22 |
(vi) 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 (A) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (B) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Accrual Period or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees to promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(vii) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(A) shall hereafter impose, modify 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 which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;
(B) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or
(C) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;
23 |
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as reasonably determined by Lender, provided that, such demand by Lender shall apply to all loans similarly affected by such change. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate 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 to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(viii) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (A) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (B) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Accrual Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder and (C) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Interest Rate from the LIBOR Rate to the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate on a date other than the last day of an Interest Accrual Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (A), (B) and (C) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, provided Borrower makes any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on the last day of an Interest Accrual Period, or if such date is not the last day of an Interest Accrual Period but such prepayment includes the payment of Interest Shortfall, then no Breakage Costs shall be due and payable in connection with such prepayment.
24 |
(ix) Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this subsection for any Foreign Taxes, increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date 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 under this subsection, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.
(x) Lender will use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan and to avoid or reduce any increased or additional costs payable by Borrower under this subsection, including, if requested by Borrower, a transfer or assignment of the Loan to a branch, office or affiliate of Lender in another jurisdiction, or a redesignation of its lending office with respect to the Loan, in order to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan or to avoid or reduce such increased or additional costs, provided that the transfer or assignment or redesignation (A) would not result in any additional costs, expenses or risk to Lender that are not reimbursed by Borrower and (B) would not be disadvantageous in any other respect to Lender as determined by Lender in its sole discretion.
(xi) Tax Forms. Prior to the date that any Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America becomes a party hereto, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the IRS Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (including Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI and W-8BEN, as applicable, or appropriate successor forms), properly completed, currently effective and duly executed by such Lender establishing that payments to it hereunder and under the Note are (i) not subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax and (ii) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax under the Code. Each such Lender shall (x) deliver further copies of such forms or other appropriate certifications on or before the date that any such forms expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form delivered to the Borrower and (y) obtain such extensions of the time for filing, and renew such forms and certifications thereof, as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower. If a payment made to a Lender under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA and such Lender fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender shall deliver (A) a certification signed by the chief financial officer, principal accounting officer, treasurer or controller, and (B) other documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower sufficient for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such applicable reporting requirements. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount pursuant to Subsection (v) above to any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America if such Lender fails to comply with the requirements of this Subsection (xi). Borrower will not be required to pay any additional amounts in respect of United States federal income tax pursuant to Subsection (v) above to Lender if the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by Lender to comply with its obligations under this Subsection (xi).
25 |
(d) Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, overdue interest in respect of the Loan, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
(e) Usury Savings. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be 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 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 or forbearance of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.6 Loan Payments.
(a) Payment Before Maturity. Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only on the Closing Date for the period from the Closing Date through the last day of the month in which the Closing Date occurs (unless the Closing Date is the first day of a calendar month, in which case no such separate payment of interest shall be due). Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Monthly Payment Date the Monthly Payment Amount.
(b) [Intentionally Omitted.]
(c) Payment on Maturity. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.
(d) Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents, other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not paid by Borrower within five (5) days when due, 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.
26 |
(e) Method and Place of Payment.
(i) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 12:00 Noon, California time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
(ii) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be deemed to be the immediately succeeding Business Day.
(iii) All payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto.
Section 2.7 Prepayments.
(a) Voluntary Prepayments. Prior to the Lockout Release Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan may not be prepaid in whole or in part. On the last day of any Interest Accrual Period occurring on or after the Lockout Release Date, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may, at its option and upon prior notice to Lender as set forth herein, prepay the Debt in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may not partially prepay the Loan more than one (1) time in any calendar year and Borrower shall obtain Lender’s consent for any additional partial prepayment of the Loan in any calendar year, which consent shall be given in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment unless it is accompanied by the prepayment premium due in connection therewith. Any partial prepayment shall be applied to the Loan in such order and priority as may be determined by Lender in its sole discretion. Any prepayment received by Lender on a date other than the last day of any Interest Accrual Period shall include interest which would have accrued from such date of prepayment through and including the last day of the Interest Accrual Period during which such prepayment is being made (such amounts, the “Interest Shortfall”). Additionally, Borrower shall pay the Exit Fee, any Additional Interest and any Breakage Costs (provided that the same are not duplicative of any Interest Shortfall paid in connection with such prepayment) in connection with any prepayment of the Loan. As a condition to any voluntary prepayment, Borrower shall give Lender written notice (a “Prepayment Notice”) of its intent to prepay, which notice must be given at least sixty (60) and not more than ninety (90) days prior to the Business Day upon which prepayment is to be made and must specify the Business Day on which such prepayment is to be made. Borrower hereby agrees that, in the event Borrower delivers a Prepayment Notice and fails to prepay the Loan in accordance with the Prepayment Notice and the terms of this Section 2.7 (a “Prepayment Failure”), Borrower shall indemnify Lender from and against, and shall be responsible for, all Losses (including any consequential damages) incurred by Lender with respect to any such Prepayment Failure.
27 |

No prepayment premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.7(b).
(c) Prepayments After Default. If concurrently with or after an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the principal of the Loan is tendered by Borrower, a purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person, such tender shall be deemed an attempt to circumvent the prohibition against prepayment prior to the Lockout Release Date as set forth herein and Borrower, such purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall pay, in addition to the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents, (i) an amount equal to the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan to be prepaid or satisfied and (y) the Spread Maintenance Premium, (ii) Interest Shortfall, (iii) Breakage Costs (provided that the same are not duplicative of any Interest Shortfall paid in connection with such prepayment), and (iv) Additional Interest. Additionally, Borrower shall pay the Exit Fee to Xxxxx Fargo.
(d) Exit Fee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, the Exit Fee shall not be payable with respect to any Principal Payment included in a Monthly Payment Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment of the Exit Fee shall be waived in the event Borrower refinances the Loan with a new permanent loan from Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. (which may be provided by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., in its sole discretion).
28 |
(e) Cash Trap Event Payoff. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event there is a Cash Trap Event Period caused by a Tenant Cash Trap Event (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement), Borrower is permitted to prepay the Loan in full. In connection with a prepayment made in accordance with the foregoing sentence, Borrower shall not be required to pay the Exit Fee or any prepayment premium; provided, however, Borrower shall be required to pay any Interest Shortfall, Breakage Costs, or Additional Interest in connection with such prepayment.
Section 2.8 Interest Rate Protection Agreement.
(a) Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Protection Agreement with a LIBOR swapped rate acceptable to Lender. The Interest Rate Protection Agreement (i) shall be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) shall be with a Counterparty acceptable to Lender, (iii) shall be for a period equal to the term of the Loan and (iv) shall have an initial notional amount equal to the principal balance of the Loan. Borrower shall direct such Counterparty to deposit directly into the Restricted Account any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Protection Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt exists, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to exist if the Property is transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof. Additionally, Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Protection Agreement, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Protection Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the Restricted Account.
(b) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Restricted Account. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.
(c) If at any time (i) Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. or any of its affiliates is not “Lender” under the Loan, or (ii) Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. or any of its affiliates is not the Counterparty, then, in the event there is any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the long-term unsecured debt rating of the Counterparty below an “A” by S&P or below an “A2” by Xxxxx’x, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Protection Agreement with a new Interest Rate Protection Agreement with a Counterparty acceptable to Lender (a “Replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement”), not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from Lender of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Counterparty is Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. or any of its affiliates and neither Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. nor any of its affiliates is the Lender, such Replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement is only required to be delivered in the event there is any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the long-term unsecured debt rating of the Counterparty below an “A” by S&P and below an “A2” by Xxxxx’x. In furtherance of the foregoing, if Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. and/or any of its affiliates are both Lender and Counterparty, then no Replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be required.
29 |
(d) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Protection Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Protection Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Protection Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Protection 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 reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.
(e) If required by Lender, in connection with the Interest Rate Protection Agreement where Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. or any affiliate thereof is not the Counterparty thereunder, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:
(i) 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 Protection Agreement;
(ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Protection 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;
(iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Protection 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
30 |
(iv) the Interest Rate Protection 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).
(f) Borrower shall pay to Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association (“Xxxxx Fargo”) any losses (including, without limitation, loss of bargain), costs (including, without limitation, cost of funding), and expenses that Xxxxx Fargo incurs, as Lender and/or Counterparty, as a result of any default in performance of, or the termination of, the obligations of Borrower pursuant to the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, if any. All such losses, costs and expenses shall be payable by Borrower to Xxxxx Fargo as additional interest under the Loan (“Additional Interest”). The Additional Interest is deemed to constitute interest and not principal under the Loan and the only reference to “principal” herein shall not be deemed to apply to Additional Interest. The Additional Interest shall be due and payable by Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement and shall be secured on a pari-passu basis with the Debt by the lien of the Security Instrument.
(g) In connection with the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a XXXXX SWAP Endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy in an amount satisfactory to Lender.

32 |
(b) 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 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 Instruments on each Individual Property not theretofore released.

Section 4.15 Management Agreement.
(a) Borrower shall (i) diligently perform, observe and enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed, observed and enforced 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 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. Without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Borrower shall not surrender the Management 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 respect, either orally or in writing, and 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, 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, 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 for the purpose of taking any such action. If Manager shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to Borrower of default under the Management Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon. Borrower shall notify Lender if Manager sub-contracts to a third party or an affiliate any or all of its management responsibilities under the Management Agreement. Borrower shall, from time to time, use its best efforts to obtain from Manager under the Management Agreement 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. Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
(b) Without limitation of the foregoing, if the Management Agreement is terminated pursuant to the Assignment of Management Agreement or for any other reason, then Lender, at its option, may require Borrower to engage, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Assignment of Management Agreement, a new manager (the “New Manager”) to manage the applicable Individual Property, which such New Manager shall be a Qualified Manager. New Manager shall be engaged by Borrower pursuant to a written management agreement that complies with the terms hereof and of the Assignment of Management Agreement and is otherwise satisfactory to Lender in all respects. New Manager and Borrower shall execute an Assignment of Management Agreement in the form then used by Lender. To the extent that such New Manager is an Affiliated Manager, Borrower’s engagement of such New Manager shall be subject to Borrower’s delivery to Lender of a New Non-Consolidation Opinion with respect to such New Manager and new management agreement.

Lender may apply any such security or part thereof, as necessary to pay for such Work Charge at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or non-payment of such Work Charge is finally established or the applicable Individual Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in present danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.

(iii) each Policy shall provide that (A) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed ten (10) days prior to its expiration and (B) Lender is permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such Policy upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of Insurance Premiums; and
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
Additionally, Borrower further covenants and agrees to promptly send to Lender any notices of non-renewal or cancellation it receives from the insurer with respect to the Policies required pursuant to this Section 7.1.
(f) 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 Responsible 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.
(g) 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.
(h) 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 concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest exclusively in Lender or the purchaser at such foreclosure or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
71 |
(i) As an alternative to the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 7.1, Borrower will not be in default under this Section 7.1 if Borrower maintains (or causes to be maintained) Policies which (i) have coverages, deductibles and/or other related provisions other than those specified above and/or (ii) are provided by insurance companies not meeting the credit ratings requirements set forth above (any such Policy, a “Non-Conforming Policy”), provided, that, prior to obtaining such Non-Conforming Policies (or permitting such Non-Conforming Policies to be obtained), Borrower shall have received Lender’s prior written consent thereto.
(j) The property, loss of rents/business interruption, general liability and umbrella liability insurance policies required in this Section 7.1 shall not exclude Terrorism Coverage (defined below) (such insurance policies, the “Applicable Policies”). Such Terrorism Coverage shall comply with each of the applicable requirements for Policies set forth above (including, without limitation, those relating to deductibles); provided that, Lender, at Lender’s option, may reasonably require Borrower to obtain or cause to be obtained the Terrorism Coverage with higher deductibles than set forth xxxxx.Xx used above, “Terrorism Coverage” shall mean insurance for acts of terror or similar acts of sabotage; provided, that, for so long as the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as extended and modified by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Authorization Act of 2007 (as the same may be further modified, amended, or extended, “TRIPRA”) (i) remains in full force and effect and (ii) continues to cover both foreign and domestic acts of terror, the provisions of TRIPRA shall determine what is deemed to be included within this definition of “Terrorism Coverage.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, whether or not TRIPRA or subsequent statute, extension, or reauthorization is in effect, Borrower shall be required to carry terrorism insurance throughout the term of the Loan as required by the preceding sentence; provided, however, if TRIPRA (or such subsequent statute, extension or reauthorization) is not in effect Borrower shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of the TC Cap (defined below) in order to obtain the Terrorism Coverage (but Borrower shall be obligated to purchase the maximum amount of Terrorism Coverage available with funds equal to the TC Cap). As used above, “TC Cap” shall mean an amount equal to two (2) times the premium for a separate “Special Form” or “All Risks” policy or equivalent policy insuring only the Property on a stand-alone basis (including, without limitation, the insurance required pursuant to Sections 7.1(a)(i) and (iii) hereof) at the time that any Terrorism Coverage is excluded from any Applicable Policy.
(k) To the extent the insurance maintained by the Tenants known as “Walgreens”, “Federal Express” and/or “Dollar General”, complies with all of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.1 or, if not in compliance with this Section 7.1, is otherwise acceptable to Lender in Lender’s sole discretion, Borrower shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 7.1, so long as (i) Walgreens, Federal Express or Dollar General maintains the Policies required pursuant to this Section 7.1 or as approved by Lender in its sole discretion; and (ii) Lender is named as a loss payee, mortgagee and additional insured, as applicable, on each of the Policies maintained by Walgreens, Federal Express or Dollar General.
72 |
Section 7.2 Casualty. If any Individual 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 promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the applicable Individual Property as nearly as possible to the condition the applicable Individual Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 7.4. 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 7.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property of which Borrower has knowledge and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by 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. 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 promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 7.4. 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 7.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of any Individual Property:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.4(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 or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4.
73 |
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available 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 thirty percent (30%) of each of (i) the fair market value of the applicable Individual Property as reasonably determined by Lender, and (ii) the rentable area of the applicable Individual Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are condemnation proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of each of (i) the fair market value of the applicable Individual Property as reasonably determined by Lender and (ii) the rentable area of the applicable Individual Property is taken, such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the applicable Individual Property, no portion of the Improvements is located on such land and such taking does not materially impair the existing access to the applicable Individual Property; |
(C) | Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than 75% of the total rentable space in the applicable Individual Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or taking, 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 applicable Individual Property after the completion of the Restoration; |
(D) | Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the issuance of a building permit with respect thereto) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion in compliance with all Applicable Laws, in all material respects, including, without limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws; |
74 |
(E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits which will be incurred with respect to the applicable Individual Property as a result of the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1(a)(iii) above, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(F) | Lender shall be satisfied that, upon the completion of the Restoration, the fair market value and cash flow of the applicable Individual Property will not be less than the fair market value and cash flow of the applicable Individual Property as the same existed immediately prior to the applicable Casualty or Condemnation; |
(G) | Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1(a)(iii) above, or (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair and restore the applicable Individual Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or taking; |
(H) | Borrower and Guarantor shall execute and deliver to Lender a completion guaranty in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and its counsel pursuant to the provisions of which Borrower and Guarantor shall, jointly and severally, guaranty to Lender the lien-free completion by Borrower of the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 7.4(b); |
(I) | the applicable Individual Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under the Property Documents and all Applicable Law; |

75 |
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds (other than the Rent Loss Proceeds) shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence 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 related Restoration item 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 applicable Individual Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). 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 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. Borrower shall have the right to settle all claims under the Policies jointly with Lender, provided that (a) no Event of Default exists, (b) Borrower promptly and with commercially reasonable diligence negotiates a settlement of any such claims and (c) the insurer with respect to the Policy under which such claim is brought has not raised any act of the insured as a defense to the payment of such claim. If an Event of Default exists, Lender shall, at its election, have the exclusive right to settle or adjust any claims made under the Policies in the event of a Casualty.
76 |
(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 Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” as used in this Subsection 7.4(b) shall mean an amount equal to 10% of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until such time as the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that Net Proceeds representing 50% of the required Restoration have been disbursed. There shall be no Restoration Retainage with respect to costs actually incurred by Borrower for work in place in completing the last 50% of the required Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Subsection 7.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration 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 Subsection 7.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage, provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration 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, and 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 insuring the lien of the Security Instrument. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other 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 7.4(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 this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.
77 |
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Subsection 7.4(b)(vii) shall 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 discretion shall deem proper. 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.

80 |
Section 8.6 Tax and Insurance Funds
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Lender on each Monthly Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Taxes payable, or reasonably estimated by Lender to be payable, during the next ensuing twelve (12) months (the “Monthly Tax Deposit”), and (b) at the option of Lender, if the liability or casualty Policy maintained by Borrower covering the Property shall not constitute an approved blanket or umbrella Policy pursuant to Subsection 7.1(c) hereof, or Lender shall require Borrower to obtain a separate Policy pursuant to Subsection 7.1(c) hereof, one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums due for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof (the “Monthly Insurance Deposit”). Amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 8.6 are herein referred to as the “Tax and Insurance Funds”). In the event Lender shall elect, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to collect payments in escrow for Insurance Premiums, Borrower shall pay to Lender an initial deposit to be determined by Lender, in its reasonable discretion, to increase the amounts in the Tax and Insurance Funds to an amount which, together with anticipated monthly escrow payments, shall be sufficient to pay all Insurance Premiums as they become due. Borrower agrees to notify Lender immediately of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of any Taxes and Insurance Premiums of which it has or obtains knowledge and authorizes Lender or its agent to obtain the bills for Taxes directly from the appropriate taxing authority. Provided there are sufficient amounts in the Tax and Insurance Funds, and no Event of Default exists, Lender shall be obligated to pay the Taxes and Insurance Premiums as they become due on their respective due dates on behalf of Borrower by applying the Tax and Insurance Funds to the payment of such Taxes and Insurance Premiums. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 4.5 and 7.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Funds. If the Tax and Insurance Funds are not sufficient to pay the amounts set forth above, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, an amount which Lender shall reasonably estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency.
Section 8.7 The Accounts Generally.
(a) All Reserve Funds shall be held in Eligible Accounts. Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and all sums now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Funds as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 8.7 are intended to give Lender and/or Servicer “control” of the Reserve Funds within the meaning of the UCC. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Reserve Funds are subject to the sole dominion, control and discretion of Lender, its authorized agents or designees, subject to the terms hereof, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal with respect to any Reserve Funds except with the prior written consent of Lender or as otherwise provided herein. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.
(b) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Funds or permit any lien 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. Lender shall have the right to file a financing statement or statements under the UCC in connection with any of the Reserve Funds with respect thereto in the form required to properly perfect Lender’s security interest therein. Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Reserve Funds.
81 |
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice from Lender or Servicer (i) Borrower shall have no rights in respect of the Reserve Funds and (ii) Lender shall have all rights and remedies with respect to the Accounts and the amounts on deposit therein and the Reserve Funds as described in this Agreement, the Cash Management Agreement and in the Security Instrument, in addition to all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Cash Management Agreement or in the Security Instrument, may apply the Reserve Funds as Lender determines in its sole discretion including, but not limited to, payment of the Debt.
(d) The insufficiency of Reserve Funds on deposit with Lender shall not absolve Borrower of the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.
(e) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds, the sums deposited therein or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender, 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; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
(f) Interest accrued, if any, on the Reserve Funds, other than on the Interest Bearing Reserve Funds, shall not be required to be remitted to any Account and may instead be retained by Lender. Reserve Funds that are Interest Bearing Reserve Funds shall be held in an interest-bearing account. In no event shall Lender or any Servicer be required to select any particular interest-bearing account or the account that yields the highest rate of interest, provided that selection of the account shall be consistent with the general standards at the time being utilized by Lender or such Servicer, as applicable, in establishing similar accounts for loans of comparable type. All such interest that so becomes part of the applicable Interest Bearing Reserve Funds shall be disbursed in accordance with the disbursement procedures contained herein applicable to such Interest Bearing Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may, at its election, retain any such interest for its own account during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.
82 |
Section 8.8 Letters of Credit.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower may, at Borrower’s option, provide a Letter of Credit in lieu of any of the cash deposits required to be made pursuant to Article 8 hereof, provided that such Letter of Credit is in the amount of the cash deposit required thereunder and otherwise meets all applicable requirements related thereto set forth herein. Other than in connection with any Letters of Credit delivered in connection with the closing of the Loan, Borrower shall give Lender no less than ten (10) days written notice of Borrower’s election to deliver a Letter of Credit in lieu of any cash deposit required under Article 8 hereof and Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith. No party other than Lender shall be entitled to draw on any such Letter of Credit.

Prior to the return of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall deposit an amount equal to the amount that would have accumulated in the applicable Reserve Fund and not been disbursed in accordance with this Agreement if such Letter of Credit had not been delivered. In the event that any disbursement of any Reserve Funds relates to a portion thereof provided through a Letter of Credit, any “disbursement” of said funds as provided above shall be deemed to refer to (i) Borrower providing Lender a replacement Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the original Letter of Credit posted less the amount of the applicable disbursement provided hereunder and (ii) Lender, after receiving such replacement Letter of Credit, returning such original Letter of Credit to Borrower; provided, that, no replacement Letter of Credit shall be required with respect to the final disbursement of the applicable Reserve Funds such that no further sums are required to be deposited in the applicable Reserve Funds. Borrower shall pay all cost, expenses and fees relating to any assignment of the Letter of Credit to Lender and/or from Lender to its successors and assigns.

(b) Each Letter of Credit delivered hereunder shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to draw on any Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for which such Letter of Credit was established or to apply each such Letter of Credit to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine. Any such application to the Debt shall be subject to the terms and conditions hereof relating to application of sums to the Debt. Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit: (i) if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least forty five (45) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (ii) if Lender has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter of Credit at least forty five (45) days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least forty five (45) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (iii) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided by no later than forty five (45) days prior to such termination); (iv) if Lender has received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Approved Bank and Borrower has not substituted a Letter of Credit from an Approved Bank within fifteen (15) days after notice; and/or (v) if the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall fail to (A) issue a replacement Letter of Credit in the event the original Letter of Credit has been lost, mutilated, stolen and/or destroyed or (B) consent to the transfer of the Letter of Credit to any Person designated by Lender. If Lender draws upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided no Event of Default exists, Lender shall apply all or any part thereof for the purposes for which such Letter of Credit was established. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn the Letter of Credit.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(f) above with respect to Borrower and SPE Component Entity only) and at any time thereafter Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in 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 this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity. Upon any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(f) above (with respect to Borrower and SPE Component Entity only), the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and 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 the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding.
87 |
(b) 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, the Security Instrument, the Note or 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 this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by Applicable Law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
(c) With respect to Borrower and the Properties, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Individual Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other Individual Properties, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Properties or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instruments in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instruments 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 one or more of the Security Instruments to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose one (1) or more of the Security Instruments to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by one or more of the Security Instruments as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Security Instruments to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instruments and not previously recovered.
(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, security instruments 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. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and 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.
88 |
(e) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
(f) Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by Applicable Law), with interest as provided in this Section, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred through and including the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefore.

The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other 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.

Section 17.15 Duplicate Originals; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original. The failure of any party hereto to execute this Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder.
Section 17.16 Contribution.
(a) As a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Borrower will benefit, directly and indirectly, from each Borrower’s obligation to pay the Debt and perform its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Obligations”) and in consideration therefore each Borrower desires to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section to allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make contributions among each of Borrowers in the event any payment is made by any individual Borrower hereunder to Lender (such payment being referred to herein as a “Contribution,” and for purposes of this Section, includes any exercise of recourse by Lender against any Unit of a Borrower and application of proceeds of such Unit in satisfaction of such Borrower’s obligations, to Lender under the Loan Documents).
(b) Each Borrower shall be liable hereunder with respect to the Obligations only for such total maximum amount (if any) that would not render its Obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any state law.
(c) In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among Borrowers in the event that any Contribution is made by an individual Borrower (a “Funding Borrower”), such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement Contribution (“Reimbursement Contribution”) from all other Borrowers for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Borrower in discharging any of the Obligations, in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section.
(d) For purposes hereof, the “Benefit Amount” of any individual Borrower as of any date of determination shall be the net value of the benefits to such Borrower and its affiliates from extensions of credit made by Lender to (i) such Borrower and (ii) to the other Borrowers hereunder and the Loan Documents to the extent such other Borrowers have guaranteed or mortgaged their property to secure the Obligations of such Borrower to Lender.
(e) Each Borrower shall be liable to a Funding Borrower in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the (A) ratio of the Benefit Amount of such Borrower to the total amount of Obligations, multiplied by (B) the amount of Obligations paid by such Funding Borrower, or (ii) ninety-five percent (95%) of the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Borrower over the total liabilities of such Borrower (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a Funding Borrower is deemed made for purposes hereof (giving effect to all payments made by other Funding Borrowers as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such Contributions).
108 |
(f) In the event that at any time there exists more than one Funding Borrower with respect to any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then Reimbursement Contributions from other Borrowers pursuant hereto shall be allocated among such Funding Borrowers in proportion to the total amount of the Contribution made for or on account of the other Borrowers by each such Funding Borrower pursuant to the Applicable Contribution. In the event that at any time any Borrower pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this Section above, that Borrower shall be deemed to be a Funding Borrower to the extent of such excess and shall be entitled to a Reimbursement Contribution from the other Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this Section.
(g) Each Borrower acknowledges that the right to Reimbursement Contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of Borrower to which such Reimbursement Contribution is owing.
(h) No Reimbursement Contribution payments payable by a Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Section shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by all of Borrowers to Lender, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, are paid in full in cash. Nothing contained in this Section shall limit or affect in any way the Obligations of any Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents.
(i) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower waives:
(i) any right to require Lender to proceed against any other Borrower or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lender at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power before proceeding against Borrower;
(ii) any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other Borrower, any guarantor of any other person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other Borrower or any guarantor from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Loan Documents;
(iii) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower;
(iv) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal;
(v) any defense based upon any failure by Lender to obtain collateral for the indebtedness or failure by Lender to perfect a lien on any collateral;
109 |
(vi) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind;
(vii) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition of any collateral to any other Borrower or to any other person or entity or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of any collateral;
(viii) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral, including any failure of Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral;
(ix) any defense based upon any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(x) any defense based upon any agreement or stipulation entered into by Lender with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding;
(xi) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(xii) any defense based upon the avoidance of any security interest in favor of Lender for any reason;
(xiii) any defense based upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations evidenced by the Note or owing under any of the Loan Documents;
(xiv) any defense or benefit based upon Borrower’s, or any other party’s, resignation of the portion of any obligation secured by the Security Instrument to be satisfied by any payment from any other Borrower or any such party;
(xv) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even though the election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Loan or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, has destroyed Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Borrower; and
110 |
(xvi) all rights and defenses that Borrower may have because any of Debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things (subject to the other terms and conditions of the Loan Documents): (1) Lender may collect from Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other Borrower, and (2) if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any other Borrower, (I) the amount of the Debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price and (II) Lender may collect from Borrower even if any other Borrower, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Borrower may have to collect from any other Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by real property; and except as may be expressly and specifically permitted herein, any claim or other right which Borrower might now have or hereafter acquire against any other Borrower or any other person that arises from the existence or performance of any obligations under the Loan Documents, including any of the following: (1) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification; or (2) any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against any other Borrower or any collateral security therefor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law.
(j) Each Borrower hereby restates and makes the waivers made by Guarantor in the Guaranty for the benefit of Lender. Such waivers are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein (and as if applicable to each Borrower) and shall be effective for all purposes under the Loan (including, without limitation, in the event that any Borrower is deemed to be a surety or guarantor of the Debt (by virtue of each Borrower being co-obligors and jointly and severally liable hereunder, by virtue of each Borrower encumbering its interest in the Property for the benefit or debts of the other Borrowers in connection herewith or otherwise)).
Section 17.17 Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization
(a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property taken separately. Borrower agrees that each of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Security Instruments) are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Loan Documents; (ii) an Event of Default hereunder shall constitute an Event of Default under each Security Instrument; (iii) each Security Instrument shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance and Borrower waives any claims related thereto.
111 |
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by 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 Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Security Instruments, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Properties for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Security Instruments, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property or any combination of the Properties before proceeding against any other Individual Property or combination of Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Properties.
Section 17.18 Special Missouri Notice. The following notice is provided pursuant to Section 432.045 of the Missouri Revised Statutes:
Oral agreements or commitments to loan money, extend credit or to forbear from enforcing repayment of a debt including promises to extend or renew such debt are not enforceable. To protect you (borrower) and us (lender) from misunderstanding or disappointment, any agreements we reach covering such matters are contained in this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which is the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between you and us, except as we may later agree in writing to modify it.

Borrower shall deliver to Lender such information as is reasonably required for Lender to make all applicable calculations. Lender’s calculation of the Actual Debt Service Coverage Ratio, and all component calculations, shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower absent manifest error.

“Expense Reimbursements” shall mean expense reimbursements as determined from the most recent operating statement, to the extent deemed recurring and sustainable, determined on a trailing 12-month basis (which should include actual expense reimbursements for occupied space and market expense reimbursements for vacant space and newly-leased space); provided, however, that (a) total Expense Reimbursements cannot exceed one hundred percent (100%) of Borrower’s actual Operating Expenses, and (b) if the Underwritten Expenses are used for determination of Operating Expenses, then Lender’s underwritten gross potential expense reimbursements will be used, which equal $0.00.

“Percentage Rent” shall mean percentage rent as determined from the most recent operating statement, to the extent deemed recurring and sustainable, determined on a trailing 12-month basis; provided, however, that for any particular tenant, the aggregate annual rent (including percentage rent) attributed to such tenant cannot exceed market rent.
“Other Income” shall mean all other applicable income as determined from the most recent operating statement for the Property at the time of determination, to the extent such income is deemed recurring and sustainable, determined on a trailing 12-month basis, computed in accordance with accounting principles reasonably acceptable to Lender, including, without limitation (and without duplication), parking income, cellular tower income, vending income and other similar items.

“Bad Debt” shall mean bad debt determined on a trailing 12-month basis.
“Rent Concessions” shall mean any remaining rent concessions for the Leases used to determine Gross Potential Rent (other than any concessions already accounted for in the determination of Gross Potential Rent above) to the extent such rent concessions relate to the forward 12-month period at the time of determination.
EXPENSE
“Underwritten Operating Expenses” shall mean projected annualized Operating Expenses based on a trailing 12-month period adjusted upwards or downwards in Lender’s reasonable discretion by anticipated changes in Operating Expenses.
“Operating Expenses” shall mean the greater of (a) all expenses, computed in accordance with accounting principles reasonably acceptable to Lender, of whatever kind and from whatever source, relating to the ownership, operation, repair, maintenance and management of the Property that are incurred on a regular monthly or other periodic basis, including, without limitation (and without duplication): Taxes (based on the most current xxxx annualized, subject to adjustment by Lender to take into account any change in assessment that has not yet been reflected in the most current tax xxxx); Insurance Premiums (based on the most current premium annualized); management fees (whether or not actually paid) equal to the greater of the actual management fees or 3% of Underwritten EGI; costs attributable to the ordinary operation, repair and maintenance of the Improvements; common area maintenance costs; advertising and marketing expenses; professional fees; license fees; general and administrative costs and expenses; utilities; payroll, benefits and related taxes and expenses; janitorial expenses; computer processing charges; operating equipment or other lease payments as approved by Lender; ground lease payments; bond assessments; and other similar costs and expenses; in each instance, unless otherwise noted, only to the extent actually paid for by Borrower (the foregoing expenses being referred to herein as “Actual Operating Expenses”), or (b) Lender’s underwritten operating expenses at the time of closing (“Underwritten Expenses”), which equal $139,503.00. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operating Expenses shall not include debt service (including principal, interest, impounds and other reserves), capital expenditures, tenant improvement costs, leasing commissions or other expenses which are paid from escrows required by the Loan Documents; any payment or expense for which Borrower was or is to be reimbursed from proceeds of the loan or insurance or by any third party; federal, state or local income taxes; any non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization; and any item of expense otherwise includable in Operating Expenses which is paid directly by any tenant except real estate taxes paid directly to any taxing authority by any tenant.
In making the calculations described herein, applicable line items may be adjusted by Lender in its reasonable discretion (a) to accurately reflect the amounts of any extraordinary non-recurring items in the relevant period and to reflect on a pro rata basis those items on an annual or semi-annual basis and (b) to reflect Leases (and projected changes to the applicable line items above) which are either (i) anticipated to terminate within the 90 days of the date of calculation or (ii) executed with creditworthy tenants with rent commencement dates scheduled to occur within 90 days of the date of calculation.
