the Loan and modifying any material terms of any servicing arrangement (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding decisions relating to the day-to-day administration and servicing of Loan); provided, that routine construction and loan administration related consents and decisions available to Seller under the Loan Documents (e.g., major trade contracts, change orders, etc.) shall not constitute material decisions so long as they do not materially affect the scope or nature of the project as a residential condominium building; it being agreed, for the avoidance of doubt, that any decision of Seller to pay or advance any sum of money under the Loan Documents (other than sums of money for which Borrower is required to reimburse the Mezzanine Lender in an amount not exceed $5,000 outstanding at any one time) shall constitute a material decision. Purchaser, at or prior to Closing, shall deliver the notice required to be delivered under Section 4(b) of the Intercreditor Agreement and shall deliver to Senior Lender any information and documentation requested by Senior Lender under such Section (and if such information and/or documentation is so requested, Purchaser shall provide evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that Senior Lender has so approved all such information and documentation so requested).
7.2 Intentionally Omitted.
7.3 IRS Reporting. Purchaser shall submit Internal Revenue Service Form 1098 and 1099 Information Returns for the Loan for the entire year of the year in which the Closing Date occurs, and Seller will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide necessary data for same.
7.4 Indemnitees and Guarantees. Nothing in this Agreement or any documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement will prejudice Seller from seeking the benefit of any environmental indemnity or guaranty delivered by any guarantor or indemnitor in connection with the Loan to the extent permitted by applicable law and by the terms of the applicable environmental indemnity or guaranty and provided further that the rights of the then holder of the Loan are not reduced or impaired in any material respect.
7.5 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall, at the reasonable request of the other, execute and deliver any further documents or agreements and take such further actions as may be reasonably required for carrying out the intentions or facilitating the consummation of this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 7.5 shall not obligate either party hereto to execute, acknowledge or deliver any further documents or agreements or take any action that would or might reasonably impose upon such party any additional material liability or obligations (beyond that imposed upon it under the documents delivered, or required to be delivered, by such party at the Closing, and the provisions of this Agreement which survive the Closing).
7.6 Survival. All the provisions in Sections 7.2 through and including 7.5 shall survive the Closing.

16
8.12 No Recording. Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum hereof may be recorded without first obtaining Seller’s consent thereto. The recording of this Agreement without Seller’s consent (to be exercised in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion) shall be a default by Purchaser hereunder.

8.14 Jurisdiction and Service of Process. The parties hereto agree to submit to non-exclusive jurisdiction in the State of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement and, in furtherance of such agreement, the parties hereby agree and consent that without limiting other methods of obtaining jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction over the parties in any such action or proceeding may be obtained within or without the jurisdiction of any court located in New York and that any process or notice of motion or other application to any such court in connection with any such action or proceeding may be served upon the parties by registered or certified mail to or by personal service at the last known address of the parties, whether such address be within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Each party hereto expressly waives any and all rights that it may have to make any objections based on jurisdiction or venue to any action brought to enforce this Agreement in any such court in accordance with the above provisions.
8.15 Confidentiality. Purchaser agrees that (i) all written documentation and other information furnished by (or on behalf of) Seller to Purchaser concerning the Loan or Property and (ii) the results of Purchaser's due diligence with respect to the Loan and/or the Property (all of the foregoing items and information in the preceding clauses (i) through (ii) being collectively referred to herein as the "Confidential Information"), shall be treated confidentially as hereinafter provided. Purchaser agrees (x) to keep all Confidential Information strictly confidential, and (y) not to use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than Purchaser’s acquisition of the Loan pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that (x) the Confidential Information may be disclosed to the directors, officers, employees, investors and partners of Purchaser, and to Purchaser's, lender, attorneys, accounting firm, architects and similar consultants (all of whom are collectively referred to as "Related Parties") who need to know such information in connection with Purchaser’s acquisition of the Loan; and (y) the term “Confidential Information” shall not include any information that is a matter of public record or is provided in other sources readily available to the public other than as a result of disclosure thereof by Purchaser or Related Parties. The Related Parties shall be informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and shall be directed in writing (or by e-mail) to keep all such information in the strictest confidence and not to use such information for any purpose unrelated to Purchaser’s acquisition of the Loan pursuant to this Agreement (and Purchaser shall be responsible for any failure by any of the Related Parties to keep such information confidential or for the use by any Related Parties of any Confidential Information for any purpose other than Purchaser’s acquisition of the Loan pursuant to this Agreement). The provisions of this Section 8.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, provided, however, except as set forth below, Purchaser shall have no obligations under this Section 8.15 that first arise from and after Closing.
17
8.16 Severability. In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
8.17 Broker. Each of Seller and Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the other that it has not dealt with any broker or finder in connection with the sale and purchase of the Loan hereunder. Each party agrees that it shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other party from and against any claim for a commission, fee or other compensation by reason of the sale and purchase of the Loan hereunder (including all costs and expenses associated with such claim, including reasonable attorneys’ fees), made by any other broker or other person with whom the indemnifying party has dealt and the other party has not dealt in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. This Section 8.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the Closing.
8.18 Intentionally Omitted.
8.19 Pre-Closing Transfer of Loan to Seller Affiliate. Seller may, at any time prior to Closing, transfer the Loan to a Seller Affiliate (as defined below), so long as, simultaneously with such transfer, (i) Seller assigns this Agreement to such Seller Affiliate, and (ii) such Seller Affiliate assumes all the obligations and liabilities of Seller under this Agreement. Upon (x) such a transfer and assignment to a Seller Affiliate, and (y) the assumption by such Seller Affiliate of the obligations and liabilities of Seller hereunder, such Seller Affiliate shall automatically become the “Seller” hereunder as if it originally executed this Agreement as “Seller” hereunder, although the Seller shall not be released from any obligations and liabilities under this Agreement. As used herein, “Seller Affiliate” means any entity that is directly or indirectly controlled or managed by Seller Parent or its affiliates.
8.20 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement, including the performance of the obligations of each of the parties hereunder; however, if the final date of any period which is set out in any provision of this Agreement falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then, in such event, the time of such period shall be extended to the next Business Day.
8.21 Attorneys’ Fees, Costs and Expenses. If either Seller or Purchaser commences an action against the other to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or because of a breach by either party of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the losing party will pay to the prevailing party reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the prosecution or defense of such action.
