All interest accruing on the Loan shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year consisting of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each, except that any interest due at any time for a period of less than a full calendar month shall be calculated by multiplying the Contract Rate by a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days elapsed in such partial month and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty (360).
(b)If any regular monthly installment of principal or interest due under this Agreement, or any monthly deposit for taxes, replacements and other sums if required under any Loan Document, shall not be paid as required under this Agreement or any other Loan Document within five (5) days following the date the same is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender a late charge (the "Late Charge") of four cents ($0.04) for each dollar so overdue in order to compensate Lender for its loss of the timely use of the money and frustration of Lender in the meeting of its financial commitments and to defray part of Lender's incurred cost of collection occasioned by such late payment; provided, however, no Late Charge may be assessed on (i) the first late payment made by Borrower so long as such late payment is made within 5 days of receipt of notice from Lender of such missed payment and (ii) the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date. Any Late Charge incurred shall be immediately due and payable. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or modification of the due date for such installments or deposits or the requirement that Borrower make all payment of installments and deposits as and when the same are due and payable. The Late Charge represents the reasonable estimate of Borrower and Lender of a fair average compensation for loss that may be sustained by Lender as a result of the failure of Borrower to make timely payments. Such Late Charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Lender to collect any other amounts provided to be paid upon a default hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including without limitation interest at the Default Rate, or to declare a default hereunder, under the Mortgage or under any other Loan Document.
12
(c)Upon an Event of Default or on the Maturity Date, the unpaid principal balance of the Loan shall thereafter bear interest at the per annum interest rate (the "Default Rate") equal to the lesser of:
(i)the highest rate permitted by law to be charged on a promissory note secured by a commercial mortgage, or
(ii)the sum of three percent (3%) plus the greater of:
(A)the Contract Rate; or
(B)the Federal Funds Rate.
Interest at the Default Rate as provided in this Section shall be immediately due and payable to Lender and shall constitute additional Indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the Loan Documents.
Section 2.3Terms of Payment. The Loan shall be payable by Borrower as follows:
(a)On the date the Loan is made, a payment of interest only shall be due and payable for the period from such date to the first (1st) day of the next calendar month;
(b)Successive monthly installments of interest (in arrears) only in the amount of One Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand One Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($166,100.00), shall be made on the first (1st) day of January 2022 and on the first (1st) day of each calendar month thereafter up to and including the first (1st) day of the month immediately prior to the Maturity Date; and
(c)On the Maturity Date or on any earlier date as a result of an Acceleration Event, Borrower shall pay all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other amounts due under the Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges that, since the Loan is interest only and no principal payments are required to be made prior to the Maturity Date or an earlier date as a result of an Acceleration Event, all or a substantial portion of the principal amount of the Loan will be due on the Maturity Date.
13
Section 2.4Loan Term. The Loan Term shall commence on the date hereof and terminate on the Maturity Date.
Section 2.5Prepayment. There are no full or partial prepayment privileges of the principal amount of the Loan except as set forth in this Agreement:
(a)Borrower shall have the right to pay the Loan in full (but not in part, except as expressly set forth in Section 8.3 hereof) on any Business Day on or after, but not prior to December 1, 2024 (the "Closed Prepayment Date"), provided that no Event of Default exists and Borrower gives Lender at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of its intention to make any such prepayment (which notice may be revoked on or before the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the Prepayment Date), the Prepayment Date and the amount to be prepaid, and that Borrower also pays to Lender, as consideration for the privilege of making such prepayment, the Prepayment Premium.
(b)The "Prepayment Premium" shall be equal to the greater of (x) or (y) where:
(x) is equal to the amount to be prepaid multiplied by one percent (1%); and
(y) is the present value of the series of Monthly Payment Differentials from the date of prepayment to the Maturity Date, discounted at the Reinvestment Yield on a monthly basis.
The "Monthly Payment Differential" means the monthly interest (without amortization), which would be earned if the prepayment were invested at the Contract Rate less the monthly interest that would be earned by reinvesting the prepayment at the Reinvestment Yield.
The "Reinvestment Yield" means the yield to maturity of a Treasury Issue, adjusted from a semi-annual rate to a monthly rate, which has the closest maturity (month and year) prior to the Maturity Date, as quoted in The Wall Street Journal published in print or on-line on the second (2nd) calendar day immediately preceding the date for prepayment, but if said second (2nd) day is not a Business Day, then as quoted on the preceding Business Day. If more than one Treasury Issue has the same maturity date, then the Treasury Issue having the market yield that differs least from the Contract Rate will be used in the calculations. If The Wall Street Journal is not in publication on the applicable date, or ceases to publish such Treasury Issue information in print or on-line on the applicable date, then any other publication selected by Lender quoting daily market yields for Treasury Issues may be used.
(c)If the Maturity Date is accelerated by Lender because of the occurrence of an Event of Default or as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents (an "Acceleration Event"), the acceleration shall be deemed to be an election on the part of Borrower to prepay the Loan. Accordingly, there shall be added to the amount due after an Event of Default and resulting acceleration, the Prepayment Premium or Closed Period Prepayment Premium, as applicable, calculated as set forth below and using as the Prepayment Date the date on which any tender of payment is made, and
14
Borrower agrees to pay the same. Any tender of payment made (or judgment entered) after acceleration by or on behalf of Borrower (including payment by any guarantor or purchaser at a foreclosure sale), shall include the Prepayment Premium or Closed Period Prepayment Premium (computed as provided below), as applicable. If the Acceleration Event occurs prior to the Closed Prepayment Date, a prepayment premium (a "Closed Period Prepayment Premium") shall nevertheless be paid, which Closed Period Prepayment Premium shall be calculated as set forth in Section 2.5(b) above, except that with respect to clause (x), the Closed Period Prepayment Premium shall equal the amount to be prepaid multiplied by three percent (3%) (rather than one percent (1%)), and that with respect to clause (y), the Reinvestment Yield (calculated as provided for above) shall be reduced by two (2) percentage points (but not to less than 0).
(d)There will be due with any principal prepayment, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other fees, charges and payments due under the Loan Documents.
(e)No Prepayment Premium or Closed Period Prepayment Premium, as applicable, shall be required to be paid in connection with payment of fire, casualty, or condemnation Proceeds to Lender which Lender requires to be applied to the Indebtedness in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, except if such application to the Indebtedness is after an Event of Default.
(f)Borrower acknowledges and agrees that all of the economic terms set forth in the Loan Documents, including the Contract Rate, have been agreed to by Lender based on Lender's expectation that the Loan will not be repaid prior to the Maturity Date. However, in order to accommodate Borrower, Lender has agreed to permit Borrower to repay the Loan prior to the Maturity Date in accordance with, and subject to, the terms set forth above provided that, and as consideration for such agreement, Borrower agrees to pay Lender the Prepayment Premium or Closed Period Prepayment Premium, as applicable. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, even if Lender is able to loan the amount prepaid by Borrower to another Person on the same terms and conditions as herein provided, Lender shall not have fully recovered Lender's lost profits, costs, expenses and damages suffered as a result of such early prepayment; therefore, Borrower and Lender have agreed on the Prepayment Premium and Closed Period Prepayment Premium as compensation for Lender's estimated lost profits, costs, expenses and damages resulting from such prepayment. The Prepayment Premium or Closed Period Prepayment Premium, as applicable, shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Lender to collect any other amounts provided to be paid under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or pursuant to the provisions of law.
(g)No Prepayment Premium shall be required to be paid on or after September 1, 2028.
Section 2.6Security. The Loan shall be secured by inter alia (a) the Mortgage creating a first priority lien on the Mortgaged Property, (b) the Assignment of Leases and Rents creating a first priority lien on the Leases and the Property Income, (c) the Environmental Indemnification Agreement and (d) the liens and security interests granted in the other Loan Documents.
15
Section 2.7Payments.
(a)All payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by Borrower under the Loan Documents, shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Lender. All such payments that are regularly scheduled monthly payments of principal, interest or reserves shall be made by Borrower by automatic clearing house ("ACH") debit of a bank account of Borrower of which Lender has received at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice. All other payments from Borrower to Lender shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Lender in writing to Borrower.
(b)If the due date of any payment under the Loan Documents would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.
(c)Each payment received by Lender under the Loan Documents shall be applied in the following order:
(i)First, to the interest due on any Advances made by Lender under the Loan Documents;
(ii)Next, to the principal amount of any Advances made by Lender under the Loan Documents;
(iii)Next, to Late Charges, attorneys' fees or any other amount due under any Loan Document save for the amounts described in clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) immediately below;
(iv)Next, to any Prepayment Premium or Closed Period Prepayment Premium, as applicable, then due and payable under this Agreement;
(v)Next, to accrued interest due Lender under the Loan Documents; and
(vi)Finally, to the principal balance of the Loan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default or in the event that Borrower does not pay the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest due under this Agreement, when due, whether on the Maturity Date or on any earlier date as a result of any Acceleration Event, Lender, at its option, shall apply any payments it then receives in such order as Lender deems appropriate in its sole discretion.
ARTICLE 3.
INSURANCE AND CONDEMNATION
INSURANCE AND CONDEMNATION
Section 3.1 Insurance Requirements. All insurance coverages, limits and deductibles under this Section 3.1 must be satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion. Capitalized terms used in this Section 3.1 and not defined herein shall have the meanings
16
generally ascribed to such terms in the commercial insurance marketplace, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion.
(a)Property Insurance. Borrower shall maintain either "All Risk" or "Special Form" real and personal property insurance and "Boiler and Machinery Insurance", insuring one hundred percent (100%) of the insurable replacement cost value of the Improvements and the Equipment, and with a deductible not to exceed (i) Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) with the exception for Earthquake, Named Windstorm and Flood, providing no coinsurance or similar penalty and (ii) five percent (5%) of the insured value of the Mortgaged Property for Flood, providing no coinsurance or similar penalty. Such deductibles are personal to the Borrower named on the Cover Sheet on this Agreement, and shall not apply to any other successor, assignee or transferee of Borrower, and shall be null and void upon any transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof. Lender reserves the right upon any transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof in accordance with this Agreement to review and agree to a deductible at the time of any such transfer. Such insurance shall also cover "Rent Loss" or "Business Interruption" and "Extra Expense" on an "Actual Loss Sustained Basis" (including Rent Loss), in an amount equal to at least twelve (12) months of the Property Income, and an extended period of indemnity of at least one hundred eighty (180) days. Covered perils shall include, but not be limited to, "Wind", "Boiler and Machinery Insurance" and "Acts of Terrorism". Borrower shall also maintain "Ordinance and Law" coverage. If the Improvements are non-conforming and such non-conformity is not covered under the "Ordinance & Law" provisions, Borrower may be required by Lender to purchase a separate policy covering such non-conformity for the benefit of Lender. Lender may from time to time also require that Borrower maintain insurance acceptable to Lender for "Builder's Risk" during the period of any construction, renovation or alteration of the Improvements. If the Mortgaged Property is located within a Special Flood Hazard Area, National Flood Insurance Program ("NFIP") insurance is required. In addition, the property policy must provide and maintain a Flood Limit in excess of NFIP that is acceptable to Lender. All insurance coverages, limits and deductibles must be satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion.
(b)Intentionally Omitted.
(c)Liability Insurance. Borrower shall also maintain General Liability insurance (including contractual liability and "Acts of Terrorism") in an amount equal to no less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate, with a Per Location aggregate endorsement if multiple properties are insured under the same policy. In addition, Borrower shall maintain Umbrella or Excess Liability insurance in an amount Lender determines to be reasonable from time to time but in no event less than Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000). The deductible for General Liability insurance shall not exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000). Such deductible is personal to the Borrower named on the Cover Sheet on this Agreement, and shall not apply to any other successor, assignee or transferee of Borrower, and shall be null and void upon any transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof If applicable, Lender may, from time to time also require that Borrower maintain insurance acceptable to Lender for "Commercial Auto", "Workers Compensation", and such other insurance as Lender may require.
17
(d)Evidence of Insurance by Acceptable Insurers. At all times during the term of the Loan, Borrower shall provide to Lender the following evidences of insurance for approval by Lender: (i) an XXXXX 28 (current version) Evidence of Property Insurance provided by an authorized insurance agent, broker or insurance company or, where XXXXX 28 (current version) is not available, other evidence of insurance confirming the same rights as are provided by XXXXX 28 (current version) and all applicable policy endorsements; and (ii) an XXXXX 25 (current version) Certificate of Liability Insurance, provided by an authorized insurance agent, broker or insurance company confirming coverages are maintained for liability insurance as required to be carried by Borrower. Any XXXXX or equivalent evidencing a Blanket insurance policy shall specifically identify the replacement cost of the improvements and the annual gross rents. Within five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration date of each such policy, Borrower shall provide to Lender a signed letter from an authorized insurance agent, broker or insurance company confirming the underwriter's commitment to bind the applicable policy, and within five (5) Business Days after the expiration date of each such policy, Borrower shall provide to Lender the evidence in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii). Each evidence of insurance and certificate must include a mortgagee clause and a loss payee clause satisfactory to Lender, and any Certificate of Liability Insurance must name Lender as an Additional Insured for Commercial General Liability with respect to the Premises. Each insurance company providing coverage must have an A. M. Best rating of A-: VIII or better. So long as the Borrower named on the Cover Sheet on this Agreement holds title to the Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall not be required to provide copies of Borrower's insurance policies except if there is a claim under any insurance policy, in which case Borrower shall provide a copy of the applicable insurance policy (redacted to withhold any confidential information that does not pertain to the Mortgaged Property) upon request from Lender.
(e)Blanket Insurance Policies. Borrower's insurance requirements under this Article 3 may be satisfied by maintaining either individual policies covering only the Premises, or blanket insurance policies covering multiple properties, provided that with respect to any blanket insurance policies Borrower also covenants to either immediately reinstate any limits and coverages which are used, reduced or cancelled back up to the blanket policy limits approved by Lender, or to secure individual policy coverages for the Premises satisfying these insurance requirements.
(f)Miscellaneous Insurance Requirements. All insurance policies and endorsements required pursuant to this Agreement must be satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion and shall: (i) be endorsed to name Lender as a primary additional insured thereunder, as its interest may appear, with loss payable to Lender, without contribution, under a long-form, non-contributory mortgagee clause, or otherwise endorsed as Lender may require in its reasonable discretion; (ii) be fully paid for and contain such provisions and expiration dates and be in such form and issued by such insurance companies licensed to do business in the State; (iii) without limiting the foregoing, provide that such policy or endorsement may not be canceled or materially changed except upon at least thirty (30) days' (or, in the case of cancellation for nonpayment of the applicable premium, ten (10) days') prior written notice of intention of non-renewal, cancellation or material change to Lender, and that no act or thing done by Borrower or Lender shall invalidate the policy as against Lender; and (iv) be in form and content satisfactory to Lender. Within ten (10) Business Days following a request by Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender all
18
policies, endorsements and renewals thereof, or copies thereof by an authorized agent and any other insurance policy information and other related information as Lender may reasonably request from time to time, provided that, so long as the Borrower named on the Cover Sheet on this Agreement holds title to the Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall not be required to deliver to Lender (x) any schedule of value or insurance policy for the Mortgaged Property unless an Event of Default or significant casualty occurs and (y) copies of any policies unless a claim (redacted to withhold any confidential information that does not pertain to the Mortgaged Property) has been made under such policy. Borrower may request an extension of time not exceeding sixty (60) days to deliver the foregoing policies, endorsements and renewals or copies thereof if (1) Borrower has done all things necessary to obtain the issuance of the policies, endorsements and renewals including the payment of all premiums therefor, and (2) Borrower has delivered to Lender within the above ten (10) day period an insurance binder and evidence of insurance satisfactory to Lender issued by the approved insurer showing all required coverage to be in full force and effect for the succeeding twelve (12) month period along with evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment in full of all premiums. If Borrower fails to maintain insurance in compliance with this Agreement, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such insurance and make Advances to pay the premium therefore. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any provision of law, the Proceeds of insurance policies coming into the possession of Lender shall not be deemed trust funds and Lender shall be entitled to dispose of such Proceeds as hereinafter provided.
Section 3.2 Damage, Destruction and Restoration.
(a)In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Premises and/or Equipment which costs Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or more to repair, Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender. Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently continue to completion the repair, restoration and rebuilding of the Premises and/or Equipment so damaged or destroyed in full compliance with all Legal Requirements and with the provisions of Sections 3.2(e), (f) and (h), and free and clear from any and all liens and claims and, notwithstanding any of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, to the same size, character and condition that existed prior to the damage or destruction except for immaterial changes as determined by Lender in its reasonable judgment. Such repair, restoration and rebuilding of the Premises are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Work". Except as expressly permitted under Section 3.2(h), Borrower shall not adjust, compromise or settle any claim for insurance Proceeds which are for amounts of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or more, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as no Event of Default exists. Subject to Sections 3.2(d) and 3.2(h), Lender shall have the option in its sole discretion to apply any insurance Proceeds it may receive pursuant to this Agreement (less any reasonable out-of-pocket costs to Lender of recovering and paying out such Proceeds, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys' fees, costs and expenses) to the payment of the Indebtedness or to allow all or a portion of such Proceeds to be used for the Work. If any insurance Proceeds are applied to reduce the Indebtedness, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall apply the same, without any Prepayment Premium or Closed Period Prepayment Premium, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7(c) of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
19
the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender, at its option, may apply any insurance Proceeds to the Indebtedness in such order and priority as Lender deems appropriate in its sole discretion and a Prepayment Premium or Closed Period Prepayment Premium, as applicable, shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms of Section 2.5 in connection with any such prepayment.
(b)In the event of the foreclosure of the Mortgage or other transfer of title to or assignment of the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment of the Indebtedness in whole or in part, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all policies of insurance required by this Agreement and any insurance Proceeds shall inure to the benefit of and pass to Lender or any purchaser or transferee at the foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property to the extent allowed by such policies.
(c)Lender may notify any and all insurers under casualty and liability insurance policies that Lender has a security interest pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement in and to such insurance policies and any proceeds thereof, and, subject to Section 3.2(h), that any payments under those insurance policies are to be made directly to Lender. Lender's rights under this Section 3.2 may be exercised by Lender or a court appointed receiver appointed upon the request of Lender and irrespective of whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred under this Agreement.
(d)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.2(a), but subject to Section 3.2(h), if in Lender's reasonable judgment the cost of the Work shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan, then Lender shall, upon request by Borrower, permit Borrower to use the Proceeds for the Work (subject to the provisions of, and less Lender's costs described in, Section 3.2(e)), so long as:
(i)no Event of Default shall then exist nor any matter(s) exist which, after notice of default or passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default;
(ii)the Work can be completed, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, by the date which is the earlier to occur of (a) twelve (12) months from the date of the damage to or destruction of the Premises, or (b) four (4) months prior to the Maturity Date;
(iii)the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as calculated by Lender) for the twelve (12) month period immediately following the date when Business Interruption or Rent Loss insurance is no longer payable after the casualty is projected to be not less than 1.50:1.0 excluding from the calculation of Net Operating Income any Leases that contain any still exercisable right to cancel or terminate as a result of such damage or destruction;
(iv)all sums necessary to effect the Work over and above any available Proceeds (the "Deficiency Amount") shall be at the sole cost and expense of Borrower and Borrower shall deposit the Deficiency Amount, as estimated by Lender in its reasonable discretion, with Lender prior to commencing any Work and at all times thereafter;
20
(v)at all times during any such Work, Borrower shall maintain, at its sole cost and expense, workers' compensation (if applicable), builders risk and public liability insurance in amounts satisfactory to Lender and in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1;
(vi)at all times during any such Work, business income and extra expense including rental value insurance shall be in full force and effect and available to cover any loss of business income and rents resulting from the damage to or destruction of the Premises and/or Equipment; and
(vii)the Improvements shall be restored to substantially the same size, character and condition that existed prior to the damage or destruction except for immaterial changes as determined by Lender in its reasonable judgment.
(e)If any insurance Proceeds are used for the Work, then, unless Section 3.2(h) applies, such Proceeds together with any Deficiency Amount shall be held by Lender and shall be paid out from time to time to Borrower as the Work progresses (less any reasonable out-of-pocket costs to Lender of recovering and paying out such Proceeds and/or Deficiency Amount, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys' fees, costs and expenses and costs allocable to inspecting the Work and the plans and specifications therefor), subject to each of the following conditions:
(i)the Work shall be conducted under the supervision of a certified and registered architect or engineer satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion. Before Borrower commences any Work, other than temporary work to protect property or prevent interference with business, Lender shall have approved the plans and specifications for the Work, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being nevertheless understood that such plans and specifications shall provide for Work so that, upon completion thereof, the Premises shall be at least equal in value and general utility to the Premises immediately prior to the damage or destruction;
(ii)each request for payment shall be made on not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Lender and shall be accompanied by a certificate of the architect or engineer in (i) above stating: (A) that all of the Work completed has been done in substantial compliance with the approved plans and specifications, if required under (i) above; (B) that the sum requested is justly required to reimburse Borrower for payments by Borrower, or is justly due to the contractor, subcontractors, materialmen, laborers, engineers, architects or other Persons rendering services or materials for the Work (giving a brief description of such services and materials), and that when added to all sums previously paid out by Lender does not exceed the value of the Work done to the date of such certificate; (C) if the sum requested is to cover payment relating to repair and restoration of Equipment required or relating to the Premises, that title to the items of Equipment covered by the request for payment is vested in Borrower; and (D) that the amount of such Proceeds together with any Deficiency Amount remaining in the hands of Lender will be sufficient on completion of the Work to pay for the same in full (giving in such reasonable detail as Lender may require an estimate of the cost of such completion). Additionally, each request for payment shall contain
21
a statement signed by Borrower approving both the Work done to date and the Work covered by the request for payment in question;
(iii)each request for payment shall be accompanied by waivers of lien or conditional waivers of lien satisfactory to Lender covering that part of the Work for which payment or reimbursement is being requested and, if required by Lender, a search prepared by a title insurance company or licensed abstractor, or by other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that there has not been filed with respect to the Premises any mechanics' or other lien relating to any part of the Work not discharged of record. Additionally, as to any Equipment covered by the request for payment, Lender shall be provided with evidence of payment therefor and such further evidence satisfactory to assure Lender of its valid first lien on the Equipment;
(iv)Lender shall have the right to inspect the Work at all reasonable times and may condition any disbursement of Proceeds upon the satisfactory completion, as determined in Lender's reasonable discretion, of any portion of the Work for which payment or reimbursement is being requested. Lender shall cause any inspection to occur within thirty (30) days after receipt of Borrower's written request for payment or reimbursement. Neither the approval by Lender of the plans and specifications for the Work nor the inspection by Lender of the Work shall make Lender responsible for the preparation of such plans and specifications or the compliance of such plans and specifications, or of the Work, with any applicable law, regulation, ordinance, covenant or agreement;
(v)Proceeds shall not be disbursed more frequently than every thirty (30) days; and
(vi)any request for payment made after the Work has been completed shall be accompanied by a copy or copies of any certificate or certificates required by law to render occupancy and full operation of the Premises legal.
(f)Upon any failure on the part of Borrower to promptly commence the Work or to proceed diligently and continuously to completion of the Work or upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, at Lender's option, Lender shall be entitled to apply at any time all or any portion of the Proceeds it then or thereafter holds to the repayment of the Indebtedness or to the curing of any Event of Default.
(g)Upon completion of the Work and payment in full thereof, any unexpended Proceeds, shall, provided that no Event of Default exists and there are no less than three (3) months remaining prior to the Maturity Date, be paid over to Borrower. If an Event of Default exists or if there are less than three (3) months remaining until the Maturity Date, any such Proceeds may, at Lender's option, be applied to the reduction of the Indebtedness.
(h)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.2, if no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing (nor any matters have occurred which, after notice or passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default) and in Lender's reasonable judgment the cost of the Work is less than three percent (3%) of
22
the outstanding principal balance of the Note as of the date of loss or damage to the Premises and/or Equipment and the Work can be completed in less than two hundred seventy (270) days, then Lender shall, upon request by Borrower, permit Borrower to apply for and receive the insurance Proceeds directly from the insurer (and Lender shall advise the insurer to pay over such Proceeds directly to Borrower), provided that Borrower shall apply such insurance Proceeds solely to the prompt and diligent commencement and completion of such Work.
Section 3.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall notify Lender promptly of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceedings for the condemnation or taking of the Premises or any portion thereof and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in such proceedings and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender in its reasonable discretion to permit such participation. Borrower shall not adjust, compromise, settle or enter into any agreement with respect to such proceedings without the prior written consent of Lender. All Proceeds of any condemnation, or purchase in lieu thereof, of the Premises or any portion thereof are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Lender. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to collect and receive such Proceeds, to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor and, in Lender's sole discretion, to apply such Proceeds (less any reasonable out-of-pocket costs to Lender of recovering and paying out such Proceeds, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys' fees, costs and expenses allocable to inspecting any repair, restoration or rebuilding work and the plans and specifications therefor) toward the payment of the Indebtedness or to the repair, restoration or rebuilding of the Premises in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.2. If the Proceeds are used to reduce the Indebtedness, they shall be applied in the order provided in Section 2.7(c), without any Prepayment Premium or Closed Period Prepayment Premium, as applicable. Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver all instruments requested by Lender for the purpose of confirming the assignment of the condemnation Proceeds to Lender. Borrower waives the provisions of any law prohibiting Lender from taking such an election.

For any Lease requiring Lender approval, if, within 5 Business Days after Lender's receipt of Borrower's written request for such approval stating: "TIME SENSITIVE RESPONSE REQUIRED WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OR DEEMED APPROVAL MAY OCCUR", together with the following: (i) a true and complete copy of the proposed final Lease, including any amendments, exhibits and side agreements relating thereto, (ii) if the lease is prepared based on Borrower's standard form, a blackline showing differences from that form, (iii) if lease is not prepared based on Borrower's standard form, a lease summary describing in reasonable detail all material terms, and (iv) any available tenant financial statements or credit reports (collectively, the "Lease Approval Package"), Lender does not approve or disapprove such Lease (disapproval to include reasons), Borrower may deliver a second notice to Lender, together with a second Lease Approval Package, stating: "PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF SUBSECTION 5.1(a) OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT EXECUTED BY RPT THE XXXXX, LLC, AS BORROWER, DATED NOVEMBER 19, 2021, LENDER HAS FAILED TO RESPOND TO THE REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A LEASE. FAILURE OF LENDER TO RESPOND TO BORROWER'S REQUEST FOR SUCH APPROVAL WITHIN 3 BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS SECOND NOTICE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE LENDER'S APPROVAL OF SUCH LEASE". If Lender fails to approve or disapprove (which such disapproval shall include reasons) of such Lease within such additional 3 Business Day period, such Lease shall be deemed approved by Lender.
(b)With respect to each Lease, Borrower shall perform all obligations as lessor and, to the extent it is commercially reasonable to do so, shall enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained therein on the part of the lessee thereunder to be performed or observed. Borrower shall not take any action which would cause any Lease to cease to be in full force and effect unless the tenant under such Lease is in default under the terms of the Lease, except with the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned,
24
until repayment of the entire Indebtedness. Borrower shall not cancel, terminate or surrender any Lease, except from and after the Closing Date only, less than five (5%) of all Residential Leases or consent to any cancellation, termination or surrender thereof (except for a termination at the end of a Lease term in accordance with the terms of such Lease or if the tenant under such Lease is in default under the terms of the Lease).
(c)Any ground lease must be approved by Lender in advance in writing. Unless otherwise specifically approved, any ground lease affecting the Mortgaged Property must be or be made to be expressly subject and subordinate to the lien and terms of the Mortgage. Fee owner(s) shall provide Lender with an estoppel and recognition agreement acceptable to Lender.
(d)To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender may require at any time an Event of Default continues to exist uncured that Borrower transfer to Lender all tenant security deposits, including any letters of credit securing tenant lease obligations. Lender may hold and co-mingle such security deposits without interest, except as required by applicable law.
Section 5.2 Management. At all times prior to the payment in full of the Indebtedness, the Mortgaged Property shall be managed by a management company satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion, and pursuant to a management agreement satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion. In addition, any leasing commission agreement affecting the Mortgaged Property must be satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion. Such management agreement and leasing commission agreement shall be subordinate to the Mortgage. Lender approves GREP Southwest, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as manager of the Mortgaged Property. If at any time during the existence of an Event of Default the management company, management agreement or leasing commissions agreement is not satisfactory to Lender, Borrower shall have up to sixty (60) days after written notice to Borrower of Lender's disapproval, to obtain a management company, management agreement and/or leasing commissions agreement approved by and satisfactory to Lender.
Section 5.3 Impositions.
(a)Borrower shall pay and discharge all Impositions prior to delinquency and upon Lender's written request, shall provide to Lender validated receipts or other evidence satisfactory to Lender showing the payment of such Impositions within fifteen (15) days after the same would otherwise have become delinquent. Borrower's obligation to pay Impositions pursuant to this Agreement shall include, to the extent permitted by applicable law, taxes resulting from future changes in law which impose upon Lender an obligation to pay any property taxes or other Impositions. Should Borrower default in the payment of any Impositions, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make an Advance to pay such Impositions or any portion thereof.
(b)Borrower shall not be required to pay, discharge or remove any Imposition so long as Borrower contests in good faith such Imposition or the validity, applicability or amount thereof by an appropriate legal proceeding which operates to prevent the collection of such amounts and the sale of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof; provided, however, that such contest will not result in a tax certificate or other sale of the tax lien and prior to the date on which such Imposition would
25
otherwise have become delinquent Borrower shall have: (i) given Lender prior written notice of such contest; and (ii) unless such amounts have been paid in protest or otherwise deposited with the local taxing authority, deposited with Lender, and shall deposit such additional amounts as are necessary to keep on deposit at all times, an amount equal to at least one hundred five percent (105%) of the total of: (A) the balance of such Imposition then remaining unpaid; plus (B) all interest, penalties, costs and charges accrued or accumulated thereon. Any such contest shall be prosecuted with due diligence, and Borrower shall promptly pay the amount of such Imposition as finally determined, together with all interest, penalties, costs and charges payable in connection therewith. Lender shall have full power and authority to apply any amount deposited with Lender under this Section 5.3(b) to the payment of any unpaid Imposition to prevent the sale of any tax lien or the sale or forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) for non-payment thereof. Lender shall have no liability, however, for failure to so apply any amount deposited unless Borrower requests the application of such amount to the payment of the particular Imposition for which such amount was deposited. Any surplus retained by Lender after payment of the Imposition for which a deposit was made shall be repaid to Borrower unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case said surplus may be retained by Lender to be applied to the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 5.3(b) to the contrary, Borrower shall pay any Imposition which it might otherwise be entitled to contest if, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, failure to pay will result in a tax certificate or other sale of the tax lien or the Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) is in jeopardy or in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed; or Lender may make an Advance to pay the same. Additionally, in such event, if Lender is prevented by law or judicial or administrative order from paying such Imposition that Borrower has failed to pay, then Lender, at its option, may declare the entire Indebtedness immediately due and payable.
(c)Borrower shall deposit with Lender, to be held by Escrow Agent, monthly, on each Payment Date, 1/12th of the annual charges (as estimated by Lender) for Impositions with respect to the Mortgaged Property. If required by Lender, Borrower shall also deposit with Lender, to be held by Escrow Agent, simultaneously with such monthly deposits and/or the execution of this Agreement, a sum of money which together with such monthly deposits will be sufficient to make the payment of each such charge at least thirty (30) days prior to the date initially due. Should such charges not be ascertainable at the time any deposit is required to be made, the deposit shall be made on the basis of the charges for the prior year or payment period, as estimated by Lender in its reasonable discretion. When the charges are fixed for the then current year or period, Borrower shall deposit any deficiency on demand. All funds deposited with Escrow Agent shall be held without interest (unless the payment of interest thereon is required under applicable law), may be commingled with Escrow Agent's other funds, and shall be applied in payment of the foregoing charges when and as payable provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred. Should an Event of Default occur, the funds so deposited may be applied in payment of the charges for which such funds shall have been deposited or to the payment of the Indebtedness or any other charges affecting the Mortgaged Property, as Lender in its sole discretion may determine, but no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided. Borrower shall provide Lender with bills and all other documents necessary for the payment of the foregoing charges within five (5) Business Days following Borrower's receipt of the same, but in any event at least
26
fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which each payment thereof shall first become due.
(d)Lender agrees that Borrower shall not be required to make the deposits required under Section 5.3(c) above to pay Impositions as long as each of the following terms and conditions continue to be satisfied, as determined by Lender:
(i)No Event of Default exists under the Loan Documents;
(ii)There has been no transfer of title to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property; and
(iii)The Mortgaged Property's net operating income (reduced by a capital expenditure reserve of $250/unit/year), reviewed from time to time, but at least annually, based on Borrower's most recently submitted financial statements satisfactory to Lender, must not be less than 1.30 times the required payments of principal (calculated on a 30-year amortizing basis) and interest on the Loan.
In the event that any one or more of the above conditions are not satisfied, Borrower shall, upon Lender's written demand, immediately commence making the deposits for Impositions pursuant to the terms of Section 5.3(c) above and shall continue to make such deposits for the remainder of the Loan Term notwithstanding the cure or satisfaction of any or all of said conditions.

Section 6.3 Title.
(a)Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the Premises and good indefeasible title to the balance of the Mortgaged Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever, except the Permitted Encumbrances.

Borrower further stipulates and warrants that all proceeds of the Loan will be used for said business, professional or commercial enterprise.
Section 6.16 Legal Requirements and Maintenance of Mortgaged Property. To Borrower's Knowledge, except as disclosed to Lender in writing, the Mortgaged Property is in compliance in all material respects with all Legal Requirements. Borrower shall maintain the Mortgaged Property in good and safe condition, working order and repair, and comply with all Legal Requirements in all material respects. Not more than once in any calendar year (unless there is an emergency, unless an Event of Default exists, or unless required in connection with a Transfer, Participation or Securitization), and with a representative of Borrower present, Borrower shall permit Lender and its agents to enter upon and inspect: (a) the areas of the Mortgaged Property which are open to the public at all reasonable hours without prior notice and (b) subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases, all other areas of the Mortgaged Property during regular business hours upon at least forty-eight (48) hours prior written notice, except that no notice shall be required in the event of an emergency. Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be granted or withheld in Lender's sole and absolute discretion: (t) change the use of the Premises; (u) cause or permit the use or occupancy of any part of the Premises to be discontinued if such discontinuance would violate any zoning or other law, ordinance or regulation; (v) apply for or consent to any subdivision, re-subdivision, zoning reclassification, modification or restriction affecting the Premises; (w) commit or permit any waste, structural or material addition to or material alteration, demolition or removal of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof (other than alterations required pursuant to an Acceptable Lease, and provided that the Equipment included within the Collateral may be removed if obsolete or if replaced with similar items of equal or greater value); (x) take any action whatsoever to apply for, consent to, or acquiesce in the conversion of the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, to a condominium or cooperative form of ownership, (y) take any action whatsoever to apply for, consent to or acquiesce in any subdivision or re-subdivision of the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, or (z) cause or permit any space in the Premises to be leased, used or occupied for or in connection with any marijuana related use or business, whether or not marijuana is a dominant or incidental use or element of such business or space in the Improvements and whether or not such use is legal or permissible under any applicable laws, rules or regulations (and for the avoidance of doubt, recreational use by any of the tenants in the Premises of marijuana in accordance with Legal Requirements shall not be a violation of the aforesaid restriction). No provision of this Section 6.16 shall prohibit Borrower from undertaking and completing tenant improvement work authorized under Leases previously approved by Lender or not requiring Lender's prior approval.
Section 6.17 Solvency. (a) Neither Borrower nor Indemnitor has entered into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and (b) Borrower and Indemnitor have each received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the 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 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
36
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 for such entity 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 other 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 it and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of such party). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any Indemnitor or any Principal and neither Borrower nor any Indemnitor has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor Indemnitor has been involved in a foreclosure or in a default on any indebtedness owing to Lender or to any affiliate of Lender or on any other indebtedness obtained for commercial purposes. All financial and other information submitted by or on behalf of Borrower and Indemnitor to Lender in connection with the Loan is true, complete and correct in all material respects. All of Borrower's obligations to creditors, including, but not limited to, all payments and accounts relating to the Premises, are current.

CONVEYANCES, ENCUMBRANCES AND BORROWINGS
CONVEYANCES, ENCUMBRANCES AND BORROWINGS
Section 8.1 Prohibition Against Conveyances, Encumbrances and Borrowing. Except with the prior written consent of Lender, and except as expressly permitted in Sections 8.2 and 8.3, neither Borrower nor any other Person shall (the events in (a) and (b), collectively, a "Conveyance") (a) sell, transfer, convey, assign, mortgage, encumber, pledge, hypothecate, grant a security interest in, grant options with respect to, or otherwise dispose of (directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, including, without limitation, any Division, and whether or not for consideration or of record) all or any portion of any legal or beneficial interest in: (i) all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property including the Leases; or (ii) all or any ownership interest in Borrower or in any Upstream Owner, except that Conveyances of any publicly traded shares in any Upstream Owner shall be specifically permitted without the consent of Lender; or (b) take any action that would result in a change in Control of Borrower or Indemnitor. In furtherance of the foregoing, except for pledges in connection with a loan or line of credit in favor of the Trust that is secured by all or substantially all of the assets of the Trust (provided that enforcement of such pledge would not cause a violation of Section 8.2), subordinate liens (voluntary or involuntary) secured by any portion of the Mortgaged Property (including a XXXX Xxxx), or any beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property, and any mezzanine or any other financing, whether unsecured or secured by any ownership interest in Borrower or in any Upstream Owner, shall not be permitted, except with the prior written consent of Lender in each case. In addition, Borrower shall not incur or accept a PACE Loan, and shall not permit or suffer the existence of any XXXX Xxxx on all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, in either
39
case without Lender's prior written consent thereto. Without limiting Lender's right to withhold its consent to any Conveyance, any Conveyance must not be to a tenancy in common or an OFAC Prohibited Person. All requests for Lender's consent under this Section 8.1 shall be on a form previously approved by Lender and shall be accompanied by the payment of Lender's standard processing fee for such transactions then in effect. Lender's consent to any of the foregoing actions, if given, may be conditioned upon a change in the interest rate, maturity date, amortization period or other terms under this Agreement, the payment of a transfer or encumbrance fee and/or any other requirements of Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to easements or access licenses (or amendments thereto), nor shall Lender require a change in the terms of the Loan in connection with a request for consent to easements or access licenses (or amendments thereto) so long as such easements or access licenses do not have an adverse impact on the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property. In addition to the standard processing fee and the transfer or encumbrance fee referred to in this Section 8.1, Borrower shall pay or reimburse Lender within five (5) days after demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys' fees, costs and expenses, title search costs, and title insurance endorsement premiums) incurred by Lender in connection with the review, approval and documentation of any such transaction. The foregoing prohibitions are not intended to prevent Borrower from entering into Leases that are Acceptable Leases, are not intended to prevent Borrower from disposing of obsolete personal property or worn personal property that is replaced with new personal property of similar utility, or to prevent the individual Upstream Owners (other than any general partner or managing member of Borrower or any other Upstream Owner that is required to comply with the provisions of Section 6.12) from obtaining personal loans unrelated to Borrower or the Mortgaged Property and are also not intended to prevent Borrower from incurring reasonable and customary equipment leases, trade payables and unsecured operational debt incurred with trade creditors in the ordinary course of its business of owning and operating the Mortgaged Property in such amounts as are reasonable and customary under the circumstances that will be satisfied when due and payable, provided that such debt is not evidenced by a note and is paid when due and payable, subject to reasonable and customary rights to contest such obligations, and provided there is sufficient projected Net Operating Income at such time to do so.
Section 8.2 Permitted Transfers.
(a)Notwithstanding the prohibitions in Section 8.1, the direct or indirect assignment or transfer of limited partnership interests in RREEF Property Operating Partnership, LP shall be permitted without notice to Lender or the payment of any fee, provided that, after giving effect to such transfer, (i) the Trust continues to collectively both Control Borrower and own at least 51% of all direct and indirect interests in Borrower and the Mortgaged Property and (ii) there is no transfer of title to any Mortgaged Property. With respect to any transfer that will result in the transferee (together with any of its Affiliates) owning 20% or more of the direct or indirect interests in Borrower if they did not own 20% of the direct or indirect interest in Borrower prior to said transfer, Borrower shall provide Lender with 10 days prior notice of said transfer (together with any information that Lender reasonably requires) in order to permit Lender the ability to perform its “Know Your Customer” due diligence on said transferee (and if Lender concludes that said transferee is not a permitted transferee then such transfer shall not be a permitted transfer).
40
(b)Notwithstanding the prohibitions in Section 8.1 and without limiting Section 8.2(a) as it applies to transfers of limited partnership interests in RREEF Property Operating Partnership, LP, the direct or indirect assignment or transfer of the ownership interests in Borrower shall not require Lender's prior written consent, provided that each of the following conditions is satisfied:
(i)No monetary default or Event of Default exists;

(iii)After giving effect to such assignment or transfer, the Trust continues to both (1) own at least 51% of all legal and beneficial ownership interests in Borrower and (ii) Control Borrower;

To the extent the Loan Documents require any other reserves or deposits the same shall be established by the proposed transferee prior to the date of closing of the proposed transfer. The foregoing requirement for deposits and reserves shall be required notwithstanding that any of the foregoing may have been waived by Lender with respect to Borrower either in the Application, the Loan Documents or in any side letter or agreement executed by Lender.

If Borrower shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform any act required by the Loan Documents, then while any Event of Default exists, and without notice to or demand upon Borrower and without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse Lender may have because of such Event of Default, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make Advances to make such payment or perform such act, and shall have the right to enter upon the Premises for such purpose and to take all such action thereon and with respect to the Mortgaged Property as it may deem necessary or appropriate. Similarly, in making any payments to protect the security intended to be created by the Loan Documents, Lender shall not be bound to inquire into the validity of any apparent or threatened adverse title, lien, encumbrance, claim or charge before making an Advance for the purpose of preventing or removing the same. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against, and be responsible for, any and all actual out-of-pocket losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys' fees, incurred or accruing by reason of any acts performed by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.2, including those arising from the joint, concurrent, or comparative negligence of Lender, except as a result of Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event shall Borrower be responsible for any unforeseeable consequential, punitive, exemplary, special or treble damages unless such consequential, punitive, exemplary, special or treble damages are incurred by Lender by claims brought by third parties.
Section 10.3 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. 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, and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Mortgaged Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, homestead exemption, 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 Mortgaged Property for the collection of the Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Indebtedness out of the net proceeds of the Mortgaged Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. Borrower agrees that the actions, sales, proceedings and foreclosure described herein or in any of the other Loan Documents may be commenced in any order determined by Lender.
48
Section 10.4 Advances. Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make Advances and obtain reimbursement for any and all Advances to satisfy any of Borrower's obligations under this Agreement that Borrower fails to timely satisfy, which Advances shall constitute additions to the Loan. Lender may make an Advance in reliance on any xxxx, statement or assessment procured from the appropriate governmental authority or other issuer thereof without inquiring into the accuracy or validity thereof. All Advances shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date that each such Advance or expense is made or incurred to the date of repayment. Borrower shall pay or reimburse Lender within five (5) Business Days after written demand for any and all Advances made pursuant to this Agreement, including for all interest thereon and for all costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys' and appraisers' and receivers' fees, costs and expenses and the expenses and reasonable fees of any similar official) related or incidental to the collection of the Indebtedness, any foreclosure of the Mortgage or any other Loan Document, any enforcement, compromise or settlement of any Loan Document or the Indebtedness in any judicial, arbitration, administrative, probate, appellate, bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceeding, as well as in any post-judgment proceeding to collect or enforce any judgment or order relating to the Indebtedness or any Loan Document, as well as any defense or assertion of the rights or claims of Lender in respect of any thereof, by litigation or otherwise. All Advances made and any reasonable expenses incurred at any time by Lender pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents or under applicable law shall be secured by the Mortgage as part of the Indebtedness, with equal rank and priority.
Section 10.5 Participation In Proceedings. Lender may, after written notice to Borrower: (a) appear in and defend any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of either Lender or Borrower, in which Lender is named or which Lender determines may adversely affect the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgage, the Lien thereof or any other Loan Document; and (b) institute any action or proceeding which Lender determines should be instituted to protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property or its rights under the Loan Documents, including foreclosure proceedings.

In the case of a Transfer, the transferee shall have, to the extent of such Transfer, the rights, benefits and obligations of "Lender" under the Loan Documents. Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, investor in such Transfer, Participation or Securitization or any Rating Agency rating such Securitization (collectively, the "Investor") and each prospective Investor or any agency maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan, the Mortgaged Property, Borrower, any Principal, and any Indemnitor, whether provided by Borrower, any Indemnitor, or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable.

Section 12.14 Cooperation. Borrower shall, and shall cause each Principal and Indemnitor to, cooperate with Lender in connection with servicing the Loan and any Transfer, Participation, Securitization or any other financing created or obtained in connection with the loan, including:
(a)Estoppel Certificates. Borrower, within ten (10) Business Days following a request by Lender, not to exceed two requests per calendar year, shall provide Lender or any proposed assignee with an estoppel certificate containing the information set forth in Section 6.9 and such other information that Lender shall request in its reasonable discretion, duly acknowledged and certified;
(b)Bifurcation of Note. The Note and the Mortgage may, at any time until the same shall be fully paid and satisfied, at the sole election of Lender, be split or divided into two or more notes and two or more security instruments, each of which shall cover all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property to be more particularly described therein. To that end, Borrower, upon written request of Lender, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered by any Indemnitor or the then owner of any of the Mortgaged Property, to Lender and/or its designee or designees substitute notes and security instruments in such principal amounts, aggregating not more than the then unpaid principal amount of Indebtedness, and containing terms, provisions and clauses substantially similar to those contained herein and in the Note, which, in the aggregate, will have economic terms substantially consistent with the Loan, and such other documents and instruments as may be required by Lender, which have no material adverse effect on Borrower and which do not increase the obligations of Borrower in any non-administrative or non de minimus way. Lender shall reimburse Borrower for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such Transfer, Participation or Securitization; and
(c)Transfer of Funds. In the event of a Securitization, all funds held by Lender in connection with the Loan may be deposited in eligible accounts at eligible institutions as then defined and required by any Rating Agency. Borrower and Indemnitor may be required to execute additional documents in connection with any such Transfer, Participation, Securitization or financing, including a new note or notes, which have no material adverse effect on Borrower. Borrower shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket costs in connection with such compliance.
(d)Use of Provided Information. Lender agrees to keep confidential all Provided Information provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing any such information (i) to any current or future loan participant or purchaser of the Loan or an interest therein provided that any such participant or loan purchaser has or shall either (A) enter into a confidentiality agreement agreeing to keep such Provided Information confidential and use such information solely in connection with its ownership interest or potential ownership interest in the Loan or (B) enter into an investment management agreement or other blanket agreement with Lender or Barings containing confidentiality provisions, (ii) to its employees, officers, directors, agents, attorneys, rating agencies, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its Affiliates who are advised of the obligations set forth in this Section 12.14(d), (iii) upon the request or demand of any governmental authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any law or court order, (iv) if required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (v) that has been
56
publicly disclosed, or (vi) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
Section 12.15 Register. Lender shall cause to be kept a register (the "Register") for the registration of ownership and transfer or assignment of the Note or any substitute note or notes secured by the Mortgage. The names and addresses of the registered owners of such notes, the transfers or assignment of such notes and the names and addresses of the transferees of such notes will be registered in the Register under such reasonable regulations as Lender may prescribe. Borrower and Lender shall deem and treat the registered owner of any note as shown in the Register as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and neither Borrower nor Lender shall be affected by any notice to the contrary and payment of the principal of, interest on, and Prepayment Premium or Closed Period Prepayment Premium, as applicable, if any, due on or with respect to the related note shall be made only to or upon the order of such registered owner. All such payments so made shall be valid and effective to satisfy and discharge the liability of Borrower upon such notes to the extent of the sums so paid. Upon reasonable request from time to time, Lender shall permit Borrower to examine the Register.
Section 12.16 Limitation on Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable usury laws. Accordingly, all agreements between Borrower and Lender with respect to the Loan are hereby expressly limited so that in no event, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender or charged by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be lent hereunder or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount allowed by law. If the Loan would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the State and the laws of the United States of America), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents: (a) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under the Loan Documents shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited, without any Prepayment Premium or Closed Period Prepayment Premium, as applicable, to the outstanding principal of the Loan; and (b) if the Maturity Date is accelerated by reason of an election by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, or in the event of any prepayment, then any consideration which constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by applicable law. In such case, excess interest, if any, provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be amortized, pro-rated, allocated and spread from the date of advance until payment in full thereof so that the actual rate of interest is uniform through the term hereof. If such amortization, pro-ration, allocation and spreading is not permitted under applicable law, then such excess interest shall be cancelled automatically on the Note as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited, without any Prepayment Premium or Closed Period Prepayment Premium, as applicable, to the outstanding principal of the Loan. The terms and provisions of this Section 12.16 shall control and supersede every other provision of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents are contracts made under and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State as set forth in Section 12.19, except that if at any time the laws of the United States of America permit Lender to contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive a higher rate of interest than is allowed by the laws of the State (whether such federal laws directly so provide or refer to the law of any state), then such federal laws shall to such extent govern as to the rate of interest which Lender may contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive under the Loan Documents.
57
Section 12.17 Survival. All of the representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities of Borrower hereunder (other than relating to environmental matters which are instead addressed in the Environmental Indemnification Agreement) shall survive (a) until full and final repayment of the entire Indebtedness (including satisfaction of any outstanding obligations under the Transfer Guaranty), (b) the transfer (by sale, foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) of any or all right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property to any party, and (c) any assignment by Lender of any interest in the Loan hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the making of such assignment, notwithstanding that after giving effect to such assignment Lender may cease to be a "Lender" hereunder.
Section 12.18 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND FREELY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, OR RELATED TO, THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY, AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AND EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE OTHER PARTY HAS NOT MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR IN ANY WAY TO MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. BORROWER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BORROWER HAS BEEN REPRESENTED (OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED) IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED BY BORROWER AND THAT BORROWER HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL.
Section 12.19 Governing Law. In all respects, including matters of construction and performance of this Agreement and the obligations arising hereunder, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State in which the Premises are located applicable to contracts and obligations made and performed in such State and any applicable laws of the United States of America. Interpretation and construction of this Agreement shall be according to the contents hereof and without presumption or standard of construction in favor of or against Borrower or Lender.
58
Section 12.20 Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. Borrower hereby submits to personal jurisdiction in the State in which the Premises are located for the enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and irrevocably waives any and all rights to object to such jurisdiction for the purposes of litigation to enforce any provision of this Agreement. Borrower hereby consents to the jurisdiction of and agrees that any action, suit or proceeding to enforce this Agreement may be brought in any state or federal court in the state in which the Premises are located. Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection that it may have to the laying of the venue of any such actions, suit, or proceeding in any such court and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
Section 12.21 Agent for Service of Process. Borrower hereby designates and appoints CT Corporation System, having an address of 0000 X Xxxxxxxx Xx. Xxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000-0000, as its authorized agent to accept and acknowledge on its behalf service of any and all process which may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding in any federal or state court and agrees that service of process upon said agent at said address and written notice of said service mailed or delivered to Borrower in the manner provided herein shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon Borrower, in any such suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement. Borrower (a) shall give prompt notice to Lender of any change of address of its authorized agent hereunder, (b) may at any time and from time to time designate a substitute authorized agent with an office in the State where the Premises are located (which substitute agent and office shall be designated as the person and address for service of process), and (c) shall promptly designate such a substitute if its authorized agent ceases to have an office in the State where the Premises are located or is dissolved without leaving a successor.
Section 12.22 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Lender and Borrower and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.
Section 12.23 Pledge and Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby pledges to Lender, and grants a security interest in, any and all monies now or hereafter deposited with Lender from time to time as additional security for the payment of the Loan, but subject to the rights of tenants with respect to any tenant security deposits under Leases. Borrower shall not further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any monies on deposit therein from time to time or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 financing statements (except those naming Lender as the secured party) to be filed with respect thereto. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any such sums then deposited with Lender to the payment of the charges for which such funds have been deposited or to the payment of the Loan or any other charges affecting the security of the Loan, as Lender may elect, but no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender. Until expended or applied as above provided, such funds shall constitute additional security for the Loan.

Section 12.24 Costs. Borrower shall pay all reasonable Costs incurred by Lender in connection with the documentation, modification, workout, collection or enforcement of the Loan or any of the Loan Documents (as applicable), including probate, appellate and bankruptcy proceedings, any post-judgment proceedings to collect or enforce any judgment or order relating to the Loan or any of the Loan Documents (as applicable), and all such Costs shall be included as additional Indebtedness bearing interest from the date incurred at the Default Rate set forth herein until paid. In any action to foreclose the lien hereof or otherwise enforce Lender's rights and remedies hereunder, there shall be allowed and included as additional Indebtedness all Costs which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Lender. For the purposes hereof "Costs" means all actual, out-of-pocket expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Lender including repair costs, payments to remove or protect against liens, reasonable attorneys' fees (including fees of Lender's inside counsel), receivers' fees, appraisers' fees, engineers' fees, accountants' fees, independent consultants' fees (including environmental consultants), all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any of the foregoing, Lender's actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses related to any audit or inspection of the Mortgaged Property, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers' charges, stamp taxes, publication costs, and costs (which may be estimates as to items to be expended after entry of an order or judgment) for procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and examination, title insurance policies, and similar data and assurances with respect to title as Lender may (in its reasonable discretion) deem necessary either to prosecute any action or to evidence to bidders at any sale of the partnership interests in Borrower the true condition of the title to, or the value of, the Mortgaged Property. Further, all "Costs" shall include such other actual out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees as may be incurred by Lender in the protection of the Mortgaged Property and the maintenance of the lien of the Mortgage, including, attorneys' fees, expenses and costs in any litigation or proceeding affecting this Agreement, the Mortgage, the Note, the other Loan Documents, the Mortgaged Property or the personal property, including probate, appellate, and bankruptcy proceedings, and any post-judgment proceedings to collect or enforce any judgment or order relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to obtain any court order or the appointment of a receiver to enforce Lender's rights or in preparation for the commencement or defense of any action or proceeding, shall be immediately due and payable to Lender, with interest thereon from the date incurred at the Default Rate, and shall be secured by the Mortgage. This provision is separate and several, and shall survive the merger of this provision into any judgment.
Section 12.25 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the respective parties thereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
60
(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
ARTICLE 13.
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 13.1 Appointment, Powers and Immunities. At all times when there is a lender other than (including in addition to) Lender under this Agreement, the Lenders shall be deemed to appoint and authorize the Administrative Agent to act for all purposes as their agent under the Loan Documents. The provisions of this Article 13 shall not apply at any time when the Administrative Agent is the sole Lender.
Section 13.2 Reliance by Borrower on Administrative Agent. At all times when there is more than one Lender, (a) Borrower (i) is entitled to rely on the Administrative Agent for any waiver, amendment, approval or consent given by "Lender" under the Loan Documents, (ii) shall adhere only to waivers, amendments, approvals or consents given by Administrative Agent, on behalf of "Lender" under the Loan Documents, and (iii) shall make all payments under the Notes and the other Loan Documents to Administrative Agent, as set forth herein; (b) Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of all of the Lenders, be permitted to take all actions, including exercising all remedies, permitted to be taken by "Lender" under the Loan Documents (either by law or pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents); and (c) all legal action taken respecting the Loan Documents shall be taken by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and all default notices under the Loan Documents will be provided by the Administrative Agent. Unless and until the Lenders notify Borrower otherwise, the Administrative Agent is Barings LLC. The use of the term "agent" in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Notes, unless otherwise directed by Administrative Agent in writing, all payments under the Loan Documents shall be made by Borrower to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7(a).
Section 13.3 Rights as a Lender. If the Administrative Agent is also a Lender hereunder it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.
