Change in Facts or Circumstances; Disclosure.
All
financial
statements and rent rolls submitted by Borrower in connection with the Loan
are
accurate and correct in all material respects as of the date
hereof. All other written information, reports, certificates and
other documents submitted by Borrower to Lenders in connection with the Loan
are, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, accurate, and correct in all material
respects as of the date hereof. Except with respect to such
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other
Loan
Document which are qualified as being made to the best of Borrower’s knowledge
or to Borrower’s knowledge, all representations and warranties made by Borrower
in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, are accurate and correct in
all
material respects. There has been no material adverse change known to
Borrower in any condition, fact, circumstance or event that would make any
such
information inaccurate or otherwise misleading in any material respect or that
otherwise materially and adversely affects the Project or the business
operations or the financial condition of Borrower. Borrower has
disclosed to Agent all material facts known to Borrower and has not failed
to
disclose any material fact known to Borrower that is likely to cause any

Borrower
(a) has
not entered into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any Loan
Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor and
(b) has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations
under the Loan Documents. After giving effect to the Loan, the fair
saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the
making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without
limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent
liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and
will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s
probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities
on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured, Borrower’s assets do not
and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed
to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe
that it will, incur Indebtedness and liabilities (including contingent
liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such Indebtedness
as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be
received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of
obligations of Borrower).

Borrower
is not (a)
an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,”
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (b) a
“holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an
“affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” within the

subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to
restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.

Account.
(a) This
Agreement,
together with the other Loan Documents, creates a valid and continuing security
interest (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York)
in
the Accounts (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) in favor of Agent
to
the extent such Accounts are maintained with Depository Bank, which security
interest is prior to all other Liens, other than Permitted Exceptions, and
is
enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from
Borrower. Other than in connection with the Loan Documents and except
for Permitted Exceptions, Borrower has not sold or otherwise conveyed the
Lockbox Account;
(b) The
Accounts (as
defined in the Cash Management Agreement) constitute “deposit accounts” or
“securities accounts” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the
State of New York;
(c) Pursuant
and
subject to the terms hereof and the Cash Management Agreement, Depository Bank
has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by Agent, without further
consent by Borrower, directing disposition of the Lockbox Account and all sums
at any time held, deposited or invested therein, together with any interest
or
other earnings thereon, and all proceeds thereof (including proceeds of sales
and other dispositions), whether accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper,
deposit accounts, instruments, documents or securities; and
(d) The
Lockbox Account
is not in the name of any Person other than Borrower, as pledgor, or Agent,
as
pledgee. Borrower has not consented to Depository Bank complying with
instructions with respect to the Accounts from any Person other than
Agent.
3.38 Ground
Lease.
Borrower
hereby
represents and warrants to Lenders the following with respect to each Ground
Lease:
(a) Recording;
Modification. Each Ground Lease has been duly
recorded. Each Ground Lease permits the interest of Borrower to be
encumbered by a mortgage. There have not been amendments or
modifications to the terms of either Ground Lease since its respective
recordation, with the exception of written instruments which have been
recorded. Borrower shall not cancel, terminate, surrender or amend
either Ground Lease without the prior written consent of Agent, provided that
such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld for any amendment of either
Ground Lease that, in the opinion of Agent, (i) does not materially increase
the
burden of Borrower under such Ground Lease, (ii) does not materially adversely
affect the collateral for the Loan and (iii) does not adversely affect the
protections afforded to Agent under the applicable Ground Lease.
(b) No
Liens. Except for the Permitted Exceptions, Borrower’s interest
in each Ground Lease is not subject to any Liens or encumbrances superior to,
or
of equal priority with, the Mortgage other than the ground lessor’s related fee
interest.
(c) Ground
Lease
Assignable. Borrower’s interest in each Ground Lease is
assignable to Agent upon notice to, but without the consent of, the ground
lessor (or, if any such consent is required, it has been obtained prior to
the
Closing Date). Each Ground Lease is further assignable (in its
entirety) by Agent upon notice to, but without the consent of, the ground
lessor.
(d) Default. As
of the date hereof, each Ground Lease is in full force and effect and no default
has occurred under either Ground Lease and there is no existing condition which,
but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, could result in a default
under the terms of either Ground Lease.
(e) Notice. Each
Ground Lease requires, after notice of and a copy of the Mortgage are delivered
to the ground lessor, the ground lessor to give notice of any default by
Borrower to Agent. Each Ground Lease, or estoppel letters received by
Lenders from the ground lessor, further provides that notice of termination
given under either Ground Lease is not effective against Lenders unless a copy
of the notice has been delivered to Agent in the manner described in each Ground
Lease.
(f) Cure. Agent
is permitted the opportunity (including, in the case of a non-monetary default,
sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of Borrower under each Ground
Lease) to cure any default under such Ground Lease, which is curable after
the
receipt of notice of any of the default before the ground lessor thereunder
may
terminate either Ground Lease.
(g) Term. Each
Ground Lease has a term which extends not less than twenty-five (25) years
beyond the Maturity Date.
(h) New
Lease. Each Ground Lease requires the ground lessor to enter into
a new lease with Lenders upon termination of such Ground Lease by reason of
the
default by the Tenant thereunder.
(i) Insurance
Proceeds. Under the terms of each Ground Lease and the Mortgage,
taken together, any related insurance and condemnation proceeds will be applied
either to the repair or restoration of all or part of the Project, with Agent
having the right to hold and disburse the proceeds as the repair or restoration
progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan
together with any accrued interest thereon.
(j) Subleasing. Neither
Ground Lease imposes any restrictions on subleasing except subleasing the entire
leased premises.
3.39 Assignment
of Leases.
The
Assignment of
Leases creates a valid assignment of, or a valid security interest in, certain
rights under the Leases, subject only to a license granted to Borrower to
exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under
the Leases, including the right to operate the Project. No Person
other than Agent and Lenders has any interest in or assignment of the Leases
or
any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable
thereunder.

Holding Company.

INTEREST
PAYMENTS AND OTHER PAYMENTS
5.1 Interest
Rate.
(a) The
Loan will bear
interest at the Applicable Rate, unless the Default Rate is
applicable. The Base Rate shall be the “Applicable Rate”
except with respect to portions of the Loan as to which a LIBOR Rate
Option is
then in effect as to which the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be the Applicable
Rate. Borrower shall pay interest in arrears on each Payment Date in
the amount of all interest accrued and unpaid from and including the immediately
preceding Payment Date to and including the day immediately preceding the
Payment Date on which such payment is to be made. All payments
(whether of principal or of interest) shall be made to Agent not later than
12:00 noon New York time on the date due, and shall be made in lawful money
of
the United States of America by wire transfer in federal or other immediately
available funds to an account designated by Agent. All payments
(whether of principal or of interest) shall be deemed credited to Borrower’s
account on a Business Day only if received by 12:00 noon New York time on that
Business Day; otherwise, such payment shall be deemed received on the next
Business Day.
(b) Provided
that no
Event of Default exists, Borrower shall have the option to elect from time
to
time in the manner and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth to apply,
as the Applicable Rate for all or any portion of the Loan, an Adjusted LIBOR
Rate (the “LIBOR Rate Option”).
(c) The
only manner in
which Borrower may exercise the LIBOR Rate Option is by giving Agent irrevocable
notice (which may be (A) verbal notice provided that Borrower delivers to Agent
facsimile or electronic confirmation within twenty-four (24) hours or
(B) electronic mail notice) of such exercise not later than 11:00 a.m.
New York time on the third Business Day prior to the proposed commencement
of
the relevant LIBOR Rate Interest Period (“LIBOR Notice Time”), which
written notice shall specify: (i) the portion of the Loan with
respect to which Borrower is electing the LIBOR Rate Option, (ii) the Business
Day upon which the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period is to commence and
(iii) the duration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest
Period. Agent shall confirm the Adjusted LIBOR Rate to Borrower and
Lenders by facsimile transmission or email by the next Business
Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default
exists, the Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan with respect to which
Borrower has elected the LIBOR Rate Option shall automatically be continued
at
the one month Adjusted LIBOR Rate as of the Roll Over Date applicable thereto
(unless Borrower otherwise notifies Agent in writing by the LIBOR Notice
Time). The LIBOR Rate Option may be exercised by Borrower only with
respect to all or any portion of the Loan in accordance with the requirements
of
this Agreement, and then only if such portion of the Loan is equal to or in
excess of $1,000,000.
(d) If
Agent determines
(which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent
manifest error) (i) that Dollar deposits in an amount approximately equal to
the
portion of the Loan for which Borrower has exercised the LIBOR Rate Option
for
the designated LIBOR Rate Interest Period are not generally available at such
time in the London interbank market for deposits in Dollars, (ii) that the
rate
at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to Lenders of maintaining a LIBOR Rate on such portion of the Loan
or
of funding the same for such LIBOR Rate Interest Period due to circumstances
affecting the London interbank market generally, (iii) that reasonable means
do
not exist for ascertaining a LIBOR Rate, or (iv) that an Adjusted LIBOR Rate
would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law pay,
then, in any such event, Agent shall so notify Borrower and all portions of
the
Loan bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate that are so affected shall,
as
of the date of such notification with respect to an event described in clause
(ii) or (iv) above, or as of the expiration of the applicable LIBOR
Rate Interest Period with respect to an event described in clause (i) or
(iii) above, bear interest at the Base Rate until such time as the
situations described above are no longer in effect or can be avoided by Borrower
exercising a LIBOR Rate Option for a different LIBOR Rate Interest
Period. Once such situation is no longer in effect, Borrower may
again exercise the LIBOR Rate Option (and Agent shall endeavor to so promptly
notify Borrower).
(e) Interest
on amounts
bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be calculated for the actual
number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year and from and including
the
first date of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period to, but not including,
the date of repayment. Interest on all amounts bearing interest at
the Base Rate (or Default Rate) shall be calculated for the actual number of
days elapsed on the basis of a 365(6) day year.
(f) Borrower
shall pay
all Breakage Costs incurred from time to time by any Lender upon
demand.
(g) If
the introduction
of or any change in any Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation
thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or
interpretation thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to maintain the
Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate with respect to the Loan or any
portion thereof, or to fund the Loan or any portion thereof in Dollars in the
London interbank market, or to give effect to its obligations regarding the
LIBOR Rate Option as contemplated by the Loan Documents, then (1) Agent shall
notify Borrower that Lenders are no longer able to maintain the Applicable
Rate
at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, (2) the LIBOR Rate Option shall immediately
terminate, (3) the Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan for which the
Applicable Rate is then an Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall automatically be converted
to the Base Rate, and (4) Borrower shall pay to each Lender the amount of
Breakage Costs (if any) incurred in connection with such
conversion. Thereafter, Borrower shall not be entitled to exercise
the LIBOR Rate Option until such time as the situation described in this
subsection (g) is no longer in effect or can be avoided by Borrower
exercising a LIBOR Rate Option for a different term (in which event Borrower
shall, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and the Notes, be
permitted to exercise a LIBOR Rate Option for such different term).
(h) At
no time during
the term of the Loan shall there be, in the aggregate, more than five (5) LIBOR
Rate Interest Periods then in effect with regard to LIBOR Rate Options in effect
under the Notes.
5.2 Monthly
Principal Payments.
If
the Loan is not
repaid in full prior to the Second Maturity Date, commencing on the first
Payment Date occurring after the Second Maturity Date and on each Payment Date
thereafter up to the Final Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Agent on behalf
of the Lenders, in addition to the interest payment required in
Section 5.1 above, a payment of principal in the amount of the
Monthly Principal Payment.
5.3 Payment
on Maturity Date.
Borrower
shall pay
to Agent on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan,
all
accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder, under the
Notes, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
5.4 Loan
Prepayments.
(a) Voluntary
Prepayment. At any time on or after the Lockout Release Date (but
not prior thereto), Borrower shall have the right to make prepayments of the
Loan, without penalty or premium, in whole or in part, upon not less than three
(3) Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent. Any partial
prepayment of the Loan may not be in an amount that is less than
$1,000,000. No prepayment of all or part of the Loan shall be
permitted unless same is made together with the payment of all interest accrued
on such portion of the Loan through the date of prepayment and an amount equal
to all Breakage Costs and other disbursements incurred by Agent and any Lenders
as a result of the prepayment. Amounts prepaid by Borrower may not be
re-borrowed
(b) Prepayments
after Event of Default. If following an Event of Default, Agent
accelerates the Loan and Borrower thereafter tenders payment of all or any
part
of the Loan, or if all or any portion of the Loan is recovered by Agent after
such Event of Default (a) if for any reason the date of such payment is not
a
Payment Date, Borrower shall pay, and such payment shall include, interest
that
would have accrued on the Notes and be payable on the next Payment
Date, (b) such payment shall be deemed a voluntary
prepayment by Borrower and (c) Borrower shall pay all Breakage
Costs. The full amount of any such prepayment shall be applied by
Agent toward the payment of interest and/or principal of any of the Notes and/or
any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and
proportions as Agent determines in its sole discretion (subject to any express
provisions of the Loan Documents).
5.5 Default
Interest; Late Charges.
The
outstanding
principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate at any
time at which an Event of Default exists and after the Maturity Date, or such
earlier date upon which the Loan becomes due and payable whether by lapse of
time or by acceleration. Additionally, Borrower shall upon demand pay
a late charge in the amount of four percent (4%) of any installment of interest
and/or principal (other than the entire outstanding principal that is due and
payable on the Maturity Date or on acceleration) which is not paid within five
(5) days of the due date of such installment (only one late charge may be
assessed for each installment of past due interest). Any late charge
shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent
permitted by applicable Law.

COSTS
OF
MAINTAINING LOAN
6.1 Increased
Costs and Capital Adequacy.
(a) Borrower
recognizes
that the cost to each Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof
may
fluctuate and, Borrower agrees to pay each Lender additional amounts to
compensate such Lender for any increase in their actual costs incurred in
maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof outstanding or for the reduction
of
any amounts received or receivable from Borrower as a result of:
(i) any
change after
the date hereof in any applicable Law, regulation or treaty, (or in the
interpretation or administration thereof), or by any domestic or foreign court,
(A) changing the basis of taxation of payments under this Agreement to such
Lender (other than taxes imposed on all or any portion of the overall net income
or receipts of such Lender), or (B) imposing, modifying or applying any reserve,
special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or
for
the account of, credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds for loans
by such Lender (which includes the Loan or any applicable portion thereof),
or
(C) imposing on such Lender, or the London interbank market generally, any
other
condition affecting the Loan; provided that the result of the foregoing is
to
increase the cost to such Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof
or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable from Borrower by
such
Lender under the Loan Documents (whether principal, interest or otherwise);
or
(ii) the
maintenance by
such Lender of reserves in accordance with reserve requirements promulgated
by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States with
respect to “Eurocurrency Liabilities” of a similar term to that of the
applicable portion of the Loan (without duplication for reserves already
accounted for in the calculation of a LIBOR Rate pursuant to the terms
hereof).
(b) If
the application
of any Law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted or arising out of the July,
1988 (or any subsequent) report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations
and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital
Measurement and Capital Standards”, or the adoption after the date hereof of any
other Law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any
change after the date hereof in any of the foregoing, or in the interpretation
or administration thereof by any domestic or foreign Governmental Authority,
central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by a Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender,
with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having
the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency,
has
the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital to a level
below that which such Lender would have achieved but for such application,
adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such
Lender with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time Borrower
shall
pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for
such reduction with respect to any portion of the Loan outstanding; provided,
however, that to the extent that any such capital adequacy requirement is
already in effect on the date hereof, or to the extent any such capital adequacy
requirement has already been specifically promulgated as of the date hereof
with
a future scheduled effective date, the parties intend that the interest rate
payable as set forth herein will compensate such Lender for such requirement
and
Borrower shall have no obligation to compensate such Lender for any such already
existing requirement.
(c) Any
amount payable
by Borrower under subsection (a) or subsection (b) of this
Section 6.1 shall be paid within five (5) days of receipt by Borrower
of
a certificate signed by an authorized officer of a Lender setting forth the
amount due and the basis for the determination of such amount, which statement
shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest
error. Failure on the part of Agent or any Lender to demand payment
from Borrower for any such amount attributable to any particular period shall
not constitute a waiver of a Lender’s right to demand payment of such amount for
any subsequent or prior period. Such Lender shall use reasonable
efforts to deliver to Borrower prompt notice of any event described in
subsection (a) or (b) above, of the amount of the reserve and
capital adequacy payments resulting therefrom and the reasons therefor and
of
the basis of calculation of such amount; provided, however, that
any failure by a Lender to so notify Borrower shall not affect Borrower’s
obligation to pay the reserve or capital adequacy payment resulting
therefrom.
(d) If
any Lender (an
“Affected Lender”) makes demand upon Borrower for (or if Borrower is
otherwise required to pay) additional costs pursuant to this Section 6.1,
Borrower may, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such demand, give notice
(a
“Replacement Notice”) to Agent (which will promptly forward a copy of
such notice to each Lender) of Borrower’s intention (x) to assign in full the
Affected Lender’s Note and (y) to replace the Affected Lender with another
financial institution (the “Replacement Lender”) designated in such
Replacement Notice which agrees to purchase the Affected Lender’s
Note.
In
the event
Borrower opts to give the notice provided for above, and if (i) Agent shall,
within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the Replacement Notice, notify
Borrower and each Lender in writing that the Replacement Lender is reasonably
satisfactory to Agent and (ii) the Affected Lender shall not, prior to the
end
of such thirty (30) day period, agree to waive the payment of the additional
costs in question, then the Affected Lender shall, so long as no Event of
Default shall exist, assign its Note and all of its rights and obligations
under
this Agreement to the Replacement Lender, and the Replacement Lender shall
assume all of the Affected Lender’s rights and obligations, pursuant to an
agreement, substantially in the form of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement,
executed by the Affected Lender and the Replacement Lender. In
connection with such assignment and assumption, the Replacement Lender shall
pay
to the Affected Lender an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount
under
the Affected Lender’s Note plus all interest accrued thereon, plus all other
amounts, if any (other than the additional costs in question), then due and
payable to the Affected Lender; provided, however, that prior to
or simultaneously with any such assignment and assumption, Borrower shall have
paid to such Affected Lender all amounts properly demanded and unreimbursed
under this Section 6.1. Upon the effective date of such
assignment and assumption, the Affected Lender shall be released from its
obligations hereunder, and no further consent or action by any party shall
be
required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this
Section, a substitute Note shall be issued to the Replacement Lender by
Borrower, in exchange for the return of the Affected Lender’s Note.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.1, no Lender shall
be entitled to any compensation pursuant to this Section 6.1 relating to
any period more than ninety (90) days prior to the date notice thereof is given
to Borrower by Agent or such Lender.
6.2 Borrower
Withholding.
If
by reason of a
change in any applicable Laws occurring after the date hereof, Borrower is
required by Law to make any deduction or withholding in respect of any taxes
(other than taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of any Lender or
any
franchise tax imposed on any Lender), duties or other charges from any payment
due under the Notes, the sum due from Borrower in respect of such payment shall
be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such
deduction or withholding, such Lender receives and retains a net sum equal
to
the sum which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been
required to be made. If any Lender fails to deliver a Form W-8 BEN or
Form W-8 ECI as required under Section 21.5(c) hereof and such failure is
not due to a change in Law, regulation or governmental directive, Lenders and
Borrower agree that Lenders and each Lender individually shall not be in default
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and that the sole result
of
such failure shall be that the preceding sentence shall not apply to any payment
hereunder with respect to which Borrower is required by Law to make any
deduction or withholding in respect of any taxes, duties or charges (i.e.,
until
Borrower receives such Form W-8 BEN or Form W-8 ECI, Borrower shall
not be required to increase the amount of such payment as provided above in
order to compensate such Lender or Lenders for such deduction or
withholding). Borrower shall not be relieved of its obligation to
increase the amount of such payment as provided above in order to compensate
such Lender or Lenders for such deduction or withholding if the failure by
such
Lender or Lenders to deliver a Form W-8 BEN or Form W-8 ECI is due to a change
in Law, regulation or governmental directive. Borrower shall promptly
deliver to Agent receipts, certificates or other proof evidencing the amounts
(if any) paid or payable in respect of any such deduction or
withholding.

CASH
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
9.1 Deposits
into Lockbox Account.
(a) Borrower
shall
establish and maintain a Lockbox Account pursuant to the Cash Management
Agreement. Borrower hereby grants to Agent on behalf of itself and
Lenders a first priority security interest in the Lockbox Account and all
deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof and will take
all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Agent a perfected first priority
security interest in the Lockbox Account, including, without limitation,
executing and filing UCC-1 Financing Statements and continuations
thereof. All costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the
Lockbox Account shall be paid by Borrower. Borrower will not in any
way alter or modify the Cash Management Agreement without Agent’s consent and
will notify Agent of the Lockbox Account number.
(b) Borrower
shall, or
shall cause Manager to, deliver written instructions to all Tenants under Leases
(excluding licensees under License Agreements) to deliver all Rents payable
thereunder directly to the Lockbox Account to the extent such Tenants are not
as
of the date hereof so instructed. Except as otherwise provided in the
Cash Management Agreement, in the event that either Borrower or Manager receives
any amounts constituting Rents or other revenue of any kind from the Project,
Borrower shall, or shall cause Manager to, deposit said amounts into the Lockbox
Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof.
(c) Any
and all amounts
on deposit in the Lockbox Account shall be automatically transferred each
Business Day to an account of Borrower; provided, however, that upon the
occurrence of a Lockbox Event and until the occurrence of the applicable Lockbox
Termination Event, if any, Agent shall instruct Depository Bank to suspend
such
transfer to Borrower’s account and all funds in the Lockbox Account shall be
automatically transferred each Business Day by Depository Bank to the Sweep
Account and disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Cash
Management Agreement. Except as set forth in the Cash Management
Agreement, Borrower shall have no rights to make withdrawals therefrom or
receive the proceeds thereof.
9.2 Payments
Received in the Lockbox Account.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Borrower’s obligations with respect to the payment of the amounts due for the
Reserve Funds established pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
shall be deemed satisfied after the occurrence of a Lockbox Event and until
the
occurrence of the applicable Lockbox Termination Event, if any, to the extent
sufficient amounts are deposited in the account established pursuant to the
Cash
Management Agreement to satisfy such obligations on the dates each such payment
is required. Upon the occurrence of a Lockbox Termination Event,
Agent shall notify Depository Bank in writing to release all amounts in the
Reserve Funds to Borrower (such notice shall be sent by Agent to Depository
Bank
within ten (10) Business Days after Agent receives a written request for release
from Borrower and provided that Borrower has delivered to Agent (simultaneous
with or prior to the delivery of such written request) for Agent’s review and
approval the Debt Service Coverage Certificate as required by Section
14.11 of this Agreement).
9.3 No
Deductions, etc.
All
payments made
by Borrower hereunder or under the Notes or the other Loan Documents shall
be
made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoff, defense or
counterclaims. The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Lockbox
Account shall not absolve Borrower of the obligation to make any payments,
as
and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such
obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event
or circumstance whatsoever.

RESERVES
10.1 Intentionally
Omitted.
10.2 Tax
and
Insurance Escrow Fund.
Upon
the occurrence
and during the continuance of a Lockbox Event and until the occurrence of the
applicable Lockbox Termination Event, if any, Borrower shall pay to Agent (by
depositing the required funds into the Lockbox Account) on each Payment Date
(a)
a constant monthly amount that Agent estimates, based on the most recent tax
xxxx, will be required in order to accumulate with Agent sufficient funds to
pay
all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to the imposition of any
interest, charges or expenses for the non-payment thereof, and (b) a constant
monthly amount that Agent estimates, based on the most recent xxxx, will be
required in order to accumulate with Agent sufficient funds to pay all Insurance
Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies
(said
amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow
Fund”) and the account in which such funds are held shall hereinafter be
referred to as Borrower’s “Tax and Insurance
Account.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Project insurance
is part of a blanket policy reasonably acceptable to Agent, then so long as
no
Event of Default exists, no deposits into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund
shall be required on account of insurance premiums. The Tax and
Insurance Escrow Fund, payable pursuant to this Agreement and the Notes, shall
be paid by Borrower to Agent on each Payment Date. Agent shall apply
the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums
required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 14.1 and
Section 14.2 hereof and under the Mortgage, subject to Borrower’s
right to contest Taxes in accordance with
Section 14.2. In making any payment relating to the Tax
and Insurance Escrow Fund, Agent may do so according to any xxxx, statement
or
estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes)
or
insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into
the
accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax,
assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof, subject to
Borrower’s right to contest in accordance with
Section 14.2. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance
Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums
pursuant to Section 14.1 or Section 14.2, as applicable,
such excess shall be credited against future payments to be made to the Tax
and
Insurance Escrow Fund. If at any time Agent reasonably determines
that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to
pay
Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Agent
shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its
monthly payments to Agent by the amount that Agent reasonably estimates is
sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to
delinquency of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the
Policies, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, it is the intention of the parties that Agent shall
not pay Taxes for any tax parcel with respect to which an Tenant is responsible
for direct payment and makes such payment. Accordingly, prior to the
payment of any Taxes, Agent shall provide Borrower with a list of the parcels
for which Agent proposes to pay Taxes, and (y) if Borrower does not notify
Agent
in writing within five (5) Business Days thereafter that an Tenant is
responsible for direct payment of Taxes for a parcel or parcels listed by Agent,
then Agent shall pay such Taxes from amounts on deposit in the Tax and Insurance
Account, if any and (z) if Borrower notifies Agent in writing within five (5)
Business Days thereafter that an Tenant is responsible for direct payment of
Taxes for one or more parcels listed by Agent, then Agent shall not pay the
Taxes on such parcel or parcels from amounts on deposit in the Tax and Insurance
Account; provided, however, nothing contained in this Section 10.2 shall
be construed to relieve Borrower of its obligation to pay, or cause to be paid
all Taxes as set forth in Section 14.2 hereof.
10.3 Leasing
Reserve.
Upon
the occurrence
and during the continuance of a Lockbox Event and until the occurrence of the
applicable Lockbox Termination Event, if any, Borrower shall pay to Agent (by
depositing the required funds into the Lockbox Account) on each subsequent
Payment Date the sum of $51,000 (the “Monthly Leasing Deposit”), until
such time as the balance in the Leasing Reserve Account equals $1,224,000 (the
“Minimum Leasing Reserve Balance”). Thereafter, if at any time
there is a draw causing the Leasing Reserve Account to contain less than the
Minimum Leasing Reserve Balance (whether on account of expenditures approved
by
Agent or otherwise), Borrower shall continue to pay Agent for deposit into
the
Leasing Reserve Account, the Monthly Leasing Deposit until the balance in the
Leasing Reserve Account again equals the Minimum Leasing Reserve
Balance. Whenever the balance in the Leasing Reserve Account again
equals the Minimum Leasing Reserve Balance, Borrower may suspend making monthly
payments into the Leasing Reserve Account. Amounts so deposited shall
hereinafter be referred to as the “Leasing Reserve Fund” and the account
to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the
“Leasing Reserve Account.” Agent shall make disbursements from
the Leasing Reserve Fund for tenant improvement and leasing commission
obligations incurred by Borrower. Agent shall make disbursements as
requested by Borrower on a monthly basis upon delivery by Borrower of an
Officer’s Certificate certifying the amount of expenses incurred for which
reimbursement is requested. In no event shall Agent be obligated to
disburse funds from the Leasing Reserve Account if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing. Ground Rent Funds.
10.4 Ground
Rent Funds.
(a) Upon
the occurrence
and during the continuance of a Lockbox Event and until the occurrence of the
applicable Lockbox Termination Event, if any, Borrower shall deposit with Agent,
on each Payment Date, an amount (the “Monthly Ground Rent Deposit”) equal to the
Ground Rent that will be payable under the Ground Lease for the succeeding
month
(such amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Ground Rent
Funds”).
(b) Agent
shall apply
the Ground Rent Funds to payments of Ground Rent. In making any
payment relating to Ground Rent, Agent may do so according to any xxxx or
statement given by the Ground Lessor without inquiry into the accuracy of such
xxxx or statement or into the validity of any rent, additional rent or other
charge thereof. If the amount of the Ground Rent Funds shall exceed
the amounts due for Ground Rent, Agent shall, in its sole discretion, either
(a)
return any excess to Borrower or (b) credit such excess against the next
payments to be made to the Ground Rent Funds.
10.5 Pledge
and Security Interest; Additional Provisions.
(a) Borrower
hereby
pledges to Agent, and grants a security interest in, any and all monies now
or
hereafter deposited in the Reserve Funds as additional security for the payment
of the Loan. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written
consent of Agent, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in
the
Reserve Funds or permit any lien or encumbrance to be attached thereto, or
any
levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements (except those naming
Agent as the secured party) to be filed with respect thereto. All
cash amounts deposited into the Reserve Funds shall be held in Agent’s name in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Cash Management Agreement and
shall not be commingled with other funds. All investment earnings on
the Reserve Funds shall be (a) added to and become part of the applicable
Reserve Fund, (b) taxed as income of Borrower, (c) for the benefit of Borrower,
subject to Agent’s rights pursuant to this Agreement, and (d) provided that no
Default or Event of Default has occurred, remitted to Borrower in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. Agent shall not be responsible for
any losses resulting from the investment of the cash deposits in the Reserve
Funds or for obtaining any specific level or percentage of earnings on such
investment. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent may
apply any amounts then present in the Reserve Funds to the payment of amounts
due and payable under the Loan (including pursuant to an acceleration of the
Loan) in any order in its sole discretion. Until expended or applied
as above provided, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for
the Loan. Any amounts on deposit in the Reserve Funds (other than the
Tax and Insurance Fund) in excess of Borrower’s obligations or in excess of
Borrower’s requested disbursement shall remain on deposit in the applicable
Reserve Fund.
(b) Any
amount
remaining in the Reserve Funds after the Loan has been paid in full shall be
promptly returned to Borrower. In addition, Borrower’s obligations to
make payments to the Reserve Funds shall be qualified as provided in Section
9.2 hereof.
(c) Borrower
shall
indemnify Agent and hold Agent harmless from and against any and all actions,
suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs
and
expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses)
arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance
of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established, except for
the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent. Borrower shall
assign to Agent all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons
supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or
secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Agent may
not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred
and
remains uncured.

of the Loan comply with all applicable Laws in all material
respects. There shall never be committed by Borrower, and Borrower

Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower
hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, knowingly permit or suffer to exist
any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower
shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade
names
and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct
of
its business and shall keep the Project in good working order and repair, and
from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs,

Borrower
shall pay
all Taxes now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Project
or
any part thereof prior to the imposition of any interest, charges or expenses
for the non-payment thereof and shall pay all Other Charges on or before the
date they are due. Borrower will deliver to Agent receipts for
payment or other evidence satisfactory to Agent that the Taxes have been so
paid
or are not then delinquent within ten (10) days after payment thereof (provided,

Section 10.2 above). Upon request, Borrower shall deliver to
Agent evidence satisfactory to Agent that the Other Charges have been so paid
and are not delinquent. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly
cause to be paid, discharged or removed (or shall contest as otherwise provided
in the Mortgage) any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien
or
charge against the Project other than a Permitted Exception, and shall promptly
pay for all utility services provided to the Project. After prior
written notice to Agent, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by
appropriate proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and
with
due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of
any
Taxes, provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured;
(b) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any mortgage or
deed
of trust superior in lien to the Mortgage; (c) such proceeding shall not
constitute a default under the provisions of any other instrument to which
Borrower is subject and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with
all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (d) during the period of such
contest, neither the Project nor any part thereof or interest therein will
be in
danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (e) Borrower

determination, if not previously and completely satisfied by Borrower, Agent
may
pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof held by Agent to the claimant
entitled thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Section 14.2, Borrower shall not be required to provide
prior written notice to Agent of any contest of Taxes provided that Borrower
pays the full amount of such Tax which is due to the proper Governmental
Authority prior to its initiation of any contest and provided further that
Borrower satisfies all of the conditions contained above other than in subclause
(g) and has complied with all requirements of the appropriate Governmental
Authority with respect to the payment of such Taxes and the posting of security
thereof, if any.

and their respective officers, directors, employees and consultants (each,
an
“Indemnified Party”) and defend and hold each Indemnified Party harmless
from and against all claims, injury, damage, loss and liability, cost and
expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) of any and
every kind to any persons or property by reason of (i) the operation or
maintenance of the Project; (ii) any breach of representation or warranty,
default or Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents;

Project; (iv) any other action or inaction by, or matter which is the
responsibility of, Borrower; or (v) any construction of the parties or their

negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing indemnification shall
survive repayment or assignment of the Loan.

permit agents, representatives and employees of Agent or any Lender to inspect
the Project or any part thereof at reasonable hours upon reasonable advance
notice to Borrower.

shall
promptly advise Agent of any material adverse change in Borrower’s condition,
financial or otherwise, which would prevent Borrower from performing its
obligations under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan
Documents.

in Legal Proceedings.
Borrower
shall
cooperate fully with Agent with respect to any proceedings before any court,
board or other Governmental Authority which may in any way affect the rights
of
Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and, in connection

which may have a material adverse effect on Borrower or the Project or which
may
prevent Borrower from performing its obligations under this Agreement, the
Note
or the other Loan Documents.

a Lender’s
furnishing to Borrower an affidavit to such effect (which affidavit shall
include an indemnification by such Lender of Borrower with respect to any claim

substitution therefor, a new note containing the same terms and conditions
as

interest.

shall
cooperate with Agent in obtaining for Agent the benefits of any Condemnation

independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Agent, and
to
the extent such opinion is qualified, a detailed explanation as to such

to
Agent upon request Tenant estoppel certificates from each commercial Tenant
leasing space at the Project in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to
Agent; provided that, unless an Event of Default exists, Borrower shall not
be
required to deliver such certificates more frequently than one (1) time in

14.17 Performance
by Borrower.
Borrower
shall in a
timely manner observe, perform and fulfill each and every covenant, term and
provision of each Loan Document executed and delivered by, or applicable to,
Borrower, and shall not enter into or otherwise suffer or permit any amendment,
waiver, supplement, termination or other modification of any Loan Document
executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower without the prior written
consent of Agent.
14.18 Interest
Rate Agreements.
(a) Borrower
shall, not
later than the Closing Date institute, and shall maintain in full force and
effect until the Loan is repaid, an interest rate hedging program through the
purchase of an Interest Rate Protection Product. The Interest Rate Protection
Product, and the financial institution providing the Interest Rate Protection
Product, shall be subject to Agent’s prior written approval, such approval not
to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Interest
Rate Protection Product must, at a minimum, protect against the excess of the
30-day LIBOR Rate (or such other LIBOR Rate as is approved by Agent in its
reasonable discretion) over 7.5% per annum. Borrower shall afford
Agent and Lenders an opportunity to participate in the bidding for all Interest
Rate Protection Products.
(b) Any
indebtedness
incurred pursuant to an Interest Rate Agreement entered into by Borrower and
Agent or a Lender shall constitute indebtedness evidenced by the Notes and
secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the same extent and
effect as if the terms and provisions of such Interest Rate Agreement were
set
forth herein, whether or not the aggregate of such indebtedness, together with

of
the Notes.
(c) Borrower
hereby
collaterally assigns to Agent for the benefit of Lenders any and all Interest
Rate Protection Products purchased from time to time by Borrower in connection

with any additional documentation requested by Agent in order to confirm or
perfect such security interest during the term of the Loan. If
Borrower obtains an Interest Rate Protection Product from a party other than
Agent or a Lender, such other party shall be reasonably acceptable to Agent
(which party shall have a long-term unsecured debt rating of not less than
“A-”
by Standard & Poor’s Inc.) and Borrower shall deliver to Agent such third
party’s consent to such collateral assignment. No Interest Rate
Protection Product purchased from a party other than Agent or a Lender may
be
secured by an interest in Borrower or the Project.
14.19 No
Joint
Assessment.
Borrower
shall not
suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of the Project (a) with any
other real property constituting a tax lot separate from the Project, and (b)
which constitutes real property with any portion of the Project which may be
deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby the
lien
of any taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be
assessed or levied or charged to such real property portion of the
Project.
14.20 Leasing
Matters.
(a) Borrower
shall
obtain prior written consent of Agent for (1) all Leases hereinafter executed
and (2) all amendments, modifications, terminations or surrenders of existing
Leases, which in either event:
(i) are
not the product
of an arm’s-length transaction; or
(ii) are
not undertaken
in a manner consistent with TRG’s standard leasing practices; or
(iii) which
result in a
material adverse effect on the use, operation or value (including the Net
Operating Income) of the Project, taken as a whole, or the ability of Borrower
to pay its obligations in respect of the Loan.
Borrower
agrees
that Agent may (but need not) condition its consent for a termination,
cancellation or surrender of any Lease described in (i), (ii) or (iii) above
(a
“Restricted Termination”) upon, among other things, Borrower delivering
to and depositing with Agent any amount, consideration or other sum received
by
or payable to Borrower or on Borrower’s behalf in connection with any Restricted
Termination including, but not limited to, any termination, cancellation or
“buyout” payment and the proceeds of any claim which Borrower may have against
any Person in connection with such action. In addition, whether or
not Agent’s consent is so required, Agent may require Borrower to deposit with
Agent any amount, consideration or other sum received by or payable to Borrower
or on Borrower’s behalf in connection with any termination,
cancellation or “buyout” payment with respect to, and the proceeds of any claim
which Borrower may have against any Person in connection with, any Major
Lease. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, such amount shall be applied first, to the payment of tenant
improvements and leasing commissions incurred in replacing such Tenant as
determined by Agent in its sole discretion and then, to the extent required
for
shortfalls as determined by Agent in its sole discretion, to the payment of
required Reserve Funds.
(b) Borrower
agrees
that after the occurrence of a Lockbox Event and until the occurrence of the
applicable Lockbox Termination Event, Agent’s prior written consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for
(i)
all Leases executed during such period demising 25,000 or more rentable square
feet at the Project and (ii) all material amendments, modifications,
terminations or surrenders executed during such period affecting 25,000 or
more
rentable square feet at the Project.
(c) Upon
request by
Borrower and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, Agent shall grant
nondisturbance, on a form reasonably acceptable to Agent (which form shall,
among other things, require the applicable Tenant to attorn to Agent or Agent’s
nominee or other third party purchaser of the Project following a foreclosure
of
the Mortgage or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure) to those Tenants
under Leases which require such nondisturbance. Any such
nondisturbance granted by Agent shall not be deemed effective until Agent
receives a copy of the executed Lease. Borrower (A) shall observe and
perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a
commercially reasonable manner; (B) shall not collect any of the rents more
than
one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (C) shall not execute
any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as
contemplated by the Loan Documents); and (D) shall execute and deliver at the
request of Agent all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments
in
connection with the Leases as Agent shall from time to time reasonably
require.
(d) With
respect to
those Leases of 50,000 square feet or less which require Agent’s consent
pursuant to Section 14.20(b) of this Agreement, Borrower shall provide
Agent, fifteen (15) days for the approval or rejection of any proposed Lease,
amendment, modification or termination of a Lease that requires Agent’s consent
pursuant to this Section 14.20. In the event that Agent
fails to respond within said fifteen (15) day period, such failure shall be
deemed to be the consent and approval of the Lease, amendment, modification
or
termination, as applicable, by Agent if (A) Borrower has delivered to Agent,
the
Lease, amendment, modification or termination, as applicable, with the notation
“IMMEDIATE RESPONSE REQUIRED; FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS APPROVAL REQUEST WITHIN
FIFTEEN (15) DAYS FROM RECEIPT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S
APPROVAL” prominently displayed in bold, all caps and fourteen (14) point or
larger font in the transmittal letter requesting approval and (B) Agent does
not
approve or reject the proposed Lease, amendment, modification or termination,
as
applicable, within fifteen (15) days from the date Agent receives the request
as
evidenced by a certified mail return receipt or confirmation by a reputable
national overnight delivery service (e.g., federal express) that the same has
been delivered.
(e) With
respect to
those Leases of greater than 50,000 square feet which require Agent’s consent
pursuant to Section 14.20(b) of this Agreement, Borrower shall provide
Agent, thirty (30) days for the approval or rejection of any proposed Lease,
amendment, modification or termination of a Lease that requires Agent’s consent
pursuant to this Section 14.20. In the event that Agent fails
to respond within said thirty (30) day period, such failure shall be deemed
to
be the consent and approval of the Lease, amendment, modification or
termination, as applicable, by Agent if (A) Borrower has delivered to Agent,
the
Lease, amendment, modification or termination, as applicable, with the notation
“IMMEDIATE RESPONSE REQUIRED, FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS APPROVAL REQUEST WITHIN
THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM RECEIPT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE LENDERS’ APPROVAL”
prominently displayed in bold, all caps and fourteen (14) point or larger font
in the transmittal letter requesting approval and (B) Agent, does not approve
or
reject the proposed Lease, amendment, modification or termination, as
applicable, within thirty (30) days from the date Agent receives the request
as
evidenced by a certified mail return receipt or confirmation by a reputable
national overnight delivery service (e.g., federal express) that the
same has been delivered.
14.21 Alterations.
Borrower
shall
obtain Agent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) with respect to any alterations that (a) may have a
material adverse effect on Borrower’s financial condition or the use, operation
or value (including the Net Operating Income) of the Project, (b) materially
adversely affect the structural integrity of the Improvements or any utility
or
HVAC system contained in any Improvements, or (c) the total unpaid amounts
due
and payable with respect thereto by Borrower, in the aggregate, (other than
such
amounts to be paid or reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases) at any time
exceeds Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) (the “Threshold
Amount”). Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower may construct
one or more retail stores and/or restaurants on Parcel E (as identified on
Exhibit A hereto) so long as requirement (c) of the previous
sentence remains satisfied. If the total amounts of any alteration
shall, exceed the Threshold Amount, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Agent
and
maintain as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security
for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following:
(i) cash, (ii) U.S. treasury obligations, (iii) other securities
having a rating, acceptable to Agent, or (iv) a completion bond or Letter
of Credit, in either case, issued by a financial institution acceptable to
Agent. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the total unpaid
amounts with respect to such alteration (other than such amounts to be paid
or
reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases) and, if Borrower has not timely paid
for
the costs and expenses of the alteration, applied from time to time at the
option of Agent to pay for such alteration or to terminate the alteration and
restore the Project to the extent necessary to prevent any material adverse
effect on the use, operation or value (including the Net Operating Income)
of
the Project.

issued pursuant thereto including, without limitation, the Americans with
Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities
(collectively, “Access Laws”).
14.24 No
Further Encumbrances.
Borrower
shall do
or cause to be done all things necessary to keep and protect the Project and
all
portions thereof unencumbered from any Liens, easements or agreements granting

Permitted Exceptions, (b) Liens, easements or agreements granting rights in

management agreement pursuant to Section 15.1
hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or

Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents have been paid in full.
(b) Borrower

all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by
it
under the Management Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve and
to
keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly notify Agent
of
any material default under the Management Agreement of which it is aware; and

shall not be applicable to any permits or licenses required to be obtained
by
Tenants at the Project for the operation of any Tenant’s particular
business).
14.27 Collateral
Letters of Credit.
All
Letters of
Credit shall be clean, unconditional, irrevocable letters of credit issued
to
Agent by an issuer reasonably acceptable to Agent having an initial term of
not
less than one (1) year. In addition to any other rights granted Agent
or Lenders under this Agreement, any Letter of Credit may be drawn upon by
Agent
at its election or upon the request of the Required Lenders (i) at any time
within thirty (30) days before the expiration date of the applicable Letter
of

obtain an extension before drawing upon such Letter of
Credit. Borrower may replace any Letter of Credit with a substitute
Letter of Credit reasonably satisfactory to Agent in the same form and substance
(except that the expiration date shall be at least one year from the date of
replacement) and from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to Agent. Two
or more Letters of Credit required to be provided under this Agreement may
be
combined, but the provisions of this Agreement governing said Letters of Credit
shall be applied as if separate Letters of Credit had been
delivered.
14.28 Appraisals.
Agent
shall have
the right to obtain a new or updated Appraisal of the Project from time to
time. Borrower shall cooperate with Agent in this
regard. If the Appraisal is obtained to comply with this Agreement or
any applicable law or regulatory requirement, or bank policy promulgated to
comply therewith, or if an Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay for
any

to
determine whether a DSCR Event exists as of any such calendar
quarter.

15
NEGATIVE
COVENANTS

the date
hereof until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower
under the Loan Documents Borrower covenants and agrees with Agent that it will
not do, directly or indirectly, any of the following:
15.1 Management
Agreement.
Borrower
shall not
(a) without the prior consent of Agent amend or modify any of the terms of
the
Management Agreement if such amendment or modification would (i) cause the
Management Agreement to contain such terms or provisions which are not
commercially reasonable, or (ii) cause any Default under any of the Loan
Documents, (b) terminate the existing Management Agreement or otherwise replace
the Manager (except with another Affiliate), unless such termination or
replacement is permitted under the Management Agreement and in connection

replacement management agreement have been approved by Agent (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and provided, however, Agent’s
approval shall not be required for a new management agreement between the
Manager and Borrower so long as such agreement is on commercially reasonable
terms), and (iv) such new manager, if any, enters into an Assignment of
Management Agreement substantially in the form of the Assignment of Management
Agreement delivered by Manager to Agent on the date
thereof. Notwithstanding that Agent’s consent may not be required to
an amendment or modification or replacement of the Management Agreement as
set
forth above, Borrower shall (x) deliver to Agent any amendment or modification
of any of the material terms of the Management Agreement and (y) if the
amendment or modification affects the amount of the Management Fee, certify
that
the Management Fee payable under the Management Agreement as modified is (1)

(a) Permitted
Exceptions;
(b) Liens
created by or

the
foregoing, Borrower shall have the right to contest any Lien, provided, that
with respect to a mechanic’s or materialmen’s Lien, Borrower posts a statutory
xxxx xxxx sufficient to remove such mechanic’s or materialmen’s Lien as an
encumbrance against title to the Project within thirty (30) days after a
complaint is filed to foreclose such Lien.

(a) engage in any dissolution, liquidation or consolidation or merger with
or
into any other business entity, (b) engage in any business activity not related

objectives, purposes or operations, or undertake or participate in activities
other than the continuance of its present business.
15.5 REA.
Borrower
shall
timely perform its obligations under the REA and shall not permit any default
(beyond applicable notice and cure periods) to exist on the part of Borrower
thereunder. Borrower agrees that without the prior consent of Agent,

have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value (including the
Net
Operating Income) of the Project, taken as a whole, or the ability of Borrower
to pay its obligations in respect of the Loan. Agent shall execute
any modifications to the REA for which Agent’s consent is obtained or Agent’s

all
risk insurance on the Improvements and the personal property, including
contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and
Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements, in each case (A) in an amount

of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of
excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver
of
depreciation; (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the
Improvements and personal property waiving all co-insurance provisions; (C)
providing for no deductible in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($250,000) or, with respect to windstorm insurance only, five percent (5%)
of
the Full Replacement Cost (the “Required Deductible”), for all such
insurance coverage or such higher deductible if Borrower provides Agent a Letter
of Credit in an amount equal to the difference between the actual deductible
and
the Required Deductible, which Letter of Credit may be drawn upon by Agent
upon
the occurrence of a casualty to pay such amounts that would have been paid
by
the issuer of the Policies if the Required Deductible had been maintained;
and
(D) containing an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement if
any of the Improvements or the use of the Project shall at any time constitute
legal non-conforming structures or uses in amounts as required by
Agent. In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (x) if any portion of
the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a
federally designated “special flood hazard area”, flood hazard insurance in an
amount equal to the maximum amount of such insurance available under the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973
or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended
and
such excess limits as Agent shall require; and (y) earthquake insurance in
amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Agent in the event the Project

subsection (i);
(ii) commercial
general
liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death

(A) to contain minimum limits per occurrence of One Million Dollars

policy year and shall contain a deductible/self-insured retention no greater
than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000); (B) to continue at not
less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Agent in writing
by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate;
and
(C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and
operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis;
(3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability for all
legal contracts; and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities

above on an actual loss sustained basis for the period of restoration;
(C) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides
that after the physical loss to the Improvements and personal property has
been
repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either
returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of
twelve (12) months from the date that the Project is repaired or replaced and
operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the
policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (D) in an amount
equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected gross income from the
Project for a period of no less than twelve (12) months from the date of such
casualty (assuming such casualty had not occurred) and notwithstanding that
the
policy may expire at the end of such period. The amount of such
business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and
at
least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the
gross income from the Project for the succeeding twelve (12) month
period. Subject to the provisions of this Article 16, all
proceeds payable to Agent pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Agent
and
shall be applied at Agent’s sole discretion to (I) the obligations secured by
the Loan Documents as and when such obligations become due and payable hereunder
or (II) operating expenses of the Project approved by Agent in its sole
discretion, and any remaining proceeds shall thereafter be paid to Borrower;
provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve
Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents
on the respective dates of payment therefor except to the extent such amounts
are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income
insurance;
(iv) at
all times during
which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with
respect to the Improvements, and only if the property and liability coverage
forms do not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective

commercial
property and business income insurance required under subsections a (i) and

foregoing, (A) Borrower may maintain such coverage through a blanket policy
for
terrorism insurance with a Required Deductible not in excess of $250,000.00
(the
“Required Terrorism Deductible”) or such higher deductible if Borrower
provides Lender a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the difference between
the actual deductible and the Required Terrorism Deductible, which Letter of
Credit may be drawn upon by Lender upon the occurrence of a Casualty to pay
such
amount that would have been paid by the issuer of the Policies if the Required
Terrorism Deductible had been maintained or (B) Borrower may maintain such
coverage through a separate policy in an amount equal to the lesser of (i)
the
Full Replacement Cost and (ii) $144,000,000.00; provided Borrower shall not
be
required to spend more than an amount equal to $231,408.00; and
(xi) upon
sixty (60)
days written notice, such other insurance and in such amounts as Agent from
time
to time may request against such other insurable hazards which at the time
are
commonly insured against for property similar to the Project located in or
around the region in which the Project is located.
(b) All
insurance
provided for in Section 16.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and
enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or, in the singular,
the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the confirmation by Agent that the
insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds satisfy
the
requirements expressly set forth herein. The Policies shall be issued
by a financially sound and responsible insurance company or a syndicate of
companies through which at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the coverage
(if
there are four (4) or fewer members of the syndicate) or at least sixty percent
(60%) of the coverage (if there are five (5) or more members of the syndicate)
is provided by companies authorized to do business in the State and having
a
claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P and an equivalent
rating by Fitch and Xxxxx’x and an A.M. Best rating of “A, X” or better;
provided, however, the Policies may be maintained by Factory Mutual Insurance
Companies on the condition that, to the extent required by Agent, Borrower
maintains a credit wrap, in form and substance acceptable to Agent, provided
by
Lexington Insurance Company, or other carrier authorized to do business in
the
State and having a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P and
an equivalent rating by Fitch and Xxxxx’x. The Policies described in
Section 16.1 (other than those strictly limited to liability
protection) shall designate Agent as mortgagee and loss payee. Not
less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies
theretofore furnished to Agent, certificates of insurance evidencing the
Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Agent of payment of the
premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by
Borrower to Agent.
(c) Any
blanket
insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Agent the amount of coverage
from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same
protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Project in compliance
with the provisions of Section 16.1(a).
(d) All
Policies of
insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 16.1(a), except for the
Policy referenced in Section 16.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the
insured and Agent, as agent, the additional insured, as its interests may
appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and
earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard
non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Agent providing that the loss
thereunder shall be payable to Agent.
(e) All
Policies of
insurance provided for in Section 16.1 shall contain clauses or
endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no
act or
negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or other occupant, or
failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise
result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way
affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Agent or
Lenders are concerned;
(ii) the
Policy shall
not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby)
or cancelled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Agent and
any
other party named therein as an additional insured;
(iii) the
issuers thereof
shall give written notice to Agent if the Policy has not been renewed thirty
(30) days prior to its expiration; and
(iv) Agent
shall not be
liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments
thereunder.
(f) If
at any time
Agent is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required
hereunder is in full force and effect, Agent shall have the right, upon prior
notice to Borrower, to take such action as Agent deems necessary to protect
its
interest in the Project, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such
insurance coverage as Agent in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All
premiums incurred by Agent in connection with such action or in obtaining such
insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Agent upon
demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest
at the Default Rate.
16.2 Casualty.
If
the Project
shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty,
Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of
the
repair and restoration of the Project substantially to the condition the Project
was in immediately prior to such casualty, with such alterations as may be
reasonably approved by Agent (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in
accordance with Section 16.4. Borrower shall give prompt
notice of any such damage in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) to
Agent. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration which are not covered
by
insurance. Upon prior written notice to Borrower, Agent may, but
shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by
Borrower. In the event of a casualty where the loss does not exceed
Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), Borrower may settle and adjust such claim;
provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b)
such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner.
In the event of a casualty where the loss exceeds Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000) or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and
adjust such claim only with the consent of Agent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Agent shall have the opportunity to
participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any such
adjustments. Notwithstanding any casualty, Borrower shall continue to
pay all amounts payable under the Loan Documents.
16.3 Condemnation.
Borrower
shall
promptly give Agent notice of the actual or threatened (upon receipt by Borrower
of written notice of such threat) commencement of any proceeding for the
condemnation of the Property and shall deliver to Agent copies of any and all
papers served in connection with such proceedings. Provided no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, in the event of a condemnation where the amount
of the taking does not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), Borrower may
settle and compromise such condemnation; provided that the same is effected
in a
commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event a
condemnation where the amount of the taking exceeds Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000) or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and
compromise the condemnation only with the consent of Agent (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Agent shall have the opportunity
to
participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any litigation and settlement discussions in
respect thereof and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Agent all
instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at
its
expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with
Agent, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on
or
defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any
public or quasi-public authority through condemnation or otherwise (including
but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the
exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay all amounts payable
under the Loan Documents. If the Project or any portion thereof is
taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently
prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the
provisions of this Agreement. If the Property is sold, through
foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lenders of any condemnation
award, Lenders shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on
the
Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive such award, or
a
portion thereof sufficient to pay the remaining indebtedness.

reasonable discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.
(ii) The
Net Proceeds
shall be held by Agent in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed
in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 16.4(k), shall constitute
additional security for the Loan and other obligations under the Loan Documents.
The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Agent to, or as directed by, Borrower
from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Agent that (A) all materials installed and work
and
labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the
requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for
in
full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or
materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or
encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Project which have not either
been
fully bonded to the satisfaction of Agent and discharged of record or in the
alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Agent by the title company
issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(iii) All
plans and
specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject
to
prior review and acceptance in all respects by Agent, which acceptance shall
not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Agent shall have the use of the
plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or
obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors,
subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the
contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review
and acceptance by Agent, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld
or
delayed. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent in
connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration shall
be
paid by Borrower.
(iv) In
no event shall
Agent be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an
amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place
as part of the Restoration minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty
Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually
incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration until the Restoration
has
been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 16.4(b), be less
than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors
and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be
released until the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 16.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for
the re-occupancy and use of the Project have been obtained from all appropriate
governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Agent receives evidence
satisfactory to Agent that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full
or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that
Agent will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect
to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration
when
the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all
work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the
contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor,
subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment
in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as
may
be reasonably requested by Agent or by the title company issuing the Title
Insurance Policy, and Agent receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance
Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence
of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Agent,
the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved
by
the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond
with
respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Agent
shall not be
obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once
every calendar month.
(vi) If
at any time the
Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable
opinion of Agent be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which
are
estimated by the Agent to be incurred in connection with the completion of
the
Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds
Deficiency”) with Agent before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds
shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency shall be held by Agent and
shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the
Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net
Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 16.4(b) shall
constitute additional security for the Loan and other obligations under the
Loan
Documents.
(vii) The
excess, if any,
of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds
Deficiency deposited with Agent after the Restoration has been completed in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 16.4(b), and the receipt
by Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent that all costs incurred
in
connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be (a) if the
Net
Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, remitted to Borrower, provided no Event of
Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or (b) if the Net Proceeds are
Condemnation Proceeds, be applied subject to Section 16.4(c), toward the
payment of the Loan whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority
and proportions as Agent in its sole discretion shall deem proper.
(c) All
Net Proceeds
not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned
to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 16.4(b)(vii) may
be retained and applied by Agent toward the payment of the Loan whether or
not
then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Agent shall
deem
proper or, at the discretion of the Agent, the same may be paid, either in
whole
or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as the Agent shall
designate.
(d) In
the event of
foreclosure of the Mortgage with respect to the Project, or other transfer
of
title to the Project in lieu of foreclosure, all right, title and interest
of
Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force
concerning the Project and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon
vest
in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) or
other transferee in lieu of foreclosure.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) the provisions of the Ground
Lease, the REA and Leases with Anchor Tenants with respect to insurance proceeds
for the Restoration shall control in the event of any conflict between the
provisions of the Ground Lease, the REA, Leases with Anchor Tenants and the
provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and (ii) Lender
hereby agrees to apply the proceeds of insurance to the Restoration to the
extent required by, and in accordance with, the Ground Lease, the REA and the
Leases with Anchor Tenants.

ASSIGNMENTS
BY LENDERS
17.1 Assignments
and Participations.
(a) Each
Lender shall
have the right to assign, transfer, sell, negotiate, pledge or otherwise
hypothecate this Agreement and any of its rights and security hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents (an “Assignee”) with the prior written
consent of the Agent and with the prior written consent of Borrower, which
consents by the Agent and the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed (provided that no consent of Borrower shall be required
if the Assignee is already a Lender or if an Event of Default then exists)
and
no consent of the Agent shall be required if the Assignee is already a Lender
(or an Affiliate of a Lender); provided, however, that (i) the
parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its
approval (if required) and acceptance, an assignment and assumption
(“Assignment and Assumption”) in substantially the form of
Exhibit G hereto, (ii) each such assignment shall be of a constant,
and not a varying, percentage of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, (iii) unless the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default

in no
event be less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), and (iv) the Agent
shall receive from the assigning Lender a processing fee of Three Thousand
Five
Hundred Dollars ($3,500). The Agent may designate any Assignee accepting an
assignment of a specified portion of the Loan to be a Co-Agent, an “Arranger” or
similar title, but such designation shall not confer on such Assignee the rights
or obligations of the Agent. Upon such execution, delivery, approval
and acceptance, and upon the effective date specified in the applicable
Assignment and Assumption, (a) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto
and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned
to
it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations
of a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and Borrower hereby
agrees that all of the rights and remedies of Lenders in connection with the
interest so assigned shall be enforceable against Borrower by an Assignee with
the same force and effect and to the same extent as the same would have been
enforceable but for such assignment, and (b) the assigning Lender thereunder
shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and
Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder
and thereunder. Borrower shall upon the request of any assigning
Lender execute a replacement note in favor of the Assignee with respect to
the
amount assigned in the same form as the Note then held by the Assignor, provided
that the original note shall be returned to Borrower.
(b) By
executing and
delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and
the
Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties
hereto as follows: (i) except as provided in such Assignment and
Assumption, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and
assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other
instrument or document furnished in connection therewith; (ii) such assigning
Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or
observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under any Loan Document
or
any other instrument or document furnished in connection therewith; (iii) such
Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement together with
such financial statements, Loan Documents and other documents and information
as
it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter
into the Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender hereunder; (iv) such
Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the assigning
Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as
it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions
in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such Assignee appoints
and
authorizes the Agent to take such action as the Agent on its behalf and to
exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are
delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers
as
are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will
perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the
terms
of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(c) Agent
shall
maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted
by
it and shall record in its records the names and address of each Lender and
the
Commitment of, and Percentage of the Loan owing to, such Lender from time to
time. Borrower, the Agent and Lenders may treat each entity whose
name is so recorded as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement.
(d) Upon
receipt of an
Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee,
Agent
shall, if such Assignment and Assumption has been properly completed, accept
such Assignment and Assumption, and record the information contained therein
in
its records, and the Agent shall use its best efforts to give prompt notice
thereof to Borrower (provided that neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall
be
liable for any failure to give such notice).
(e) Borrower
shall use
reasonable efforts to cooperate with Agent and each Lender in connection with
the assignment of interests under this Agreement or the sale of participations
herein.
(f) Anything
in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, and without the need to comply with
any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Agreement, including 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 to a Federal
Reserve Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release
such Lender from its obligations hereunder. To facilitate any such
pledge or assignment, the Agent shall, at the request of such Lender, enter
into
a letter agreement with the Federal Reserve Lender in, or substantially in,
the
form of the exhibit to Appendix C to the Federal Reserve Lender of New York
Operating Circular No. 12.
(g) Anything
in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may assign all or any
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another branch
bank or Affiliate of such Lender without first obtaining the approval of any
Agent or the Borrower, provided that (i) such Lender remains liable hereunder
unless the Borrower and Agent shall otherwise agree, (ii) at the time of such
assignment such Lender is not a Defaulting Lender (as defined in
Section 21.5(b)), (iii) such Lender gives the Agent and Borrower at
least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of any such assignment; (iv) the
parties to each such assignment execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment
and
Assumption, and (v) the Agent receives from the assigning Lender a processing
fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500).
(h) Each
Lender shall
have the right, without the consent of the Borrower or Agent, to sell
participations to one or more other lenders (a “Participant”) in or to
all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan and the Loan
Documents; provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations
under this Agreement (including without limitation its Commitment to Borrower
hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
(iii) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement and with regard to any and all payments to
be
made under this Agreement, (iv) the holder of any such participation shall
not
be entitled to voting rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
(but such holder may otherwise contract with the Lender selling such Participant
its interest in such Lender’s share of the Loan as to voting of such Lender’s
interest under Section 21.6(b) [but not under any other section of
this Agreement], provided that any such agreement by a Lender shall bind only
such Lender alone and not Borrower, the other Lenders or the Agent) and (v)
each
participation shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000.
(i) Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that Lenders may provide to any Assignee or Participant,
originals or copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and any other
documents, instruments, certificates, opinions, insurance policies, letters
of
credit, reports, requisitions and other materials and information of every
nature or description, and may communicate all oral information, at any time
submitted by or on behalf of Borrower or received by any Lender in connection
with the Loan or with respect to Borrower, provided that prior to any such
delivery or communication, such Assignees or Participants shall agree to
preserve the confidentiality of any of the foregoing to the same extent that
such Lender agreed to preserve such confidentiality. In order to
facilitate assignments to Assignees and sales to Participants, Borrower shall
execute such further documents, instruments or agreements as Lenders may
reasonably require; provided, that Borrower shall not be required (i) to
execute any document or agreement which would decrease its rights, or increase
its obligations, relative to those set forth in this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents (including financial obligations, personal recourse,
representations and warranties and reporting requirements), or (ii) to
expend more than incidental sums of money or incidental administrative time
for
which it does not receive reasonable reimbursement in order to comply with
any
requests or requirements of any Lender in connection with such assignment or
sale arrangement. In addition, Borrower agrees to cooperate fully
with Lenders in the exercise of Lenders’ rights pursuant to this
Section 17.1, including providing such information and documentation
regarding Borrower as any Lender or any potential Assignee or Participant may
reasonably request and to meet with potential Assignees and
Participants.

CERTAIN
TRANSFERS BY BORROWER
18.1 Prohibition
of Transfers in Violation of ERISA.
In
addition to the
prohibitions set forth in Section 15.13 above and in the Mortgage,
and not in limitation thereof, Borrower shall not assign, sell, pledge,
encumber, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of its interest or rights
in this Agreement or in the Project, or attempt to do any of the foregoing
or
suffer any of the foregoing, nor shall any party owning a direct or indirect
interest in Borrower assign, sell, pledge, encumber, transfer, hypothecate
or
otherwise dispose of any of its rights or interest (direct or indirect) in
Borrower, attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing,
if
such action would cause the Loan, or the exercise of any of Lenders’ rights in
connection therewith, to constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or
the
Internal Revenue Code (unless Borrower furnishes to Lenders a legal opinion
reasonably satisfactory to Lenders that the transaction is exempt from the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code) or
otherwise result in Lenders being deemed in violation of any applicable
provision of ERISA. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lenders
free and harmless from and against all losses, costs (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses), taxes, damages and expenses Lenders may suffer by
reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in obtaining
any prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA necessary or desirable in
Lenders’ sole judgment or by reason of a breach of the foregoing
prohibitions.
18.2 Grants
of Easements and Dedications.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower, without the consent of
Lenders, may (i) make transfers of portions of the Project to Governmental
Authorities in connection with dedication of roadways or utilities for public
use, and (ii) grant easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights
of way in the ordinary course of business for access, parking, water and sewer
lines, telephone and telegraph lines, electric lines or other utilities or
for
other similar purposes, provided that no such transfer, conveyance or
encumbrance set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall materially
adversely affect the utility or operation of the Project or materially adversely
affect the value of the Project. Agent shall execute and deliver any
instrument reasonably necessary or appropriate to evidence said action and/or,
in the case of the transfers referred to in clause (i) above only, to release
the portion of the Project affected by such dedication from the lien of the
Mortgage or, in the case of subsection (ii) above, to subordinate the lien
of
the Mortgage to such easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights
of way or other similar grants, in each case provided such documents are
reasonably acceptable to Agent.

period and provided further that Borrower shall have commenced to cure such
default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently proceeds

LENDERS’
REMEDIES IN EVENT OF DEFAULT
20.1 Remedies
Conferred Upon Lenders.
Upon
the occurrence
of any Event of Default (and for so long as the same shall be continuing),
Agent
may, and at the written direction of the Required Lenders shall, in addition
to
all remedies conferred upon Lenders by Law and by the terms of the Notes,
Mortgage and other Loan Documents, pursue any one or more of the following
remedies concurrently or successively, it being the intent hereof that none
of
such remedies shall be to the exclusion of any other:
(a) Take
possession of
the Project and do anything which is necessary or appropriate in its sole,
good
faith judgment to fulfill the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement
and
the other Loan Documents. Without restricting the generality of the
foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Borrower hereby appoints and
constitutes Agent its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution
in
the Project to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims, which
may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming
liens against the Project or security interests against fixtures or equipment,
or as may be necessary or desirable or for the clearance of title; to execute
all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required
by any of the Loan Documents; to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings
in connection with the Improvements or Project or fixtures or equipment; and
in
connection therewith, to execute instruments of release and satisfaction; and
to
do any and every act which the Borrower might do in its own behalf; it being
understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be a power coupled
with
an interest and cannot be revoked;
(b) Declare
the Notes
to be immediately due and payable by written notice to Borrower;
(c) Assess
interest on
the Notes at the Default Rate;
(d) Use
and apply any
monies deposited by Borrower with Agent or draw upon any Letters of Credit,
in
each case, regardless of the purposes for which the same was deposited, to
cure
any such default or to apply on account of any indebtedness under this Agreement
which is due and owing to Lenders;
(e) Exercise
or pursue
any other remedy or cause of action permitted under this Agreement or any other
Loan Documents, or conferred upon Lenders by operation of Law.
Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Sections
19.1(f) or (g) above with respect to Borrower, all amounts evidenced
by the Notes shall automatically become due and payable, together with accrued
interest thereon, without any presentment, demand, protest or further notice
of
any kind to Borrower. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such
Event of Default as shall be directed by the Lenders whose approval is required;
provided that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions,
the Agent may (but shall not be obliged to) take such action, or refrain from
taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as the Agent shall
deem advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders. In no event
shall Agent or Lenders be required to take any action which it determines to
be
contrary to Law or which could expose the Agent or Lenders to material risk
of
liability.
20.2 Non-Waiver
of Remedies.
No
waiver of any
breach or default hereunder shall constitute or be construed as a waiver of
any
subsequent breach or default or of any breach or default of any other provision
of this Agreement.

AG, New
York Branch, is hereby appointed as Agent hereunder and under each other Loan
Document, and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent to act as
agent
for Lenders and to take such actions as Lenders are obligated or entitled to
take under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
to
exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such
other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent
agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained in this
Article 21 in substantially the same manner that it would act in
dealing with a loan held for its own account. Agent shall not have a
fiduciary relationship with respect to any Lender by reason of this
Agreement.
The
provisions of
this Article 21 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and Lenders, and
Borrower shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions
hereof except as provided in Section 21.2 below. In performing
its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as
agent of the Lenders and does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have
assumed, any obligations toward or relationship of agency or trust with or
for
the Borrower.
21.2 Reliance
on Agent.
All
acts of and
communications by the Agent, as agent for the Lenders, shall be deemed legally
conclusive and binding; and Borrower or any third party (including any court)
shall (and may) rely on any and all communications or acts of the Agent with
respect to the exercise of any rights or the granting of any consent, waiver
or
approval on behalf of Lenders in all circumstances where an action by Lenders
is
required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement or the provisions of any other
Loan Document or by applicable law without the right or necessity of making
any
inquiry of any individual Lender as to the authority of Agent with respect
to
such matter. In no event shall any of the foregoing limit the rights
or obligations of any Lender with respect to any other Lender pursuant to this
Article 21.
21.3 Powers.
The
Agent shall
have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically
delegated to the Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto, and may exercise all other powers of
Lenders as are not made subject to the consent of the Required Lenders pursuant
to Section 21.6(a) or to the consent of all Lenders pursuant to
Section 21.6(b). The Agent shall not be considered, or be
deemed, a separate agent of the Lenders hereunder, but is, and shall be deemed,
an Agent acting in its capacity as an Agent, exercising such rights and powers
under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent or as Agent
is otherwise entitled to take hereunder. Agent shall have no implied
duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action
except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by
the
Agent. The designation of any Lender as Co-Agent shall not confer any
of the rights, powers, or obligations of Agent on such Lender.
21.4 Disbursements.
Each
Lender which
is required to make a disbursement of the Loan under this Agreement shall make
available to Agent (or the funding bank or entity designated by the Agent),
the
amount of such Lender’s Commitment in immediately available funds not later than
11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Closing Date. Unless the Agent
shall have been notified by any Lender prior to such time for funding that
such
Lender does not intend to make available to the Agent such Lender’s advance, the
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Agent
and the Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to,
make
available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding
amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Lender on or prior
to
the Closing Date, such Lender agrees to pay and Borrower agrees to repay to
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest
thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrower
until the date such amount is paid or repaid to Agent, at (A) in the case of
such Lender, the overnight cost of funds at which federal funds are made
available to the Agent (such interest rate to change automatically effective
as
of the date of each change in the overnight cost of federal funds), and (B)
in
the case of Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to a disbursement
made on the Closing Date. If such Lender shall pay to Agent such
corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s
advance, and if both such Lender and Borrower shall have paid and repaid,
respectively, such corresponding amount, Agent shall promptly return to Borrower
such corresponding amount in same day funds.
21.5 Distribution
and Apportionment of Payments.
(a) Subject
to
Section 21.5(b), payments actually received by Agent for the account
of the Lenders shall be paid to them promptly after receipt thereof by
Agent. Agent shall distribute any such payment to the Lenders (1) if
Agent receives such payment on or before 12:00 p.m. (New York time), on the
same
Business Day such payment is received, or (2) if Agent receives such payment
after 12:00 p.m. (New York time), on the immediately succeeding Business Day,
in
each case subject to delay for force majeure not to exceed two (2) Business
Days. If any payments received by Agent are not timely distributed to
the Lenders as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, Agent shall
pay
to such Lenders interest thereon, from the date of receipt of such funds by
Agent until such funds are paid in immediately available funds to such Lenders,
at the lesser of (i) the overnight cost of funds at which federal funds are
made
available to the Agent (such interest rate to change automatically effective
as
of the date of each change in the overnight cost of federal funds) and (ii)
if
the applicable payment represents repayment of a portion of the principal of
the
Loan, the rate of interest applicable to such portion of the
Loan. Payments of principal and interest in respect of the Loan, all
payments of the fees described in this Agreement (but not in any separate fee
letter except to the extent expressly set forth therein), and all payments
in
respect of any other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents shall
be
allocated among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion
of
their respective Percentages or as otherwise provided herein or in the other
Loan Documents, as the case may be. All funds received by Agent or
any Lenders from the exercise of remedies hereunder or under the Loan Documents,
including without limitation any liquidation, sale or other realization upon
all
or any portion of the Project, shall, unless otherwise required by the terms
of
the Loan Documents or applicable Laws, be applied as follows:
(i) First,
to the
payment of all advances, fees and expenses (to the extent not paid by Borrower
or Carveout Guarantor) incurred by Agent reimbursable under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, all reasonable costs and expenses of collection,
reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and any foreclosure
expenses;
(ii) Second, to
the payment of interest then accrued on the Loan, to each Lender
prorata in accordance with its Percentage;
(iii) Third,
to the
payment of the principal balance then owing on the Loan and to Breakage Costs
under Interest Rate Agreements, to Agent and each Lender
pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts owed to
each under this clause (iii);
(iv) Fourth,
to the
payment of all other amounts owed by Borrower to Agent and each Lender
pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts owed;
and
(v) Last,
to the
Borrower.
The
Agent shall
distribute to each Lender at its primary address set forth herein or in its
Assignment and Assumption, or at such other address as a Lender may request
in
writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, provided that the
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 the Required 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
the Lenders as among themselves and may at any time or from time to time be
changed by the Lenders as they may elect, in writing, without necessity of
notice to or consent of or approval by Borrower.
(b) If
a Lender (a
“Defaulting Lender”) fails to pay within five (5) Business Days after
written notice from Agent any other sum payable by it hereunder, such sum
together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such amount
was
due until repaid (such sum and interest thereon as aforesaid referred to,
collectively, as the “Lender Default Obligation”) shall be payable by the
Defaulting Lender (i) to any Lender(s) which elect, at their sole option
(and with no obligation to do so), to fund the amount which the Defaulting
Lender failed to fund or (ii) to Agent or any other Lender which under the
terms of this Agreement is entitled to reimbursement from the Defaulting Lender
for the amounts advanced or expended. Notwithstanding any provision
hereof to the contrary, until such time as a Defaulting Lender has repaid the
Lender Default Obligation in full, all amounts which would otherwise be
distributed to the Defaulting Lender shall instead be applied first to repay
the
Lender Default Obligation (to be applied first to interest at the Default Rate
and then to principal) until the Lender Default Obligation has been repaid
in
full (whether by such application or by cure by the Defaulting Lender),
whereupon such Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender. Any
interest collected from Borrower on account of principal advanced by any
Lender(s) on behalf of a Defaulting Lender shall be paid to the Lender(s) who
made such advance and shall be credited against the Defaulting Lender’s
obligation to pay interest on the amount advanced at the Default
Rate. If no other Lender funds the amount which the Defaulting Lender
was obligated to fund, then a portion of the Defaulting Lender’s indebtedness
hereunder equal to the Lender Default Obligation shall be subordinated to the
indebtedness of Borrower to all of the other Lenders and shall be repaid only
after payment in full of all other indebtedness hereunder. The
provisions of this section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether
an
Event of Default occurs and is then continuing, and notwithstanding (i) any
other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or (ii) any instruction of
Borrower as to its desired application of payments. Additionally, a
Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or
approval of Required Lenders or all Lenders shall be suspended until it ceases
to be a Defaulting Lender, and during any such period in which a Defaulting
Lender’s voting rights have been suspended the Required Lenders shall be the
requisite percentage of all other Lenders. The Agent shall be
entitled to (i) withhold or set off, and to apply to the payment of the Lender
Default Obligation 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 Lender Default Obligation and,
to
the extent such recovery would not fully compensate the Lenders for the
Defaulting Lender’s breach of this Agreement, to collect damages. In
addition, the Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Agent and
each
of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all claims, actions,
liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and
expenses), plus interest thereon at the Default Rate, for funds advanced by
Agent or any other Lender on account of the Defaulting Lender or any other
damages such entities may sustain or incur by reason of or as a direct
consequence of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to abide by its
obligations under this Agreement. If a Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, Borrower may find a replacement Lender and require the Defaulting Lender
to assign its interest to the replacement Lender on and subject to the
provisions of Section 17.1(a) (including the requirement of Agent’s
consent), provided that there shall be deducted from the amount that would
otherwise be paid to the Defaulting Lender upon the assignment of its interest
in the Loan the amount of the Lender Default Obligation.
(c) At
least five
Business Days prior to the first date 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, agrees
that
it will deliver to the Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or Form W-8 ECI, certifying in either case that
such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes
without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income
taxes. Each Lender which so delivers a Form W-8 BEN or Form W-8 ECI
further undertakes to deliver to the Agent two additional copies of such form
(or a successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes
obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most
recent forms so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions
or
renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Agent, in each case
certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement
and the Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal
income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in
treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such
delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable
or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any
such
form with respect to it and such Lender advises the Agent that it is not capable
of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States
federal income tax.
21.6 Consents
and Approvals.
(a) Each
of the
following acts shall not be undertaken by Agent without the approval or consent
of the Required Lenders:
(i) Exercise
of rights
and remedies under the Loan Documents following an Event of Default; provided,
however, that unless and until Agent has received direction from the Required
Lenders, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as the
Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interest of the Lenders.
(ii) Appointment
of a
successor Agent;
(iii) Approval
of
Post-Default Plan;

of any
matter for which the approval of the Required Lenders is expressly required
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
and

the
Project.
(b) Each

(i) Extension
of the
Maturity Date (beyond any extension permitted herein) or forgiveness of all
or
any portion of the principal amount of the Loan or any accrued interest thereon,
or any other amendment of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which
would
reduce the underlying interest rate (except as hereinabove specifically
provided) or the rate at which fees are calculated or forgive any loan fee,
or
extend the time of payment of any principal, interest or fees;
(ii) Reduction
of the
percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders;
(iii) Increase
of the
amount of the Loan or any non-consenting Lender’s Commitment;
(iv) Release
of any lien
on any material collateral (except after payment in full of the Loan or as
otherwise required under the terms hereof or the other Loan
Documents);
(v) Release
of the
Carveout Guarantor from all or any material part of its liability under the
Carveout Guaranty other than as may be required by the terms thereof;
and
(vi) Amendment
of the
provisions of this Article 21.
(c) In
addition to the
required consents or approvals referred to in subsections (a) and (b)
above, the Agent may at any time request instructions from the Required Lenders
with respect to any actions or approvals which, by the terms of this Agreement
or of any of the Loan Documents, the Agent is permitted or required to take
or
to grant without instructions from any Lenders, and if such instructions are
promptly requested, the Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from
taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any
liability whatsoever for refraining from taking any action or withholding any
approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such
instructions from the Required Lenders. Without limiting the
foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent
as
a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or
any
of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required
Lenders or, where applicable, all Lenders. The Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender at any time that the Required Lenders have instructed the
Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.
(d) Each
Lender
authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the Loan Documents other than
this Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender agrees
that any action taken by the Agent at the direction or with the consent of
the
Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, and the exercise by the Agent at the direction or with
the
consent of the Required 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 Lenders, except for actions specifically
requiring the approval of all Lenders. All communications from the
Agent to the Lenders requesting Lenders’ determination, consent, approval or
disapproval (i) shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Lender
which notice shall specify that unless such Lender responds within the Lender
Reply Period (defined below) such Lender shall be deemed to have approved such
action, (ii) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or item as
to
which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or
shall advise each Lender where such matter or item may be inspected, or shall
otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (iii) shall include,
if
reasonably requested by a Lender and to the extent not previously provided
to
such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided
to
the Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and
(iv)
shall include the Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in
respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event
within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the request therefor from the
Agent (the “Lender Reply Period”). Unless a Lender shall give
written notice to the Agent that it objects to the recommendation or
determination of the Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons
behind such objection) within the Lender Reply Period, such Lender shall be
deemed to have approved of or consented to such recommendation or
determination. With respect to decisions requiring the approval of
the Required Lenders or all Lenders, the Agent shall submit its recommendation
or determination for approval of or consent to such recommendation or
determination to all Lenders and upon receiving the required approval or consent
shall follow the course of action or determination recommended to the Lenders
by
the Agent or such other course of action recommended by the Required Lenders,
and each non-responding Lender shall be deemed to have concurred with such
recommended course of action.
21.7 Agency
Provisions Relating to Collateral.
(a) The
Agent is hereby
authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to
or
further consent from any Lender, at any time and from time to time, to take
any
action with respect to any Collateral or any Loan Document which may be
necessary to preserve and maintain such Collateral or to perfect and maintain
perfected the liens upon such Collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement
and
the other Loan Documents.
(b) Except
as provided
in this Agreement, the Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender
or to any other person or entity to assure that any Collateral exists or is
owned by Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered
or that the liens granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or
pursuant hereto or thereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully
created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular
priority.
(c) Should
the Agent
commence any proceeding or in any way seek to enforce the Agent’s or the
Lenders’ rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether as
a result thereof the Agent shall acquire title to any Collateral, each Lender,
upon demand therefor from time to time, shall contribute its share (based on
its
Percentage) of the reasonable costs and/or expenses of any such enforcement
or
acquisition, including, but not limited to, fees of receivers or trustees,
court
costs, title company charges, filing and recording fees, appraisers’ fees and
fees and expenses of attorneys to the extent not otherwise reimbursed by
Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Lender shall contribute its share (based on its Percentage) of all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by the Agent (including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses) if the Agent employs counsel for advice or other representation
(whether or not any suit has been or shall be filed) with respect to any
collateral for the Loan or any part thereof, or any of the Loan Documents,
or
the attempt to enforce any security interest or lien on any collateral, or
to
enforce any rights of the Agent or the Lenders or any of Borrower’s or any other
party’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. It is understood
and agreed that in the event the Agent determines it is necessary to engage
counsel for Lenders from and after the occurrence of a Default or Event of
Default, said counsel shall be selected by the Agent and written notice of
such
selection, together with a copy of such counsel’s engagement letter and fee
estimate, shall be delivered to the Lenders.
(d) In
the event that
all or any portion of the collateral for the Loan is acquired by the Agent
as
the result of the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any part of Borrower’s
obligations under the Loan Documents, title to any such collateral or any
portion thereof shall be held in the name of the Agent or a nominee or
subsidiary of the Agent, as agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and
the
Lenders. The Agent shall prepare a recommended course of action for
such collateral (the “Post-Default Plan”), which shall be subject to the
approval of the Required Lenders. The Agent shall administer the
collateral in accordance with the Post-Default Plan, and upon demand therefor
from time to time, each Lender will contribute its share (based on its
Percentage) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent pursuant
to the Post-Default Plan, including without limitation, any operating losses
and
all necessary operating reserves. To the extent there is net
operating income from such collateral, the Agent shall, in accordance with
the
Post-Default Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to
Lenders. All such distributions shall be made to Lenders in
accordance with their respective Percentages. In no event shall the
provisions of this subsection or the Post-Default Plan require any Agent or
any
Lender to take an action which would cause such Lender to be in violation of
any
applicable regulatory requirements.
21.8 Lender
Actions Against Borrower or the Collateral.
Each
Lender agrees
that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings,
against Borrower or any other person hereunder or under any other Loan Documents
with respect to exercising claims against Borrower or rights in any Collateral,
except for actions by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders or as set forth in
Section 21.10. With respect to any action by the Agent to
enforce the rights and remedies of the Agent and Lenders with respect to the
Borrower and any collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
each
Lender hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the court in which such action
is
maintained.
21.9 Assignment
and Participation.
No
Lender shall be
permitted to assign or sell all or any portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement to Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower.
21.10 Ratable
Sharing.
Subject
to
Sections 21.4 and 21.5, Lenders agree among themselves that (i)
with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment
of the Loan, equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such
amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Percentages,
whether received by voluntary payment, by the exercise of the right of set-off
or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any
or all of the Loan Documents or any collateral and (ii) if any of them shall
by
voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim, set-off,
banker’s lien or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate
amount of the Loan held by it which is greater than its Percentage of the
payments on account of the Loan, the one receiving such excess payment shall
promptly return such excess payment to Agent. Borrower agrees that
any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this
Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights
of
payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation
as
fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount
of
such participation.
21.11 General
Immunity.
Neither
Agent nor
any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to Borrower
or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or
therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct,
and provided that Agent shall not be exculpated from breach of any contractual
obligation to which the Agent is subject. In the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct, the Agent shall not be liable for any
apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith pursuant
to
Section 21.5, and if any such apportionment or distribution is
subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any
Lender to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from the
Agent
any deficiency, and Agent shall have the right to recover from the recipients
of
such payments any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined
to have been entitled.
21.12 No
Responsibility for Loan, Recitals, etc.
Neither
Agent nor
any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for
or
have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any statement,
warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any
use
of the Loan; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or
agreements of any party to any Loan Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any
condition specified in this Agreement, except receipt of items purporting to
be
the items required to be delivered to any Agent; or (iv) the validity,
effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or
writing furnished in connection therewith, provided that the foregoing shall
not
release any Agent from liability for its gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
21.13 Action
on Instructions of Lenders.
The
Agent shall in
all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder
and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed
by all the Lenders (or the Required Lenders, if such action may be directed
hereunder by the Required Lenders), and such instructions and any action taken
or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of
Lenders. Each Lender, severally to the extent of its Percentage,
hereby agrees to indemnify Agent against and hold it harmless from any and
all
liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing
to take any such action, provided that the foregoing shall not release Agent
from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
21.14 Employment
of Agents and Counsel.
The
Agent may
undertake any of its duties as Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document
by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable
to Lenders, except as to money or securities received by them or their
authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Agent
shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to
the
agency hereby created and its duties hereunder and under any other Loan
Document.
21.15 Reliance
on Documents; Counsel.
The
Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon any notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,
telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct
and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect
to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Agent, which
counsel may be an employee of Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not
release the Agent from liability for its gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Any such counsel shall be deemed to be acting on behalf
of Lenders in assisting the Agent with respect to the Loan, but shall not be
precluded from also representing Agent in any matter in which the interests
of
Agent and the other Lenders may differ.
21.16 Agent’s
Reimbursement and Indemnification.
Lenders
agree to
reimburse and indemnify Agent ratably in accordance with their Percentages
(i) for any amounts (excluding principal and interest on the Loan and loan
fees) not reimbursed by Borrower for which Agent is entitled to reimbursement
under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by Agent on
behalf of Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,
administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents, if not paid by Borrower,
(iii) for any expenses incurred by Agent on behalf of Lenders which may be
necessary or desirable to preserve and maintain collateral or to perfect and
maintain perfected the liens upon the collateral granted pursuant to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, if not paid by Borrower, (iv) for any
amounts and other expenses incurred by Agent on behalf of Lenders in connection
with any default by any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents,
if
not paid by such Lender, and (v) for any liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan
Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the
transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms
thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable
for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence
or
willful misconduct of Agent.
21.17 Rights
as a Lender.
With
respect to its
Commitment, if any, Agent shall have the same rights, powers and obligations
hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise
such
rights and powers as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or
“Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include such Agent in
its individual capacities. The Borrower and each Lender acknowledge
and agree that Agent and/or its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money
to, hold other investments in, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt,
equity or other transaction or have other relationships, in addition to those
contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with Borrower or
any
of its Affiliates in which Borrower or such affiliate is not restricted hereby
from engaging with any other person.
21.18 Lenders’
Credit Decisions.
Each
Lender
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent
or
any other Lender and based on the financial statements and other information
prepared by Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender
and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at
the
time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
21.19 Notices.
Should
Agent
receive any written notice from Borrower, or should the Agent send Borrower
any notice, the Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to each
Lender.
21.20 Successor
Agent/Removal of Agent.
(a) Agent
may resign
from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder at any time
by
giving at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lenders and
Borrower. Any such resignation shall take effect on the date set
forth in such notice or as otherwise provided below. Such resignation
by Agent as agent shall not affect its obligations hereunder, if any, as a
Lender.
(b) The
Agent may be
removed for material breach of its duties under this Agreement or the other
Loan
Documents by the Required Lenders. Additionally, if (other than at
such time as an Event of Default exists) Agent transfers all or portion of
its
interest in the Loan so that Agent ceases to hold at least a $25,000,000.00
interest in the Loan (minus principal pay-downs), Borrower or the Required
Lenders may elect to replace Agent.
(c) Upon
resignation or
removal of the Agent, or any successor Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint
a successor Agent with the consent of Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided that no consent of Borrower shall
be
required if an Event of Default then exists). If no successor Agent
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted
such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving
notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may appoint a successor Agent
with the consent of Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed (provided that no consent of Borrower shall be required
if an Event of Default then exists). Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent
shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the Agent and the Agent, and the retiring Agent shall
be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other
Loan
Documents other than its liability, if any, for duties and obligations accrued
prior to its retirement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or
removal hereunder as an Agent, the provisions of this Article 21
shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Agent hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents.
21.21 Modifications
to Article 21.
Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Article 21 are intended
to govern the relationship among the Lenders and Agent, and the provisions
of
this Article 21 may accordingly be modified without Borrower’s consent
(except for approval rights expressly granted to Borrower herein).
21.22 Titles.
The
Agent may
designate any Lender to be a Co-Agent, a “Syndication Agent,” a “Book Manager,”
an “Arranger” or similar title, but such designation shall not confer on such
Lender or other party any rights or obligations of the Agent.

waiver by Lenders of such requirements with respect to any future disbursements
of Loan proceeds.

connection with the Project;

time
to time in connection with the payment of interest due and payable under the

Exculpation.
Notwithstanding

expressly waive and release, on behalf of themselves, and their successors
and
assigns, all right to assert any such liability against, or satisfy any claim
or
obligation arising thereunder against, any of the Constituent Partners or the
