terrorism policy covering Certified Acts of
85
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
Terrorism in an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the Facility, or the amount of the Loan, whichever is less. This policy must also list Collateral Agent as mortgagee and loss payee.
(v) If the Property, or any part thereof, lies within a “special flood hazard area” as designated on maps prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a National Flood Insurance Program Standard Flood Insurance Policy (“SFIP”) and/or insurance from a private insurance carrier (which may substitute for or supplement, the SFIP) in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent covering the Facility, if applicable, for the duration of the Loans in the amount of the full insurable value of the Facility, if applicable, or the amount of the Loans, whichever is less.
(vi) Such other insurance coverages in such amounts as Administrative Agent may require, which may include, without limitation, errors and omissions insurance with respect to the contractors, architects and engineers.
(b) Policy Requirements; Insurance Consultant. All insurance policies shall (i) be issued by an insurance company licensed to do business in the state where the Facility is located having a rating of “A-” VIII or better by A.M. Best Co., in Best’s Rating Guide, (ii) name each Lender, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and “any and all subsidiaries and their successors and/or assigns as their interests may appear”, as additional insureds on all liability insurance and Collateral Agent as mortgagee and loss payee on all All-Risk Property, flood insurance, and rent loss or business interruption insurance (whether or not required hereunder), (iii) be endorsed to show that Borrower’s insurance shall be primary and all insurance carried by Administrative Agent is strictly excess and secondary and shall not contribute with Borrower’s insurance, (iv) provide that Administrative Agent is to receive 30 days written notice prior to non-renewal or cancellation, (v) be evidenced by a certificate of insurance to be provided to Administrative Agent along with a copy of the policy for All-Risk Property coverage or such other evidence of insurance acceptable to Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, (vi) include either policy or binder numbers on the XXXXX form, and (vii) be in form and amounts acceptable to Administrative Agent; provided, however, that with respect to any flood insurance required hereunder, acceptable proof of coverage shall not include certificates of insurance. Administrative Agent, at its option and upon notice to Borrower, may retain, at Borrower’s expense, an insurance consultant to review the insurance for the Facility to confirm that it complies with the terms and conditions set forth herein.
(c) Evidence of Insurance; Payment of Premiums. Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent, at least 5 days before the expiration of an existing policy, evidence acceptable to Administrative Agent of the continuation of the coverage of the expiring policy. If Administrative Agent has not received satisfactory evidence of such continuation of coverage in the time frame herein specified, Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance for Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ interest only. Any amounts so disbursed by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall be repaid by Borrower within 10 days after written demand therefor. Nothing contained in this Section shall require Administrative Agent to incur any expense or take any action hereunder, and inaction by Administrative Agent shall never be considered a waiver of any right accruing to Administrative Agent on account on this Section. The payment by Administrative Agent of any insurance premium for insurance which Borrower is obligated to provide hereunder but which Administrative Agent believes has not been paid, shall
86
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
be conclusive between the parties as to the legality and amounts so paid. Borrower agrees to pay all premiums on such insurance as they become due, and will not permit any condition to exist on or with respect to the Mortgaged Property which would wholly or partially invalidate any insurance thereon.
(d) Collateral Protection. Unless Borrower provides Administrative Agent with evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Administrative Agent may purchase insurance at Borrower’s expense to protect Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ interest in the Mortgaged Property. This insurance may, but need not, protect Borrower’s interest in the Mortgaged Property. The coverages that Administrative Agent purchases may not pay any claim that Borrower makes or any claim that is made against Borrower in connection with the Mortgaged Property. Borrower or Administrative Agent (as appropriate) may later cancel any insurance purchased by Administrative Agent, but only after Administrative Agent receives satisfactory evidence that Borrower has obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If Administrative Agent purchases insurance for the Mortgaged Property, Borrower will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including any charges imposed by Administrative Agent in connection with the placement of insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of such insurance. The costs of the insurance may, at Administrative Agent’s discretion, be added to Borrower’s total principal obligation owing to Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and in any event shall be secured by the liens on the Mortgaged Property created by the Loan Documents. It is understood and agreed that the costs of insurance obtained by Administrative Agent may be more than the costs of insurance Borrower may be able to obtain on its own.
(e) No Liability; Assignment. Administrative Agent shall not by the fact of approving, disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining or failing to obtain any such insurance, incur any liability for the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of insurers, or payment of losses, and Borrower hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all liability, if any, thereunder. Borrower hereby absolutely assigns and transfers to Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any unearned premiums paid on policies and any claims thereunder and Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assign any then existing claims under the same to any purchaser of the Mortgaged Property at any foreclosure sale. In the event of a foreclosure on the Mortgaged Property or other transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Loans, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the insurance policies then in force and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(f) No Separate Insurance. Borrower shall not carry any separate insurance on the Mortgaged Property concurrent in kind or form with any insurance required hereunder or contributing in the event of loss without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, and any such policy shall have attached a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause, with loss payable to Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall otherwise meet all other requirements set forth herein.
(g) Casualty Loss. If all or any part of the Mortgaged Property shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Borrower shall give immediate written notice and make a claim
87
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
to the insurance carrier and Administrative Agent. With respect to any such casualty loss for which Borrower has an insurance claim that exceeds $2,000.000 Borrower hereby authorizes and empowers Administrative Agent, at Administrative Agent’s option and in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion as attorney-in-fact for Borrower, to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Administrative Agent’s expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds; provided, however, that the foregoing authorization and empowerment of Administrative Agent to act as attorney-in-fact for Borrower shall not become effective until the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or until such time as Borrower fails to diligently pursue the collection of such insurance proceeds if Administrative Agent elects not to pursue collection thereof in Administrative Agent’s opinion. The foregoing appointment is irrevocable, coupled with an interest and continuing so long as the Commitments or Obligations remain outstanding, and such rights, powers and privileges shall be exclusive in Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), its successors and assigns.
As sole loss payee on all policies of casualty insurance, Collateral Agent shall receive all insurance proceeds from any casualty loss, and shall hold the same in an interest-bearing account pending disposition in accordance with this Section 7.01(g). Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent to deduct from such insurance proceeds received by Collateral Agent all of Collateral Agent’s costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the collection thereof (the remainder of such insurance proceeds being referred to herein as “Net Casualty Proceeds”).
Prior to Substantial Completion of the Facility, the Net Casualty Proceeds from any casualty loss affecting the Mortgaged Property shall be treated as a Non-Interest Balancing Deposit and disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.05 hereof if all of the following conditions are satisfied within 90 days after the applicable casualty loss: (A) Borrower satisfies Administrative Agent that the construction can be completed no later than 180 days after the Outside Facility Substantial Completion Date; and (B) Borrower delivers to Administrative Agent satisfactory evidence that the Lease will remains in full force and effect. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy the conditions set forth in subclauses (A) or (B) hereof by the required date, Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to apply all Net Casualty Proceeds held by it to the payment of the Obligations.
After Substantial Completion of the Facility, Administrative Agent shall cause the Net Casualty Proceeds from any casualty loss affecting the Mortgaged Property to be disbursed for the cost of reconstruction of the Mortgaged Property if all of the following conditions are satisfied within 90 days after the applicable casualty loss: (A) Borrower satisfies Administrative Agent that the reconstruction can be completed within a reasonable period of time after such casualty loss (but in no event later than the Maturity Date) and that after giving effect to such reconstruction the Mortgaged Property will be restored to its condition immediately prior to the casualty loss; (B) Borrower satisfies Administrative Agent that the Net Casualty Proceeds are sufficient to pay all costs of reconstruction, and if insufficient, Borrower deposits with Administrative Agent additional funds acceptable to Administrative Agent to make up such insufficiency; (C) Borrower delivers to Administrative Agent all plans and specifications and construction contracts for the work of reconstruction and such plans and specifications and construction contracts are in form and content
88
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
acceptable to Administrative Agent and with a contractor acceptable to Administrative Agent; and (D) the Facility Lease remains in full force and effect. The disbursement of Net Casualty Proceeds pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be in accordance with customary disbursement procedures and shall not be available after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default. Any Net Casualty Proceeds not required to reconstruct the Mortgaged Property shall be delivered to Administrative Agent, for prepayment of the Obligation. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy the conditions set forth in subclauses (A) through (D) hereof by the required date, Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to apply all Net Casualty Proceeds held by it to the payment of the Obligations. Borrower shall have the obligation to promptly and diligently complete the work of reconstruction necessitated by any casualty loss and restore the Mortgaged Property to the equivalent of its condition immediately prior to such casualty provided the applicable Net Casualty Proceeds are made available to Borrower for such purpose.
7.02 Condemnation and Other Awards. Immediately upon receiving written notice of the institution or threatened institution of any proceeding for the condemnation of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of such fact. Borrower shall then file or defend its rights thereunder and prosecute the same with due diligence to its final disposition; provided, however, that Borrower shall not enter into any settlement of such proceeding without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled, at its option, to appear in any such proceeding in its own name on behalf of the Lenders, and upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or if Borrower fails to diligently prosecute such proceeding, (a) Administrative Agent shall be entitled, at its option, to appear in and prosecute any such proceeding or to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such condemnation on behalf of Borrower, and (b) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, and such appointment is coupled with an interest, to commence, appear in and prosecute such action or proceeding or to make such compromise or settlement in connection with any such condemnation on its behalf. The foregoing appointment is irrevocable and continuing so long as the Commitments or Obligations remain outstanding, and such rights, powers and privileges shall be exclusive in Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), its successors and assigns. If the Mortgaged Property or any material part thereof is taken or materially diminished in value in connection with such condemnation, or if a consent settlement is entered, by or under threat of such proceeding, the award or settlement payable to Borrower by virtue of its interest in the Mortgaged Property, shall be, and by these presents is, assigned, transferred and set over unto Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Any such award or settlement shall be first applied to reimburse Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the collection of such award or settlement. The balance of such award or settlement (the “Net Condemnation Proceeds”) shall be paid to Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties for application in the manner set forth in Section 7.01(g) as if such award or settlement constituted insurance proceeds from a casualty loss; provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to make Net Condemnation Proceeds available for construction or reconstruction of the Mortgaged Property unless Administrative Agent has determined that the Mortgaged Property as so constructed or reconstructed after giving effect to the condemnation would have a value that is no less than its value would have been had there been no such condemnation. Borrower shall have the obligation to promptly and diligently complete the work of reconstruction necessitated by
89
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
any condemnation and restore the Mortgaged Property to the equivalent of its condition immediately prior to such condemnation (or if the initial construction of the Improvements is not substantially complete at the time of such condemnation, continue the construction of the Improvements in accordance with the terms hereof) provided the applicable Net Condemnation Proceeds are made available to Borrower for such purpose.
7.03 Provisions of the Facility Lease to Govern. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02, so long as Facility Lease shall be in full force and effect, Administrative Agent agrees to permit the use of Net Casualty Proceeds and Net Condemnation Proceeds consistently with the terms of the Facility Lease, if and to the extent Borrower is obligated under the Facility Lease to make such proceeds available for construction or reconstruction of the Facility. The remaining provisions of Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 shall apply to the extent that they are consistent with the terms of the Facility Lease. Any portion of Net Casualty Proceeds and/or Net Condemnation Proceeds not so made available for construction or reconstruction of the Facility or otherwise payable to Borrower pursuant to the Facility Lease shall be applied in accordance with the terms of Section 7.01 or Section 7.02, as the case may be.

(iv) If a Default has occurred and is continuing under the Facility Lease, all rights of Borrower in the Facility Lessee Collateral.
(b) Right to Complete Construction. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default hereunder, Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall have the right, in person or by agent, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to take possession of the Mortgaged Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete the Improvements and the acquisition and installation of the Proton System substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and the Building Interface Document (with such modifications as shall be deemed appropriate by Administrative Agent), and employ watchmen to protect the Mortgaged Property from injury. All reasonable sums so expended by Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be deemed to have been paid to Borrower and constitute Obligations. Effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney‑in‑fact, with full power of substitution, to so complete the Improvements in the name of Borrower. Borrower hereby empowers said attorney to: (a) use any funds of Borrower, including any funds which may remain undisbursed hereunder for the purpose of so completing the Facility; (b) make such additions, changes and corrections in the Plans and Specifications or the Building Interface Document as Administrative Agent deems appropriate; (c) employ such contractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for said purposes; (d) pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which may be liens against the Mortgaged Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for such Completion of the Facility or for clearance of title; (e) execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (f) prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Mortgaged Property or the construction of the Improvements and take such action and require such performance as it deems necessary under any bond or guaranty of completion; and (g) do any and every act which Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. It is further understood and agreed that this power of attorney, which shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, cannot be revoked.
(c) Any such actions taken by Administrative Agent shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Administrative Agent permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to applicable law, Borrower agrees that if a Default is continuing (i) Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent shall remain in full force and effect until Administrative Agent has exhausted all of its remedies against the Borrower Collateral and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of all of the Obligations under the Loan Documents.

(d) Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, Borrower hereby waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable law (a) all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonperformance (except to the extent required by the provisions hereof or of any other Loan Documents), protests and notices of dishonor, (b) any requirement of diligence or promptness on Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ part in the enforcement of its rights (but not fulfillment of its obligations) under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (c) any and all notices of every kind and description which may be required to be given by any statute or rule of law and are not otherwise required to be given hereunder or under any other Loan Document, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
(e) No course of dealing and no delay or omission by Administrative Agent, the Lenders or Borrower in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. No waiver or consent shall be binding upon Administrative Agent or the Lenders unless it is in writing and signed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent’s exercise of Administrative Agent’s right to remedy any default by Borrower to Administrative Agent or any other Person shall not constitute a waiver of the default remedied, a waiver of any other prior or subsequent default by Borrower or a waiver of the right to be reimbursed for any and all of its expenses in so remedying such default. The making of an Advance hereunder during the existence of a Default shall not constitute a waiver thereof. No Advance of Loan proceeds hereunder, no increase or decrease in the amount of any Advance, and no making of all or any part of an Advance prior to the due date thereof shall constitute an approval or acceptance by Administrative Agent or the Lenders of the work theretofore done or a waiver of any of the conditions of the Lenders’ obligation to make further Advances, nor in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any such failure to insist upon strict compliance have the effect of precluding the Lenders from thereafter refusing to make an Advance and/or declaring such inability to be a Default as hereinabove provided. All Advances shall be deemed to have been made pursuant hereto and not in contravention of the terms of this Agreement.
(f) The rights, powers and remedies of Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as the Lenders may determine in the Lenders’ sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon the occurrence and continuation of a 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 with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

9.03 Curing of Defaults. Upon the occurrence of a Default hereunder, Administrative Agent or any Lender, without waiving any right of acceleration or foreclosure under the Loan Documents which Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have by reason of such Default or any other right Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have against Borrower because of said Default, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to take such actions and make such payments as shall be necessary to cure such Default, including, without limitation, the making of Advances. All amounts so expended shall constitute Obligations and shall be payable by Borrower on demand by Administrative Agent.

Each Lender shall endeavor to reply promptly to any such request, but in any event within 10 Business Days after the delivery of such request by the second Administrative Agent Consent Request Notice (the “Lender Reply Period”). Unless a Lender shall give written notice to Administrative Agent that it objects to the recommendation (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) prior to the expiration of the Lender Reply Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination. With respect to decisions requiring the approval of the Required Lenders or all Lenders, Administrative Agent shall timely submit any required written notices to all Lenders and upon receiving the required approval or consent shall follow the course of action or determination recommended by Administrative Agent or such other course of action recommended by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be and each non-responding Lender shall be deemed to have concurred with such recommended course of action.
10.10 Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a) Suspension of Voting Rights. Such Defaulting Lender shall not have the right to vote on any issue on which voting is required (other than to the extent expressly provided in Section 11.02(b)) and the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder.
(b) Turn Over of Payments. All amounts payable hereunder to the Defaulting Lender in respect of the Obligations (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, including, without limitation, interest payments from interest reserve allocations to the Defaulting Lender and any amounts that would otherwise be payable to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.10, but excluding Section 3.11(b)) hereof, shall be paid to Administrative Agent, retained in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: (i) first, to the payment of any reasonable amounts actually due and owing by the Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder as determined by Administrative Agent in good faith, (ii) second, to the funding of any Advance in respect of which the Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent, in good faith (iii) third, to the payment of any reasonable amounts actually due and owing by the Defaulting Lender to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, including without limitation for any Special Advance under paragraph (c) of this Section 10.11, as determined by Administrative Agent in good faith and (iv) fourth, to the Defaulting Lender.
102
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
(c) Special Advances. If a Lender fails to fund its portion of any Advance, in whole or part (such amount, a “Deficiency”), within 10 Business Days after the date required hereunder and Administrative Agent shall not have funded such Deficiency under Section 3.03(b) hereof, Administrative Agent shall so notify the Lenders in writing, and within 3 Business Days after delivery of such notice, the Non-Defaulting Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, in their respective, sole and absolute discretion, to fund all or a portion of such Deficiency (the amount so funded by any such Non-Defaulting Lenders being referred to herein as a “Special Advance”) to Borrower. In such event, the Defaulting Lender and Borrower agree to pay to Administrative Agent for payment to the Lenders making the Special Advance, forthwith on demand such amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the interest rate that would have been applicable to such Deficiency if funded by the Defaulting Lender.
(d) Option to Purchase Future Commitment. The Non-Defaulting Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, in their respective, sole and absolute discretion, to acquire for no cash consideration (pro rata, based on the respective Commitments of those Lenders electing to exercise such right), a Defaulting Lender’s Commitment to fund future Loans (the “Future Commitment”). Upon any such purchase of the Defaulting Lender’s Future Commitment, the Defaulting Lender’s share in future Advances and its rights under the Loan Documents with respect thereto shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest.
(e) Replacement of Defaulting Lender.
(i) By Required Lenders. The Required Lenders may, upon notice to the Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent, require the Defaulting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.04 hereof) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Defaulting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); and (ii) Administrative Agent shall have received payment of any amounts owing by such Lender to Administrative Agent or the other Lenders under this Agreement. The Defaulting Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender.
(ii) By Borrower. If the Lender has become a Defaulting Lender due to a failure to fund its Loans hereunder, Borrower may at its option replace Defaulting Lender under Section 3.11(b) hereof.
(f) Indemnification. Each Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Administrative Agent, each Non-Defaulting Lender and Borrower from and against any out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent, any Non-Defaulting Lender or Borrower with respect to the Loan

(g) Ceasing to be a Defaulting Lender. A Lender shall cease to be Defaulting Lender only upon (i) the payment of all amounts due and payable by Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent or any other Lender under this Agreement; (ii) the payment of any out-of-pocket damages suffered by Borrower or any other Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s default hereunder; and (iii) the circumstances described in clause (d) of the definition of “Defaulting Lender” do not exist. An assignment by a Lender of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not in and of itself cause the Lender to cease to be a Defaulting Lender.
10.11 Borrower’s Rights. The provisions of this Article X are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and Borrower shall not have any rights to rely on, enforce or consent to any waiver, modification or amendment of, any of the provisions hereof; provided, however, that Borrower (a) acknowledges and agrees to the limitations set forth in Section 11.02(c) hereof on Administrative Agent’s ability to act unilaterally with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Project Documents, and (b) agrees that Administrative Agent’s inability to deliver any consent to, or approval of, an action requested by Borrower due to lack of appropriate Required Lender consent in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.02(c) hereof or the Agreement Among Lenders shall not constitute an unreasonable withholding or delay by Administrative Agent in the giving of such consent or approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be entitled to rely on consents and approvals executed by Administrative Agent without investigation as to the existence of proper Lender authorization. As among Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the provisions of this Article 10 may be amended, waived or otherwise modified by Administrative Agent and the Lenders without Borrower’s consent and without the need for Borrower to be party to any of the same.
10.12 Non-liability of Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) any inspections of the construction of the Improvements made by or through Administrative Agent or the Lenders are for purposes of administration of the Loan only and Borrower is not entitled to rely upon the same with respect to the quality, adequacy or suitability of materials or workmanship, conformity to the Plans and Specifications, state of completion or otherwise; Borrower shall make its own inspections of such construction to determine that the quality of the Improvements and all other requirements of such construction are being performed in a manner satisfactory to Borrower and in conformity with the Plans and Specifications and all other requirements; and Borrower shall immediately notify Administrative Agent, in writing, should the same not be in conformity with the Plans and Specifications and all other requirements;

(c) neither Administrative Agent nor the Lenders undertake nor assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower of any matter in connection with the Property, including, without limitation, matters relating to the quality, adequacy or suitability of: (i) the Plans and Specifications, (ii) architects, contractors, subcontractors and materialmen employed or utilized in connection with the construction of the Improvements, or the workmanship of or the materials used by any of them, or (iii) the progress or course of construction and its conformity or nonconformity with the Plans and Specifications; and Borrower shall rely entirely upon its own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information to Borrower by Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with such matters is for the protection of Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders only and neither Borrower nor any third party is entitled to rely thereon;

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.04(c) hereof.
(iv) Administrative Agent shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Lenders 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.
(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 11.04 (b) hereof and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 11.04(b) hereof, Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register (and shall promptly upon receipt thereof deliver a copy of same to each Lender (but in no event shall a copy thereof be delivered to Borrower)); provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 3.03(b), 3.10(d) or 11.03(c), Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 11.02(b) hereof that affects such Participant. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, no Lender shall sell participations without the prior written consent of Borrower, which Borrower may withhold in its sole discretion, if a consequence of doing so is that Borrower would be subjected to additional charges under either of Sections 3.08 or 3.09 hereof. Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.11 hereof as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.08 or 3.09 hereof, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.11(b) hereof with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 hereof as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Sections 3.10(c) and 10.08 hereof as though it were a Lender.

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 notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(ii) In no event may a Participant be Borrower, any Guarantor or an Affiliate of Borrower or of any Guarantor.
(d) Pledges by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
11.07 Right of Set-off. If a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and to the extent permitted under Section 10.08 hereof, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any of and all the obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender agrees to obtain approval of the Required Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) before exercising such rights.
