-36-
ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall, by notice to Borrower (“Lender’s Notice”), which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such circumstances, establish the Applicable Interest Rate at a spread (the “Substitute Spread”) above a published index used for other variable rate loans and chosen by Lender (the “Substitute Rate”) such that such Substitute Rate shall yield to Lender a rate of return substantially the same as (but no less than) the rate of return Lender would have realized had the Applicable Interest Rate been the Eurodollar Rate, all as reasonably determined by Lender. If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Loan has been converted to a Substitute Rate Loan and Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower, and the Substitute Rate Loan shall automatically convert to a LIBOR Loan on the effective date set forth in such notice. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to convert a LIBOR Loan to a Substitute Rate Loan. If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan shall be cancelled forthwith and (ii) Lender may give Borrower a Lender’s Notice, establishing the Applicable Interest Rate at the Substitute Rate plus the Substitute Spread, in which case the Applicable Interest Rate shall be a rate equal to the Substitute Rate in effect from time to time plus the Substitute Spread.

Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be set forth in reasonable detail and Lender’s calculation shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(i) shall hereafter impose, modify, increase or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender or any Co-Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;
(ii) shall, if the Loan is then bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s or any Co-Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender or any Co-Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into
-37-
consideration Lender’s or any Co-Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender or any Co-Lender to be material; or
(iii) shall, if the Loan is then bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, hereafter impose on Lender or any Co-Lender any other condition, the result of which is to increase the cost to Lender or such Co-Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender or such Co-Lender (within ten (10) Business Days of Lender’s or such Co-Lender’s written demand therefor), any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender or such Co-Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender or such Co-Lender deems to be material in its reasonable discretion. If Lender or any Co-Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(c), Lender and such Co-Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ten (10) Business Days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event or circumstance by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender and such Co-Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender or such Co-Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Subject to Section 2.2.3(e) hereof, this provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(c) Subject to Section 9.4 hereof, after the occurrence of a Syndication of all or any portion of the Loan Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and the Co-Lenders and to hold Lender and the Co-Lenders harmless from any actual, out-of-pocket loss or expense which Lender or any Co-Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (I) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on the Loan while bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender or any Co-Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate, (II) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Loan on a day that (A) is not the Payment Date occurring on the last day of an Accrual Period with respect thereto or (B) is the Payment Date occurring on the last day of an Accrual Period with respect thereto if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender or any Co-Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate hereunder and (III) the conversion of the Applicable Interest Rate from the Eurodollar Rate to the Substitute Rate with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate on a date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Accrual Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender or any Co-Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (I), (II) and (III) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”). Subject to Section 2.2.3 hereof, this provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

-38-
Breakage Costs applicable to any portion of the Loan after the occurrence of a Securitization (other than a Syndication) of the entire Loan.
(d) Neither Lender nor the applicable Co-Lender shall be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 or Section 2.2.8 for any increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days before the date Lender or the applicable Co-Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender or the applicable Co-Lender under this Section 2.2.3 or Section 2.2.8, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error or (ii) any earlier date (but not earlier than the effective date of such change in law or circumstance) provided that Lender notified Borrower of such change in law or circumstance and delivered the written statement referenced in clause (i) within one ninety (90) days after Lender received written notice of such change in law or circumstance.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan, shall accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default until the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, unpaid interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Security Instrument. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default.
2.2.7 Late Payment Charge. If any Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount is not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date on which it is due or any other sums due under the Loan Documents (other than the payment of the balance of the principal sum of the Note due on the Maturity Date) are not paid by Borrower within five (5) days of written demand therefor,
-39-
Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
2.2.8 Indemnified Taxes. All payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, Indemnified Taxes. If any Indemnified Taxes are required by Applicable Law to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender or any Co-Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender or such Co-Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender or such Co-Lender (after payment of all Indemnified Taxes and all taxes with respect to such increased amounts) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder and due at that time. Whenever any Indemnified Tax is payable pursuant to Applicable Law by Borrower, Borrower shall send to Lender or the applicable Co-Lender an original official receipt if available, showing payment of such Indemnified Tax or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender or the applicable Co-Lender. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender and each Co-Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender or any Co-Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such Indemnified Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender or any Co-Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence. Each Lender and each Co-Lender (and any successor and/or assign of such Lender or such Co-Lender, as applicable) shall deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender or such Co-Lender, as applicable, becomes a party to this Agreement (i) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY (with all the requisite attachments) or Form W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, (ii) two duly completed copies of an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or (iii) in the case of a Lender or Co-Lender that is a foreign corporation claiming such an exemption under Section 881(c) of the Code, a duly completed certificate to the effect that such Lender or Co-Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of such Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code. Each entity required to deliver to Borrower a Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-8ECI or Form W-9 pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to Borrower two further copies of Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY or Form W-8ECI or Form W-9, or successor applicable forms, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to Borrower, or upon request by Borrower, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such entity from duly completing and delivering any such
-40-
form with respect to it, and such entity notifies Borrower; it being understood that in the case of any such event that prevents a Lender or Co-Lender from continuing to provide a Form W-8IMY establishing an exemption from withholding by the Borrower, the Borrower shall not be required to increase amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.2.8 by an amount greater than would have been required had such Lender or Co-Lender or an affiliate thereof not been acting as an intermediary with respect to such amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such entity fails to provide a duly completed Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or other applicable form and such entity is otherwise entitled under Applicable Law to receive payments under the Note without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and, under Applicable Law, in order to avoid liability for Indemnified Taxes, Borrower is required to withhold on payments made to such entity that has failed to provide the applicable form, Borrower shall be entitled to withhold the appropriate amount of Indemnified Taxes without grossing up such entity, provided that Borrower will make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the applicable certification. In such event, Borrower shall promptly provide to such entity evidence of payment of such Indemnified Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority and shall promptly forward to such entity any official tax receipts or other documentation with respect to the payment of the Indemnified Taxes as may be issued by the taxing authority.
2.2.9 Treatment of Certain Refunds or Credits. If Lender or Co-Lender (or any successor and/or assign of such Lender or such Co-Lender, as applicable) determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.2.8, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by or on behalf of Borrower under Section 2.2.8 with respect to Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such recovery), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including taxes) of such Lender or such Co-Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or such Co-Lender, agrees to repay to such Lender or such Co-Lender, as the case may be, the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such Lender or such Co-Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This section shall not be construed to require such Lender or such Co-Lender to make any claim for refund of Taxes or make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.
2.2.10 Usury Savings. This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be
-41-
amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3 Prepayments.
2.3.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.3.1 and in Section 2.3.2, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, prior to the Maturity Date. Borrower shall have no right to prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, prior to the Payment Date occurring in February 2008. On and after the Payment Date occurring in February 2008 Borrower may, upon at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Lender, prepay the Loan in whole but not in part at anytime, provided however if such prepayment occurs prior to the Payment Date occurring in August, 2008 (the “Permitted Prepayment Date”), Borrower shall also pay Lender the applicable Spread Maintenance Premium. On the Permitted Prepayment Date or on any date thereafter, Borrower may, at its option and upon at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Lender, prepay the entire Debt without payment of the Spread Maintenance Premium. Borrower may revoke any notice of prepayment at any time prior to the date of such prepayment. Borrower shall promptly reimburse Lender for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with any such revocation. In addition, Borrower agrees that (a) in the event that a prepayment shall be made during the period commencing on the first calendar day immediately following a Payment Date to, but not including, the LIBOR Determination Date in such calendar month, such payment shall be accompanied by a payment of interest on the amount of principal being prepaid that Lender determines would be payable by Borrower if such prepayment had been made on or after such LIBOR Determination Date but prior to the succeeding Payment Date calculated using a per annum interest rate equal to 6.25% plus the Eurodollar Spread (such amount, the “Estimated Interest Payment”). In the event that the Estimated Interest Payment paid by Borrower to Lender exceeds the amount that otherwise would have been payable by Borrower if the final interest payment amount was calculated based on the interest rate determined on the applicable LIBOR Determination Date (the “Actual Required Payment”), Lender shall refund to Borrower an amount equal to the Estimated Interest Payment minus the Actual Required Payment. In the event the Estimated Interest Payment paid by Borrower is less than the Actual Required Payment, Borrower shall, promptly upon demand by Lender, pay to Lender an amount equal to the Actual Required Payment minus the Estimated Interest Payment; (b) if such prepayment is made on a Payment Date, then in connection with such prepayment Borrower shall pay to Lender, simultaneously with such prepayment, all interest on the principal balance of the Note then being prepaid which would have accrued through the end of the Accrual Period then in effect notwithstanding that such Accrual Period extends beyond the date of such prepayment; and (c) subject to subsection (a) above, if such prepayment is made on a day other than a Payment Date, then in connection with such prepayment Borrower shall pay to Lender, simultaneously with such prepayment, all interest on the principal balance of the Note then being prepaid which would have accrued through the end of the Accrual Period then in effect notwithstanding that such Accrual Period extends beyond the date of such prepayment; provided, however, that if such date is a date on or after the LIBOR Determination Date in such calendar month and prior to the first day of the Accrual Period that commences in such calendar month, Borrower shall also pay to Lender in connection with such prepayment all interest on the
-42-
principal balance of this Note then being prepaid which would have accrued through the end of the next succeeding Accrual Period. Any prepayment received by Lender on a date other than a Payment Date shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan and shall be applied to the Debt on the next Payment Date.
2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On each date on which Borrower actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated, or does not elect, to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds together with (i) in the event that such Net Proceeds are received on or before a Payment Date, interest accruing on such amount calculated through and including the end of the Accrual Period in which such Monthly Payment Date occurs, or (ii) in the event that such Net Proceeds are received on a date after a Payment Date, interest accruing on such amount calculated through and including the end of Interest Period in which the next Payment Date occur. No Spread Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.3.2.
2.3.3 Prepayments After Default. If, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender or recovery shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.3.1 and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, (i) an amount equal to the greater of (a) one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan to be prepaid or satisfied, or (b) the Spread Maintenance Premium, (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount of principal being prepaid (including, without limitation, (x) in the event that such prepayment is received on or before a Payment Date, interest accruing on such amount calculated through and including the end of the Accrual Period in which such Payment Date occurs, or (b) in the event that such prepayment is received on a date after a Payment Date, interest accruing on such amount calculated through and including the end of Accrual Period in which the next Payment Date occurs), (iii) to the extent applicable, Breakage Costs and (iv) other amounts payable under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the amounts set forth in clause (i) above shall not be payable if the related payment is tendered on or after the Permitted Prepayment Date.
2.3.4 Making of Payments. Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the Note shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Lender by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on or prior to the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the Business Day immediately preceding such day.
2.3.5 Application of Principal Prepayments. All prepayments received pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be applied to the payments of principal due under the Loan in the inverse order of maturity.
-43-
Section 2.4 Interest Rate Cap Agreement. (a) Borrower shall purchase one or more Interest Rate Cap Agreements (i) for a period to expire on the initial Maturity Date, (ii) in a notional amount not less than the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, (iii) having a LIBOR strike price not greater than 6.25% and (iv) which otherwise comply with the requirements of this Section 2.4. Thereafter, Borrower shall purchase prior to each Extension Period, and shall maintain throughout the remaining term of the Loan, an Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Interest Rate Cap Agreements, or replacements, increases or amendments thereto, in a notional amount not less than the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan, for a period beginning on the first day of the applicable Extension Period and ending on the last calendar day of the Accrual Period in which the applicable Maturity Date occurs and otherwise complying with the requirements of this Section 2.4. Each Interest Rate Cap Agreement delivered after the initial Maturity Date shall provide for a LIBOR strike price not greater than 6.25%. The Counterparty shall be obligated under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to make monthly payments equal to the excess of one (1) month LIBOR over the applicable strike rate required pursuant to this subsection (a) calculated on the notional amount. The notional amount of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement may be reduced from time to time in amounts equal to any prepayment of the principal of the Loan in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof and Borrower may sell any such excess notional amount.
(b) Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender pursuant to a Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and any related guarantee, if any) and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement and notify the Counterparty of such collateral assignment (either in such Interest Rate Cap Agreement or by separate instrument). The Counterparty shall agree in writing to make all payments it is required to make under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement directly to the Deposit Account where such payments shall be applied in accordance with the terms of Section 3.3 of the Cash Management Agreement. At such time as the Loan is repaid in full, all of Lender’s right, title and interest in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall terminate and Lender shall promptly execute and deliver at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, such documents as may be required to evidence Lender’s release of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and to notify the Counterparty of such release.
(c) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify in any material respect any of its rights thereunder, without Lender’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.
(d) In the event of any downgrade or withdrawal of the rating of such Counterparty by any Rating Agency below the Minimum Counterparty Rating, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than thirty (30) days following receipt of notice of such downgrade or withdrawal with an Interest Rate Cap Agreement from an Acceptable Counterparty having a Minimum Counterparty Rating; provided, however, that if any Rating Agency withdraws or downgrades the credit rating of the Counterparty below the Minimum Counterparty Rating, Borrower shall not be required to replace the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement provided that within thirty (30) days following notice to
-44-
Borrower of such downgrade or withdrawal (y) such Counterparty or an Affiliate thereof posts additional collateral acceptable to the Rating Agencies from time to time securing its obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or (z) an Affiliate of such Counterparty with a Minimum Counterparty Rating delivers a guaranty acceptable to the Rating Agencies guaranteeing such Counterparty’s obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding any such downgrade or withdrawal, unless and until the Counterparty transfers the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to a replacement Acceptable Counterparty pursuant to the foregoing clause (z), the Counterparty will continue to perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if S&P or Fitch withdraws or downgrades the long-term credit rating of such Counterparty below “BBB-” or short term credit rating below “A-3”, or Xxxxx’x withdraws or downgrades the credit rating of such Counterparty below “A2” (if the Counterparty has only a long term rating from Xxxxx’x) or below “A3” or “P-2” (if the Counterparty has both long term and short term ratings from Xxxxx’x), Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than thirty (30) days following receipt of notice of such downgrade or withdrawal with an Interest Rate Cap Agreement from an Approved Counterparty having a Minimum Counterparty Rating. Failure to satisfy any of the foregoing shall constitute an “Additional Termination Event” as defined by Section 5(b)(v) of the ISDA Master Agreement, with the Counterparty as the “Affected Party.”
(e) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any Replacement Interest Cap Agreement as and when required hereunder, Lender may purchase such Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is paid by Borrower to Lender.
(f) In connection with an Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel from counsel (which may be in house counsel) for the Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:
(1) the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement;
(2) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent Organizational Documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;
(3) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap
-45-
Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and
(4) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting 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); or
(5) be in form and scope reasonably acceptable to Lender and otherwise satisfy then current market standards the holder of the Note customarily adheres with respect to Interest Rate Cap Agreement opinions.
Section 2.5 Release of Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.5, no repayment, or prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of any Lien of the Security Instrument on the Property.
2.5.1 Intentionally Deleted.
2.5.2 Release on Payment in Full. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all principal and interest due on the Loan (including by way of prepayment pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof) and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this Agreement, release the Lien of the Security Instrument on the Property and the other Loan Documents if not thereto for released and remit any remaining Reserve Funds to Borrower. Any release or assignment delivered by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be at Borrower’s sole cost and expense.

4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement, or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over Borrower or the Property or any of Borrower’s other assets, or any license or other approval required to operate the Property, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents have been obtained and is in full force and effect.

4.1.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is bound. To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.

The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of Cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition under the Bankruptcy Code or similar state bankruptcy or insolvency law has been filed against Borrower or to Borrower’s knowledge any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower nor to Borrower’s knowledge, any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor to its knowledge any of its constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under the Bankruptcy Code or similar state bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such constituent Persons.
4.1.7 Full and Accurate Disclosure. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading.

Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower from that set forth in said financial statements.

BORROWER COVENANTS
Section 5.1 Affirmative Covenants. From the Closing Date and until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Lien of the Security Instrument encumbering the Property (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:
5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. (a) Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises, and comply, in all material respects, with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and the Property. There shall never be committed by Borrower, nor shall Borrower permit, through the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts, any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property, any act or omission affording the federal government or any State or local government the right of forfeiture against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep the Property in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in this Agreement. Borrower shall keep the Property insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in this Agreement. Borrower shall operate the portions of the Property that are the subject of any O&M Program in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof in all material respects.
(b) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower or the Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that: (i) intentionally deleted; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all Applicable Laws; (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower or the Property; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender may apply any such security or part thereof, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal
-62-
Requirement is finally established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 5.1.2 and to the extent required by Applicable Law, Borrower shall pay all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof as the same become due and payable. Borrower shall furnish to Lender receipts, or other evidence for the payment of the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent (provided, however, that Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof). Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property, other than the Lien of the Security Instrument or the Permitted Encumbrances, and shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to the Property. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i) intentionally deleted; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all Applicable Laws; (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the Property; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon. Lender may apply such security or part thereof held by Lender at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the validity or applicability of such Taxes or Other Charges is established or the Property (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any danger of the Lien of the Security Instrument being primed by any related Lien.

Borrower shall cooperate fully with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or other Governmental Authority which may in any way materially and adversely affect the rights of Lender hereunder or any rights obtained by Lender under any of the other Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, permit Lender, at its election, to participate in any such proceedings.
5.1.7 Award and Insurance Benefits. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Awards or Insurance Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable in connection with the Property, and Lender shall be reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the payment by Borrower of the expense of an appraisal on behalf of Lender in case of Casualty or Condemnation affecting the Property or any part thereof) out of such Award or Insurance Proceeds.

(b) execute and deliver to Lender such documents, instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such other acts necessary or desirable, to evidence, preserve and/or protect the collateral at any time securing or intended to secure the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, as Lender may reasonably require including, without limitation, the authorization of Lender to file and/or the filing by Borrower of UCC financing statements, provided, however, that any such further assurances do not increase Borrower’s liabilities and obligations, or decrease any of Borrower’s rights, hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Without limitation to the foregoing, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to execute or file in the name of Borrower or without the signature of Borrower to the extent Lender may lawfully do so, and to file in the appropriate filing or recording offices, one or more financing statements or other instruments, to evidence more effectively the security interest of Lender in the Property. Borrower grants to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Lender pursuant to this Section 5.1.8(b); and
(c) do and execute all and such further lawful and reasonable acts, conveyances and assurances for the better and more effective carrying out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as Lender shall reasonably require from time to time, provided, however, that any such further assurances do not increase Borrower’s liabilities and obligations, or decrease any of Borrower’s rights, hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.

5.1.17 Leasing Matters. (a) With respect to the Property, Borrower may enter into a proposed Lease (including the renewal or extension of an existing Lease (a “Renewal Lease”)) without the prior written consent of Lender, provided such proposed Lease or Renewal Lease (i) provides for rental rates and terms comparable to existing local market rates and terms (taking into account the type and quality of the tenant) as of the date such Lease is executed by Borrower (unless, in the case of a Renewal Lease, the rent payable during such renewal, or a formula or other method to compute such rent, is provided for in the original Lease), (ii) is an arms-length transaction with a bona fide, independent third party tenant, (iii) does not, in Borrower’s commercially reasonable judgment, have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) is subject and subordinate to the Security Instrument and the lessee thereunder agrees to attorn to Lender, (v) is written on the standard form of lease approved by Lender (other than a Renewal Lease, which shall be in the form of the existing lease being renewed or extended and may include commercially reasonable modifications that do not alter in any material adverse respect the provisions relating to subordination and attornment or other form reasonably acceptable to Lender, or, with respect to any proposed Lease, factual information with respect to the tenant and other commercially reasonable modifications as reasonably determined by Borrower, provided that in no event shall such modifications alter in any material adverse respect the standard lease provisions relating to subordination and attornment), and (vi) is not a Major Lease. All proposed Leases which do not satisfy the requirements set forth in this Section 5.1.17(a) shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that any “month-to-month” license or similar agreement that is terminable on written notice of thirty (30) days or less shall not be considered a Lease for purposes of this Section 5.1.17 and shall not be subject to the prior approval of Lender so long as such license or similar agreement does not constitute a Major Lease. At Lender’s request, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of all Leases which are entered into pursuant to this Subsection together with Borrower’s certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of this Section 5.1.17.
(b) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform all the material obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of any of the Leases as security for the Debt; (ii) shall promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default or other material matters which Borrower shall send or receive with respect to the Leases; (iii) shall enforce all of the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the tenant thereunder to be observed or performed (except for termination of a Major Lease which shall require Lender’s prior written approval,
-70-
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); (iv) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (except Security Deposits shall not be deemed Rents collected in advance); (v) shall, immediately upon receipt, deposit all Lease Termination Payments into the Rollover/Replacement Reserve Account; (vi) shall not execute any other assignment of the lessor’s interest in any of the Leases or the Rents; and (vii) shall not (except as permitted in clause (c) below) consent to any assignment of any Leases or any subletting of the lesser of (x) the entire premises covered by a Major Lease or (y) one (1) full floor, without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(c) Borrower may, without the consent of Lender, amend, modify or waive the provisions of any Lease or terminate, reduce rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of, any Lease (including any guaranty, letter of credit or other credit support with respect thereto) or consent to any assignment or subletting thereof, provided that such Lease is not a Major Lease (or, with respect to the subletting of the premises covered by a Major Lease, such subletting is not of the entire premises covered by such Major Lease) and that such action (taking into account, in the case of a termination, reduction in rent, surrender of space or shortening of term, the planned alternative use of the affected space) does not in Borrower’s commercially reasonable judgment have a Material Adverse Effect, and provided that such Lease, as amended, modified or waived, or assigned or sublet, is otherwise in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement and any lease subordination agreement binding upon Lender with respect to such Lease. A termination of a Lease (other than a Major Lease) with a tenant who is in default beyond applicable notice and grace periods shall not be considered an action which has a Material Adverse Effect. Any amendment, modification, waiver, termination, rent reduction, space surrender or term shortening or assignment or subletting which does not satisfy the requirements set forth in this Subsection shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender and its counsel, at Borrower’s reasonable expense, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. At Lender’s request, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of all Leases, amendments, modifications and waivers which are entered into pursuant to this Section 5.1.17(c).
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, with respect to the Property, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, enter into, renew, extend, amend, modify, waive any provisions of, terminate, reduce rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of, any Major Lease or any instrument guaranteeing or providing credit support for any Major Lease, provided that no consent shall be required in connection with the exercise of a renewal or extension option of a Major Lease which is in all material respects on the same terms on which the tenant thereunder has the right to renew such Major Lease.
(e) Borrower shall hold any and all monies representing security deposits under the Leases, including any letters of credit delivered as security for a tenant’s obligation under a Lease (collectively, the “Security Deposits”), in accordance with Applicable Law and the terms of the respective Lease, and shall only release the Security Deposits in order to return a tenant’s Security Deposit to such tenant if such tenant is entitled to the return of the Security Deposit under the terms of the Lease. All right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all Security Deposits are hereby assigned to Lender as security for the Debt, subject to the rights of
-71-
the tenants under the related Leases. The following shall apply with respect to any Security Deposit equal to or greater than $300,000 for any Lease entered into by Borrower after the Closing Date:
(i) Subject to any applicable restrictions contained in Leases in effect as of the date hereof, all cash Security Deposits shall be deposited into the Deposit Account or another Eligible Account that is under the sole control of Lender. Within five (5) Business Days of Borrower’s written direction to Lender, Lender shall (1) deliver such Security Deposit to Borrower for repayment to the related tenant (to the extent the tenant is entitled to a refund of the Security Deposit under the terms of its Lease), or (2) so long as no Event of Default shall exist, deposit such Security Deposit into the Rollover/Replacement Reserve Account. Each such direction from Borrower, in order to be effective, shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate in the form attached hereto as Schedule XV certifying that the requested action is required (in the case of a refund) or authorized (in the case of a transfer to the Rollover/Replacement Reserve Fund);
(ii) In the case of a Security Deposit that is delivered in the form of a letter of credit in an amount equal to or greater than $300,000, the following provisions shall apply: Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, enforce the tenant’s obligations under the related Lease to cause the beneficiary of each such letter of credit (including any renewal, amendment, supplement or replacement thereof) to be Lender or Servicer (as designated by Lender) and shall deliver all original letters of credit to Lender within three (3) Business Days of Borrower’s receipt thereof. Within five (5) Business Days of Borrower’s written direction to Lender to draw upon any such letter of credit, Lender shall draw upon such letter of credit in accordance with the terms thereof. Each such written direction from Borrower, in order to be effective, shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate in the form attached hereto as Schedule XVI certifying that the letter of credit may be drawn upon pursuant to the terms of the related Lease. If Borrower is entitled under the terms of the related Lease to retain the proceeds of such draw, Lender shall deposit the proceeds derived from such draw into the Rollover/Replacement Reserve Account. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Lender shall in good faith determine that the conditions for drawing upon any such letter of credit may not have been satisfied, Lender may decline to draw upon any such letter of credit, provided that, if Lender shall make such determination and no Event of Default or Default shall exist, Borrower may, at its expense, require Lender to re-assign the beneficiary’s interest in such letter of credit to Borrower, in which case the following apply: (1) if Borrower shall draw upon such letter of credit within thirty (30) days of such re-assignment, Borrower shall deposit the proceeds thereof into the Deposit Account, and such proceeds shall remain on deposit in the Deposit Account until such time as Lender is reasonably satisfied that the related draw was permitted (at which time such proceeds shall be applied in accordance with the preceding sentence) and (2) if Borrower shall not draw upon such letter of credit within thirty (30) days of such re-assignment, Borrower shall, at its expense, immediately cause Lender to become the beneficiary under such letter of credit. Subject to the rights of Tenants under Leases, Lender may take such actions as it determines to be reasonably necessary to preserve any such letter of credit or the proceeds thereof for the benefit of Borrower or Lender,
-72-
including making any draws thereon in the event of any prospective non-renewal thereof or if any draws are otherwise permitted under such letter of credit or the related Lease.
(f) Lender shall, within ten (10) Business Days following written notice from Borrower execute and deliver non-disturbance agreements, in the form attached hereto as Schedule XVII (subject to commercially reasonable negotiations), with (i) the tenant under any Major Lease that is approved by Lender in accordance with this Section 5.1.17, (ii) any nationally recognized tenant under any other Lease entered into in accordance with this Section 5.1.17 and approved by Lender in accordance with this Section 5.1.17 or (iii) any other tenants to the extent approved by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, under any other Lease entered into in accordance with this Section 5.1.17 and approved by Lender in accordance with this Section 5.1.17.
(g) Intentionally deleted.
(h) Notwithstanding the provisions above, to the extent, if any, that Lender’s prior written approval is required pursuant to this Section 5.1.17, such request for approval shall be deemed approved if Lender shall have failed to notify Borrower of its approval or disapproval within ten (10) Business Days following Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s written request together with (if applicable) a copy of the proposed Lease, Renewal Lease, modification or other instrument requiring approval (and, if a Lease or a restatement of an existing Lease, a blacklined copy thereof showing changes to Borrower’s standard form) and any information or documentation which Lender may request in accordance with the next sentence (such ten (10) Business Day period, the “Leasing Approval Period”). Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall be required to provide Lender with such material information and documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender, in its reasonable discretion, including without limitation, lease comparables and other market information as reasonably required by Lender to reach a decision. In order to be effective for the purposes of triggering the time periods set forth above for Lender to respond, all requests by Borrower for approval pursuant to this Section 5.1.17(h) must contain the following in bold, capital letters in the request and on the envelope or wrapper enclosing such request: “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.1.17(h) OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN LENDER AND BORROWER. FAILURE BY LENDER TO RESPOND WITHIN TIME PERIODS REFERENCED IN SAID SECTION 5.1.17(h) MAY RESULT IN APPROVAL OF THE MATTERS REFERRED TO HEREIN.”
5.1.18 Management Agreement. (a) The Improvements on the Property are operated under the terms and conditions of the Management Agreement. In no event shall the management fees under the Management Agreement exceed four percent (4%) of the Gross Income from Operations derived from the Property. Borrower shall (i) diligently perform and observe all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement, on the part of Borrower to be performed and observed to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of Borrower under the Management Agreement and (ii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice by Manager to Borrower of any default by Borrower in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed and observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice. Borrower shall not surrender the Management
-73-
Agreement, consent to the assignment by Manager of its interest under the Management Agreement, or terminate or cancel the Management Agreement, or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Management Agreement, in any material respect, either orally or in writing; provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to terminate the Management Agreement without Lender’s prior written consent upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) Borrower delivers to Lender written notice of its intention to terminate the Management Agreement at least five (5) days prior to such termination; (ii) Borrower replaces Manager within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Management Agreement with a Qualified Manager pursuant to a Management Agreement; (iii) such Qualified Manager delivers to Lender an Assignment of Management Agreement substantially in the form of the Assignment of Management Agreement delivered to Lender by Manager on the date hereof; and (iv) if such replacement manager is an affiliate of Borrower, delivers to Lender an updated Insolvency Opinion acceptable to Lender. Borrower hereby assigns to Lender as further security for the payment of the Debt and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement, all the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrower to surrender the Management Agreement, or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Management Agreement, in any respect, and any such surrender of the Management Agreement, or termination, cancellation, material modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Management Agreement, without the prior consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect. If Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed beyond applicable notice and cure periods provided therein, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under the Management Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. Lender and any Person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Property at any time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice to Borrower and at reasonable hours for the purpose of taking any such action; provided, however, that Lender shall not take such action unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If Manager shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to Borrower of default under the Management Agreement beyond applicable notice and cure periods provided therein, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon; provided, however, that if the Manager is not then an Affiliated Manager and Lender shall within five (5) days of its receipt of Manager’s notice receive from Borrower a written notice disputing Manager’s notice and stating the basis of such dispute and that it will attempt to resolve its dispute with Manager, then Lender shall refrain from taking any action described in the immediately preceding sentence until the earlier of to occur of (x) the date that is thirty (30) days after Lender’s receipt of Manager’s notice of such default, and (y) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Manager could, under the Management Agreement, terminate the Management Agreement, assuming that the facts stated in Manager’s notice were true. Borrower shall not, and shall not permit Manager to, sub-contract any or all of its management responsibilities under the Management Agreement to a third party without the prior
-74-
written consent of Lender, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Borrower shall, from time to time (but not more frequently than once annually), use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from Manager such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Borrower with the terms of the Management Agreement as may be requested by Lender. Borrower shall exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of the Management Agreement upon demand by Lender made at any time within one (1) year of the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of Borrower, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. Such power of attorney shall not be exercisable by Lender unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this paragraph (i) shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to Lender, (ii) shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt, (iii) shall be secured by the lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and (iv) shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
(b) Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower, upon the request of Lender, shall terminate the Management Agreement and replace Manager, without penalty or fee, if at any time during the Loan: (a) an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, (b) there exists a material default by Manager under the Management Agreement, beyond any applicable cure and grace periods, (c) the Manager shall become insolvent or a debtor in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or (d) if at any time Manager has engaged in gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. Within thirty (30) days after Manager is removed, a Qualified Manager shall assume management of the Property pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement.

-75-
Lender’s reasonable belief that the Property is not in material compliance with all Environmental Laws non-compliance of which shall have a Material Adverse Effect, and share with Lender the reports and other results thereof, and Lender and other Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to rely on such reports and other results thereof; (vii) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all reasonable written requests of Lender to (A) reasonably effectuate remediation of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or from the Property to the extent required by any Environmental Law; and (B) comply with any Environmental Law; (viii) Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any tenant or other user of any of the Property from violating any Environmental Law; and (ix) Borrower shall immediately notify Lender in writing after it has become aware of (A) any presence or Release of Hazardous Materials in, on, under, from or migrating towards the Property in violation of any Environmental Law; (B) any non compliance with any Environmental Laws related in any way to the Property; (C) any actual or potential Environmental Lien; (D) any required or proposed remediation of environmental conditions relating to any of the Property; and (E) any written notice or other communication of which Borrower becomes aware from any source whatsoever (including but not limited to a Governmental Authority) relating in any way to Hazardous Materials in, on, under, from or to the Property.
(b) Upon Lender’s reasonable belief that the Property is not in compliance with all Environmental Laws in any material respect, Lender and any other Person designated by Lender, including but not limited to any representative of a Governmental Authority, and any environmental consultant, and any receiver appointed by any court of competent jurisdiction, shall have the right (subject to the rights of tenants under any Leases), but not the obligation, to enter upon the Property upon reasonable prior notice at all reasonable times to assess any and all aspects of the environmental condition of the Property and its use, including but not limited to conducting any environmental assessment or audit (the scope of which shall be determined in Lender’s reasonable discretion) and taking samples of soil, groundwater or other water, air, or building materials, and conducting other invasive testing. Borrower shall reasonably cooperate with and provide access to Lender and any such Person designated by Lender. Lender and such Persons shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to interfere with the activities of tenants and users of the Property.
5.1.20 Alterations. Borrower shall not be required to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any alterations to any Improvements except (i) as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (ii) with respect to alterations that may have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) which, in the aggregate, cost in excess of the Alteration Threshold Amount. If the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements at the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) shall at any time exceed (x) the Alteration Threshold Amount or (y) at anytime that the Mezzanine D Loan is outstanding, $1,000,000 (the amounts set forth in subsections (x) and (y) are referred to as the “Alteration Security Threshold”), Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower’ obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (A) Cash, (B) Governmental Securities, (C) other securities having a rating acceptable to lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned in connection with any Securitization, (D) completion bond issued by a financial institution having a rating by S&P of no less than A-1+ if the term of such bond is no
-76-

Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Alteration Security Threshold and applied from time to time at the option Lender to pay for such alterations or to terminate any of the alterations and restore the Property to the extent necessary to prevent any Material Adverse Effect.

(a) Borrower shall not sell, convey, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumber, pledge, assign, grant options with respect to, or otherwise transfer or dispose of (directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether or not for consideration or of record) the Property or any part thereof or any legal or beneficial interest therein (other than in connection with a Condemnation) or permit a Sale or Pledge of an interest in any Restricted Party (collectively, a “Transfer”), other than pursuant to Sections 5.2.10(c) and 5.2.11 hereof and Leases of space in the Improvements to tenants in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1.17 hereof and other than in connection with the creation of, and enforcement of the remedies available under, the Mezzanine Loan, without (i) the prior written consent of Lender and (ii) if a Securitization has occurred, delivery to Lender of written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that the Transfer will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings assigned to any Securities or the proposed rating of any Securities.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.2.10, (a) no transfer (whether or not such transfer shall constitute a Transfer) shall be made, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge and after review of the Annex to the Executive Order and any amendments or additions thereto, to any Prohibited Person and (b) in the event any transfer (whether or not such

A consent by Lender with respect to a transfer of the Property in its entirety to, and the related assumption of the Loan by, a Transferee pursuant to this Section 5.2.11 shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of Lender to consent to any subsequent transfer of the Property. Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, immediately upon a transfer of the Property to Transferee and the satisfaction of all of the above requirements, the named Borrower herein and any then existing Guarantor shall be released from all liability under the Loan Documents accruing after such transfer and which are not the result of any act or omission of Borrower, Guarantor and/or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Guarantor shall not be released from its liability under the Guaranty in connection with any such transfer unless a Replacement Guarantor shall assume all liability of Guarantor thereunder in a manner acceptable to Lender.

Borrower and Transferee shall pay in connection with each Transfer of the Property requiring Lender’s approval (i) a transfer fee equal to the lesser of (x) 0.125% of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and (y) $100,000, which amount shall be subject to change based upon a resizing of the Loan in accordance with Section 9.5; and (ii) all of Lender’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such Transfer, at the time of each such Transfer.

(i) comprehensive all risk insurance without an exclusion for wind peril on the Improvements and the Personal Property, in each case (A) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation, (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property waiving all coinsurance provisions; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of $100,000 (unless such insurance is provided by a blanket umbrella policy approved by Lender in writing in which case the deductible shall not exceed $100,000); and (D) providing coverage for contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements together with an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall
-82-
at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses. The above coverage shall include an endorsement requiring the insurer to pay the Full Replacement Cost notwithstanding the fact that the Property shall constitute a non-conforming use or structure. The Full Replacement Cost shall be redetermined from time to time (but not more frequently than once in any twenty-four (24) calendar months) at the request of Lender by an appraiser or contractor designated and paid by Borrower and approved by Lender, or by an engineer or appraiser in the regular employ of the insurer. After the first appraisal, additional appraisals may be based on construction cost indices customarily employed in the trade. No omission on the part of Lender to request any such ascertainment shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations under this Subsection;
(ii) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so called “occurrence” form with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability for all written and oral contracts; and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 10 of the Security Instrument to the extent the same is available;
(iii) business interruption/loss of rents insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a)(i); (C) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of eighteen (18) months from the date that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (D) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected gross income from the Property (on an actual loss sustained basis) for a period of eighteen (18) months. The amount of such business interruption/loss of rents insurance shall be determined prior to the Closing Date and at least once each year thereafter based on the greater of (x) Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income (but excluding any extraordinary and non-recurring revenues) from the Property for the succeeding eighteen (18) month period and (y) the highest gross income received during the term of the Note for any full calendar year prior to the date the amount of such insurance is being determined. All insurance proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this Section 6.1(a)(iii) shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured hereunder from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note and this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured hereunder on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note and this Agreement except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business interruption/loss of rents insurance;
-83-
(iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the insurance provided for in Section 6.1(c)(ii); and (B) the insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a)(i) shall be written in a so called builder’s risk completed value form covering 100% of the total costs of construction, with no exclusion for wind or terrorism (1) on a non reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i), (3) shall include permission to occupy the Property, and (4) shall contain an agreed amount endorsement waiving co insurance provisions;
(v) to the extent Borrower has any employees, workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the State in which the Property is located, and employer’s liability insurance with a limit of at least $2,000,000.00 per accident and per disease per employee, and $2,000,000.00 for disease aggregate in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its operation (if applicable);
(vi) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under Section 6.1(c)(i);
(vii) if any portion of the Improvements is at any time located in an area identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or any successor thereto as an area having special flood hazards pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended, or any successor law (the “Flood Insurance Acts”), flood hazard insurance of the following types and in the following amounts (A) coverage under Policies issued pursuant to the Flood Insurance Acts (the “Flood Insurance Policies”) in an amount equal to the maximum limit of coverage available for the Property under the Flood Insurance Acts, subject only to customary deductibles under such Policies and (B) coverage under supplemental private Policies in an amount not less than the amount of the Loan as each may be amended or such greater amount as Lender shall reasonably require;
(viii) earthquake, sinkhole and mine subsidence insurance, if such insurance is then regularly required by prudent institutional mortgage lenders for properties similar in size, location and quality as the Property, in amounts, form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, provided that the insurance pursuant to this Section 6.1(a)(viii) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the all risk insurance policy required under Section 6.1(a)(i) hereof;
(ix) umbrella liability insurance in an amount not less than One Hundred Million and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000,000) per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under Section 6.1(a) hereof;

(xi) parking garage liability coverage containing minimum limits per occurrence, including umbrella coverage of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000);
(xii) insurance against employee dishonesty in an amount not less than one (1) month of gross revenue from the Property and with a deductible not greater than One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000);
(xiii) so-called “dramshop” insurance of other liability insurance required in connections with the sale of alcoholic beverages;
(xiv) if “acts of terrorism” or other similar acts or events or “fire following” are hereafter excluded from Borrower’s comprehensive all risk insurance policy or policies required under Sections 6.1(a)(i) and 6.1(a)(iii) above, Borrower shall obtain an endorsement to such policy or policies, or a separate policy from an insurance provider which maintains at least an investment grade rating from S&P (that is, “BBB-”) and, if they are rating the Securities and if they rate the insurer from Fitch (that is, “BBB-”) and from Xxxxx’x (that is, “Baa3”), insuring against all such excluded acts or events and “fire following”, to the extent such policy or endorsement is available, in an amount determined by Lender in its sole discretion (but in no event more than an amount equal to the sum of 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost” and eighteen (18) months business interruption insurance), provided, however, Borrower shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of the Terrorism Insurance Cap for the coverage required under this Section 6.1(a)(xiv) for the Property, it being agreed that the endorsement or policy shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as TRIA is in effect (including any extensions or if another federal governmental program is in effect which provides substantially similar protections as TRIA), Lender shall accept terrorism insurance which covers against “covered acts” as defined by TRIA (or such other program) as full compliance with this Section 6.1(a)(xiv) as it relates to the risks that are required to be covered; and
(xv) such other insurance and in such 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.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), in such forms and, from time to time after the date hereof, in such amounts as may be satisfactory to Lender, issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State in which the Property is located and approved by Lender. The insurance companies must have a claims paying ability/financial strength rating of “A-/A2” (or its equivalent) or better by at least two (2) Rating Agencies (one of which will be S&P if they are rating the Securities and one of
-85-
which shall be Xxxxx’x if they are rating the Securities), or if only one Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then only by such Rating Agency (each such insurer shall be referred to below as a “Qualified Insurer”), provided that if any insurance required is provided by a syndicate of insurers, the insurers with respect to such insurance shall be acceptable if there are five (5) or more insurers, 60% of the insurance providers must carry a minimum financial strength rating from S&P of “A-” or better with no insurer rated less than “BBB”. Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 (a), Borrower shall deliver either (i) certified copies of the Policies marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), or (ii) Xxxxx certificates evidencing the effectiveness of the required Policies and payment of Insurance Premiums, provided, however, that Borrower shall provide certified copies of the Policies to Lender promptly upon Borrower’s receipt thereof and in any event within ninety (90) days of the effective date of such Policies.
(c) Borrower shall not obtain (i) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, such Policy is approved in advance in writing by Lender and Lender’s interest is included therein as provided in this Agreement and such Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer, or (ii) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Section 6.1 (a) to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, Borrower. In the event Borrower obtains separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket policy, Borrower shall notify Lender of the same and shall cause certified copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in Section 6.1 (a). Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1 (a). Notwithstanding Lender’s approval of any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy hereunder, Lender reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to require Borrower to obtain a separate Policy in compliance with this Section 6.1.
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1 (a) hereof, except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name Lender and Borrower as the insured or additional insured, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, and flood insurance, shall contain a so called New York standard non- contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All Policies provided for in Section 6.1 (a) hereof shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or cancelled without at least 30 days’ written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an insured or additional insured;
-86-
(iii) each Policy shall provide that the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(g) In the event of a foreclosure of the Security Instrument, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force and all proceeds payable thereunder allocable to the Property shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(h) Upon the written request of Lender, Borrower shall furnish to Lender, on or before thirty (30) days after the close of each of Borrower’s Fiscal Years, a statement certified by Borrower or a duly authorized officer of Borrower of the amounts of insurance maintained in compliance herewith, of the risks covered by such insurance and of the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance and, if requested by Lender, verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Lender.
Section 6.2 Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall, provided the Net Proceeds are made available by Lender for such Restoration pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.
Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of all or any part of the Property of which Borrower has received written notice of and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings during the continuance of an Event of Default or where such proceedings involve an Award in excess of $500,000, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings during
-87-
the continuance of an Event of Default or where such proceedings involve an Award in excess of $500,000. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall, provided that the Net Proceeds are made available by Lender to Borrower pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
Section 6.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Threshold Amount and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold Amount, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold Amount or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold Amount, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The term “Net Proceeds” shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (with respect to casualty insurance only) (x) 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 (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than forty percent (40%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or
-88-
(2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;
(C) Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than seventy percent (70%) of the total rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and Borrower furnishes to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that all tenants under Major Leases shall continue to operate their respective space at the Property after the completion of the Restoration;
(D) Subject to Force Majeure, Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion in compliance with all Applicable Laws including, without limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws;
(E) 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 Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii), if applicable, (3) by other funds of Borrower or (4) such other collateral reasonably acceptable to Lender delivered by Borrower to Lender to secure the obligation of Borrower to pay such operating deficits provided that in no event shall Lender be obligated to accept such collateral if any REMIC Trust formed pursuant to a Securitization will fail to maintain its status as a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code as a result of such collateral being delivered to Lender;
(F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be substantially completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) twelve (12) months after the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, (3) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases which are required in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) to remain in effect subsequent to the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation and the completion of the Restoration, (4) such time as may be required under Applicable Law in order to repair and restore the Property to the substantially the same condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation or (5) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii); provided, however, that the requirements set forth in this
-89-
subsection (F) shall be subject to Force Majeure but in no event shall Lender be obligated to make any Net Proceeds available if Lender is not satisfied that the Restoration will be substantially completed on or before the Maturity Date notwithstanding the occurrence of any Force Majeure;
(G) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all Applicable Laws;
(H) Lender shall be satisfied that the Gross Income from Operations of the Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period following the completion of the Restoration will be restored to a level sufficient to cover all carrying costs and operating expenses of the Property for such twelve (12) month period, including, without limitation, debt service on the Note at a coverage ratio (after deducting all required reserves as required by Lender from net operating income) of at least equal to or greater than the lesser of (i) 1.25x and (2) the coverage ratio that existed prior to the related Casualty or Condemnation, which coverage ratio shall be determined by Lender in its sole discretion on the basis of the Applicable Interest Rate;
(I) any operating deficits which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii), or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(J) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the total loss of access to the Property or the related Improvements;
(K) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Lender;
(L) the Net Proceeds together with any Cash or Cash Equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration; and
(M) the Management Agreement in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall (1) remain in full force and effect during the Restoration and shall not otherwise terminate as a result of the Casualty or Condemnation or the Restoration or (2) if terminated, shall have been replaced with a Replacement Management Agreement with a Qualified Manager, prior to the opening or reopening of the Property or any portion thereof for business with the public.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be promptly disbursed by Lender to, or as directed
-90-
by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (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 which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(iii) In the event the total cost of Restoration is $500,000.00 or more, all plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%), of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate 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 for the Property, and Lender receives an endorsement to such
-91-
Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the Lien of the Security Instrument and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, if any, 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 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, 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; provided, however, the amount of such excess returned to Borrower in the case of a Condemnation shall not exceed the amount of Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited by Borrower with the balance being applied to the Debt in the manner provided for in subsection 6.4(c).
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration in accordance with either Section 6.4(a) or (b) (due to the fact that Borrower has not satisfied one or more of the provisions of such Sections) or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, 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 approve, in its discretion. If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the Lien of the Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt.
(d) Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 6.1(a)(iii) and provided no Event of Default exists hereunder, proceeds received by Lender on account of the business interruption insurance specified in Subsection 6.1(a)(iii) above with respect to any Casualty shall
-92-
be deposited by Lender directly into the Deposit Account 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 insurance company would have been due under such Leases (and then only to the extent such proceeds disbursed by the insurance company reflect a replacement for such past due Rents) and (b) only to the extent necessary to fully make the disbursements required by Section 3.3(a)(i) through (vii) of the Cash Management Agreement for the period that such business interruption insurance proceeds relate to. Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided no Event of Default exists, in the event Lender receives any business interruption insurance proceeds that relate to any period prior to Lender’s receipt of such proceeds, Lender shall use such business interruption insurance proceeds to reimburse Borrower for deposits required by Section 3.3(a)(i) through (vi) of the Cash Management Agreement during such period and which deposits or payments were actually paid by Borrower during such period.

-95-
(ii) With respect to all Leasing Expenses, at Lender’s option, Lender may reasonably require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a disbursement in order to verify completion of improvements for which payment or reimbursement is sought.
(b) (i) With respect to disbursements from the Rollover/Replacement Reserve Fund for Replacements incurred by Borrower, in no event shall the total amount of disbursements from Rollover/Replacement Reserve Account with respect to Replacements be less than the Minimum Replacement Disbursement Amount. Lender shall make disbursements from the Rollover/Replacement Reserve Account for Replacements from time to time upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (A) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Replacements to be paid, (B) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (C) Lender shall have received an Officers’ Certificate in the form attached hereto as Schedule XIV (1) stating that all Replacements at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been or will be completed in good and workmanlike manner and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, in accordance with all Legal Requirements and Environmental Laws, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority if required to commence and/or complete the Replacements, (2) identifying each Person that supplied or will supply materials or labor in connection with the Replacements performed or to be performed at the Property with respect to the payments or reimbursement to be funded by the requested disbursement, and (3) stating that each such Person has been or will be paid in full (for all sums then due and payable) upon such disbursement, such Officers’ Certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or, to the extent final payment has not been made to a Person, other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all sums due and payable will be paid, (D) at Lender’s option and if the cost of such Replacements exceeds $250,000, 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 (E) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Replacements at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been or will be completed and has been or will be paid for upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Rollover/Replacement Reserve Account with respect to Replacements at the Property unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than $5,000 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Rollover/Replacement Reserve Account is less than $5,000, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made). Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Rollover/Replacement Reserve Account with respect to Replacements at the Property in excess of the amount deposited by Borrower. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Rollover/Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property.
(ii) (A) Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep the Property in condition and repair consistent with similar office buildings in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the Property is located, and to keep the Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all
-96-
Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.
(B) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Replacements costing, in the aggregate, in excess of (1) $500,000 or (2) for so long as the Mezzanine Loan D is outstanding, $250,000. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender. Any approval required of Lender pursuant to this Section 7.4.2(b) shall be deemed to have been given if Lender shall have failed to notify Borrower of its approval or disapproval within ten (10) Business Days following Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s written request together with a true, accurate and complete copy of the contract work order in question. In connection with its review of a contract or work order, Lender may request to receive any and all material information and documentation relating thereto reasonably required by Lender to reach a decision.

FAILURE BY LENDER TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF THE DATE HEREOF SHALL RESULT IN THE APPROVAL OF THE MATTERS REFERRED TO HEREIN.”
(C) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender shall have the option without providing any prior notice to Borrower to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and, subject to the cure periods set forth in Section 8.1(a)(xxi) hereof, to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Rollover/Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
(D) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of the Replacements pursuant to Section 7.4.2(b)(ii)(C) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make the Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage provided, however, that Lender shall not exercise such right unless an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Rollover/Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Security Instrument. For this
-97-
purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney in fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said attorney in fact as follows: (1) to use any funds in the Rollover/Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing the Replacements; (2) to make such additions, changes and corrections to the Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Replacements; (3) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (4) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Replacements, or for clearance of title; (5) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (6) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (7) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not exercise such power of attorney unless an Event of Default exists.
(E) Nothing in this Section 7.4.2 shall: (1) make Lender responsible for making or completing the Replacements; (2) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Rollover/Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (3) obligate Lender to proceed with the Replacements; or (4) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.
(F) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other Liens, subject to Borrower’s right to contest such Liens as set forth in Section 8.1(a)(xiii) hereof.
(G) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under Applicable Law in connection with a particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Upon request, certified copies of such policies or certificates evidencing the effectiveness of such policies and the payment of premiums thereunder shall be delivered to Lender.
(iii) (A) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.4 and such failure is not cured within sixty (60) days after notice from Lender, subject to extension as is reasonably necessary
-98-
for Borrower to exercise due diligence to cure or due to Force Majeure. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may use the Rollover/Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Sections 7.4.2(b)(ii)(C) and (D), or for any other repair or replacement to the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Rollover/Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(B) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Rollover/Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.
(c) The insufficiency of any balance in the Rollover/Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.7.1, Borrower’s obligation to make any deposits into the Debt Service Shortfall Reserve Fund shall be waived (and if Debt Service Shortfall Reserve Funds are on deposit, Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw the amounts deposited therein) if Borrower delivers to Lender a Letter of Credit in the face amount of the amount required to be on deposit with Lender in the Debt Service Shortfall Reserve Fund.
7.7.2 Withdrawals from the Debt Service Shortfall Reserve Fund. Lender shall make disbursements from the Debt Service Shortfall Reserve Fund from time to time as follows: If, on any Payment Date, the amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Shortfall Reserve Account are not sufficient to pay the amounts payable on any Payment Date pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(iii) and (vi) of the Cash Management Agreement, then Lender shall, and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Borrower to pay such shortfall (or so much thereof as may be paid from amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Shortfall Reserve Account if the amount on deposit in the Debt Service Shortfall Reserve Account is less than the amount necessary to pay such shortfall). Except in connection with the exercise of any Extension Option, Borrower shall not have an obligation to replenish amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Shortfall Reserve Account.
Section 7.8 Reserve Funds, Generally. (a) Borrower grants to Lender a first priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and the related Accounts and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund and related Account as
-99-
additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds and the related Accounts shall constitute additional security for the Debt.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have no obligation to disburse any Reserve Funds, and Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion. Lender shall have no obligation to advance funds from any particular Account in excess of the amount on deposit in such Account.
(c) The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.
(d) The Reserve Funds may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with, and to the extent permitted by, the Cash Management Agreement, and all earnings or interest on a Reserve Fund shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund.
(e) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or related Account or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto or any right of the depositary bank or securities intermediary to be paid ordinary fees and charges for such Account, for which there may be a set-off right.
(f) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all Losses arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the related Accounts or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds or the related Accounts were established, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender, its agents or employees. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds or the related Accounts; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

Lender shall not be
-100-
required to exercise its rights under Section 7.9.3 below in order to prevent any such Event of Default from occurring and shall not be liable for any losses due to the insolvency of the issuer of the Letter of Credit as a result of any failure or delay by Lender in the exercise of such rights, but if Lender draws on the Letter of Credit and the issuer honors such draw and no Event of Default shall exist, Lender shall deposit the proceeds of such draw into the Reserve Fund with respect to which such Letter of Credit was originally established.
7.9.3 Security for Debt. Each Letter of Credit delivered under this Agreement shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt.

(xxiii) if Borrower shall continue to be in Default under any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement not specified in subsections (i) to (xxii) above or (xxiv) below, for ten (10) days after notice to Borrower from Lender, in the case of any Default which can be cured by the payment of a sum of money, or for thirty (30) days after notice from Lender in the case of any other Default; provided, however, that if such non monetary Default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period and provided further that Borrower shall have commenced to cure such Default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Default, such additional period not to exceed ninety (90) days; or
(xxiv) if there shall be default under the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable notice and cure periods contained in such documents, whether as to Borrower or the Property, or if any other such event shall occur or condition shall exist, if the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt or to permit Lender to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Debt.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vi) or (vii) above) and at any time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other 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, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and any part of the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vi) or (vii) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.2 Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Property or any other Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, without impairing or
-105-
otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by Applicable Law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the other Collateral and the Security Instrument has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property or any other Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Security Instrument as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instrument and not previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right, from time to time, to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, deeds of trust, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower 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 the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. The Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and
-106-
remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one or more Defaults or Events of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
ARTICLE IX
SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 Sale of Notes and Securitization. Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities (the “Securities”) evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (a “Securitization”) (such sales, participations and/or Securitizations, collectively, a “Secondary Market Transaction”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall endeavor, but shall have no obligation, to provide Borrower with ten (10) days prior notice of any Secondary Market Transaction for which Provided Information is, or is expected to be, requested and provide Borrower with the type of Secondary Market Transaction that is occurring, or is expected to occur. At the request of the holder of the Note and, to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall, at such noteholder’s expense to the extent and as set forth in Section 9(g) hereof, use reasonable efforts to provide information in the possession or control of Borrower and not in possession of Lender or which may reasonably be required to satisfy the market standards to which the holder of the Note customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with a Securitization or the sale of the Note or the participations or Securities, including, without limitation, to:
(a) (i) provide such financial and other information with respect to the Property, Borrower, Manager and Guarantor, including but not limited to updated financial and operating statements currently created during the ordinary course of business, (ii) provide budgets relating to the Property and (iii) to perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted such site inspection, 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 or the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization (the “Provided Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification and/or consents of the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys reasonably acceptable to Lender and acceptable to the Rating Agencies;
(b) if required by the Rating Agencies, deliver (i) a revised Insolvency Opinion, (ii) revised opinions of counsel as to due execution and enforceability with respect to the Property, Borrower, Guarantor, Principal and their respective Affiliates and the Loan
-107-
Documents, and (iii) revised Organizational Documents for Borrower, Guarantor, Principal and their respective Affiliates (including, without limitation, such revisions as are necessary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.1.35 hereof), which counsel, opinions and Organizational Documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and satisfactory to the Rating Agencies;
(c) if required by the Rating Agencies, request 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 satisfactory to the Rating Agencies;
(d) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and Organizational Documents as may be requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the Securitization; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (except for modifications and amendments required to be made pursuant to Section 9.1(e) below) (i) change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, (ii) modify or amend any other material economic term of the Loan or (iii) otherwise increase the obligations or liabilities or decrease the rights of Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents;
(e) if Lender elects, in its sole discretion, prior to or upon a Securitization, to split the Loan into two or more parts, or the Note into multiple component notes or tranches which may have different interest rates, amortization payments, principal amounts and maturities, Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender in connection with the foregoing and to execute the required modifications and amendments to the Note, this Agreement and the Loan Documents and to provide opinions necessary to effectuate the same. Such Notes or components may be assigned different interest rates, so long as the initial weighted average of such interest rates does not exceed the Applicable Interest Rate and the monthly debt service payments do not exceed the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (except for modifications and amendments described in this Section 9.1(e)) (i) change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, (ii) modify or amend any other material economic term of the Loan or (iii) otherwise increase the obligations or liabilities or decrease the rights of Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents; and
(f) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the Property, Borrower, and the Loan Documents as are customarily provided in securitization transactions and as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies and 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 Loan Documents.
(g) Lender shall pay for any third-party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with Borrower’s complying with the requests made under this Section 9.1, other than Borrower’s legal fees and expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Article IX, in no event shall Borrower be obligated to pay for any costs and expenses incurred by Lender or by Borrower, other than Borrower’s legal fees, in connection with a Securitization
-108-
other than any costs and expenses incurred by Lender due to Borrower’s failure to perform or comply with Borrower’s agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents relating to documents, instruments or other items required to be delivered or produced by Borrower.
Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification. (a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without limitation, a prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum, offering circular or other offering document (each a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings (an “Exchange Act Filing”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to Investors or prospective Investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower 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.
(b) Borrower agrees to provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, or (iii) collateral and structured term sheets or similar materials, an indemnification certificate (A) certifying that Borrower has carefully examined the relevant portions of such memorandum or prospectus or term sheets, as applicable, which relate to Borrower and its Affiliates or the Property, including without limitation, the sections entitled “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgages,” “Description of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Property,” and “The Borrower” and such sections (and any other sections reasonably requested) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC (“Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx”) that has filed the registration statement relating to the Securitization (the “Registration Statement”), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person who controls the Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group”), and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, each of its directors and each Person who controls Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any Losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group or the Underwriter 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 such sections described in clause (A) above, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in such sections or in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group and the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case
-109-
under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such Liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the memorandum or prospectus 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 indemnification will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in Clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not an indemnification certificate described in (A) above is provided and shall be applicable based on information previously provided by Borrower or its Affiliates if Borrower does not provide the indemnification certificate; provided, however. Borrower shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Liabilities relate solely to errors or omissions contained in documents prepared by a Person other than Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or any of their Affiliates, unless Borrower knew or should have known about such error or omission.
(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower agrees to indemnify (i) Lender, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or actual omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated in the Provided Information in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 9.2 the indemnifying party shall not 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 the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to
-110-
otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one such separate counsel (in addition to indemnifying party’s own attorneys) regardless of the number of indemnified parties.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnifications provided for in Section 9.2(b) or (c) is or are for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any Liability (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Liability (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx’x and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which 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 solely by pro rata or per capita allocation.
(f) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
Section 9.3 Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender, and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall not be responsible for any set-up fees or any regular monthly servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.
Section 9.4 Exculpation. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Security Instrument or in the other Loan Documents, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents (other than the Environmental Indemnity and the Guaranty) by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, action for specific performance or other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument, the other Loan Documents, and the interest in the Property, the Rents and any other collateral given to Lender created by this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender. Lender, by accepting this Agreement, the Note and the Security Instrument, agrees that it shall not, except as otherwise provided in the Security Instrument, xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding,
-111-
under or by reason of or under or in connection with this Agreement, the Note, the other Loan Documents or the Security Instrument. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by this Agreement, the Note, the other Loan Documents or the Security Instrument; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for judicial foreclosure and sale under the Security Instrument; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any indemnity (including, without limitation, the Environmental Indemnity), guaranty (including, without limitation, the Guaranty), master lease or similar instrument made in connection with this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument, or the other Loan Documents; (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases and Rents executed in connection herewith; (vi) impair the right of Lender to enforce the provisions of Sections 9.9 and 10.2 of the Security Instrument (to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property) or Sections 4.1.8, 4.1.28, 5.1.9 and 5.2.8 hereof (to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property); or (vii) impair the right of Lender to obtain a deficiency judgment or other judgment on the Note against Borrower if necessary to obtain any Insurance Proceeds or Awards to which Lender would otherwise be entitled under the Security Instrument; provided however, Lender shall only enforce such judgment to the extent of the Insurance Proceeds and/or Awards.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.4 to the contrary, Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for the Losses it incurs due to: (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or its Affiliates in connection with the execution and the delivery of this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents; (ii) Borrower’s misappropriation of Rents received by Borrower during the continuance of an Event of Default; (iii) Borrower’s misappropriation of Security Deposits or Rents collected more than thirty (30) days in advance; (iv) Borrower’s misappropriation of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards; (v) Borrower’s failure to pay Taxes, Other Charges or Lien Charges (except to the extent that sums sufficient to pay such amounts have been deposited in escrow or reserved pursuant to the terms of Section 7.2 hereof and except to the extent that such failure to pay such Taxes, Other Charges or Lien Charges is due solely to the failure of the Property to generate Gross Income from Operations sufficient to pay such Taxes, Other Charges or Lien Charges when due); (vi) Borrower’s failure to return or to reimburse Lender for all material Personal Property taken from the Property by or on behalf of Borrower and not replaced with Personal Property of the same utility and of the same or greater value (provided the replacement shall not be required if such Personal Property is no longer required for the operation of the Property); (vii) any act of intentional physical waste or arson by Borrower, or Principal, or any Affiliate thereof or by Guarantor; (viii) any Event of Default under Article 7 of the Security Instrument or any material Event of Default under Sections 4.1.35 (but excluding Sections 4.1.35(g) and (r) hereof), or in the event of Principal’s material default under Section 4.1.35 (but excluding Sections 4.1.35(g) and (r)) of this Agreement; or (ix) the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in, or Borrower’s failure to comply with the provisions of, Sections 4.1.39 or 5.1.19 hereof; and (ix) Borrower’s indemnification of Lender set forth in Section 9.2 hereof.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the agreement of Lender not to pursue recourse liability as set forth in Subsection (a) above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect (i) in the event of the existence of an Event of Default
-112-
under Section 5.2.10 hereof or in the event of an Event of Default under Section 5.2.1 of this Agreement arising out of a voluntary Lien, (ii) Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any subordinate financing or other voluntary Lien encumbering the Property, (iii) Borrower files a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (iv) an Affiliate, officer, director, or representative which controls, directly or indirectly, Borrower files, or joins in the filing of, an involuntary petition against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower from any Person; (v) Borrower files an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition from any Person; (vi) any Affiliate, officer, director, or representative which controls Borrower consents to or acquiesces in or joins in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the Property; or (vii) Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due.
(d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111 (b) or any other provision of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the indebtedness secured by the Security Instrument or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the indebtedness owing to Lender in accordance with this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement the Note, the Security Instrument, or the other Loan Documents, no direct or indirect, parent, shareholder, partner, members, principal, affiliate, employee, officer, director, agent or representative of Borrower (excluding the Guarantor and Indemnitors in their respective capacities as guarantors/indemnitors under the Loan but including the direct or indirect shareholders, partners, members, principals, affiliates, employees, officers, directors, agents or representatives of the Guarantor and Indemnitors) (each a “Related Party”) shall have any personal liability for, nor be joined as a party to any action (except as required by any Legal Requirement) with respect to (i) the payment of any sum of money which is or may be payable hereunder or under the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the repayment of the Debt, or (ii) the performance or discharge of any covenants, obligations or undertakings of Borrower or any Related Party with respect thereto. In addition to the foregoing, anything in the Note, the Security Instrument, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event will the assets of any Related Party (including any distributions made by Borrower or the Guarantor to their direct or indirect members, partners or shareholders) be available to satisfy any obligation of Borrower in respect of the Debt or other obligations secured by the Property.
Section 9.5 Resizing. Borrower further agrees that if, in connection with the Securitization or Syndication, it is determined by the Rating Agencies or Lender that a portion of the Securitization would not receive an “investment grade” rating unless the principal amount of the Loan were to be decreased and, as a result, the principal amount of the Loan is decreased,
-113-
then, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, (i) Borrower shall take all actions as are reasonably necessary to effect the “resizing” of the Mezzanine Loan and the Loan, including creating one or more additional mezzanine loans secured by the direct or indirect ownership interests in Borrower (collectively, “Resizing Mezzanine Loan”), (ii) Borrower shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Mezzanine Borrower to comply with its agreements to effect a “resizing”, and (iii) Lender shall on the date of the “resizing” of the Loan lend to Mezzanine Borrower or the holder or holders of the direct or indirect ownership interests of Mezzanine Borrower (collectively, “Resizing Mezzanine Borrower”) such additional amount equal to the amount of the principal reduction of the Loan provided that Borrower and Mezzanine Borrower execute and deliver any and all reasonably necessary amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents and the Mezzanine Loan Documents and Resizing Mezzanine Borrower executes and delivers any and all reasonably necessary documents to evidence such Resizing Mezzanine Loans, which documents shall be on substantially the same forms as the Mezzanine Loan Documents with such changes or modifications thereto as the parties may reasonably agree upon. In addition, Borrower and Lender agree that if, in connection with the Securitization, it is determined by the Rating Agencies or Lender that, if the principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan was decreased and, as a result the principal amount of the Loan was increased, more “investment grade” rated securities could be issued, then (i) each of them shall take all actions provided for in the documentation for the Loan as are reasonably necessary to effect the “resizing” of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan, (ii) Borrower shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Mezzanine Borrower to comply with its agreements to effect a “resizing” and (iii) Lender shall on the date of the “resizing” of the Loan lend to the Borrower (by way of a reallocation of the principal amount of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan) an additional amount equal to the amount of principal reduction of the Mezzanine Loan, provided that Borrower and Mezzanine Borrower execute and deliver any and all reasonably necessary modifications to the Loan Documents and Mezzanine Loan Documents, which modifications will be substantially on the same forms as similar transactions between Lender and Affiliates of Broadway Partners. In connection with the foregoing, Borrower agrees, at Lender’s sole cost and expense other than Borrower’s attorneys’ fees with respect to Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.5, to execute and deliver such documents and other agreements reasonably required by Mezzanine Lender and/or Lender to “re-size” the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan, including, without limitation, an amendment to this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, amendments to, or replacements of, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement modifying the notional amounts to reflect the “re-sized” loan, and, if the principal amount of the Loan is increased an endorsement to the Title Policy reflecting an increase in the insured amount thereunder, provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to execute and deliver any documents or agreements which would (i) change the weighted average interest rate on the then outstanding principal balances of the Note and the Mezzanine Note immediately prior to such resizing, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, (ii) modify or amend any other material or economic term of the Loan in a manner that has a material adverse effect on Borrower, or (iii) materially increase Borrower’s obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents or materially decrease the rights of Borrower under the Loan Documents. All costs and expenses incurred by Borrower and Lender in connection with compliance with this Section 9.5 shall be paid by Lender other than Borrower’s legal fees and expenses which shall be paid by Borrower.
-114-
Section 9.6 Replacement Guarantor. Upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Sections 8.1(a)(vi), (vii), (xiv) or (xvii) hereof, Borrower may cause the applicable Guarantor to be substituted or replaced by a Replacement Guarantor prior to the time that the occurrence of any of the foregoing events becomes an Event of Default or if the occurrence of any of the foregoing events is an immediate Event of Default, within ten (10) days following such occurrence. Borrower (a) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender, (i) financial statements or other information reasonably required by Lender with respect to such proposed Replacement Guarantor and (ii) such legal opinions as Lender may reasonably require, including but not limited to an Insolvency Opinion and (b) shall cause such proposed Replacement Guarantor to assume all of the obligations of the applicable Guarantor under the Guaranty and Environmental Indemnity, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including, without limitation, by entering into an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.
Section 9.7 Syndication.
9.7.1 Syndication. The provisions of this Section 9.7 shall only apply in the event that the Loan is syndicated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.7 set forth below.
9.7.2 Sale of Loan, Co-Lenders, Participations and Servicing. (a) Lender and any Co-Lender may, at their option, without Borrower’s consent (but with notice to Borrower, which Lender or such Co-Lender shall endeavor (with no obligation to do so) to give to Borrower prior to such sale), sell with novation all or any part of their right, title and interest in, and to, and under the Loan (the “Syndication”), to one or more additional lenders (each a “Co-Lender”). Each additional Co-Lender shall enter into an assignment and assumption agreement (the “Assignment and Assumption”) assigning a portion of Lender’s or Co-Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan, and pursuant to which the additional Co-Lender accepts such assignment and assumes the assigned obligations. From and after the effective date specified in the Assignment and Assumption (i) each Co-Lender shall be a party hereto and to each Loan Document to the extent of the applicable percentage or percentages set forth in the Assignment and Assumption and, except as specified otherwise herein, shall succeed to the rights and obligations of Lender and the Co-Lenders hereunder and thereunder in respect of the Loan, and (ii) Lender, as lender and each Co-Lender, as applicable, shall, to the extent such rights and obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents.
(b) The liabilities of Lender and each of the Co-Lenders shall be several and not joint, and Lender’s and each Co-Lender’s obligations to Borrower under this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of each such Assignment and Assumption. Neither Lender nor any Co-Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Co-Lender. Lender and each Co-Lender shall be liable to Borrower only for their respective proportionate shares of the Loan. If for any reason any of the Co-Lenders shall fail or refuse to abide by their obligations under this Agreement, Lender and the other Co-Lenders shall not be relieved of their obligations, if any, hereunder; notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender and the Co-Lenders shall have the right,
-115-
but not the obligation, at their sole option, to make the defaulting Co-Lender’s pro rata share of such advance pursuant to the Co-Lending Agreement.
(c) Borrower agrees that it shall, in connection with any sale of all or any portion of the Loan, whether in whole or to an additional Co-Lender or Participant, within ten (10) Business Days after requested by Agent, furnish Agent with the certificates required under Sections 5.1.10 and 5.1.13 hereof and such other information as reasonably requested by any additional Co-Lender or Participant in performing its due diligence in connection with its purchase of an interest in the Loan. Lender shall pay for any third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with Borrower’s complying with the requests made under this Section 9.7 other than Borrower’s legal fees and expenses.
(d) Lender (or an Affiliate of Lender) shall act as administrative agent for itself and the Co-Lenders (together with any successor administrative agent, the “Agent”) pursuant to this Section 9.7. Borrower acknowledges that Lender, as Agent, shall have the sole and exclusive authority to execute and perform this Agreement and each Loan Document on behalf of itself, as Lender and as agent for itself and the Co-Lenders subject to the terms of the Co-Lending Agreement. Lender acknowledges that Lender, as Agent, shall retain the exclusive right to grant approvals and give consents with respect to the operating budgets required to be delivered hereunder and with respect to matters concerning the establishment and administration of the Lockbox Account and the other Reserve Funds. Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to recognize or deal directly with any Co-Lender, and no Co-Lender shall have any right to deal directly with Borrower with respect to the rights, benefits and obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any one or more documents or instruments in respect thereof. Borrower may rely conclusively on the actions of Lender as Agent to bind Lender and the Co-Lenders, notwithstanding that the particular action in question may, pursuant to this Agreement or the Co-Lending Agreement be subject to the consent or direction of some or all of the Co-Lenders. Lender may resign as Agent of the Co-Lenders, in its sole discretion or if required to by the Co-Lenders in accordance with the term of the Co-Lending Agreement, in each case without the consent of Borrower. Upon any such resignation, a successor Agent shall be determined pursuant to the terms of the Co-Lending Agreement. The term Agent shall mean any successor Agent.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein (and in the Co-Lending Agreement) and no covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities of Agent shall be implied by or inferred from this Agreement, the Co-Lending Agreement, or any other Loan Document, or otherwise exist against Agent.
(f) Except to the extent its obligations hereunder and its interest in the Loan have been assigned pursuant to one or more Assignments and Assumption, Lender, as Agent, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Co-Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, respectively. The term “Co-Lender” or “Co-Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Lender in its individual capacity. Lender and the other Co-Lenders and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Borrower, or any Affiliate of Borrower and any Person who may do business with
-116-
or own securities of Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower, all as if they were not serving in such capacities hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to each other.
(g) If required by any Co-Lender, Borrower hereby agrees to execute supplemental notes in the principal amount of such Co-Lender’s pro rata share of the Loan substantially in the form of the Note, provided any such supplemental note does not represent any new indebtedness and a copy of the existing Note is returned to Borrower with a notation reflecting that such supplemental note has been issued, and such supplemental note shall (i) be payable to order of such Co-Lender, (ii) be dated as of the Closing Date, and (iii) mature on the Maturity Date. Such supplemental note shall provide that it evidences a portion of the existing indebtedness hereunder and under the Note and not any new or additional indebtedness of Borrower. The term “Note” as used in this Agreement and in all the other Loan Documents shall include all such supplemental notes. Such supplemental notes shall not increase any obligations or liabilities, or decrease any rights, of Borrower under the Loan Documents.
(h) Lender, as Agent, shall maintain at its domestic lending office or at such other location as Lender, as Agent, shall designate in writing to each Co-Lender and Borrower a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Co-Lenders, the amount of each Co-Lender’s proportionate share of the Loan and the name and address of each Co-Lender’s agent for service of process (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrower, Lender, as Agent, and the Co-Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Co-Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection and copying by Borrower or any Co-Lender during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent. A Co-Lender may change its address and its agent for service of process upon written notice to Lender, as Agent, which notice shall only be effective upon actual receipt by Lender, as Agent, which receipt will be acknowledged by Lender, as Agent, upon request.
(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any financial institution or other entity may be sold a participation interest in the Loan by Lender or any Co-Lender without Borrower’s consent (such financial institution or entity, a “Participant”) (x) if such sale is without novation and (y) if the other conditions set forth in this paragraph are met. No Participant shall be considered a Co-Lender hereunder or under the Note or the Loan Documents. No Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents and the Participant’s rights in respect of such participation shall be solely against Lender or Co-Lender, as the case may be, as set forth in the participation agreement executed by and between Lender or Co-Lender, as the case may be, and such Participant. No participation shall relieve Lender or Co-Lender, as the case may be, from its obligations hereunder or under the Note or the Loan Documents and Lender or Co-Lender, as the case may be, shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.2.3 and 2.2.8 than the Lender or Co-Lender, as applicable, would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation interest sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation interest to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant would not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.2.8 unless Borrower is notified of the participation interest sold to such Participant
-117-
and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.2.8 as though it were a Lender or a Co-Lender.
(j) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, Lender or any Co-Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, amounts owing to it in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), provided that no such security interest or the exercise by the secured party of any of its rights thereunder shall release Lender or Co-Lender from its funding obligations hereunder.

Section 10.1 Survival. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Lender.
Section 10.2 Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive.
Section 10.3 Governing Law. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT ENTERED INTO PURSUANT TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED, CONSTRUED, APPLIED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS), PROVIDED HOWEVER, THAT WITH RESPECT TO THE CREATION, PERFECTION, PRIORITY AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE LIENS AND SECURITY INTERESTS CREATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, THE SECURITY INSTRUMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND THE DETERMINATION OF DEFICIENCY JUDGMENTS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED SHALL APPLY EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THE APPLICABLE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE.
(b) WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR ACTION ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, BORROWER (A) IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED
-118-
STATES DISTRICT COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF, AND (B) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING ON VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS INSTRUMENT WILL BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE LENDER FROM BRINGING AN ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT HERETO IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
Section 10.4 Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Note, 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.
Section 10.5 Delay Not a Waiver. 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 the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, 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 this Agreement, the Note or any other 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 this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. LENDER AND BORROWER ARE HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER.
Section 10.8 Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 10.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 10.10 Preferences. In the event any payment by Borrower to Lender is deemed, or would be deemed, usurious, 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 obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, State or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 10.11 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 the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
-121-
Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender within five (5) days of receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) actually incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower as more particularly set forth in the closing statement prepared in connection with the closing of the Loan; (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iii) intentionally deleted; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Lockbox Account.
(b) Intentionally deleted.
(c) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless Lender and the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, and settlement of Losses incurred in correcting any prohibited transaction or in the sale of a prohibited loan, and in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA, the Code, any state statute or other similar law that may be required, in Lender’s sole discretion) that Lender may incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of a default under Sections 4.1.8 or 5.2.8 hereof.
-122-

Section 10.14 Schedules and Exhibits Incorporated. The Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated 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 unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries. (a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy in common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or their Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, disclosure required by any federal or State securities laws, rules or regulations, as determined by Borrower’s counsel, shall not be subject to the prior written approval of Lender.
-123-
Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or part of the Security Instrument, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders other than Eastdil Secured L.L.C. (“Eastdil”) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person (including, without limitation, Eastdil) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. Lender hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower shall be liable to pay all fees and commissions owed to Eastdil in connection with the Loan. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
-124-
Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, between Borrower and/or its Affiliates and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23 Counterparts. Duplicate counterparts of any of the Loan Documents, other than the Note, may be executed and together will constitute a single instrument.

Lender agrees that if any action or proceeding is commenced by Lender for the foreclosure of the Mortgage or the sale of the Property, Tenant shall not be named as a party therein unless such joinder shall be required by law, provided, however, such joinder shall not result in the termination of the Lease or disturb the Tenant’s possession or use of the premises demised thereunder, and the sale of the Property in any such action or proceeding shall be made subject to all rights of Tenant under the Lease except as set forth in Section 3 below, provided that at the time of the commencement of any such action or

3. Attornment.

4. Notice to Tenant. After notice is given to Tenant by Lender that the Landlord is in default under the Note and the Mortgage and that the rentals under the Lease should be paid to Lender pursuant to the terms of the assignment of leases and rents executed and delivered by Landlord to Lender in connection therewith, Tenant shall thereafter pay to Lender or as directed by the Lender, all rentals and all other monies due or to become due to
SCH. IV-6
Landlord under the Lease and Landlord hereby expressly authorizes Tenant to make such payments to Lender and hereby releases and discharges Tenant from any liability to Landlord on account of any such payments.

6. Lender to Receive Notices. Tenant shall provide Lender with copies of all written notices sent to Landlord pursuant to the Lease simultaneously with the transmission of such notices to the Landlord. Tenant shall notify Lender of any default by Landlord under the Lease which would entitle Tenant to cancel the Lease or to an abatement of the rents, additional rents or other sums payable thereunder, and agrees that, notwithstanding any provisions of the Lease to the contrary, no notice of cancellation thereof or of such an abatement shall be effective unless Lender shall have received notice of default giving rise to such cancellation or abatement and shall have failed within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice to cure such default, or if such default cannot be cured within sixty (60) days, shall have failed within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice to commence and thereafter diligently pursue any action necessary to cure such default.
