Borrower shall provide not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date (with respect to a Total Defeasance Event such date being the “Total Defeasance Date” and with respect to a Partial Defeasance Event, such date being the “Partial Defeasance Date”) on which the Defeasance Event is to occur;
(ii)
Borrower shall pay to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Loan being defeased to and including the Defeasance Date. If for any reason the Defeasance Date is not a Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on the Note through and including the next Payment Date, provided, however, if the Defeasance Deposit shall include (or if the U.S. Obligations
-37-
purchased with such Defeasance Deposit shall provide for payment of) all principal and interest computed from the Payment Date prior to the Defeasance Date through the next succeeding Payment Date, Borrower shall not be required to pay such short interest pursuant to this sentence;

The Defeased Note and Undefeased Note shall otherwise have terms identical to the Note, except that a Defeased Note cannot be the subject of any further Defeasance Event;
(vi)
Borrower shall execute and deliver a pledge and security agreement, in form and substance that would be reasonably satisfactory to a prudent lender creating a first priority lien on the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations purchased with the Defeasance Deposit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.4 (the “Security Agreement”);
(vii)
Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel for Borrower that is standard in commercial lending transactions and subject only to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions opining, among other things, that Borrower has legally and validly transferred and assigned the U.S. Obligations and all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note or the Defeased Note (as applicable) to the Successor Borrower, that Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations delivered by Borrower and that any REMIC Trust formed pursuant to a Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code as a result of such Defeasance Event;
(viii)
Borrower shall deliver confirmation in writing from each of the applicable Rating Agencies to the effect that such release 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

Borrower and Maryland Owner shall deliver such other certificates, documents or instruments as Lender may reasonably request;
(xii)
Borrower and Maryland Owner shall deliver evidence satisfactory to Lender that each Mezzanine Borrower has complied with all of the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Mezzanine Loan Agreement with respect to the prepayment of such Mezzanine Loan; and

Borrower, pursuant to the Security Agreement or other appropriate document, shall authorize and direct that the payments received from the U.S. Obligations may be made directly to the Lockbox Account (unless otherwise directed by Lender) and applied to satisfy the Debt Service obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Note or the Defeased Note (as applicable).

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no other assumption fee shall be payable upon a transfer of the Note or the Defeased Note (as applicable) in accordance with this Section 2.4.3, but Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses and any fees and expenses of any Rating Agencies, incurred in connection therewith.
2.4.4
Assignment upon Defeasance. (a) If Borrower has specified in the notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.4.1 that it desires to effectuate a Defeasance Event in a manner which will permit the assignment of that certain Mortgage encumbering the Individual Property located in Coram, New York (as the same may be amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “New York Mortgage”) and the related Defeased Note to a new lender providing a portion of the funds necessary to acquire the Defeasance Deposit (and the U.S. Obligations purchased with the Defeasance Deposit) in order to save mortgage recording tax, Borrower and Lender shall cooperate to effect such proposed assignment in the manner set forth in this Section 2.4.4.
(b)
Lender shall assign the Defeased Note and the New York Mortgage, each without recourse, covenant or warranty of any nature, express or implied, except for the representations set forth on Schedule XVI hereto, to such new lender designated by Borrower (other than Borrower or Maryland Owner or a nominee of Borrower or Maryland Owner) provided that Borrower (i) has executed and delivered to such new lender a new note to be secured by the Defeasance Deposit (and the U.S. Obligations purchased with the Defeasance Deposit) pursuant to the Security Agreement between Borrower and such new lender (such new note to have the same term, interest rate, unpaid principal balance and all other material terms and conditions of the Note), which new note, together with the Security Agreement and the rights of such new lender in and to the Defeasance Deposit (and the U.S. Obligations purchased
-40-
with the Defeasance Deposit), shall be assigned by such new lender to Lender simultaneously with the assignment of the Defeased Note and the New York Mortgage by Lender, and (ii) has complied with all other provisions of Section 2.4 to the extent not inconsistent with this Section 2.4.4. In addition, any such assignment shall be conditioned on the following: (A) payment by Borrower of (I) Lender’s then customary administrative fee for processing assignments of mortgage; (II) the reasonable expenses of Lender incurred in connection therewith; and (III) Lender’s reasonable attorney’s fees for the preparation, delivery and performance of such an assignment; (B) Borrower shall have caused the delivery of an executed Statement of Oath under Section 275 of the New York Real Property Law; (C) such new lender shall materially modify the Defeased Note such that it shall be treated as a new loan for federal tax purposes; (D) such an assignment is not then prohibited by any federal, state or local law, rule, regulation, order or by any other governmental authority; (E) such assignment and the actions described above do not constitute a prohibited transaction for any REMIC Trust formed pursuant to a Securitization and will not disqualify such REMIC Trust as a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code as a result of such assignment and the Defeasance Event, and an opinion of counsel to Borrower and Maryland Owner to that effect is delivered to Lender in a form (and delivered by counsel) that would be reasonably satisfactory to a prudent lender; and (F) Borrower and Maryland Owner shall provide such other opinions, items, information and documents which a prudent lender would require to effectuate such assignment. Borrower shall be responsible for all mortgage recording taxes, recording fees and other charges payable in connection with any such assignment. Lender agrees that the assignment of the Defeased Note and the New York Mortgage to the new lender and the assignment of the new note, the Defeasance Deposit (and the U.S. Obligations purchased with the Defeasance Deposit) and the Security Agreement by the new lender to Lender shall be accomplished by an escrow closing conducted through an escrow agent satisfactory to Lender and pursuant to an escrow agreement satisfactory to Lender in form and substance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender reserves the right to impose different and/or additional requirements or procedures on such assignment of the Defeased Note and the New York Mortgage in order to accommodate applicable legal requirements at the time of such Defeasance Event in the State of New York if a prudent lender would impose such requirements or procedures.

To each of Borrower’s and Maryland Owner’s knowledge, neither Borrower nor Maryland Owner is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which Borrower or Maryland Owner is a party or by which Borrower, Maryland Owner or any Individual Property is bound.

-49-
permitted pursuant to clause xxi of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.

Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner has (a) not entered into this transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents.

The fair saleable value of each of Borrower’s and Maryland Owner’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than each of Borrower’s and Maryland Owner’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Each of Borrower’s and Maryland Owner’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Neither Borrower nor Maryland Owner intends to, and neither Borrower nor Maryland Owner believes that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond their ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by each of Borrower and Maryland Owner and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of each of Borrower and Maryland Owner).

Leasing Matters.
(a)
Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner may enter into Leases or modify existing Leases demising a portion of any Individual Property less than or equal to the Relevant Leasing Threshold without Lender’s prior written approval provided such Leases shall be on commercially reasonable terms and shall not contain any terms which would materially affect Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents, and further provided that such Leases shall provide that (x) they are subordinate to the Mortgage encumbering the applicable Individual Property, (y) the tenant thereunder agrees to attorn to Lender or any purchaser at a sale by foreclosure or power of sale, and (z) the tenant shall deliver all Rents payable thereunder directly to the
-73-
Lockbox Account (or, such Lease is accompanied by a Tenant Direction Letter countersigned by the tenant and the applicable Individual Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, directing such tenant to deliver all Rents payable thereunder directly to the Lockbox Account).

(d)
To the extent Lender’s written approval is required pursuant to this Section 5.1.20 to any Lease or modification (excluding a Lease for all or substantially all of an Individual Property, the approval of which is required pursuant to Section 5.1.20(b) hereof), Borrower’s or Maryland Owner’s written request therefor shall be delivered together with such materials reasonably requested by Lender in order to evaluate such request (it being acknowledged and agreed that no request for consent shall be effective unless and until such materials have been delivered to Lender) and shall conspicuously state, in large bold type, that “PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.1.20 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THIS IS A REQUEST FOR LENDER’S CONSENT. LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUESTED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS. LENDER’S FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN SUCH TIME PERIOD WILL ENABLE BORROWER TO DELIVER A SECOND NOTICE REQUESTING LENDER’S CONSENT”. In the event Lender fails to approve or disapprove to such request within ten (10) Business Days’ of the effective date of such initial request, Borrower or Maryland Owner may deliver to Lender a second written request for approval, which second written request for approval shall conspicuously state, in large bold type, that “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR LENDER’S CONSENT. LENDER’S CONSENT IS REQUESTED WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS.

In the event that Lender fails to approve or disapprove the second written request within such five (5) Business Day period, then Lender’s consent shall be deemed to have been granted.

(f)
Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner (i) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) shall enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the
-74-
tenant thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner and in a manner not to impair the value of the Individual Property involved except that, subject to the terms of this Section 5.1.20, no termination by Borrower or Maryland Owner or acceptance of surrender by a tenant of any Lease shall be permitted without the written consent of Lender which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Lender; (iii) shall not collect any of the rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (v) shall not alter, modify or change the terms of the Leases in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of the Loan Documents; and (vi) shall execute and deliver at the request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection with the Leases as Lender shall from time to time reasonably require. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower and Maryland Owner may, without the prior written consent of Lender, terminate (or accept a surrender of) any Lease which demises less than the Relevant Leasing Threshold under any of the following circumstances: (i) the tenant under said Lease is in default beyond any applicable grace and cure period, and Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, has the right to terminate such Lease; (ii) such termination is permitted by the terms of the Lease in question and Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, has secured an obligation from a third party to lease the space under the Lease to be terminated at a rental equal to or higher than the rental due under the Lease to be terminated; and (iii) if the tenant under the Lease to be terminated has executed a right under said Lease to terminate its Lease upon payment of a termination fee to Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, and has in fact terminated its Lease and paid said fee, Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, may accept said termination.
5.1.21
Alterations. Subject to the rights of tenants to make alterations pursuant to the terms of their respective Leases, each of Borrower and Maryland Owner shall obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any alterations to any Improvements, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed except with respect to alterations that may have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s and/or Maryland Owner’s financial condition, the value of the applicable Individual Property or the Net Operating Income. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any alterations that will not have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s and/or Maryland Owner’s financial condition, the value of the applicable Individual Property or the Net Operating Income, provided that such alterations are made in connection with (a) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease executed on or before the Closing Date, or any Lease executed after the Closing Date (to a Lessee that is not an Affiliate of Borrower or Maryland Owner) for which Lender’s approval was not required or was given, (b) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms and provisions of a Lease and not adversely affecting any structural component of any Improvements, any utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any building constituting a part of any Improvements, (c) alterations performed in connection with the Restoration of an Individual Property after the occurrence of a Casualty or Condemnation in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or (d) any alteration which costs less than both (i) the Threshold Amount (in the aggregate for all current alterations at the related Individual Property), and (ii) together with all other alterations currently being performed at the Properties, the Aggregate Threshold Amount, provided that, in all of the foregoing clauses (a) through (d), Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, complies with the Alteration Conditions. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the Improvements at any Individual Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed
-75-
by tenants under the Leases) shall at any time equal or exceed the Threshold Amount, each of Borrower and Maryland Owner, as applicable, upon Lender’s request, shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such total unpaid amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s and Maryland Owner’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (A) cash, (B) U.S. Obligations, (C) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned to any Securities or any class thereof in connection with any Securitization, or (D) a completion bond or an irrevocable letter of credit (payable on sight draft only) issued by a financial institution having a rating by S&P of not less than A-1+ if the term of such bond or letter of credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such term is in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial institution having a rating that is acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned to any Securities or class thereof in connection with any Securitization. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the applicable Individual Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and, if cash, may be applied from time to time, at the option of Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, to pay for such alterations. At the option of Lender, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may terminate any of the alterations work and use the deposit to restore the applicable Individual Property to the extent necessary to prevent any material adverse effect on the value of such Individual Property.

Supplemental Mortgage Affidavits. As of the date hereof, each of Borrower and Maryland Owner represents that it has paid all state, county and municipal recording and all other taxes imposed upon the execution and recordation of the Mortgages. If at
-76-
any time Lender determines (i) based on applicable law, that Lender is not being afforded the maximum amount of security available from any one or more of the Properties as a direct or indirect result of applicable taxes not having been paid with respect to any Individual Property or (ii) Lender and/or the Rating Agencies, in connection with a Securitization, require the amount secured by any Mortgage be increased, Borrower and Maryland Owner agree that Borrower and Maryland Owner, as applicable, will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender, immediately upon Lender’s request, supplemental affidavits and/or Mortgages increasing the amount of the Debt attributable to any such Individual Property (as set forth as the Release Amount on Schedule VI annexed hereto) for which all applicable taxes have been paid to an amount determined by Lender, and Borrower and Maryland Owner, as applicable, shall, on demand, pay any additional taxes.
5.1.24
Embargoed Person. Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner has performed and shall perform reasonable due diligence to insure that at all times throughout the term of the Loan, including after giving effect to any Transfers permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents (but excluding, for purposes of the covenants being made by each of Borrower and Maryland Owner in this Section 5.1.24, any Person or Persons holding publicly-traded shares in Indemnitor after the initial sale or offering thereof) and/or transfers or assignments of direct and/or indirect ownership interests in Inland Equity Investors, LLC, (a) none of the funds or other assets of any of Borrower, Maryland Owner, Principal, Joint Venture Entity and/or Indemnitor constitute property of, or are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any Embargoed Person; (b) no Embargoed Person has any interest of any nature whatsoever in any of Borrower, Maryland Owner, Principal, Joint Venture Entity and/or Indemnitor, as applicable, with the result that the investment in any of Borrower, Maryland Owner, Principal, Joint Venture Entity and/or Indemnitor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the Loan is in violation of law; and (c) none of the funds of any of Borrower, Maryland Owner, Principal, Joint Venture Entity and/or Indemnitor, as applicable, have been derived from, or are the proceeds of, any unlawful activity, including money laundering, terrorism or terrorism activities, with the result that the investment in any of Borrower, Maryland Owner, Principal, Joint Venture Entity and/or Indemnitor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the Loan is in violation of law, or may cause any Individual Property to be subject to forfeiture or seizure.
5.1.25

(a)
Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly and timely perform and observe all the terms, covenants and conditions required to be performed and observed by Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, as lessee under each Ground Lease (including, but not limited to, the payment of all rent, additional rent, percentage rent and other charges required to be paid under each Ground Lease).
(b)
If Borrower or Maryland Owner shall be in default under any Ground Lease, then, subject to the terms of the applicable Ground Lease, Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, shall grant Lender the right (but not the obligation), to cause the default or defaults under such Ground Lease to be remedied and otherwise exercise any and all rights of Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, under the Ground Lease, as may be necessary to prevent or cure any default provided such actions are necessary to protect Lender’s interest under the
-77-
Ground Lease and the Loan Documents, and Lender shall have the right to enter all or any portion of the related Ground Lease Property at such times and in such manner as Lender deems necessary, to prevent or to cure any such default.
(c )
The actions or payments of Lender to cure any default by Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, under any Ground Lease shall not remove or waive, as between Borrower (or Maryland Owner) and Lender, the default that occurred under this Agreement by virtue of the default by Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, under any Ground Lease. All sums expended by Lender to cure any such default shall be paid by Borrower and Maryland Owner to Lender, upon demand, with interest on such sum at the rate set forth in this Agreement from the date such sum is expended to and including the date the reimbursement payment is made to Lender. All such indebtedness shall be deemed to be secured by the related Mortgage.
(d)
Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner shall notify Lender promptly in writing of the occurrence of any default by Ground Lessor under any Ground Lease or the occurrence of any event that, with the passage or time or service of notice, or both, would constitute a default by Ground Lessor and the receipt by any Individual Borrower of any notice (written or otherwise) from a Ground Lessor under any Ground Lease noting or claiming the occurrence of any default by Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, under any Ground Lease or the occurrence of any event that, with the passage of time or service of notice, or both, would constitute a default by Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, under any Ground Lease. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a copy of any such written notice of default.
(e)
Within ten (10) days after receipt of written demand by Lender, each of Borrower and Maryland Owner shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from Ground Lessor under each Ground Lease and furnish to Lender the estoppel certificate of Ground Lessor stating the date through which rent has been paid and whether or not there are any defaults thereunder and specifying the nature of such claimed defaults, if any.

Each Individual Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to do, in its name or otherwise, any and all acts and to execute any and all documents that are necessary to preserve any rights of Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, under or with respect to each Ground Lease, including, without limitation, the right to effectuate any extension or renewal of each Ground Lease, or to preserve any rights of Borrower and Maryland Owner whatsoever in respect of any part of each Ground Lease (and the above powers granted to Lender are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable).
(g)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement with respect to each Ground Lease:
(i)
The lien of the related Mortgage attaches to all of Borrower’s or Maryland Owner’s rights and remedies at any time arising under or pursuant to Subsection 365(h)

As security for the Debt, each of Borrower and Maryland Owner unconditionally assigns, transfers and sets over to Lender all of Borrower’s and Maryland Owner’s claims and rights to the payment of damages arising from any rejection by the lessor under the Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code. Lender and Borrower (or Maryland Owner, as applicable) shall proceed jointly or in the name of Borrower (or Maryland Owner, as applicable) in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of the Ground Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents in any case in respect of lessor under the Bankruptcy Code.

Any amounts received by Lender or Borrower (or Maryland Owner, as applicable) as damages arising out of the rejection of the Ground Lease as aforesaid may be applied by Lender to all costs and expenses of Lender (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs) incurred in connection with the exercise of any of its rights or remedies in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.
(iv)
If, pursuant to Subsection 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower or Maryland Owner seeks to offset, against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease, the amount of any damages caused by the nonperformance by the lessor of any of its obligations thereunder after the rejection by lessor of the Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code, then Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, shall not effect any offset of the amounts so objected to by Lender. If Lender has failed to object as aforesaid within ten (10) days after notice from Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, in accordance with the first sentence of this Subsection, Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, may proceed to offset the amounts set forth in Borrower’s notice.
(v)
If any action, proceeding, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed in respect of any lessor of all or any part of the Ground Lease Property in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, Lender and Borrower (and Maryland Owner, if applicable) shall cooperatively conduct and control any such litigation with counsel agreed upon between Borrower (and Maryland Owner, if applicable) and Lender in connection with such litigation at Borrower’s (or Maryland Owner’s, as applicable) sole cost and expense.

-79-
any such proceedings. All such costs and expenses shall be secured by the lien of the related Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

(b)
Borrower and Maryland Owner shall pay all charges and other sums to be paid by Borrower and Maryland Owner pursuant to the terms of each REOA as the same shall become due and payable and prior to the expiration of any applicable grace period therein provided.

The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a rating of “A:X” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports and a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P, or by a syndicate of insurers through which, if the syndicate consists of five (5) or more members, at least sixty percent (60%) of the applicable coverage limits is with carriers having such claims paying ability ratings, and if the syndicate consists of four (4) or fewer members, at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the applicable coverage limits is with carriers having such claims paying ability ratings (provided that in either case all carriers in the syndicate shall have claims paying ability ratings of not less than “BBB” by S&P).

(e)
All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i)
no act or negligence of Borrower or Maryland Owner, or anyone acting for Borrower or Maryland Owner, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower and Maryland Owner to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgages and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. If Borrower or Maryland Owner fails in so insuring the Property or in so assigning and delivering the Policies, Lender may, at its option, obtain such insurance using such carriers and agencies as Lender shall
-92-
elect from year to year and pay the premiums therefor, and Borrower and Maryland Owner will reimburse Lender for any premium so paid, with interest thereon as stated in the Note from the time of payment, on demand, and the amount so owing to Lender shall be secured by the Mortgages. The insurance obtained by Lender may, but need not, protect Borrower’s and Maryland Owner’s interest and the coverage that Lender purchases may not pay any claim that Borrower or Maryland Owner makes or any claim that is made against Borrower or Maryland Owner in connection with any Individual Property.
Section 6.2
Casualty.
If any Individual Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower and Maryland Owner (a) shall give to Lender prompt written notice of such damage reasonably estimated by Borrower and Maryland Owner to cost more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) to repair, and (b) shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of such Individual Property as nearly as possible to the condition such Individual Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower and Maryland Owner shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower or Maryland Owner. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to approve the final settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the Release Amount for the related Individual Property and Borrower and Maryland Owner shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
Section 6.3
Condemnation.
Borrower and Maryland Owner shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any Individual Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower and Maryland Owner shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower and Maryland Owner shall, at their expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any Individual Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the applicable Individual Property or any portion thereof pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof. If any Individual Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award,
-93-
Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

(C)
Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than the Rentable Space Percentage of the total rentable space in an Individual Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases
-94-
in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, will make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto at their sole cost and expense. The term “Rentable Space Percentage” shall mean (x) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to fifty percent (50%) and (y) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to fifty percent (50%);
(D)

(G)

(I)
such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the related Individual Property or the related Improvements;
(J)
the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the affected Individual Property after giving effect to the Restoration, based on the trailing six (6) month
-95-
period immediately preceding the date of determination, shall be equal to or greater than 1.16:1.00;
(K)
Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Lender and by Borrower’s or Maryland Owner’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget should be consistent with restoration budgets of similar retail properties then owned and operated by nationally recognized owners and operators of retail properties located in the areas in which the applicable Individual Property is located; and
(L)
the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s judgment to cover the cost of the Restoration.
(ii)
The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed to be paid for out of the requested disbursement in connection with the Restoration have been paid, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Individual Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the applicable Title Insurance Policy.
(iii)
All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”), such review and acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, such review and acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv)
In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to
-96-
ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Individual Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the related Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the related Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the related Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v)
Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi)
If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt under the Loan Documents.
(vii)
The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full,
-97-
shall be deposited in the Cash Management Account to be disbursed in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each Sole Tenant Individual Property, provided the related Sole Tenant Lease continues to be in full force and effect, the related Sole Tenant remains the Tenant under such Sole Tenant Lease, and no default shall then exist under such Sole Tenant Lease, such Sole Tenant Lease shall govern and control in the event of a conflict between the following provisions of this Section 6.4 and the Sole Tenant Lease regarding the Restoration of the related Individual Property.
(c)
All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be deposited in the Cash Management Account (and applied in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement) as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii), may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper (provided no Event of Default exists, Borrower and Maryland Owner shall not be required to pay any yield maintenance in connection with such payment), or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower or Maryland Owner for such purposes as Lender shall designate, in its discretion.
(d)
In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage with respect to an Individual Property, or other transfer of title of an Individual Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket insurance Policies then in force concerning such Individual Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(e)
Lender shall with reasonable promptness following any Casualty or Condemnation notify Borrower and Maryland Owner whether or not Net Proceeds are required to be made available to Borrower for Restoration pursuant to this Section 6.4. All Net Proceeds not required to be made available for Restoration shall be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.3.2(a) hereof (a “Net Proceeds Prepayment”). If such Net Proceeds Prepayment with respect to any Casualty or Condemnation shall be equal to or greater than sixty percent (60%) of the Release Amount, Borrower shall have the right to elect to either (x) prepay the Release Amount of the applicable Individual Property (a “Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”) in accordance with Section 2.3.2(b) hereof or (y) after the Permitted Defeasance Date has occurred and if the Permitted Mezzanine Prepayment Release Date has occurred, defease a portion of the Loan in an amount equal to the applicable Release Amount in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof (a “Casualty/Condemnation Defeasance”), in either case upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) within thirty (30) days following the proposed date of the intended Net Proceeds Prepayment, Borrower and Maryland Owner shall provide Lender with written notice of Borrower’s intention to either (x) pay the applicable Release Amount less the amount of the Net Proceeds Prepayment or (y) defease a portion of the Loan in an amount equal to the sum of the Net Proceeds Prepayment and the difference between the applicable Release Amount and the amount of the Net Proceeds Prepayment, (ii) Borrower shall either (x) prepay the applicable Release Amount in accordance with Section 2.3.2(b) hereof or
-98-
(y) after the Permitted Defeasance Date has occurred and if the Permitted Mezzanine Prepayment Release Date has occurred, defease a portion of the Loan in an amount equal to the applicable Release Amount in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof, in either case on or before the second Payment Date occurring following the proposed date of the intended Net Proceeds Prepayment, and (iii) no Event of Default shall exist on the date of such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment or Casualty/Condemnation Defeasance, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 to the contrary, neither Borrower nor Maryland Owner shall have any obligation to commence Restoration of an Individual Property upon delivery of the written notice set forth in clause (i) of the preceding sentence (unless Borrower or Maryland Owner subsequently shall fail to satisfy the requirement of clause (ii) of the preceding sentence).
Section 7.1
Required Repair Funds.
7.1.1
Deposits. Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner shall perform the repairs at the Properties as more particularly set forth on Schedule IV hereto (such repairs hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”) within the applicable time frames specified on Schedule IV. On the Closing Date, Borrower and Maryland Owner shall deposit with Lender the amount for such Individual Property set forth on such Schedule IV hereto, if any, to perform the Required Repairs for such Individual Property. Amounts so deposited, if any, shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Fund” and the account, if any, in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Account”. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower and Maryland Owner does not either (i) deposit with Lender the Required Repair Fund as set forth above, or (ii) complete the Required Repairs at any Individual Property within the required deadline for each such repair as set forth on Schedule IV. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs at one or more of the Properties or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
7.1.2
Release of Required Repair Funds. Lender shall disburse to Borrower and Maryland Owner the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time upon satisfaction by Borrower and Maryland Owner of each of the following conditions: (i) Borrower and Maryland Owner shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which Borrower or Maryland Owner requests such payment be made and specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (ii) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (iii) Lender shall have received an Officer’s Certificate (A) stating that all Required Repairs at the applicable Individual Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, such certificate to be accompanied
-99-
by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the Required Repairs, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs performed at such Individual Property to be funded by the requested disbursement under a contract in excess of $50,000, and (C) stating that each Person who has supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (iv) at Lender’s option, a title search for such Individual Property indicating that such Individual Property is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (v) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs at such Individual Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower or Maryland Owner. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account with respect to the Properties more than once each calendar month and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2. Any Required Repair Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall be paid (a) to Senior Mezzanine Lender to be held by Senior Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the Senior Mezzanine Loan Agreement for purposes similar to those described in this Section 7.1, (b) if the Senior Mezzanine Loan is no longer outstanding, but the Junior Mezzanine Loan is outstanding, then to Junior Mezzanine Lender to be held by Junior Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the Junior Mezzanine Loan Agreement for purposes similar to those described in this Section 7.1, or (c) if neither the Senior Mezzanine Loan nor the Junior Mezzanine Loan is then outstanding, then to Borrower.
Section 7.2
Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund.
Borrower and Maryland Owner shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above are hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Tax and Insurance Reserve Account”). The Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount and all other payments due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower and Maryland Owner to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower and Maryland Owner pursuant to this Agreement and under the Mortgages. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums) or from Borrower or Maryland Owner without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof; provided, however, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to pay such real property taxes sufficiently early to obtain the benefit of any available discounts to which it has knowledge. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund shall
-100-
exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund. The Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and shall at Lender’s option be held in Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Properties. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth above, Lender shall notify Borrower and Maryland Owner of such determination and Borrower and Maryland Owner shall increase their monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes or Insurance Premiums. Any Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall be paid (a) to Senior Mezzanine Lender to be held by Senior Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the Senior Mezzanine Loan Agreement for purposes similar to those described in this Section 7.2, (b) if the Senior Mezzanine Loan is no longer outstanding, but the Junior Mezzanine Loan is outstanding, then to Junior Mezzanine Lender to be held by Junior Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the Junior Mezzanine Loan Agreement for purposes similar to those described in this Section 7.2, or (c) if neither the Senior Mezzanine Loan nor the Junior Mezzanine Loan is then outstanding, then to Borrower.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinbefore contained, Lender shall waive the requirement set forth herein for Borrower and Maryland Owner to make deposits for the payment of Insurance Premiums into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund so long as (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) Borrower and Maryland Owner have provided Lender with satisfactory evidence (as determined by Lender) that each Individual Property is insured in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement pursuant to a blanket insurance Policy covering substantially all real property owned directly or indirectly by Indemnitor, including, without limitation, the Properties.
Section 7.3
Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
7.3.1
Replacement Reserve Fund. Borrower and Maryland Owner shall pay to Lender on the Closing Date the sum of Two Million Six Hundred Seventeen Thousand Three Hundred Two and 00/100 Dollars ($2,617,302.00) and on each Payment Date thereafter the sum of One Hundred Nine Thousand Fifty-Four and 27/100 Dollars ($109,054.27) (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”), which amounts shall be deposited with and held by Lender for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Properties during the calendar year (collectively, the “Replacements”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Account”. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the amount of Replacement Reserve Funds on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account at any given time shall not exceed Two Million Six Hundred Seventeen Thousand Three Hundred Two and No/100 Dollars ($2,617,302.00) in the aggregate (the “Replacement Reserve Cap”) and, accordingly, to the extent a Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit would result in the aggregate amount of Replacement Reserve Funds in the Replacement Reserve Account to exceed the Replacement Reserve Cap, such Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be decreased by an amount equal to such excess. Lender may
-101-
reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower and Maryland Owner if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Properties.
7.3.2
Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account.
(a)
Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower and Maryland Owner only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower or Maryland Owner for the costs of routine maintenance to an Individual Property, replacement of inventory or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund or the Rollover Reserve Fund.
(b)
Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and Maryland Owner and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower and Maryland Owner amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower or Maryland Owner therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(e)) as determined by Lender. In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists.
(c)
Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made. With each request Borrower and Maryland Owner shall certify that all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the applicable Individual Property to which Replacements are being provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below, each request shall include evidence of payment of all such amounts. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e), each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower and Maryland Owner shall provide Lender evidence of completion satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.
(d)
Borrower and Maryland Owner shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower or Maryland Owner, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower or Maryland Owner and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment
-102-
is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower and Maryland Owner to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $100,000 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the applicable Individual Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).
(e)
If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $100,000, (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the applicable Individual Property and are properly secured or have been installed in such Individual Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
(f)
Neither Borrower nor Maryland Owner shall make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $5,000.00.
7.3.3
Performance of Replacements.
(a)
Borrower and Maryland Owner shall make Replacements when required in order to keep each Individual Property in condition and repair consistent with other first class, full service retail properties in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the respective Individual Property is located, and to keep each Individual Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower and Maryland Owner shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.
(b)
Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials under contracts for an amount in excess of $100,000 in connection
-103-
with the Replacements. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower and Maryland Owner shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
(c)
In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, and such failure continues to exist for more than thirty (30) days after notice from Lender to Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, without providing any prior notice to Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
(d)
In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of such Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower and Maryland Owner grant Lender the right to enter onto any Individual Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make such Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect such Individual Property from damage, subject to the rights of Tenants. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgages. For this purpose each of Borrower and Maryland Owner constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake such Replacements in the name of Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked but shall only be effective following an Event of Default.

(a)
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower and Maryland Owner under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower and Maryland Owner or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of any Individual Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Borrower and Maryland Owner agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Properties and each Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b)
With respect to Borrower, Maryland Owner and the Properties, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Individual Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other Individual Property, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Properties, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgages in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgages 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 Owner defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by one or more of the Mortgages as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgages to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgages and not previously recovered.
(c)
Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower and Maryland Owner shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly
-113-
after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender following the occurrence of an Event of Default as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, each of Borrower and Maryland Owner ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower and Maryland Owner by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower and Maryland Owner shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower and Maryland Owner only as of the Closing Date.
(d)
As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include, without limitation, any sale by power of sale.
Section 8.3
Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.
The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower and Maryland Owner pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower or Maryland Owner shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or Maryland Owner or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
Section 9.1

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan.

At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a master servicer, servicer, special servicer/trustee (any such master servicer, servicer, special servicer/trustee, together with its agents, nominees or designees, are collectively referred to as “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement and/or a special servicing agreement (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower and Maryland Owner shall be responsible for any reasonable set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that Borrower and Maryland Owner shall not be responsible for payment of the monthly servicing fee due to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower and Maryland Owner shall pay (i) any liquidation fees that may be due to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement in connection with the exercise of any or all remedies permitted under this Agreement, (ii) any workout fees and special servicing fees that may be due to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, which fees shall be due and payable by Borrower and Maryland Owner on a periodic or continuing basis in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, and (iii) the costs of all property inspections and/or appraisals of the Properties (or any updates to any existing inspection or appraisal) required under the Servicing Agreement or that a Servicer may otherwise require under the Servicing Agreement (other than the cost of annual inspections required to be borne by Servicer under the Servicing Agreement). Provided no Event of Default is continuing, if Servicer proposes to transfer the servicing of the Loan to a Servicer that is a special servicer based on Servicer’s judgment that a Default in the payment of Debt Service is reasonably foreseeable, Servicer shall use good faith efforts to consult with Borrower and Maryland Owner before transferring the servicing of the Loan, except in those instances in which Servicer determines in its sole discretion that the failure to so transfer the servicing of the Loan would materially and adversely affect the holders of the Securities, and
-126-
Borrower and Maryland Owner acknowledge and agree that any such consultation shall be conducted on a non-binding basis and any decision by Servicer to transfer the Loan to a special servicer shall be final and binding on, and shall not be subject to challenge by, Borrower or Maryland Owner.
Section 9.7
Splitting the Loan.
At the election of Lender in its sole discretion or in connection with a repurchase by Lender of any portion of the Loan under the operative documents for any Securitization, the Loan or any individual Note making up the Loan shall be split and severed into two or more loans which, at Lender’s election, shall not be cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with each other. Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner hereby agrees to deliver to Lender to effectuate such severing of the Loan or any individual Note, as the case may be, as requested by Lender, (a) additional executed documents, or amendments and modifications to the applicable Loan Documents, (b) new opinions or updates to the opinions delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, (c) endorsements and/or updates to the title insurance policies delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, and (d) any other certificates, instruments and documentation determined by Lender as necessary or appropriate to such severance (the items described in subsections (a) through (d) collectively hereinafter shall be referred to as “Severing Documentation”), which Severing Documentation shall be acceptable to Lender in form and substance in its sole discretion. Borrower hereby agrees to be responsible for all third-party expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and delivery of the Severing Documentation and the effectuation of the uncrossing of the Loan from the additional loans. Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon such severing of the Loan, Lender may effect, in its sole discretion, one or more Securitizations of which the severed loans may be a part.
Section 10.1
Survival.
This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower and/or Maryland Owner, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.
Section 10.2
Lender’s Discretion.
Whenever pursuant to this Agreement, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive.

Neither Borrower nor Maryland Owner shall 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 Maryland Owner and except with respect to matters for which Borrower and Maryland Owner are not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.

Section 10.13
Expenses; Indemnity.
(a)
Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower or Maryland Owner fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) 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 and Maryland Owner (including, without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Properties); (ii) Borrower’s and Maryland Owner’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s and Maryland Owner’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be
-132-
performed or complied with after the Closing Date (except for those costs and expenses expressly assumed herein or in the other Loan Documents by Lender); (iv) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, 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 requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower’s and Maryland Owner’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) 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 or Maryland Owner, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Individual Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Properties (including, without limitation, any reasonable and customary fees incurred by Servicer that is a master servicer or Servicer in connection with the transfer of the Loan to a Servicer that is a special servicer prior to or following a Default or an Event of Default) 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; provided, however, that Borrower and Maryland Owner 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 Lockbox Account or the Cash Management Account, as applicable.
(b)
Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower or Maryland Owner of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower or Maryland Owner contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that neither Borrower nor Maryland Owner shall have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower and Maryland Owner shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
(c )
Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower or Maryland Owner fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any review by a Rating Agency of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent, approval, waiver
-133-
or confirmation obtained from any Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.
Section 10.14

The 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.
Section 10.15
Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.
Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note 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 Owner 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 Owner 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 Owner.
Section 10.16
No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a)
Each of Borrower, Maryland Owner 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, Maryland Owner and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Properties other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b)
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender, Borrower and Maryland Owner and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender, Borrower and Maryland Owner 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.
Section 10.17
Publicity.
All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or Maryland Owner 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, to JPM or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of JPM. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Lender through any media intended to reach the general public which refers solely to Borrower and Maryland Owner or to the Loan shall be subject to the prior written approval of Borrower and Maryland Owner, provided however, the
-134-
foregoing shall not apply to Provided Information included in disclosure documents in connection with a Securitization.
Section 10.18
Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.
(a)
Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner acknowledge that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property taken separately. Borrower and Maryland Owner agree that the Mortgages are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Mortgages shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Mortgages which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Mortgage; (iii) each Mortgage shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.
(b)
To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Borrower and Maryland Owner, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Maryland Owner, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, Maryland Owner’s partners and other in interest in Maryland Owner, and of the Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Mortgages, 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 Properties for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, each of Borrower and Maryland Owner, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Mortgages, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower or Maryland Owner which would require the separate sale of the Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property or any combination of the Properties before proceeding against any other Individual Property or combination of Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure each of Borrower and Maryland Owner does hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Properties.
Section 10.19
Waiver of Counterclaim.
Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
Section 10.20
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
-135-
construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, each of Borrower and Maryland Owner 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 Owner, and each of Borrower and Maryland Owner 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. Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner 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 Maryland Owner or their respective Affiliates.
Section 10.21
Brokers and Financial Advisors.
Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower, Maryland Owner or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 10.22
Prior Agreements.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the final and entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements or understandings 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 such prior agreement do not survive execution of this Agreement and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties hereto or thereto.

Section 10.24
Joint and Several Liability.
If Borrower consists of more than one (1) Person, the obligations and liabilities of each Person shall be joint and several. The parties hereto acknowledge that the defined term “Borrower” (as well as the defined term defining each other Collective Group) has been defined to collectively include each Individual Borrower (and in the case of each Collective Group, defined to collectively include each member of the same). It is the intent of the parties hereto in determining whether (a) a breach of a representation or a covenant has occurred, (b) there has occurred a Default or Event of Default, or (c) an event has
-136-
occurred which would create recourse obligations under Section 9.4 of this Agreement, that any such breach, occurrence or event with respect to any Individual Borrower (or with respect to any single member of a Collective Group) shall be deemed to be such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to every Individual Borrower (and in the case of each Collective Group, each member of the same) and that every Individual Borrower need not have been involved with such breach, occurrence or event in order for the same to be deemed such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to every Individual Borrower (and likewise that each member of a Collective Group need not have been involved with such breach, occurrence or event in order for the same to be deemed such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to such Collective Group). The term “Collective Group” as used in this Agreement shall refer to each of the groups of entities represented in this Agreement by the following defined terms: Borrower and Principal. The obligations and liabilities of each Individual Borrower and Maryland Owner shall be joint and several.
Section 10.25
Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:
(a)
the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s and Maryland Owner’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower and Maryland Owner; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice;
(b)
the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower and Maryland Owner at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;

(d)
the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower or Maryland Owner of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day to day operation of any Individual Property).
The rights described above in this Section 10.25 may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.
Section 10.26
Lender’s Right to Unwind Cross-Collateralization/Cross-Default.
Lender shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to release any Individual Property or Individual Borrower and Maryland Owner from the cross-defaulting and the cross-collateralization effected pursuant to the grant of the Mortgage from each Individual Borrower and Maryland Owner and secured by the lien of the applicable Mortgage. Borrower and
-137-
Maryland Owner shall cooperate with Lender in executing all documents as may be required in connection therewith. Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner shall properly deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender or its designee any replacement or substitute loan agreements, promissory notes, security instruments and other loan documents, title, hazard and liability insurance policies, opinions of counsel and other documents and instruments as Lender may reasonably request in order to effectuate the foregoing. Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner agrees to reimburse Lender upon demand for all costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with the foregoing.

Each Individual Borrower and Maryland Owner hereby waives any and all benefits and defenses under California Civil Code Section 2810 and agrees that by doing so, such Individual Borrower and Maryland Owner shall be liable even if each other Individual Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable (each, an “Other Obligor” and, collectively, the “Other Obligors”) had no liability at the time of execution of the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or any other Loan Document, or thereafter ceases to be liable. Each Individual Borrower and Maryland Owner hereby waives any and all benefits and defenses under California Civil Code Section 2809 and agrees that by doing so, each Individual Borrower’s and Maryland Owner’s liability may be larger in amount and more burdensome than that of any Other Obligor. Each Individual Borrower and Maryland Owner waives all rights to require Lender to pursue any other remedy it may have against any Other Obligor, or any shareholder, member or partner of any Other Obligor, including any and all benefits under California Civil Code Section 2845, 2849 and 2850. Each Individual Borrower and Maryland Owner further waives any rights, defenses and benefits that may be derived from Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code or comparable provisions of the laws of any other jurisdiction and further waives all other suretyship defenses such Individual Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, would otherwise have under the laws of California or any other jurisdiction.
(b)
Upon a default under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender in its sole discretion, without prior notice to or consent of any Individual Borrower and/or Maryland Owner, may elect to: (i) foreclose either judicially or nonjudicially against any real or personal property security it may hold for the Loan, (ii) accept a transfer of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, (iii) compromise or adjust the Loan or any part of it or make any other accommodation with any Other Obligor, any Individual Borrower or Maryland Owner, or (iv) exercise any other remedy against any Other Obligor, any Individual Borrower or Maryland Owner, or any security. No such action by Lender shall release or limit the liability of any Individual Borrower and/or Maryland Owner, who shall remain liable under this Agreement after the action, even if the effect of the action is to deprive any Individual Borrower and/or Maryland Owner of any subrogation rights, rights of indemnity, or other rights to collect reimbursement from any Other Obligor for any sums paid to Lender, whether contractual or arising by operation of law or otherwise. Each Individual Borrower and Maryland Owner expressly agrees that under no circumstances shall it be deemed to have any right, title, interest or claim in or to any real or personal property to be held by Lender or any third party after any foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure of any security for the Loan.
-138-
(c)
Regardless of whether any Individual Borrower or Maryland Owner may have made any payments to Lender, each Individual Borrower and Maryland Owner hereby waives: (A) all rights of subrogation, indemnification, contribution and any other rights to collect reimbursement from any Other Obligor or any other party for any sums paid to Lender, whether contractual or arising by operation of law (including the United States Bankruptcy Code or any successor or similar statute) or otherwise, (B) all rights to enforce any remedy that Lender may have against any Other Obligor, and (C) all rights to participate in any security now or later to be held by Lender for the Loan. The waivers given in this subsection (c) shall be effective until the Loan has been paid and performed in full.
(d)
Each Individual Borrower and Maryland Owner waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guarantied obligation, has destroyed any Individual Borrower’s and/or Maryland Owner’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any Other Obligor by operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. Each Individual Borrower and Maryland Owner further waives any right to a fair value hearing under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a, or any other similar law, to determine the size of any deficiency owing (for which any Other Obligor would be liable hereunder) following a non-judicial foreclosure sale.
(e)
Without limiting the foregoing or anything else contained in this Agreement, each Individual Borrower and Maryland Owner waives all rights and defenses that such Individual Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, may have because the Loan is secured by real property. This means, among other things:
(i)
That Lender may collect from Borrower and/or Maryland Owner without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any Other Obligor; and
(ii)
If Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any Other Obligor: (x) the amount of the Loan may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (y) Lender may collect from Borrower and/or Maryland Owner even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right any Individual Borrower and/or Maryland Owner may have to collect from any Other Obligor.
This subsection (e) is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses any Individual Borrower and/or Maryland Owner may have because the Loan is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
(f)
Each Individual Borrower and Maryland Owner waives all rights and defenses arising out of any failure of Lender to disclose to any Individual Borrower and/or Maryland Owner any information relating to the financial condition, operations, properties or prospects of any Other Obligor now or in the future known to Lender (each Individual Borrower and Maryland Owner waiving any duty on the part of the Lender to disclose such information).
