Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and operations. Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the sole business of Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of the Property. The ownership interests of Borrower are as set forth on the organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule IV. Borrower (a) has complied in all respects with its certificate of formation and limited liability company operating agreement or limited partnership agreement; (b) has maintained complete books and records and, except in connection with the Loan, bank accounts separate from those of its Affiliates; (c) has obeyed all limited liability company or limited partnership, as applicable, formalities required to maintain its status as, and at all times has held itself out to the public as, a legal entity separate and distinct from any other entity (including, but not limited to, any Affiliate thereof); and (d) has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business and to own its property, as now conducted or owned, and as contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power and authority to do business in the state in which the Property is located. The signatory hereto on behalf of Borrower has all necessary power, authority and legal right to execute this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party on Borrower’s behalf. The Guarantor has the necessary power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Guaranty.
4.1.2 Proceedings. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability,
‑43 ‑
to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower and/or Guarantor, as applicable, will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, any mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower and/or Guarantor, as applicable, of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and are in full force and effect.
4.1.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower, Guarantor or, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, the Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower, Guarantor or the Property, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower, Guarantor or the condition or ownership of the Property.
4.1.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not 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 it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property are bound. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, any mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) any obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (u) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, and (b) the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents.
4.1.6 Title. Borrower is the owner of a valid leasehold interest in the Office Condominium pursuant to the Development Lease, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, the Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. Each of the Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents, and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected
‑44 ‑
collateral assignments of, all personalty and intangible assets owned by Borrower (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances and such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents. Except as set forth in the Title Insurance Policy, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has not (a) entered into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) failed to receive reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. After giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets are greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out Borrower’s business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and Borrower does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond Borrower’s ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any of Borrower’s constituent Persons, and none of Borrower nor any of its constituent Persons has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. None of Borrower nor any of its constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or properties, and Borrower does not have any knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any petition against Borrower or any of its constituent Persons.
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by or on behalf of Borrower (i) in connection with the Loan Application, (ii) in this Agreement, or (iii) in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or Guarantor.
4.1.9 No Plan Assets. Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3‑101. Compliance by Borrower and Guarantor with the provisions hereof will not involve any Prohibited Transaction. Neither Guarantor nor Borrower has any pension, profit sharing, stock option, insurance or other arrangement or plan for employees covered by Title IV of ERISA, and no “Reportable Event” as defined in ERISA has occurred and
‑45 ‑
is now continuing with respect to any such plan. The performance by Borrower of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents and Borrower’s conducting of its operations do not violate any provisions of ERISA. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to any state statute regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 2(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (c) none of Borrower, Guarantor or ERISA Affiliate is at the date hereof, or has been at any time within the two years preceding the date hereof, an employer required to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan, or a “contributing sponsor” (as such term is defined in section 4001 of ERISA) in any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan; and none of Borrower, Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate has any contingent liability, other than COBRA continuation of coverage obligations imposed by state law, with respect to any post‑retirement “welfare benefit plan” (as such term is defined in ERISA) except as disclosed to the Lender in writing.
4.1.10 Compliance. Borrower and the Property (including the use thereof) comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes. Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, there has not been committed by Borrower, or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property, any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Neither the Improvements as constructed at the Property, nor the use of the Property by tenants under the Leases and the contemplated accessory uses will violate (a) any Legal Requirements (including subdivision, zoning, building, environmental protection and wetland protection Legal Requirements), or (b) any building permits, restrictions or record, or agreements affecting the Property or any part thereof. Neither the zoning authorizations, approvals or variances nor the other right to construct or to use the Property is to any extent dependent upon or related to any real estate other than the Property.
4.1.11 Financial Information. All financial data with respect to the Property and Guarantor, including, without limitation, the statements of Net Cash Flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of the Property identified therein and Guarantor as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared or audited by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (or another basis of accounting acceptable to Lender and consistently used) throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower has no contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long‑term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and are reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Property or the operation thereof as a retail or distribution facility, as applicable, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no Material Adverse Change
‑46 ‑
in the financial condition, operation or business of Borrower or Guarantor from that set forth in said financial statements.
4.1.12 Condemnation. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s best knowledge, is threatened or contemplated with respect to all or any portion of the Property or for the relocation of any roadway providing access to the Property.
4.1.13 Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any purposes prohibited by any Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
4.1.14 Utilities and Public Access. The Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service the Property for its intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of the Property are located either in the public right‑of‑way abutting the Property (which are connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property) or in recorded easements serving the Property. All roads necessary for the use of the Property for the Property’s current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.

4.1.18 Enforceability. The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set‑off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower or Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and neither Borrower nor Guarantor has asserted any right of rescission, set‑off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.
‑47 ‑

Borrower has obtained, or caused to be obtained, and has delivered, or caused to be delivered, to Lender insurance certificates in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, with all premiums paid thereunder, reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in this Agreement. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, no claims provided to Borrower relating to the Property have been made or are currently pending, outstanding or otherwise remain unsatisfied under any such Policies, and no Person, including Borrower, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of any such Policies.

Each Tenant is currently operating its business within the Improvements demised thereby. Borrower is the owner and lessor of landlord’s interest in the Leases. No Person has any possessory interest in the Property or right to occupy the same except under and pursuant to the provisions of the Leases or the Subleases. The Leases are in full force and effect and, except as may be disclosed in any tenant estoppel certificates delivered to Lender there are no material defaults thereunder by either party and there are no conditions that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute material defaults thereunder (except for defaults which have been summarized on Schedule II attached hereto).

Neither Borrower nor Guarantor, know of any proposed assessment for additional federal, foreign or state taxes for any period, or of any basis therefor, that, individually or in the aggregate, taking into account such charges, accruals and reserves in respect thereof as such Person has made, could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change with respect to Borrower, Guarantor or the Property.

Section 5.1 Affirmative Covenants. From the date hereof and until payment and performance in full of all Obligations, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:
5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply with all Legal Requirements applicable to Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes. There shall never be committed by Borrower, and Borrower shall not permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property to commit, any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names, preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business, and shall keep the Property in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the applicable Mortgage. Borrower shall cause the Property to be insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and cause to be maintained liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in this Agreement. Borrower shall cause the Property to be operated in accordance with the terms and provisions of any O&M Agreement applicable to the Property in all material respects. After prior notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower or the Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided, that: (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) such proceeding shall be permitted under, and be conducted in accordance with, the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (c) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (d) Borrower shall, upon final determination thereof, promptly comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (e) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the

Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1.1, to the extent the Lease with a tenant remains in effect and such tenant remains liable for the obligations under its Lease, such tenant shall have the right to exercise any contest rights set forth in such Lease in accordance with the terms thereof and, to the extent such rights conflict or are inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 5.1.1, the provisions set forth in such Lease shall govern and control, provided that if such tenant loses such contest, or if as a result of any legal proceeding or enforcement action by a Governmental Authority in respect of such foregoing provisions, title to the Property is in imminent risk of being transferred, Borrower shall be responsible for any sums ultimately owed to any Governmental Authority (including any penalty payments, interests charges or other similar sums owed to such Governmental Authority) or complying with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1.1.
5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower shall pay, or shall cause its tenant(s) to pay (to the extent any tenant is obligated to make such payments under its Lease) all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property, or any part thereof, prior to delinquency; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to directly pay (or cause its tenant(s) to pay) Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof in respect of the Property. Borrower shall furnish to Lender receipts or other evidence satisfactory to Lender for the payment of the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent provided, however, (i) Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, and (ii) if the tenant under a Lease pays such Taxes or Other Charges directly to the applicable authority and Borrower timely requests and diligently pursues evidence of payment, and further provided that no enforcement action has been commenced by the applicable authority resulting from such tenant’s failure to pay Taxes or Other Charges, Borrower shall have an additional thirty (30) day period to provide such evidence to Lender. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances), and shall promptly pay for or cause to be paid all utility services provided to the Property. After prior notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) such proceeding shall be permitted under, and be conducted in accordance with, the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (c) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest
‑56 ‑

Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the Property (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any danger of the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Property being primed by any related Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1.2, to the extent the Lease with a tenant remains in effect and such tenant remains liable for the obligations under this Lease, such tenant shall have the right to exercise any contest rights set forth in such Lease in accordance with the terms thereof and, to the extent such rights conflict or are inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 5.1.2, the provisions set forth in such Lease shall govern and control, so long as no Governmental Authority commences any enforcement action in connection with the non‑payment of any Taxes or Other Charges which could result in a transfer of title to the Property, and in addition Borrower shall be responsible for any sums ultimately owed to any Governmental Authority in connection with any applicable Taxes or Other Charges (including any penalty payments, interest charges or similar monetary sums owed to such Governmental Authority).
5.1.3 Litigation.

Subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases, Borrower shall permit agents, representatives and employees of Lender to inspect the Property or any part thereof at reasonable hours upon reasonable advance notice (which may be given verbally).

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. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the applicable Improvements on the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and Lender may apply such security from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such alterations.
5.1.22 Operation of Property. (a) Borrower shall cause the Property to be operated, in all material respects, in accordance with the applicable Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, as applicable. In the event that any Management Agreement expires or the Property is removed from the application of the Management Agreement (without limiting any obligation of Borrower to obtain Lender’s consent to any removal of the Property from the application of the Management Agreement or modification of any Management Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement), Borrower shall promptly enter into a Replacement Management Agreement with Manager or another Qualified Manager, as applicable. With the exception of the Subleases, Borrower will promptly notify Lender if the tenant under any Lease ceases to operate its business within the Improvements demised by such Lease.

5.1.23 Changes in the Legal Requirements Regarding Taxation. If any Legal Requirement or other law, order, requirement or regulation of any Governmental Authority is enacted or adopted or amended after the date the Loan is funded which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Obligations or Lender’s interest in the Property (other than an income tax), Borrower must pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Borrower would be unlawful or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then in any such event, Lender may, by written notice to Borrower of not less than ninety (90) days, declare the Obligations immediately due and payable.
5.1.24 No Credits on Account of the Obligations. Borrower shall not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Obligations for any payment of
‑65 ‑
Taxes assessed against the Property and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property for real estate tax purposes because of the Loan Documents or the Obligations. If Legal Requirements or other laws, orders, requirements or regulations require such claim, credit or deduction, Lender may, by written notice to Borrower of not less than ninety (90) days, declare the Obligations immediately due and payable.
5.1.25 Personal Property. Borrower shall cause all of its personal property, fixtures, attachments and equipment delivered upon, attached to or used in connection with the operation of the Property to always be located at the Property and shall be kept free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances and security interests, except Permitted Encumbrances.
5.1.26 Appraisals. Lender shall have the right to obtain a new or updated appraisal of the Property from time to time; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred Lender shall do so not more often than once in every twelve (12) month period. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in this regard. If the appraisal is required to be delivered by Borrower under this Agreement or any applicable law or regulatory requirement, or bank policy promulgated to comply therewith, or if an Event of Default exists, or if the Loan has been transferred to special servicing, Borrower shall pay for any such appraisal upon Lender’s request; otherwise, any other appraisal obtained by Lender (except as otherwise specifically set forth in Sections 5.1.8, 5.1.9 and 9.6 hereof) shall be at Lender’s sole cost and expense.
5.1.27 Condominium. Borrower shall (a) comply in all material respects with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Condominium Documents and any rules and regulations that may be adopted for the Condominium, as the same shall be in force and effect from time to time; (b) pay, or cause to be paid, all Condominium Common Charges imposed against the Condominium unit leased by Borrower pursuant to the Condominium Documents prior to delinquency; (c) comply in all material respects with any state, local or federal law, rule and regulation applicable to Borrower with respect to the Condominium, including, but not limited to, the securities and condominium laws of the State and the rules and regulations pertaining thereto, if applicable; (d) take, or cause to be taken, all actions as may be necessary from time to time to preserve and maintain the Condominium in accordance with all state, local or federal laws, rules and regulations which affect the establishment and maintenance of condominiums in the State.
5.1.28 Development Lease. Borrower shall (a) pay all rents, additional rents and other sums required to be paid by Borrower, as tenant under and pursuant to the provisions of the Development Lease as and when such rent or other charge is payable, (b) diligently perform and observe in all material respects all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Development Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant thereunder, and (c) if lessor under the Development Lease has not so notified Lender, promptly notify Lender of the giving of any written notice by the lessor under the Development Lease to Borrower of any default by Borrower in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Development Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice. Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, surrender the leasehold estate created by the Development Lease or terminate or cancel the Development Lease or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend, or waive any of the terms or provisions of, the
‑66 ‑
Development Lease, in any material respect, either orally or in writing, and Borrower hereby assigns to Lender, as further security for the payment and performance of the Obligations and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Loan Documents, all of the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrower, as tenant under the Development Lease, to surrender the leasehold estate created by the Development Lease or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend, or waive any of the terms or provisions of, the Development Lease in any material respect and any such surrender of the leasehold estate created by the Development Lease or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of, or waiver of any of the terms or provisions of, the Development Lease in any material respect without the prior written consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect. If Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Development Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of the Loan Documents, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its Obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Development Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or observed or to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under the Development Lease shall be kept unimpaired as a result thereof and free from default, even though the existence of such event of default or the nature thereof be questioned or denied by Borrower or by any party on behalf of Borrower. If Lender shall make any payment or perform any act or take action in accordance with the preceding sentence, Lender shall promptly notify Borrower of the making of any such payment, the performance of any such act, or the taking of any such action. In any such event, subject to the rights of Tenants, subtenants and other occupants under the Leases or of parties to any REA, Lender and any Person designated as Lender’s agent by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Property at any reasonable time, on reasonable notice (which may be given orally) and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. Lender may pay and expend such sums of money as Lender reasonably deems necessary for any such purpose and upon so doing shall be subrogated to any and all rights of the landlord under the Development Lease. Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Lender within ten (10) days after demand, all such sums so paid and expended by Lender, and if not paid within such ten (10) day period, together with interest thereon from the day of such payment at the Default Rate. All sums so paid and expended by Lender and the interest thereon shall be secured by the legal operation and effect of the Mortgage. If the lessor under the Development Lease shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default sent by said lessor to Borrower, as tenant under the Development Lease, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon. Borrower shall exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of the Development Lease upon demand by Lender made at any time within one year prior to the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and if Borrower shall fail to do so, Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of Borrower, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. Borrower shall not subordinate or consent to the subordination of the Development Lease to any mortgage, security deed, lease or other interest on or in the landlord’s interest in all or any part of the Property, unless, in each such
‑67 ‑
case, the written consent of Lender shall have been first had and obtained, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld.
5.1.29 Special Purpose Entity. Borrower and any Principal shall at all times comply with the requirements set forth in the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” and shall not take or permit any action that would result in Borrower or any Principal not being in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Section 4.1.30.

(b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall not exercise any rights, make any decisions, grant any approvals or otherwise take any action under any Management Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion, provided that the forgoing restrictions shall not extend to the terms of the Management Agreement with regard to properties having owners separate from Borrower.

‑68 ‑
result of which any such Principal would be dissolved, wound up or liquidated in whole or in part, or (ii) unless required by applicable law, amend, modify, waive or terminate the certificate of limited partnership or partnership agreement of any such Principal, in each case, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender.
5.2.4 Change in Business.

5.2.5 Debt Cancellation. Borrower shall not cancel or otherwise forgive or release any claim or debt (other than termination of Leases in accordance herewith) owed to Borrower by any Person, except for adequate consideration and in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business.
5.2.6 Zoning. Borrower shall not initiate or consent to any zoning reclassification of any portion of the Property or seek any variance under any existing zoning ordinance, or use or permit the use of any portion of the Property in any manner that could result in such use becoming a non‑conforming use under any zoning ordinance or any other applicable land use law, rule or regulation, in each case, without the prior written consent of Lender.
5.2.7 No Joint Assessment. Borrower shall not suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of all or any portion of the Property (a) with any other real property constituting a tax lot separate from the Property, and (b) which constitutes real property with any portion of the Property which may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby the Lien of any taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to the Property.
5.2.8 Principal Place of Business and Organization.

Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall execute and deliver additional financing statements, security agreements and other instruments which may be necessary to effectively evidence or perfect Lender’s security interest in the Property as a result of such change of principal place of business or place of organization.
5.2.9 ERISA. (a) Borrower shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non‑exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA. In the event an inadvertent Prohibited Transaction occurs, Borrower will take all steps necessary to correct the Prohibited Transaction as soon as possible after having actual knowledge of the Prohibited Transaction.

5.2.10 Transfers. (a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and its members, stockholders, general partners, members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners, as applicable, owning and operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Borrower’s ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Other Obligations contained in the Loan Documents, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property.
(b) Without the prior written consent of Lender and except to the extent otherwise set forth in this Section 5.2.10, Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not permit any Restricted Party to, (i) sell, convey, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumber, pledge, assign, grant options with respect to, or otherwise transfer or dispose of (directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether or not for consideration or of record) the Property or any part thereof or any legal or beneficial interest therein, or (ii) permit a Sale or Pledge of any interest, direct or indirect, in any Restricted Party or (iii) incur Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and further provided that this clause (iii) shall not apply to Guarantor) (any of the foregoing transactions, a “Transfer”), other than (A) pursuant to Leases of space in the Improvements to tenants in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1.20 hereof, (B) the Loan Documents, and (C) Permitted Encumbrances.

(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies approved by Lender and authorized to do business in each State where the Property is located and having financial strength ratings of no less than “A-” or better by S&P (each such insurer shall be referred to below as a “Qualified Insurer”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall accept as the insurers for the Property Policy (x) Starr Surplus Lines Insurance Company, rated “AXV” with AM Best, and (y) Ironshore Indemnity Insurance Company, rated “AXIV” with AM Best, for so long as the ratings of such insurers are not withdrawn or downgraded below the respective ratings set forth in the foregoing (x) and (y).

(c) Borrower shall not obtain any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, such Policy is approved in advance in writing by Lender and (x) Lender’s interest is included therein as provided in this Agreement, the Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer and such Policy shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a). In addition Borrower shall not obtain separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required
‑79 ‑
in Section 6.1(a) to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, Borrower.
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured under any Borrower Policy or as additional insureds under any Tenant Policy and Lender (and its affiliates), in either case, as the mortgagee and an additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender (and its affiliates) as mortgagee and loss payee under any Borrower Policy or Borrower as certificate holders and Lender (and its affiliates) as mortgagee under any Tenant Policy.
(e) All Policies provided for in Section 6.1 on which Lender receives the protection of a mortgagee clause or endorsement shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, 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;
(ii) the Policies shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ notice to Lender; and
(iii) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, upon written notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(g) Intentionally omitted.
(h) Lender acknowledges that the insurance in place as of the date hereof, as evidenced by certificates of insurance provided by Borrower and each tenant in connection with the closing of the Loan, shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing requirements of this Section 6.1 as in effect on the date hereof.
Section 6.2 Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall (a) give prompt notice of such damage to Lender if the estimated costs of completing Restoration are equal to or greater than Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00), and (b) promptly commence and diligently prosecute the
‑80 ‑
completion of Restoration so that the damaged Property resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition that the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) 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. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing Restoration are equal to or greater than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding in respect of Condemnation, 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 shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at Borrower’s 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 perform the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Outstanding Principal Balance 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 Obligations. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the applicable Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute Restoration and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award applicable to the Property, 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.
Section 6.4 Restoration. Subject to the terms of the Condominium Documents and the Development Lease, the following provisions shall apply in connection with any Restoration:
(a) If the Net Proceeds for the Property shall be less than ten percent (10%) of the Loan Amount and the costs of completing Restoration shall be less than ten percent (10%) of the Loan Amount, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If the Net Proceeds for the Property are equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) of the Loan Amount, or the costs of completing Restoration is equal to or greater
‑81 ‑
than ten percent (10%) of the Loan Amount, the Net Proceeds will be held by Lender and Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 (a)(i), (iv), (vi), (ix) and (x) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel costs and fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel costs and fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration upon the approval of Lender in its reasonable discretion that the following conditions are met:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than fifteen percent (15%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;
(C) Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than eighty‑five percent (85%) of the total rentable space in the damaged Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases 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 Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be;
(D) Borrower shall commence or cause to be commenced Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion and will make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto at Borrower’s or tenant’s sole cost and expense;
(E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to any the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
‑82 ‑
(F) Lender shall be satisfied that Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases, (3) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii);
(G) The Property and the use thereof after Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(H) Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or related Improvements;
(J) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Property, after giving effect to Restoration, shall be equal to or greater than the Debt Service Coverage Ratio as of the Closing Date;
(K) the Loan to Value Ratio after giving effect to Restoration, shall be equal to or less than the Loan to Value Ratio as of the Closing Date;
(L) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Lender;
(M) the Freeport Lease shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of Restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time period set forth in the Freeport Lease, notwithstanding the occurrences of such Casualty or Condemnation;
(N) the Development Lease shall remain in full force and effect during and after completion of the Restoration notwithstanding the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation; and
(O) the Condominium shall not be terminated and the Condominium Documents shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender for deposit 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 and the Other Obligations.
‑83 ‑
The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with Restoration have been paid for in full, 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 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.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with 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 acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld. Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in 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 acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s reasonable 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 Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until 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 from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that 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 damaged Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of 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 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
‑84 ‑
materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the Title Company issuing the Title Insurance Policy covering the Property, and Lender receives an endorsement to such 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 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 Restoration, Borrower 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 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 and the Other Obligations.
(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 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 Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower within two (2) Business Days thereafter, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required to be made available for Restoration (due to Borrower’s inability to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) or otherwise), or to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii), may be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof toward reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, in the sole discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its sole discretion. No prepayment charge or Yield Maintenance Premium shall be payable by Borrower by reason of a Casualty or Condemnation.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to any Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property (other than to the extent those Policies provide liability coverages to Borrower) 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.
‑85 ‑
(e) The provisions of subsection 4 of Section 254 of the New York Real Property Law covering the insurance of buildings against loss by fire shall not apply to this Agreement. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or ambiguity between the provisions of Section 6.4 of this Agreement and the provisions of subsection 4 of Section 254 of the New York Real Property Law covering the insurance of buildings against loss by fire, the provisions of Section 6.4 of this Agreement shall control.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4 or Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 hereof, to the extent any Lease remains in effect and the tenant thereunder remains liable for the obligations under such Lease, the disposition of any Casualty insurance proceeds and any Award relating to the corresponding Property shall be governed by such Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if immediately after giving effect to the release of the portion of the Property taken through Condemnation, the loan‑to‑value ratio of the remaining Property, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, exceeds 125%, the Outstanding Principal Balance must be paid down by an amount equal to the lesser of the following amounts: (i) the net Award (after payment of Lender’s costs and expenses and any other fees and expenses that have been approved by Lender), or (ii) a “qualified amount” as that term is defined in the IRS Revenue Procedure 2010‑30, as the same may be amended, replaced, supplemented or modified from time to time, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the applicable Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (“REMIC”) trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the lien of the Mortgage. Unless Lender determines that applicable REMIC regulations require a different valuation method, Lender shall determine the loan‑to‑value ratio of the remaining Property by capitalizing Net Operating Income for the Property for such period using a capitalization rate or range of capitalization rates that the Lender has no reason to believe is incorrect. No prepayment charge or Yield Maintenance Premium shall be payable by Borrower by reason of this Section 6.4(f).

7.1.1 Deposits of Development Rent Funds. Borrower shall deposit or cause to be deposited with or on behalf of Lender (a) on the Closing Date, the amount of Seven Thousand One Hundred Ninety Four and No/100 Dollars ($7,194.00) and (b) on each Payment Date, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the annual payment of the Development Rent that will be payable under the Development Lease each November, which amounts shall be transferred by or at the direction of Lender into an Account established to hold such funds (the “Development Rent Subaccount”). Amounts deposited from time to time into the Development Rent Subaccount pursuant to this Section 7.1.1 are referred to herein as the “Development Rent Funds”. Such deposit may be increased from time to time by Lender in such amount as Lender shall deem to be necessary in its reasonable discretion to reflect any increases in the Development Rent.
7.1.2 Release of Development Rent Funds. Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall, or shall direct Servicer to, apply the Development
‑86 ‑
Rent Funds to payments of Development Rent as and when due. In making any payment relating to Development Rent, Lender may do so according to any xxxx or statement given by the lessor without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx or statement or into the validity of any rent, additional rent or other charge thereof. If at any time the amount of the Development Rent Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Development Rent, Lender shall, or shall direct Servicer to, deposit such excess (as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion) into the Cash Management Account to be applied in accordance with Section 2.7.2(b) or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Development Rent Funds, such election to be made by Lender in its sole discretion.
Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow.
7.2.1 Tax Funds and Insurance Funds.
(a) With respect to Policies which Borrower is obligated to maintain hereunder (“Borrower Policies”), as long as blanket Borrower Policies (specifically permitted by this Agreement) are in effect, Borrower shall not be required to make any payments under this Section 7.2 with respect to any Borrower Policies of amounts that would otherwise have been used to pay Insurance Premiums, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.2. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at such time, and from time to time, that any such blanket Borrower Policy (specifically permitted by this Agreement) is not in effect, Borrower shall provide to Lender, prior to the date that any Insurance Premium is delinquent with respect to any Borrower Policy, evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that such Insurance Premium has been paid prior to such delinquency date. If any such proof is not so provided, in addition to any other rights and remedies which Lender may have hereunder, under the other Loan Documents, at law or in equity, Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date one‑twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender shall then reasonably estimate will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by non‑blanket Borrower 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 such non‑blanket Borrower Policies (each a “Monthly Borrower Insurance Payment”) and Lender shall cause such amount to be transferred to a Subaccount (the “Insurance Subaccount”). Amounts deposited from time to time into the Insurance Subaccount pursuant to this Section 7.2.1(a) are referred to herein as the “Insurance Funds”.

(b) Borrower shall deposit or caused to be deposited with Lender on each Payment Date an amount equal to one‑twelfth of the Taxes that Lender shall then reasonably estimate will be payable with respect to the Property during the next ensuing twelve (12) months if the same were to be paid at least thirty (30) days prior to its/their due date(s) (each a “Monthly Tax Payment”). Lender shall cause such amount to be transferred to a Subaccount (the “Tax Subaccount”). Amounts deposited from time to time into the Tax Subaccount pursuant to this
‑87 ‑
Section 7.2.1(b) are referred to herein as the “Tax Funds”. If at any time, Lender reasonably determines that the Tax Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Taxes, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and the monthly deposits for Taxes shall be increased by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due dates for the Taxes; provided that if Borrower receives notice of any deficiency after the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the date that Taxes are due, Borrower will deposit with or on behalf of Lender, such amount within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice.
7.2.2 Disbursements from Tax Funds and Insurance Funds.

If at any time the amount of the Tax Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Lender shall, or shall direct Servicer to, deposit such excess (as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion) into the Cash Management Account to be applied in accordance with Section 2.7.2 or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax Funds, such election to be made by Lender in its sole discretion.

Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date Three Thousand One Hundred Thirteen and No/100 Dollars ($3,113.00) (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”), which amounts shall be deposited with and held by Lender for replacements and repairs that Lender has reasonably estimated, in its sole discretion, will be required to be made at the Property during the calendar year (collectively with the Required Repairs, the “Replacements”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Funds” and the Subaccount in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Subaccount.” Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Subaccount during an Excess Cash Sweep Period upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Borrower if Lender

In addition, Borrower shall pay to Lender for deposit with Lender those additional funds described in Section 7.4.1(b) hereof. All such amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Rollover Reserve Funds" and the Subaccount to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Rollover Reserve Subaccount".

Lender shall make disbursements from the Rollover Reserve Funds for Approved Leasing Expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with Leases (including amendments thereto) entered into in accordance with the terms hereof upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the Reserve Disbursement Conditions with respect to each such disbursement. Lender shall not be required to disburse Rollover Reserve Funds more frequently than once each calendar month, and each disbursement of Rollover Reserve Funds must be in an amount not less than the Minimum Disbursement Amount (or a lesser amount if the total amount of Rollover Reserve Funds is less than the Minimum Disbursement Amount, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made).
7.4.3 Release of Rollover Reserve Funds. For any funds deposited in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount as a Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit, Lender shall release the following amounts to Borrower within five (5) Business Days of the applicable occurrence: (i) if Freeport’s credit ratings shall be not less than the Reduced Cap Credit Ratings, any amounts in excess of the Reduced Rating Sweep Cap (for so long as Freeport’s credit ratings are not less than the Reduced Cap Credit Ratings), (ii) after the occurrence of an Uncapped Rating Sweep, Freeport’s credit ratings shall be the Rating Cap Credit Ratings, any amounts in excess of the Rating Sweep Cap (for so long as Freeport’s credit ratings are not less than the Rating Cap Credit Ratings), or (iii) upon the occurrence of a Rating Sweep Cure, the Applicable Rating Sweep Cap. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if any funds have been deposited into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount pursuant to Section 7.4.1(b) hereof, then the aggregate amount of any such deposits that have not been previously withdrawn pursuant to Section 7.4.2 shall remain in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount (or, if the aggregate amount of any such deposits that have not been previously withdrawn pursuant to Section 7.4.2 is greater than the amount of funds held in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount at such time, then such funds shall not be returned to Borrower). So long as no Event of Default is then continuing, Borrower may request in writing that Lender apply Rollover Reserve Funds for Replacements so long as there are insufficient funds in the Replacement Reserve Subaccount and Lender may, or may direct Servicer to, release such funds for Replacements in Lender’s sole discretion.

Amounts deposited from time to time into the Condominium Common Charge Account pursuant to this Section 7.7.1 are referred to herein as the “Condominium Common Charge Funds”. Such deposit may be increased from time to time by Lender in such amount as Lender shall deem to be necessary in its reasonable discretion to reflect any increases in the Condominium Common Charges.
7.7.2 Release of Condominium Common Charge Funds. Lender shall hold the Initial Common Charge Amount as security for Borrower’s obligation to make all payments of Condominium Common Charges as and when due and payable pursuant to the Condominium Documents. If Borrower shall fail to make any payment of Condominium Common Charges as and when payable, (i) provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall, or shall direct Servicer to, apply the Condominium Common Charge Funds to payments of Condominium Common Charges, and (ii) Lender may thereafter require that Borrower make monthly deposits into the Condominium Common Charge Account and thereafter, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall make all future payments of Condominium Common Charges. In making any payment relating to Condominium Common Charges, Lender may do so according to any xxxx or statement given by the Condominium Association without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx or statement or into the validity of any rent, additional rent or other charge thereof.
Section 7.8 Reserve Funds, Generally.
(a) Borrower grants to Lender a first‑priority perfected security interest in all of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in the Cash Management Account and each Subaccount in which Reserve Funds are held as additional security for payment and performance of the Obligations. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies
‑91 ‑
available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance in any order in its sole discretion. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.
(b) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC‑1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(c) The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account and shall bear interest at a money market rate selected by Lender. All interest or other earnings on any of the Reserve Funds shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Funds and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other amounts comprising such Reserve Funds. Borrower shall, collectively, have the right to direct Lender to invest sums on deposit in the Eligible Account in Permitted Investments provided (i) such investments are then regularly offered by Lender for accounts of this size, category and type, (ii) such investments are permitted by applicable federal, state and local rules, regulations and laws, (iii) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which the applicable Reserve Funds are required for payment of an obligation for which such Reserve Funds were created, and (iv) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest or income earned on the Reserve Funds that is credited or paid to Borrower. No other investments of the Reserve Funds shall be permitted except as set forth in this Section 7.8. Borrower shall bear all reasonable costs associated with the investment of the sums in the account in Permitted Investments. Such costs shall be deducted from the income or earnings on such investment, if any, and to the extent such income or earnings shall not be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by Borrower promptly on demand by Lender. Lender shall have no liability for the rate of return earned or losses incurred on the investment of the sums in Permitted Investments.
(d) Subject to Section 9.4 hereof, Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
(e) Any Reserve Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall be paid to Borrower.

Subject to Section 9.4, any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing and to the fullest extent permitted by law (i) Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Obligations have been paid in full.

‑96 ‑
of the Property, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt.

Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by such Mortgage 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, Mortgage and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and provided that such severance agreement and other documents incorporate the provisions of Section 9.4. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until ten (10) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and (ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

(e) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal amount of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
(f) If an Event of Default exists, Lender may (directly or by its agents, employees, contractors, engineers, architects, nominees, attorneys or other representatives), but without any obligation to do so and without notice to Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, cure the Event of Default in such manner and to such extent as Lender may
‑97 ‑
deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Subject to tenant’s rights under the Leases, Lender (and its agents, employees, contractors, engineers, architects, nominees, attorneys or other representatives) are authorized to enter upon the Property to cure such Event of Default, and Lender is authorized to appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding reasonably necessary to maintain, secure or otherwise protect the Property or the priority of the Lien granted by the Mortgage.
(g) Lender may appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property and may bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender, in its reasonable discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in one or more of the Property.
(h) The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and, subject to Section 9.4, not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

Property in accordance with the parameters (but not the timing) set forth in Section 5.1.11 hereof and the information set forth on Schedule VII attached hereto.
(c) If, at the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, Lender expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower (including any guarantor or other Person that is directly or indirectly committed by contract or otherwise to make payments on all or a part of the Loan) collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and Related Properties collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, the Borrower shall furnish to Lender upon request the following financial information:
(i) if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans, as of the cut‑off date for such Securitization, may equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included in the Securitization, net operating income for the Property and the Related Properties for the most recent fiscal year and interim period as required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB (or, if the Loan is not treated as a non‑recourse loan under Instruction 3 for Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB, selected financial data meeting the requirements and covering the time periods specified in Item 301 of Regulation S‑K and Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB), or
(ii) if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans, as of the cut‑off date for such Securitization, may equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included in the Securitization, the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB (which includes, but may not be limited to, a balance sheet with respect to the entity that Lender determines to be a Significant Obligor for the two most recent Fiscal Years and applicable interim periods, meeting the requirements of Rule 3‑01 of Regulation S‑X, and statements of income and statements of cash flows with respect to the Property for the three most recent Fiscal Years and applicable interim periods, meeting the requirements of Rule 3‑02 of Regulation S‑X (or if Lender determines that the Property is the Significant Obligor and the Property (other than properties that are hotels, nursing homes, or other properties that would be deemed to constitute a business and not real estate under Regulation S‑X or other legal requirements) were acquired from an unaffiliated third party and the other conditions set forth in Rule 3‑14 of Regulation S‑X have been met, the financial statements required by Rule 3‑14 of Regulation S‑X)).
(d) Further, if requested by Lender, Borrower shall, promptly upon Lender’s request, furnish to Lender financial data or financial statements meeting the requirements of Item 1112(b)(1) or (2) of Regulation AB, as specified by Lender, for any tenant of the Property if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects there to be, as of the cut‑off date for such Securitization, a concentration with respect to such tenant or group of Affiliated tenants within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included in the Securitization such that such tenant or group of Affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor. Borrower shall use its reasonable efforts to furnish to Lender, on an ongoing basis, financial data or financial statements with respect to such tenants meeting the requirements of Item 1112(b)(1) or (2) of Regulation AB,
‑99 ‑
as specified by Lender, but only for so long as such entity or entities are a Significant Obligor and either (x) filings pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to the Securitization (an “Exchange Act Filing”) are required to be made under applicable Legal Requirements or (y) comparable information is required to otherwise be “available” to holders of the Securities under Regulation AB or applicable Legal Requirements.
(e) If Lender determines that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and Related Properties collectively, are a Significant Obligor, then Borrower shall furnish to Lender, on an ongoing basis, selected financial data or financial statements meeting the requirements of Item 1112(b)(1) or (2) of Regulation AB, as specified by Lender, but only for so long as such entity or entities are a Significant Obligor and either (x) Exchange Act Filings are required to be made under applicable Legal Requirements or (y) comparable information is required to otherwise be “available” to holders of the Securities under Regulation AB or applicable Legal Requirements.

(g) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following Lender’s request therefor, with any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall reasonably determine to be required pursuant to Regulation S‑K or Regulation S‑X, as applicable, Regulation AB, or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other Legal Requirements relating to a Securitization or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by the Lender.
(h) All financial statements provided by Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.1(c), (d), (e) or (f) shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and shall meet the requirements of Regulation S‑K or Regulation S‑X, as applicable, Regulation AB, and other applicable Legal Requirements, provided that Borrower’s financial statements need not be audited. All other financial statements shall be certified by the chief financial officer of Borrower, which certification shall state that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph.
Subject to Section 9.8(b), all reasonable third‑party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower or Lender in connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by Borrower.

‑100 ‑
have any obligation in connection with any Securitization to use more than commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any financial statements from any tenant of the Property that is not required to be provided under such tenant’s Lease or financial statements for any period prior to Borrower’s acquisition of the Property and Borrower shall not be deemed to be in breach of Section 9.1 if Borrower fails to provide any financial statements from any tenant of the Property that are not in Borrower’s possession at the time of Lender’s request provided that Borrower uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such information.
Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification. (a) Borrower understands that information provided to Lender by Borrower and its agents, counsel and representatives may be included in preliminary and final disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including an offering circular, a prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering document (each, a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, investment banking firms, NRSROs, accounting firms, law firms and other third‑party advisory and service providers relating to the Securitization. Borrower also understands that the findings and conclusions of any third‑party due diligence report obtained by the Lender, the Issuer or the Securitization placement agent or underwriter may be made publicly available if required, and in the manner prescribed, by Section 15E(s)(4)(A) of the Exchange Act and any rules promulgated thereunder.
(b) Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Barclays Bank PLC (whether or not it is Lender), any Affiliate of Barclays Bank PLC that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of Barclays Bank PLC that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Lender shall include its officers and directors) and each Person who controls the Lender within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Lender Group”), the issuer of the Securities (the “Issuer” and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Issuer shall include its officers, director and each Person who controls the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and any placement agent or underwriter with respect to the Securitization, each of their respective officers and directors and each Person who controls the placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, (A) any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the information provided to Lender by Borrower and its agents, counsel and representatives, (B) the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (C) a breach of the representations and warranties made by Borrower in Section 4.1.8 of this Agreement. Borrower also agrees to reimburse Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the
‑101 ‑
Liabilities. Borrower’s liability under this paragraph will be limited to Liability that arises out of, or is based upon, a material untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property. This indemnification provision will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.
(c) In connection with any Exchange Act Filing or other reports containing comparable information that is required to be made “available” to holders of the Securities under Regulation AB or applicable Legal Requirements, Borrower agrees to (i) indemnify Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, an untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property, and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 9.2, such indemnified party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party.

(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.2(b) or (c) is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence or willful misconduct (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence or willful misconduct. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) the Issuer’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
(f) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall not have any obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.

Section 9.6 Servicer. (a) At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the “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 (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer.

If Agent maintains a Note Register then therein it will record the names and addresses of, and wire transfer instructions for, the Lender and any Person subsequently acquiring any direct interest in the Note (each a “Holder”). If it maintains a Note Register, upon the sale or transfer of a direct interest in the Note or portion thereof, (i) the transferring Holder shall inform the Agent in writing that such transfer has taken place and provide the Agent with the name, address, wiring instructions and tax identification number of the transferee and (ii) the Agent will record such information in the Note Register. Any Person in whose name the Note or interest therein is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and Holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement. If Agent maintains a Note Register, no transfer of a direct interest in the Note or portion thereof shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Note Register pursuant to this Section 9.6(b). If Agent maintains a Note Register, the Agent shall promptly provide the names and addresses of the Holder or Holders to any other party hereto or any successor Holder or Holders upon written request and any such Person may, without further investigation, conclusively rely upon such information. The Agent shall have no liability to any Person for the provision of any such names and addresses.

Section 9.8 Restructuring of Loan.
(a) Lender shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to, in connection with, or after any Secondary Market Transaction), with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, to modify, split and/or sever all or any portion of the Loan as hereinafter provided. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender may (i) cause the Note and the Mortgage to be split into a first and second mortgage loan, (ii) create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure), (iii) create multiple components of the Note or Notes (and allocate or reallocate the principal balance of the Loan among such components), (iv) otherwise sever the Loan into two (2) or more loans secured by mortgages and by a pledge of partnership or membership interests (directly or indirectly) in Borrower (i.e., a senior loan/mezzanine loan structure), in each such case described in clauses (i) through (iv) above, in whatever proportion and whatever priority Lender determines, and (v) modify the Loan Documents with respect to the newly created Notes or components of the Note or Notes such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment described above shall (i) modify or amend any material economic term of the Loan, or (ii) materially increase the obligations, or decrease the rights, of Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan Documents; provided, however, in each such instance the outstanding
‑107 ‑
principal balance of all the Notes evidencing the Loan (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all such Notes (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification. If requested by Lender, Borrower (and Borrower’s constituent members, if applicable, and Guarantor) shall execute within ten (10) Business Days after such request, such documentation as Lender may reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate any such modification or severance, provided that such documentation is consistent with the requirements of this paragraph.
(b) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with any such restructuring as set forth in this Section 9.8 or in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, other than Borrower’s legal fees up to $20,000 in the aggregate.

The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Further it is agreed Lender shall not be in default under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Document, unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of Borrower shall have been given to Lender within sixty (60) days after Borrower first had knowledge of the occurrence of the event which Borrower alleges gave rise to such claim and Lender does not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, promptly thereafter.

Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Lockbox Account. It is further acknowledged that to the extent any of the foregoing costs and expenses are incurred by Lender in connection with a restructuring of the Loan pursuant to Sections 9.8(a) and (b) above, then the payment by Borrower of such costs and expenses under this Section 10.13 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.8(c).
(b) Subject to Section 9.4 hereof, Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any material breach by Borrower of its Obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan, or (iii) the indemnity granted by Lender under Paragraph 6 of the Lockbox Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that Borrower is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
(c) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in

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.

Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower 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.
