GENERAL
LOAN TERMS
Section
2.1 The
Loan
. Lender
is making a loan (the “Loan”) to Borrower on the date hereof,
in the original principal amount (the “Principal”) of
$200,000,000 which shall mature on the Stated Maturity Date. Borrower
acknowledges receipt of the Loan, the proceeds of which are being and shall
be
used to (i) acquire the Property, (ii) fund certain of the Subaccounts, and
(iii) pay transaction costs. Any excess proceeds may be used for
any lawful purpose. No amount repaid in respect of the Loan may be
reborrowed.
Section
2.2 Interest;
Monthly Payments
.
2.2.1 Generally. From
and after the date hereof, interest on the unpaid Principal shall accrue
at the
Interest Rate and be payable as hereinafter provided. On the date
hereof, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid Principal from the date
hereof
through and including May 5, 2007. On June 6, 2007 and each Payment
Date thereafter through and including the Maturity Date, the interest on
the
Principal at the Interest Rate shall be payable in monthly installments (each
such installment, the “Monthly Debt Service Payment
Amount”). The Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due on any
Payment Date shall be applied to the payment of interest accrued during the
preceding Interest Period. All accrued and unpaid interest shall be
due and payable on the Maturity Date. If the Loan is repaid on any
date other than on a Payment Date (whether prior to or after the Stated Maturity
Date), Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on such repaid
Principal to but not including the next Payment Date.
2.2.2 Default
Rate. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, the entire unpaid Debt shall bear interest at the Default Rate,
and
shall be payable, to the extent permitted by applicable law, within ten (10)
days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.
2.2.3 Taxes. Any
and all payments by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all
liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Lender’s income,
and franchise and other similar taxes imposed on Lender by the law or regulation
of any Governmental Authority (all such non-
-
16
-
excluded
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities
being
hereinafter referred to in this Section 2.2.3 as “Applicable
Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any
Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender,
the
following shall apply: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as
may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
2.2.3), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions
and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable
law. Payments pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 shall be made
within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand
therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Loan is transferred
to a transferee, assignee or purchaser, which, in each case, is organized
under
the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any
state thereof (a “Foreign Lender”), the transferor shall cause
such Foreign Lender, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer,
to
furnish to the transferor and Borrower either a United States Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN, United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or
United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, including applicable
attachments (in each case, wherein such Foreign Lender claims entitlement
to
complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax on all interest
payments hereunder); provided, however, that in the event that the transferor
fails to cause the Foreign Lender to furnish any such Form or such Foreign
Lender is not entitled to a complete exemption from United States withholding
tax, Borrower shall deduct any Applicable Taxes to the extent required by
law
and payments shall be made net of any Applicable Taxes without regard to
the
provisions of clause (i) of the second sentence of this
Section 2.2.3. In each case, if a specified form is no
longer in use, the delivery obligation specified in this Section 2.2.3
shall apply to the applicable successor form. In addition, each
Foreign Lender, if any, shall deliver such forms within a reasonable period
of
time following the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously
delivered by such Foreign Lender. Each Foreign Lender shall within a
reasonable period of time notify Borrower at any time it determines that
it is
no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or certificate
to Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by a taxing authority
for such purpose).
2.2.4 Breakage
Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify Lender
against any loss or expense which Lender may actually sustain or incur in
liquidating or redeploying deposits from third parties acquired to effect
or
maintain the Loan or any part thereof as a consequence of (i) any payment
or prepayment of the Loan or any portion thereof made on a date other than
a
Payment Date and (ii) any default in payment or prepayment of the Principal
or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable
(at
the date thereof or otherwise, and whether by acceleration or
otherwise). Lender shall deliver to Borrower a statement for any such
sums which it is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.2.4, which
statement shall be binding and conclusive absent manifest
error. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.2.4 are in
addition to Borrower’s obligations to pay any Spread Maintenance Premium
applicable to a payment or prepayment of Principal resulting from an
acceleration of the Loan prior to the Stated Maturity
Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender acknowledges and agrees
that no such breakage costs will be incurred in connection with any payment
or
prepayment of the Loan or any portion thereof made on a date other than a
Payment Date to the extent such payment or prepayment includes interest that
would have accrued on such repaid Principal to but not including the next
Payment Date
-
17
-
2.2.5 New
Payment Date. Lender shall have the right, to be exercised not
more than once during the term of the Loan, to change the Payment Date to
a date
later than the first (1st) day of each month (a “New Payment
Date”), on thirty (30) days’ written notice to Borrower;
provided, however, that any such change in the Payment
Date: (i) shall not modify the amount of regularly scheduled
monthly principal (if any) and interest payments, except that the first payment
of principal (if any) and interest payable on the New Payment Date shall
be
accompanied by interest at the interest rate herein provided for the period
from
the Payment Date in the month in which the New Payment Date first occurs
to the
New Payment Date and (ii) shall extend the Stated Maturity Date to the New
Payment Date occurring in the month set forth in the definition of Stated
Maturity Date.
Section
2.3 Loan
Repayment
.
2.3.1 Repayment. Borrower
shall repay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note in full
on the
Maturity Date, together with interest thereon to (but excluding) the date
of
repayment and any other amounts due and owing under the Loan
Documents. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all
proceeds of any repayment, including any prepayments of the Loan, shall be
applied by Lender as follows in the following order of
priority: First, accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest
Rate; second, to Principal; and third, to and any other
amounts then due and owing under the Loan Documents. If the Debt is
accelerated by reason of an Event of Default, then Lender shall be entitled
to
receive, in addition to the unpaid Principal and accrued interest and other
sums
due under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the Spread Maintenance Premium,
if any, applicable to such Principal so accelerated. During the
continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment, including
any
payment or recovery on the Property (whether through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu
of foreclosure, or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise provided in the Loan
Documents, be applied in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect
in
Lender’s discretion.
2.3.2 Mandatory
Prepayments. The Loan is subject to mandatory prepayment in
certain instances of Insured Casualty or Condemnation (each, a
“Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”), in the manner and to the
extent set forth in Section 7.4.2 hereof. Each
Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment, after deducting Lender’s costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with the
settlement or collection of the Proceeds or Award, shall be applied in the
same
manner as repayments under Section 2.3.1 above, and if such
Casualty/Condemnation Payment is made on any date other than a Payment Date,
then such Casualty/Condemnation Payment shall include interest that would
have
accrued on the Principal prepaid to but not including the next Payment
Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each
Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall be applied in inverse order of maturity
and shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the monthly installments
due
under the Note or this Agreement.
2.3.3 Intentionally
Omitted
.
-
18
-
2.3.4 Optional
Prepayments
(a) . Provided
no Event of Default shall be continuing, Borrower shall have the right to
prepay
the Principal in whole but not in part, provided that Borrower gives Lender
at
least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice thereof. If any such
prepayment is not made on a Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay interest
that
would have accrued on such prepaid Principal to, but not including, the next
Payment Date.
2.3.5 Prepayments
After Default. If after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the principal of the
Loan
is tendered by Borrower, a purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person,
such
tender shall be deemed an attempt to circumvent the prohibition against
prepayment set forth in Section 2.3.1 hereof and Borrower, such purchaser
at foreclosure or other Person shall pay the Spread Maintenance Premium,
in
addition to the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest
and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.
Section
2.4 Release
of Property on Payment in Full
.
Lender
shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment
in
full of the Debt in accordance herewith, release or, if requested by Borrower,

without any recourse against Lender whatsoever), the Lien of the Loan Documents
if not theretofore released.
Section
2.5 Payments
and Computations
.
2.5.1 Making
of Payments. Each payment by Borrower shall be made in funds
settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or
other
funds immediately available to Lender by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the
date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender
may
designate by written notice to Borrower. Whenever any such payment
shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment
shall be made on the first Business Day thereafter. All such payments
shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction, set-off or
counterclaim whatsoever and are payable without relief from valuation and
appraisement laws and with all costs and charges incurred in the collection
or
enforcement thereof, including attorneys’ fees and court costs.
2.5.2 Computations. Interest
payable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.
2.5.3 Late
Payment Charge. If any Principal, interest or other sum due under
any Loan Document is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due,
Borrower shall pay to Lender (within ten (10) days after the date Lender
makes
written demand therefor) an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%)
of
such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (the
“Late Payment Charge”), in order to defray the expense incurred
by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate
Lender for the
-

the use of such delinquent payment. Such amount shall be secured by
the Loan Documents.

creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding in equity or at law).
(4) In
the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of
the
issuer of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement below “AA-” by S&P or Fitch
and “Aa3” by Xxxxx’x, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Protection

than the Extended Maturity Date, or (ii) enters into a new interest rate
protection agreement which expires no earlier than the Extended Maturity
Date,
and which extension or new agreement is in respect of a notional amount of
the
then outstanding Principal and is otherwise on the same terms set forth in
Section 2.6.1 hereof and has the effect of capping LIBOR at 6.50%
per annum; and
(iv) On
the originally scheduled Stated Maturity Date, the Debt Service Coverage

estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order
to
accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty
(30) days prior to their Delinquency Date, and (ii) (1) for so long as
the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement remains in
full
force and effect, on each Payment Date, the Financing Installment for the
next
occurring payment under the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing
Arrangement and/or (2) with respect to any Insurance Premiums not covered
by a Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, on each Payment Date,
one-twelfth (1/12th) of
the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal

the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order
to
accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums
at
least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts

(i) and (ii) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Impound
Funds”). Such amounts will be transferred by Lender to a
Subaccount (the “Tax and Insurance
Subaccount”). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance
Impound Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be
made by
Borrower pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof and Section 7.1 hereof
and/or to payments due to the applicable finance company under the applicable
Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, as applicable. In
making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Impound Funds, Lender
may
do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate
public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to
Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement
or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture,
tax
lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and
Insurance Impound Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance
Premiums pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof and Section 7.1 hereof,
Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit
such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Impound
Funds. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the person
shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If at
any time Lender determines that the Tax and Insurance Impound Funds is not
or
will not be sufficient to pay the items set forth in (i) and (ii) above,
Lender
shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its
monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient
to
make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of
the
Taxes and/or expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. All
earnings of interest on the Tax and Insurance Impound Funds shall become
part of
the Tax and Insurance Impound Funds and shall be disbursed in accordance
with
this Section 3.3. If Lender so elects at any time, Borrower
shall provide, at Borrower’s expense, a tax service contract for the Term issued
by a tax reporting agency acceptable to Lender. If Lender does not so
elect, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the cost of making annual tax
searches throughout the Term.
Section
3.4 Capital
Expense Reserves
. Borrower
shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date an amount initially equal to $7,478
(one-twelfth (1/12th) of
the product obtained by multiplying $0.20 by the aggregate number of rentable
square feet of space in the Property). Lender will transfer such
amount into a Subaccount (the “Capital Reserve
Subaccount”). Additionally, upon thirty (30) days’ prior
notice to Borrower, Lender may reassess the amount of the monthly payment
required under this Section 3.4 from time to time in its reasonable
discretion (based upon its then current underwriting
standards). Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, Lender
shall disburse funds held in the Capital Reserve Subaccount to Borrower,
within
fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrower to
-
24
-
Lender
of
a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments
of at
least $5,000 provided that (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Capital
Expense; (ii) with respect to disbursements in excess of $100,000, Lender
shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at Borrower’s
expense) performance of the work associated with such Approved Capital Expense;
and (iii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an
Officer’s Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will be used to pay or
reimburse Borrower for Approved Capital Expenses and a description thereof,
(2) that all outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from
the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted
Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (3) that the same has not been
the subject of a previous disbursement, and (4) that all previous
disbursements have been used to pay the previously identified Approved Capital
Expenses, and (B) lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to
Lender, (C) at Lender’s option, a title search for the Property indicating that
the Property is free from all Liens, claims and other encumbrances not
previously approved by Lender and (D) such other evidence as Lender shall
reasonably request that the Approved Capital Expenses at the Property to
be
funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for
or
will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Any such
disbursement of more than $100,000 to pay (rather than reimburse) Approved
Capital Expenses may, at Lender’s option, be made by joint check payable to
Borrower and the payee on such Approved Capital Expenses.

3.5 Rollover
Reserve
. Borrower
shall pay to Lender $13,880,000 on the date hereof (the “Initial
Rollover Deposit”), and Lender shall transfer such funds into a
Subaccount (the “Rollover Reserve
Subaccount”). Borrower shall also pay to Lender (for deposit
into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount) all Lease Termination Payments received
by
Borrower with respect to Material Leases; provided, however, once
Borrower has provided to Lender evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender
that
the space under the Lease that was the subject of such Lease Termination
Payment
has been re-tenanted and all Approved Leasing Expenses in connection with
such
space have been paid, Lender shall (provided no Event of Default is then
continuing) disburse to Borrower any remaining portion of the subject Lease
Termination Payment. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Rollover Reserve
Subaccount to Borrower, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrower
to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month),
in
increments of at least $5,000, provided (i) such disbursement is for an
Approved Leasing Expense; (ii) with respect to disbursements in excess of
$100,000, Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted
at Borrower’s expense) performance of any construction work associated with such
an Approved Leasing Expense; and (iii) the request for disbursement is
accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying (1) that such
funds will be used only to pay (or reimburse Borrower for) an Approved Leasing
Expense, and a description thereof, (2) that all outstanding trade payables
(other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those
constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (3) that the
same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (4) that all
previous disbursements have been used only to pay (or reimburse Borrower
for)
the previously identified Approved Leasing Expenses, and (B) reasonably
detailed supporting documentation as to the amount, necessity and purpose
therefor. Any such disbursement of more than $100,000 to pay (rather
than reimburse) Approved Leasing Expenses may, at Lender’s option, be made by
joint check payable to
-
25
-
Borrower
and the payee of such Approved Leasing Expenses. On the date on which
Lender has determined that the Property has achieved a Debt Service Coverage
Ratio of at least 1.10:1 for two (2) consecutive Calculation Dates, provided
no
Default or Event of Default is then continuing, an amount equal to the lesser
of
(x) $6,600,000 and (y) the funds then remaining in the Rollover Reserve
Subaccount (other than funds constituting Lease Termination Payments) not
previously disbursed or applied shall be released to
Borrower. In calculating the Debt Service Coverage Ratio solely
for purposes of determining whether or not funds may be released from the
Rollover Reserve Subaccount as contemplated by the preceding sentence, the
Net
Operating Income component of such calculation shall be computed without
taking
into account the rent payable under the Master Lease.
Section
3.6 Casualty/Condemnation
Subaccount
. Borrower
shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Lender all Proceeds or Awards due to any
Casualty or Condemnation to be transferred to a Subaccount (the
“Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount”) in accordance with the
provisions of Article 7 hereof. All amounts in the
Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount shall be disbursed in accordance with the
provisions of Article 7 hereof.
Section
3.7 Security
Deposits
. Borrower
shall keep all security deposits actually paid to Borrower under Leases at
a
separately designated account under Borrower’s control at the Clearing Bank (and
in the case of a letter of credit received after the date hereof, assigned
with
full power of attorney and executed sight drafts to Lender) so that the security
deposits shall not be commingled with any other funds of Borrower (such account,
the “Security Deposit Account”). After the
occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, Borrower shall, upon
Lender’s request, if permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, turn over to
Lender the security deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon)
under
Leases, to be held by Lender in a Subaccount (the “Security Deposit
Subaccount”) subject to the terms of the Leases. Security
deposits held in the Security Deposit Subaccount will be released by Lender
upon
notice from Borrower together with such evidence as Lender may reasonably
request that such security deposit is required to be returned to a tenant
pursuant to the terms of a Lease or may be applied as Rent pursuant to the
rights of Borrower under the applicable Lease. Any letter of credit
or other instrument that Borrower receives in lieu of a cash security deposit
under any Lease entered into after the date hereof shall (i) be maintained
in full force and effect in the full amount required by the applicable Lease
unless replaced by a cash deposit as hereinabove described and (ii) if
permitted pursuant to any Legal Requirements, name Lender as payee or mortgagee
thereunder (or at Lender’s option, be fully assignable to Lender).
Section
3.8 Cash
Collateral Subaccount
. If
a Cash Management Period shall have commenced, then on the immediately
succeeding Payment Date and on each Payment Date thereafter during the
continuance of such Cash Management Period, all Available Cash shall be paid
to
Lender, which amounts shall be transferred by Lender into a Subaccount (the
“Cash Collateral Subaccount”) as cash collateral for the
Debt. Any funds in the Cash Collateral Account and not previously
disbursed or applied
-
26
-
shall
be
disbursed to Borrower upon the termination of such Cash Management
Period. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any
time during the continuance of an Event of Default, in its sole and absolute
discretion to apply all sums then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Subaccount
to the Debt, in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in its
sole
and absolute discretion, including to make a prepayment of Principal (together
which the applicable Spread Maintenance Premium applicable
thereto).
Section
3.9 Intentionally
Omitted
.
Section
3.10 Grant
of Security Interest; Application of Funds
. As
security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other
terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges
and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all
Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Clearing Account, the Deposit
Account and all Subaccounts, all Rents and in and to all payments to or monies
held in the Clearing Account, the Deposit Account, and all Subaccounts created
pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Cash Management
Accounts”). Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing
security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of Lender,
all
Rents in its possession prior to the (i) payment of such Rents to Lender or
(ii) deposit of such Rents into the Deposit Account until such Rents are
released to Borrower from the Clearing Account pursuant to this Agreement
and
the Cash Management Agreement. Borrower shall not, without obtaining
the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any
security interest in any Cash Management Account, or permit any Lien to attach
thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements,
except
those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect
thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the
parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may
apply
any sums in any Cash Management Account in any order and in any manner as
Lender
shall elect in Lender’s discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver
and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien
of
the Mortgage or exercise its other rights under the Loan
Documents. Cash Management Accounts shall not constitute trust funds
and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Provided no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the direction of Borrower,
Lender shall deposit the amounts held in the Cash Management Accounts in
Permitted Investments selected by Borrower. All investment earnings
which accrues on the funds in any Cash Management Account shall accrue for
the
benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to Borrower and shall be added to
and
disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal
sum
on which said interest accrued. Lender shall not be responsible for
any losses resulting from the investment of the Funds or for obtaining any
specific level or percentage of earnings on such investment. Upon
repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the Cash Management
Accounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower.
Section
3.11 Property
Cash Flow Allocation
-
27
-
.
(a) During
any Cash Management Period, all Rents deposited into the Deposit Account
during
the immediately preceding Interest Period shall be applied on each Payment
Date
as follows in the following order of
priority: (i) First, to make payments into the Tax and
Insurance Subaccount as required under Section 3.3 hereof;
(ii) Second, [intentionally omitted]; (iii)
Third, to pay the monthly portion of the fees charged by the
Deposit Bank in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement;
(iv) Fourth, to Lender to pay the Monthly Debt Service Payment
Amount due on such Payment Date (plus, if applicable, interest at the Default
Rate and all other amounts, other than those described under other clauses
of
this Section 3.11(a), then due to Lender under the Loan Documents);
(v) Fifth, to make payments into the Capital Reserve Subaccount
if, and as, required under Section 3.4 hereof; (vi) Sixth,
to make payments into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount if, and as, required
under
Section 3.5 hereof; (vii) Seventh, to Borrower the
monthly amount set forth in the Approved Budget for the following month as
being
necessary for payment of Approved Operating Expenses at the Property for
such
month, plus the amount for Budget Variances (as defined in the Cash Management
Agreement); (viii) Eighth, after the consummation of a
Securitization, to pay the pro rata portion of the expenses described in
Section 9.1.4 hereof; and (ix) Lastly, to make payments in
an amount equal to all remaining Available Cash on such Payment Date into
the
Cash Collateral Subaccount in accordance with Section 3.8
hereof.
(b) The
failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under clauses (i)
through (ix) of Section 3.11(a) above in full on each Payment Date shall
constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement; provided,
however, if adequate funds are available in the Deposit Account
for such
payments, the failure by the Deposit Bank to allocate such funds into the
appropriate Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of Default.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.11, after the
occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, Lender may
apply
all Rents deposited into the Deposit Account and other proceeds of repayment
in
such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect. .
ARTICLE
4
REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES
Borrower
represents and warrants to Lender as of the date hereof that, except to the
extent (if any) disclosed on Schedule 2 hereto with reference to a
specific Section of this Article 4:
Section
4.1 Organization;
Special Purpose
. Borrower
has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under
the
laws of the state of its formation, with requisite power and authority, and
all
rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise,
necessary to own its properties and to transact the business in which it
is now
engaged. Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good
-
28
-
standing
in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection
with
its properties, business and operations. Borrower is a Special
Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.
Section
4.2 Authorization;
Valid Execution and Delivery; Enforceability
. Borrower
has taken all necessary actions for the authorization of the borrowing on
account of the Loan and for the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents,
including, without limitation, that those members of Borrower whose approval
is
required by the terms of Borrower’s organizational documents have duly approved
the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and have authorized
execution and delivery thereof by the respective signatories. To the
best of Borrower’s knowledge, no other consent by any local, state or federal
agency is required in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents. All of the Loan Documents requiring execution by Borrower
have been duly and validly executed and delivered by Borrower. All of the
Loan
Documents constitute valid, legal and binding obligations of Borrower and
are
fully enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their terms by Lender
and
its successors, transferees and assigns, subject only to bankruptcy laws,
and
general principles of equity, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
moratorium, receivership or other similar laws relating to or affecting the
rights of creditors. All consents, approvals, authorizations, orders
or filings with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required
for
the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower
have
been obtained or made.
Section
4.3 No
Conflict/Violation of Law
. The
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower will
not
cause or constitute a default under or conflict with the organizational
documents of Borrower, Guarantor or any general partner or managing member
of
Borrower or Guarantor. The execution, delivery and performance of the
obligations imposed on Borrower under the Loan Documents will not cause Borrower
to be in default, including after due notice or lapse of time or both, under
the
provisions of any agreement, judgment or order to which Borrower is a party
or
by which Borrower is bound.
Section
4.4 No
Litigation
. Except
as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 2 hereto, to the best of Borrower’s
knowledge there are no pending actions, suits or proceedings, arbitrations
or
governmental investigations against the Property, an adverse outcome of which
would materially affect Borrower’s performance under the Note, this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents.
Section
4.5 No
Defenses
. The
Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are not subject
to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, nor would the
operation of any of the terms of the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or
any
of the other Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render
this Agreement or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject
to
any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the
defense
of usury.
-
29
-
Section
4.6 Title
. Borrower
has good and marketable fee simple title to the Property constituting real
property (other than the beneficial interests), and good title to the Equipment,
subject to no liens, charges or encumbrances other than the Permitted
Encumbrances and liens, charges or encumbrances otherwise expressly permitted
by
the Loan Documents. The possession of the Property has been peaceful
and undisturbed and title thereto has not been disputed or questioned to
the
best of Borrower’s knowledge. The Permitted Encumbrances do not and
will not materially and adversely affect (1) the ability of Borrower to pay
in full the principal and interest on the Note in a timely manner or
(2) the use of the Property for the use currently being made thereof, the
operation of the Property as currently being operated or the value of the
Property. Upon the execution by Borrower and the recording of the
Mortgage, and upon the filing of UCC-1 financing statements or amendments
thereto, the Lender will have a valid first lien on the Property and a valid
security interest in the Equipment subject to no liens, charges or encumbrances
other than the Permitted Encumbrances and liens, charges or encumbrances
otherwise expressly permitted by the Loan Documents.
Section
4.7 No
Insolvency or Judgment; No Bankruptcy Filing
. Neither
Borrower, nor any general partner or member of Borrower, nor Guarantor of
the
Loan is currently (a) the subject of or a party to any completed or pending
bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding; or (b) the subject of
any
judgment unsatisfied of record or docketed in any court of the state in which
the Property is located or in any other court located in the United
States. The Loan will not render Borrower nor any general partner or
member of Borrower Insolvent. As used herein, the term
“Insolvent” means that the sum total of all of an entity’s
liabilities (whether secured or unsecured, contingent or fixed, or liquidated
or
unliquidated) is in excess of the value of all such entity’s non-exempt assets,
i.e., all of the assets of the entity that are available to satisfy claims
of
creditors. Borrower is not contemplating either the filing of a
petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law or
the
liquidation of all or a major portion of its property (a “Bankruptcy
Proceeding”), and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating
the filing of any such petition against it. In addition, except as
described on Schedule 2 attached hereto, neither Borrower nor any
principal nor Affiliate of Borrower has been a party to, or the subject of
a
Bankruptcy Proceeding for the past ten (10) years.
Section
4.8 Misstatements
of Fact
. No
statement of fact made in the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement
of a
material fact or omits to state any material fact known to Borrower or its
Affiliates necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not
misleading. There is no fact presently known to Borrower which has
not been disclosed which materially adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower
can reasonably foresee, might materially adversely affect the business,
operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
Section
4.9 Tax
Filings
-
30
-
. To
the extent required, Borrower has filed (or has obtained effective extensions
for filing) all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed
and,
except as otherwise disclosed to Lender in writing, has paid or made adequate
provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges
and
assessments payable by Borrower pursuant to such returns or any notice of
assessment received by Borrower. Borrower believes that its tax
returns (if any) properly reflect the income and taxes of Borrower for the
periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required
by the
Internal Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon
audit. Borrower does not have any knowledge of any basis for
additional assessment with respect to such taxes other than a possible
reassessment of the Property for real estate tax purposes resulting from
transactions occurring in connection with the acquisition of the Property
on or
prior to the date hereof.
Section
4.10 ERISA
. As
of the date hereof and throughout the Term (i) Borrower is not and will not
be
an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is
subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) 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 (as modified by Section 3(42)
of ERISA), (iii) Borrower is not and will not be a “governmental plan”
within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (iv) transactions by
or with Borrower are not and will not be subject to state statutes regulating
investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental
plans. As of the date hereof, neither Borrower, nor any member of the
“controlled group of corporations” (within the meaning of Section 414 of the
Code) that includes Borrower maintains, sponsors or contributes to a “defined
benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(35) of ERISA) or a “multiemployer
pension plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(37)(A) of ERISA).
Section
4.11 Compliance
with Applicable Laws and Regulations
. To
Borrower’s knowledge, except as set forth in the engineering reports obtained
and submitted to Lender in connection with the Loan and the Phase I Report,
all
of the Improvements and the use of the Property comply in all material respects
with, and shall remain in compliance in all material respects with, all
applicable statutes, rules, regulations and private covenants now or hereafter
relating to the ownership, construction, use or operation of the Property,
including all applicable Prescribed Laws and all applicable statutes, rules
and
regulations pertaining to requirements for equal opportunity,
anti-discrimination, fair housing, environmental protection, zoning and land
use
and the Improvements comply in all material respects with, and shall remain
in
compliance in all material respects with, applicable health, fire and building
codes. Borrower is not aware of any illegal activities relating to
controlled substances on the Property. To Borrower’s knowledge, all
certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including, without limitation,
certificates of completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use,
occupancy and operation of the Property as an office building (collectively,
the
“Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and
effect. To Borrower’s knowledge, all of the Improvements comply with
all material requirements of any applicable zoning and subdivision laws and
ordinances. To Borrower’s knowledge, in the event that all or any
part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can
be
legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction,
and thereafter exist for the same use without
-
31
-
violating
any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity
of
obtaining any variances or special permits. No legal proceedings are
pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the
zoning
of the Property. To Borrower’s knowledge, neither the zoning nor any
other right to construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent
upon or related to any property other than the Property, except as set forth
in
the Operating Agreements for the benefit of the Property. The use
being made of the Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy
issued for the Property and, to Borrower’s knowledge, all other restrictions,
covenants and conditions affecting the Property.
Section
4.12 Contracts
. Except
as set forth on Schedule 2 hereto, to Borrower’s knowledge there are no
service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property that are
not
terminable on one (1) month’s notice or less without cause and without penalty
or premium. All service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting
the Property entered into by Borrower have been entered into at arms-length
in
the ordinary course of Borrower’s business and provide for the payment of fees
in amounts and upon terms comparable to existing market rates.
Section
4.13 Federal
Reserve Regulations; Investment Company Act
. 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 that would
be
inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other regulation of such Board
of
Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Legal Requirements or any Loan
Document. Borrower is not (i) an “investment company” or a
company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii) a “holding company” or a
“subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of either a
“holding company” or a “subsidiary company” within the meaning of the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or (iii) subject to any
other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate
its ability to borrow money.
Section
4.14 Access/Utilities
. To
Borrower’s best knowledge, the Property has adequate rights of access to public
ways and is served by adequate water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain
facilities. Other than as disclosed on the Survey (as hereinafter
defined), all public utilities necessary to the continued use and enjoyment
of
the Property as presently used and enjoyed are located in the public
right-of-way abutting the Property, and all such utilities are connected
so as
to serve the Property without passing over other property. All roads
necessary for the full utilization of the Property for its current purpose
have
been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental
Authorities or are the subject of access easements for the benefit of the
Property.
Section
4.15 Condition
of Improvements
. To
Borrower’s knowledge, except as may be expressly disclosed in the engineering
reports obtained and submitted to Lender, the Property, including all
Improvements, parking facilities, systems, Equipment and landscaping, are
in
good condition, order and repair in all material
-
32
-
respects;
and there exists no structural or other material defect or damages to the
Property, whether latent or otherwise. Borrower has not received
notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defect or inadequacy
in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect its
insurability or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges
thereon or any termination of any policy of insurance or bond. No
portion of the Property is located in an area as identified by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood
hazards. The Property has not been damaged by fire, water, wind or
other cause of loss which has not been fully restored in all material
respects.
Section
4.16 Leases
. To
Borrower’s best knowledge the rent roll attached hereto as Schedule 3
together with the schedules and the exhibits attached to such rent roll
(collectively, the “Rent Roll”) is true, complete and correct
and the Property is not subject to any Leases other than the Leases described
in
the Rent Roll and those additional Leases (if any) on Schedule 2 attached
hereto and any existing subleases thereunder and the Master Lease. To
Borrower’s best knowledge 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 (and any existing subleases thereunder) and the Master
Lease. As of the date hereof (i) Borrower is the owner and
holder of the landlord’s interest under each Lease; (ii) there are no prior
assignments of the landlord’s interest by Borrower (and to Borrower’s knowledge
any prior landlord) in any Lease or any portion of Rents which are presently
outstanding and have priority over the Assignment of Leases and Rents;
(iii) true and correct copies of the Leases have been delivered by Borrower
to Lender or made available to Lender and, to Borrower’s knowledge, the Leases
have not been further modified or amended, except as disclosed to Lender
in
writing on or prior to the date hereof; (iv) to Borrower’s best knowledge,
each Lease is in full force and effect; (v) to Borrower’s best knowledge,
except as disclosed on the Rent Roll or in any tenant estoppels delivered
to
Lender in connection with the Loan (collectively, the “Tenant
Estoppels”), neither Borrower nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, any tenant
under any Lease is in default under any of the material terms, covenants
or
provisions of the Lease, and, except as disclosed to Lender in writing or
in any
Tenant Estoppels, Borrower knows of no event which, but for the passage of
time
or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default under
any
Lease; (vi) to Borrower’s best knowledge, except as expressly set forth in
the Leases, the Tenant Estoppels or on the Rent Roll, there are no offsets
or
defenses to the payment of any portion of the Rents; and (vii) to
Borrower’s best knowledge, except as disclosed on the Rent Roll or in any Tenant
Estoppel, all Rents due and payable under each Lease have been paid in full
and,
except for estimated payments of operating expenses and taxes made by tenants
in
accordance with their Leases, no Rents have been paid more than one (1) month
in
advance of the due dates thereof.
Section
4.17 Fraudulent
Transfer
. Borrower
(1) has not entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual
intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor and (2) received
reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan
Documents. Giving effect to the Loan contemplated by the Loan
Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceed and will,
immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed
Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated,
unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. The
-
33
-
fair
market value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, be greater than Borrower’s
probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities
or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s
assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the
Loan
Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its
business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does
not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities
(including, without limitation, contingent liabilities and other commitments)
beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account
the
timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of
Borrower).
Section
4.18 Ownership
of Borrower
. The
sole member of Borrower will be Xxxxxxx Properties Holdings IV, LLC, whose
sole
member is Xxxxxxx Properties Holdings III, LLC, whose sole member is the
OP,
whose sole general partner is the REIT. The membership interests in
Borrower are owned free and clear of all Liens, warrants, options and rights
to
purchase. Borrower does not have any obligation to any Person to
purchase, repurchase or issue any ownership interest in it. The
organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule 4 is complete and
accurate and illustrates all Persons who have a direct ownership interest
in
Borrower and the OP.
Section
4.19 No
Purchase Options
. To
Borrower’s best knowledge, no tenant, person, party, firm, corporation or other
entity has an option to purchase the Property, any portion thereof or any
interest therein other than options, rights of first refusal and similar
rights
to lease space in the Improvements granted to a tenant pursuant to its
respective Lease or in another writing otherwise delivered to Lender and
other
than rights of first refusal contained in operating agreements of members
of
Borrower in favor of members of the members of Borrower in the event of a
sale
of the Property by Borrower.
Section
4.20 Management
Agreement
. The
Management Agreement is in full force and effect and there is no default
or
violation by any party thereunder. The fee due under the Management
Agreement, and the terms and provisions of the Management Agreement, are
subordinate to the Mortgage and Manager agrees to attorn to Lender pursuant
to
and in accordance with that certain Assignment and Subordination of Management
Agreement dated of even date herewith by and among Borrower, Manager and
Lender.
Section
4.21 Hazardous

unreasonably withheld or delayed, to any alterations to the Improvements,
the
cost of which is reasonably anticipated to exceed $3,500,000 (the

on Borrower’s financial condition, the use, operation or value of the Property
or the Net Operating Income with respect to the Property, other than
(a) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms of any Existing
Lease, (b) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms and
provisions of a Lease executed after the date hereof and not adversely affecting

Lender of the plans, specifications or working drawings for alterations of

laws. Lender may condition any such approval upon receipt of a
certificate of compliance with applicable laws from an independent architect,
engineer, or other Person reasonably acceptable to Lender. If the

Improvements (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants
under
the Leases or paid from accounts established hereunder or Excluded Costs)

to which the applicable Rating Agencies have delivered a Rating Comfort Letter
(if required pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement from and after
the
occurrence of a Securitization), or (4) a Letter of Credit. Such
security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts
with respect to
-
41
-
alterations
to the Improvements (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by
tenants
under the Leases or from accounts established hereunder or Excluded Costs)
over
the Threshold Amount. Upon completion of the alterations to the
satisfaction of Lender in its reasonable discretion Lender shall promptly
return
to Borrower such additional security.

condition on the Property which shall pose a threat to the health, safety
or

Lender
in the case of removal or remediation which is not required by law, but in
response to the opinion of a licensed hydrogeologist, licensed environmental

Consultant”) provided that such removal, remediation or cure is
reasonably necessary to eliminate imminent danger to the health, safety or
welfare of humans and would customarily be performed by prudent owners of
-
42
-
properties
similar to the Property in similar circumstances), promptly after Borrower
becomes aware of same, at Borrower’s sole expense, without prejudice to any
rights Borrower may have against any responsible
parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
5.8.1, Borrower, Manager and/or tenants on the Property may use and store
ordinary amounts of Hazardous Substances at the Property if such use or storage
is in connection with business supplies used by Borrower, a tenant in accordance
with the terms of its Lease or by Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement
or is in connection with the ordinary cleaning and maintenance of the Property
so long as such use and storage (A) does not violate any applicable
Environmental Laws and (B) is not the subject of any specific
recommendations in the Environmental Reports that would prohibit such use
or
storage. Nothing herein shall prevent Borrower from recovering such
expenses from any other party that may be liable for such removal or
cure. The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this
Section 5.8.1 shall survive any termination, satisfaction, or assignment
of the Mortgage and the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies
hereunder, including, without limitation, the acquisition of the Property
by
foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure; provided that such
obligations and liabilities of Borrower shall not survive after the date
Lender
or its Affiliates take title to the Property pursuant to foreclosure or a
conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.

represents and warrants that, to Borrower’s knowledge, no asbestos or any
substance or material containing asbestos (collectively,
“Asbestos”) is located on the Property except as may have been
disclosed in the Environmental Reports delivered to Lender in connection
with
the Loan. Borrower shall not install in the Property, nor permit to
be installed in the Property, Asbestos and shall remove any Asbestos to the
extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, at Borrower’s sole
expense. Borrower shall in all instances comply with, and ensure
compliance by all occupants of the Property with, all applicable federal,
state
and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations with respect to Asbestos
and
shall keep the Property free and clear of any liens imposed pursuant to such
laws, ordinances, rules or regulations. In the event that Borrower
receives any notice or advice from any governmental agency or any source
whatsoever with respect to Asbestos on, affecting or installed on the Property,
Borrower shall promptly notify Lender.
5.8.3 Environmental
Monitoring. Except to the extent already disclosed in the

the presence of any Hazardous Substance or Asbestos on, under, from or about

Property, (b) all claims made or threatened by any third party against
Borrower or the Property relating to any loss or injury resulting from any
Hazardous Substance or Asbestos, and (c) Borrower’s discovery of any
occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity
of the
Property that could reasonably be expected to cause the Property to be subject
to any investigation or cleanup pursuant to any Environmental
Law. Upon becoming aware of the presence of mold or fungus at the
Property, Borrower shall (a) undertake an investigation to identify the
source(s) of such mold or fungus and shall develop and implement an appropriate
remediation plan to eliminate the presence of any Toxic Mold, (b) perform
or
cause to be performed all acts reasonably necessary for the remediation of
any
Toxic Mold (including taking any action necessary to clean and disinfect
any
portions of the Property affected by Toxic Mold, including providing any
necessary moisture control systems at the Property), and (c) provide evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Lender of the foregoing. Borrower shall
permit Lender to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects,
-
43
-
any
legal
proceedings or actions initiated with respect to the Property in connection
with
any actual or alleged violation of Environmental Law or the presence of
Hazardous Substance at the Property, and Borrower shall pay all reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Lender in connection
therewith. Upon Lender’s request, at any time and from time to time
while the Loan is outstanding but not more frequently than once per calendar
year, unless Lender has determined (in the exercise of its good faith judgment)
that reasonable cause exists for the performance of an environmental inspection
or audit of the Property, Borrower shall provide at Borrower’s sole expense,
(i) an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by a licensed
hydrogeologist or licensed environmental engineer approved by Lender indicating
the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances on, in or near the Property,
and
(ii) an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by a duly qualified
engineering or consulting firm approved by Lender, indicating the presence
or
absence of Asbestos on the Property; provided, however, any such
inspection or audit requested by Lender, during the Term, in excess of one
(1) inspection during each three (3) year period commencing upon the date
hereof, shall be performed at Lender’s expense unless an Event of Default exists
or Lender has determined (in the exercise of its good faith judgment) that
reasonable cause exists for the performance of an environmental inspection
or
audit. If Borrower fails to provide such inspection or audit within
sixty (60) days after such request Lender may order same, and Borrower hereby
grants to Lender and its employees and agents access to the Property and
a
license to undertake such inspection or audit upon reasonable prior notice
to
Borrower and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with tenants
or
occupants thereof. The cost of such inspection or audit obtained by
Lender upon Borrower’s failure to do so shall bear interest from the date such
costs are incurred by Lender until paid at the Default Rate and shall be
due and
payable by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days after the date Lender
makes
written demand therefor, and if not so paid, may be added to the
Debt. In the event that any environmental site assessment report
prepared in connection with such inspection or audit recommends that an
operations and maintenance plan be implemented for Asbestos or any Hazardous
Substance, Borrower shall cause such operations and maintenance plan to be
prepared and implemented at Borrower’s expense upon request of Lender, and with
respect to any Toxic Mold, Borrower shall take all action necessary to clean
and
disinfect any portions of the Improvements affected by Toxic Mold in or about
the Improvements, including providing any necessary moisture control systems
at
the Property. In the event that any investigation, site monitoring,
containment cleanup, removal, restoration, or other work of any kind is
reasonably necessary under an applicable Environmental Law (the
“Remedial Work”), Borrower shall promptly commence and
thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all such Remedial Work, provided
that in any event Borrower shall complete such Remedial Work within the time
required by applicable Environmental Law, and provided, further, that Borrower’s
obligation to perform Remedial Work shall be without prejudice to any rights
Borrower may have against responsible parties. All Remedial Work
shall be performed by contractors approved in advance by Lender, and under
the
supervision of a consulting engineer approved by Lender. All costs
and expenses of such Remedial Work shall be paid by Borrower including, without
limitation, Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in
connection with monitoring or review of such Remedial Work. Nothing
herein shall prevent Borrower from recovering such expenses from any other
party
that may be liable for such Remedial Work. In the event Borrower
shall fail to timely commence, or cause to be commenced, or fail to diligently
prosecute to completion, such Remedial Work, Lender may, but shall not be
required to, cause such Remedial Work to be performed, and all costs and
expenses thereof, or incurred in
-
44
-
connection
therewith, shall bear interest from the date such costs are incurred by Lender
until paid at the Default Rate and shall be due and payable by Borrower to
Lender within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor,
and if not so paid, may be added to the Debt.

the
lease term (except for termination rights (i) set forth in the Existing
Leases or (ii) arising from a taking or the destruction of all or

accompanied by all information requested by Lender or reasonably necessary
for

of
substantially all of the Property), any requirement for a non-disturbance

certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of the preceding
sentence within ten (10) days after the execution of the Lease. With
respect to any Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an
existing Lease that requires Lender’s consent under this
Section 5.10.3, provided that no Event of Default is continuing, if
Borrower provides Lender with a written request for approval (which written
request shall specifically refer to this Section 5.10.3 and shall
explicitly state that failure by Lender to approve or disapprove within ten
(10)
Business Days will constitute a deemed approval) and Lender fails to reject
the
request in writing delivered to Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after
receipt by Lender of the request, the proposed Lease or proposed renewal,
extension or modification of an existing Lease shall be deemed approved by
Lender, and Borrower shall be entitled to enter into such proposed Lease
or
proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Lease.
5.10.4 Additional
Covenants with Respect to Leases. Borrower (i) shall observe

Borrower shall send or receive thereunder; (iii) shall enforce all the

(1)
month in advance; (v) shall not execute any other assignment of the
lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents; (vi) shall, upon request of

(2)
times in any calendar year; and (vii) shall execute and deliver at the
request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments
in
connection with the Property as Lender shall from time to time reasonably
require.

Deposits. All security deposits of tenants, whether held in cash
or any other form, if cash, shall be deposited by Borrower at such commercial

or other instrument which Borrower is permitted to hold in lieu of cash security
deposits under any applicable legal requirements shall be maintained in full
force and effect in the full amount of such deposits unless replaced by cash
deposits as hereinabove described, shall (if issued after the date hereof)
be
fully assignable to Lender and shall, in all respects, comply with any
applicable legal requirements and otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to
Lender. Borrower shall, upon request, provide Lender with evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Lender of Borrower’s compliance with the
foregoing. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon Lender’s request, if permitted by any
applicable legal requirements, turn over to Lender the security deposits
(and
any interest theretofore earned thereon) with respect to all or any portion
of
the Property, to be held by Lender subject to the terms of the
Leases.
5.10.6 Master
Lease. Borrower and Master Lease Tenant have entered into the
Master Lease, pursuant to which Master Lease Tenant leases from the Borrower
the
entirety of the Master Lease Space, which Master Lease provides for free
rent
from the date hereof through and including April 30, 2007 and requires that,
on
the first (1st) day of
each calendar month, commencing on May 1, 2007 the Master Lease Tenant pay
to
Borrower a fixed base rent equal to Minimum ML Rent (defined
below). The Master Lease term expires on April 30,
2012. The Master Lease Tenant shall be entitled to offset against the
Minimum ML Rent payable each month an amount equal to the aggregate amount
of
rent actually received in the Clearing Account from tenants (other than the
Master Lease Tenant) under Leases (other than the Master Lease) at the Property
during and attributable to the immediately preceding Interest
Period. As used herein, “Minimum ML Rent” shall mean
an amount payable, in monthly installments under the Master Lease, necessary
for
the Property to achieve a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least
1.10:1. In calculating the Debt Service Coverage Ratio solely for
purposes of determining the Minimum ML Rent, the Net Operating Income component
of such calculation shall be deemed to be the Minimum ML
Rent. As of the date hereof the Minimum ML Rent is $15,800,000
annually. On each Calculation Date, the Minimum ML Rent shall be
adjusted to take into account any changes in LIBOR and such adjusted Minimum
ML
Rent shall apply for the calendar quarter following such Calculation
Date.

respects of all obligations of the Manager thereunder, and except as otherwise
permitted by the Loan Documents, not permit the termination or amendment
of the
Management Agreement unless the prior written consent of Lender is first
obtained, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. Borrower shall cause the Manager to enter into an assignment

(the “Subordination of Management Agreement”). The
Subordination of Management Agreement shall assign and subordinate the Manager’s
interests in the Property and all fees and other rights of the Manager pursuant
to the Management Agreement to the rights of Lender. Upon an Event of
Default, Borrower shall, at Lender’s request made at any time while such Event
of Default continues, terminate, or cause the termination of, the Management
Agreement. After the date hereof, Borrower shall not enter into any
agreement relating to the management of the Property with any party without
the
express written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld to the extent that such manager is an affiliate of Borrower);
provided, however, with respect to a new manager of the Property
(but not a leasing agent or subcontractor appointed in accordance with the
Management Agreement) such consent may also be conditioned upon Borrower
delivering (i) a Rating Comfort Letter (if required pursuant to a Pooling
and Servicing Agreement from and after the occurrence of a Securitization)
with
respect to such new manager and management agreement (other than a Qualified
Manager that is Controlled (in the sense of clause (ii) of the defined term
“Control”) by the REIT), and (ii) evidence satisfactory to Lender (which
shall include, at the request of Lender, a legal non-consolidation opinion
acceptable to Lender) that the single purpose nature and bankruptcy remoteness
of Borrower, its shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, after
the engagement of the new manager are in accordance with the requirements
of the
Rating Agencies. If at any time Lender consents to the appointment of
a new manager, such new manager and Borrower shall, as a condition of Lender’s
consent, execute an assignment and subordination of such management agreement
in
the form then used by Lender.
5.12.2 Termination
of Manager. Borrower, upon the request of Lender, shall terminate
the Manager, without penalty or fee, if at any time during the Term (a) the
Manager shall become Insolvent or a debtor in any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding, (b) there exists an Event of Default for which Lender has not
accepted a cure thereof, (c) the Maturity Date has occurred and the Loan
has not been repaid or (d) the Manager’s gross negligence, malfeasance or
willful misconduct or the occurrence of a default by Manager under the
Management Agreement and its continuance beyond any applicable notice or
cure
period. At such time as the Manager is removed pursuant to and in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, a
-

replacement
manager and management agreement acceptable to Lender and the applicable
Rating
Agencies in their sole discretion shall assume management of the Property
and
shall receive a property management fee not to exceed the then current market
rates.

restructuring shall not result in any Person, together with any Affiliates
thereof, that prior to such restructuring, who owned in the aggregate (directly,
indirectly or beneficially) less than forty-nine percent (49%) of the interests
in Borrower (or any entity directly or indirectly holding an interest in

the
following coverages:
-
62

utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation; (B) containing an
agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Equipment
waiving
all co insurance provisions; (C) providing for no “all risk” deductible in
excess of $100,000; and (D) containing an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or
“Enforcement” endorsement if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property
shall at any time constitute legal non conforming structures or
uses. In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (x) Flood
Insurance in an amount sufficient to cover the lesser of 20% of the insured
building improvements, or the value of the first floor building improvements,
subject to a deductible not to exceed $500,000; (y) earthquake insurance in
an amount equal to the full replacement value less a deductible of five percent
(5%) of the Total Insured Value (which includes annual rental value) at the
Property, and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Lender
if a Seismic Report shows the PML to be 20% or greater; and (z) windstorm
insurance in amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender if
coverage is ever excluded from the all risk policy, provided that the insurance

(a) and rental interruption insurance under subsection (c)
below;
(b) commercial
general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury,

hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and
completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors;

letter of credit in the amount of $200,000, held and administrated by the
carrier. Once the first $200,000 is exhausted additional Letters of
Credit must be continually posted until the $750,000 maximum deductible is
exhausted.

interruption insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender (allowing
reimbursement to Borrower for reasonable operating costs during the

amount equal to 100% of the projected gross income from the Property
-
63

for
a
period of eighteen (18) months from the date that the Property is repaired
or
replaced and operations are resumed. The amount of such rental
interruption insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at

income from the Property for the succeeding eighteen (18) month
period. Subject to the rights of Lender and subject to the provisions

this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations

boiler and machinery insurance in an amount reasonably acceptable to Lender
on
terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under
subsections (a) and (c) above;
(g) umbrella
liability insurance in an amount not less than $50,000,000 per occurrence,
on
terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy and
motor liability insurance policy required under subsection (b) above
and subsection (h) below, on a portfolio basis naming the Property and
all other properties owned by the OP and/or its Affiliates; provided, that
such
insurance may be provided under a blanket insurance Policy so long as the
coverage required pursuant to this clause is not reduced below the per
occurrence limit set forth in this clause;
(h) motor
vehicle liability coverage for all owned and non owned vehicles, including
rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence, excluding
umbrella coverage, of $1,000,000;
(i) if
the Property is or becomes a legal "non conforming" use, ordinance and law
coverage is required based on the following minimum limits: Coverage
A (value of the undamaged portion) to be included with the insured building
limit; Coverage B (demolition/debris removal) at 10% of insured building
value,
or if a stated value is required, in a
-
64
-
minimum
limit to compliment the destruction threshold in the applicable building
code;
and Coverage C (increased cost of construction) at 10% of insured building
value;
(j) if
“certified acts of terrorism”, as declared by the United States Government, are
now or hereafter excluded from Borrower’s comprehensive all risk insurance
policy, business income coverage, commercial general liability insurance
or
umbrella liability insurance coverage, Borrower shall obtain an endorsement
to
such policies, or separate policies, insuring against all such “certified acts
of terrorism” (such acts or events so excluded, “Terrorism
Acts”); provided Borrower shall not be required to spend in excess of
an amount equal to 150% of the aggregate amount of all insurance premiums
payable for all coverages required for the Loan with respect to the Property
and
all other properties owned by the OP and/or its Affiliates per annum for
the
last policy year in which coverage for terrorism was included as part of
the
“all risk” property policy, adjusted annually by a percentage equal to the
increase in the Consumer Price Index (hereinafter defined) (the
“Terrorism Premium Cap”) for such coverage and, in the event
that Full Coverage is not available at a per annum cost of the Terrorism
Premium
Cap, then Borrower shall purchase insurance covering Terrorism Acts in an
amount
equal to the principal balance of the Loan, but shall not be required to
maintain the full amount of such coverage if such coverage is not available
at a
per annum cost of the Terrorism Premium Cap or less, provided that in the
event
that the Terrorism Premium Cap is not sufficient to purchase such coverage
in an
amount equal to the principal balance of the Loan, then Borrower shall obtain
the greatest amount of coverage obtainable at a per annum cost of the Terrorism
Premium Cap. As used herein,
“Consumer Price Index” means the
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, New York Metropolitan
Statistical Area, All Items (1982-84 = 100), or any successor index thereto,
approximately adjusted, and in the event that the Consumer Price Index is
converted to a different standard reference base or otherwise revised, the
determination of adjustments provided for herein shall be made with the use
of
such conversion factor, formula or table for converting the Consumer Price
Index
as may be published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or, if said Bureau
shall
not publish the same, then with the use of such conversion factor, formula
or
table as may be published by Xxxxxxxx-Xxxx, Inc., or any other nationally
recognized publisher of similar statistical information; and if the Consumer
Price Index ceases to be published, and there is no successor thereto (i)
such
other index as Lender and Borrower shall agree upon in writing or (ii) if
Lender
and Borrower cannot agree on a substitute index, such other index, as reasonably
selected by Lender.
In
the
event that the limits of insurance in place covering Terrorism Acts on a
portfolio basis are exhausted by damage to a property other than the Property,
then Borrower shall restore the coverage provided for in clause (x) above
(or any lesser amount of coverage that is available if such coverage is not
available), to the extent such insurance is commercially available;
and
(k) upon
sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such
reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against
such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against
for
property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which
the
Property is located.
7.1.2 Policies. All
insurance provided for in Section 7.1.1 above shall be obtained under
valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or
in the singular, the
-
65
-
“Policy”
and shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender as to insurance
companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The
Policies (or a “cut-through” endorsement, approved by Lender, with respect to
any such Policy) shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance
companies authorized to do business in the State and, except in the case
of
flood hazard insurance and earthquake insurance, having a claims paying ability
rating of “A” or better by S&P and an equivalent rating by Xxxxx’x
(provided, however for multi-layered policies, (A) if four (4) or less
insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least seventy-five percent
(75%)
of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided by
insurance companies with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by
S&P (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency), with no carrier below
“BBB” (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency) or (B) if five (5) or
more insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least sixty percent
(60%)
of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided by
insurance companies with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by
S&P (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency), with no carrier below
“BBB” (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency). The Policies
described in Section 7.1.1 above (other than those strictly limited to
liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee and Lender shall
be
an additional named insured, as its interests may appear. Five (5)
days prior to the renewal dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to
Lender,
certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence
satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder shall be
delivered by Borrower to Lender.
7.1.3 Insurance
Premiums. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 hereof,
Borrower shall pay the premiums for such Policies (the “Insurance
Premiums”) as the same become due and payable and shall furnish to
Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies with receipts for
the
payment of the Insurance Premiums or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to Lender (provided, however, that Borrower is not
required to furnish such evidence of payment to Lender in the event that
such
Insurance Premiums have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 3.3
hereof). If Borrower is required to furnish such evidence and
receipts pursuant to the preceding sentence and Borrower does not furnish
such
evidence and receipts at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any
expiring Policy, then Lender may procure, but shall not be obligated to procure,
such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower agrees
to
reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on
demand. Within thirty (30) Business Days after request by Lender,
Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required
hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration
changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes
in
prudent customs and practices of owners of property similar to the Property
located in or around the region in which the Property is located and as may
be
available at commercially reasonable rates. Lender acknowledges that
the Policies, delivered with respect to the Property as of the date hereof
satisfy the requirements of this Article 7. Such approval
shall continue in effect until the expiration or termination of such Policies,
provided that there is not a downgrade by S&P or Xxxxx’x of any insurer
providing such Policies and, as a result thereof, Borrower fails to satisfy
the
rating criteria set forth in Section 7.1.2 above. Any renewal
or replacement of such Policies, however, shall require Lender’s approval as
provided above in this Section 7.1.3 unless (i) the companies
providing such renewal or replacement Policies are licensed or authorized
to do
business in the state where the Property is located and have a claims paying
ability rating by S&P and Xxxxx’x that satisfy the requirements set forth in
Section 7.1.2 above or that, subject to the provisions of Section
7.1.5
-
66
-
below,
such rating is no less than the rating as of the date hereof of the company
providing the insurance approved by Lender as of the date hereof, (ii) the
coverage provided by such renewal or replacement Policies is no less than
the
coverage approved by Lender as of the date hereof, (iii) such renewal or
replacement Policies contain in all material respects the same terms and
conditions as the Policies approved by Lender as of the date hereof and
(iv) Lender has not notified Borrower in accordance with this Section
7.1 that the requirements for the Policies have changed since the date
hereof.
7.1.4 Blanket
Policies. The insurance coverage required under this Section
7.1 may be effected under one or more blanket Policies covering the Property
and other property and assets not constituting a part of the Property; provided
that any blanket Policy shall specify, except in the case of general liability
insurance, the portion of the total coverage of such blanket Policy that
is
allocated exclusively to the Property and shall comply in all respects with
the
requirements of this Article 7. Lender hereby confirms that it
approves (i) the terms of the existing Property Insurance Sharing Agreement
among Borrower and certain of its Affiliates, and (ii) that the Insurance
Premiums are financed through one or more finance companies (individually
and/or
collectively, the “Blanket Insurance Premium Financing
Arrangement”) to whom Borrower pays Borrower’s allocable share of the
annual initial deposit and the monthly payments due for each blanket Policy
to
the applicable finance company (with respect to each blanket Policy, such
monthly payment, together with one-twelfth (1/12th) of the allocable share
of
the annual initial deposit necessary to accumulate such allocable share for
such
Policy at least thirty (30) days prior to its due date, each, a
“Financing Installment”).
Section
7.2 Casualty
.
7.2.1 Notice;
Restoration. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in
whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”),
Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the
occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether insurance proceeds
are
available (unless Lender has breached its obligation (if any) to make such
insurance proceeds available pursuant to Section 7.4.1 below), shall
promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to be of
at
least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such
damage or destruction (a “Casualty Restoration”), all to be
effected in accordance with applicable law
7.2.2 Settlement
of Proceeds. If a Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an
“Insured Casualty”) occurs where the loss does not exceed
$1,500,000, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust any claim without the prior consent
of Lender; provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely
manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for the
Insurance Proceeds (as hereinafter defined). In the event of an
Insured Casualty where the loss exceeds $1,500,000 (a “Significant
Casualty”), Lender may, in its sole discretion, settle and adjust any
claim without the consent of Borrower and agree with the insurer(s) in a
commercially reasonable manner on the amount to be paid on the loss, and
the
Proceeds shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in
the
Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disbursed in accordance
herewith. If Borrower or any party other than Lender is a payee on
any
-
67
-
check
representing Proceeds with respect to a Significant Casualty, Borrower shall
immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check
payable to the order of Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints
Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse such
check
payable to the order of Lender. The expenses incurred by Lender in
the settlement, adjustment and collection of the Proceeds shall become part
of
the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days
following demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance carrier makes a payment
under a property insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated as business
or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or
lack
of designation) by the insurance carrier as to the purpose of such payment,
as
between Lender and Borrower, such payment shall not be treated as business
or
rental interruption insurance proceeds unless Borrower has demonstrated to
Lender’s reasonable satisfaction that the remaining net Proceeds that will be
received from the property insurance carriers are sufficient to pay 100%
of the
cost of fully restoring the Improvements or, if such net Proceeds are to
be
applied to repay the Debt in accordance with the terms hereof, that such
remaining net Proceeds, together with any portion of the amount treated as
business or rental interruption insurance that will be paid to Lender, will
be
sufficient to pay the Debt in full.
Section
7.3 Condemnation
.
7.3.1 Notice;
Restoration. Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice
of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain
proceeding (a “Condemnation”) and shall deliver to Lender
copies of any and all papers served in connection with such
Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower,
regardless of whether an Award (hereinafter defined) is available (unless
Lender
has breached its obligation (if any) to make such Award available pursuant
to
Section 7.4.1 below), shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace
or rebuild the same to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value
and
of substantially the same character as prior to such Condemnation (a
“Condemnation Restoration”, together with a Casualty
Restoration, collectively a “Restoration”), all to be effected
in accordance with applicable law.
7.3.2 Collection
of Award. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect,
receive and retain any award or payment (“Award”) for any
taking accomplished through a Condemnation (a “Taking”) and to
make any commercially reasonable compromise or settlement in connection with
any
such Condemnation, subject to the provisions of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the
right, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
to compromise and collect or receive any award that does not exceed
$1,500,000. Notwithstanding any Taking by any public or quasi-public
authority (including, without limitation, any transfer made in lieu of or
in
anticipation of such a Taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at
the
time and in the manner provided for in the Note, in this Agreement and the
other
Loan Documents and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award
shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of
collecting the Award and to discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not
be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority
but
shall be entitled to receive out of the
-
68
-
Award
interest at the rate or rates provided in the Note. Borrower shall
cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be paid directly to
Lender. The expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and
collection of the Award shall become part of the Debt and be secured hereby
and
shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days after the
date
Lender makes written demand therefor.
Section
7.4 Application
of Proceeds or Award
.
7.4.1 Application
to Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in
connection with the Restoration of the Property and Improvements:
(a) If
the Net Proceeds shall be less than $1,500,000 and the costs of completing
the
Restoration shall be less than $1,500,000, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed
by
Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set
forth
in Section 7.4.1(c)(i) below are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a
written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete
with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(b) If
the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than $1,500,000 or the costs of
completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than $1,500,000 Lender
shall
make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 7.4. The term “Net
Proceeds” shall mean: (A) the net amount of all
insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 7.1.1(a), (d), (f),
(i) and (j) hereof (and any similar or comparable types of insurance
obtained pursuant to Section 7.1.1(i) hereof as a result of such damage
or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including,
but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same
(“Insurance Proceeds”), or (B) the net amount of the Award,
after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not
limited
to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, actually incurred in collecting same
(“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may
be.
(c) The
Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided
that
each of the following conditions are met:
(i) no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(ii) (1) in
the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent
(30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed
or
rendered unusable as a result of such fire or other 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 in such land;
(iii) Leases
(other than the Master Lease) demising in the aggregate at least sixty-five
percent (65%) of the total rentable space in the Property and in effect as
of
the date of the occurrence of such Insured Casualty or Condemnation remain
in
full force and effect during and after the completion of the
Restoration;
-
69
-
(iv) Borrower
shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in
no
event later than ninety (90) days after such damage or destruction or taking,
whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to
satisfactory completion;
(v) Lender
shall be reasonably satisfied that any operating deficits, including all
scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be
incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any
such
fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, will be covered
out
of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in
Section 7.1.1(c) hereof, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of
Borrower;
(vi) Lender
shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the
earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the
earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Required
Lease, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law,
ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair and restore the Property
to the
condition it was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or to
as
nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such taking,
as
applicable or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in
Section 7.1.1(c) hereof;
(vii) the
Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance
with
and permitted under all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations and all necessary operating or reciprocal easement agreements
for
the operation and maintenance of the Property are, or remain, in
effect;
(viii) the
Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and
diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable governmental laws,
rules
and regulations (including, without limitation, all applicable environmental
laws); and
(ix) such
fire or other casualty or taking, as applicable, does not result in a material
loss of access to the Property.
(d) Unless
such amounts are payable to Borrower pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof or
Section 7.3 hereof, the Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an
interest-bearing account for the benefit of Borrower (which interest shall
be
added to and become a part of the Net Proceeds) and, until disbursed in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4, shall constitute
additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan
Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as
directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration,
upon receipt of evidence reasonably 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
the
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 arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully
bonded
to the
-
70
-
satisfaction
of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to
the
reasonable satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the title
insurance policy.
(e) All
plans and specifications required in connection with any Restoration following
a
Casualty or Condemnation resulting in Net Proceeds of $1,500,000 or more
shall
be subject to prior review and reasonable acceptance in all respects by Lender
and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the
“Casualty Consultant”) provided that if the correspondence from
Borrower to Lender requesting approval of any such plans and specifications
(or
contractors, subcontractors or materialmen in connection therewith) contains
a
bold faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page stating that
“IF YOU
FAIL TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN FIFTEEN (15)
BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN”, and if Lender fails to
respond to such request for approval in writing within fifteen (15) Business
Days after receipt by Lender of such written request, the related plans and
specifications and all information reasonably required in order to adequately
review the same, then such approval will be deemed given. Lender
shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses
and
approvals required or obtained in connection with the
Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and
materialmen engaged in any Restoration following a Casualty or Condemnation
resulting in Net Proceeds of $3,000,000 or more, 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, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. All costs and expenses incurred by
Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration
including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements
and the
Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(f) In
no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds
in
excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time
for
work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty
Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty
Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the hard
costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as
certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been
completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this clause (f),
be
less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors,
subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The
Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies
to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 7.4.1 and that all approvals necessary for the
re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate
governmental and quasi governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence
satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in
full
or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided,
however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage
being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged
in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies
to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily
completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the
provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the
contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence
of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or
materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company
issuing the title insurance policy, and Lender receives an
-
71
-
endorsement
to the title insurance policy insuring the continued priority of the lien
of the
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.
(g) Lender
shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently
than once every calendar month.
(h) If
at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not,
in
the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant,
be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated
by the
Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the
Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds
Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net
Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with
Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually
incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable
to
the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to
this
Section 7.4 shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other
obligations under the Loan Documents.
(i) The
excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of
the
Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant
certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance
with
the provisions of this Section 7.4.1, and the receipt by Lender of
evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with
the
Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower,
provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing
under
the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(j) Notwithstanding
the last sentence of Section 7.1.1(c) above and provided no Event of
Default exists hereunder, proceeds received by Lender on account of the rental
or business interruption insurance specified in Section 7.1.1(c) above
with respect to any Casualty shall either (x) at any time other than during
the
continuance of a Cash Management Period, be released to Borrower for Borrower’s
deposit with the Clearing Bank or (y) during a Cash Management Period, be
deposited by Lender directly into the Deposit Account and allocated as Rents
in
accordance with Section 3.11(i) through (ix) hereof but (a) only to the
extent it reflects a replacement for (i) lost Rents that would have been
due under Leases existing on the date of such Casualty, and/or (ii) lost
Rents under Leases that had not yet been executed and delivered at the time
of
such Casualty which Borrower has proven to the insurer under the related
Policy
would have been due under such Leases (and then only to the extent such proceeds
disbursed by such insurer reflect a replacement for such past due Rents)
and
(b) with respect to clause (y) above, only to the extent necessary to fully
make the disbursements required by Section 3.11(i) through (ix)
hereof. All other such proceeds shall be held by Lender and disbursed
in accordance with this Section 7.4.
7.4.2 Application
to Debt. All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made
available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess
Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 7.4.1(i) above may be retained and
applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt
-
72
-
whether
or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender
in
its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the
same
may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as
Lender
shall designate, in its discretion.

Section
8.1 Events
of Default
. An
“Event of Default” shall exist with respect to the Loan if any of the following
shall occur:
(a) if
any portion of the Debt (including required deposits into the Subaccounts
pursuant to Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.8 hereof) that is due on a
Payment Date is not paid on or before the related Payment Date or, for any
payment other than payments due on a Payment Date, the date on which such
payment is due;
(b) subject
to Borrower’s right to contest as provided herein, if any of the Taxes are not
paid prior to the date that any interest, late fees or other penalties would
accrue thereon or any of the Other Charges are not paid when the same are

or in
any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, financial statement
or
other instrument or document furnished to Lender in connection with the Loan

under
the Loan Documents, Borrower shall have thirty (30) days after notice thereof
to
cure such default;

Section
8.2 Remedies
.
8.2.1 Acceleration.
(a) Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described
in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1 hereof) and at any time and from
time to time thereafter while such an Event of Default is then continuing,
in
addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the
Loan
Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice
or
demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against
Borrower and in and to the Property including declaring the Debt to be
immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest,
Late Payment Charges, Spread Maintenance Premium and any other amounts owing
by
Borrower), without notice or demand.
(b) Upon
any Event of Default described in paragraph (f), (g) or (s) of Section
8.1 hereof, the Debt (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest,
Late
Payment Charges, Spread Maintenance Premium and any other amounts owing by
Borrower) shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without
notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or
demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding.
8.2.2 Remedies
Cumulative. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or
any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available
to Lender against Borrower under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity
may
be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not
all or
any of the Debt shall be declared, or be automatically, due and payable,
and
whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or
other
action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan
Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and
concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together
or
otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its
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 in the Loan Documents. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event
of
Default is continuing, (i) to the extent
-
75
-
permitted
by applicable law, Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of
remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or
privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until
Lender
has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property, the Mortgage has
been
foreclosed, the Property has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in
satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document
shall
be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Property
for
the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other
portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the entire Property or any
part
thereof, in its discretion.
8.2.3 Severance. Lender
shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan
Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security
documents in such denominations and priorities of payment and liens as Lender
shall determine in its discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing
its
rights and remedies. 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. 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 such severance, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney
shall do by virtue thereof.
8.2.4 Delay. No
delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an
Event
of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender shall
impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or 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 shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent
Default
or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent
thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency
claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Mortgage to the extent necessary
to foreclose on all or any portion of the Property, the Rents, the Cash
Management Accounts or any other collateral.
8.2.5 Lender’s
Right to Perform. If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or
obligation contained herein (including the covenant set forth in the last
sentence of Section 5.4.1 hereof) and such failure shall continue for a
period of five (5) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice
thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any
of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of
the
other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform,
or
cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses,
liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection
therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days after
the
date Lender makes written demand therefor and, if not paid, shall be added
to
the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the
Mortgage and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at
the
Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no
obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

SPECIAL
PROVISIONS
Section
9.1 Sale
of Note and Securitization
.
9.1.1 Cooperation
in Securitization. At the request of the holder of the Note and,
to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under the Note,
Loan Agreement or other Loan Documents, Borrower and its affiliates shall
use
reasonable efforts to comply with the requests of the holder of the Note
or to
take such action as may be required by a purchaser, transferee, assignee,
servicer, participant or other potential investor (collectively, the
“Investor”) or by the Rating Agencies in connection with one or
more sales, transfers or assignments of the Loan (or portions thereof or
interests therein), or grants of participation interests therein, in connection
with one or more securitizations of such Note, or portions thereof or interests
therein (each such sale and/or securitization, a
“Securitization”) involving the issuance of rated or unrated
single-class or multi-class securities (the “Securities”)
secured by or evidencing direct or indirect ownership interests in, among
other
things, the Note (or any portion thereof or interests therein) and the Loan
Agreement. Such efforts, with respect to each Securitization may
include, without limitation, to:
(a) (i) provide
such financial and other information with respect to the Property, Borrower,
the
OP and the REIT (the OP and the REIT, being individually or collectively
referred to herein as the “Parent”) and the manager of the
Property as reasonably determined by the holder of the Note to be necessary
or
appropriate in connection with the Securitization (including, without
limitation, existing audited or unaudited financial statements or at no expense
to Borrower or any Parent, audited or unaudited financial statements),
(ii) provide budgets relating to the Property (iii) at no expense to
Borrower or any Parent, perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted
such site inspections, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews
and
reports (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), engineering reports and
other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably
requested by the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies, and/or Investors
in
the Securities, or as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection
with the Securitization in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere
with
the tenants or occupants thereof (such information in clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii) being collectively referred to as the “Provided
Information”), together with appropriate verification and/or consents
with respect to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions
of counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to the holder of the Note
and the
Rating Agencies;
(b) prepare
a presentation for the Rating Agencies describing Borrower, Parent, the
Property, management of the Property and such other matters as are customary
for
securitizations such as the Securitization, in each case as may be reasonably
requested by the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies and/or Investors
in the
Securities or as may be reasonably determined by the holder of the Note to
be
necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization;
-
77
-
(c) cause
counsel to render opinions, which may be relied upon by the holder of the
Note,
the Rating Agencies, Investors and/or other participants in the Securitization,
as to non consolidation or any other opinion customary in securitization
transactions with respect to the Property, Borrower, Parent and their respective
affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to
the
holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies and/or Investors in the
Securities;
(d) work
with and, if requested, supervise third-party service providers engaged by
Borrower to obtain, collect and deliver information reasonably required by
the
Rating Agencies in connection with the Securitization;
(e) if
required by the Rating Agencies, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver
such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other
agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Property, which estoppel
letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be reasonably
satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(f) make
such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization
with respect to the Property, Borrower, Parent, the Note, Loan Agreement
and
other Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the
Note,
the Rating Agencies and/or Investors in the Securities and as are consistent
with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist
on
the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the
Note,
Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents; and
(g) execute
such amendments to the Note, Loan Agreement, other Loan Documents and
organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by the holder of
the
Note, the Rating Agencies and/or Investors in the Securities or otherwise
to
effect one or more Securitizations (including, without limitation, such
amendments as shall be necessary or advisable to sever the Note (and/or any
then
existing component thereof) into one or more notes and/or one or more components
and allocate Principal amounts thereof in order to effectuate one or more
sales
of the Note (and/or the resulting notes or components thereof) and/or to
correspond to the related classes of Securities in one or more Securitizations
so long as, in all such cases, the overall duration-weighted interest rate
over
all of the notes and components shall equal the Interest Rate); provided,
however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend
the Note,
Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents if such modification or amendment
would (i) have a material adverse economic effect on Borrower or its
Affiliates, (ii) modify or amend the loan term, amortization or any other
economic term of the Loan or (iii) otherwise materially increase the
obligations or materially decrease the rights of Borrower or the other parties
pursuant to the Note, Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents (including,
but
not limited to, modifying the transfer, recourse, prepayment, event of default
or remedy provisions of the Loan Documents or the organizational documents
of
Borrower or its Affiliate).
9.1.2 Costs
and Expenses. Borrower, the REIT and their Affiliates will bear
their own internal costs of cooperation required by this Agreement in connection
with any Securitization, but Lender shall be responsible for all other
out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with any Securitization after
the
closing of the Loan.
-
78
-
9.1.3 Indemnification.
(a) Borrower
and its respective Affiliates understand that certain of the Provided
Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with each
Securitization, including, without limitation, a prospectus, prospectus
supplement, private placement memorandum, collateral term sheets, structured
term sheets and computational materials (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 Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to
Investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies and service providers relating
to such Securitization. In the event that such Disclosure Document is
required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower, and
its
respective Affiliates will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating
the
Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep
the
Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects;
provided, however, that this provision shall be limited to those
portions of the Disclosure Statement that described Borrower or any of its
Affiliates, the Property, the Loan or the other Loan Documents.
(b) In
the case of each Securitization, Borrower agrees to cooperate in connection
with
(i) the preparation of a preliminary and a final private placement
memorandum and/or (ii) the preparation of a preliminary and final
prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, and (iii) the execution
of an indemnification certificate (A) certifying that Borrower has
carefully examined in each such memorandum or prospectus, as applicable,
all
sections containing information relating to the Property, Parent, Borrower,
any
Affiliates of Parent, Borrower, or the Loan, and that such information included
therein (collectively, the “Securitization Information”), does
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact known to Borrower that is necessary in order to make the statements
made,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
(B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.1.3,
Lender hereunder shall include its officers, directors and employees), the
Person who acts as depositor, issuer and/or registrant who may have filed
a
registration statement relating to the Securitization, each underwriter or
placement agent involved in the Securitization, each of their respective
directors and officers and each Person who controls such Person within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act
(collectively, the “Indemnified Group”), for any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the
“Liabilities”) to which any of the Indemnified Group may become
subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
Securitization Information which untrue or alleged untrue statement is not
expressly disclosed to Lender by Borrower after Borrower has been given an
opportunity to review the Securitization Information, or arise out of or
are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse each Person in the Indemnified
Group for any legal or other expenses incurred by each such Person in connection
with investigating or defending the Liabilities for which an indemnity is
owed
hereunder; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any
such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such
Liability arises out of or is based upon any Provided Information or upon
the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact known to Borrower
that is required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of
-
79
-
the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or any other
information furnished to Lender or any other Person in the Indemnified Group
by
Borrower or an affiliate in connection with the preparation of any Disclosure
Document or in connection with the underwriting of the Debt, including, without
limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements, rent
rolls,
environmental site assessment reports and Property condition reports with
respect to the Property. This indemnity agreement will be in addition
to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.
(c) In
the case of each Securitization, in connection with filings under the Exchange
Act, Borrower agrees to indemnify (i) each Person in the Indemnified Group
for Liabilities to which each such Person may become subject insofar as the
Liabilities arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or an alleged
untrue statement in the Provided Information or an omission or alleged omission
to state in the Provided Information a material fact known to Borrower that
is
necessary in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in
light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, which untrue
or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is not expressly
disclosed to Lender by Borrower after Borrower has been given an opportunity
to
review such filings under the Exchange Act and (ii) each Person in the
Indemnified Group for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by
each
such Person in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities
for
which an indemnity is owed hereunder.
(d) Promptly
after receipt by a party seeking indemnification hereunder of notice of the
commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect
of
which a claim is to be made under this Section 9.1.3, such party will
notify Borrower in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission
to so
notify Borrower will not relieve Borrower from any liability which Borrower
may
have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure
to
notify causes prejudice to Borrower. In the event that any action is
brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies Borrower of the
commencement thereof, Borrower will be entitled to participate therein and,
to
the extent that Borrower may elect by written notice delivered to the
indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such
indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from Borrower to
such indemnified party hereunder, Borrower shall be responsible 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 Borrower 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 in addition to those
available to Borrower, 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
or
parties. Borrower 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 Borrower that are different
from
or additional to those available to another indemnified party.
(e) In
order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in
which
any indemnification provided for under this Section 9.1.3 is for any
reason held to be unenforceable, unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless
an
indemnified party in respect of any
-
80
-
Liabilities
which would otherwise be indemnifiable hereunder, Borrower shall contribute
to
the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such
Liabilities; provided, however, that if any indemnified party is
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f)
of
the Securities Act) it shall not be entitled to contribution from Borrower
if
Borrower was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In
determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are
entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) the
relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect
to which a 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 Borrower and its Affiliates hereunder shall
survive the termination of the Note, Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents
and
the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
(g) Each
Person in the Indemnified Group is an intended third party beneficiary of
the
obligations of Borrower herein.
9.1.4 Rating
Surveillance. Lender will retain the Rating Agencies to provide
rating surveillance services on Securities. The pro rata expenses of
such surveillance will be paid for by Borrower based on the applicable
percentage of such expenses determined by dividing the then outstanding
Principal by the then aggregate outstanding amount of the pool created in
the
Securitization which includes the Loan.
9.1.5 Severance
of Loan. Lender shall have the right, at any time (whether prior
to, in connection with, or after any Securitization), 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 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) or (iv) otherwise sever the Loan into two or
more loans secured by mortgages, in each such case, in whatever proportion
and
whatever priority Lender determines; provided, however, in each
such instance the outstanding 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 and such action shall not result
in
additional costs to Borrower except as expressly provided above. If
requested by Lender, Borrower (and Borrower’s constituent members, if
applicable, and Guarantor) shall execute within five (5) Business Days after
such request, such documentation as Lender may reasonably request to evidence
and/or effectuate any such modification or severance.

of the
Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to
such
foreclosure or action in lieu thereof.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents (i) Lender shall not
be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a),
506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file
a
claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall
continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the
Loan
Documents, and (ii) the Debt shall become fully recourse to Borrower (but
not
its members (other than Guarantor solely to the extent provided in the
Non-Recourse Guaranty) or other direct or indirect constituent members or

no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or
finders in connection with the Loan. Borrower shall indemnify and
hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs
and
expenses (including attorneys’ fees, whether incurred in connection with
enforcing this indemnity or defending claims of third parties) of any kind
in
any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person

making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of
the

unpaid or such longer period if expressly set forth in this
Agreement. All Borrower’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of the respective legal representatives, successors
and assigns of Lender.
Section

Discretion
-
84
-
. Whenever
pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender exercises any
right given to it to approve or disapprove, or consent or withhold consent,

discretion, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove, to consent or
withhold consent, or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory
or
not satisfactory, or acceptable or unacceptable or in Lender’s discretion shall
(except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion
of Lender and shall be final and conclusive.

modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to
any
departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the
same
shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought,
and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, no notice to or demand on Borrower shall entitle
Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or
other
circumstances. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of
Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant
or
agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder,
or
under any other Loan Document, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof,
nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future
exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or
privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting
payment after the due date of any amount payable under any Loan Document,
Lender
shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment
when due of all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, or to declare
an
Event of Default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other
amount.
Section

Section
10.9 Headings/Exhibits
. The
Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of
reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any
other
purpose. The Exhibits attached hereto, are hereby incorporated by
reference as a part of the Agreement with the same force and effect as if
set
forth in the body hereof.
Section
10.10 Severability
. Wherever
possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner
as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of
this
Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions
of this
Agreement.
Section
10.11 Preferences
. Upon
the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have
the
continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all
payments by Borrower to any portion of the Debt. To the extent
Borrower makes a payment to Lender, or Lender receives proceeds of any
collateral, which is in whole or part subsequently invalidated, declared
to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law,
common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds
received, the Debt or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived
and
continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not
been
received by Lender. This provision shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.
Section
10.12 Waiver
of Notice
. Borrower
shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender
except
with respect to matters for which this Agreement or any other Loan Document
specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower
and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to
applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of
notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any
notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which no Loan Document
specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to
Borrower.
-

Section
10.13 Remedies
of Borrower
. If
a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or any of its agents, including
Servicer, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case
where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent, as the
case
may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees
that
neither Lender nor its agents, including Servicer, shall be liable for any
monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be to commence an action
seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or
proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined
by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Borrower specifically
waives any claim against Lender and its agents, including Servicer, with
respect
to actions taken by Lender or its agents on Borrower’s behalf.
Section
10.14 Prior
Agreements
. This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the
parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, and all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations among
or
between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms
of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section
10.15 Offsets,
Counterclaims and Defenses
. Borrower
hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory
or
compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by
Lender or its agents, including Servicer, or otherwise offset any obligations
to
make payments required under the Loan Documents. Any assignee of
Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and
clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which Borrower may otherwise
have against any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, counterclaim
or
defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding
brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to
interpose or assert any such offset, counterclaim or defense in any such
action
or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section
10.16 Publicity
. All
news releases, publicity or advertising through any media intended to reach
the
general public (collectively, “Public Releases”) issued by
Borrower or its Affiliates that refer to the Loan Documents, the Loan, Lender
or
any member of the Indemnified Group, a Loan purchaser, the Servicer or the
trustee in a Securitization shall be subject to the prior written approval
of
Lender. Lender shall have the right to issue any Public Releases
without Borrower’s approval.
Section
10.17 No
Usury
. Borrower
and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable
United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract
for,
charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under
state
law) and that this Section 10.17 shall control every other agreement in
the Loan Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever
judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under
the
Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved
or
received with respect to the Debt, or if Lender’s exercise of the option to
accelerate the maturity of the Loan or
-
88
-
any
prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess
of
that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express
intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited
against the unpaid Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been
or
would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions
of the
Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter
collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of
any
new document, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to permit the
recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder. All
sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention
of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized,
prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan
until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of
the
Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect
and
applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is
outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity
of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or
to
collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
Section
10.18 Conflict;
Construction of Documents
. In
the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any
of
the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall
control. The parties hereto acknowledge that each is represented by
separate counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan
Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle
of
construing their meaning against the party that drafted them.
Section
10.19 No
Third Party Beneficiaries
. The
Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing
contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other
than
the Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance
or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.
Section
10.20 Spread
Maintenance Premium
. BORROWER
EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT, PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS
AGREEMENT, BORROWER HAS AGREED THAT BORROWER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT
OF
THE SPREAD MAINTENANCE PREMIUM TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED
HEREIN. FURTHERMORE, BORROWER WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE UNDER
SECTION 2954.10 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, OR ANY SUCCESSOR STATUTE, AND
BORROWER AGREES THAT IF A PREPAYMENT OF ANY OR ALL OF THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE
FOLLOWING ANY ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE BY LENDER ON ACCOUNT OF ANY
TRANSFER OR DISPOSITION PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED HEREIN OR BY THE MORTGAGE,
BORROWER SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO PAY CONCURRENTLY THEREWITH THE SPREAD MAINTENANCE
PREMIUM APPLICABLE THERETO. BORROWER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND
UNDERSTANDS THAT LENDER HAS MADE THE LOAN EVIDENCED HEREBY IN RELIANCE ON
THE
FOREGOING
-
89
-
AGREEMENTS
AND WAIVERS OF BORROWER, THAT LENDER WOULD NOT HAVE MADE THIS LOAN WITHOUT
SUCH
AGREEMENTS AND WAIVERS OF BORROWER, AND THAT THE MAKING OF THE LOAN AT THE
INTEREST RATE AND FOR THE TERMS SET FORTH HEREIN CONSTITUTES ADEQUATE
CONSIDERATION, GIVEN WEIGHT BY THE UNDERSIGNED, FOR SUCH AGREEMENTS AND
WAIVER. Such Spread Maintenance Premium shall be required
whether payment is made by Borrower, by a Person on behalf of Borrower, or
by
the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by
Lender
at such sale. Borrower further acknowledges that (A) it is a
knowledgeable real estate developer and/or investor; (B) it fully
understands the effect of the provisions of this Section 10.20, as well
as the other provisions of the Loan Documents; (C) the making of the Loan
by Lender at the Interest Rate and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents
are sufficient consideration for Borrower’s obligation to pay a Spread
Maintenance Premium (if required); and (D) Lender would not make the Loan
on the terms set forth herein without the inclusion of such
provisions. Borrower also acknowledges that the provisions of this
Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment
of the
Spread Maintenance Premium and other charges specified herein were independently
negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific material part of
the
consideration given by Borrower to Lender for the making of the Loan except
as
expressly permitted hereunder.
Section
10.21 Assignment
. The
Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations
and interests therein may be assigned by Lender and any of its successors
and
assigns to any Person at any time in its discretion, in whole or in part,
whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in
interest) or otherwise. Upon such assignment, all references to
Lender in this Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer
to
such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in
interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender. Borrower may
not assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement
or
under any of the Loan Documents except as specifically provided in Section
5.26.5 of this Agreement. In connection with any assignment, the
new Lender shall provide notice to Borrower of the identity, address and
other
pertinent information pertaining to the new Lender.
Section
10.22 Certain
Additional Rights of Lender
. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary which may be contained in this Agreement, Lender
shall
have:
(1) the
right to routinely consult with Borrower’s management regarding the significant
business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower,
provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions
of
environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous
substances. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no
less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special
meetings at any reasonable times;
(2) the
right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books
and
records of Borrower at any time upon reasonable notice;
-
90

(3) the
right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to receive financial
reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity
and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding
indebtedness;
(4) the
right on the terms set forth herein, without restricting any other rights
of
Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to restrict financing
to be obtained with respect to the Property so long as any portion of the
Debt
remains outstanding;
(5) the
right on the terms set forth herein, without restricting any other right
of
Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including any similar
right), to restrict, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event
of Default, Borrower’s payments of management, consulting, director or similar
fees to Affiliates of Borrower from the Rents;
(6) the
right on the terms set forth herein, without restricting any other rights
of
Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any
operating budget and/or capital budget of Borrower;
(7) the
right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement
(including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of
any
other significant property (other than personal property required for the
day to
day operation of the Property); and
(8) the
right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement
(including any similar right), to restrict the transfer of interests in Borrower
held by its members, and the right to restrict the transfer of interests
in such
member, except for any transfer that is a Permitted Transfer.
The
rights described above may be exercised directly or indirectly by any Person
that owns substantially all of the ownership interests in Lender. The
provisions of this Section 10.22 are intended to satisfy the
requirement of management rights for purposes of the Department of Labor
“plan
assets” regulation 29 C.F.R., Section 2510.3-101.
Section
10.23 Set-Off
. In
addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Loan Agreement
and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower,
any
such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by
applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder
(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off
and
appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any
other
credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct
or
indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held
or
owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account
of
Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such
set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give
such
notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application.

Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when
