II. GENERAL TERMS
2.1 Loan; Disbursement to Borrower.
2.1.1 The Loan. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender
hereby agrees to make and Borrower hereby agrees to accept the Loan on the Closing Date.
2.1.2 Disbursement to Borrower. Borrower may request and receive only one borrowing
hereunder in respect of the Loan and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the
Loan may not be reborrowed. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the full proceeds of the Loan
have been disbursed by Lender to Borrower on the Closing Date.
26
2.1.3 The Notes, Security Instrument and Loan Documents. The Loan shall be evidenced by
the Notes and secured by the Security Instrument, the Assignment of Leases, this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.
2.1.4 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan (a) to (i) repay and
discharge any existing mortgage loans secured by the Property, (ii) make initial deposits into the
Sub-Accounts as required hereunder, and (iii) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the closing of the Loan, and (b) as otherwise set forth on the closing statement executed by Lender
and Borrower in connection with the closing of the Loan.
2.2 Interest; Loan Payments; Late Payment Charge.
2.2.1 Payment of Principal and Interest.
(i) Except as set forth in Section 2.2.1(ii), interest shall accrue on the Principal
Amount as set forth in the Notes.
(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and from and after
the Maturity Date if the entire Principal Amount is not repaid on the Maturity Date, interest on
the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest
and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall accrue at the Default Rate calculated from the
date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest
at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the actual
receipt and collection of the Indebtedness (or that portion thereof that is then due). This
paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of
the Indebtedness, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the
occurrence of any Event of Default, and Lender retains its rights under the Notes to accelerate and
to continue to demand payment of the Indebtedness upon the happening of any Event of Default in
accordance with the terms hereof.
2.2.2 Method and Place of Payment.
(a) On each Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender interest accruing pursuant to the Notes
for the entire Interest Period preceding such Payment Date.
(b) All amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Loan
Documents, other than the Principal Amount, together with any interest at the Default Rate or other
charges as provided therein, shall be due and payable hereunder as provided in the Loan Documents.
In the event any such advance or charge is not so repaid by Borrower, Lender may, at its option,
first apply any payments received under the Notes to repay such advances, together with any
interest thereon, or other charges as provided in the Loan Documents, and the balance, if any,
shall be applied in payment of any installment of interest or principal then due and payable.
(c) The Maturity Date Payment shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
2.2.3 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan
Documents (other than the outstanding Principal Amount due and payable on the
27
Maturity Date) is not
paid by Borrower on or prior to the date which is five (5) days after the date on which it is due
(or if such fifth (5th) day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately
preceding such fifth (5th) day), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount
equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate (the
“Late Payment Charge”) in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and
processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such
delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by this Agreement, the Security Instrument
and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.2.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement and the Notes are subject to the express condition
that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of
the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of
being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance
due under the Notes at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, then the Interest Rate or the
Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal
Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been
payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due under the Notes. All
sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due
under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated,
allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the
rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of
interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is
outstanding.
2.3 Prepayments.
2.3.1 Prepayments. No prepayments of the Indebtedness shall be permitted except as set
forth in Section 4 of the Notes and as set forth herein.
2.3.2 Prepayments After Event of Default; Application of Amounts Paid. If after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower tenders payment of all or
any part of the Indebtedness, or if all or any portion of the Indebtedness is recovered by Lender
after such Event of Default (including through application of any reserves held by Lender pursuant
to the terms hereof), (a) on any date other than a Payment Date, then such payment shall include
interest that would have accrued on such amounts through the end of the Interest Period during
which such payment is made, and such amounts shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the
Loan in an interest bearing account at an Eligible Institution, with interest accruing on such
amounts to the benefit of Borrower, and applied to the Loan on the next occurring Payment Date, (b)
such payment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower, and (c) Borrower shall pay, in
addition to the Indebtedness, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium and all other fees
and sums payable hereunder or under the Loan Documents, including without limitation, interest that
has accrued at the Default Rate and any Late Payment Charges.
2.3.3 Release of Property upon Repayment or Defeasance of Loan in Full. Lender shall, upon
the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon (a) payment in full of the
28
Principal

accordance with the terms and provisions of the Notes and this Agreement or (b) a Defeasance Event

Collateral and (ii) the Security Instrument and Assignment of Leases on the Property (or, at
Borrower’s request, assign it (together with the Notes), in whole or in part, to a new lender

less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of such release or assignment, a release of lien
or assignment of lien, as applicable, for such property for execution by Lender. Such release or
assignment, as applicable, shall be in a form appropriate in each jurisdiction in which the

shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in
connection with such release or assignment, as applicable.
2.3.4 Release of Individual Properties. Subject to satisfaction of each of the conditions
set forth below (collectively, the “General Release Conditions”) with respect to any

(b) Borrower shall have paid to Lender (i) the Release Price, (ii) the applicable Yield
Maintenance Premium, if any, and (iii) all other sums due under the Notes in connection with such
prepayment. If the Release Date is not a Payment Date, then the Release Price shall include
interest that would have accrued on the Allocated Loan Amount for the Release Property through the
end of the Interest Period during which such payment is made, and the Release Price, and the
applicable Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, shall be held by Lender as collateral security for
the Loan in an interest bearing account at an Eligible Institution, with interest accruing on such
amounts to the benefit of Borrower, and applied to the Loan on the next occurring Payment Date.
29
(c) Borrower shall submit to Lender not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Release

(a) Generally. Borrower shall have the right, at any time following the expiration of
the Defeasance Lockout Period but prior to the Yield Maintenance Premium Release Date to

30
Property or Individual Properties, by and upon satisfaction of the following conditions (such event
being a “Defeasance Event”):
(i) Borrower shall provide not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender

“Security Agreement”);
(viii) Borrower shall (A) deliver an Opinion of Counsel for Borrower that is standard in
commercial lending transactions and subject only to customary qualifications, assumptions and

31
(ix) With respect to any Defeasance Event occurring after a Securitization, Borrower shall
obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation to the effect that the Defeasance Collateral to be purchased
qualifies and is sufficient so that the substitution of such Defeasance Collateral for the Property
or the Individual Property or Individual Properties being released, as applicable, will not result
in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the respective ratings in effect immediately prior
to such Defeasance Event for the Securities issued in connection with the Securitization which are
then outstanding. If required by the applicable Rating Agencies, Borrower shall also deliver or
cause to be delivered a Non-Consolidation Opinion with respect to any Successor Borrower in form

Defeasance Event, including (A) any out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with a release (in

(b) Scheduled Defeasance Payments. In connection with any Defeasance Event, Borrower

successive scheduled Payment Dates after the Defeasance Date but prior to the Yield Maintenance
Premium Release Date, in amounts equal to the scheduled payments of principal, interest, and any
other amounts due on each such Payment Date under the Loan Documents (or, in the case, of a partial
defeasance, the portions of such scheduled payments due
32
on each such Payment Date under this
Agreement and the Defeased Note) but assuming, for purposes hereof, that the Maturity Date Payment
shall be paid on the Yield Maintenance Premium Release Date (the aforedescribed payments, the
“Scheduled Defeasance Payments”). Borrower (and/or Maryland Loan Guarantor, as applicable,
in the case of the Maryland Property) pursuant to the Security Agreement or other appropriate
document, shall authorize and direct that the payments received from the Defeasance Collateral may
be made directly to the Holding Account (unless otherwise directed by Lender) and applied to
satisfy the obligations of Borrower (and/or Maryland Loan Guarantor, as applicable in the case of
the Maryland Property) or Successor Borrower, if applicable, under this Agreement and the Notes (or
each Defeased Note, in the case of the defeasance of the Loan in part). Any portion of the
Defeasance Deposit in excess of the amount necessary to purchase the Defeasance Collateral required
by this Section 2.3.5 and to satisfy Borrower’s other obligations hereunder shall be
remitted to Borrower. Following the payment in full of the Notes (and each Defeased Note in the
case of a defeasance of the Loan in part) and all other Obligations on the Maturity Date, any
amounts remaining in the Defeasance Deposit, if any, shall be remitted to Borrower.
(c) Defeasance Collateral. The Defeasance Collateral shall be duly endorsed by the
holder thereof as directed by Lender or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and
substance that would be reasonably satisfactory to a prudent lender and that does not require
Borrower or Maryland Loan Guarantor, as applicable, to incur any additional obligations or
liabilities, (including, without limitation, such instruments as may be reasonably required by the
depository institution holding such securities or by the issuer thereof, as the case may be, to
effectuate book-entry transfers and pledges through the book-entry facilities of such institution)
in order to perfect, upon the delivery of the Defeasance Collateral, a first priority security
interest therein in favor of the Lender in conformity with all applicable state and federal laws
governing the granting of such security interests.
(d) Successor Borrower. If the Defeasance Event occurs after a Securitization,
Borrower (and/or Maryland Loan Guarantor, as applicable, in the case of the Maryland Property)
may, at its option, or if so required by the applicable Rating Agencies, shall, establish or
designate a successor entity (the “Successor Borrower”) which shall be a single purpose
bankruptcy remote entity approved by the Rating Agencies with one (1) Independent Director, and
Borrower (and/or Maryland Loan Guarantor, as applicable, in the case of the Maryland Property)
shall transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Notes (or each
Defeased Note in the case of a defeasance of the Loan in part), together with the pledged
Defeasance Collateral to such Successor Borrower. Such Successor Borrower shall assume the
obligations under the Notes (or each Defeased Note in the case of a defeasance of the Loan in part)
and the Security Agreement and Borrower (and/or Maryland Loan Guarantor, as applicable, in the case
of the Maryland Property) shall be relieved of its obligations under such documents. Borrower
shall pay $1,000 to any such Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming the obligations under
the Notes and the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
no other assumption fee shall be payable upon a transfer of the Note in accordance with this
Section 2.3.5(d), but Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lenders,
including Lenders’ reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and, if the Defeasance Event occurs
after a Securitization, any fees and expenses of any Rating Agencies, incurred in connection
therewith. Any Successor Borrower may be an Affiliate of Borrower or a defeasance consultant or
similar service provider.
33
(e) Release of Defeased Property. If Borrower has elected to defease the Loan or any
allocated portion thereof, and the requirements set forth in this Section 2.3.5 have been
satisfied, the Property or the applicable Individual Property or Individual Properties shall be
released from the Lien of the Security Instrument and the Defeasance Collateral pledged pursuant to
the Security Agreement shall be the substitute sole source of collateral securing such amounts due
under the Notes (or a substitute source of collateral securing such amounts under each Defeased
Note in the case of a defeasance of the Loan in part). Further, the pledge of the related Account
Collateral and other property pledged under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and all
other obligations of Borrower (and Maryland Loan Guarantor in the case of the Maryland Property)
created hereunder in respect of such Property, Individual Property or Individual Properties, as
applicable, shall be discharged, other than those expressly stated to survive.
2.3.6 Substitution of Properties.

Section 2.3.6, substitute one or more warehouse or distribution facility properties (each a

Instrument and related Loan Documents (or a deed of partial reconveyance, as the case may be) and

endorsements to the Title Policy (or substantially equivalent assurance) as Lender may reasonably
require confirming continuing title insurance and that (A) the Security Instrument constitutes a
first priority lien on any Related Remaining Property after the release of the Outparcel, (B) such
Related Remaining Property constitutes a separate tax lot or tax lots and (C) such release shall
not result in such Related Remaining Property ceasing to comply in all material respects with all
applicable Legal Requirements, zoning, land use and subdivision laws; (7) Borrower (and in the case
of Outparcels located in Maryland, Maryland Loan Guarantor) shall have executed and delivered such
documents (including amendments to the Loan Documents) as Lender may reasonably require to reflect
such release; (8) Borrower shall pay to Lender all costs and expenses incurred by Lender

reasonably determine the amount of the Account Collateral (including, but not limited to, Proceeds)
attributable to the Release Property (the “Excess Account Collateral”), and shall promptly
instruct Cash Management Bank to return to Borrower the Excess Account Collateral, if any, except
to the extent that Lender reasonably determines that a shortfall exists in such Sub-Account with
respect to the Property other than the Release Property.
39
2.3.9 Reserve Requirements. Upon the occurrence of a Property Release, provided no
Low LCR Cash Flow Sweep Period exists and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,

Bank with notice of the revised Monthly Tax Reserve Amount and Monthly Insurance Reserve Amount.
2.4 Regulatory Change; Taxes.
2.4.1 Increased Costs. If as a result of any Regulatory Change or compliance of Lender
therewith, the basis of taxation of payments to Lender or any company Controlling Lender of the
principal of or interest on the Loan is changed or Lender or the company Controlling Lender shall
be subject to (i) any tax, duty, charge or withholding of any kind with respect to this Agreement
(excluding federal taxation of the overall net income of Lender or the company Controlling Lender);

or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities, of Lender or any company Controlling
Lender is imposed, modified or deemed applicable; or (iii) any other condition affecting loans to
borrowers subject to fixed interest rates is imposed on Lender or any company Controlling Lender
and Lender determines that, by reason thereof, the cost to Lender or any company Controlling Lender
of making, maintaining or extending the Loan to Borrower is increased, or any amount receivable by
Lender or any company Controlling Lender hereunder in respect of any portion of the Loan to
Borrower is reduced, in each case by an amount deemed by Lender in good faith to be material (such
increases in cost and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Increased
Costs”), then Lender shall provide notice thereof to Borrower and Borrower agrees that it will
pay to Lender upon Lender’s written request such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
Lender or any company Controlling Lender for such Increased Costs to the extent Lender reasonably
determines that such Increased Costs are allocable to the Loan. If Lender requests compensation

Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for
determining the amount thereof.
2.4.2 Special Taxes. Borrower shall make all payments hereunder free and clear of and
without deduction for Special Taxes. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Special
Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to Lender,
(i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
2.4.2) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions
been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.4.2, Borrower shall not be liable for
any amounts as a result of withholding for Special Taxes or additional costs incurred as a result
of the assignment of all or any portion of the Loan by Lender to any Person that is subject to
Special Taxes and which is organized under or has its principal place of business outside of the
United States of America or any political subdivision thereof.
40

Other Taxes (including any Special Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on

penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification
shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.
2.4.5 Change of Office. To the extent that changing the jurisdiction of Lender’s
applicable office would have the effect of minimizing Special Taxes, Other Taxes or Increased
Costs, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to make such a change.

hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 2.4 shall

Holding Account, the “Collateral Accounts”), which (i) may be ledger or book entry
sub-accounts and need not be actual sub-accounts, (ii) shall each be linked to the Holding Account,
(iii) shall each be a “Securities Account” pursuant to Article 8 of the UCC and (iv) shall

Guarantor) hereby collaterally assigns, grants a security interest in and pledges to Lender, to the
extent not prohibited by applicable law, a first priority continuing security interest in and to
the following property of Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan
Guarantor), whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and regardless of where
located (all of the same, collectively, the “Account Collateral”):
(a) the Collateral Accounts and all cash, checks, drafts, securities entitlements,
certificates, instruments and other property, including, without limitation, all deposits and/or
wire transfers from time to time deposited or held in, credited to or made to Collateral Accounts;
(b) any and all amounts invested in Permitted Investments;

discretion.

with the foregoing, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, Borrower and Maryland Loan Guarantor each
agrees to (i) create one or more (as applicable) new single purpose entities which will become the

evidence the Mezzanine Loan, including, without limitation, a
promissory note and a mezzanine loan agreement and such other documents reasonably required by
Lender which are in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Borrower and substantially

Mezzanine Borrower to pledge the equity interests in Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland
Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor); and (iii) execute and deliver such documents and other

prior to the issuance of such mezzanine notes; (D) the weighted average Interest Rate (as defined
in the Notes) for the term of the mezzanine notes shall not exceed the Interest Rate (as defined in

Default); and (E) the economics of the Loan, taken as a whole, shall not change in a manner which
is adverse to Borrower.

Construction Endorsements and containing an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement”

endorsement and shall cover, without limitation, all tenant improvements and betterments which
Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) is required to insure

Master Lease Rent Shortfalls resulting from a casualty or a Taking. During the continuance of an
Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to draw all undrawn sums on any such Letter of Credit
and deposit same into the LCR Deterioration Reserve Account for application as set forth in the
preceding sentence, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Business
Interruption Reserve Amount shall not be applied against the Obligations during the continuance of
an Event of Default. In the event of a Master Lease Rent Shortfall resulting from a casualty or
Taking, Lender shall have the right to draw an amount equal to such Master Lease Rent Shortfall on
any such Letter of Credit and deposit same into the LCR Deterioration Reserve Account. Upon
written request of Borrower, Lender agrees to reasonably modify the requirements herein in the
event business interruption insurance is no longer commercially available.
6.1.5 Builder’s All-Risk Insurance. During any period of repair or restoration, builder’s
“All-Risk” insurance in an amount equal to not less than the full insurable value of the Property
against such risks (including so called “All Risk” perils coverage and collapse of the Improvements
to agreed limits as Lender may request, in form and substance acceptable to Lender).
6.1.6 Boiler and Machinery Insurance. Comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance
(without exclusion for explosion) covering all mechanical and electrical equipment against physical
damage, rent loss and improvements loss and covering, without limitation, all tenant improvements
and betterments that Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) or
Master Lessee is required to
insure pursuant to the Master Lease or any Lease on a replacement cost basis. The minimum amount
of limits to be provided shall be $10,000,000 per accident.
6.1.7 Flood Insurance and Earthquake Insurance.
(a) If any portion of the Improvements is located within an area designated as “flood Zone A
or V” or a “special flood hazard area” (as defined under the regulations adopted under the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973), flood insurance shall
be provided, in an amount not less than the maximum limit of coverage available under the Federal
Flood Insurance plan with respect to the Property. Lender reserves the right to require flood
insurance in excess of that available under the Federal Flood Insurance plan in commercially
reasonable amounts. Lender agrees to (a) reasonably modify the requirements herein if such
insurance is not commercially available and (b) accept any reduced coverage requirements acceptable
to the Rating Agencies as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation.
76
(b) If earthquake insurance limits and aggregates are shared with locations other than the
Property insured on the same policy as any of the Property or, if the amount of Earthquake
insurance provided is less than one hundred percent (100%) of the insurable values of the Property
and business interruption coverage combined, then the amount of earthquake coverage shall be based
on a “Probable Maximum Loss” Study for the applicable Individual Property, which must be conducted
by a firm satisfactory to Lender, which for purposes of this Agreement, Lender agrees that Aon Risk
Services, Borrower’s property insurance broker is satisfactory. The results of the “Probable
Maximum Loss” Study, on an Individual Property basis and for all locations insured in the same
earthquake insurance policies, shall be used to determine the amount of earthquake coverage to be
provided by Borrower. The amount of insurance shall be determined by adding the total expected
damage to all Improvements subject to a single earthquake event in a given region together along
with the expected loss of Rents and other income from the applicable Individual Property. The
total amount of earthquake insurance in limits shall be the sum of expected property damage,
reconstruction cost and annual business income expected loss. Should the available aggregate
limits of earthquake insurance be eroded by losses so that the remaining limits available to pay
losses are less than forty percent (40%) of the required limits, Borrower shall purchase additional
coverage to restore the available limit and aggregate limit to not less than eighty percent (80%)
of the required amount of insurance. If the earthquake insurance and associated aggregate limits
are shared among other locations the risks associated with other locations also insured in the same
policy shall be taken into consideration in determining the amount of insurance to be provided
herein. Lender agrees to (a) reasonably modify the requirements herein if such insurance is not
commercially available and (b) accept any reduced coverage requirements acceptable to the Rating
Agencies as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation.
6.1.8 Terrorism Insurance. To the extent commercially available, Borrower (or in the case
of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) shall be required to carry insurance with
respect to the Improvements and Building Equipment covering acts of sabotage or acts by terrorist
groups or individuals
(“Terrorism Insurance”) throughout the Loan term consistent with the amounts of insurance
required by Sections 6.1.1 and 6.1.5 in an amount not less than $25,000,000, and
having a deductible commensurate with the deductibles under the insurance required by Sections
6.1.1 and 6.1.5, or following a Securitization, such lesser coverage amount or such
greater deductible, on a blanket basis, that is acceptable to the Rating Agencies as evidenced by a
Rating Agency Confirmation. Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan
Guarantor) agrees that if any property insurance policy covering any Individual Property provides
for any exclusions of coverage for acts of terrorism, then a separate Terrorism Insurance policy in
the coverage amount required under this section and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Lender will be obtained by the Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan
Guarantor) for such Property to the extent such Terrorism Insurance is commercially available.
Lender agrees that Terrorism Insurance coverage may be provided under a Blanket Policy that is
reasonably acceptable to Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
6.1.8, Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) shall not be
obligated to maintain Terrorism Insurance in an amount more than that which can be purchased for a
sum equal to $150,000 or such lesser amount of coverage acceptable to the Rating Agencies as
evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation.
77
6.1.9 Storage Tank System Third Party Liability and Cleanup Insurance. Storage Tank
System Third Party Liability and Cleanup Insurance providing coverage amounts not less than
$2,000,000 per occurrence and $4,000,000 in the annual aggregate.
6.1.10 Other Insurance. At Lender’s reasonable request, such other insurance (including,
without limitation, to the extent requested by Lender, windstorm insurance) with respect to the
Property against loss or damage of the kinds from time to time customarily insured against and in
such amounts as are generally required by institutional lenders on loans of similar amounts and
secured by properties comparable to, and in the general vicinity of, the Property.
6.1.11 Ratings of Insurers. Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland
Loan Guarantor) shall maintain the insurance coverage described in Section 6.1.1 through
Section 6.1.10 above, in all cases, with one or more domestic primary insurers reasonably
acceptable to Lender, having both (x) claims-paying-ability and financial strength ratings by S&P
of not less than “A” and its equivalent by the other Rating Agencies and (y) an Xxxxxx X. Best
Company, Inc. rating of “A-” or better and a financial size category of not less than “X.” All
insurers providing insurance required by this Agreement shall be authorized to issue insurance in
the State.
6.1.12 Form of Insurance Policies; Endorsements. All insurance policies shall be in such
form and with such endorsements as are specified herein (and Lender shall have the right to
reasonably approve deductibles and loss payees on the Property secured under this Agreement). A
certificate of insurance with respect to all of the above-mentioned insurance policies has been
delivered to Lender and copies of all such policies shall be delivered to Lender when the same are
available upon request by Lender and shall be
held by Lender. Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) shall
name Lender as an additional insured, shall provide that all Proceeds (except with respect to
Proceeds of general liability, automobile liability, excess liability and workers’ compensation
insurance) be payable to Lender as and to the extent set forth in Section 6.2, and shall contain:
(i) a standard “non-contributory mortgagee” endorsement or its equivalent relating, inter alia, to
recovery by Lender notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Borrower (or in
the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor); (ii) a waiver of subrogation
endorsement in favor of Lender; (iii) an endorsement providing for a deductible per loss of an
amount not more than that which is customarily maintained by prudent owners of properties with a
standard of operation and maintenance comparable to and in the general vicinity of the Property,
but in no event in excess of an amount reasonably acceptable to Lender (and Lender hereby agrees
and acknowledges that in no event shall Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland
Loan Guarantor) be required to maintain a deductible in an amount less than $1,000,000 with respect
to any insurance policy obtained pursuant to Section 6.1.1); and (iv) a provision that such
policies shall not be canceled, terminated or expire without at least thirty (30) days’ prior
written notice to Lender, in each instance.
6.1.13 Evidence of Insurance. Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland
Loan Guarantor) shall deliver to Lender annually, prior to the expiration of the insurance policies
required hereunder, evidence that the insurance policies required pursuant to this Section 6.1 are
maintained with insurers who comply with the terms of Section 6.1.10, setting forth a schedule
describing all premiums required to be paid to maintain the policies of
78
insurance required under
this Section 6.1, and stating that Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan
Guarantor) has or will pay such premiums when due. Evidence of insurance with respect to all
replacement policies shall be delivered to Lender prior to the expiration date of any of the
insurance policies required to be maintained hereunder. If Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland
Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) fails to maintain and deliver to Lender the evidence of
insurance required by this Agreement, Lender may procure such insurance, and all costs thereof (and
interest thereon at the Default Rate) shall be added to the Indebtedness. Lender shall not, by the
fact of approving, disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining or failing to obtain any
insurance, incur any liability for or with respect to the amount of insurance carried, the form or
legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of insurance companies, or payment or defense of
lawsuits, and Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) hereby
expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all liability, if any, with respect to such
matters.
6.1.14 Separate Insurance. Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland
Loan Guarantor) shall not take out separate insurance contributing in the event of loss with such
required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 6.1 unless such insurance complies with
this Section 6.1.
6.1.15 Blanket Policies. The insurance coverage required under this Section 6.1 may be effected under a blanket
policy or policies covering the Property and other properties and assets not constituting a part of
the Property (a “Blanket Policy”), provided that any blanket insurance policy shall
cover each Individual Property in an amount of coverage that is not less than the amounts required
pursuant to this Section 6.1 and which shall in any case comply in all other respects with
the requirements of this Section 6.1.
6.2 Condemnation and Insurance Proceeds.
6.2.1 Notification. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing upon obtaining
knowledge of (i) the institution of any proceedings relating to any Taking (whether material or
immaterial) of, or (ii) the occurrence of any casualty, damage or injury to, the Property or any
portion thereof, the restoration of which is estimated by Borrower in good faith to cost more than
the Casualty Amount as to any Individual Property. In addition, each such notice shall set forth
such good faith estimate of the cost of repairing or restoring such casualty, damage, injury or
Taking in reasonable detail if the same is then available and, if not, as soon thereafter as it can
reasonably be provided. Borrower shall promptly provide Lender with copies of any material
documentation available to Borrower and requested by Lender relating to any Taking.
6.2.2 Proceeds. In the event of any Taking of or any casualty or other damage or injury to
the Property, Borrower’s (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) right,
title and interest in and to all compensation, awards, proceeds, damages, claims, insurance
recoveries, causes and rights of action (whether accrued prior to or after the date hereof) and
payments which Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) may
receive or become entitled with respect to the Property or any part thereof other than payments
received in connection with any liability or business interruption insurance and other than any of
the foregoing with respect to the Excluded Personal Property (collectively,
79
“Proceeds”) in
connection with any such Taking of, or casualty or other damage or injury to, the Property or any
part thereof are hereby assigned by Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland
Loan Guarantor) to Lender and, except as otherwise herein provided, shall be paid to the Lender.
Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) shall, in good faith
and in a commercially reasonable manner, file and prosecute the adjustment, compromise or
settlement of any claim for Proceeds and, subject to Borrower’s (or in the case of the Maryland
Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor’s) right to receive the direct payment of any Proceeds as herein
provided, will cause the same to be paid directly to Lender to be held and applied in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement. Except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) may
settle any insurance claim with respect to Proceeds which does not exceed the Casualty Amount as to
any Individual Property. Whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Lender shall have the right to approve, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, any
settlement which might result in any Proceeds in
excess of the Casualty Amount as to any Individual Property and Borrower (or in the case of the
Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender all
instruments reasonably requested by Lender to permit such approval. Borrower shall pay all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses reasonably incurred by Lender (including all
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, the reasonable fees of insurance experts and adjusters and
reasonable costs incurred in any litigation or arbitration), and interest thereon at the Default
Rate to the extent not paid within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of a request for
reimbursement by Lender, in connection with the settlement of any claim for Proceeds and seeking
and obtaining of any payment on account thereof in accordance with the foregoing provisions. If
any Proceeds are received by Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan
Guarantor) and may be retained by Borrower or Maryland Loan Guarantor pursuant to this Section
6.2, such Proceeds shall, until the completion of the related Work, be held in trust for Lender
and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower and Maryland Loan Guarantor to be used to pay
for the cost of the Work in accordance with the terms hereof, and in the event such Proceeds exceed
the Casualty Amount as to any Individual Property, such Proceeds shall be forthwith paid directly
to and held by Lender in the Proceeds Reserve Account in trust for Borrower (or in the case of the
Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor), in each case to be applied or disbursed in accordance
with this Section 6.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement, however, and excluding situations requiring prepayment of the Notes, to the extent any
Proceeds (either singly or when aggregated with all other then unapplied Proceeds with respect to
the Property) do not exceed the Casualty Amount as to any Individual Property, such Proceeds are to
be paid directly to Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) to
be applied to restoration of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof (except that Proceeds
paid in respect of the insurance described in Section 6.1.4 shall be deposited directly to
the Holding Account as revenue of the Property).
6.2.3 Lender to Take Proceeds. If (i) the Proceeds with respect to any
particular Individual Property shall equal or exceed the Allocated Loan Amount for such Individual
Property at a time when the aggregate Allocated Loan Amounts of Individual Properties then
currently impacted by a casualty, damage, destruction or Taking is greater than 10% of the
Principal Amount, (ii) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) a Total
Loss with respect to any Individual Property shall have occurred, (iv) the Work is not capable of
80
being completed before the earlier to occur of the date which is six (6) months prior to the
earlier of the Maturity Date and the date on which the business interruption insurance carried with
respect to such Individual Property on which the business interruption insurance carried with
respect to such Individual Property shall expire (the “Cut-Off Date”), unless on or prior
to the Cut-Off Date (A) Borrower shall deliver to the Lender and there shall remain in effect a
binding written offer, subject only to customary conditions, of an Approved Bank or such other
financial institution or investment bank duly authorized to originate loans secured by real
property located in the State and reasonably satisfactory to Lender for a loan from such Approved
Bank or such other financial institution or investment bank to the Borrower (or in the case of the
Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) in a principal amount of not less than the then
outstanding Allocated Loan Amount for such Individual Property and which shall, in the Lender’s
reasonable judgment, enable the Borrower (or in the
case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) to refinance the Allocated Loan Amount
with respect to such Individual Property at or prior to the Maturity Date and (B) if a
Securitization shall have occurred, Borrower shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation, (v) the
Individual Property is not capable of being restored substantially to its condition prior to such
Taking or casualty and such incapacity shall have a Material Adverse Effect, (vi) the Master Lessee
or Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) shall exercise any
termination right under the Master Lease or (vii) Lender determines that, upon the completion of
the restoration, the gross cash flow and the net cash flow of the Property will not be restored to
a level sufficient to cover all carrying costs and operating expenses of the Property, including,
without limitation, debt service on the Notes at a coverage ratio (after deducting all required
reserves, as required by Lender, from net operating income) of at least 1.0 to 1.0, which coverage
ratio shall be determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion; then in any such case, all
Proceeds shall be paid over to Lender (if not paid directly to Lender) for application as set forth
in clause (b) below. Any Proceeds remaining after reimbursement of Lender’s or its agent’s costs
and expenses incurred in connection with recovery of any such Proceeds (including, without
limitation, administrative costs and inspection fees) shall, except to the extent required under
the provisions hereof to be applied for restoration, be paid to the Holding Account to be applied
by Lender to prepay the Notes to the extent of the Release Price for such Individual Property in
accordance with the provisions hereof (without the imposition of any Yield Maintenance Premium),
with the balance, if any, to be paid to the Borrower’s Account. If the Proceeds applied by Lender
pursuant to the preceding sentence equal or exceed the Release Price for such Individual Property,
Borrower shall be entitled to obtain a Property Release subject to and in accordance with
Section 2.3.4. If the Proceeds so applied by Lender pursuant to clauses (a)(iii), (v) or
(vi) above are not sufficient to pay the Release Price with respect to an Individual Property in
full, Borrower shall be entitled to prepay the remainder of the Release Price and obtain a Property
Release with respect to the Individual Property for which the Proceeds were received in accordance
with Section 2.3.4 without the imposition of any Yield Maintenance Premium and otherwise in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note.
6.2.4 Borrower to Restore.
(a) Subject to Borrower’s rights pursuant to Section 2.3.4 to cause the Property to be
released from the Lien of the Security Instrument, and provided that the Proceeds, if any, shall be
made available to Borrower by Lender, Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland
Loan Guarantor) shall (whether or not such Proceeds shall be sufficient) promptly
81
after the
occurrence of any damage or destruction to all or any portion of the Property or a Taking of a
portion of the Property, commence and diligently prosecute, or cause to be commenced and diligently
prosecuted, to completion, subject to Excusable Delays, the repair, restoration and rebuilding of
the Property (in the case of a partial Taking, to the extent it is capable of being restored) so
damaged, destroyed or remaining after such Taking in full compliance with all material Legal
Requirements and free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Encumbrances (such repair,
restoration and rebuilding are collectively referred to herein as the “Work”). The plans
and specifications shall require that the Work be done in a
workmanlike manner at least equivalent to the quality and character prior to the damage or
destruction (provided, however, that in the case of a partial Taking, the Property
restoration shall be done to the extent reasonably practicable after taking into account the
consequences of such partial Taking), so that upon completion thereof, the Property shall be at
least equal in value and general utility to the Property prior to the damage or destruction; it
being understood, however, that Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan
Guarantor) shall not be obligated to restore the Property to the precise condition of the Property
prior to any partial Taking of, or casualty or other damage or injury to, the Property, if the Work
actually performed, if any, or failed to be performed, shall have no Material Adverse Effect on the
value of the Property from the value that the Property would have had if the same had been restored
to its condition immediately prior to such Taking or casualty.
(b) If Proceeds are not required to be applied toward payment of the Indebtedness pursuant to
the terms hereof, then Lender shall make the Proceeds which it is holding pursuant to the terms
hereof (after payment of any expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the collection thereof
plus interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date advanced through the date of reimbursement)
available to Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) for
payment or reimbursement of Borrower’s (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan
Guarantor’s) or the applicable Tenant’s expenses incurred with respect to the Work, upon the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) below and in Section
6.2.5:
(i) at the time of loss or damage or at any time thereafter while Borrower (or in the case of
the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) is holding any portion of the Proceeds, there shall
be no Event of Default;
(ii) if, at any time, the estimated cost of the Work (as estimated by the Independent
Architect referred to in clause (iii) below) shall exceed the Proceeds (a “Deficiency”) and
for so long as such Deficiency shall exist, Lender shall not be required to make any Proceeds
disbursement to Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) unless
Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) (within a reasonable
period of time after receipt of such estimate), at its election, either deposits with or delivers
to Lender (A) Cash and Cash Equivalents or a Letter or Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the
estimated cost of the Work less the Proceeds available, or (B) such other evidence of Borrower’s
(or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor’s) ability to meet such excess
costs and which is satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
82
(iii) Each of Lender and the Independent Architect shall have reasonably approved the plans
and specifications for the Work and any change orders in connection with such plans and
specifications; and
(iv) Lender shall, within a reasonable period of time prior to request for initial
disbursement, be furnished with an estimate of the cost of the Work accompanied by an Independent
Architect’s certification as to such costs and appropriate plans and specifications for the Work.
Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) shall restore all
Improvements such that when they are fully restored and/or repaired, such
Improvements and their contemplated use fully comply with all applicable Legal Requirements
including zoning, environmental and building laws, codes, ordinances and regulations.
6.2.5 Disbursement of Proceeds.
(a) Disbursements of the Proceeds in Cash or Cash Equivalents to Borrower (or in the case of
the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) hereunder shall be made from time to time (but not
more frequently than once in any month) by Lender but only for so long as no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, as the Work progresses upon receipt by Lender of (i) an Officer’s
Certificate dated not more than ten (10) Business Days prior to the application for such payment,
requesting such payment or reimbursement and describing the Work performed that is the subject of
such request, the parties that performed such Work and the actual cost thereof, and also certifying
that such Work and materials are or, upon disbursement of the payment requested to the parties
entitled thereto, will be free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, (ii) evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed in
connection with such Work have been paid for in full and (B) there exists no notices of pendency,
stop orders, mechanic’s liens or notices of intention to file same (unless the same is required by
the applicable State law as a condition to the payment of a contractor) or any liens or
encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the Work which have not been
either fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender or discharged of record or in the alternative,
fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the Title Company and (iii) an Independent
Architect’s certificate certifying performance of the Work together with an estimate of the cost to
complete the Work. No payment made prior to the final completion of the Work, as certified by the
Architect, except for payment made to contractors or subcontractors whose Work shall have been
fully completed and from which final lien waivers have been received, shall exceed ninety percent
(90%) of the value of the Work performed and materials furnished and incorporated into the
Improvements from time to time, and at all times the undisbursed balance of said Proceeds together
with all amounts deposited, bonded, guaranteed or otherwise provided for pursuant to Section
6.2.4(b) above, shall be at least sufficient to pay for the estimated cost of completion of the
Work; final payment of all Proceeds remaining with Lender shall be made upon receipt by Lender of a
certification by an Independent Architect, as to the completion of the Work substantially in
accordance with the submitted plans and specifications, final lien releases, and the filing of a
notice of completion and the expiration of the period provided under the law of the applicable
State for the filing of mechanics’ and materialmens’ liens which are entitled to priority as to
other creditors, encumbrances and purchasers, as certified pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate,
and delivery of a certificate of occupancy with respect to the Work, or, if not applicable, an
Officer’s Certificate to the effect that a certificate of occupancy is not required.
83
(b) If, after the Work is completed in accordance with the provisions hereof and Lender
receives evidence that all costs of completion have been paid, there are excess Proceeds, such
excess Proceeds shall be paid over to Lender for application in accordance with Section
6.2.3(b).
VII. IMPOSITIONS, OTHER CHARGES, LIENS AND OTHER ITEMS
7.1 Borrower or Maryland Loan Guarantor to Pay Impositions and Other Charges. Borrower (or
in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) shall pay all Impositions now or
hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof prior to the
imposition of any interest, charges or expenses for the non-payment thereof and shall pay all Other
Charges on or before the date they are due. Borrower shall deliver to Lender annually, no later
than fifteen (15) Business Days after the first day of each fiscal year of Borrower, and shall
update as new information is received, a schedule describing all Impositions, payable or estimated
to be payable during such fiscal year attributable to or affecting the Property or Borrower.
Subject to Borrower’s right of contest set forth in Section 7.3, as set forth in the next
two (2) sentences and provided that there are sufficient funds available in the Tax Reserve
Account, Lender, on behalf of Borrower, shall pay all Impositions and Other Charges which are
attributable to or affect the Property or Borrower, prior to the date such Impositions or Other
Charges shall become delinquent or late charges may be imposed thereon, directly to the applicable
taxing authority with respect thereto. Lender shall, or Lender shall direct the Cash Management
Bank to, pay to the taxing authority such amounts to the extent funds in the Tax Reserve Account
are sufficient to pay such Impositions. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Security
Instrument shall be construed to require Borrower or Maryland Loan Guarantor to pay any tax,
assessment, levy or charge imposed on Lender in the nature of a franchise, capital levy, estate,
inheritance, succession, income or net revenue tax.
7.2 No Liens. Subject to its right of contest set forth in Section 7.3, Borrower
(or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) shall at all times keep, or
cause to be kept, the Property free from all Liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances) and shall
pay when due and payable (or bond over) all claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers
and others which, if unpaid, might result in or permit the creation of a Lien on the Property or
any portion thereof and shall in any event cause the prompt, full and unconditional discharge of
all Liens imposed on or against the Property or any portion thereof within forty-five (45) days
after receiving written notice of the filing (whether from Lender, the lienor or any other Person)
thereof. Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) shall do or
cause to be done, at the sole cost of Borrower, everything reasonably necessary to fully preserve
the first priority of the Lien of the Security Instrument against the Property, subject to the
Permitted Encumbrances. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default with
respect to its Obligations as set forth in this Article VII, Lender may (but shall not be
obligated to) make such payment or discharge such Lien, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender on
demand for all such advances pursuant to Section 19.12 (together with interest thereon at
the Default Rate).
7.3 Contest. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Borrower to pay, or cause
to be paid, any Imposition or to satisfy any Lien, or to comply with any Legal Requirement or
Insurance Requirement, so long as Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property,
84
Maryland Loan
Guarantor) is in good faith, and by proper legal proceedings, where appropriate, diligently
contesting the validity, amount or application thereof, provided that in each case, at the
time of the commencement of any such action or proceeding, and during the pendency of such action
or proceeding (i) no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing hereunder, (ii) Borrower shall
keep Lender informed of the status of such contest at reasonable intervals, (iii) if Borrower is
not providing security as provided in clause (vi) below, adequate reserves with respect thereto are
maintained on Borrower’s books in accordance with GAAP or in the Tax Reserve Account or Insurance
Reserve Account, as applicable, (iv) either such contest operates to suspend collection or
enforcement as the case may be, of the contested Imposition, Lien or Legal Requirement and such
contest is maintained and prosecuted continuously and with diligence or the Imposition or Lien is
bonded, (v) in the case of any Insurance Requirement, the failure of Borrower to comply therewith
shall not impair the validity of any insurance required to be maintained by Borrower under
Section 6.1 or the right to full payment of any claims thereunder, and (vi) in the case of
Impositions and Liens which are not bonded in excess of an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the
Allocated Loan Amount of the applicable Individual Property, or Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in
the aggregate, during such contest, Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland
Loan Guarantor), shall deposit with or deliver to Lender either Cash and Cash Equivalents or a
Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit in an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%)
of (A) the amount of Borrower’s (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan
Guarantor’s) obligations being contested plus (B) any additional interest, charge, or penalty
arising from such contest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the creation of any such reserves or the
furnishing of any bond or other security, Borrower and Maryland Loan Guarantor promptly shall
comply with any contested Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement or shall pay any contested
Imposition or Lien, and compliance therewith or payment thereof shall not be deferred, if, at any
time the Property or any portion thereof shall be, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, in imminent
danger of being forfeited or lost or Lender is likely to be subject to criminal damages as a result

part thereof in good condition and repair, subject to ordinary wear and tear, and, subject to
Excusable Delays and the provisions of this Agreement with respect to damage or destruction caused
by casualty events or Takings, shall not permit or commit any waste, impairment or deterioration of
any portion of the Property in any material respect. Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland
Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) further covenants to do all other acts which from the character
or use of the Property may be reasonably necessary to protect the
90
security hereof, the specific
enumerations herein not excluding the general. Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property,
Maryland Loan Guarantor) shall not remove or demolish any Improvement on the Property except as the
same may be necessary in connection with an Alteration or a restoration in connection with a Taking
or casualty, or as otherwise permitted herein, in each case in accordance with the terms and
conditions hereof.
10.2 Conditions to Alteration. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing hereunder, Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan
Guarantor) shall have the right, without Lender’s consent, to undertake any alteration,
improvement, demolition or removal of the Property or any portion thereof (any such alteration,
improvement, demolition or removal, an “Alteration”) so long as (i) Borrower provides
Lender with prior written notice of any Material Alteration, and (ii) such Alteration is undertaken
in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, is not
prohibited by any relevant Lease or Sublease and shall not, upon completion (giving credit to rent
and other charges attributable to Leases executed upon such completion), have a Material Adverse
Effect on the value, use or operation of the Property taken as a whole or otherwise. Any Material
Alteration shall be conducted under the supervision of an Independent Architect and, in connection
with any Material Alteration, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, for information purposes only and
not for approval by Lender, detailed plans and specifications and cost estimates therefor prepared
or approved by such Independent Architect, as well as an Officer’s Certificate stating that such
Alteration will involve estimated costs of no more than the Threshold Amount. Such plans and
specifications may be revised at any time and from time to time by such Independent Architect
provided that material revisions of such plans and specifications are filed with Lender,
for information purposes only. All work done in connection with any Alteration shall be performed
with due diligence in a good and workmanlike manner, all materials used in connection with any
Alteration shall not be less than the standard of quality of the materials currently used at the
Property and all materials used shall be in accordance with all applicable material Legal
Requirements and Insurance Requirements.
10.3 Costs of Alteration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article X, no Material Alteration or Alteration which, when aggregated with all other
Alterations (other than Material Alterations) then being undertaken by Borrower (or in the case of
the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) or Master Lessee (exclusive of Alterations being
directly paid for by Tenants at the Property), exceeds the Threshold Amount shall be performed by
or on behalf of Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) or
Master Lessee unless Borrower shall have delivered to Lender Cash and Cash Equivalents and/or a
Letter of Credit as security in an amount not less than (a) the estimated cost of the Material
Alteration or the Alterations minus the Threshold Amount (as set forth in the Independent
Architect’s written estimate referred to above) or (b) in the case of Alterations being performed
by or on behalf of the Master Lessee, any sums required to be deposited by Master Lessee under the
Master Lease. Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) shall
deliver to Lender any security deposited by the Master Lessee for any Alteration under the Master
Lease. In addition to payment or reimbursement from time to time of Borrower’s expenses incurred
in connection with any Material Alteration or any such Alteration, the amount of any such security
shall be reduced on any given date to the Independent Architect’s written estimate of the cost to
complete the Material Alteration or the Alterations (including any retainages), free and clear of
Liens, other than Permitted
91
Encumbrances. Costs which are subject to retainage (which in no event
shall be less than five percent (5%) in the aggregate until fifty percent (50%) of the work to be
performed under the applicable contract has been substantially completed) shall be treated as due
and payable and unpaid from the date they would be due and payable but for their characterization
as subject to retainage. In the event that any Material Alteration or Alteration shall be made in
conjunction with any restoration with respect to which Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw
Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.2, the amount of the Cash and Cash Equivalents and/or Letter
of Credit to be furnished pursuant hereto need not exceed the aggregate cost of such restoration
and such Material Alteration or Alteration (as estimated by the Independent Architect), less the
sum of the amount of any Proceeds which Borrower may be entitled to withdraw pursuant to
Section 6.2 and which are held by Lender in accordance with Section 6.2. Payment
or reimbursement of Borrower’s expenses incurred with respect to any Material Alteration or any
such Alteration shall be accomplished upon the terms and conditions specified in Section
6.2.
At any time after substantial completion of any Material Alteration or any such Alteration in
respect of which Cash and Cash Equivalents and/or a Letter of Credit is deposited pursuant hereto,
the whole balance of any Cash and Cash Equivalents so deposited by Borrower with Lender and then
remaining on deposit (together with earnings thereon), as well as all retainages, may be withdrawn
by Borrower and shall be paid by Lender to Borrower, and any other Cash and Cash Equivalents and/or
a Letter of Credit so deposited or delivered shall, to the extent it has not been called upon,
reduced or theretofore released, be released to Borrower, within ten (10) days after receipt by
Lender of an application for such withdrawal and/or release together with an Officer’s Certificate,
and signed also (as to the following clause (a)) by the Independent Architect, setting forth in
substance as follows:
(a) that to the knowledge of the certifying Person, the Material Alteration or Alteration in
respect of which such Cash and Cash Equivalents and/or a Letter of Credit was deposited has been
substantially completed in all material respects substantially in accordance with any plans and
specifications therefor previously filed with Lender under Section 10.2 and that, if
applicable, a certificate of occupancy has been issued with respect to such Material Alteration or
Alteration by the relevant Governmental Authority(ies) or, if not applicable, that a certificate of
occupancy is not required; and
(b) that to the knowledge of the certifying Person all amounts which Borrower is or may become
liable to pay in respect of such Material Alteration or Alteration through the date of the
certification have been paid in full or adequately provided for or are being contested in
accordance with Section 7.3 and that, except to the extent of such contests, lien waivers
have been obtained from the general contractor and major subcontractors performing such Material
Alterations or Alterations (or such waivers are not customary and reasonably obtainable by prudent
owners in the area where the Property is located).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of posting Cash and Cash Equivalents and/or a Letter of
Credit with Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.3, Borrower may, at its
election, deliver to lender a guaranty from Guarantor in form acceptable to Lender, pursuant to
which Guarantor unconditionally guaranties the lien free completion of the subject Alteration and
payment in full of all costs related thereto in excess of the Threshold Amount.

upon, or any use or occupancy of the Property, or any portion thereof, for the purpose of or in any
material way involving the handling, manufacture, treatment, storage, use, generation, release,
discharge, refining, dumping or disposal of any Hazardous Materials on, in or about the Property,
or transported any Hazardous Materials to, from or across the Property, except in all cases in
material compliance with Environmental Laws and only in the course of legitimate business
operations at the Property; (iii) no Hazardous Materials are presently constructed, deposited,
stored, or otherwise located on, under, in or about the Property except in material compliance with
Environmental Laws; (iv) no Hazardous Materials have migrated from the Property upon or beneath
other properties which would reasonably be expected to result in material liability for Borrower
(or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor); and (v) no Hazardous Materials
have migrated or threaten to migrate from other properties upon, about or beneath the Property
which would reasonably be expected to result in material liability for Borrower (or in the case of
the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor).
12.2 Covenants.
12.2.1 Compliance with Environmental Laws. Subject to Borrower’s right to contest under
Section 7.3, each of Borrower and Maryland Loan Guarantor covenants and agrees with Lender
that it shall comply with all Environmental Laws. If at any time during the continuance of the
Lien of the Security Instrument, a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property
requires remedial action to correct the presence of Hazardous Materials in, around, or under the
Property (an “Environmental Event”), Borrower shall deliver prompt notice of the occurrence
of such Environmental Event to Lender. Within thirty (30) days after Borrower has knowledge of the
occurrence of an Environmental Event, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Officer’s Certificate (an
“Environmental Certificate”) explaining the Environmental Event in reasonable detail and
setting forth the proposed remedial action, if any. Borrower shall promptly provide Lender with
copies of all notices which allege or identify any actual or potential violation or noncompliance
received by or prepared by or for Borrower in connection with any Environmental Law. For purposes
of this paragraph, the term “notice” shall mean any summons, citation, directive, order, claim,
pleading, letter, application, filing, report, findings, declarations or other materials pertinent
to compliance of the Property and Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan
Guarantor) with such Environmental Laws.
12.3 Environmental Reports. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Environmental Event with respect to any Individual Property or any Event of Default, Lender shall
have the right to have its consultants perform a comprehensive environmental audit of such affected
Individual Property. Such audit shall be conducted by an environmental consultant chosen by Lender
and may include a visual survey, a record review, an area reconnaissance
95
assessing the presence of
hazardous or toxic waste or substances, PCBs or storage tanks at such Individual Property, an
asbestos survey of such Individual Property, which may include random sampling of the Improvements
and air quality testing, and such further site assessments as Lender may reasonably require due to
the results obtained from the foregoing. Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property,
Maryland Loan Guarantor) grants Lender, its agents, consultants and contractors the right to enter
any Individual Property affected by an Environmental Event as reasonable or appropriate for the
circumstances for the purposes of performing such studies and the reasonable cost of such studies
shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and shall be secured by the Lien of the
Security Instrument. Lender shall not unreasonably interfere with, and Lender shall direct the
environmental consultant to use its commercially reasonable efforts not to hinder, Borrower’s,
Maryland Loan Guarantor’s, Master Lessee’s or any Tenant’s operations upon such Individual Property
when conducting such audit, sampling or inspections. By undertaking any of the measures identified
in and pursuant to this Section 12.3, Lender shall not be deemed to be exercising any
control over the operations of Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan
Guarantor) or the handling of any environmental matter or hazardous wastes or substances of
Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) for purposes of
incurring or being subject to liability therefor.
12.4 Environmental Indemnification. Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property,
Maryland Loan Guarantor) shall protect, indemnify, save, defend, and hold harmless the Indemnified
Parties from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, actions, causes of action, costs or
expenses whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and any and all claims,
suits and judgments which any Indemnified Party may suffer, as a result of or with respect to: (a)
any Environmental Claim relating to or arising from the Property; (b) the violation of any
Environmental Law in connection with the Property; (c) any release, spill, or the presence of any
Hazardous Materials affecting the Property; and (d) the presence at, in, on or under, or the
release, escape, seepage, leakage, discharge or migration at or from, the Property of any Hazardous
Materials, whether or not such condition was known or unknown to Borrower, provided that,
in each case, the liabilities and obligations of Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property,
Maryland Loan Guarantor) hereunder shall not apply to the extent that any event or condition
described in the foregoing clauses (a) through (d) (i) is fully insured against by
an Environmental Insurance Policy and the related insurer defends Lender and fully pays Lender’s
claims thereunder, (ii) is caused by or results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
any of the Indemnified Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, agents, employees or
contractors, or (iii) did not occur (but need not have been discovered) prior to (A) the
foreclosure of the Security Instrument, (B) the delivery by Borrower (or in the case of the
Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) to Lender or its designee of a deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure with respect to the Property, or (C) Lender’s or its designee’s taking possession and
control of the Property after the occurrence of an Event of Default. If any action or other
proceeding shall be brought against Lender which Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property,
Maryland Loan Guarantor) is required to defend pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 12.4, upon written notice from Borrower to Lender (given reasonably promptly
following Lender’s notice to Borrower of such action or proceeding), Borrower (or in the case of
the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, at
Borrower’s expense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender; provided,
however, Lender may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such
defense, but such
96
participation shall not be deemed to give Lender a right to control such defense,
which right Borrower expressly retains. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnified Party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any action or other proceeding which Borrower
(or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) is required to defend pursuant
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.4, at Borrower’s expense if, in the
reasonable opinion of legal counsel, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the
Indemnified Party and Borrower that would make such separate representation advisable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender and the other Indemnified Parties agree to seek recovery
against Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) for losses for
which they are indemnified under this Section 12.4 only after a claim for such losses has
been filed under any Environmental Insurance Policy then in full force and effect which covers such
losses and Lender has received any written communication from the insurer rejecting such claim. In
addition, Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify an Indemnified Party for damage or loss
resulting from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
12.5 Recourse Nature of Certain Indemnifications. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the provisions of
Article XVIII, the indemnification provided in Section 12.4 shall be fully recourse
to Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) and shall be
independent of, and shall survive, the discharge of the Indebtedness, the release of the Lien
created by the Security Instrument, and/or the conveyance of title to the Property to Lender or any
purchaser or designee in connection with a foreclosure of the Security Instrument or conveyance in
lieu of foreclosure.
XIII. RESERVED
XIV. SECURITIZATION
14.1 Sale of Notes and Securitization. At the request of Lender and, to the extent not
already required to be provided by Borrower or Maryland Loan Guarantor under this Agreement,
Borrower and Maryland Loan Guarantor shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Lender and the
Rating Agencies in connection with the sale of one or more of the Notes or a participation interest
therein as part of the securitization (such sale and/or securitization, the
“Securitization”) of rated single or multi-class securities (the “Securities”)
secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the applicable Note or Notes and this Agreement,
including using reasonable efforts to cooperate with Lender and the Rating Agencies in connection
with the actions set forth in clauses (a) through (d) below, but Borrower shall not, in connection
with a Securitization, be required to incur, suffer or accept (except to a de minimis extent)) (i)
any greater obligations or liabilities than as currently set forth in the Loan Documents or (ii)
any cost or expense.
(a) Provided Information. (i) Use reasonable efforts to provide such financial and
other information (but not projections) with respect to the Property, Borrower, Maryland Loan
Guarantor, Master Lessee and Guarantor to the extent such information is reasonably available to
Borrower and provided any such request for financial information is consistent with the financial
reporting requirements set forth in Article XI, (ii) provide business plans (but not
projections) and budgets relating to the Property, to the extent previously prepared by or on
behalf of the
97
Borrower, and (iii) cooperate with the holder of the Notes (and its representatives)
in obtaining such site inspection, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews and reports,
engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably
requested by the holder of the Notes or reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies (all
information provided pursuant to this Section 14.1 together with all other information
heretofore provided to Lender in connection with the Loan, as such may be updated, at Lender’s
request, in connection with a Securitization, or hereafter provided to Lender in connection with
the Loan or a Securitization, being herein collectively called the “Provided Information”);
(b) Opinions of Counsel. Use reasonable efforts to cause to be rendered such
customary updates or customary modifications to the Opinions of Counsel delivered at the closing of
the Loan as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Notes or the Rating Agencies in
connection with the Securitization;
(c) Modifications to Loan Documents. Execute such amendments to the Security
Instrument and Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies in
order to achieve the required rating or to effect the Securitization (including, without
limitation, modifying the Payment Date and modifying the commencement and expiration of the
Interest Period, in each case to dates other than as originally set forth in the Notes to the
extent provided in the Note), and
(d) Cooperation with Rating Agencies. Borrower and Maryland Loan Guarantor shall, on
reasonable prior notice, (i) at Lender’s request, meet with representatives of the Rating Agencies
at reasonable times to discuss the business and operations of the Property and (ii) cooperate with
the reasonable requests of the Rating Agencies in connection with the Property. After a
Securitization and until the Obligations are paid in full, Lender may provide the Rating Agencies
with all financial reports and other information required hereunder, including copies of any
default notices or other material notices delivered to and received from Lender hereunder, to
enable them to continuously monitor the creditworthiness of Borrower and Maryland Loan Guarantor
and to permit an annual surveillance of the implied credit rating of the Securities.
14.2 Securitization Financial Statements. Borrower acknowledges that all financial
information delivered by Borrower to Lender pursuant to Article XI may, at Lender’s option,
be delivered to the Rating Agencies.
14.3 Securitization Indemnification.
14.3.1 Disclosure Documents. Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information
may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including a
prospectus, private placement memorandum, collateral term sheet or a public registration statement
(each, a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”) or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or
provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating
Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure
Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, upon request, Borrower and
Maryland Loan Guarantor shall reasonably cooperate with the holder of the Notes,
98
at no cost or
expense to Borrower, in updating the Provided Information for inclusion or summary in the
Disclosure Document by providing all current information pertaining to Borrower, Maryland Loan
Guarantor and the Property reasonably requested by Lender:
14.3.2 Indemnification Certificate. In connection with each applicable Disclosure
Document, Borrower and Maryland Loan Guarantor each agrees to provide, at Lender’s reasonable
request, an indemnification certificate:
(a) certifying that Borrower and Maryland Loan Guarantor each has carefully examined those
portions of such memorandum or prospectus, as applicable, reasonably designated in writing by
Lender for Borrower’s review pertaining to Borrower, Maryland Loan Guarantor, the Property,
Guarantor, the Loan and/or the Provided Information and insofar as such sections or portions
thereof specifically pertain to Borrower, Maryland Loan Guarantor, the Property, Guarantor, the
Provided Information or the Loan (such portions, the “Relevant Portions”), the Relevant
Portions do not (except to the extent specified by Borrower if Borrower does not agree with the
statements therein), as of the date of such certificate, to Borrower’s knowledge, contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(b) subject to the provisions of Article XVIII hereof, indemnifying Lender and the
Affiliates of Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. (collectively, “DBS”) as well as Wachovia
Bank, National Association and its Affiliates (“Wachovia”) that have prepared the
Disclosure Document relating to the Securitization, each of their respective directors, each of
their respective officers who have signed the Disclosure Document and each person or entity who
controls DBS or Wachovia within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Lender Group”), and DBS and Wachovia, together with
the Lender Group, each of their respective directors and each person who controls DBS or Wachovia
or the Lender Group, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the
Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any actual, out-of-pocket losses,
third party claims, damages (excluding lost profits, diminution in value and other consequential
damages) or liabilities arising out of third party claims (the “Liabilities”) to which any
member of the Underwriter Group may become subject to the extent such Liabilities arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Relevant Portions and in
the Provided Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission by Borrower to state
therein a material fact required to be stated in the Relevant Portions in order to make the
statements in the Relevant Portions in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading (except that (x) Borrower’s obligation to indemnify in respect of any information
contained in a Disclosure Document that is derived in part from information provided by Borrower or
any Affiliate of Borrower and in part from information provided by others unrelated to or not
employed by Borrower, and (y) Borrower shall have no responsibility for the failure of any member
of the Underwriting Group to accurately transcribe written information supplied by Borrower or to
include such portions of the Provided Information); provided that Liabilities shall exclude
all actual, out-of-pocket losses, third party claims, damages or liabilities arising out any
corrections, qualifications and/or clarifications to the Relevant Portions which are disclosed by
Borrower to Lender in writing as provided above and as to which Lender does not change the Relevant
Portions to reflect such corrections,
99
qualifications and/or clarifications). The indemnity
contained in the indemnification certificate will be in addition to any liability which Borrower
may otherwise have.
(c) The indemnification certificate shall provide that Borrower’s and Maryland Loan
Guarantor’s liability under the indemnification certificate shall be (i) limited solely to
Liabilities arising solely out of or based upon any such untrue statement or omission made in a
Disclosure Document in reliance upon and in conformity with the Relevant Portions and (ii) subject
to the provisions of Article XVIII hereof.
(d) The indemnification certificate shall also provide that promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action covered by the indemnification
certificate, such indemnified party will notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the
indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified
party thereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying
party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly
with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may
elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid
notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party. After such notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party of its assumption of such defense, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for
any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof; provided, however, if an indemnified party and the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses
available to it that are different from or in conflict with those available to the indemnifying
party, or indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert
such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such
indemnified party or parties at the expense of the indemnifying party.
(e) Retention of Servicer. Lender reserves the right to retain the Servicer at no
cost or expense to Borrower. Lender has advised Borrower that the Servicer initially retained by
Lender shall be Wachovia Bank, National Association or its Affiliate. Borrower shall pay any fees
and expenses of the Servicer and any reasonable third party fees and expenses of the Servicer,
including, without limitation, special servicing fees, work out fees and reasonable attorneys fees
and disbursements, in connection with a prepayment, release or substitution of the Property,
assumption or modification of the Loan, or following an event of Default, special servicing or work
out of the Loan or enforcement of the Loan Documents; provided however that Servicer fees
(excluding any reasonable third party fees and expenses) for releases, substitutions and
prepayments shall not exceed the following amounts:
(i) Releases: $2500 (inclusive of payoff calculation) per release;
(ii) Substitutions: $7500 per substitution; and
(iii) Prepayments: $300 for payoff quote calculation.

15.1 Assignment and Acceptance. Lender may assign to one or more Persons all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without
limitation, all or a portion of one or more of the Notes); provided that the parties to
each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Lender, for its acceptance and recording in the
Register (as hereinafter defined), an Assignment and Acceptance. In addition, Lender may
participate to one or more Persons all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including without limitation, all or a portion of one or

respective rights thereunder as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall elect.
15.2 Effect of Assignment and Acceptance. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and
recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and
obligations of Lender, as the case may be, hereunder and such assignee shall be deemed to have
assumed such rights and obligations, and (ii) Lender shall, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance,
relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion
of Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender shall
cease to be a party hereto) accruing from and after the effective date of the Assignment and
Acceptance, except with respect to (A) any payments made by Borrower to Lender pursuant to the
terms of the Loan Documents after the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance and (B) any
letter of credit, cash deposit or other deposits or security (other than the Lien of the Security
Instrument and the other Loan Documents) delivered to or for the benefit of or deposited with
German American Capital Corporation, on behalf of the holders of the Notes, as Lender, for which
German American Capital Corporation, on behalf of the holders of the Notes, shall remain
responsible for the proper disposition thereof until such items are delivered to a party who is
qualified as an Approved Bank and agrees to hold the same in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the agreement pursuant to which such items were deposited.
15.3 Content. By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, Lender and the
assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:
(i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, Lender makes no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or the
execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the
perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or
in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (ii) Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes
no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or Maryland Loan Guarantor or
the performance or observance by Borrower or Maryland Loan
101
Guarantor of any of its obligations
under any Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such
assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of such other
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision
to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without
reliance upon Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at
the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes Lender to take
such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan
Documents as are delegated to Lender by the terms hereof together with such powers and discretion
as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform, in
accordance with their terms, all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents are required to be performed by Lender.
15.4 Register. Lender shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to
and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lender and each
assignee pursuant to this Article XV and the principal amount of the Loan owing to each
such assignee from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall, with
respect to such assignees, be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The
Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any assignee pursuant to this Article
XV at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice.
15.5 Substitute Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, Lender shall, if such
Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit M
hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in
the Register, and (iii) give prompt written notice thereof to Borrower. Within five (5) Business
Days after its receipt of such notice, Borrower, at Lender’s expense, shall execute and deliver to
Lender in exchange and substitution for the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note to the order of
such assignee in an amount equal to the portion of the Loan assigned to it and a new Note to the
order of Lender in an amount equal to the portion of the Loan retained by it hereunder. Such new
Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate then outstanding
principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such
Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the Notes
(modified, however, to the extent necessary so as not to impose duplicative or
increased obligations on Borrower and to delete obligations previously satisfied by Borrower).
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XV, Borrower shall not be responsible or
liable for any additional taxes, reserves, adjustments or other costs and expenses that are related
to, or arise as a result of, any transfer of the Loan or any interest or participation therein that
arise from the transfer of the Loan or any interest or participation therein or from the execution
of the new Note contemplated by this Section 15.5, including, without limitation, any
mortgage tax. Lender and/or the assignees, as the case may be, shall from time to time designate
one agent through which Borrower shall request all approvals and consents required or contemplated
by this Agreement and on whose statements Borrower may rely.
15.6 Participations. Each assignee pursuant to this Article XV may sell
participations to one or more Persons (other than Borrower or any of its Affiliates) in or to all
or a portion of its
102
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, all or a portion of the Note held by it); provided,
however, that (i) such assignee’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan

parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such assignee shall remain the holder
of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) Borrower,
Lender and the assignees pursuant to this Article XV shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such assignee in connection with such assignee’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (v) Borrower shall bear no costs or expenses in connection
therewith, (vi) Borrower shall not be required to incur, suffer or accept (except to a de minimis
extent)) any greater obligations or liabilities than as currently set forth in the Loan Documents,
and (vii) the economics of the Loan, taken as a whole, shall not change in a manner which is
adverse to Borrower. In the event that more than one (1) party comprises Lender, Lender shall
designate one party to act on the behalf of all parties comprising Lender in providing approvals
and all other necessary consents under the Loan Documents and on whose statements Borrower may
rely.
15.7 Disclosure of Information. Any assignee pursuant to this Article XV may, in
connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to
this Article XV, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or
participant, any information relating to Borrower furnished to such assignee by or on behalf of
Borrower; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or
participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree in writing for the benefit of Borrower
to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information received by it.
15.8 Security Interest in Favor of Federal Reserve Bank. Notwithstanding any other
provision set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any assignee pursuant to this
Article XV may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the amounts owing
to it and the Note or Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with
Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
XVI. RESERVE ACCOUNTS
16.1 Tax Reserve Account. In accordance with the time periods set forth in Section
3.1, Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) shall cause to
be deposited into the Tax Reserve Account an amount equal to (a) one-twelfth of the annual
Impositions that Lender reasonably estimates, based on the most recent tax xxxx for the Property,
will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender
sufficient funds to pay all such Impositions thirty (30) days prior to the imposition of any
interest, charges or expenses for the non-payment thereof and (b) one-twelfth of the annual Other
Charges that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months
(said monthly amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Monthly Tax Reserve
Amount,” and the aggregate amount of funds held in the Tax Reserve Account being the “Tax
Reserve Amount”). As of the Closing Date, the Monthly Tax Reserve Amount is $739,696.79, but
such amount is subject to adjustment by Lender upon notice to Borrower. The Monthly Tax Reserve
Amount shall be paid by Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor)
to Lender on each Payment Date. Lender will apply the Monthly Tax Reserve
103
Amount to payments of
Impositions and Other Charges required to be made by Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland
Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) pursuant to Article V and Article VII and under
the Security Instrument, subject to Borrower’s right to contest Impositions in accordance with
Section 7.3. In making any payment relating to the Tax Reserve Account, Lender may do so
according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office, without
inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax,
assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of funds in the
Tax Reserve Account shall exceed the amounts due for Impositions and Other Charges pursuant to
Article V and Article VII, Lender shall credit such excess against future payments
to be made to the Tax Reserve Account. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax
Reserve Amount is not or will not be sufficient to pay Impositions and Other Charges by the dates
set forth above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower (or in the case of
the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by
the amount that Lender reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty
(30) days prior to the imposition of any interest, charges or expenses for the non-payment of the
Impositions and Other Charges. Upon payment of the Impositions and Other Charges, Lender shall
reassess the amount necessary to be deposited in the Tax Reserve Account for the succeeding period,
which calculation shall take into account any excess amounts remaining in the Tax Reserve Account.
16.2 Insurance Reserve Account. Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland Property,
Maryland Loan Guarantor) shall, in accordance with the time periods set forth in Section
3.1, cause to be deposited into the Insurance Reserve Account an amount equal to one-twelfth of
the insurance premiums that Lender reasonably estimates, based on the most recent xxxx, will be
payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the insurance policies upon the expiration
thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such insurance premiums
thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the policies required to be maintained by Borrower
pursuant to the terms hereof (said monthly amounts hereinafter called the “Monthly Insurance
Reserve Amount,” and the aggregate amount of funds held in the Insurance Reserve Account being
the “Insurance Reserve Amount”). As of the Closing Date, the Monthly Insurance Reserve
Amount is $206,007.88, but such amount is subject to adjustment by Lender upon notice to Borrower.
The Monthly Insurance Reserve Amount shall be paid by Borrower (or in the case of the Maryland
Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) to Lender on each Payment Date. Lender will apply the Monthly
Insurance Reserve Amount to payments of insurance premiums required to be made by Borrower (or in
the case of the Maryland Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor) pursuant to Article VI and
under the Security Instrument. In making any payment relating to the Insurance Reserve Account,
Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the insurer or agent,
without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity thereof.
If the amount of funds in the Insurance Reserve Account shall exceed the amounts due for insurance
premiums pursuant to Article VI, Lender shall credit such excess against future payments to
be made to the Insurance Reserve Account. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the
Insurance Reserve Amount is not or will not be sufficient to pay insurance premiums by the dates

action that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and Maryland

this Agreement, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document. Any payment hereunder may be
enforced and recovered in whole or in part at such time by one or more of the remedies provided to
Lender in the Loan Documents.
17.2 Remedies.
(a) Unless waived in writing by Lender, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies
available to Lender against Borrower and Maryland Loan Guarantor under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or Maryland Loan
Guarantor or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time,
whether or not all or any of the Indebtedness shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not
Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its
rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Property. Any such actions
taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly,
successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its
sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting
the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein
or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower and
Maryland Loan Guarantor each agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not
be subject to any one action or election of remedies law or rule and (ii) all liens and other
rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until
Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Security Instrument has been
foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Indebtedness or the
Indebtedness has been paid in full.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with respect to the
Account Collateral, the Lender may:
(i) without notice to Borrower, except as required by law, and at any time or from time to
time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Account Collateral
111
against the
Obligations, operating expenses and/or Capital Expenditures for the Property or any part thereof;
(ii) in Lender’s sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, exercise any and all
rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement, and/or as a secured party under the UCC;
(iii) demand, collect, take possession of or receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, xxx for,
foreclose or realize upon the Account Collateral (or any portion thereof) as Lender may determine
in its sole discretion; and
(iv) take all other actions provided in, or contemplated by, this Agreement.
(c) With respect to Borrower, Maryland Loan Guarantor, the Account Collateral and the
Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring
Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Indebtedness, and Lender may
seek satisfaction out of the Property or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of
the Indebtedness. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially
foreclose this Agreement and the Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by
this Agreement or the Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole
discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower
or Maryland Loan Guarantor defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or
more scheduled payments of principal or interest, Lender may foreclose this Agreement and the
Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to
accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose
this Agreement and the Security Instrument to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan
as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by this Agreement or the Security Instrument
as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain
subject to this Agreement and the Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by this
Agreement and the Security Instrument and not previously recovered.
17.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this
Agreement and the Security Instrument shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right,
power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower or Maryland Loan Guarantor pursuant to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s
rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in
such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise
any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or
power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be
exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or
Event of Default with respect to Borrower, Maryland Loan Guarantor or Guarantor shall not be
construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower, Maryland Loan
Guarantor or Guarantor or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
112
17.4 Costs of Collection. In the event that after an Event of Default: (i) the Notes or
any of the Loan Documents is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is
collected or enforced through any legal proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to represent
Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’
rights and involving a claim under the Notes or any of the Loan Documents; or (iii) an attorney is
retained to protect or enforce the lien or any of the terms of this Agreement, the Security
Instrument or any of the Loan Documents; then Borrower shall pay to Lender all reasonable
attorney’s fees, costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith, including costs of
appeal, together with interest on any judgment obtained by Lender at the Default Rate.

that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final decision that the same arose by reason
of the gross negligence, criminal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender.

AND BORROWER AND MARYLAND LOAN GUARANTOR EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT AN ORIGINAL
COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION MAY BE FILED WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE
CONSENT HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. BORROWER AND MARYLAND LOAN GUARANTOR
EACH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS CONSULTED WITH LEGAL COUNSEL REGARDING THE MEANING OF THIS WAIVER AND
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS AN ESSENTIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE MAKING OF THE LOAN. THIS WAIVER
SHALL SURVIVE THE REPAYMENT OF THE LOAN.
19.8 Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this
Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of
this Agreement for any other purpose.
19.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of
such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
19.10 Preferences. To the extent Borrower or Maryland Loan Guarantor makes a payment or
payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable
cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part
thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such
payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
19.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower and Maryland Loan Guarantor shall not be entitled to any
notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice
by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to
applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly
waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter
119
for which this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of
notice by Lender to Borrower.
19.12 Expenses; Indemnity.
(a) Borrower and Maryland Loan Guarantor each covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower or
Maryland Loan Guarantor fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from
Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements) actually incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation,
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by
counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender pursuant to
this Agreement); (ii) the servicing of the Loan by the Servicer after the Closing Date in
accordance with Section 14.3.2(e); (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery
and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters as required herein or under the
other Loan Documents; (iv) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement; (v) the filing and recording fees and expenses, mortgage recording
taxes, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all
required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Lien in
favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vi) enforcing or
preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any
action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower,
Maryland Loan Guarantor, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other
security given for the Loan; (vii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from
Borrower or Maryland Loan Guarantor under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect
to the Property or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements
provided under this Agreement in the nature of a work-out or of any insolvency or bankruptcy
proceedings and (viii) procuring insurance policies pursuant to Section 6.1;
provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such
costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts,
fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid
from any amounts in the Holding Account.
(b) Subject to the non-recourse provisions of Section 18.1, Borrower and Maryland Loan
Guarantor shall protect, indemnify and save harmless Lender, and all officers, directors,
stockholders, members, partners, employees, agents, successors and assigns thereof (collectively,
the Indemnified Parties) from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties,
causes of action, costs and expenses (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses
actually incurred) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Parties or the
Property or any part of its interest therein, by reason of the occurrence or existence of any of
the following (to the extent Proceeds payable on account of the following shall be inadequate; it
being understood that in no event will the Indemnified Parties be required to actually pay or incur
any costs or expenses as a condition to the effectiveness of the foregoing indemnity) prior to (i)
the acceptance by Lender or its designee of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with respect to the
Property, or (ii) an Indemnified Party or its designee taking possession or control of the Property
or (iii) the foreclosure of the Security Instrument, except to the extent caused by the actual
120
willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Indemnified Party (other than such willful
misconduct, criminal acts, fraud or gross negligence imputed to the Indemnified Parties because of
their interest in the Property): (1) ownership of Borrower’s (or in the case of the Maryland
Property, Maryland Loan Guarantor’s) interest in the Property, or any interest therein, or receipt
of any Rents or other sum therefrom, (2) any accident, injury to or death of any persons or loss of
or damage to property occurring on or about the Property or any Appurtenances thereto, (3) any
design, construction, operation, repair, maintenance, use, non-use or condition of the Property or
Appurtenances thereto, including claims or penalties arising from violation of any Legal
Requirement, Environmental Law or Insurance Requirement, as well as any claim based on any patent
or latent defect, whether or not discoverable by Lender, any claim the insurance as to which is
inadequate, and any Environmental Claim except to the extent such Environmental Claim is covered by
the Environmental Insurance Policy and the related insurer agrees to pay Lender’s claims
thereunder, (4) any Event of Default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (5)
any performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in
respect of the Property or any part thereof, (6) any negligence or tortious act or omission on the
part of Borrower, Maryland Loan Guarantor or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees,
sublessees, licensees or invitees, (7) any contest referred to in Section 7.3 hereof, or
(8) any obligation or undertaking relating to the performance or discharge of any of the terms,
covenants and conditions of the landlord contained in the Leases. Any amounts the Indemnified
Parties are legally entitled to receive under this Section 19.12(b) which are not paid
within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor by the Indemnified Parties or Lender, setting
forth in reasonable detail the amount of such demand and the basis therefor, shall bear interest
from the date of demand at the Default Rate, and shall, together with such interest, be part of the
Indebtedness and secured by the Security Instrument. In case any action, suit or proceeding is
brought against the Indemnified Parties by reason of any such occurrence, Borrower shall at
Borrower’s expense resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or will cause the same to be
resisted and defended by counsel at Borrower’s reasonable expense for the insurer of the liability
or by counsel designated by Borrower (unless reasonably disapproved by Lender promptly after Lender
has been notified of such counsel); provided, however, that nothing herein shall
compromise the right of Lender (or any Indemnified Party) to appoint its own counsel at Borrower’s
reasonable expense for its defense with respect to any action which in its reasonable opinion
presents a conflict or potential conflict between Lender and Borrower that would make such separate
representation advisable; provided, further, that if Lender shall have appointed
separate counsel pursuant to the foregoing, Borrower shall not be responsible for the expense of
additional separate counsel of any Indemnified Party unless in the reasonable opinion of Lender a
conflict or potential conflict exists between such Indemnified Party and Lender. So long as
Borrower is resisting and defending such action, suit or proceeding as provided above in a prudent
and commercially reasonable manner, Lender and the Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to
settle such action, suit or proceeding without Borrower’s consent which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, and claim the benefit of this Section 19.12(b) with respect to such
action, suit or proceeding and Lender agrees that it will not settle any such action, suit or
proceeding without the consent of Borrower. Any Indemnified Party will give Borrower prompt notice
after such Indemnified Party obtains actual knowledge of any potential claim by such Indemnified
Party for indemnification hereunder.
121
19.13 Exhibits and Schedules Incorporated. The Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto are
hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the
body hereof.
19.14 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to
this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all
offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower or Maryland
Loan Guarantor may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated
counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower or Maryland Loan Guarantor in
any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to
interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or
proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower and Maryland Loan Guarantor.
19.15 Liability of Assignees of Lender. No assignee of Lender shall have any personal
liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any amendment or amendments hereto made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter,
any different than the liability of Lender hereunder. In addition, no assignee shall have at any
time or times hereafter any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with
or secured by any agreement, lease, instrument, encumbrance, claim or right affecting or relating
to the Property or to which the Property is now or hereafter subject any different than the
liability of Lender hereunder. The limitation of liability provided in this Section 19.15
is (i) in addition to, and not in limitation of, any limitation of liability applicable to the
assignee provided by law or by any other contract, agreement or instrument, and (ii) shall not
apply to any assignee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
19.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to
create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between
Borrower and Lender or to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee,
beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and
Borrower and Maryland Loan Guarantor and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender, Borrower and Maryland Loan
Guarantor any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the
obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the
Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person
shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be
entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance
with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a
beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by
Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
122
19.17 Publicity. Other than legally required disclosures, filings and reporting
requirements, all news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or Lender or their respective
Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan
Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, or any of its Affiliates
shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender and Borrower.
19.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower
and Maryland Loan Guarantor, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a
marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Maryland Loan Guarantor, Borrower’s and Maryland Loan
Guarantor’s members and others with interests in Borrower, Maryland Loan Guarantor and of the
Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of
assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, 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 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 Property in preference to every other claimant
whatsoever.
19.19 Waiver of Counterclaim and other Actions. Borrower and Maryland Loan Guarantor each
hereby expressly and unconditionally waives, in connection with any suit, action or proceeding
brought by Lender on this Agreement, the Notes, the Security Instrument or any Loan Document, any
and every right it may have to (i) interpose any counterclaim therein (other than a counterclaim
which can only be asserted in the suit, action or proceeding brought by Lender on this Agreement,
the Notes, the Security Instrument or any Loan Document and cannot be maintained in a separate
action) and (ii) have any such suit, action or proceeding consolidated with any other or separate
suit, action or proceeding.
19.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between
the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this
Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent
counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that
such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the
party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall
rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any
manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or
Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of
any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or
instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or
Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower or Maryland Loan
Guarantor, and Borrower and Maryland Loan Guarantor each hereby irrevocably waives the right to
raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s
exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business
of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as
adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
123
19.21 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire
agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are
superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and unless specifically set
forth in a writing contemporaneous herewith the terms, conditions and provisions of any and all
such prior agreements do not survive execution of this Agreement.
19.22 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one document.
