(a) Generally. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from the Closing Date at the Interest Rate until repaid in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions hereof.
(b) Determination of Interest Rate.
(i) The Interest Rate with respect to the Loan shall be: (A) the LIBOR Rate with respect to the applicable Interest Accrual Period for a LIBOR Loan or (B) the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread for a Prime Rate Loan if the Loan is converted to a Prime Rate Loan pursuant to the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a LIBOR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan.
(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Loan shall be a LIBOR Loan and Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan at the LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Accrual Period. Any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Interest Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on which such change in the Interest Rate shall become effective.

-35-
(A) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, capital adequacy, tax, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;
(B) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or
(C) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable as determined by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(viii) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (A) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (B) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Accrual Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder and (C) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Interest Rate from the LIBOR Rate to the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate on a date other than the last day of an Interest Accrual Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (A), (B) and (C) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
-36-
(c) Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest in respect of the Loan, shall each accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date the applicable Default occurred without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein, (ii) without limitation of any rights or remedies contained herein and/or in any other Loan Document, any interest accrued at the Default Rate in excess of the interest component of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall, to the extent not already paid and/or due and payable hereunder, be due and payable on each Monthly Payment Date and (iii) all references herein and/or in any other Loan Document to the “Interest Rate” shall be deemed to refer to the Default Rate.
(d) Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as then applicable, expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (c) the outstanding principal balance. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Monthly Payment Date shall be the Interest Accrual Period in which the related Monthly Payment Date occurs. Borrower understands and acknowledges that such interest accrual requirement results in more interest accruing on the Loan than if either a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year or the actual number of days and a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year were used to compute the accrual of interest on the Loan.
(e) Usury Savings. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
-37-
(a) Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only on the Closing Date for the period from (and including) the Closing Date through (and including) the fourteenth (14th) day of either (i) the month in which the Closing Date occurs (if the Closing Date occurs on or before the fourteenth (14th) day of such month, or (ii) the month following the month in which the Closing Date occurs (if the Closing Date occurs on or after the fifteenth (15th) day of the then current calendar month; provided, however, if the Closing Date is the fourteenth (14th) day of a calendar month, no such separate payment of interest shall be due. Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest in the amount of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount on the Monthly Payment Date occurring in March, 2014 and on each Monthly Payment Date occurring thereafter to and including the Maturity Date.

(d) If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents, other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(e)
(i) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
(ii) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be deemed to be the immediately preceding Business Day.
(iii) All payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto.

On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, Lender shall apply such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in an amount up to the applicable Release Price relating to a Property or Properties subject to the Liquidation Event together with payment of any applicable Breakage Costs, Prepayment Premium (except in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation) and Interest Shortfall. Any amounts of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service in excess of the applicable Release Price relating to a Property or Properties subject to the Liquidation Event shall be deposited into the Cash Management Account (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement). Once Borrower has knowledge that a Liquidation Event has occurred, Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower and/or Mezzanine A Borrower, as applicable, to promptly deliver written notice of such Liquidation Event to Lender. Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of (i) a foreclosure sale on the date notice of such foreclosure sale is given and (ii) a refinancing of all or any portion of a Property and/or the Mezzanine A Collateral, on the date on which a commitment for such refinancing has been entered into. The provisions of this Section 2.7(b) shall not be construed to contravene in any manner the restrictions and other provisions regarding refinancing of the Mortgage Loan or the Mezzanine A Loan or the Sale or Pledge of the Properties (or any portion thereof) set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, in Section 2.10), the other Loan Documents, the Mezzanine A Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Documents. The Release Price with respect to any Individual Property subject to a prepayment in accordance with this Section 2.7(b) shall be reduced in an amount equal to the principal portion of such prepayment applied to the Loan.
(c) Prepayments After Default. If concurrently with or after an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the principal of the Loan is tendered by Borrower, a purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person, (i) such tender shall be deemed an attempt to circumvent the prohibition against prepayment set forth herein, and (ii) Borrower, such purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall pay the Default Prepayment Premium (to the extent such payment is made on or prior to the Monthly Payment Date occurring in August, 2015), the Breakage Costs and the Interest Shortfall, in addition to the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

Failure to satisfy the foregoing shall constitute an “Additional Termination Event” as defined by Section 5(b)(v) of the ISDA Master Agreement, with the Counterparty as the “Affected Party.” In the event that a Counterparty is required pursuant to the terms of an Interest Rate Cap Agreement to find a replacement Counterparty, Borrower covenants and agrees that Borrower shall seek Lender’s approval with respect thereto and shall not approve or consent to the foregoing unless and until Borrower receives Lender’s prior written approval and shall approve or consent to the foregoing upon receipt of Lender’s prior written approval. Borrower’s failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 2.8(e) shall constitute, at Lender’s option, an immediate Event of Default.

Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Accounts; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

No other investments of the sums on deposit in the Interest Bearing Accounts shall be permitted. Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds in the Interest Bearing Accounts.
(i) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it solely shall be, and shall at all times remain, liable to Lender or Servicer for all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, charges, costs and expenses in connection with the Accounts, this Agreement and the enforcement hereof, including, without limitation, any monthly or annual fees or charges as may be reasonably assessed by Lender or Servicer in connection with the administration of the Accounts and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel to Lender and Servicer as needed to enforce, protect or preserve the rights and remedies of Lender and/or Servicer under this Agreement.

Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by applicable law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the Pledge Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
(c) With respect to Borrower and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion of the Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt.

Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any amounts recovered from the Collateral (or any portion thereof) or any other collateral for the Loan and/or paid to or received by Lender may, after an Event of Default, be applied by Lender toward the Debt in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
(f) Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Lender is authorized to appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Collateral for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by applicable law), with interest as provided in this Section, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred into the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefore.

(f) In the event Lender reasonably determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the financial data and financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, Lender may request, and Borrower and Guarantor shall promptly provide, such other financial data and financial statements as Lender reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate for such compliance.
(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lender shall pay the reasonable and out-of-pocket fees and expenses of Borrower with respect to Borrower’s compliance with this Section 11.1; provided, that, Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of (i) Borrower’s legal fees with respect to compliance with the terms of this Section 11.1, and (ii) all of Borrower’s costs and expenses with respect to Borrower’s compliance with Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto.

(c) Borrower and Guarantor shall provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum, offering memorandum or offering circular, (ii) a free writing prospectus, (iii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement or (iv) a term sheet, as applicable, an agreement (A) certifying that Borrower and Guarantor have examined such Disclosure Documents specified by Lender and that each such Disclosure Document, as it relates to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Mezzanine A Borrower, Borrower Affiliates, the Properties, the Collateral, the Mezzanine A Collateral, Manager, Guarantor, the Property Documents, the Operating Leases, the Management Agreements, the Special Management Agreement, the CBA Multiemployer Plans, the Union Documents, the SRO Arrangements, the terms of the Loan Documents, the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the terms of the Mezzanine A Loan Documents, the use of the Loan proceeds, the Mortgage Loan proceeds and Mezzanine A Loan proceeds and all other aspects of the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine A Loan, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 11.2, Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of Lender (“Lender Affiliate”) that has filed the registration statement relating to the Securitization (the “Registration Statement”) or is otherwise acting as “depositor” of the Securitization, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person that controls the Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Lender Group”), and Lender Affiliate, and any other placement agent or underwriter with respect to the Securitization, each of their respective directors and each Person who controls Lender Affiliate or any other placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such sections or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in such sections, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Lender Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property. The indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not the indemnification agreement described above is provided. The aforesaid indemnity will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.
-119-
(d) In connection with filings under Exchange Act and/or the Securities Act, Borrower and Guarantor shall (i) indemnify Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Disclosure Document a material fact required to be stated in the Disclosure Document in order to make the statements in the Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(e) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 11.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 11.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof (but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party). In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 11.2, such indemnifying party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnifying party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party.
-120-
After notice from such Indemnifying Person to such Indemnified Person of its election to so assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof, unless, (1) if the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnified Person and any of the Indemnifying Persons and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different from or additional to those available to an Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person at the expense of the Indemnifying Persons, (2) the Indemnifying Person shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action (provided that the Indemnified Person has provided the Indemnifying Person with ten (10) days prior written notice that it intends to exercise its rights pursuant to this clause (2) and the Indemnifying Person has not employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person within such 10-day period), or (3) the Indemnifying Person has authorized in writing the employment of counsel of the Indemnified Person at the expense of the Indemnifying Person.
Without the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnified Persons, no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless (i) such Indemnifying Person shall have given the Indemnified Persons reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings and (ii) such settlement, compromise or judgment does not include a statement as to, or admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. As long as an Indemnifying Person has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person(s) without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel to which the Indemnified Person is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement, compromise or entry of a judgment in connection with any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement, compromise or judgment is entered into or entered, as applicable, more than ninety (90) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request, (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement, compromise or judgment, and (iii) such settlement, compromise or judgment does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any such Indemnifying Person; provided, that the Indemnified Person has provided the Indemnifying Person with five (5) Business Days prior notice of its intent to exercise its rights under this sentence.
-121-
The Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Agreement is judicially determined to be unenforceable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Agreement), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees (by underwriting discount or otherwise) actually received by such Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan or the Securitization.
The Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Agreement shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Agreement.
(f) The liabilities and obligations of each of Borrower, Guarantor and Lender under this Section 11.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt. Failure by Borrower, Guarantor and/or any other Borrower Party to comply with the provisions of Section 11.1 and/or Section 11.2 within the timeframes specified therein and/or as otherwise required by Lender shall, at Lender’s option, constitute a breach of the terms thereof and/or an Event of Default. Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Borrower Party) hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to take any actions required of any Borrower Party under Sections 11.1, 11.2 and/or 11.6 in the event any Borrower Party fails to do the same, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) except as may otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Article 11, each Borrower Party shall bear its own cost of compliance with this Article (including, without limitation, the costs of any ongoing financial reporting or similar provisions contained herein) and (ii) to the extent that the timeframes for compliance with such ongoing financial reporting and similar provisions are shorter than the timeframes allowed for comparable reporting obligations under Section 4.12 hereof (if any), the timeframes under this Article 11 shall control.
Section 11.3. Reserves/Escrows. In the event that Securities are issued in connection with the Loan, all funds held by Lender in escrow or pursuant to reserves in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deposited in “eligible accounts” at “eligible institutions” and, to the extent applicable, invested in “permitted investments” as then defined and required by the Rating Agencies.
Section 11.4. Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/special servicer/trustee selected by Lender (collectively, the “Servicer”) and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to such Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement between Lender and such Servicer. Without limitation of any other provision contained herein, Borrower shall be liable for the costs and expenses of Lender incurred with respect to any Servicer, including, without limitation, any initial set up costs and fees and ongoing monthly costs and fees, in each case, charged by such Servicer.
-122-
Section 11.5. Rating Agency Costs. In connection with any Rating Agency Confirmation or other Rating Agency consent, approval or review required hereunder as a result of a request by Borrower (other than the initial review of the Loan by the Rating Agencies in connection with a Securitization), Borrower shall pay all of the costs and expenses of Lender, Servicer and each Rating Agency in connection therewith, and, if applicable, shall pay any fees imposed by any Rating Agency in connection therewith.
Section 11.6. Mezzanine Option. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Mortgage Lender shall have the options set forth in Section 11.6 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrower shall cooperate with Mortgage Lender and Lender in Mortgage Lender’s exercise, from time to time, of any and all such options in good faith and in a timely manner, which cooperate shall include, but not be limited to, cooperating with respect to all of the actions and items specified and/or referenced in Section 11.6 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Lender shall pay the reasonable and out-of-pocket fees and expenses of Borrower with respect to Borrower’s compliance with this Section 11.6; provided, that, Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of Borrower’s legal fees with respect to compliance with the terms of this Section 11.6.
Section 11.7. Registered Form. The Servicer, as non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain a record that identifies each owner (including successors and assignees) of an interest in the Loan, including the name and address of the owner, and each owner’s rights to principal and stated interest (the “Loan Register”), and shall record all transfers of an interest in the Loan, including each assignment, in the Loan Register. Transfers of interests in the Loan (including assignments) shall be subject to the applicable conditions set forth in the Loan Documents with respect thereto and Servicer will update the Loan Register to reflect the transfer. Furthermore, each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts and stated interest of each participant’s interest (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations. The entries in the Loan Register and Participant Register shall be conclusive. The Borrower, the Lenders and the Servicer may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Loan Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, and the Borrower, the Lenders and the Servicer may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, however, shall not affect Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Loan. Borrower acknowledges that the Notes are in registered form and may not be transferred except by register.
-123-
Section 11.8. Syndication. Without limiting Lender’s rights under Section 11.1, the provisions of this Section 11.8 shall only apply in the event that the Loan is syndicated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.8 set forth below.
(a) Sale of Loan, Co-Lenders, Participations and Servicing.
(i) Lender and any Co-Lender may, at their option, without Borrower’s consent (but with notice to Borrower), sell with novation all or any part of their right, title and interest in, and to, and under the Loan (the “Syndication”), to one or more additional lenders (each a “Co-Lender”). Each additional Co-Lender shall enter into an assignment and assumption agreement (the “Assignment and Assumption”) assigning a portion of Lender’s or Co-Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan, and pursuant to which the additional Co-Lender accepts such assignment and assumes the assigned obligations. From and after the effective date specified in the Assignment and Assumption (i) each Co-Lender shall be a party hereto and to each Loan Document to the extent of the applicable percentage or percentages set forth in the Assignment and Assumption and, except as specified otherwise herein, shall succeed to the rights and obligations of Lender and the Co-Lenders hereunder and thereunder in respect of the Loan, and (ii) Lender, as lender and each Co-Lender, as applicable, shall, to the extent such rights and obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents.
(ii) The liabilities of Lender and each of the Co-Lenders shall be several and not joint, and Lender’s and each Co-Lender’s obligations to Borrower under this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of each such Assignment and Assumption. Neither Lender nor any Co-Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Co-Lender. Lender and each Co-Lender shall be liable to Borrower only for their respective proportionate shares of the Loan.
(iii) Borrower agrees that it shall, in connection with any sale of all or any portion of the Loan, whether in whole or to an additional Co-Lender or Participant, within ten (10) Business Days after requested by Agent, furnish Agent with the certificates required under Sections 4.12 and 4.13 hereof and such other information as reasonably requested by any additional Co-Lender or Participant in performing its due diligence in connection with its purchase of an interest in the Loan.
(iv) Citi (or an Affiliate of Citi) shall act as administrative agent for itself and the Co-Lenders (together with any successor administrative agent, the “Agent”) pursuant to this Section 11.8. Borrower acknowledges that Citi, as Agent, shall have the sole and exclusive authority to execute and perform this Agreement and each Loan Document on behalf of itself, as a Lender and as agent for itself and the Co-Lenders subject to the terms of the Co-Lending Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges that Citi, as Agent, shall retain the exclusive right to grant approvals and give consents with respect to all matters requiring consent hereunder. Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to recognize or deal directly with any Co-Lender, and no Co-Lender shall have any right to deal directly with Borrower with respect to the rights, benefits and obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any one or more documents or instruments in respect thereof. Borrower may rely conclusively on the actions of Citi as Agent to bind Citi and the Co-Lenders, notwithstanding that the particular action in question may, pursuant to this Agreement or the Co-Lending Agreement be subject to the consent or direction of some or all of the Co-Lenders. Citi may resign as Agent of the Co-Lenders, in its sole discretion, or if required to by the Co-Lenders in accordance with the term of the Co-Lending Agreement, in each case without the consent of but upon prior written notice to Borrower. Upon any such resignation, a successor Agent shall be determined pursuant to the terms of the Co-Lending Agreement. The term Agent shall mean any successor Agent.
-124-
(v) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein (and in the Co-Lending Agreement) and no covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities of Agent shall be implied by or inferred from this Agreement, the Co-Lending Agreement, or any other Loan Document, or otherwise exist against Agent.
(vi) Except to the extent its obligations hereunder and its interest in the Loan have been assigned pursuant to one or more Assignments and Assumption, Citi, as Agent, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Co-Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, respectively. The term “Co-Lender” or “Co-Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Citi in its individual capacity. Citi and the other Co-Lenders and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Borrower, or any Affiliate of Borrower and any Person who may do business with or own securities of Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower, all as if they were not serving in such capacities hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to each other.
(vii) If required by any Co-Lender, Borrower hereby agrees to execute supplemental notes in the principal amount of such Co-Lender’s pro rata share of the Loan substantially in the form of the Note, and such supplemental note shall (i) be payable to order of such Co-Lender, (ii) be dated as of the Closing Date, and (iii) mature on the Maturity Date. Such supplemental note shall provide that it evidences a portion of the existing indebtedness hereunder and under the Note and not any new or additional indebtedness of Borrower. The term “Note” as used in this Agreement and in all the other Loan Documents shall include all such supplemental notes.
(viii) Citi, as Agent, shall maintain at its domestic lending office or at such other location as Citi, as Agent, shall designate in writing to each Co-Lender and Borrower a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Co-Lenders, the amount of each Co-Lender’s proportionate share of the Loan and the name and address of each Co-Lender’s agent for service of process (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrower, Citi, as Agent, and the Co-Lenders may treat each person or entity whose name is recorded in the Register as a Co-Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection and copying by Borrower or any Co-Lender during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent. A Co-Lender may change its address and its agent for service of process upon written notice to Lender, as Agent, which notice shall only be effective upon actual receipt by Citi, as Agent, which receipt will be acknowledged by Citi, as Agent, upon request.
-125-
(ix) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any financial institution or other entity may be sold a participation interest in the Loan by Lender or any Co-Lender without Borrower’s consent (such financial institution or entity, a “Participant”). No Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents and the Participant’s rights in respect of such participation shall be solely against Lender or Co-Lender, as the case may be, as set forth in the participation agreement executed by and between Lender or Co-Lender, as the case may be, and such Participant. Borrower may rely conclusively on the actions of Citi as Agent to bind Lender and any Participant, notwithstanding that the particular action in question may, pursuant to this Agreement or any participation agreement be subject to the consent or direction of some or all of the Participants. No participation shall relieve Lender or Co-Lender, as the case may be, from its obligations hereunder or under the Note or the Loan Documents and Lender or Co- Lender, as the case may be, shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder.
(x) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, Lender or any Co-Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, amounts owing to it in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System).
(i) Each of Borrower and Guarantor agrees to reasonably assist Lender in completing a Syndication satisfactory to Lender. Such assistance shall include (i) direct contact between senior management and advisors of Borrower and Guarantor and the proposed Co-Lenders, (ii) assistance in the preparation of a confidential information memorandum and other marketing materials to be used in connection with the Syndication, (iii) the hosting, with Lender, of one or more meetings of prospective Co-Lenders or with the Rating Agencies, (iv) the delivery of appraisals satisfactory to Lender if required, and (v) working with Lender to procure a rating for the Loan by the Rating Agencies.
-126-
(ii) Lender shall manage all aspects of the Syndication of the Loan, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocations of the commitments among the Co-Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Co-Lenders. To assist Lender in its Syndication efforts, each of Borrower and Guarantor agrees promptly to prepare and provide to Lender all information with respect to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Mezzanine A Borrower, Manager, Guarantor, any SPE Component Entity (as defined herein, in the Mezzanine A Loan Agreement and in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) (if any), any Xxxxxx Intermediate Entity, the Property (or any portion thereof), the Mezzanine A Collateral (or any portion thereof) and the Collateral (or any portion thereof) contemplated hereby, including all financial information and projections (the “Projections”), as Lender may reasonably request in connection with the Syndication of the Loan. Each of Borrower and Guarantor hereby represents and covenants that (i) all information other than the Projections (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to Lender by Borrower, Guarantor or any of their representatives is or will be, when furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (ii) the Projections that have been or will be made available to Lender by Borrower, Guarantor or any of their representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions. Each of Borrower and Guarantor understands that in arranging and syndicating the Loan, Lender, the Co-Lenders and, if applicable, the Rating Agencies, may use and rely on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof.
(iii) If required in connection with the Syndication, each of Borrower and Guarantor hereby agrees to:
(A) amend the Loan Documents to give Lender the right, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to have the Property reappraised on an annual basis;
(B) deliver updated financial and operating statements and other information reasonably required by Lender to facilitate the Syndication;
(C) deliver reliance letters reasonably satisfactory to Lender with respect to the environmental assessments and reports delivered to Lender prior to the Closing Date, which will run to Lender, any Co-Lender and their respective successors and assigns;
(D) execute modifications to the Loan Documents required by the Co- Lenders, provided that such modification will not (except as set forth in clause (E) below), change any material or economic terms of the Loan Documents, or otherwise materially increase the obligations or materially decrease the rights of Borrower and Guarantor pursuant to the Loan Documents; and
(E) if Lender elects, in its sole discretion, prior to or upon a Syndication, to split the Loan into two or more parts, or the Note into multiple component notes or tranches which may have different interest rates, principal amounts, payment priorities and maturities, Borrower and Guarantor agrees to cooperate with Lender in connection with the foregoing and to execute the required modifications and amendments to the Note, this Agreement and the Loan Documents and to provide opinions necessary to effectuate the same. Such Notes or components
may be assigned different interest rates, so long as the initial weighted average of such interest rates does not exceed the applicable Interest Rate (except following an Event of Default or any principal payments received on the Loan).
-127-
Borrower shall be responsible for payments of its legal fees incurred in connection with compliance with the requests made under this Section.
(c) Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by Borrower, or any other Person against Agent, Lender or any Co-Lenders or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agent of any of such Persons for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
(d) No Joint Venture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, neither Agent, Lender nor any Co-Lender by entering into this Agreement or by taking any action pursuant hereto, will be deemed a partner or joint venturer with Borrower.
(e) Voting Rights of Co-Lenders. Borrower acknowledges that the Co-Lending Agreement may contain provisions which require that amendments, waivers, extensions, modifications, and other decisions with respect to the Loan Documents shall require the approval of all or a number of the Co-Lenders holding in the aggregate a specified percentage of the Loan or any one or more Co-Lenders that are specifically affected by such amendment, waiver, extension, modification or other decision.
(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lender shall pay the reasonable and out-of-pocket fees and expenses of Borrower with respect to Borrower’s compliance with this Section 11.8; provided, that, Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of Borrower’s legal fees with respect to compliance with the terms of this Section 11.8.
Section 11.9. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 11.10. Intercreditor Agreement. Lender, Mortgage Lender and Mezzanine A Lender are or will be parties to a certain Intercreditor Agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) memorializing their relative rights and obligations with respect to the Loan, the Mortgage Loan, the Mezzanine A Loan, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Mezzanine A Borrower, the Collateral, the Mezzanine A Collateral and the Properties.
