(v) | The Loan-to-Value Percentage, based upon new Appraisals commissioned by Administrative Agent at Borrower’s sole cost and expense and with a valuation date within sixty (60) days of the Initial Maturity Date, shall not exceed fifty percent (50%); provided, for purposes of calculating Loan-to Value Percentage, the Aggregate Commitment shall be reduced by any amounts on deposit in the Termination Payment Account; |

Any repayment of principal or cancellation of any undisbursed portion of the Revolving Portion pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall reduce the Aggregate Commitment and the Revolving Portion dollar for dollar and any sums repaid may not be reborrowed.

(b) | Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in Sections 2.7(e) below and the payment dates specified in Section 2.7(a), at Requisite Lenders’ discretion at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, the principal balance of the Loan then outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loan not paid when due, shall bear interest payable upon demand at the Alternate Rate. All other amounts due Administrative Agent or Lenders (whether directly or for reimbursement) under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents if not paid when due, or if no time period is expressed, if not paid within ten |
15
(10) days after demand, shall likewise, at the option of Requisite Lenders, bear interest from and after demand at the Alternate Rate. |

Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges. Therefore, if Borrowers fail to pay interest due hereunder within fifteen (15) days after such payment is due, then Borrowers shall at, Administrative Agent’s option, pay a late or collection charge equal to four percent (4%) of the amount of such unpaid interest payment to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Lenders). Borrowers and Administrative Agent agree that this late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date hereof and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Administrative Agent and Lenders will incur by reason of late payment. Borrowers and Administrative Agent further agree that proof of actual damages would be costly and inconvenient. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue installment, and shall not prevent Administrative Agent from exercising any of the other rights available hereunder or any other Loan Document. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to any other rights of Administrative Agent. |

(B) | For those portions of the principal balance of the Notes which are Fixed Rate Portions, the Effective Rate for the Fixed Rate Period thereof shall be the Fixed Rate selected by Borrower and set in accordance with the provisions hereof, provided, however, if any of the transactions necessary for the calculation of interest at any Fixed Rate requested or selected by Borrowers should be or become prohibited or unavailable to Administrative Agent, or, if in Administrative Agent’s good faith judgment, it is not possible or practical for Administrative Agent to set a Fixed Rate for a Fixed Rate Portion and Fixed Rate Period as requested or selected by Borrowers, the Effective Rate for such Fixed Rate Portion shall remain at or revert to the Variable Rate. |
(C) | With respect to any portion of the Loan then subject to a Swap Agreement, Borrowers may not select a rate of interest, including, without limitation, a Fixed Rate for a Fixed Rate Period, that is inconsistent with the terms of such Swap Agreement. |
(ii) | During such time as a Default exists under this Agreement; or from and after the date on which all sums owing under the Notes become due and payable by acceleration or otherwise; or from and after the date on which the Collateral or |
16
any portion thereof or interest therein, is sold, transferred, mortgaged, assigned, or encumbered, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, or by operation of law or otherwise, without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent (except as otherwise permitted herein or in any of the Loan Documents) (whether or not the sums owing under the Notes become due and payable by acceleration); or from and after the Maturity Date, then at the option of Requisite Lenders in each case, the interest rate applicable to the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be the Alternate Rate. |
(f) | Selection of Fixed Rate. Provided no Default or Potential Default exists under this Agreement, Borrowers, at their option and upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, may request a Fixed Rate as the Effective Rate for calculating interest on the portion of the unpaid principal balance and for the period selected in accordance with and subject to the following procedures and conditions, provided, however, that Borrowers may not have in effect at any one time more than five (5) Fixed Rates: |
(i) | Borrower shall deliver to the Minnesota Loan Center, 000 0xx Xxx X., Xxxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attn: Xxxx Xxxxxxx, with a copy to: Xxxxx Fargo Bank, Real Estate Group, Orange County, 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Senior Vice President, or such other addresses as Administrative Agent shall designate, an original or facsimile Fixed Rate Notice no later than 9:00 A.M. (California time), and not less than three (3) nor more than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed Fixed Rate Period for each Fixed Rate Portion. Any Fixed Rate Notice pursuant to this subsection (i) is irrevocable. |
Administrative Agent is authorized to rely upon the telephonic request and acceptance of any of the following, acting alone, as Borrowers’ duly authorized agents, or such additional authorized agents as Borrowers shall designate in writing to Administrative Agent: Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx. Borrowers’ telephonic notices, requests and acceptances shall be directed to such officers of Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent may from time to time designate.
(ii) | Borrowers may elect (A) to convert Variable Rate advances to a Fixed Rate Portion, or (B) to convert a matured Fixed Rate Portion into a new Fixed Rate Portion, provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the advance being converted into or continued as a Fixed Rate Portion shall comply with the definition thereof as to Dollar amount. The conversion of a matured Fixed Rate Portion back to a Variable Rate or to a new Fixed Rate Portion shall occur on the last Business Day of the Fixed Rate Period relating to such Fixed Rate Portion. Each Fixed Rate Notice shall specify (A) the amount of the Fixed Rate Portion, (B) the Fixed Rate Period, and (C) the Fixed Rate Commencement Date. |
(iii) | Upon receipt of a Fixed Rate Notice in the proper form requesting a Fixed Rate Portion advance under subsections (i) and (ii) above, Administrative Agent shall determine the Fixed Rate applicable to the Fixed Rate Period for such Fixed Rate Portion two (2) Business Days prior to the beginning of such Fixed Rate Period. Each determination by Administrative Agent of the Fixed Rate shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto in the absence of manifest error. Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrowers and each Lender (by facsimile) an acknowledgment of receipt and confirmation of the Fixed Rate Notice; provided, however, that failure to provide such acknowledgment of receipt and confirmation of the Fixed Rate Notice to Borrowers or any Lender shall not affect the validity of such rate. |
17
(iv) | If Borrowers do not make a timely election to convert all or a portion of a matured Fixed Rate Portion into a new Fixed Rate Portion in accordance with this Section 2.7(f) above, such Fixed Rate Portion shall begin to accrue interest at the Variable Rate upon the expiration of the Fixed Rate Period applicable to such Fixed Rate Portion. |
(g) | Fixed Rate Taxes, Regulatory Costs and Reserve Percentages. Upon Administrative Agent’s demand, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, in addition to all other amounts which may be, or become, due and payable under this agreement and the other Loan Documents, any and all Fixed Rate Taxes and Regulatory Costs, to the extent they are not internalized by calculation of a Fixed Rate. Further, at Administrative Agent’s option, the Fixed Rate shall be automatically adjusted by adjusting the Reserve Percentage, as determined by Administrative Agent in its prudent banking judgment, from the date of imposition (or subsequent date selected by Administrative Agent) of any such Regulatory Costs. Administrative Agent shall notify Borrowers of any event entitling any Lender to Fixed Rate Taxes or Regulatory Costs (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of such determination) as promptly as practicable, but in any event within ninety (90) days after Administrative Agent obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that if Administrative Agent fails to give such notice within ninety (90) days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall be entitled to payment only for Fixed Rate Taxes and Regulatory Costs incurred from and after the date ninety (90) days prior to the date that Administrative Agent does give such notice. |
(h) | Fixed Rate Price Adjustment. Borrowers acknowledge that prepayment or acceleration of a Fixed Rate Portion during a Fixed Rate Period shall result in Lenders incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Therefore, on the date a Fixed Rate Portion is prepaid or the date all sums payable hereunder become due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise (“Price Adjustment Date”), Borrowers will pay Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender (in addition to all other sums then owing to Lenders) an amount (“Fixed Rate Price Adjustment”) equal to the then present value of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the Fixed Rate Portion for the remainder of the Fixed Rate Period at the Fixed Rate set on the Fixed Rate Commencement Date, less (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same Fixed Rate Portion for the same period if the Fixed Rate were set on the Price Adjustment Date at the Applicable LIBO Rate in effect on the Price Adjustment Date. The present value shall be calculated by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, using as a discount rate the LIBO Rate quoted on the Price Adjustment Date. |
By initialing this provision where indicated below, Borrowers confirm that Lenders’ agreement to make the Loan at the interest rates and on the other terms set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents constitutes adequate and valuable consideration, given individual weight by Borrowers, for this agreement.
Borrower Initials.
(i) | Purchase, Sale and Matching of Funds. Borrowers understand, agree and acknowledge the following: (a) Lenders have no obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of a LIBO Rate as a basis for calculating a Fixed Rate or Fixed Rate Price Adjustment; (b) a LIBO Rate is used merely as a reference in determining a Fixed Rate and Fixed Rate Price Adjustment; and (c) Borrowers have accepted a LIBO Rate as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating a Fixed Rate and a Fixed Rate Price Adjustment. Borrowers further agree to pay the Fixed Rate Price Adjustment, Fixed Rate Taxes and Regulatory Costs, if any, whether or not any Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds. |
18
2.8 | Payments. |
(a) | Manner and Time of Payment. All principal, interest and fees payable hereunder shall be paid to Administrative Agent and shall be made without condition or reservation of right and free of set-off or counterclaim, in Dollars and by wire transfer (pursuant to Administrative Agent’s written wire transfer instructions) of immediately available funds for the account of each Lender as applicable, not later than 11:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the date due; and funds received by Administrative Agent after that time and date shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. Borrowers shall have no obligation to make any payments of amounts due hereunder directly to Lenders; all such amounts shall be payable to Administrative Agent. |
(b) | Payments on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made by Borrowers hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, payments shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder and of any fees due under this Agreement, as the case may be. |
(c) | Auto-Debit. In order to assure timely payment to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, of accrued interest, principal, fees and late charges due and owing under the Loan, Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent to directly debit the Debit Account for payment when due of all such amounts payable to Administrative Agent or any Lender. Written confirmation of the amount and purpose of any such direct debit shall be given to Borrowers by Administrative Agent not less frequently than monthly. In the event any direct debit hereunder is returned for insufficient funds, Borrowers shall pay Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, upon demand, in immediately available funds, all amounts and expenses due and owing, including without limitation any late fees incurred, to Administrative Agent or any Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Administrative Agent hereby agrees that it shall not auto-debit the Debit Account for interest payments due under the Loan until the seventh (7th) day of each calendar month during the term of the Loan (notwithstanding the fact that interest is due and payable under the Loan on the first day of each month). |
(d) | Voluntary Prepayment. |
(i) | Borrowers may, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the date given, at any time and from time to time, prepay all or any portion of the Loan. |
(ii) | Any notice of prepayment given to Administrative Agent under this Section 2.8(d) shall specify the date of prepayment and the principal amount of the prepayment. In the event of a prepayment of any Fixed Rate Portion, Borrower shall concurrently pay any Fixed Rate Price Adjustment payable in respect thereof. Any principal balance reduction shall reduce the Aggregate Commitment by a like amount (which such reduction shall automatically reduce each Lender’s Commitment on a pro rata basis), and any amounts repaid may not be reborrowed, subject to the terms of Section 2.1(b) and Section 3.5 below. |
2.9 | Full Repayment and Reconveyance. Upon receipt of all sums owing and outstanding under the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall issue a full reconveyance of the Properties from the lien of the Security Documents; provided, that Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, shall have received all escrow, closing and recording costs, the costs of preparing and delivering such reconveyances and any sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents. Lenders’ obligations to make further disbursements under the Loan shall terminate as to any portion of the |
19
Loan undisbursed as of the date of issuance of such full release(s) or reconveyance(s), and any commitment of Lenders to lend any undisbursed portion of the Loan shall be canceled. |
2.10 | Subdivision and Reconveyance of Reconveyed Portion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything to the contrary herein, Administrative Agent and Lenders hereby acknowledge that Domain Borrower has entered into, or intends to enter into, a ground lease with Domain Gateway I, L.P., a Texas limited partnership (“Seller”), a complete unexecuted copy of which has been provided to Administrative Agent (the “Subdivision Ground Lease”). Pursuant to the Subdivision Ground Lease, Domain Borrower has or will agree to reconvey a portion of the Xxxxxxxxx Property to Seller (the “Reconveyed Portion”), subject to certain conditions more specifically described in the Subdivision Ground Lease, including, without limitation, the proper subdivision of the Reconveyed Portion from the balance of the Xxxxxxxxx Property. In furtherance of the foregoing, Administrative Agent and Lenders hereby agree (a) to execute any Subdivision Map or any other document reasonably required in connection with the subdivision of the Reconveyed Portion from the balance of the Xxxxxxxxx Property and (b) to reconvey, without consideration, the Reconveyed Portion in connection with the transfer thereof from Domain Borrower to Seller, subject to satisfaction of the following conditions: |
(a) | Administrative Agent shall have received any and all escrow, closing and recording costs, the costs of preparing and delivering such partial reconveyance and the cost of any title insurance endorsements available in the State of Texas and reasonably requested by Administrative Agent; |
(b) | Administrative Agent shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that: (i) the Reconveyed Portion and the balance of the Xxxxxxxxx Property are (or shall be, following Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ execution of such Subdivision Map or any other documents as reasonably required by Domain Borrower) each legal parcels lawfully created in compliance with all subdivision laws and ordinances; (ii) that the portion of the Xxxxxxxxx Property which shall remain encumbered by the Security Document has the benefit of all utilities, easements, public and/or private streets, covenants, conditions and restrictions as may be necessary, in Administrative Agent’s reasonable opinion, for the continued operation thereof in conformance with the use of the Xxxxxxxxx Property as of the date hereof; and (iii) the subdivision and reconveyance of the Reconveyed Portion will not be a default under the OneWest Bank Lease, permit OneWest Bank to terminate the OneWest Bank Lease or otherwise result in a reduction of rent for which OneWest Bank is obligated under the OneWest Bank Lease. |
2.11 | Lenders’ Accounting. Administrative Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books in which shall be recorded (a) the names and addresses and the Pro Rata Shares of the commitment of each of the Lenders, and principal amount of the Loan owing to each Lender from time to time, and (b) all repayments of principal and payments of accrued interest, as well as payments of fees required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with Administrative Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. Monthly, or at such other interval as is customary with Administrative Agent’s practice, Administrative Agent will render a statement of the Loan Account to Borrowers and will deliver a copy thereof to each Lender. Each such statement shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrowers in all respects as to all matters reflected therein (absent manifest error). |
2.12 | Secured Swap Obligations. Lenders agree that the Security Documents shall secure the payment of the Loan and the payment of Borrowers’ obligations under any Secured Swap Obligations on a pari passu basis. |

Administrative Agent, may delay or refuse to accept a funds transfer request if the transfer would: (a) violate the terms of this authorization, (b) require use of a bank unacceptable to Administrative Agent or any Lender or prohibited by government authority; (iii) cause Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk control program or guideline; or (iv) otherwise cause Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any applicable law or regulation. |
(d) | Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable to Borrowers or any other parties for: (i) errors, acts or failures to act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearinghouses, through which Borrowers’ transfers may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of Administrative Agent or any Lender, (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond Administrative Agent or any Lender’s control, or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, whether or not (a) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract or (b) Administrative Agent or any Lender or Borrowers knew or should have known the likelihood of these damages in any situation. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender makes any representations or warranties other than those expressly made in this Agreement. |
3.9 | Borrowers’ Representatives. In order to facilitate timely and efficient management of the Loan, each Borrower hereby appoints and authorizes Manager, acting alone, to serve as the authorized representative of all Borrowers.

ARTICLE 6
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
In order to induce Lenders to make the Loan, Borrowers hereby represent and warrant to Administrative Agent and each Lender as of the Effective Date and continuing thereafter as follows:
6.1 | Organization; Corporate Powers. Each Borrower (a) is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, (b) is duly qualified to do business as a foreign entity and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases real property or in which the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified, except for those jurisdictions where failure to so qualify and be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and (c) has all requisite power and authority, as the case may be, to own, operate and encumber its property and assets and to conduct its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted in connection with and following the consummation of the Loan contemplated by the Loan Documents. Each Borrower’s chief executive office is located at its address for notice set forth below the words “Accounting Matters” below such Borrower’s signature hereto. |
6.2 | Authority. Each Borrower has the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and performance thereof, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, have been duly approved by the equity owners of each Borrower and no other proceedings or authorizations on the part of any Borrower or its equity owners are necessary to consummate such transactions, except for such as have been obtained or effected and true and correct copies of which have been delivered to Administrative Agent. Each of the Loan Documents to which a Borrower is a party has been duly executed and delivered by the applicable Borrower and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally. |
6.3 | Ownership of Borrower. Schedule 6.3 sets forth the direct and indirect owners of Borrowers (but not any owners, direct or indirect, of KBS REIT) and the owners’ respective ownership percentages therein, and there are no other ownership interests outstanding. Except as set forth or referred to in the organizational documents of Borrowers, no ownership interest (or any securities, instruments, warrants, option or purchase rights, conversion or exchange rights, calls, |

9.14 | Special Representations, Covenants and Waivers. |
(a) | The parties hereto recognize and acknowledge that a Borrower may from time to time have advanced to it under the Loan an aggregate principal amount in excess of the borrowing that would otherwise be supported by real property collateral encumbered under Security Documents. The Loan has been established in the manner provided herein (and with the possible result referred to in the foregoing sentence) at the express request of, and to accommodate the administrative and operational requirements of, the Borrowers and Guarantor. Specifically, the Loan might have been established to provide a limit on direct borrowings by Borrowers consistent with the specific borrowing base limitations imposed by real property collateral owned by such Borrowers, with additional credit needs of such Borrowers in excess thereof being accommodated by inter-company loans from Borrower(s) with excess borrowing capacity to such other Borrowers requiring additional funds. However, for administrative and operational reasons imposed by the Borrowers and Guarantor, as aforesaid, the Loan has been established as provided herein, but with the intention, as confirmed in subsection (b) below, that the Borrowers and Guarantor ultimately share, among themselves repayment and/or reimbursement obligations under the Loan to the same extent as if such borrowings had been made under the alternative disbursement procedure described in the preceding sentence. In addition, it is further recognized and acknowledged that (i) each Borrower and Guarantor shall directly and indirectly benefit from the expansion of business operations, as facilitated by the Loan, of each other Borrower, including, without limitation, the present and future contracting for goods and services as between the Borrowers and Guarantor |
34
in respect of their business operations, and (ii) Administrative Agent and Lenders have no intention or obligation to track the disbursement or use of Loan proceeds as between the various Borrower and Guarantor entities. |
(b) | In connection with its joint and several obligations under the Loan Documents, each Borrower waives: (i) any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other Borrower, or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other Borrower from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any Borrower or any principal thereof or any defect in the formation of any Borrower or any such principal; (iii) any defense based upon the application by any Borrower of the proceeds of the Loan for purposes other than the purposes permitted under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iv) any and all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Lenders; (v) any defense based upon Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s failure to disclose any information concerning any other Borrower’s financial condition or any other circumstances bearing on any other Borrower’s ability to pay all sums payable under the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents; (vi) 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 ore burdensome than that of a principal; (vii) any defense based upon the Lenders’ election, in any proceeding instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute; (viii) any defense based upon, any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (ix) any right of subrogation, any right to enforce any remedy which the Lenders may have against any other Borrower and any right to participate in, or benefit from, any security for the Notes or the other Loan Documents now or hereafter held by the Lenders; and (x) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the liability of each Borrower or the enforcement hereof. Each Borrower agrees that the payment of all sums payable under the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or any part thereof or other act which tolls any statute of limitations applicable to the Notes or other Loan Documents shall similarly operate to toll the statute of limitations applicable to each Borrower’s liability hereunder. Lenders may (A) apply security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Lenders in their sole discretion may determine; (B) release, substitute or add any one or more endorsers of the Notes or guarantors of Borrowers’ obligations under the Note or the other Loan Documents; and (C) apply payments received by the Administrative Agent from Borrowers to any obligations of Borrowers to the Lenders, in such order as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. If all or any portion of the obligations of any Borrowers are paid or performed, the obligations of each other Borrower hereunder shall continue and shall remain in full force and effect in the event that all or any part of such payment or performance is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from the Lenders as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise under the Bankruptcy Code or other similar laws, irrespective of full payment and performance of all of the indebtedness and obligations evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents. Each Borrower acknowledges that: (a) the obligations under the Loan Documents are complex in nature, (b) numerous possible defenses to the enforceability of these obligations may presently exist and/or may arise hereafter, and (c) as part of the Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ consideration for entering into these transactions, the Administrative Agent and Lenders have specifically bargained for the waiver and relinquishment by each Borrower of all such defenses, and each Borrower has had the opportunity to seek and receive legal advice from skilled legal counsel in the area of financial transactions of the type contemplated herein. Given all of the above, each Borrower does hereby represent and confirm to Administrative Agent and each Lender that each Borrower is fully informed regarding, and thoroughly understands: (i) the nature of all such possible defenses, (ii) the circumstances under which such defenses may |
35
arise, (iii) the benefits which such defenses might confer upon Borrower, and (iv) the legal consequences to Borrower of waiving such defenses. Each Borrower acknowledges that all of the informed waivers herein shall be fully enforceable by the Administrative Agent and Lenders, and that Administrative Agent and Lenders are induced to enter into this transaction in material reliance upon the presumed full enforceability thereof. |
(c) | Without limiting subsection (b) above, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby specifically waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any provision of subsection (b) above, each Borrower further expressly waives to the extent permitted by law any and all rights and defenses, including, without limitation, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution, which might otherwise be available to such Borrower |
9.15 | Environmental Insurance Proceeds. Subject to the terms of the Security Documents, Borrowers shall apply any proceeds received on account of environmental insurance policies maintained by Borrowers which relate to one or more of the Properties for remediation of the environmentally impaired Property or Properties giving rise to the relevant insurance claim. |
9.16 | Draws Under OneWest Bank Letter of Credit. |
(a) | Borrowers’ assignment of leases and rents pursuant to the Security Documents shall expressly be understood to include, as additional security for the Loan, any lease guaranty which the applicable Borrower receives in conjunction with any Lease. Additionally, Domain Borrower shall (i) deliver to Administrative Agent, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Effective Date, the original OneWest Bank Letter of Credit and (ii) use reasonable efforts to deliver to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Effective Date, (x) an assignment of proceeds of the OneWest Bank Letter of Credit together with a consent from the issuer of the OneWest Bank Letter of Credit assigning to Administrative Agent all rights to proceeds from draws under the OneWest Bank Letter of Credit as additional security for the Loan and (y) an executed transfer of beneficiary document with respect to the OneWest Bank Letter of Credit (provided, however, that such transfer document shall not be presented to the issuer thereof except following a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure under the Security Document recorded as a lien on the Xxxxxxxxx Property or a failure by Domain Borrower to comply with the requirements of subsection (c) or (d) below). Pursuant to such assignment of proceeds, all draws under OneWest Bank Letter of Credit shall be deposited (upon payment by the applicable issuing bank with respect to the OneWest Bank Letter of Credit) by Administrative Agent into a blocked account at Xxxxx Fargo Bank established for such purpose, which account, if and when established, is hereby pledged to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, as additional collateral for the Loan and Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Documents (the “OneWest Bank Tenant Security Account”).

Borrowers hereby grant to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a security interest in said OneWest Bank Letter of Credit and all proceeds thereof. |
(b) | Provided there is no Default by Borrowers which is continuing under this Agreement, Domain Borrower may request a withdrawal of funds from the OneWest Bank Tenant Security Account for application in respect of tenant defaults under the OneWest Bank Lease and to cover any losses (including, without limitation, rent under the OneWest Bank Lease that is not paid when due) which Domain Borrower certifies in writing to Administrative Agent are recoverable from the OneWest Bank Letter of Credit, and Administrative Agent shall, within five (5) Business Days from the date of Domain |

Borrower’s request, disburse to Domain Borrower from the OneWest Bank Tenant Security Account such requested amount. |
(c) | Domain Borrower shall (i) promptly notify Administrative Agent of any event or condition which permits a draw under a OneWest Bank Letter of Credit, (ii) provide to Administrative Agent a copy of the notice of lease default, as applicable, and (iii) in a timely manner request a draw from the issuing bank of the OneWest Bank Letter of Credit. Additionally, if such issuing bank notifies Domain Borrower in writing that such issuing bank will not renew the OneWest Bank Letter of Credit (or if OneWest Bank has failed to provide a replacement letter of credit not later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration thereof), then Borrowers shall (x) provide Administrative Agent prompt written notice of such nonrenewal or failure, and (y) timely draw the full amount under the OneWest Bank Letter of Credit (with the proceeds thereof to be deposited directly into the OneWest Bank Tenant Security Account). Domain Borrower shall not amend or terminate the OneWest Bank Letter of Credit without Administrative Agent’s prior approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). |
(d) | The procedures for a draw under the OneWest Bank Letter of Credit shall be as follows: No later than four (4) Business Days following written notice to Administrative Agent of an event or condition which permits a draw under the OneWest Bank Letter of Credit (with all documentation and certifications as required by this Section 9.16 from the Domain Borrower pursuant to subsection (c) above), Administrative Agent shall either (i) return the OneWest Bank Letter of Credit to Domain Borrower so that Domain Borrower can draw the full amount which may be drawn thereunder when such credit may be drawn (and, in any event not later than twenty (20) days prior to the expiration thereof), or (ii) present the OneWest Bank Letter of Credit to the issuing bank directly, in which case Domain Borrower shall concurrently provide to such issuing bank any required draw request or other reasonable documentation so that the full amount which may be drawn thereunder is drawn, in either such case with the proceeds of such draw to be deposited (upon payment by the applicable issuing bank with respect to the OneWest Bank Letter of Credit) by Administrative Agent into the OneWest Bank Tenant Security Account. Immediately following any partial draw by Domain Borrower under the OneWest Bank Letter of Credit, Domain Borrower shall return (or cause to be returned) the original OneWest Bank Letter of Credit to Administrative Agent to be held by Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 9.16. Domain Borrower also shall take such other actions consistent with the foregoing as may reasonably be requested by Administrative Agent with respect to the OneWest Bank Letter of Credit so long as such actions will not result in liability to Domain Borrower. |
(e) | Upon satisfaction of the Loan in full, the OneWest Bank Letter of Credit shall, if then held by Administrative Agent, be returned to Domain Borrower within five (5) Business Days after the Loan is paid in full. In addition, following termination of the OneWest Bank Lease, the OneWest Bank Letter of Credit shall, if then held by Administrative Agent, be returned to Domain Borrower to the extent that Domain Borrower is obligated to return same to OneWest Bank. |
(f) | Domain Borrower hereby represents to and for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders that, to Domain Borrower’s knowledge, nothing contained in this Section 9.16 conflicts with the terms of the OneWest Bank Lease. In addition, the indemnity provisions contained in Section 13.1 of this Agreement shall apply to and include any claims against Administrative Agent or Lenders by OneWest Bank or the issuer of the OneWest Bank Letters of Credit, or by any person or entity on behalf OneWest Bank. |

Administrative Agent’s exercise of any right or remedy shall not constitute a cure of any Default unless all sums then due and payable to Lenders under the Loan Documents are repaid and Borrowers have cured all other Defaults. No waiver shall be implied from any failure of Administrative Agent to take, or any delay by Administrative Agent in taking, action concerning any Default or failure of condition under the Loan Documents, or from any previous waiver of any similar or unrelated Default or failure of condition. Any waiver or approval under any of the Loan Documents must be in writing and shall be limited to its specific terms. |
ARTICLE 12
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT; INTERCREDITOR PROVISIONS
The following provisions of this Article 12 shall govern the relationship of the Administrative Agent and Lenders and Borrower shall have no obligations hereunder:
12.1 | Appointment and Authorization. |
(a) | Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. |
(b) | Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. |
(c) | Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Administrative Agent”, “Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. |
(d) | The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 10. The Administrative Agent will also furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers, any Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrowers, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. |
45
(e) | As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of Borrowers’ obligations hereunder), Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the obligations of Borrowers; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Requirements of Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Potential Default or Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the Other Related Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders. |
12.2 | Xxxxx Fargo as Lender. Xxxxx Fargo, as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Xxxxx Fargo in each case in its individual capacity. Xxxxx Fargo and its affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders. Further, the Administrative Agent and any affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrowers for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Xxxxx Fargo or its affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrowers, other loan parties, other subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. |
12.3 | Loan Disbursements. |
(a) | On the Effective Date, and following each subsequent request for disbursement from Borrower which request shall be sent by Administrative Agent to each Lender and shall identify the proposed Funding Date, each Lender shall make available to Administrative Agent (or the funding bank or entity designated by Administrative Agent), the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan in immediately available funds not later than the times designated in Section 12.3(b). Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender not later than the close of business (San Francisco time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Effective Date or any subsequent Funding Date in respect of any disbursement that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender shall make such amount available to Administrative Agent. If any Lender does not notify Administrative Agent of its intention not to make available its Pro Rata Share of such disbursement as described above, but does not for any reason make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement, such Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate. In any case where a Lender does not for any reason make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement, Administrative Agent, in its sole |
46
discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, fund to Borrowers such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement. If Administrative Agent funds to Borrowers such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement and if such Lender subsequently pays to Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement. Nothing in this Section 12.3(a) shall alter the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder in respect of a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Pro Rata Advance. |
(b) | Requests by Administrative Agent for funding by Lenders of disbursements will be made by telecopy. Each Lender shall make the amount of its disbursement available to Administrative Agent in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to such bank and account, in El Segundo, California (to such bank and account in such other place) as Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 9:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the date designated by Administrative Agent with respect to such disbursement, which date shall be not earlier than three (3) Business Days following Lender’s receipt of Administrative Agent’s request. |
(c) | Nothing in this Section 12.3 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Pro Rata Share of disbursements on the date designated by Administrative Agent, nor shall Administrative Agent or any Lender be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to perform its obligations to make any disbursement hereunder, and the Commitment of any Lender shall not be increased or decreased as a result of the failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make a disbursement. |
12.4 | Distribution and Apportionment of Payments; Defaulting Lenders. |
(a) | Subject to Section 12.4(b) below, payments actually received by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders shall be paid to them promptly after receipt thereof by Administrative Agent, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, provided that Administrative Agent shall pay to Lenders interest thereon, at the lesser of (i) the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) the rate of interest applicable to the Loan, from the Business Day following receipt of such funds by Administrative Agent until such funds are paid in immediately available funds to Lenders. All payments of principal, interest, and other payments under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall be allocated among such of Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares in the Loan or otherwise as provided herein or as separately agreed by Administrative Agent and any Lender. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, to each Lender at its primary address set forth on the appropriate signature page hereof or on the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, or at such other address as a Lender may request in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, provided that Administrative Agent shall in any event not be bound to inquire into or determine the validity, scope or priority of any interest or entitlement of any Lender and may suspend all payments and seek appropriate relief (including, without limitation, instructions from Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, or an action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or dispute as to any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby. The order of priority herein is set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of Lenders as among themselves and may at any time or from time to time be changed by Lenders as they may elect, in writing in accordance with this Agreement, without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by Borrowers or any other Person. All payments or other sums received by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders shall not constitute property or assets of the Administrative Agent and shall be held by Administrative Agent, solely in its capacity as agent for itself and the other Lenders, subject to the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents. |
47
(b) | Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, until such time as a Defaulting Lender has funded its Pro Rata Share of a Protective Advance or prior Loan disbursements which was previously a Non-Pro Rata Advance, or all other Lenders have received payment in full (whether by repayment or prepayment) of the amounts due in respect of such Non-Pro Rata Advance, all of the indebtedness and obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of payment, as provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all principal, interest and fees in respect of all Non-Pro Rata Advances in which the Defaulting Lender has not funded its Pro Rata Share (such principal, interest and fees being referred to as “Senior Loans”). All amounts paid by Borrowers and otherwise due to be applied to the indebtedness and obligations owing to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Loan (recalculated for purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan), until all Senior Loans have been paid in full. This provision governs only the relationship among Administrative Agent, each Defaulting Lender, and the other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit the obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement. The provisions of this section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether a Default occurs and is then continuing, and notwithstanding (a) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (b) any instruction of Borrowers as to its desired application of payments or (c) the suspension of such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of Requisite Lenders or all Lenders. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to (i) withhold or setoff, and to apply to the payment of the defaulted amount and any related interest, any amounts to be paid to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. In addition, the Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities and costs, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate as set forth in the Notes, which they may sustain or incur by reason of or as a direct consequence of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations under this Agreement. |
12.5 | Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from Lenders shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of the fees shall be made for the account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loan by the Borrowers shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loan held by them, provided that if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of the Loan the outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in effect at the time the Loan was made, then such payment shall be applied to the Loan in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Loan being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; and (c) each payment of interest on the Loan by the Borrowers shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on the Loan then due and payable to the respective Lenders. |
12.6 | Sharing of Payments, Etc. Lenders agree among themselves that (i) with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment of the obligations of Borrowers or Guarantor under the Loan, equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares in the Loan, whether received by voluntary payment, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any or all of such obligations, (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such obligations held by it which is greater than its Pro Rata Share in the Loan of the payments on |
48
account of such obligations, the one receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such obligations owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with such Pro Rata Shares; provided, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to that party to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery. Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 12.6 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation. |
12.7 | Collateral Matters; Protective Advances. |
(a) | Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to a Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral, Loan Documents or Other Related Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents. |
(b) | The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of all of obligations of Borrowers hereunder; (ii) as expressly permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; and (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section. |
(c) | Upon any sale and transfer of Collateral which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the obligations of Borrowers or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, including (without limitation) the proceeds of such sale or transfer, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by the Administrative Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure. |
(d) | The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, |
49
disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent in this Section or in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. |
(e) | The Administrative Agent may make, and shall be reimbursed by the Lenders (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares) to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers for, Protective Advances during any one calendar year with respect to any Property that is Collateral up to the sum of (i) amounts expended to pay real estate taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon such Property; (ii) amounts expended to pay insurance premiums for policies of insurance related to such Property; and (iii) $100,000. Protective Advances in excess of said sum during any calendar year for any Property that is Collateral shall require the consent of the Requisite Lenders. The Borrowers agree to pay on demand all Protective Advances. |
(f) | Each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against Borrowers or any other obligor hereunder under the Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents with respect to exercising claims against or rights in the Collateral without the written consent of Requisite Lenders. |
12.8 | Post-Foreclosure Plans. If all or any portion of the Collateral is to be acquired by the Administrative Agent as a result of a foreclosure or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any part of the obligations of Borrowers hereunder, the title to any such Collateral, or any portion thereof, shall be held in the name of the Administrative Agent or a nominee or subsidiary of the Administrative Agent, as agent, for the ratable benefit of all Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall prepare a recommended course of action for such Collateral (a “Post-Foreclosure Plan”), which shall be subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders. In accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, the Administrative Agent shall manage, operate, repair, administer, complete, construct, restore or otherwise deal with the Collateral acquired, and shall administer all transactions relating thereto, including, without limitation, employing a management agent, leasing agent and other agents, contractors and employees, including agents for the sale of such Collateral, and the collecting of rents and other sums from such Collateral and paying the expenses of such Collateral. Actions taken by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral, which are not specifically provided for in the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan or reasonably incidental thereto, shall require the written consent of the Requisite Lenders by way of supplement to such Post-Foreclosure Plan. Upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender will contribute its share (based on its Pro Rata Share) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan in connection with the construction, operation, management, maintenance, leasing and sale of such Collateral. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall render or cause to be rendered to each Lender, on a monthly basis, an income and expense statement for such Collateral, and each Lender shall promptly contribute its Pro Rata Share of any operating loss for such Collateral, and such other expenses and operating reserves as the Administrative Agent shall deem reasonably necessary pursuant to and in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan. To the extent there is net operating income from such Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall, in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to the Lenders. All such distributions shall be made to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. The Lenders acknowledge and agree that if title to any Collateral is obtained by the Administrative Agent or its nominee, such Collateral will not be held as a permanent investment but will be liquidated as soon as practicable. The Administrative Agent shall undertake to sell such Collateral, at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Requisite Lenders reasonably shall determine to |
50
be most advantageous to the Lenders. Any purchase money mortgage or deed of trust taken in connection with the disposition of such Collateral in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall name the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Lenders, as the beneficiary or mortgagee. In such case, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall enter into an agreement with respect to such purchase money mortgage or deed of trust defining the rights of the Lenders in the same Pro Rata Shares as provided hereunder, which agreement shall be in all material respects similar to this Article insofar as the same is appropriate or applicable. |
12.9 | Approvals of Lenders. All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Administrative Agent (together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination. |
12.10 | Notice of Defaults. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Potential Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Potential Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Potential Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”. Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. |
12.11 | Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrowers or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrowers or other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of the Borrowers or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any Collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders |
51
in any such Collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. |
12.12 | Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Regardless of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents are consummated, each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a “Lender”) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents and/or collect any obligation of Borrower hereunder, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Hazardous Materials Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loan and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrowers shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment. |
12.13 | Lender Credit Decision, Etc. Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrowers, |
52
any other Loan Party or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel, and based on the financial statements of the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties or Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Borrowers, any other Loan Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates. Each Lender acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender. |
12.14 | Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Potential Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrowers shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 12. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice. |
12.15 | Titled Agents. Each of the Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Book Runner (each a “Titled Agent”) in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, |
53
without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of the Loan, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Titled Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, Borrowers or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled. |
12.16 | No Set-Offs. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the exercise by any Lender of offset, set-off, banker’s lien or similar rights against any deposit account or other property or asset of Borrowers, regardless of the state in which the property is located, could result under certain laws in significant impairment of the ability of all Lenders to recover any further amounts in respect of the Loan. Therefore, each Lender agrees not to charge or offset any amount owed to it by Borrowers against any of the accounts, property or assets of Borrowers or any of its affiliates held by such Lender without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders. |
ARTICLE 13

BORROWERS’ DUTY AND OBLIGATIONS TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS INDEMNITEES SHALL SURVIVE CANCELLATION OF THE NOTES AND THE RELEASE, RECONVEYANCE OR PARTIAL RECONVEYANCE OF THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT BORROWERS SHALL NOT HAVE ANY OBLIGATION TO AN INDEMNITEE HEREUNDER WITH RESPECT TO (A) MATTERS FOR WHICH SUCH INDEMNITEE HAS BEEN COMPENSATED PURSUANT TO OR FOR WHICH AN EXEMPTION IS PROVIDED IN ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND (B) INDEMNIFIED MATTERS TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY OR RESULTING FROM THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF THAT INDEMNITEE, AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE UNDERTAKING TO INDEMNIFY, PAY AND HOLD HARMLESS SET FORTH IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE MAY BE UNENFORCEABLE BECAUSE IT IS VIOLATIVE OF ANY LAW OR PUBLIC POLICY, BORROWERS SHALL CONTRIBUTE THE MAXIMUM PORTION WHICH IT IS PERMITTED TO PAY AND SATISFY UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, TO THE PAYMENT AND SATISFACTION OF ALL INDEMNIFIED MATTERS INCURRED BY THE INDEMNITEES. |
54

13.3 | No Third Parties Benefited. No person other than Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrowers and their permitted successors and assigns shall have any right of action under any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents. |

13.5 | Attorney-In-Fact. Borrowers hereby irrevocably appoint and authorize Administrative Agent, as each Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest, to execute and/or record in Administrative Agent’s or Borrower’s name any notices, instruments or documents that Administrative Agent deems appropriate to protect Lenders’ interest under any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents. |
13.6 | Actions. Borrowers agree that Administrative Agent or any Lender, in exercising the rights, duties or liabilities of Administrative Agent, Lenders or Borrowers under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, may commence, appear in or defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Property, the Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents and Borrowers shall immediately reimburse Administrative Agent (or, following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, such Lender) upon demand for all such expenses so incurred or paid by Administrative Agent (or such Lender, as applicable) including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs. |
13.7 | Right of Contest. Borrowers may contest in good faith any claim, demand, levy or assessment (other than Liens and stop notices) by any person other than Administrative Agent or Lenders which would constitute a Default if: (a) Borrowers pursues the contest diligently, in a manner which Administrative Agent determines is not prejudicial to Administrative Agent or any Lender, and does not impair the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents; and (b) Borrowers deposits with Administrative Agent any funds or other forms of assurance which Administrative Agent in good faith determines from time to time appropriate to protect Administrative Agent and each Lender from the consequences of the contest being unsuccessful. Borrowers’ compliance with this Section shall operate to prevent such claim, demand, levy or assessment from becoming a Default. |
13.8 | Relationship of Parties. The relationship of Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender, and Administrative Agent and Lenders neither undertake nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrowers or to any third party with respect to any Property, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents. |
13.9 | Delay Outside Lender’s Control. No Lender or Administrative Agent shall be liable in any way to Borrower or any third party for Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s failure to perform or delay |
55
in performing under the Loan Documents (and Administrative Agent or any Lender may suspend or terminate all or any portion of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents) if such failure to perform or delay in performing results directly or indirectly from, or is based upon, the action, inaction, or purported action, of any governmental or local authority, or because of war, rebellion, insurrection, strike, lock-out, boycott or blockade (whether presently in effect, announced or in the sole judgment of Administrative Agent or such Lender deemed probable), or from any Act of God or other cause or event beyond Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s control. |
13.10 | Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses; Enforcement. If any attorney is engaged by Administrative Agent or, following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, any Lender, to enforce or defend any provision of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, or as a consequence of any Default under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, and including, without limitation, any fees and expenses incurred in any bankruptcy proceeding of the Borrowers, then Borrowers shall immediately pay to Administrative Agent or such Lender, upon demand, the amount of all attorneys’ fees and expenses and all costs incurred by Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection therewith, together with interest thereon from the date of such demand until paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance of the Loan. |
13.11 | Immediately Available Funds. Unless otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, all amounts payable by Borrowers under the Loan Documents shall be payable only in United States Dollars, immediately available funds. |
13.12 | Amendments and Waivers. |
(a) | Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or in any Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, (ii) any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document (other than any fee letter solely between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) may be amended, (iii) the performance or observance by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document (other than any fee letter solely between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) may be waived, and (iv) the continuance of any Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders), and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party which is party thereto. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent, shall be authorized on behalf of all the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to, or further consent from, any Lender, to waive the imposition of the late fees provided in Section 2.7(c), up to a maximum of 3 times per calendar year. |

(iii) | reduce the amount of any fees payable to the Lenders hereunder; |

(c) | Amendment of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc.

Any Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrowers shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. |
13.13 Successors | and Assigns. |
(a) | Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all the Lenders (and any such assignment or transfer to which all of the Lenders have not consented shall be void). |
(b) | Participations. Any Lender may at any time grant to an affiliate of such Lender, or one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or the obligations owing to such Lender hereunder. No Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such |
57
Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided however, such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loan or a portion thereof owing to such Lender (other than as expressly contemplated by Section 2.6), (iii) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon, or (iv) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, unless replacement collateral is provided. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b) |
(c) | Assignments. Any Lender may with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld) at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes; provided, however, (i) no such consent by the Borrower shall be required (x) if a Default or Potential Default shall exist or (y) in the case of an assignment to another Lender or an affiliate of another Lender; (ii) any partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000 and after giving effect to such assignment the assigning Lender retains a Commitment, and (iii) each such assignment shall be effected by means of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Unless Borrower gives written notice to Lender that it objects to the proposed assignment (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) days following receipt of Lender’s written request for approval of the proposed assignment, Borrower shall be deemed to have approved such assignment Upon execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be deemed to be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangement so the new Notes are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $4,500. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to the Borrower, or any of its respective Affiliates or subsidiaries. |
(d) | Borrowers Cooperation. In the event of any such sale, assignment or participation, a Lender and the parties to such transaction shall share in the rights and obligations of Lender as set forth in the Loan Documents only as and to the extent they agree among themselves. Borrowers will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Lender in connection with the assignment of interests under this Agreement or the sale of participations herein, and, upon written request by Lender, Borrowers shall enter into such amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably required in order to evidence any such sale, assignment or participation, including separate Notes, so long as (i) Borrowers’ obligations are not increased thereunder in any material respect and (ii) Borrowers incur no additional costs or additional liabilities in connection therewith. |
58
(e) | Tax Withholding. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first day on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any Lender, each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, or a state thereof, shall furnish the Administrative Agent and Borrower with a properly completed executed copy of either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN and either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and any additional form (or such other form) as is necessary to claim complete exemption from United States withholding taxes on all payments hereunder. At all times each Lender shall own or beneficially own a Note, such Lender shall (i) promptly provide to the Administrative Agent and Borrower a new Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN and Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and any additional form (or such other form) (or any successor form or forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable United States laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such Lender, and (ii) comply at all times with all applicable United States laws and regulations, including all provisions of any applicable tax treaty, with regard to any withholding tax exemption claimed with respect to any payments on the Loan. If any Lender cannot deliver such form, then Borrower may withhold from payments due under the Loan Documents such amounts as Borrower is able to determine from accurate information provided by such Lender are required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
(f) | Federal Reserve Bank Assignments. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Section, any Lender may at any time and from time to time, pledge and assign all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge of assignment shall release such Lender from its obligation thereunder. |
(g) | Information to Assignee, Etc. A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower, any subsidiary or any other Loan Party in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Assignees and Participants (including prospective Assignees and Participants). In connection with such negotiation, execution and delivery, Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent and Lenders to communicate all information and documentation related to the Loan (whether to Borrower or to any Participant, Assignee, legal counsel, appraiser or other necessary party) directly by e-mail, fax, or other electronic means used to transmit information. |
13.14 | Capital Adequacy. |
(a) | If any Lender or any Participant in the Loan determines that compliance with any law or regulation or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or such Participant, or any corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant, as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s or such Participant’s or such corporation’s Commitment or its making or maintaining loans below the rate which such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of such Lender or such Participant or corporation with regard to capital), then the Borrower shall, from time to time, within thirty (30) calendar days after written demand by such Lender or such Participant, pay to such Lender or such Participant additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant to the extent that such Lender or such Participant determines such increase in capital is allocable to such Lender’s or such Participant’s obligations hereunder. |
59
(b) | Additional Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding clause (a), the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its calculation of Effective Rates hereunder with reference to the LIBO Rate or its obligation to calculate Effective Rates hereunder with reference to the LIBO Rate, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents as a result of the Effective Rates under this Agreement being calculated with reference to the LIBO Rate or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of amounts outstanding hereunder which are accruing interest at an Effective Rate calculated with reference to the LIBO Rate or its Commitments (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income of such Lender or of its Lending Office for any loans made upon which interest is calculated with reference to the LIBO Rate by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Lending Office), or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (including without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which Effective Rates calculated with reference to the LIBO Rate are determined) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder) or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy). |
(c) | Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR-Based Rates. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsection (a) and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which Effective Rates are calculated with reference to the LIBO Rate as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes interest rates calculated with reference to the LIBO Rate or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or continue advances on which interest is calculated with reference to the LIBO Rate, or to convert an advance on which the interest rate is calculated with reference to the Federal Funds Rate into an advance on which the Effective Rate is calculated with reference to the LIBO Rate and/or the obligations of a Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote to determine an Effective Rate with reference to the LIBO Rate hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 2.7(e)(i)(B) shall apply). |
(d) | Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the Effective Date entitling Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Participant to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Participant to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder. Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Participant, as |
60
the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section. Determinations by Administrative Agent, such Lender, or such Participant, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. |
13.15 | Lender’s Agents. Administrative Agent and/or any Lender may designate an agent or independent contractor to exercise any of such Person’s rights under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents. Any reference to Administrative Agent or any Lender in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall include Administrative Agent’s and such Lender’s agents, employees or independent contractors. Borrowers shall pay the costs of such agent or independent contractor either directly to such person or to Administrative Agent or such Lender in reimbursement of such costs, as applicable. |
13.16 | Tax Service. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is authorized to secure, at Borrowers’ expense, a tax service contract with a third party vendor which shall provide tax information on the Property satisfactory to Administrative Agent. |
13.17 | WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THEN APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (a) ARISING UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE MODIFICATION THEREOF OR (b) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS (AS NOW OR HEREAFTER MODIFIED) OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION IS NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT THEY MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY. |
13.18 | Severability. If any provision or obligation under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been a part of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, provided, however, that if the rate of interest or any other amount payable under the Notes or this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the right of collectibility therefor, are declared to be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable, Lenders’ obligations to make advances under the Loan Documents shall not be enforceable by Borrowers. |
13.19 | Time. Time is of the essence of each and every term of this Agreement. |
13.20 | Headings. All article, section or other headings appearing in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents are for convenience of reference only and shall be disregarded in construing this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents. |
13.21 | Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, except to the extent preempted by federal |
61
laws.

13.22 | USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE; COMPLIANCE. |
(a) | The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56) and federal regulations issued with respect thereto require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution.

13.23 | Electronic Document Deliveries. Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be delivered by electronic communication and delivery, including, the Internet, e-mail or intranet websites to which the Administrative Agent and each Lender have access (including a commercial, third-party website such as xxx.Xxxxx.xxx <xxxx://xxx.Xxxxx.xxx> or a website sponsored or hosted by the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers) provided that (A) the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article 12 and (B) a Lender has not notified the Administrative Agent or Borrowers that it cannot or does not want to receive electronic communications. The Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic delivery pursuant to procedures approved by it for all or particular notices or communications. Documents or notices delivered electronically shall be deemed to have been delivered twenty-four (24) hours after the date and time on which the Administrative Agent or Borrowers post such documents or the documents become available on a commercial website and the Administrative Agent or Borrowers notify each Lender of said posting and provides a link thereto provided if such notice or other communication is not sent or posted during the normal business hours of the recipient, said posting date and time shall be deemed to have commenced as of 9:00 a.m. on the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in every instance, the Borrowers shall be required to provide paper copies of the certificates required by Section 10.1(c) and Exhibit H to the Administrative Agent and shall deliver paper copies of any documents to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender that requests such paper copies until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. Except for the certificates required by Section 10.1(c) and Exhibit H, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery of or to maintain paper copies of the documents delivered electronically, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the Borrowers with any such request for delivery. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it of paper copies and maintaining its paper or electronic documents. |
13.24 | Integration; Interpretation. The Loan Documents and Other Related Documents contain or expressly incorporate by reference the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters |
62
contemplated therein and supersede all prior negotiations or agreements, written or oral.

13.26 | Counterparts. To facilitate execution, this document may be executed in as many counterparts as may be convenient or required. It shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single document. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this document to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto. Any signature page to any counterpart may be detached from such counterpart without impairing the legal effect of the signatures thereon and thereafter attached to another counterpart identical thereto except having attached to it additional signature pages. |
13.27 | Limitation on Personal Liability of Shareholders, Partners and Members. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, none of the constituent shareholders, partners or members (direct or indirect) in any Borrower shall have any liability whatsoever for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations. Without limiting in any manner the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall have no right to recover from any constituent shareholder, partner or member (direct or indirect) in any Borrower any Distribution from such Borrower; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 13.27 is intended, or shall be deemed, to constitute a waiver of any rights Administrative Agent may have under the United States Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law with respect to fraudulent transfers or conveyances. |

THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT; ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF LEASE ASSIGNMENT, ESTOPPEL, ATTORNMENT AND NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made by and between (“Owner”), (“Lessee”) and XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent for itself and certain additional lenders (“Administrative Agent”).
R E C I T A L S
A. | Pursuant to the terms and provisions of a lease dated (“Lease”), Owner, as “Lessor”, granted to Lessee a leasehold estate in and to the property described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (which property, together with all improvements now or hereafter located on the property, is defined as the “Property”). |
B. | Owner has executed, or proposes to execute, a (the “Mortgage”) securing, among other things, one or more promissory notes (collectively, as the same may be amended, restated or replaced from time to time, the “Note”) in the aggregate principal sum of $42,250,000, which Note is payable with interest and upon the terms and conditions described therein (“Loan”). |
C. | As a condition to making the Loan secured by the Mortgage, Administrative Agent requires that the Mortgage be unconditionally and at all times remain a lien on the Property, prior and superior to all the rights of Lessee under the Lease and that the Lessee specifically and unconditionally subordinate the Lease to the lien of the Mortgage. |
D. | Owner and Lessee have agreed to the subordination, attornment and other agreements herein in favor of Administrative Agent. |
NOW THEREFORE, for valuable consideration and to induce Administrative Agent to make the Loan, Owner and Lessee hereby agree for the benefit of Administrative Agent as follows:
EXHIBIT C - Page 1
1. | SUBORDINATION. Owner and Lessee hereby agree that: |
1.1 | Prior Lien. The Mortgage securing the Note, and any modifications, renewals or extensions thereof, shall unconditionally be and at all times remain a lien on the Property prior and superior to the Lease; |
1.2 | Subordination. Administrative Agent would not make the Loan without this agreement to subordinate; and |
1.3 | Whole Agreement. This Agreement shall be the whole agreement and only agreement with regard to the subordination of the Lease to the lien of the Mortgage and shall supersede and cancel, but only insofar as would affect the priority between the Mortgage and the Lease, any prior agreements as to such subordination, including, without limitation, those provisions, if any, contained in the Lease which provide for the subordination of the Lease to a deed or deeds of trust or to a mortgage or mortgages. |
AND FURTHER, Lessee individually declares, agrees and acknowledges for the benefit of Lender, that:
1.4 | Use of Proceeds. Administrative Agent, in making disbursements pursuant to the Note, the Mortgage or any loan agreements with respect to the Property, is under no obligation or duty to, nor has Administrative Agent represented that it will, see to the application of such proceeds by the person or persons to whom Administrative Agent disburses such proceeds, and any application or use of such proceeds for purposes other than those provided for in such agreement or agreements shall not defeat this agreement to subordinate in whole or in part; |
1.5 | Waiver, Relinquishment and Subordination. Lessee intentionally and unconditionally waives, relinquishes and subordinates all of Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to the Property to the lien of the Mortgage and understands that in reliance upon, and in consideration of, this waiver, relinquishment and subordination, specific loans and advances are being and will be made by Administrative Agent and, as part and parcel thereof, specific monetary and other obligations are being and will be entered into which would not be made or entered into but for said reliance upon this waiver, relinquishment and subordination. |
2. | ASSIGNMENT. Lessee acknowledges and consents to the assignment of the Lease by Lessor in favor of Lender. |
3. | ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS. Lessee covenants and agrees that, during all such times as Administrative Agent is the beneficiary under the Mortgage: |
3.1 | Modification, Termination and Cancellation. Lessee will not consent to any modification, amendment, termination or cancellation of the Lease (in whole or in part) without giving Administrative Agent prior written notice thereof and will not make any payment to Lessor in consideration of any modification, termination or cancellation of the Lease (in whole or in part) without giving Administrative Agent prior written notice thereof; |
3.2 | Notice of Default. Lessee will notify Administrative Agent in writing concurrently with any notice given to Lessor of any default by Lessor under the Lease, and Lessee agrees that Administrative Agent has the right (but not the obligation) to cure any breach or default specified in such notice within the time periods set forth below and Lessee will not declare a default of the Lease, as to Administrative Agent, if Administrative Agent cures such default within fifteen (15) days from and after the expiration of the time period provided in the Lease for the cure thereof by Lessor; provided, however, that if such default cannot with diligence be cured by Administrative Agent within such fifteen (15) |
EXHIBIT C - Page 2
day period, the commencement of action by Administrative Agent within such fifteen (15) day period to remedy the same shall be deemed sufficient so long as Administrative Agent pursues such cure with diligence; |
3.3 | No Advance Rents. Lessee will make no payments or prepayments of rent more than one (1) month in advance of the time when the same become due under the Lease; and |
3.4 | Assignment of Rents. Upon receipt by Lessee of written notice from Administrative Agent that Administrative Agent has elected to terminate the license granted to Lessor to collect rents, as provided in the Mortgage, and directing the payment of rents by Lessee to Administrative Agent, Lessee shall comply with such direction to pay and shall not be required to determine whether Lessor is in default under the Loan and/or the Mortgage. |
4. | ATTORNMENT. In the event of a foreclosure under the Mortgage, Lessee agrees for the benefit of Administrative Agent (including for this purpose any transferee of Administrative Agent or any transferee of Lessor’s title in and to the Property by Administrative Agent’s exercise of the remedy of sale by foreclosure under the Mortgage) as follows: |
4.1 | Payment of Rent. Lessee shall pay to Administrative Agent all rental payments required to be made by Lessee pursuant to the terms of the Lease for the duration of the term of the Lease; |
4.2 | Continuation of Performance. Lessee shall be bound to Administrative Agent in accordance with all of the provisions of the Lease for the balance of the term thereof, and Lessee hereby attorns to Administrative Agent as its landlord, such attornment to be effective and self operative without the execution of any further instrument immediately upon Lender succeeding to Lessor’s interest in the Lease and giving written notice thereof to Lessee; |
4.3 | No Offset. Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, nor subject to, any offsets or defenses which Lessee may have by reason of any act or omission of Lessor under the Lease, nor for the return of any sums which Lessee may have paid to Lessor under the Lease as and for security deposits, advance rentals or otherwise, except to the extent that such sums are actually delivered by Lessor to Administrative Agent; and |
4.4 | Subsequent Transfer. If Administrative Agent, by succeeding to the interest of Lessor under the Lease, should become obligated to perform the covenants of Lessor thereunder, then, upon any further transfer of Lessor’s interest by Administrative Agent, all of such obligations shall terminate as to Administrative Agent. |
5. | NON-DISTURBANCE. In the event of a foreclosure under the Mortgage, so long as there shall then exist no breach, default, or event of default on the part of Lessee under the Lease, Administrative Agent agrees for itself and its successors and assigns that the leasehold interest of Lessee under the Lease shall not be extinguished or terminated by reason of such foreclosure, but rather the Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Administrative Agent shall recognize and accept Lessee as tenant under the Lease subject to the terms and provisions of the Lease except as modified by this Agreement; provided, however, that Lessee and Administrative Agent agree that the following provisions of the Lease (if any) shall not be binding on Administrative Agent: any option to purchase with respect to the Property; any right of first refusal with respect to the Property; any provision regarding the use of insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds with respect to the Property which is inconsistent with the terms of the Mortgage. |
